School board to meet Landlords invited to bedbug seminar Monday morning to in Laconia on May 21; new law assigns talk about replacing responsibilities to both owners & tenants Bob Champlin BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The School Board has scheduled a nonpublic meeting on Monday, May 13, beginning at 7:30 a.m. at the SAU office on Harvard Street at which it will consider the vacancy in the position of Superintendent of Schools following Bob Champlin’s decision to step Bob Champlin down from the post (Courtesy photo) at the close of the school year. The board is expected to make an announcement following the meeting. A letter from Champlin explaining his decision was read at the regularly scheduled board meeting on Tuesday night. After adjourning the meeting the board met in non-public session to discuss personnel matters, but took no action. — Michael Kitch
LACONIA — Shawn Riley took his first bed bug call about four years ago, shortly after coming to the city as deputy fire chief and health officer. Since then, he estimates, he’s fielded more than 150 calls, some weeks one every day, about the nocturnal pests. It’s a problem that is on the rise, he said. “It’s definitely trending upwards,” Riley said of the spread of the parasites. Over the years, Riley has become something of a bed bug expert, giving several presentations at emergency medical service conferences and classes. “I’ve been all over the place speaking about these guys.”

PHOENIX (AP) — Jodi Arias spent 18 days on the stand sharing intimate, emotional and oftentimes X-rated details of her life before a rapt television and online audience. She had hoped it all might convince a jury that she killed her one-time boyfriend in self-defense. But the eight men and four women on the panel didn’t buy it, convicting Arias of first-degree murder after only about 15 hours of deliberations. Jurors will return to court Thursday to begin the next phase of the trial that could set the stage for Arias receiving a death sentence — a penalty she, herself, said she now desires in a stunning interview following her conviction. Minutes after being convicted, Arias said she was overwhelmed and surprised because she didn’t believe she committed first-degree murder. “It was unexpected for me, yes, because there was no premeditation on my part,” she told Fox affiliate KSAZ in the courthouse.

Cleveland man formally charged with kidnapping & rape CLEVELAND (AP) — A man suspected of keeping three women captive inside his decrepit house for a decade was charged Wednesday with kidnapping and rape, accused of holding them under conditions so oppressive they were allowed outside for only a few moments in disguise and never saw a chance to escape until this week. Investigators said the women apparently were bound with ropes and chains, and a city councilman briefed on the case said they were subjected to prolonged
sexual and psychological abuse and suffered miscarriages. Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, was charged with four counts of kidnapping — covering the captives and the daughter born to one of them — and three counts of rape, against all three women. The women, now in their 20s and 30s, vanished separately between 2002 and 2004. At the time, they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. Prosecutors brought no charges against
Castro’s two brothers, who were arrested along with him on Monday, saying there was no evidence they had any part in the crime. Castro owns the run-down home where the women were rescued on Monday after one of them, Amanda Berry, broke through a screen door to freedom while he was away. The discovery electrified Cleveland, where many people had come to believe the missing young women were dead. Police Deputy Chief Ed Tomba said it see 3 WOMEN page 12
BOSTON (AP) — Nineteen days after Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following a gunbattle with police, cemeteries still refused to take his remains and government officials deflected questions about where he could be buried. On Wednesday, police in Worcester, west of Boston, pleaded for a resolution, saying they were spending tens of thousands of dollars to protect the funeral home where his body is being kept amid protests.
“We are not barbarians,” police Chief Gary Gemme said. “We bury the dead.” Tsarnaev was fatally wounded in Watertown, just outside Boston, after police confronted him in a stolen car. He was shot several times by police, then was run over with the car by his fleeing brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, his accomplice in the deadly April 15 bombing, authorities have said. The bombing, involving pressure cookers packed with explosives and shrapnel near
the marathon’s finish line, killed three people and injured about 260 others. Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body was released by the state medical examiner May 1 and has been in limbo since. Tsarnaev’s widow had wanted his body turned over to his side of the family, which claimed it. An expert in U.S. burial law said the resistance to Tsarnaev’s burial is unprecedented in a country that has always found see BURIAL page 9

GILFORD — A local woman who went for her daily walk yesterday morning became disoriented and was lost for a few hours. Deputy Fire Chief Rick Andrews said the woman, who is in her early 80s, walks about one to two miles daily but apparently took a wrong turn yesterday and ended up on an old logging road. He said she walks with her dog and the dog returned alone to the house. Andrews said she has a part-time medical assistant who called police when she realized the woman had yet to return from her walk. He said police, including K-9 Agbar, and fire officials
on foot and using all-terrain vehicles searched for the woman who was found around noon walking along Route 11A near the First United Methodist Church by members of the N.H. Department of Fish and Game who had come to Gilford to join in the search. Police said the search lasted about 90 minutes. Andrews said the spot where she was found and where she entered the woods are about a mile apart. Andrews said the woman was walking along the road and was unharmed. He said she was evaluated by a Gilford emergency response crew and driven home by the Fish and Game officer.
Woman who jumped from downtown bridge released from hospital LACONIA — The Belmont woman who jumped from the footbridge behind City Hall Tuesday night was treated and released from Lakes Region General Hospital early Wednesday morning. Police said Melanie Sweeney, 37, of Belmont was released at 1:20 a.m. and taken to the Belknap County House of Corrections for protective custody.
Sweeney’s life was saved Tuesday evening by a fisherman who saw her jump from the bridge into the cold Winnipesaukee River. He was able to go into the water and pull her to safety. Firefighters took her to LRGH after initial treatment in the basement of a nearby business.
MARRIAGE from page 2 a vote in the state House that Democratic leaders assured would pass. With the state Senate expected to follow suit, Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton could sign a bill as early as next week. “We like to lead the way in Minnesota,” said state Rep. Karen Clark, the Minneapolis Democrat sponsoring the bill. In the past week, Rhode Island and Delaware became the 10th and 11th states to approve gay marriage. But so far, only legislatures in coastal or New England states have voted affirmatively for gay marriage. Except for Iowa, which allows gay marriage due to a 2009 judicial ruling, same-sex couples can’t get married in flyover country. Minnesota might go first, but Illinois could be close behind. The state Senate there voted in Feb-
ruary to allow same-sex marriage, and supporters think they’re close to securing the votes needed to get it through the House and on to Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who says he’ll sign it. Although a few Republican politicians around the country have started to embrace gay marriage, the movement remains largely contained to states with Democrats fully in control. In the Midwest, only Illinois and Minnesota have Democratic-led statehouses. Democrats run the Nevada and New Mexico legislatures, but Republicans are governor in those states. Democrats also control Colorado, but that state could only go as far as civil unions because of a constitutional amendment that blocks gay marriage. The same curb applies in Oregon, but a group has launched a drive to repeal the earlier ballot initiative.

