CONCORD — Legislation that would authorize the state to sell the former Laconia State School property to the city of Laconia at its fair market value was scuttled yesterday when House and Senate conferees failed to reach agreement on two other provisions of a catch-all bill bearing on the judicial system.

The Senate amended House Bill 1205

to repeal a provision of the companion bill to the 2012-2013 state budget stipulating that the property be offered to the city of Laconia for “not less than $10-million.” The Senate decided to change course after the state appraised the property at $2.16-million and the City Council, after receiving the state’s $10-million offer, made a counter offer to purchase the property, along with the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, for that price.

The legislation prescribed that the sale would be subject to the statute (RSA 4:40) governing the disposal of state-owned real estate, which stipulates that the property must first be offered to the municipality where it is located and cannot be sold for less than its “current market value.”

The Senate also amended the bill to include a $1.7-million appropriation to the court system for investment in information see STaTE SCHOOL page 15

GILFORD — Although the discussion has been acrimonious on occasion, the town and the state Department of Transportation will likely work together to eventually build a memorial and erect a flagpole in the triangle of green space at the intersection of Routes 11-A and 11-B.

CONCORD — The hearing to revoke the license of Will Drew, owner of Kelsey’s at the Grant, the controversial Gilford adult entertainment venue last known as Mardi Gras North, opened here yesterday with seven hours of testimony before the New

The hearing follows the arrest of five exotic dancers employed at the nightspot on charges of drug trafficking at the club in a raid mounted by the Attorney General’s Drug Task Force and Belknap County Special Operations Group last October 18, which led to the closure of the business in

NYC mayor proposes ban on large sodas

NEW YORK (AP) — Want to super-size that soda? Sorry, but in New York City you could be out of luck.

In his latest effort to fight obesity in this era of Big Gulps and triple bacon cheeseburgers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is proposing an unprecedented ban on large servings of soda and other sugary drinks at restaurants, delis, sports arenas and movie theaters.

Drinks would be limited to 16 ounces, which is considered a small serving at many fastfood joints.

“The percentage of the population that is obese is skyrocketing,” Bloomberg said Thursday on MSNBC. He added: “We’ve got to do something.”

It is the first time an American city has directly attempted to limit soda portion sizes, and the soft-drink industry and others bitterly accused the threeterm mayor of creating a “nanny state” and robbing New Yorkers of the right to decide for themselves.

“The people of New York City are much smarter than the see SODA page 8

Yield on 10-year Treasury note driven to record low 1.54% NEW YORK (AP) — Investors stampeded into U.S. government bonds Thursday, driving the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury note as low as 1.54 percent, a record.

People were fearful that the U.S. economy might be hitting the skids at the same time as Europe is falling apart and the economies of China and India are slowing.

When investors want to protect their portfolios they tend to plow money into U.S. government bonds, which are considered

among the safest in the world because they are less likely to lose value and are easily tradable.

The record low rate beat the previous mark of 1.55 percent, which was set in November 1945. That was just after the end of World War II, when government price controls kept interest rates artificially low to preserve financial stability.

“The record today is even more dramatic when you consider that the Fed and Treasury had an explicit policy of keeping inter-

est rates low after the war,” said Campbell Harvey, finance professor at Duke University. Harvey said that when he conducts research on government monetary policy, he doesn’t consider the interest rates on bonds prior to 1953 because the markets were heavily manipulated by the government then.

Investors were already on high alert after learning on Wednesday that Spaniards were pulling billions of deposits out of see BONDS page 9

BOSTON (AP) — A battle over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman appears headed for the Supreme Court after an appeals court ruled Thursday that denying benefits to married gay couples is unconstitutional.

In a unanimous decision, the threejudge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said the 1996 law deprives gay couples of the rights and privileges granted to heterosexual couples.

The court didn’t rule on the law’s more politically combustible provision — that states without same-sex marriage cannot be forced to recognize gay unions performed in states where it’s legal. It also wasn’t asked to address whether gay couples have a constitutional right to marry.

The law was passed at a time when it appeared Hawaii would legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved the prac-

tice, led by Massachusetts in 2004.

The court, the first federal appeals panel to rule against the benefits section of the law, agreed with a lower court judge who in 2010 concluded that the law interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns. The ruling came in two lawsuits, one filed by the Boston-based legal see MARRIAGE page 10

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards’ campaign finance fraud case ended in a mistrial Thursday when jurors acquitted him on one of six charges but were unable to decide whether he misused money from two wealthy donors to hide his preg-

nant mistress while he ran for president.

