Some lawmakers hesitant to sell at $2.16M By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — If legislation recommended by the Senate Capital Budget Committee yesterday is enacted by the Legislature, the City of Laconia would find itself bargaining with a committee of lawmakers to acquire the former Laconia
State School property with the value of the 227-acre tract the major bone of contention. The committee unanimously adopted an amendment to House Bill 1205 sponsored by Senator David Boutin (R-Hooksett), chairman of the Senate Capital Budget Committee, repealing a provision
of the 2012-2013 state budget that directed the Department of Administrative Services to offer the property to the city for $10-million and, if the offer was not accepted by July 1,2012, to offer the property to Belknap County. Instead, the committee recommended selling the property for its fair market value
in accordance with the statute governing the disposal of stateowned real estate (RSA 4:40), which requires first offering surplus land to the municipality where it is located. Senator Chuck Morse (R-Salem), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, see sTaTe sCHOOL page 12

Elizabeth, N. J. The church was putting on the play “Mary Magdalene,” for which Jack was helping with lighting and she was the lead actress. “I didn’t think so then, but I was young and pretty,” Anne recalled. “She was the best-looking one in the crowd,” Jack added. Following a meeting
of the crew and cast, he worked up the nerve to approach the 18 year-old beauty. It was good he did, because until that time her eye was drawn to another. “There were two young men who stayed after the meeting, and Jack was one of the two.” Jack was tall and had blonde, wavy see 70th annIVeRsaRy page 3

Puerto Rico aims to become fully bilingual within decade
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The governor of Puerto Rico is trying to do what more than a century of American citizenship has failed to accomplish: teach Puerto Ricans to speak English as well as they do Spanish. Gov. Luis Fortuno, who has been mentioned as a possible Republican vice-presidential candidate, has proposed an ambitious, and what critics call farfetched, plan to require all public schools to teach all courses in English while still offering Spanish grammar and literature classes. The U.S. territory has had a long and contentious relationship with the English language, and many Puerto Ricans are skeptical about embracing it, fearing they will lose a key part of their identity and find themselves a step closer to statehood, a status that only about half of islanders have backed in recent polls. The governor wants Puerto Rico to become the 51st U.S. state. But he says his plan is about economic necessity, not politics.

Indiana’s Lugar beaten in GOP primary by Tea Party WASHINGTON (AP) — Veteran Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar lost a bitter challenge from the right flank of his own Republican Party Tuesday night, his nearly fourdecade career in the Senate ended by a tea party-backed GOP foe. Also Tuesday, North Carolina voters weighed a gay-marriage ban and Democrats were picking a nominee to challenge Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in a June recall election, contests that overshadowed Mitt Romney’s unstoppa-
ble progress toward the GOP presidential nomination. Romney won the GOP presidential primaries in Indiana and North Carolina and was all but certain of victory in West Virginia, drawing close to the 1,144 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. Even Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, was essentially ignoring primaries that were likely to hand him 100 or so delegates of the 288 he still needed heading into Tuesday’s contests. He spent the
day campaigning in Michigan, where he castigated President Barack Obama as an “old-school liberal” whose policies would take the country backward. The outcomes of Tuesday’s far-flung voting were certain to give clues about the state of the electorate — and highlight the political minefields facing both Republican and Democratic candidates — six months before the general election. In the biggest race of the night, Lugar see LUGAR page 12
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic bill Tuesday to preserve low interest rates for millions of college students’ loans, as the two parties engaged in election-year choreography aimed at showing each is the better protector of families in today’s rugged economy. The 52-45 vote to begin debating the legislation fell eight votes short of the 60 needed to proceed and stalled work on an effort both parties expect will ultimately
produce a compromise, probably soon. For now, each side is happy to use the stalemate to snipe at the other with campaign-ready talking points while they are gridlocked over how to cover the $6 billion cost. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the vote showed that despite GOP claims that they support preventing an increase in student loan rates, “Republicans showed today that it’s only talk.” He also noted that the likely GOP presi-
dential candidate, Mitt Romney, supports a temporary extension of today’s low rates and needled, “I suggest he pick up the phone and call Senator McConnell.” That was a reference to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who said the battle is a phony one manufactured by Democrats to woo votes from students. Both parties say they want to extend low interest rates. see next page