Hearing produces opposition to raising trash tipping fee; decision delayed By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Selectmen tabled action of a measure that would raise the town’s municipal dumping rates at the Laconia Transfer Station from $30 per ton to $90 per ton after a public hearing where all who addressed the board spoke against the idea. Selectman Gus Benavides made a motion not to accept the rate structure increases but Selectmen John O’Brien and Chair Kevin Hayes voted against dismissing the rate increase out of hand. They both said they would like more information. The solid waste rate disposal increase would mirror that of Laconia as of July 1 and was proposed so that the town’s taxpayers were not subsidizing private trash removal. The town does not offer curbside trash removal as a municipal service. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said it costs the town about $90 per ton to dispose of its solid waste collected within its borders and estimated the tax rate would drop by seven cents per $1,000 assessed value for the balance of this year and by $.14 cents next year and in successive years should the town stop subsidizing solid waste disposal. In 2012 the total cost of solid waste disposal in Gilford was $413,000 but only $124,000 of that sum was paid for by haulers, paying at the $30 per ton rate. The rest came out of the Gilford treasury. Resident and business owner Doug Lambert said garbage disposal was one of the basic roles of municipal government like public safety and roads. He described it as a task that needs to be handled by society.
“The proposal will effect everyone in town,” he said, noting that since there is no curbside pickup the town’s residents will end up paying more individually than they would collectively. He also said he feared the increase in the town rate was a “scheme” to put the burden for trash disposal onto the individual but spend the money elsewhere. He agreed to back off the word “scheme” when Benavides objected, telling him there was no “scheme” or “back-room” ploy to reduces the annual costs to taxpayers by $100,000 for the balance of 2013 and spend it in another place. “It’s a good point that if we take $100,000 out we must be aware that it doesn’t get put in anywhere else,” Benavides said. Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro, who owned a garbage company in Rhode Island, explained that most garbage haulers don’t like “subscriber-based” trash pickup because it’s a lot of paperwork. He said it was very difficult teaching drivers the routes and said they have to continually check and update lists to make sure a subscriber is on the route and not in arrears in their bill. He said it’s easier for the haulers to negotiate and collect one bill from a town rather that $1,500 smaller bills and the additional costs would be passed on by the haulers. David “Skip” Murphy noted that price of garbage collection is inelastic — meaning that the people will pay for it regardless of the costs or, in this case, resort to disposing of their trash illegally by dumping on the side of some road or using someone else’s dumpster.
“What about people who can’t afford it?” he asked. “There are some poorer people in town.” “I don’t think you’re going to save as much as you think you are,” Murphy said. When Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan said there was the possibility the individual could pay more for trash disposal than what they pay in taxes now, the board decided to delay any further action until Dunn could get some figures on how much it could cost. In other Gilford news, Fire Chief Steve Carrier said Engine 4 was back in service and responding as needed to incidents. When asked by O’Brien what the “real cost” of repairing it, Carrier said it was $76,500 and he expects it to stay in service for another five years. He also said the department’s preventative maintenance program is continues to improve and each front-line vehicle gets checks daily and the other vehicles are checked on a set weekly schedule. He said deficiencies are noted immediately and the Department of Public Works is contacted. Carrier also said the department is flow testing all the dry-hydrants and has identified three water supply priorities — Alpine Ridge that should be dredged, Alvah Wilson Road, which is ready to go to bid, and a new hydrant on Watson Road to replace the cistern that has a crack and has never worked.

Bangladesh & us You know a corner’s been turned when someone in a legion of foreign sweatshop workers is given a face. That’s happened in Bangladesh, home of hideous factory conditions — as seen in the ruins of Rana Plaza, a former eight-story work warren. Death toll: over 600. And the face has been given a name, Shaheena. Deemed unworthy at birth of a last name, Shaheena became a national symbol of endurance. The world watched as her body, trapped but alive for several days, finally gave out in the smoke set off by rescuers trying to free her. Sensitive Americans now reconsidering their purchase of an $8 made-in-Bangladesh T-shirt should think carefully. They should first hear Shaheena’s story. Age 38 and sole provider for her son, Shaheena moved in with her sister’s family. She needed $25 for her share of the advance on rent in a new, cheaper apartment — no easy feat for one making $100 a month toiling till midnight. So she worked all the time in dismal surroundings. She worked past warnings that the factory building had developed dangerous cracks. A brutal life, it sounds to us. But this factory job gave Shaheena the wherewithal to leave an allegedly abusive husband while pregnant. And as awful as the pay and working conditions seem to outsiders, these jobs were a step up for the many women whose only other option was rural destitution — all day outside, scratching the soil for even less money. In this poor, mostly Muslim country, women factory workers have become labor leaders. Theirs are the first female voices being raised. Bangladesh is home to 3.5 million garment workers, most of them women. Other Asian countries started off as sweatshop nations, then moved onward and upward. Taiwan, South Korea and China are examples. Their low-wage advantage fueled their economic growth, eventually empowering the workers themselves. Today, the millions of Chinese emerging from poverty tend to live in the manufacturing coastal cities.
The rural interior remains dirt poor. Rising wages in China are now prompting some manufacturers to leave for cheaper places, such as Indonesia, Vietnam and Bangladesh. If Bangladesh follows this pattern, its workers’ status will rise. But what might consumers do in the meantime? Should we be buying preppie polos and Western jeans — sold at Wal-Mart, Sears, H&M and Gap, among other retailers — made under these horrible circumstances? After all, we’d be helping a government that has neglected to enforce the most basic labor and safety laws — laws already on its books. This government has ignored harassment, even murder, of workers trying to unionize. Factory owner families apparently control 10 percent of the seats in Bangladesh’s parliament. But if we don’t buy products from Bangladesh, we send workers like Shaheena No-Last-Name back to non-personhood. Change must come at the hands of Bangladeshis, and a series of workplace tragedies already has them in the streets. When arrested, Rana Plaza’s owner needed a human shield of guards and a police helmet. Otherwise, angry crowds might have torn him apart. A Bangladeshi court has seized his money. Still, it’s not without qualms that one goes through the stores, seeing fashion carefully marketed to avoid the place of manufacture. You see labels saying “styled in France” or “fabric from Italy.” Or you see local logos and Americana prints. I spotted a retro apron, with a down-home print and made-in-China label. It was being sold in, of all places, Whole Foods. But this sort of trade is what moves countries and their people out of economic misery. In the end, it creates better lives for them and new consumers for us. No one said progress was pretty. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
Big thank you to these professionals, who make sure a difference To the editor, On Friday, May 3, the Belmont Fire Department arrived at our home and office on Gilmanton Road to fight a fire in the woods that we were not even aware of. It was spotted by the Belknap Fire Towers, reported to the Fire Department, and responded to immediately. We wish to publicly thank our fire department. We are very fortunate to have, in the Town of Belmont, highly professional firefighters who are also caring individuals. Were it not for their quick response, the fire could have been much worse. We have no idea how the fire started, but we urge
anyone using the woods during this dry season to be careful when discarding cigarettes or any other flammable material. We also wish to commend the people who operate the fire spotting towers in our area. They are responsible for discovering and relaying the location of the fire to our responders. A big thank you to these professionals who make such a difference in our lives when they are needed. Please support your local and county firefighters.