The trial exposed a sordid sex scandal that unfolded while Edwards’ wife was dying of cancer, but prosecutors couldn’t convince jurors that the ex-U.S. senator and 2004 vice presidential candidate masterminded a $1

million cover-up of his affair.

29-year-old charged with selling oxycodone & heroin LACONIA — Police arrested a 29 year-old city man yesterday on charges that he sold heroin and oxycodone.

Joseph Raso, last known address of 160 Stark Street, is charged with four

counts of sale of a narcotic drug. Police allege he sold heroin three times and once sold oxycodone during July, 2011.

Raso refused bail and is scheduled to be arraigned today in Laconia District Court.

2 woman who want Democrat’s nomination for governor differ on need for income tax HENNIKER, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s three Democratic candidates for governor differed over whether the state should impose a personal income tax and outlined their views on the state’s economic woes and the current Republican leadership in the Legislature during their first debate of the primary.

Former Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan of Exeter said she is staunchly opposed to an income or sales tax and would veto either as governor.

Opponents Jackie Cilley of Barrington and Bill Kennedy of Danbury both said they will not take the pledge to oppose broad-based taxes.

Kennedy said he favors an income tax to ease the property tax burden on citizens.

Cilley said she’s open to discussing any remedy that would ease the property tax burden, but has stopped short of supporting a broad-based tax.

“We’ve taxed ourselves right out of competitiveness because of that reliance on property tax,” Cilley said. “It is time to have a conversation about priorities and how meet them.”

New Hampshire is one of nine states that do not tax personal income, though it taxes interest and dividends.

Kennedy described himself as the most progressive of the three. Cilley described herself as an “absolute pragmatist.” Hassan said she is “proud to be a Democrat.”

The debate — coordinated by WMUR-TV — was held at New Eng-

land College in Henniker. Moderators were WMUR political director James Prindell and Concord Monitor Editor Felice Belman.

The debate was congenial, with candidates alternately describing it as a “conversation” and “a discussion.”

All three candidates were critical of what they said was a divisive and extreme legislative agenda under the GOP’s leadership, and they said adding jobs is a top priority.

They also said they favor abortion rights, although Kennedy acknowledged he’s personally “ethically torn,” without elaborating. Additionally, they all said they support gay marriage and would fight efforts to repeal New Hampshire’s same-sex marriage law.

Hassan and Cilley have both served in the Legislature. Hassan served three terms in the Senate under Democratic Gov. John Lynch. Cilley served one term as a representative and was elected the next term —in 2006 — to the Senate.

Kennedy, a political newcomer, spent 29 years in the Air Force and said he represents “a fresh alternative.”

Asked to assess Lynch’s tenure in office, Hassan and Cilley lauded his accessibility and outreach to citizens and business owners alike.

Kennedy said that while he opposes Lynch on the issues of income tax and casinos — Kennedy says he’s “anticasino” — he credited Lynch with keeping “the radicals at bay.”

Lynch & GOP lawmaker agree on wording on constitutional amendment to allow for targeted state school aid

CONCORD (AP) — Legislative leaders and Gov. John Lynch on Thursday agreed on a proposed constitutional amendment to give the Legislature complete authority over public school funding, though they insisted it would not result in reduced aid.

The state has been sending a base amount per pupil to all communities, funded by state taxes and a new state property tax, in response to a landmark 1997 state Supreme Court ruling requiring it to provide all children with an adequate education. But lawmakers have been trying for years to nullify the ruling and shift school funding control from the courts to the Legislature.

After spending the last week working to reconcile differences between the House and Senate over the amendment’s wording, lawmakers announced new language Thursday that allows the state to target aid to poorer communities and makes it harder to challenge state education laws in court.

The proposal specifies that the Legislature has the “the responsibility” to maintain a system of public education and to address economic disparities between communities. It also gives the Legislature the “full power and authority to make reasonable standards” for public education, decide how much to spend on it and how that money should be raised and distributed.

Putting the question on the November ballot will require a three-fifths vote of each chamber; two-thirds of voters must approve it to change the constitution.

“It is straightforward and unambiguous,” said House Speaker William O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon, who answered “absolutely not” when asked whether he thought adoption of the amendment would lead to communities getting less money than they current receive.

Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, agreed, saying the current Legislature maintained the same level of funding “in one of the toughest budget situations that New Hampshire’s ever faced,” so voters should trust that future legislatures would do the same.

But critics of the proposal said

recent measures aimed at stabilizing funding for communities likely would not have been enacted had the court ruling been nullified earlier, so there is no guarantee that current state funding levels will be maintained in the future.

“The New Hampshire School Boards Association remains concerned with language that both removes the fundamental right of education for all children, and puts at risk millions of dollars in state aid to local communities,” said Dean Michener, the group’s director of governmental affairs. “This amendment will result in property tax increases statewide.”

Supporters of the amendment said one of its’ key strengths is that it would mean property-rich communities would no longer be required to help poorer communities with their education costs.

“This is a much sensible standard than under the (court ruling), in which the state was required to send money, precious education dollars, to communities that just did not need that support,” O’Brien said.

But Mark Joyce, director of the New Hampshire School Administrators Association, said nothing in the language would prohibit lawmakers from enacting another state property tax.

And while it is true that lawmakers could spend more on education in the future, “In every case where they’ve had that opportunity, they’ve reduced aid,” he said.

“I think we have to keep focused on the fact that this is fundamentally taking away the right of every New Hampshire child to a guaranteed opportunity for an adequate education,” he said. “I think it’s built on a lot of mythology and romantic notions.”

Including the word “responsibility” in the amendment was key to getting the support of Lynch, a Democrat.

Though he has no direct role in proposed constitutional amendments by either signing or vetoing them, the House can’t get the votes needed to pass it without Lynch getting some Democrats to go along. Lynch’s support also is seen as key in getting voters to approve the measure if it gets on the November ballot.

Ann Romney asks the right question When Hillary Rosen said that Ann Romney had “never worked a day in her life,” it was among the better days of the Romney campaign. For Rosen — present whereabouts unknown — both revealed the feminist mindset about women who choose to become wives and mothers and brought Ann Romney center stage.

Before a Connecticut audience recently, Mrs. Romney spoke of her reluctance to see her husband pursue the presidency a second time and said she resisted, until she got an answer to one critical question.

“Can you fix it?” she asked Mitt. “I need to know. Is it too late?” Mitt Romney replied, “No, it’s getting late, but it’s not too late.”

Yet Ann’s question lingers. Is it still possible to turn this country around? Or has a fate like that of Europe become inevitable?

If one focuses on the deficit-debt crisis, and what a president can do, the temptation is to succumb to despair. Consider. The U.S. government spends a peacetime record 24 to 25-percent of gross domestic product. Most of that is expended on five accounts: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other Great Society programs, interest on the national debt, war and defense.

Now assume the best of all worlds for the GOP. Mitt wins, and the party captures the Senate and holds the House. Would that assure a rollback of the federal budget? And, if so, how?

As Romney is committed to expanding the armed forces by 100,000 personnel, to growing the Navy by 15 ships a year, from today’s nine, to raising defense spending to 4-percent of GDP from the present 3.8-percent, defense spending would not be going down but up.

What about interest expense?

Given the Federal Reserve’s present policy of holding interest rates near zero, the only way interest on the debt can go — is up.

Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and the Great Society would have to sustain almost all of the cuts if the budget is to move toward balance.But if the Republicans cut current benefits, they would antagonize 50-million seniors already on Social Security and Medicare. If they cut future benefits, they will anger the baby boomers who are reaching eligibility for these retirement programs at a rate of 300,000 a month, 10,000 a day, and will continue to retire at that pace until 2030.

Would a President Romney and Republican Congress roll back benefits for scores of millions of seniors, raise the retirement age for Social Security and Medicare, reduce funds for Medicaid, Head Start, Pell grants, student loans, primary and secondary education, and shed federal employees by the tens of thousands?

Republicans argue that the corporate tax rate of 35-percent, highest among advanced nations, and the personal rate of 35-percent should be cut.

The other piece of tax reform is the elimination of deductions and credits so a lower rate on a broader tax base will yield the same or additional revenue. Looks good on paper.

But today 50-percent of all U.S. wage-earners pay zero income tax.

Will that half of a nation reward a party that ensures that many of them, too, contribute? Free-riders on the federal tax code are voters, too.

Again, the crucial question: Does the Romney Republican Party have the courage of its convictions — to carry out a fiscal program consistent with its conservative philosophy? For when, ever, has the modern GOP done that?