Man who killed schoolteacher wife suspected affair Lynch to nominate Canterbury man to serve on N.H. Supreme Court CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch is nominating a veteran appellate lawyer with a deep grounding in legal ethics to the state Supreme Court. If approved by the Executive Council, James Bassett, 55, of Canterbury will succeed Senior Justice James Duggan on the state’s highest court. Duggan retired in January. Bassett is a senior litigator and partner in the law firm of Orr & Reno, where he has practiced law for the past 27 years. Among his specialties are commercial and complex civil litigation. Lynch lauded his experience and community involvement. “His intellect, breadth of experience and long and active community involvement will make him a great addition to our state’s highest court,” Lynch said Tuesday. Bassett, 55, is also a seasoned marathon runner who last month posted an impressive finish in the Big Sur marathon in California, placing 181 overall out of nearly 3,400 runners — again qualifying for the Boston Marathon. “If you’re going to run a marathon, you know how to dedicate yourself to something,” said longtime colleague Bill Chapman. “He’s a very energetic young man.” Chapman said Bassett last year completed the 200-mile bicycle ride portion of The Prouty annual cancer research fundraiser. Bassett is no stranger to the Supreme Court. He has argued numerous cases there as an appellate lawyer whose areas of expertise include legal ethics, professional liability and constitutional law. He has represented many media outlets in public access and right-to-know cases and co-authored articles with Chapman on media and libel law. He secured the right to have cameras in the courtroom during many state court proceedings. Bassett made an unsuccessful run for Congress in 1994, losing to Charlie Bass in the Republican primary. He has chaired the Canterbury Board of Selectmen and was a member of its planning board for more than 15 years. He serves on numerous boards and recently joined the board of directors of New Hampshire Public Radio. Bassett graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1978 and received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1982. He lives in Canterbury with his wife, Dr. Ellen Bassett, who is medical director of the Concord Regional Visiting Nurses Hospice Program. They have three grown children. The Executive Council will take up the nomination Wednesday. from preceding page “The Senate has ceased to be a place where problems are resolved. It’s become instead a place where Democrats produce campaign material,” McConnell said. The vote was nearly party-line, with Reid voting “no” to give himself the procedural ability to demand another vote once a compromise is reached. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, voted “present,” saying she wanted to avoid any vote that might affect a private education business of her husband, John McKernan. The Democratic bill would keep interest rates for subsidized Stafford loans at 3.4 percent for an additional year, rather than doubling automatically for new loans starting July 1. It would have no impact on current loans. A 2007 law approved by a Democratic Congress gradually lowered the rates but pops them back up to 6.8 percent in July because lawmakers were worried about costs. Stafford loans are for low- and middle-income students. The Education Department projects the measure would affect 7.4 million undergraduates borrowing money in the year starting July 1.
NEWPORT (AP) — A man charged with shooting his wife to death with their four children nearby told police he “lost his cool” because he believed she was having an affair with a 20-year-old man she once taught in school, a police investigator testified Tuesday. Sgt. Jeffrey Ladieu said James Perriello had confronted his wife, Natalie Perriello, with excerpts from a tape recorder he had secretly placed beneath the seat of her car. Ladieu said police learned through the recording that Perriello’s wife and her former student “were affectionate toward one another and had initiated a relationship.” He testified Perriello said she was no longer in love with him and that “it was over.” James Perriello, 41, is accused of shooting his wife at least six times in the head the night of April 26 at the family’s Grantham home. Ladieu testified she also suffered a defensive wound to the hand. Natalie Perriello, a popular teacher at Lebanon High School, was one of 23 nominees for New Hampshire Teacher of the Year in 2007. She taught
at Canaan Elementary School at the time. James Perriello is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond. The children, ages 3 to 12, were not injured and are staying with their grandparents. Prosecutors filed a protective order Tuesday barring their father from having any contact with them. His lawyers did not object. Judge Bruce Cardello found enough evidence during the half-hour hearing in Newport District Court to transfer Perriello’s case to superior court. A grand jury will soon hear evidence and possibly upgrade the charges to first-degree murder, Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin said after court. Ladieu, the only witness at the hearing, recounted a three-hour interview Perriello had with police following the shooting. He testified that Perriello said he had moved out of the house at one point and that he and his wife slept in separate bedrooms when he was at the house. see MOTIVE page 8
CONCORD — Nine projects across the Granite State were recognized on Tuesday by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance for outstanding achievement in preservation. The awards recognize individuals, organizations and corporations for work or projects in the categories of restoration and stewardship, rehabilitation and adaptive use, compatible new construction and advocacy. This years honorees included four education and advocacy initiatives, including Gunstock Mountain Resort and Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society for outstanding planning, documentation and education; Holderness Central School for outstanding public education and an artists in residence program celebrating the 250th anniversary of the incorporation of the town; and a mural class at Plymouth State University for outstanding educational initiative. Michael Bruss, chairman of the Alliance’s board of directors, noted that young people played a significant role in four of the projects. “It’s tremendous to see this commitment to making a difference in local communities, building awareness of local heritage and engaging in preservation advocacy,” he said, in reference to the Gunstock, Holderness and Plymouth State projects. Tuesday’s award program was sponsored by Shee-
han Phinney Bass +Green and TMS Architects as well as The Common Man Family of New Hampshire, The Duprey Companies, CMK Architects, Morin Contracting Services, Preservation Company, The Rowley Group, and Thurston Millworks. The Alliance noted, “The non-profit Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society has galvanized public support for preserving and celebrating (Gunstock’s) history. Formed in 2009, shortly after Gunstock’s 70-meter ski jump was named to Seven to Save, their first goal was to raise funds to rehabilitate the jump so it could be used again. The Society quickly expanded its mission to encompass the restoration of all four ski jumps, preservation of all historic resources and artifacts at Gunstock, and focusing on historical matters dealing with the ski industry in Belknap County since its inception. With special help from Commissioner Robert Durfee, the Society’s leaders and volunteers organized and preserved materials stored in the attic of the base lodge that included over 300 blueprints and 10,000 slides, negatives, and news clippings, mounted exhibits at the Gilford Public Library and Belknap Mill, wrote monthly articles for local papers, and created a website.

70th ANNIVERSARY from page one hair, she recalled. Tom was shorter and had dark hair trimmed short. “I thought, oh boy, I hope I hear from Tom, but it was Jack who came to the house.” After getting acquainted with her parents — he was the first caller that they liked — Jack swung by the house in his Chevrolet sedan and took Anne to a dance. “That would be the end of Tom,” she declared. After a year-and-a-half of dating, the two married in the same Elizabeth church. Their wedding day was May 9, 1942, and today the Levergoods, who reside at the Taylor Community, are marking their 70th Anniversary. Dry humor is the spice of the Levergoods’ relationship. Asked what’s kept them together for seven decades, Jack, who’s now 95, responded, “We just never thought of doing anything else.” “When you get married, you promise to love the other and cherish forever,” said Anne. “Who ever thought that would be 70 years?” At the time of their marriage, Jack had already begun his career as an engineer for Western Electric, a company he would stay with until his retirement. They were living in Union, N.J., and would pack up each weekend and drive to a plot in Stanton, N.J., where they spent weekends building a house. They started in 1945 and didn’t move in until 1948. They lived in that home for 10 years, and in 1958 moved to New Hampshire — first they moved to
Plaistow but shortly afterward they acquired a property in Tuftonboro’s Mirror Lake area. They would spend 40 years in Tuftonboro, until health concerns required them to move to the Taylor Community. After moving to New Hampshire, the Levergoods fell in with a group of other couples who took frequent international trips, through which they saw much of the world. Anne, who had been a secretary in New Jersey, transitioned to the role of full-time volunteer, helping organizations such as the Red Cross and the United Fund. Jack also did his share of charitable work, volunteering for Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro and for the Meals on Wheels program. Both were active and well-known in the Melvin Village Community Church, where Anne, a soprano, was a soloist for many decades. She also lent her talents to the Village Players in Wolfeboro. Asked what advice they’d give to young couples hoping to replicate the Levergoods’ success, Anne said, jokingly, “God help you — some brides say, ‘I’m going to go home to mother.’ I couldn’t do that, she lived with us.” “I don’t know how I did it,” admitted Jack. “You have to have a sense of humor, you can’t do anything without it.” Anne added, “We’re married for 70 years and we’re still speaking — that’s because neither of us can hear what the other says.”