LETTERS The SB-2 deliberative session is not at all like town meeting To the editor, Over the last week I have had the opportunity to speak with several residents who supported SB-2. After a brief, open and honest discussion of the pros and cons of both Town Meeting and SB-2 also known as RSA 40:13, I was horrified to discover how misinformed these people were on the matters of SB-2. I was told they were voting for SB-2 because they WANTED to keep Town Meeting! They understood the “deliberative session” in the SB-2 process to be the same thing as Town Meeting. There is nothing further from the truth! SB-2’s deliberative session is more like our current budget hearing, where we can expect between 35 – 50 people (the current year’s attendance in surrounding SB-2 towns) to listen to the presentation of the Budget Committee and selectmen for the budget and warrant articles. Then at this meeting by majority vote of those in attendance everything is subject to change. Any article/warrant can and will change by the vote of those few people, even fewer than at Town Meeting. This will be the undoing of the 10+ months of work by those elected
officials. A month following this deliberative session the voting of all issues and elected officials will happen in the voting booth, with “no opportunity” to ask questions regarding the meaning of any item. Please make sure you understand for yourself the consequences of your vote. Make sure you get the facts! Don’t vote for it because someone tells you the “deliberative session” is Town Meeting or is like Town Meeting, because IT IS NOT! It may be time for us as a town to look at the options available to us in regards to governing; SB-2 is not the only alternative. It would make better sense to study all the options, as they did in Hillsboro, see what would be best for Sanbornton, and not just replace what we have with something broken. (One local town’s default SB-2 budget was larger than the proposed current year budget. How do taxes decrease that way!) Please do your homework and Vote NO to article 1, regarding SB-2, RSA 40:13. At Town Meeting ask for a study committee to review all the options. Selectman Karen Ober Sanbornton.
Most gun crimes committed in cities Dems have long controlled To the editor, Saturday’s letters included another misinformation piece by James’s Veverka, this time concerning my supposed objection to background checks on firearms purchases. For the record I am not against background checks. I am against background checks run by the the liberal, anti-gun left, who’s objective is to gut our 2nd Amendment and confiscate and outlaw the private citizens’ rights. James gives a clutter of statistics of which I will not endeavor to challenge because they are insignificant to the point. The point is that we need to address the cause of the problem, criminals and crazies. It is our liberal leaders who are blocking any sound, sane, constitutionally-legal approach to the problem. They are playing politics and hiding behind their accustomed politically correct shields. These liberals refuse to even consider any ideas such as armed security guards in our schools to protect our children. They refuse to consider making mental health records avail-
able to the instant check system siting privacy concerns. No, they choose to continue to attack our law abiding gun owners and our Constitution. So James, check your own house before you throw more stones. It’s a fact that most gun crimes are committed in cites like Chicago, Detroit, L.A., New Orleans and so on. The common factor is these are cities and states where liberal Democrats have had decades of control with among the strongest gun control laws in the nation. Yet James supports these political leaders and their policy’s in blind obedience regardless of the decades of failure, suffering and injustice they create. Criminals, by the way, do not get their guns at gun shows or gun stores, they steal them or get them from family members. Only about 1.5 percent come from legal purchases. Regarding the supposed gun running from outside states without checks, it’s at best all guess work, as see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 9, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS It would be an honor to again serve as your Sanbonrton selectman
Form Base Code would come at expense of private property rights
To the editor, My name is Patsy Wells and I’m running for selectman in Sanbornton. I had the privilege of serving my community as selectman from 2004-2007. While those were turbulent times for Sanbornton, we accomplished a lot. By working together — by always trying to work for the greater good — we began improving our roads, taking care of our town buildings, increasing the efficiency of our town departments, and planning carefully for the future. There is still work to be done on all of those fronts and the economic times makes even more of a challenge. There are three growing concerns for me. The first is to create the walking path from the Sanbornton Central School parking lot to the library. We need to get the children off the roadway — that is how they have been getting to the library for years, walking in the road. This is critical for their safety, especially in light of the recent tragedy in Laconia. Almost seven years ago we bought the land behind the three historic buildings to create this walking path and to protect the horizon view, not to put a new town office building in the field between them. If we pass the warrant article during Town Meeting on May 15th, we are going to begin planning
To the editor, Laconia Planning Director Shanna Saunders calls the $50,000 grant for the “storytelling” development “our storytelling grant” — A grant awarded to the city by the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority to fund the development of architectural standards for downtown and The Weirs. The stakeholders are the Ironwood Design Group,LLC of Exeter and Sheer McCrystal Paison Architecture Inc. of New London. FBC, meaning Form Base Code, is a departure from conventional zoning. FBC zoning defines a one block parcel and is a method to REGULATE the development of buildings, floor areas, car free movement, garden city, new urbanism, settlement growth, smart growth, and transition towns. At a minimum, a form base code, written to enable or preserve a specific urban form, consists of a building form, and public spaces, standards keyed to a REGULATORY plan. An urban design is the intention or goal; the form base code is the regulatory tool to achieve it. FBS is a tool to provide local government the regulatory means to achieve development objectives with greater certainty, bypassing local ZBA authority and the board of selectman and elected officials. Ironwood Design Group is all about landscape architecture, urban design, and environmental plans for someone else’s property. This group is affiliated with Plan NH — Granite State Future. Stakeholders like this company profit by using this FBC, whose focus is primarily on regulating (the word of worry) urban form and less on land use. This will infringe on our personal property rights and is unconstitutional, as stated in Art. 2 — Natural Rights, in the N.H. Bill of Rights! Regulate, my worry word means, “to control or direct by a rule, principle,or method, to adjust in accordance with some standard or requirement.” Form-based-codes include: architectural standards — these are regulations controlling external architectural materials and quality; landscaping standards — regulations controlling landscape design, and plant materials on private property as they impact public spaces; regulations about parking lot screening and shading, maintaining sight lines, ensuring unobstructed pedestrian movements; signage standards — regulations controlling allowable signage
for a new town office building in the far future — a good move. But, we need to do that keeping the preservation of our historic buildings in mind. The third concern for me is increasing communication between the selectmen, the various town committees and the public. We are all concerned about our growing tax rate. It seems like new “for sale” signs go up every week in our community as people struggle to provide for their families. Even though the town portion of our property tax bill is relatively small, we need to work with the school district, the county and the state, which make up the other portions of our tax bill, to reduce the amounts. We have a unique and beautiful community with a strong diversity of ideas and opinions, but the one thing I think we all have in common is a desire to protect, preserve, and strengthen our town for future generations. We can do it. We can work together to meet the needs of our fellow community members today and in the future. It would be an honor to serve you once again as your selectman. Please consider giving me your support on Election Day, Tuesday, May 14th. Patsy Wells Sanbornton