Richard Nixon funded the Great Society. Gerald Ford bailed out the Big Apple. George H.W. Bush increased spending and raised taxes. George W. Bush gave us No Child Left Behind, free prescription drugs for seniors, two wars, tax cuts and the largest increase in domestic spending since LBJ. Even Ronald Reagan ruefully conceded that he failed to do what he had set out to do in cutting federal spending.

Now, we are assured that this generation of Republicans has come home to the church and confessed its sins, and is prepared to face martyrdom in the name of fiscal responsibility.

Well, perhaps.

Yet, if it is difficult to see how the GOP advances toward a balanced budget, it is impossible to see how President Obama does. Would the party of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, triumphant, scale back programs that are the pride of their party — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid? Would Pelosi, Reid and Obama cut the number of bureaucrats and beneficiaries of federal programs, thereby demobilizing the unionized armies on which they depend at election time?

When FDR came to power in 1933, after his running mate, “Cactus Jack” Garner, accused Herbert Hoover of taking us “down the road to socialism,” the Federal government was spending 4-percent of GDP. Today, it spends 24-percent. Under both parties, under every president since FDR, domestic spending has moved in one direction.

Ann Romney’s question remains relevant. Is the trend inexorable? Is there any turning back? Is it too late?

(Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)

LETTERS Health of our veterans shouldn’t be sacrificed to expediency To the editor, Over the past week, as American’s went to barbecues and watched fireworks, it is (as always) good to remember what it is we are celebrating; namely, the bravery and sacrifice of our men and women in the armed forces. As a nation, we owe a great debt to those who have put themselves in harms way that our nation might be free. Yet, all too often, we as a nation fail to convert our words into deeds and our veteran’s suffering is compounded. Unfortunately, this is even true in New Hampshire, where access to health care for veterans is among the worst in the nation.

This problem is particularly egregious in the middle and northern parts of state, where the closest veteran’s hospital is over an hour away in Boston. It is unacceptable to me that New Hampshire’s veterans, particularly those who are elderly, or those who sustained injuries during their service, should have so little access

to health care close to home. As your senator in Concord, I will fight as tirelessly to get veterans the care they deserve after they fought tirelessly for our freedoms. By allocating a fraction of what we save by eliminating wasteful spending and increasing government efficiency, we could conceivably build a new veteran’s hospital in Merrimack or Belknap county, giving New Hampshire veterans access to the health care they deserve.

Additionally, because these service people defended our federal government, demanding federal funds in the form of grants — not loans — could help to make this a reality. As a staunch fiscal conservative, I understand the state’s need to spend as little as possible and as efficiently as possible, but as an American I know with conviction that we should never allow our servicemen and women to be sacrificed in the name of expediency.

Are you’re impressed with Romney’s job creation record in Mass?

To the editor, Will Romney get you a job? Look at his history of getting workers jobs.

As he campaigned to be governor of Massachusetts, Romney made many claims that are almost identical with those he is making now. Look at them and compare them. If his record of creating jobs in Massachusetts is any indication, his promises are just that, empty. You know what they are, I am a pro business man, not a politician. I know how to create jobs. I will attract manufacturing jobs to the state.

When Romney took office Massachusetts had a job situation similar to the U.S. today. He signed a small stimulus bill which was just a drop in the bucket, even though he said it was too

big. To raise money he raised taxes on businesses. They complained it made them less competitive.

When Romney took office there were 338,000 jobs in the state, when he left office, four years later, there were 298,000 jobs. The lost jobs were blue collar jobs from the middle class families. Massachusetts was 47th state in job creation. What Romney did at Baine Capital was make money for him and his investors. That was his job. He might have coincidentally created jobs; he has not shown any information that he did. His record as a politician is not as good as his at Baine.

LETTERS Please take a moment to thank people who made WOW Ball work To the editor, The 9th Annual “WOW Sweepstakes Ball” was held at the Opechee Inn & Conference Center on Saturday, May 19 and was another great evening of food, fun, dancing and more. Congratulations to our 10 cash prize winners and $10,000 Grand Prize winner Rita O’Brien of Gilford! We write this letter to thank and acknowledge the individuals and businesses for their generous contributions and support of the WOW Trail. We are grateful that the WOW Trail has gained such widespread support from our community.