Racial preferences are unfair & ridiculous Washington Post editorial writer and liberal blogger Jonathan Capehart is puzzled. Why does the “nonissue” of Harvard Law professor and Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s Native American ancestry “require so much attention?” he asked last week. When Warren was teaching at Pennsylvania, Texas and Houston law schools, she identified herself as Indian — or, to be politically correct, Native American. Then she was hired at Harvard and dropped the Native American from her biographical description. Harvard Law today says it has one faculty member of Native American heritage. But it won’t say which one. Capehart argues that this shouldn’t matter because Warren’s claim is accurate. When the issue first broke, I thought that was likely. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, much of which was once the Indian Territory. Many people there have Indian ancestors. And a researcher at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found that in a transcript of an 1894 marriage application, Warren’s great-great-great-grandmother listed herself as Cherokee. It’s a heritage to be proud of. The Cherokee were one of the “civilized tribes,” and their leader Sequoyah created an ingenious 86-letter alphabet. You can see it, together with English, on street signs in Tahlequah, Okla. Let’s assume the 1894 document is accurate. That makes Warren one-thirty-second Native American. George Zimmerman, the Florida accused murderer, had a black grandmother. That makes him a quarter black, four times as black as Warren is Indian, though The New York Times describes him as a “white Hispanic.” What’s wrong with what Warren did? Capehart seems to understand that. “The implication in these stories is that Warren used minority status to advance her career,” he writes. Well, yes. When she was hired, Harvard Law had just denied tenure to a woman teacher and was being criticized for not having enough minorities and females on its faculty. Of course, Harvard and Warren say her claim to minority status had nothing to do with her being hired. And if it did, no one is going to say so. Nothing to see here; just move on. The important thing is the Warren story illustrates the rottenness of our system of racial quotas and preferences. Although the people in charge of administering them deny this, just about everyone with eyes to see knows that you’re more likely to be hired and promoted if you have checked one of the non-Asian minority boxes: black, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander.
You don’t hear Republicans criticizing this system — and it was a Republican president, Richard Nixon, who introduced it in the federal government in 1970. It quickly spread to academia and corporate America. People who classify themselves as approved minorities get into schools and get jobs that they wouldn’t if they classified themselves as white. Not surprisingly, some people, perhaps including Warren, game this system. The original justification was that this would overcome the disadvantages that American blacks endured during decades of slavery and segregation. That made sense to many people at the time. Those disadvantages were real, and most Americans wanted to be fair. But the extension of minority status to other groups and the perpetuation of racial preferences for nearly half a century since the abolition of legal segregation mean that there is increasingly little correlation between membership in the favored categories and genuine disadvantage. Black leaders lament that black college admissions increasingly favor affluent blacks (Barack Obama has made this point) and recent immigrants from Africa. Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka sought to separate Pacific Islanders from Asians, since the former are more disadvantaged. One solution would be to ban self-description and come up with rigorous definitions of race, like Louisiana’s post-Reconstruction racial code or South Africa’s apartheid laws. But those don’t seem like very attractive models. An alternative is to ditch racial quotas and preferences altogether. Retiring Democratic Sen. Jim Webb has made a proposal for something like this. The strongest argument for this is not that some whites (and Asians) get passed over; these individuals will probably do fine nonetheless. The strongest argument against the system is that it casts a pall of illegitimacy over the genuine achievements of the intended beneficiaries. In the meantime, what may undermine racial quotas and preferences most effectively is ridicule. For isn’t the idea that the blond, blue-eyed Elizabeth Warren suffered some terrible disadvantage and is in need of special preference because she is one-thirty-second Cherokee just laugh-out-loud funny?

I lived in Germany then; Sandy’s column is insult to the majority To the editor, I read the Sun almost every day, online, and I watch Leo Sandy’s commentaries from a distance — meaning, I do not read them at all. Or I glance at some of them briefly. I am glad I do not know the man and I probably, hopefully, never will get to know him. There is a man who wants to be an expert on everything. His verbose essay on “Parenting of Nazis” caught my eye today and I read it, I actually did. And it made me sick. I was born in 1936, lived in Germany during World War II and afterwards until I emigrated, job related, to the USA. I remember my friends, my school mates, my relatives, my wife’s siblings and her friends and families, all children of my age group, and teenagers a few years older or younger, and their parents. And, of course, my own parents. Sandy’s dissertation shows he has no experience of his own, yet he blows himself up to be expert-size. His com-
the vast majority, of Germans and their children of that time period. Will Sandy ever realize that it behooves him to keep his peace — at times, preferably most times — and not dwell on matters of which he has not the slightest background? Occasionally, I see in responses to his articles that many people react negatively to his opinions. And I started this day on an uplifted mood. Sixty-seven years ago, on May 8 in Europe, all fighting stopped with Germany’s unconditional surrender. For me a new life began. WW II was over but the Cold War had already begun. Mr. Sandy, stand back in matters which are way beyond your knowledge, experience or understanding. W. Richard Doerre Alton Bay (I abbreviate my first, Germanic name “Winfried”.

LETTERS When reps are ‘invited’ to a meeting it needs to be posted as official To the editor, Belknap County lawmakers appear to be circumventing the Right-to-Know and other legal notice requirements. The first instance was when the Laconia City Council “invited” the County Commission to attend its regular council meeting. At that meeting two of three commissioners attended and deliberated with the council on issues involved with the county budget. This unnoticed commission meeting (a quorum) was a preplanned gathering on a date, place and time certain by “invitation”. If not exempted, a meeting occurs as soon a quorum arrives at any gathering to discuss government business. By law a political, social or chance gathering are exempt. However, an “invitational” meeting is not an exemption. The commissions’ “official” response is denial of any violation. Is it now the norm for the majority members of the two Belknap County elected public bodies’ to use innovative definitions, in-your-face arrogance or deception? Notice: “The Belknap County Delegations’ Executive Committee will meet with the County Commissioners on Monday, April 9, 2012 at 4 p.m.. The purpose of this meeting is to hear a request from the county treasurer to borrow money in anticipation of taxes.” The commission was a no show. However, 14 of the 18 “invited” delegation members, a quorum, were in attendance and sat at the dais with the committee. The chairman of the Executive Committee/Delegation called the meeting(s) to order. The delegation quorum, siting at the dais, was not some chance social event or political gathering. It was by special “invitation”, a premeditated gathering initiated via an e-mail, by the chairman, on Monday April 9, 2012, 8:36 a.m.: “I have received questions about the authority of the Executive Committee to approve the borrowing. Since it may be a subject of the meeting of the Executive Committee this afternoon (to which all members of the convention are “invited”) I thought it might be useful for you to see the statutory citation ahead of time.” The noticed Commission and Executive Committee meeting was transformed into an unannounced delegation meeting as delegation members sat themselves at the dais achieving a quorum. The meeting was called to order with 14 delegation members present. They deliberated
on the county borrowing in anticipation of taxes. Not only the Delegation’s 7-member Executive Committee, but also four members of the delegation participated in deliberations and received responses from the treasurer, finance officer and administrator. After the Delegation/Executive Committee had vetted the Tax Anticipation Note, the motion passed “unanimously”. Then, under “New Business” a delegation member was recognized, not of the Executive Committee who read an e-mail pertaining to a position in the department of Register of Deeds; Although funded in the budget, the position was not going to be filled without approval from the commission. Clearly, this subject matter does not fall under the authority of the Executive Committee, but is an appropriation line item in budget. Moreover, the delegation, in this un-notice meeting, deliberated on this line item for over 10 minutes regarding the Department of Register of Deeds budget and the annual appropriation process comprised of individual specific purpose with specific offsetting appropriation. This meeting by “invitation” is another example of perpetuating county secrecy. By utilizing unprecedented wording; “a nonpublic conference/non-meeting”, usurping Advisory Committees by labeling them as a “team” — County Contract Negotiating “Team” or County’s Executive Management “Teams”, are clearly less than transparency in county government. The most recent “NOTICE”: Belknap County Commissioners “Invite” the County Delegation for a meeting on May 14, 2012 at 5 p.m.. Why this in-your-face wording use of “invitation” rather than “Joint meeting”? The law provides $25 per day for actual attendance at “meetings” with an allowance for travel expenses to and from the place of meeting. 1.) Is a non-meeting a paid meeting? 2.) Does attendance by “invitation” preclude compensation or allowance for travel expenses? 3.) Does reimbursement for delegations members become mandatory once a quorum is achieved? 4.)