Bob Champlin is consummate model of a great school superintendent To the editor, I went on line Wednesday morning as usual at 7 a.m. to check the morning Daily Sun and was stunned to read of Superintendent Bob Champlin’s retirement due to health reasons. I was thinking of writing a letter to the editor later on my feelings. I then went to my e-mail box and what is there but a personal note to me from Bob Champlin, notifying me of his resignation and thanking me for what help and support I had given to him over the years. What a guy! Never leaves anything undone or unsaid. Over the years, while I have often opposed certain school expenditures, my admiration and fondness for him personally never wavered. When I was new to the council he reached out, as he always does, and provided information and personal tours through the schools and during construction
of middle school and showing me the improvements in the high school. The thing that I noticed most was the outpouring of love and respect that the students had for him. They would come up to him while we were touring and say hi or get a hug and he knew each and every one of them by name and returned the affection in kind. That speaks volumes. Someone else-no MANY elses will detail all the accomplishments of this man, but I will truly miss his smiling, enthusiastic and energetic leadership .He is the consummate model of a GREAT school superintendent, and many who follow will try to match it, but they will not quite make it. Love and good wishes for another challenge Bob. Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 - Laconia
We call him ‘Super Bob’ for a reason & Got Lunch! will miss him To the editor, I read with sadness the article in Wednesday’s Daily Sun about the need for Bob Champlin to retire from his SAU Superintendent job for health reasons. Bob has been making a major impact in Laconia for years now, and his brand of leadership will be sorely missed. When a few of us wanted to develop a program that would feed hungry kids during the summer months, he was our loudest
cheerleader, our biggest fan. His support and encouragement helped make Got Lunch! Laconia what it is today. We call him “Super Bob” for a reason, and each of us will miss his presence, his leadership, and his cheers. We love you Big Guy, good luck with your battle, we will all remember you in our prayers. John Walker & Advisory Board Got Lunch! Laconia
from preceding page no hard reliable numbers are available. And remember the biggest gun running scandal since Iran Contra has been Fast and Furious run by Eric Holder. Our liberal Attorney General has also declined to prosecute all but 44 attempted illegal purchases caught
by the instant check system. No James, you and your liberal friends need to start trying to take care of our at risk children rather then taking advantage of them after it’s to late. Steve Earle Hill
sizes, materials, illumination and placement; environmental resource standards — regulations controlling issues such as storm water drainage and infiltration,development on slopes, tree protection and solar access; annotation — text and illustrations explaining the intentions of specific code provisions. Once you lose development rights, you have essentially lost control of your property, no matter what the people or the local government proclaim. Only you are responsible for the property taxes, and your land use is regulated! Development rights to one’s property are infringed by obeying shifting regulations and enhanced “best practices mandated by the new development rights’ holder. Please research form base code and refuse this grab by people who are out to make money and could care less about the individual. I love the Weirs and its antiquity and style, do not change the view or be regulated into this ruse to control your individual rights and behavior! The city of Dover and town of Strafford, have FBS and are unhappy with the regulations! They were duped by conversations with only the input of a minority of people, and without a majority of the voting public. Beware of these “listening sessions employed by Plan NH and NH Listens, using the Delphi Technique to obtain an already written agenda, while giving the public the illusion that they created the issues! Does the Planning Director know about this devious and unethical method of stealing the residents right to regulate their own property? The residents of Laconia need to ask and obtain the knowledge about FBC and go to the Granite State Futures web site and learn about how the Lakes Region Planning Commission is involved in our everyday behaviors, and is planning to change us and our liberties as property owners and citizens. Another point of interest is that the nine regional planning commissions are unelected people, who are trying to change our great state of N.H. We also need to be aware of grants associated with the HUD-1044 grant instrument, and the strings attached, and any other grant that gives the illusion of “storytelling”. Research the Orton Family Foundation. Rosemary Landry Meredith
Replace one set-time meeting with another, more poorly attended? To the editor, I sort of apologize to my friend and neighbor, Bill Whalen, as I try to counter him on SB-2. Why does he think someone who can’t attend Town Meeting (illness, work, vacation, business travel can — amazingly! - attend SB-2’s deliberative session, a meeting at which the Budget Committee and selectmen explain their work on the upcoming costs for another year of town viability? One set-time meeting will be replaced by a lower-attendance other set-time meeting, and that would make things better? And what if SB-2’s deliberative session/meeting, like Town Meeting, should last four
or more hours? How could Bill get rid of a meeting’s taking time? Much as I love the guy for other traits, he’s a big-city magician come among us, if presto-chango he can make a serious meeting take no time. For 12 years Sanbornton has held off adopting SB-2, thus protecting Town Meeting. Seems we can never put away the NO SB-2 signs and should continue to keep in the paint and sign-board supply. Alas. Sanbornton, please come out to vote at Town Hall on May 14, and vote NO on question #1. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

ARIAS from page 2 added she would “prefer to die sooner than later,” rather than spending the rest of her life in prison. The case elevated the unknown waitress and aspiring photographer to a household name, with a real-life story of love, betrayal and murder far more alluring than any made-forTV movie. The crime itself was enough to grab headlines: Arias, a 32-year-old high school dropout, shot Travis Alexander in the forehead, stabbed him nearly 30 times and slit his throat from ear to ear, leaving the motivational speaker and businessman nearly decapitated. She claimed he attacked her and she fought for her life. Prosecutors said she killed out of jealous rage after Alexander wanted to end their affair and planned to take a trip to Mexico with another woman. Arias’ four-month trial quickly became a media sensation — ratings gold for cable networks that could broadcast from inside the courtroom and feed an insatiable public appetite for true-crime drama delivered live and up-close. It was, for many, the horrible train wreck they just couldn’t turn away from, even though they know they should. Arias fought back tears as the verdict was announced Wednesday in the hushed, packed courtroom, while Alexander’s family members wept and hugged each other. They wore blue ribbons and wristbands with the words “Justice For Travis.” The family thanked prosecutor Juan Martinez and a key witness and said it appreciated the outpouring of support from the public. Outside, a huge crowd that had gathered on the courthouse steps screamed, whistled and cheered the news in a case that has attracted fans from across the country who traveled to Phoenix to be close to the proceedings. Some chanted, “USA, USA, USA!” Alexander’s friend Chris Hughes said he was happy with the verdict, pointing out a bold proclamation that Arias made in one of her jailhouse interviews that she wouldn’t be found guilty.