The proceeds from this year’s WOW Sweepstakes Ball of almost $40,000 will be used for the continued expansion and on-going maintenance of the trail. We are just beginning the engineering design of Phase II of the trail, which will extend the trail from downtown to Belmont, and we hope to build this section in 2013 or 2014.

Many thanks to all who bought a ticket to this fundraising event. We were again delighted by the tremendous turnout...and our 9th sell-out!

What to do with that view?

It was more than 15 years ago but the reporter’s comments still ring in my ears.

I had just started working for the Laconia Citizen, just beginning to grasp the complex task of telling to people the daily story of how their communities developed. What happened at local board meetings, school group gathering, public business forums, etc., was often tedious.

But this was an honorable task. So as much as I could, I tried to learn from the more seasoned reporters.\ And I clearly remember the day one came into the newsroom after his first view of the land now known popularly as the “Laconia State School Property” — the hundreds of acres that had formerly housed the Laconia State School for “retarded” people under the state’s care.

“Man, what a view,” the reporter said, taking off his coat. “There’s nothing like it I’ve ever seen in the Lakes Region... It should be turned into some kind of private resort or something. A golf course. It would be worth millions. It would bring in millions of dollars of taxpayers money.”

The remarks echoed in my head again last week with the news that the state-owned property may soon be in the hands of Laconia. Elected state officials in Concord appear to be moving closer and closer to letting the Lake City buy the land for its approximate currently appraised cost of about $2.16-million. The City Council has already approved the figure.

But a question remains.

If Laconia buys the land, what should be done with it?

Some folks say it shouldn’t even consider taking the land — that there’s already too much “taxexempt” property in Laconia and there are environmental clean-up issues at the old school that could cost additional millions to resolve.

“If the $2.16-million is such a good price why hasn’t a private developer

Thanks for helping Wanda Tibbetts tribute come together on time To the editor, Dear Mayor Michael Seymour and City Councilors: The Lakeport Community Association thanks you for attending the dedication and new flag raising ceremony in Lakeport Square in memory of Wanda Tibbetts. We appreciate all who found the time to meet a rush order to make it possible to honor Wanda in time for Memorial Day, May 28, 2012.

Many thanks to the — Department of Public Works and the Department of Parks & Recreation for installing the flagpole.

— Laconia Administrative Assistant Nancy Brown and Mayor Michael Seymour for the proclamation and to the mayor for presenting it at the ceremony.

— Citizen of Laconia and The

this event in time to invite the 50 or more who attended to pay homage to Wanda.

— Opechee Park Community Center and Rep. Robert Luther for special flags honoring Wanda.

— Councilmen Robert Hamel and Armand Bolduc for their appearance.

And special thanks to Armand Bolduc for orchestrating the ceremony and attending to all the details that enabled it to be ready for Memorial Day. — Tibbetts and Bladecki family, friends, customers and acquaintances of Wanda and the members of the Lakeport Community Association for sharing Wanda’s wish for a new flagpole and flag in Lakeport Square and for being there to witness her wish come true.

expressed interest in the land,” one asked in a recent public letter.

Others talk about turning huge acreage into some kind of recreational center or even a nature preserve.

Still other folks see the huge parcel on the north end as perhaps Laconia’s last and best chance to manage its development.

“If the city decides wisely, the Laconia State School property could become an engine for our economy that attracts young professionals to Laconia, increases surrounding property values and contributes to the revitalization of downtown,” one resident wrote. Without that involvement, an independent developer could build a project that has negative long-term impacts on the city and the region, he adds.

It’s not hard to see how a municipally based project can have a positive impact on a community. Just look at Baltimore’s seaport area or the tourism town of Cape May, NJ. Both were severely depressed before the communities sought improvements.

And it’s just as easy to identify government-led projects that ended up costing millions and screwing up major redevelopment. Who’s old enough to remember the demolition of Boston’s old Scully Square and the horrid Government Plaza area that replaced it? Or many of the federal Urban Renewal Projects — including the local one that nearly demolished the Historic Belknap Mill?

LETTERS Thanks for joining movement to create a world free of MS

So many people played key roles in making BOW WOW Fest go

To the editor, On behalf of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater New England Chapter, I would like to thank the following local businesses for their generous support of the Laconia MS Walk 2012: AppleBee’s, Nashua; Annie’s Cafe & Catering, Laconia; Coca Cola Bottling, Belmont; Country Kitchen, Belmont; Dunkin’ Donuts, Laconia; Fratello’s Restaurant, Laconia; Hannaford’s Supermarket, Gilford; Laconia Ice Company, Laconia; Subway, Laconia; T-Bones, Laconia; The 99, Tilton; and The Village Bakery, Laconia.