Who will have Mitt Romney’s ear if he is elected president? To the editor, It may be unfair to say that Mitt Romney is anti-women. It’s just that some, on whom he depends for votes and campaign funds, have various reasons for favoring unfair treatment of women. What employer, whose vision is limited to “the bottom line”, would choose to pay a woman as much as a man to do the same task? Mr. Romney has yet to commit to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, which requires equal pay for equal work. President Obama eagerly signed the Act 1n 2009. Mr. Romney has been caught up in the frenzy to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which will enable women to
pays or deductibles, including maternity screenings, mammograms, and well-woman visits. (Some conservatives have successfully promoted wildly distorted views in order to defeat “Obamacare” and frustrate the president.) The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops objects to requiring Catholic institutions to provide insurance coverage for contraception. However, 98-percent of sexually active Catholic women use contraceptives, and a high percentage of Catholic men, no doubt, approve. Who is the Roman Catholic Church? And who will have Mitt Romney’s ear if he is elected president? John S Allen

LETTERS Myth that more guns equals less crime stems from 1998 book To the editor, Fourteen-year-old student shoots himself while in the cafeteria of Walpole Middle School on February 10th; Manchester police officer severely wounded in a gun battle on March 23rd; Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney killed and four officers wounded in a shootout April 12th; a man shot to death during an incident involving Keene police; one man dead and another hospitalized after shooting incident in Chesterfield April 16th; two men found shot to death April 19th in Springfield; three men arrested in Manchester April 27th in connection with shooting incident and another drive-by shooting the same night is being investigated; on April 26th a man in Grantham shoots and kills his wife while their four children, ranging in age from three to 12, were in the house at the time of the shooting. The news items listed illustrate a small local microcosm of the gun culture in our nation. Mr. Dunn, in a letter to this forum, would like us to believe that more guns available to more people will equate to less crime. Even though, internationally, 86-percent of gun deaths of children under the age of 14 occur in the United States, Dunn can justify this by arguing that, “No one was shot at a school with an automatic weapon.” Please don’t regurgitate the NRA propaganda that, “guns don’t kill people – people kill people”, because the NRA conveniently neglects to tell us that in 68-to 72-percent (depending on sources) of violent crime murder, the “people” choose handguns as their instrument of killing. I realize that this does not represent most gun owners, but in a recent pro-gun blog, Guns For Everyone, they made their feelings quite clear in the Trayvon Martin incident by stating, “#Zimmerman=population control....#dealwithit.” Unfortunately
this is the mindset of too many “people” carrying guns.\ The myth that more guns equals less crime stems from a book written by John Lott, “More Guns, Less Crime”, in 1998. When seeking answers about his resources, Lott was evasive and couldn’t produce evidence to support his theories. It is believed that Lott misled critics and falsified data when writing his book. Researchers have found his premise deeply flawed and misguided. If we were to follow the logic of Lott and gun advocates, we could reduce highway fatalities by putting more cars on the road. I have great respect for responsible gun owners, but it’s this call to arbitrarily arm more “people” with guns that causes me great concern. In a somewhat related letter, Mr. Gould, encourages us to do some “responsible research” of the candidates by referencing the NRA. This would be all well and good except for the fact that the NRA, once an organization that promoted hunting, firearms safety programs, organized rifle clubs, and taught marksmanship, has now morphed into a political arm of the Republican Party. Just as I’m sure Gould will not be researching Democratic or liberal web sites, why would he believe that those with opposing views would rely on the opinions of the NRA. Of course, Gould believes that “it’s all true” because the NRA tells him what he wants to hear. I would suggest to Gould that “truth”, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. While I do support responsible gun ownership, I feel that NRA political assertions are often times not connected to facts, but rather an expression of fact-free ideology, which conveniently often overlaps with the interests of the gun industry.

SANBORNTON — For the seventh time since the push for SB-2 began in this town, the move to abandon the traditional town meeting format has failed at the polls. In Tuesday’s town election the SB-2 question received a majority — 305 votes in favor compared to 256. But the 53-percent majority was short of the 60-percent needed for the measure to pass. Earl Leighton, chairman of the town Budget Committee who was one of the people behind the latest SB-2 petition, said, “It’s difficult to get that 60-percent.” But he pointed to the 53-percent majority as proof that most people in Sanbornton favor the change to the all-day voting format for deciding spending issues. He said he expected SB-2 to be on the ballot again next year. The last time SB-2 was on the ballot in 2006 it received a 57-percent margin which made Leighton especially optimistic that SB-2 supporters would be victorious. However, this time it fell 32 votes of the margin needed to be adopted. “It just goes to show that in smalltown politics one vote does make a difference, Leighton said. In the only contest for office on the ballot, Selectman Karen Ober easily won election over challenger Mark
Ryba by a margin of 359-182. Ober said she was relieved and excited about her victory. As she said during the campaign, Ober said the challenge facing selectmen will be to “keep a reasonable budget in the face of rising expenses.” Ryba said he was pleased to receive 182 votes. He said he planned to run again next year. He felt that being a young person running for office brought out more voters to the polls. But he said that to win he needs to become better known. In a write-in campaign for a two-year term on the Budget Committee Roger Gray beat Howard Davine, 222-94. The following were elected without opposition: Earl Leighton (365 votes) and Jeffrey Jenkins (272 votes) for three-year terms on the Budget Committee, Laura Cranton (430 votes) for Cemetery Trustee, Kristen Rathjen (424 votes) for Library Trustee, Patsy Wells (467 votes) for Moderator, Sandra Leighton (446 votes) for Supervisor of the Checklist, and Norma Colp (420 votes) for Trustee of Trust Funds. Voters are scheduled to convene today at 7 p.m. in the Town Meeting to be held in the Sanbornton Central School. At that time voters will be asked to approve a nearly $3.7-million operating budget, plus another $1.1-million for special items and capital expenditures.
MOTIVE from page 3 Perriello, who said he was taking antidepressants and anger-management medication, was monitoring Natalie’s email, social media sites and text messages, Ladieu said. Court documents released Tuesday said that on the day of the shooting — when the two had seen a marital counselor — Perriello called a police officer to ask if his wife could get arrested for texting while driving. He said he checked her phone records and found she had been texting “this guy” — sending up to 70 messages between the time she left home to when she arrived at school. According to Ladieu, Perriello said
that when he was talking to his wife about the recording, she was in bed, their 3-year-old son next to her. “She was getting quite upset,” Ladieu testified. “She was telling him to get out, to stop listening to the recording.” Perriello said he pulled out the gun and when his wife tried to grab it, it accidentally went off. Ladieu testified that most of the bullets entered Natalie Perriello’s head at a close range — “within a fraction of an inch.” One bullet was lodged in the window frame above where the 3-year-old lay. Perriello called 911 and told the see next page