City’s plan for investigating abandoned dump approved by state agency By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) has approved the city’s plan to further investigate the extent and degree of contamination at the site of an abandoned burn dump and landfill off Frank Bean Road and Morin Road in anticipation of taking measures to address any risks it may pose to the natural environment or human health. Sovereign Consulting Inc. of Concord submitted the plan in July 2012, anticipating a response within six to eight weeks. Instead, DES replied in March 2013, stretching the time lines of the plan by at least five or six months. City Manager Scott Myers said the cost of implementing is approximately $70,000, which will be drawn from a reserve fund established to address environmental issues. The site sprawls over nine properties totaling some 75 acres on either side of Frank Bean Road. The burn dump extends over most of four parcels — two residential and two commercial lots — totaling about 3.5 acres, three abutting one another on the west side of Frank Bean Road and the fourth bordered by Frank Bean Road to the west and Morin Road to the east. The dump was operated by the city on privately owned land until 1954 when it was bulldozed flat and covered with gravel. Later the landowner subdivided the property and sold the four lots.The Morin Road landfill, which ceased operation in the early 1960s, comprises some 50 acres divided between two parcels, both owned by the city, and stretches across the town line into Gilford. The work plan prepared by Sovereign Consulting calls for Hager-Richter GeoScience Inc. of Salem, N.H. to do a geophysical survey of the site. The
survey aims to determine the depth and extent of residue from the burning operation. The survey, which is expected to be completed in three days, will require the cooperation of the property owners and the suspension of vehicle traffic. Next GeoSearch Environmental Contractors of Fitchburg, Mass., will begin sinking 15 borings and 12 monitoring wells to depths of 20 feet on the four burn dump parcels to collect data on the character and extent of contamination. Sovereign had expected to present its report on the burn dump this spring and submit proposals for addressing the contamination sometime next spring. Likewise, an assessment of the Morin Road Landfill was originally scheduled to be completed by this spring summer and remedial actions proposed by the summer and completed in the fall. Similar sites have been secured with a durable cap and measures may be required to monitor the quality groundwater and restore it to state standards. Meanwhile, DES has assured the owners of the two residential properties, both of which draw their
drinking water from dug wells, that tests confirmed that the quality of their water met the standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The work plan, which addresses shortcomings DES found in the city’s initial submission, is the most recent step in a process that began in 2004 when the entire site was listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLIS), a data base maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An initial inspection of the site was completed by the EPA in December 2009, after which DES asked the city to undertake a complete investigation and propose remedial action. On behalf of the city, Terracon Consultants Inc. of Manchester screened the site and submitted a report to DES in August 2011. Although the study delineated the extent of waste across the site, DES found that the data it provided insufficient to characterize the risks on the site and requested the city to conduct a more thorough investigation.
BURIAL from page one a way to put to rest its notorious killers, from Lee Harvey Oswald to Adam Lanza, who gunned down 20 children and six educators at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school last year. “It’s very unusual that people are so fixated on this,” said Tanya Marsh, a Wake University professor. “There are a lot of evil people buried in marked graves in the United States. Traditionally, in the United States, ... when somebody dies, that’s the end of their punishment.” A deal had been struck Monday to bury the remains of Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old ethnic Chechen from southern Russia, at a state prison site, but it
dissolved after state officials stopped cooperating Tuesday, Gemme said. The state Department of Correction said Wednesday it did not offer a burial site and its burial facilities have been reserved for inmates who die in state custody, but Gemme stood by his earlier statement. Gov. Deval Patrick said Wednesday night Tsarnaev’s burial is an issue for his family. “It’s overwhelming that facility and that community and to some extent even the police chief’s resources, but that doesn’t turn it into something other than a family matter,” Patrick said. “It is still a family matter, and this family has some decisions they’ve got to make and they need to make them soon.”

BEDBUGS from page one to good-night wishes for a couple of generations, Riley’s research has taught him that the parasites have been pestering humans since cave-dwelling days. When homo sapiens walked out of the cave, they brought their unwanted house guests with them. For much of human history, humans were as likely to be bitten by bed bugs as they were to be subjected to mosquito bites. “We had a holiday from it,” said Riley, a break provided by the now-notorious pesticide DDT, which is remarkably effective on nuisance insects but proved equally devastating on bird populations. Since the cessation of DDT use, bed bugs have been on the rebound, aided by international travel and the transfer of used furniture and mattresses. Riley has seen countless infestations in Laconia, in both single-family homes, apartment buildings and group homes. No reports of the bed bugs in city hotels, though, he emphasized. Bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases to humans. However sharing one’s bedroom with the parasites can be a cause for distress. Someone living in a severe infestation could be bitten as much as 500 times in a night, said Riley. The bug, most active in the early morning hours, will crawl out of its hiding place and make its way to a sleeping mammal. Once the bug has found a good place to take a long drink of blood, it will inject an anaesthetic, to keep the host from feeling the bite, and an anti-coagulent to prevent the blood from clotting. A bed bug can drink as much as three times its weight in a single meal, and although adults prefer to feed every few days,
an adult bed bug can survive for up to a year without feeding. What happens the next day depends on the specific host. Some people react strongly to the bites, with red, itchy welts of various sizes. Others, as much as a third of the population, said Riley, won’t have any reaction. In one Laconia case, he said, an adult that shared a bed with a child couldn’t understand why the bugs weren’t biting her but her granddaughter woke up every morning covered in bites. Riley told her that they both were feeding the bugs, but that only the child was experiencing a reaction. Without the use of DDT, eliminating bed bugs from a building can be a difficult and expensive affair. Pest service companies can kill the bugs by heating the building to a sustained 160 degrees, which has proven effective. What’s not effective, insists Riley, is any over-the-counter remedy. “Bug Bombs” or other chemical treatments available to non-licensed consumers are ineffective against bugs and dangerous to humans. In multi-family buildings, he said, the chemicals will only serve to irritate the bugs, driving them from one unit to the next, only to return once the chemical has dissipated. “I’ve seen this time and time again,” said Riley. “They only make the problem worse.” If bed bugs are present in a residence, Riley said humans can avoid becoming a sleeping buffet by “making their bed an island” – move it away from the wall or other furniture, use a bed bug resistant mattress cover, and place bed bug intercepting trays beneath all four feet of the bed. Though deft hiders, bed bugs are poor climbers and cannot jump or fly.
Celebrate
Sheri Minor is on the board of the Lakes Region Rental Association, the organization that is co-sponsoring the seminar on May 21. She wanted to put on the event in light of both the bed bug problem, which she acknowledged seems to be growing, and because of the state legislation, which is awaiting the Governor’s signature and January 1, 2014, before it comes into effect. About the proliferation of bed bugs, Minor said, “I think it’s getting a little worse. A lot of people don’t want to acknowledge it, also.” It’s a difficult problem to deal with, though she added, ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. Next year, once the new law comes into effect, landlords will have a specific legal obligation to attend to the problem, though they’ll be able to seek compensation from tenants if it can be proved that they brought the infestation into the building. “I don’t want to have to deal with it, and I don’t want my tenants to be bitten by bed bugs,” said Minor, who urged anyone in the rental business to attend the seminar. “Take some information from it, it will benefit. Everyone will come out of it knowing something.”

SANBORNTON from page one wants to see the total completion of the “Y” or Lower Bay Road project, which will go into its “punch list” or finishing details phase after a meeting scheduled for Friday. Nickerson said he is retired and “has the time to put into being a selectman.” “I also like giving back,” Nickerson said. Accomplishments that he said occurred during his six years are the near completion of the “Y” Project including the extension of the project to Steele Hill Road, the completion of the new highway garage, the Blackbrook Road and Maple Circle road and storm water runoff projects and the purchase of a new firetruck and ambulance. He said the town was able to do many of the above projects largely with federal money and keep the amount to be raised by local taxes consistently around $3.2 million annually. “Our budgets have been conservation,” he said, noting that many taxpayers are struggling in this economy and his role is to keep the tax rate in the future as low as possible. Wells, who is the town moderator — she assumed the role when former Moderator Liz Merry moved and was elected to complete the two-year term last year — is like-minded in her concerns about the tax rate and the tax burden on Sanbornton’s residents. One of her primary upcoming concerns is the use of the former Bodwell land behind the Sanbornton Town Library and Old Town Hall. “When we bought the land it was to protect it,” she said adding that in the seven years since the purchase there is still no walkway for the Sanbornton Central School students. “We have to get our children off of the road,” she said. She said the vision for the property was for a town park with the relocation of the towns war memorials and the aforementioned walking path. She also said she has heard some talk about building a new town office building between two of the existing buildings. “Those are the most photographed buildings in the area,” she said noting the library, the church and the town hall represent the three pillars of what Sanbornton represents — learning, church and government. She also said she doesn’t want to see the money currently spent on retiring bonds get rolled over into the general fund. “These monies should go back to the taxpayer,” she said. Wells also said she was familiar with the “Y” project as she sat on the Board of Selectmen when the project was first conceived. As to reducing the overall tax burden, Wells said she would want to work closely with the Winnisquam Regional School District, Belknap County and the state to keep the tax burden as low as possible. The town election is Tuesday, May 14 and polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Old Town Hall. Annual Town Meeting is Wednesday beginning at 7 p.m. at the Sanbornton Central School. 3 WOMEN from page one was the only opportunity they ever had to escape. “Something must have clicked, and she saw an opportunity and she took that opportunity,” he said. Tomba said the women could remember being outside only twice during their time in captivity. “We were told they left the house and went into the garage in disguise,” he said. The women were not kept in the same room but knew about one another, he said. He also said a paternity test on Castro was being done to establish who fathered Berry’s 6-year-old daughter. At a news conference, authorities would not discuss the circumstances of the women’s kidnappings or give further details about their ordeals. But City Councilman Brian Cummins said: “We know that the victims have confirmed miscarriages, but with who, how many and what conditions we don’t know.” “It sounds pretty gruesome,” he added. Castro was in custody Wednesday and couldn’t be reached for comment. A brother-in-law has said the family was shocked after hearing about the women at the home. see next page
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 9, 2013 — Page 13
Belmont selectmen will likely attend ‘meet & greet’ hosted by Sanbornton By Michael Kitch BELMONT — The chair of the Belmont Board of Selectmen expressed an interest in meeting with the Sanbornton Board of Selectmen on May 29 to discuss issues of relevance to both of them. Also invited to the “meet-and-greet” are representatives of the TiltonNorthfield Fire District and the Tilton Board of Selectmen. “The hope is to find mutual areas of concern and cooperation between the neighboring communities, wrote Sanbornton Town Administrator Bob Veloski to the administrators of the communities involved. Selectman Dave Nickerson said it was the desire of the Sanbornton selectmen to host a “meet and greet” so members of the individual boards could get to know each other better. As for Belmont, he said there is apparently some “bad blood” regarding the former Winnisquam Fire Station and the possibility of some miscommunication between the two boards. At Belmont’s meeting last night, Selectmen Chairman Ron Cormier and Selectman Jon Pike both said they were curious to hear about the “many areas of mutual concern.” Belmont selectmen have said repeatedly they are done talking about the former Winnisquam Fire Station, which is now partly used for storage and partly used for the town’s Department of Recreation.
The topic was rekindled during Belmont’s budget process when the Fire Department asked for a replacement platform fire boat and selectmen sent letters of inquiry to agencies with shore front on Lake Winnisquam — including Laconia and Meredith as well as Sanbornton and the TiltonNorthfield Fire District — only to learn there was little to no interest from them for financially supporting the boat purchase. The Belmont Budget Committee eliminated the replacement boat from the 2013 budget, and Cormier said last night that any boat discussion was moot. Since the Winnisquam Station closed, many residents from the Winnisquam area of Sanbornton and the Lochmere section of Tilton have maintained an interest in some kind of regional safety effort in that area. The meeting is not just about the former Winnisquam Fire Station. Nickerson said there are a number of areas of mutual interest, giving the new grader in Sanbornton as as example of items in the Sanbornton Highway Department that could be of interest to one of the other town’s public works department. “The idea is to bring people into the same room and work of common goals,” he said. The “meet and greet” is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. May 29 in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room in Sanbornton at the Town Offices.
from preceding page Neighbors said that over the years, Castro took part in the search for one of the women, Gina DeJesus, helped pass out fliers, performed music at a fundraiser for her and attended a candlelight vigil, at which he comforted her mother.
None of the women said anything that indicated Castro’s brothers, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, were involved, Tomba said. “Ariel kept everyone at a distance,” he said. A court hearing for Ariel Castro was see next page

set for Thursday morning. The deputy chief also said there was no evidence to indicate any of the women had been outside without clothes, despite claims from a neighbor who said a naked woman was seen crawling around the backyard. Cleveland police have disputed claims by neighbors that officers had been called to the house before for suspicious circumstances. They said nothing in their records supports that. Earlier Wednesday, Berry, 27, and DeJesus, who is in her early 20s, were welcomed home by jubilant crowds of loved ones and neighbors with balloons and banners. Family members protectively took them inside, past hundreds of reporters and onlookers. Neither woman spoke. “Give us time and privacy to heal,” said Sandra Ruiz, DeJesus’ aunt. Ruiz urged the public not to retaliate against the Castros or their families. DeJesus’ father pumped his fist after arriving home with his daughter and urged people across the country to watch over the children in their neighborhoods, including other people’s kids. “Too many kids these days come up missing, and we always ask this question: How come I didn’t see what happened to that kid? Why? Because we chose not to,” he saidThe third captive,
Public Library. ‘’He was the love of my life,’’ says Cox, who says that Stinson was tragically shot to death by his brother, Timothy, in December of 1975 in what was deemed an accidental shooting. She is working with Laconia High School track coach Andy Mercer and former LHS cross-country runner Russell Lagueux of Londonderry to organize the May 17 event.