High school math scores that are again cumulatively below average trigger discussion on Inter-Lakes board By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — At the Inter-Lakes School Board meeting last night, at least one board member was less concerned with the overall analysis of why the district and three of its schools failed to make “Adequate Yearly Progress”, as defined by the federal No Child Left Behind legislation, and was more concerned with why the high school’s math scores continue to lag behind state averages. While all schools acheived adequate progress in reading and math as a general population, three schools missed their mark due to inadequate performance of sub-categories of students, which, according to the law, trips up the entire school. At both Inter-Lakes Elementary and the Middle Tier, students in the “educational disability” grouping failed to progress sufficiently in both reading and math scores. At the high school, the educationally disabled as well as the “economic disability” groupings performed inadequately on the math test. The only school in the district to make adequate yearly progress in all areas was Sandwich Central School. “One thing that sticks out, for four years in a row, the math scores have not hit the target,” said board member Jack Carty, referring to one of many slides of data included in a PowerPoint report presented by Curriculum Coordinator Kathleen Hill. Previous charts showed Inter-Lakes students besting the statewide average through the eighth grade, then falling behind when tested in high school. Carty asked, “Would it be possible to have a briefing on how you’ll solve this next year?” Patty Kennelly, high school principal told Carty that students in her school were being encouraged to take more math courses and that ninth grade math courses were being lengthened by the rate of one hour per week. Also, the school is developing a program to help students that struggle with math and another initiative aims to “improve student fluency with their math facts.” Help is coming from lower grades, too, reported Middle Tier principal Everett Bennett. Math instruction time has increased in his grades, and as many as three-quarters of students are now taking algebra prior to their freshman year. “Some of the from preceding page dispatcher he had just shot his wife. The dispatcher kept him on the line, according to court documents, and could hear him ask his children for “hugs goodbye,” adding, “I don’t know when I’ll see you again.” Ladieu said when police got to the house, they heard children screaming and crying. Perriello’s lawyers did not question Ladieu.

steps that we’ve taken will hopefully feed into the steps they’re taking at the high school,” he said. Carty wasn’t satisfied, though. “Four years is a significant amount of time that we’ve been fiddling and tinkering, we still haven’t acheived what we want to acheive... We’re still in that leaking boat.” “I’m as frustrated as you are with it, but we’re making progress,” said Kennelly. Howard Cunningham, board member, agreed that further steps were necessary. “When you hit the high school, you hit electives. You have a group of students who habitually avoid math,” he said. “We have the potential for eight semesters of math at the high school, we should be heading in that direction,” and not seek to only meet the state’s minimum standards for graduation eligibility. Carty seconded the call for more mandated math credits. Kennelly, though, thought it was important to develop the supporting programs first. “There’s a foundation we need to be sure is in place before we mandate that,” she said. Inter-Lakes high schoolers currently must take three years of math to be eligible to graduate. Carol Baggaley noted that students must take four years of English classes. “Why don’t we raise the bar for math?” Administrators urged the board members to be patient, explaining that the programs and adjustments will take years for their benefits to appear, especially since 11th graders are the only high schoolers given the NECAP test, used to measure adequate yearly progress. Although the high school math results were cause for concern of some board members, it seemed the consensus view that the No Child Left Behind law, which expects each school to shepherd each of its students to proficiency by 2014, is critically flawed. According to figures presented by Hill, 121 New Hampshire school made adequate yearly progress, while 332 did not. “We are measuring ourselves by a law that is one hundred percent agreed upon as a disaster,” observed Carty. “I don’t disagree with you,” said Hill. There appears to be broad consensus in Congress to move beyond the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law but Democrats and Republicans have not been able to agree to what should replace it.

voted to “grandfather any employee who had notified the town of a change and was receiving coverage for a divorced spouse at the time of the passage of the policy on Ag. 29. Until such time that there is a change in the status of the policy.” By reaffirming the June 2011 decision to make the cash settlement with Pike, the selectmen “effectively chang(ed) the status of the policy (approved last August) as it applies to Pike,” Condodemetraky argues. At tomorrow’s hearing, scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Barry may also take up a separate motion by the town, and Cormier, Town Administrator K. Jeanne Beaudin, to block Condodemetraky’s effort to obtain evidence of how the health benefit for former spouses was applied in individual cases. Specifically, Condodemetraky wants disclosure of information about Beaudin’s marital history “whether those spouses and/ or past spouses were on the (town’s) health insurance.” He is also seeking information on “divorced employees with spouses still on the health policy.” Condodemetraky states, in documents filed with the court, whether Beaudin and other employees took advantage of the policy is relevant because it goes to the issue of “the extent of the practice and whether it was consistently applied.” Pike, who is being represented by his own attorney, is seeking to have his case consolidated with the town’s. Condodemetraky as filed an objection to merge the cases. In motion filed with the court Pike maintains, “By becoming a selectman, (he) did not lose his rights to bring claims of regress against and, in fact, retained those rights unimpaired. (Condodemetraky) is simply wrong when he claims that the pursuing of a civil claim by appropriate means by Pike is a conflict of interest of his oath of office. If such a standard were to be imposed upon public officials, the already difficult task of recruiting individuals to serve local government and municipalities would become virtually impossible.” Condodemetraky says his action against the town in an effort to “seek a remedy for the cronyism within the Belmont Town Office whereby certain parties believe they are entitled to financial favors.”
FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
Celebrate MOTHER’S [ with us \
By Mike Mortensen LACONIA – A Superior Court judge is set to hear arguments tomorrow on whether to dismiss a suit against the town of Belmont challenging a decision by the Selectboard to compensate Selectman Jon Pike for the cost of his health insurance over a three year period. Judge James Barry, Jr. will take up the motion in Belknap County Superior Court by the town to dismiss the suit brought by George Condodemetraky. In the suit brought last December, Condodemetraky alleges that the town, based on the affirmative vote of just one selectman, decided in June 2011 to pay Pike $11,000 after he threatened to sue after being told that — after he and his ex-wife Town Clerk/Tax Collector Cynthia DeRoy divorced — he could no longer be carried on her taxpayer-supported health insurance policy. Pike contends that since other divorced town employees continued to carry their former spouses on their health insurance it was improper to deny him the same benefit. Selectman Ronald Cormier was the sole member of the board to vote on the matter on June 6, 2011. Pike and then-Selectman David Morse recused themselves. Condodemetraky has further alleged the June 2011 vote was illegal because it was taken behind closed doors. In seeking to have the suit dismissed the town says that whatever errors there may have been in the June 2011 vote were ultimately rectified when on April 2 of this year, Cormier and newly elected Selectman Ruth Mooney voted to reaffirm the decision to reimburse Pike for three years of premiums he personally paid. In explaining her vote last month Mooney said while she was not taking a position on the merits of the settlement, she voted to reaffirm the decision in the hope that Condodemetraky’s suit would be dismissed. In his objection to the dismissal motion, Condodemetraky states that in on Aug. 29, 2011, the selectmen voted to remove divorced spouses from the town health insurance policy within 31 days or the employees would face discipline, including termination.

from preceding page roso stressed that member states must implement their promised spending cuts and tax increases. Both offered the consolation of new efforts to revive struggling economies. EU President Herman Van Rompuy called for an informal summit of the EU’s 27 leaders on May 23 to discuss economic growth and to prepare for a summit in June focused on job creation. Tsipras’s party came in second Sunday, winning 52 of parliament’s 300 seats with 16.8 percent of the vote. He has the presidential mandate to end the political impasse by forming a governing coalition by Thursday. Antonis Samaras, head of the winning conservative party that has 108 seats, gave up on the same task after just a few hours Monday when Tsipras spurned his advances. Tsipras said his government-building drive would focus on ending “the loan agreements of subservi-
ence” with Greece’s international bailout creditors. Greece has depended on rescue loans from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund since May 2010, after decades of profligate state spending and poor financial management priced it out of money-lending markets. To secure the bailouts, Athens took a hatchet to pensions, salaries, health care and pretty much everything else, while repeatedly raising taxes. But more than two years of austerity have left the economy deep in recession and unemployment at a record high 21 percent. Tsipras urged Samaras and third-placed Socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos to renege on their support for the bailout commitments, asking them to “honestly repent for their disastrous choices that tore our society apart.” Greece has promised to pass new austerity measures worth €14.5 billion ($18.9 billion) next month and to implement other swift reforms.