Michelle Knight, 32, was reported in good condition at Metro Health Medical Center, which a day earlier had reported that all three victims had been released. There was no immediate explanation from the hospital. The Associated Press does not usually identify people who may be victims of sexual assault, but the names of the women were widely circulated by their families, friends and law enforcement authorities for years during their disappearances and after they were found. Castro also was questioned about 14-year-old Ashley Summers, who disappeared near his house in 2007. But Tomba said there was no new information linking that case to Castro. While prosecutors announced charges against Castro, federal agents searched a vacant house near where the women had been held. Officials would not say why they were there. A 2005 domestic-violence filing in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court accused Castro of twice breaking the nose of his children’s mother, knocking out a tooth, dislocating each shoulder and threatening to kill her and her daughters three or four times in a year. The filing for a protective order by Grimilda Figueroa also said that Castro frequently abducted her daughters and kept them from her. Figueroa died a year ago.

Bruins take 3-1 series lead with 4-3 OT win in Toronto TORONTO (AP) — David Krejci scored his third goal of the night at 13:06 of overtime Wednesday, giving the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and a 3-1 lead in their playoff series. Krejci beat James Reimer with a shot from the faceoff circle after coming down the left wing. The Bruins are 15-2 when leading a best-of-seven series 3-1. And Toronto is 2-12-1 in its last 15 games in Boston. The Bruins have not lost a playoff game in Toronto since 1959. Joffrey Lupul, Cody Franson and Clarke MacArthur scored for Toronto. Patrice Bergeron added a goal for Boston, with captain Zdeno Chara collecting four assists. Goalies Tuukka Rask and Reimer were both busy
in an end-to-end overtime, with Toronto’s Matt Frattin hitting Rask’s goalpost. Krejci has five goals and five assists in the series, combining with linemates Milan Lucic (0-7) and Nathan Horton (3-3) for eight goals and 15 assists. The Leafs used their speed to great effect and led 2-0 after the first period, only to see the Bruins fight back to take a 3-2 lead in the second. Toronto stopped the slide with a late goal of its own. Tied 3-3, it was desperate high-stakes hockey, with players putting their bodies on the line. Toronto defenseman Mark Fraser, who does not wear a visor, took Lucic’s shot in the face with 12 minutes remaining and headed to the dressing room, leaving a pool of blood on the ice. The overtime was even more tense.
BOSTON (AP) — Pedro Florimon had a solo homer and a two-run double in Minnesota’s season-high, seven-run second inning that carried the Twins to a 15-8 rout over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night. David Ortiz went 0 for 5 with two strikeouts and three groundouts to snap his 27-game hitting streak, dating back to last season. Ortiz had hit safely in his first 15 games this season, giving him Boston’s longest since Manny Ramirez also hit in 27 straight in 2006. Ryan Doumit had a two-run homer, Oswald Arcia went 4 for 5 with three singles and a double, and Trevor Flouffe drove in three of the Twins’ seasonhigh runs. Minnesota also had a season-high 20 hits. Jonny Gomes hit his fourth career grand slam — first with the Red Sox — and drove in five runs. Shane Victorino added a solo homer for Boston, which lost for the fifth time in six games. In the first two innings, the teams combined for 17 runs
and 10 extra-base hits, chasing both starting pitchers as the Twins held an 11-6 edge after posting their big second. Ryan Pressly (1-0) pitched four shutout innings of relief for the win. Boston’s Allen Webster (0-1), making his second career start, gave up eight runs, six hits and walked three while getting only five outs. Twins starter Pedro Hernandez faired just a little better, allowing six runs and seven hits in two innings of his fifth career start. Trailing 5-4 in the second, Minnesota sent 11 batters to the plate and had its biggest inning of the season. Florimon tied it with a leadoff homer into the seats above the Green Monster. Justin Morneau’s sacrifice fly pushed the Twins ahead, before Plouffe’s RBI double chased Webster. Aaron Hicks then had a tworun single off Felix Doubront and Florimon followed with his two-run double, making it 11-5.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — New Hampshire’s governor is opposing Connecticut legislation establishing rules for renewable energy that boosts hydropower from Canada. Gov. Maggie Hassan wrote to Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a fellow Democrat, on Wednesday, saying the rules would undermine New England’s common goal of fostering new and small-scale renewable power. A major transmission line extending through New
Hampshire would run electricity from the hydropower project into New England. Hassan said the project could have an impact on some of New Hampshire’s most important natural resources and tourist sites. Mark Ojakian, Malloy’s chief of staff, said the governor disagrees with Hassan. He says hydroelectric power would reduce rates for Connecticut residents and increase the state’s renewable energy supply. The bill passed the state Senate on May 1 and awaits action in the House of Representatives.

to 1 p.m. Superintendent Kris Meinhold of the cemetery association says the approximately one-hour long program will begin with light refreshments followed by a brief address and prayer by a local clergyman. Mothers will then have an opportunity to approach the podium to briefly share with all those gathered something about their mothers and the impact they had on their lives. Meinhold says the event is named ‘’Celebrating Moms’’ and is like those held in many cemeteries across the country although he believes it is the first of its kind held in New Hampshire. He says that donations will be accepted at the event for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Meinhold says that there will be a surprise closing which he says will ‘’bring some funs and lots of smiles.’’

‘Banjos, Bones and Ballads’ at Gilford Library on May 14
Michael Nix surprise addition to Boxcar Lilies show
GILFORD — “Old, traditional songs are as close as you can get to a community of another time,” said musician and music historian Jeff Warner, who will be at the Gilford Public Library on Tuesday, May 14, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. for “Banjos, Bones, and Ballads” The son of legendary folk music historians Anne and Frank Warner, Jeff Warner grew up immersed in the old, traditional songs of our country, and he now spends his time bringing these songs to life in the US, Canada, and the UK. Though he plays and loves the songs of Appalachia,he says he has developed a particular affinity for the sailor songs of Boston and Portsmouth, and the logging songs from the Northeast’s logging camps. “There aren’t as many people preserving those old songs, their old style. I want people to hear them as they were sung,” he said. As for the ‘bones’, “they really are bones.” Warner said that no one knows how they started as music, “but you can just imagine ... if you’re a kid in 1790, and you live on a farm, and you want to play music, bones is what you have.” Warner’s bones are made of shards from a cow’s leg, and they’re about eight inches long. “You use two, you hold them in one hand and rattle them together, it looks fascinating and it sounds lovely,” he said.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Part of your charm is that you don’t psychically lean into people. You hold your own. You don’t say “do you know what I mean,” because you explain yourself well and you don’t need the validation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A burst of energy this afternoon has you tackling a list of random tasks that’s been building for weeks now. It will feel wonderful to get small things accomplished en masse. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Things are off to a good start, partly because you are not worried about how they will end. You go forward with lots of curiosity and very little expectation. You’re ready for the adventure to unfold. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 9). Smart strategies help you earn bigger this year. For instance, you will gain clients and customers and your fine reputation will spread as you network at local chapters of professional associations. Your love life takes a fun turn in July. Travel together, and you’ll get close quickly. Family additions happen in January. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 14, 33 and 20.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know what you want before everyone else does -- possibly before what you want is even “a thing.” Your proactive attitude will have you at the front of the line this afternoon. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The Venus change may have you feeling a bit ignored. This might be a welcome state, though, because it takes the pressure off. With all of the demands on you lately, you might see solitude as a luxury. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A burst of energy has your step lighter and your smile brighter. Romantic attention could be part of the fun. You could suddenly realize who has a crush on you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Consider taking your work to a new environment. Being able to focus without distraction will make you twice as productive as you would be in the hubbub of your familiar surroundings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You feel more animated than usual. You want to take up space and share all the friendly energy that’s been bottled up inside you. Lively socializing leads to interesting developments in your personal life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t like being told what to do. But once you remove your resistance to life’s road signs and guides, you’ll see how life can be made easy simply by following the directions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People don’t want to say no to you today. But if that’s really the answer, make them say it. It’s better to get a fast no than to waste your time chasing a maybe that eventually leads to a no anyway. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve heard that it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. You’ll question this logic now. Time is your most precious resource, and you don’t want to waste it in scenarios that won’t end well. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your powers of observation are so dialed in that you can read what some people are thinking. Group dynamics will be especially interesting to you. You’ll sense correctly who the real leader is.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, May 9, the 129th day of 2013. There are 236 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 9, 1754, a political cartoon in Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette depicted a snake cut into eight pieces, each section representing a part of the American colonies; the caption read, “JOIN, or DIE.” On this date: In 1712, the Carolina Colony was officially divided into two entities: North Carolina and South Carolina. In 1883, Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset was born in Madrid. In 1936, Italy annexed Ethiopia. In 1945, U.S. officials announced that a midnight entertainment curfew was being lifted immediately. In 1951, the U.S. conducted its first thermonuclear experiment as part of Operation Greenhouse by detonating a 225-kiloton device on Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific nicknamed “George.” In 1958, “Vertigo,” Alfred Hitchcock’s eerie thriller starring James Stewart and Kim Novak, premiered in San Francisco, the movie’s setting. In 1961, in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton N. Minow decried the majority of television programming as a “vast wasteland.” In 1962, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology succeeded in reflecting a laser beam off the surface of the moon. In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee opened public hearings on whether to recommend the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. In 1978, the bullet-riddled body of former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro, who’d been abducted by the Red Brigades, was found in an automobile in the center of Rome. In 1980, 35 people were killed when a freighter rammed the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay in Florida, causing a 1,400-foot section of the southbound span to collapse. In 1987, 183 people were killed when a New York-bound Polish jetliner crashed while attempting an emergency return to Warsaw. Ten years ago: A camouflage-clad gunman fired hundreds of rounds as he roamed the halls of Case Western Reserve University’s business school in Cleveland, killing one person (Biswanath Halder was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison). The United States and its allies asked the U.N. Security Council to give its stamp of approval to their occupation of Iraq. Five years ago: Democrat Barack Obama picked up the backing of nine superdelegates, all but erasing Hillary Rodham Clinton’s once-imposing lead. Jury selection began in the Chicago trial of R&B superstar R. Kelly, accused of videotaping himself having sex with a girl as young as 13. (Kelly was later acquitted on all counts.) One year ago: President Barack Obama declared his unequivocal support for same-sex marriage in a historic announcement that came three days after Vice President Joe Biden spoke in favor of such unions on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Hair stylist Vidal Sassoon, 84, died in Los Angeles.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, May 9, 2013— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband is the youngest of seven siblings. While they are all successful, some are more financially comfortable than others. Five years ago, the oldest sibling wanted to give their mother an 80th birthday party. She planned a huge party for hundreds of her mother’s friends and neighbors. She rented a party place, hired a band and catered an elaborate buffet and open bar. She then emailed all of the siblings and informed them that they each owed her $1,000. Annie, my husband didn’t have that kind of extra money. He had recently moved, found a new job and married me, a graduate student. He also pays child support for a daughter and the mortgage on another daughter’s home, as well as our rent. He explained this to his sister and said he could pay $150. We attended the party and enjoyed ourselves. There was no animosity from the sister about the money at that time. But now she has started making rude comments to my husband and the other siblings via Facebook and email that she is still waiting for my husband to “step up to the plate” and pay the rest of his share. Is it right for one member of a family to plan an event without consulting the others and then expect them to pony up the money requested? This has caused a serious rift between my husband and some of his siblings. -- Wife of Mr. 15 Percent Dear Wife: Obviously, your husband’s sister should have discussed the finances with her siblings if she expected them to split the bill. And if she is having a problem with your husband, she shouldn’t be slamming him on Facebook or in group emails. However, she did go through a lot of trouble to plan the party, and for five years, she’s been out of pocket the amount she thought your husband would pay. He doesn’t “owe” her the rest. But in order to maintain good family rela-
tions, your husband might speak privately with his sister and ask whether he could contribute whatever additional monies he can afford on an installment plan. Dear Annie: Please tell the men in your reading audience that women interpret their wedding vows differently than we do. I finally proposed to my girlfriend of many years. It made such a huge difference in our relationship, which had been floundering a bit. I never realized how hurt she was by my lack of commitment. She thought I didn’t love her enough and told me it made her feel as if she wasn’t a part of my life or a member of my family. She said she felt like a housekeeper with privileges. Now our ability to communicate and enjoy things together is so pleasurable again. It scares me to think we had almost given up on each other and might have ended up living out our lives apart and unhappy. We men don’t think about the sense of security it gives a woman to know, with legal vows, that a man wants to spend the rest of his life with her. -- Happy and Alive Again Dear Happy: In all fairness, not all women feel this way. But we are glad you figured out what mattered to your girlfriend and told her so. The inability to commit is a problem we hear a great deal about, so we appreciate your spelling it out for the relationship challenged. Dear Annie: Please tell “Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet” that fraternal organizations offer a place for everyone who is looking for friendship and a way to become involved and active. If one has a military background, I suggest checking out the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars or one of their affiliate organizations. In addition, there are the Elks lodges, Eagles clubs and Masonic organizations, to mention a few. I belong to the Shriners, and they have a great deal of social interaction. -- Kansas Brother