STATE SCHOOL from page one told the committee that since the budget was adopted the property has been appraised three times, twice by the state and once by the city. One appraisal, performed some years ago, he said placed the value at $6-million, but “needs revisions.” Last year the Bureau of Right-of Way of the Department of Transportation appraised the property at $2.16-million, which corresponded closely to the value calculated by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research. Explaining the need to amend the legislation, Morse said that the process set forth by the budget failed to indicate how to proceed if the property appraised for less than $10-million. When the city met the state’s offer of $10-million with a counter offer to purchase the site for its appraised value of $2.16-million, he said that there was no way to accept it or begin negotiations without a change in the legislation. To clear the procedural hurdle, Morse explained that the committee proposal would refer the transaction to the Long Range Capital Planning and Uti-
lization Committee, which is bound by statute to review and approve the sale of all state-owned real estate. The voting members of the committee consist of an appointee of the governor, four senators and four representatives, one of whom, Representative Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett), a high-ranking member of the House leadership team, has spoken against selling the property for its appraised value. Aware of Chandler’s position, Morse said “I didn’t want to see this go to Long Range Capital Planning to have them say the state should keep the property. This was not my intention. I hope it doesn’t go that way.” Morse repeated that he aims “to get this property off the state’s books,” including the facility on the site housing sex offenders who do not come under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections, which he said costs $1.2-million a year to operate for six people. “It is not in the financial interest of the state to keep this property,” he said. “we have to fix these problems,” he continued, referring to the appraisals and the sex offenders. “They’re our problems. Not Laconia’s problems.”

Speaking for the city, Councilor Matt Lahey, who chaired the commission convened by the Legislature to weight the future of the property, reminded the committee that after canvassing state departments and agencies the commission concluded that “the state had no forseeable use for the property.” Lahey explained that the city was offering to purchase four tax parcels.The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and Eastman Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in half by Right Way Path. There are some 26 buildings on the parcel, all in varying degrees of disrepair. The city holds a 99-year lease at $1 per year, terminating in 2099, on all three of the remaining parcels: an undeveloped 10.4-acre lot at the junction of Old North Main Street and North Main Street, an unimproved wooded lot of 7.5-acres at the corner of Lane Road and Meredith Center Road and the 10.2 acres housing the Robbie Mills Sports Complex. In agreeing to pay the appraised value for the entire property, including the leased parcels,, Lahey said that the city was making “more than a fair price offer by purchasing something that we already own.” Moreover, Lahey pointed out that an initial environmental assessment of the site undertaken in 2010 identified a number of likely sources of contamination, primarily in and around the buildings. He said that the state, as the party responsible for the contamination, would not be eligible for federal funding to assess and address it. Tthe city,on the other hand, would qualify for grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency. “We’re hoping the offer can move through the process and be accepted,” Lahey closed. Laconia Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), who alone voted against making an offer for the site, signed the register in opposition, but did not speak. Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) told the committee that the city “has not seen one penny since that property got into the state’s hands” and said the state should give the city an opportunity to benefit from its redevelopment. Both Boutin and Senator Andy Sanborn (R-Henniker) expressed concerns about the city’s offering price. “I have serious concerns,” said Boutin, who stressed that his legislation was not intended to accept the city’s offer. “$8,000 an acre makes me jittery,” said Sanborn. “I’m not trying to squeeze you for a pile of money,” he told Lahey, “but we have to look out for all the taxpayers.” Morse reminded the committee of what he called “lots of bad blood” that arose between the state and the city over opening a prison on the Laconia State School property and later, despite a promise to relocate the facility, maintaining it there for another decade. “It’s got to go away,” he said. “The discussion in the Legislature,” Morse said, “is about price. It all depends on what the buyer and seller want to see happen.” He anticipated the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee will order another appraisal and “have a serious debate and serious division over price.” LUGAR from page one lost to tea-party backed state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, who will face Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in the November general election. Before the polls had closed, Democrats were promising to compete hard against Mourdock. Republicans need to gain four seats to take control of the U.S. Senate, and a Lugar loss “gives Democrats a pickup opportunity,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. With voting under way, Lugar, 80, made clear he would stand by Tuesday’s outcome, ruling out running as an independent. “This is it,” he said. Playing out in a conservative state, the race illustrated the electorate’s animosity toward many incumbents and anyone with deep ties to Washington. That was clear when Lugar, who hasn’t faced questions about his residency in decades, found himself on the defensive over whether he lived in Indiana or northern Virginia. Lugar also was cast as too moderate for the conservative GOP in Indiana,
Hawks stay alive by beating Celtics 87-86
ATLANTA (AP) — Welcome back, Al Horford. In his first start since January, Horford scored 19 points, hit Atlanta’s final two baskets and came up with a huge defensive play to make sure the Hawks kept their season going with a frenetic 87-86 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday night. “I wanted to bring that energy to the team,” Horford said. That he did, dribbling out at the head of fast breaks and diving fearlessly on the court for loose balls, not the least bit worried about reinjuring the pectoral muscle that kept him out most of the season. In addition to leading the Hawks in scoring, he grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out three assists, came up with three steals and blocked three shots — all while playing more than 31 minutes, far more than the Hawks intended. “I didn’t expect to play that many at all,” Horford said. “We had an arrangement. It was going to be between 15 and 25.” With the season on the line, the Hawks couldn’t worry about pre-game arrangements. The Celtics lead the series 3-2 heading back to Boston for Game 6 on Thursday. If the Hawks can steal one on the road, the deciding game would be Saturday in Atlanta. “We can be nothing but confident,” Horford said. “We know it’s going to be a big challenge up there. “ Boston had a chance to clinch the series when Rajon Rondo stole Josh Smith’s inbounds pass with 10 seconds remaining and raced down the court, looking for the winner. But the point guard got hemmed in along the sideline when Horford jumped out to defend him, which caused Rondo to lose control and fling a desperation pass. Smith knocked it away, the ball rolling harmlessly out of bounds as the horn sounded. “I cornered myself,” Rondo said. “Give Al credit.” A relieved Smith collapsed on the scorer’s table as glittery streamers fell from the rafters. “I feel awful the game ended the way it ended, because I thought Rondo willed us back into the game,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett led the Celtics with 16 points apiece. Rondo had 13 points and 12 assists, and the last of his five steals gave Boston a chance to from preceding page and he took heat for his work with Democrats on issues such as nuclear nonproliferation, underscoring deep polarization in the country as well as a split in the GOP between the establishment wing and the insurgent tea party. On Capitol Hill, Republicans braced for Lugar loss throughout the day. “It says if you’re an incumbent, you better not lose touch with home,” said South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.

end the series early and get some much-needed rest. But there’s still work to do, and now the Celtics have to cope with an Atlanta player who spent most of the season rehabbing. Horford tore his left pectoral muscle in January, missing the rest of the regular season and the first three games of the playoffs. But he made a surprise return in Game 4, one of the few bright spots in an embarrassing 101-79 loss that gave the Celtics command of the series.

2 men arrested leaving vacant Belmont home
BELMONT — Two men confronted by police as they exited a vacant home on Monday evening have been charged with burglary. Walker K. Bond, 56, of 19 Jameson Road in Laconia and Michael W. Sweeney, 37, of 514 Union Road in Belmont are both facing Class B felony burglary charges. Sweeney was also charged with endangering the welfare of a minor. A 12-year-old boy was in the company of the two men at the time of their arrest. According to a police report, Detective Gary Boisvert and Corporal Adam Hawkins were on foot patrol on the railroad tracks near the Belmont Town Beach when the heard talk coming from a vacant home at 36 Horsepoint Road. Bond and Sweeney were arrested when the exited the home. Sweeney was being held in the Belknap County Jail in lieu o $30,000 cash bail. He is due to be arraigned this morning in 4th Circuit Court in Laconia. Bond was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned on June 6. The boy was released into the custody of a parent. Police say the case remains under investigation and more charges may be forthcoming. Anyone with information that may be helpful to the investigation is urged to call Detective Boisvert at 267-8351 or text “BPDNH plus you tip” to 274637 (CRIMES).

PRESERVATION from page 3 ing hut and documenting the locations of original structures and lifts. Carol Anderson, president of the Society, wrote grants, solicited contributions, organized projects, and in her spare time, authored the justpublished ‘History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Mountains,’ a well-researched, illustrated history with a foreword by Gilford resident and Olympic medalist Penny Pitou. The society members make themselves readily available to answer questions and provide access to the archives, and are very enthusiastic by the tremendous feedback they’ve received from local residents as well as people from across the state and the country who are gaining new awareness of the region’s rich history.” In selecting Holderness Central School for an award, the Alliance noted: “The students . . . celebrated the 250th anniversary of their town with an intensive exploration of history and a multi-disciplinary arts project culminating in an original play for the community performed in September 2011. It was the final event of the town’s year- long celebration that included tours of historic sites, stone wall building, a tribute to the Abenaki tribe, and parades. This school of 215 (kindergarten through 8th graders) has a history of success with its NH State Council on the Arts-funded Artist-in-Residence program, and this year was no exception. A writer, theater artist, musician, movement/theater artist, and artist/set designer worked with the 6th, 7th and 8th graders as they focused on the question: ‘What gives Holderness its sense of place?’ After a survey of parents and grandparents, students explored areas of research, correlated local history time lines to a broader context, read local histories and interviewed long-time residents. The Holderness Historical Society helped them along the way. Students kept journals, wrote music and poetry, and during an intensive 10-day residency with the artists, developed a performance in which every student participated. Organizers note that the collaboration of students, teachers, support staff, administration and community made the experience especially rewarding. The students shared their writing called “I am Holderness” during a ceremony at Town Hall, and the video of the production
has been shown to additional groups. This project affirms that an awareness of a sense of place and its importance in the scheme of things are one of the many gifts we can give our children.” Professor Tom Driscoll and 2010-11 Mural Class at Plymouth State University was saluted for a, “creative and unique art project . . . an outstanding collaboration between Plymouth State University, the Northern Forest Heritage Park and the Tri-County Community Action Program. It brought positive attention to an important, blighted landmark, and enormous benefits for the city of Berlin. In the fall of 2010, twelve dedicated Plymouth State University art students signed on to help preserve one of NH’s most historic industrial icons, the former Brown Paper Company’s Research and Development facility. The West Wing of the nearly 100 year old building, which stands on Main Street at the north end of the business district and adjacent to the heritage park, was badly deteriorated, a target for vandals and an eyesore for the community. Listed to the Preservation Alliance’s Seven to Save in 2010, it had once housed a distinguished cadre of cutting- edge research scientists and inventors who set the standard for innovation in the wood products industry for many years. PSU Art professor Tom Driscoll created a one-semester course in public murals as a way to offer students a chance to help. They would design, draw and paint individual murals to be installed over the shattered windows of the R & D building. Jim Wagner, Chairman of the Northern Forest Heritage Park, had been working with PSU for many years on various activities, and served as the mural class’s ‘client.’ After site visits and review of numerous reference materials, the students divided into groups and worked on creating three separate mural designs, each with a specific theme. Each mural design consisted of 24 individual panels that created an overall unified image or series of related images. Wagner chose one winning design, and then the entire class worked to transfer the 24 images to special weather-resistant plywood panels. The students worked tirelessly during class periods, after hours and during the weekends to complete the project by the end of their 2011 spring semester.

Tilton Winter Farmer’s Market season ends, new location sought TILTON — The Tilton Winter Farmers’ Market closed out the season just a few weeks ago with bigger than ever crowds and leaving shoppers looking forward to next winter. Market Founder and Director Joan O’Connor expressed appreciation for her successful partnership with AutoServ of Tilton, which sponsored the market by providing space, marketing and logistical support. “AutoServ was so generous with its support of the market. It was a pleasure to work with such a great partner” said O’Connor. “The Gaudet family was instrumental in getting this market up and running quickly, and took care of details like parking, police and signs---even an electronic billboard. That let me focus on getting good vendors and making the market itself the best it could be.” According to O’Connor, more than 45 vendors participated in the market, offering vegetables, meats, dairy products, baked goods, prepared foods and more. Upwards of 1200 to 1600 shoppers streamed through the doors every Saturday in January, February and March. “The Lakes Region proved to be a perfect location for a winter market,” she said. “People were so happy to have winter access to delicious, high quality local food. We had live music, face painting and woodworking demos every week, too, so the atmosphere was very upbeat. Not only did people buy good food, but they usually stayed for a while and chatted with their neighbors.” With AutoServ likely to utilize the
space, formerly the home of the Hillside Meadow Agway, O’Connor is on the lookout for a new space for next year’s winter market. “A vacant retail space or vacant state- or municipally-owned building with plenty of on-site parking would be perfect,” said O’Connor. ‘’To handle the crowds, the market needs a location with at least 12,000 square feet and more than 100 parking spaces. And I’d love to partner again with a local business. This type of collaboration is just what our local economy needs.” Farmers markets in general are gaining popularity in New Hampshire and winter markets are on the rise, too. Area farms are utilizing season extension strategies like high tunnels (unheated greenhouses) for growing cold weather crops like spinach and salad greens, as well as increasing storage capacity for root crops, apples, winter squash and cabbage to meet the growing demands of the public for wholesome, year-round, local food. According to the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, based on 2007 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, New Hampshire ranked first in the nation in percentage of farms selling directly to consumers. The state’s vibrant farmers’ markets account for a good portion of those sales. Individuals with information about possible locations for a winter farmers’ market this winter should contact Joan O’Connor at 603.496.1718 or by email at joconnornh@yahoo.com. For more information on the 2011/2012 Tilton Winter Farmers’ Market, visit www.tiltonwinterfarmersmarket.com.

Cash prizes replace fishing gear in 30th Annual Winni Derby LACONIA — More than $50,000 in cash and prizes will be up for grabs in the 30th annual Winni Derby which will be held May 18-20 and is sponsored by the Lakes Region Inland Fishing Association and the Laconia Rotary Club. Diane Labrie, Derby Coordinator, has worked hard to make sure this year’s event is the best ever. “Many anglers have commented that they would love to see cash prizes instead of the usual fishing gear so we changed several of the top Salmon and Trout prizes to something everybody can use, Money!” Other improvements to this year’s event include a new weigh station in Alton Bay in addition to the usual Weirs location. The Alton location will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. both Friday and Saturday with the Weirs location open all three days, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday. ‘’More weigh stations means more convenient options for the fishermen and that means more time for them to stay on the big lake to catch the big
one,’’ says Labrie. Much work is also being done to improve the awards events which will be held at the Laconia Ice Arena starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 1 pm. on Sunday, There will be additional sponsors booths showcasing some of their wares. Plus, there will be lots of delicious food to enjoy, walking tacos (with all the fixings), chili, grinders, subs, lobster rolls, chips, soda and water will be part of this year’s fare. Plus Winni Derby Corporate Sponsor, Twisted Tea will also be present with samples of their products and beer andwine will also be available for sale “We want every participant to not only enjoy a great day on the lake but have fun at the evening events as well,’’ says Labrie.”We think that our vendors and many sponsors will make this year’s experience the best ever.’’ She says the changes will help make this year’s event a fitting tribute to Rick Davis, who was the founder and coordinator for the first 20 derbies see next page

Meredith Public Library is joining the program in May, and two other area libraries – Ashland Town Library and Moultonborough Public Library – plan to get started in June. “We’re excited to continue with the Meredith Village Savings Bank Book of the Month program, which allows us to expand upon our offerings of the very best books to our community,” said Katherine Dormody, director of the Gilford Public Library. “MVSB really understands how important books are, even in this age of new technology and social networking.” Each month, the books of the month will be displayed at each library and promoted in news articles on the MVSB homepage at www.mvsb.com.

He left the Derby in great shape and we can only hope to build on that success,’’ said Labrie, New this year according to NH Fish and Game rules is the requirement that all fish entered in the Derby must be dead. This rule was established to prevent culling and/or transferring of live fish. Anglers can also help the fish population by making sure we properly handle hooked fish. Here are a few tips: Single hook lures work well
and barbless hooks are even better, and we also recommend using a rubber landing net to protect the fish as the hooks won’t catch on the netting material. A pair of needle nose pliers or similar tool should be used to grip the hook while removing it from the fish. A water soaked towel or cotton glove to hold the fish while you remove the hook and release it aids the salmon’s health. The glove doesn’t take the slime off the fish and lessens the chance of infection. Taking an extra second or two to follow these suggestions will go a long way to help returning the fish to the water alive and healthy.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stand back, take a breath, and see your situation anew. Are you handing someone power that rightfully belongs to you? Your self-respect is a renewable resource. You may have given a little of it away, but you can get it back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A relationship is forming. You can’t quite frame it in your mind at this point, but ideas and feelings are coming together, and by the end of the week, you’ll have a clear picture of what you want to do next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have influence, but you won’t know about it unless you take action. Make a move. Suddenly, someone follows your lead, and then another, and another. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you say in a group will matter immensely. The compliments you give people in public will mean more than the ones you give privately. Singing a loved one’s praises publicly is a good way to build relationship points. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your goals are doable. What you want is very much in line with all that is possible for you. Still, you need to streamline your efforts. Cut out the fat. Make every attempt to be lean and mean in your approach. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 9). You have amazing powers of visualization. You’ll paint your ideal world in words and images and then take steps to make it real. You’ll network and put together a lucrative deal over the next seven weeks. A turn of events gives you an unexpected advantage in June. November brings a journey that’s good for your family. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 1 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life becomes more precious and beautiful to you when you’re around a certain someone. This is mainly because being around this person heightens your awareness and makes you slow down and tune in. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have the solution to your problem. This is hard to believe in the moments when you lack self-confidence or feel stuck or oppressed. Cultivate faith and optimism. It will help you move through the valleys and find answers. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At this point, life seems so uncertain that you don’t even want to set goals. Take a break. Relax and rejuvenate. Everything will feel more joyful when you do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In a sense, you are “shopping” for new alliances today. Whether what you need most is a friend, a business partner or a romance, be sure to choose the person, not the credentials. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have ideas, and now they are stringing themselves together in your head to formulate an improved vision of the future. You could be the one to open a new heaven for your loved ones. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wanting something to be finished will not make it so. You’re well aware of the steps involved, though making yourself go through them will be a challenge. Give yourself some incentive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The written word will be your most powerful form of communication. So wherever possible, put your ideas down in writing. People need to remember your words and attribute them to you. Write on!

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 9, 2012— Page 29
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My 25-year marriage is falling apart. My husband’s 40-year-old daughter, “Sally,” has been living with us for eight months. She occasionally buys a few groceries, but otherwise pays nothing. She does no work around the house. I’ve asked her to help clean the shared bathroom. She says she doesn’t think she should have to do any cleaning because she doesn’t mess anything up. She uses the bathtub more than we do and has all kinds of junk in there. She says her father also has stuff in there, so it’s my job to clean it. I refuse. Meanwhile, my husband says Sally is right. He agrees that she shouldn’t have to do any work around the house because she has a full-time job. (We are retired.) She also never cleans up after herself in the kitchen and doesn’t help with the dishes after eating the dinner I cook. This is causing major problems between my husband and me. He isn’t interested in counseling. What can I do about Sally? -- A Sad Marriage Dear Sad: If Sally has a full-time job, she should be paying rent. If she won’t pay rent, she should contribute to the household by helping with the housework, groceries and cooking on a regular basis. The fact that you are retired doesn’t make you her servant. Tell your husband HE can clean up after her. Your real problem is that your husband doesn’t back you up, and he puts Sally’s preferences above yours. The goal should be to get Sally out of your house as soon as possible. It is not healthy for any of you if she remains dependent on Daddy. Dear Annie: I am in an abusive marriage. There has been some physical abuse along with verbal, emotional and mental abuse. It has gone on for three years, and I think about leaving every day. I cry all the time.
I have tried to be a good wife, but nothing I do is good enough. I have talked to a couple of counselors, and they tell me I need to get out. I want to, but I don’t have any money (he has seen to that) and I have no place to go. I don’t have any family or friends close by to stay with. I’ve been in contact with the local women’s shelter a couple of times, but right now, they don’t have any available housing. How can I leave if I don’t have any money or a place to go? I just don’t know how much longer I can hang on. -- Crying Dear Crying: Please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233). The people there can help you figure out how to protect yourself and prepare to leave this relationship. In the meantime, don’t hide your situation. Let others know what is going on, including your family members and trustworthy friends. When you are able to leave, you will need their support. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Maybe It’s Not Just Hormones.” I was married for 22 years, and our sex life was strictly for my ex. It was hard to enjoy intimacy with someone who was constantly jealous and didn’t trust me -- and he had no reason to feel that way. He was the only man I’d ever been with. I have been divorced for 18 years and was done with men. But a friend suggested online dating sites, so I recently signed up and met a nice gentleman. I realized I needed to have sex with another man to see what genuine intimacy was like. Well, let me tell you, I am so satisfied I cannot describe it. He says I am an excellent lover. I am 60 years old and never thought I would enjoy sex. Now I know anything is possible. -- Enjoying Life