These businesses provided food and beverage items for all participants in the Laconia MS Walk 2012.

We would also like to thank Bank of New Hampshire (formerly Laconia Savings Bank) for hosting the “rest stop” for this event.

The Laconia MS Walk 2012 hosted

To the editor, If you happened to be driving by Lakeport Square the morning of May 5 and thought you’d seen a dog parade — you weren’t hallucinating! It was the 2nd annual BOW-WOW FEST! From the littlest Chihuahua to the biggest Bull Mastiff and everything in between, over 50 breeds created a spectacular sight!

So, besides all our participants, who convinced their owners to take more time out than usual for their morning walk, I will attempt to thank everyone involved in its success and apologize to anyone I miss.

My employer, Melcher & Prescott Insurance, along with the WOW Trail Board of Directors have to remain at the top of the heap for their ongoing support and encouragement to help expand our community recreational options; Michelle DuPont and Annie Boissoneault of the Lake Opechee Inn & Spa for again offering their beautiful property as our base of operations; my “pit crew”, inlcuding second-year veterans Janet Brough (Administrative Assistant to our Superintendent of Schools) and Kevin Dunleavy (Director of Parks and Recreation), and newbie Ann Saltmarsh (Technical Administrative Assistant at the Department of Public Works). I couldn’t have done it without you!.

Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams and K-9 officers Kevin Short and newbie “Jagger”, who were this year’s recipients for donations for Jagger’s training; special blessing, Father Matt Mason from St Andre Bessette Parish; special guest, reigning world champion musher Keith Bryar and his winning team — thanks for taking time out to introduce yourselves to this shirt-sleeved audience.

Famous person, Charlie St. Clair (well-known Executive Director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association) with his second hat on as TV personality for MetroCast Channel 25 Public Access . Thank you for getting our name in lights!

Art teacher veterans Kate Criscone of Holy Trinity and Gretchen Caruso of Woodland Heights for supporting this event through their classes

and securing over 40 posters. Maggie Gibbs, (Holy Trinity’s veteran quarterback) for facilitating info along parent communications; LHS students, veteran Alexis Wright and Griffin Nyhan for leading our parade with fife and drum; Tyler Ehman as videographer; major underwriters: Eptam Plastics and Napa Auto.

You all did an amazing job at keeping this pooch parade in the news

SODA from page 2 New York City Health Department believes,” Coca-Cola Co. said in a statement. “New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase.”

The ban is expected to win approval from the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health and take effect as soon as March. City officials said they believe it will ultimately prove popular and push governments around the U.S. to adopt similar rules.

The ban would apply only to sweetened drinks over 16 ounces that contain more than 25 calories per 8 ounces. (A 12-ounce can of Coke has about 140 calories. Plastic bottles of Coke and other soft drinks often contain 20 ounces.)

It wouldn’t affect diet soda, any drink that’s at least 70 percent juice, or one that is at least half milk or milk substitute. Nor would it apply to drinks sold in many supermarkets or

face fines of $200 per failed inspection.

City officials said some calorie-heavy drinks such as Starbucks Frappuccinos would probably be exempted because of their dairy content, while Slurpees and Big Gulp drinks at 7-Eleven wouldn’t be affected because the convenience stores are regulated as groceries.

Bloomberg said people who want to guzzle soda would still be free to order more than one drink. But he said restricting servings to 16 ounces each could help curb consumption.

“You tend to eat all of the food in the container. If it’s bigger, you eat more. If somebody put a smaller glass or plate or bowl in front of you, you would eat less,” the mayor said.

In announcing the proposal, health officials cited research linking sugary drinks to rising rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. At the same time, City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said the city has no intention of

225 walkers and has raised $34,000 to date. THANK YOU to all of you who walked and/or donated to this event.

Funds from this event will support research into the cause and cure of MS. The money raised will also fund community-based education, support and advocacy within Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. The NMSS Greater New England Chapter responds to the needs of the nearly 19,000 individuals and their families who are confronted every day by the many challenges of living with multiple sclerosis, empowering them with the resources to maintain independence and to live their lives as fully as possible.

Thank you for joining the movement to create a world free of MS. We appreciate all of the help that these local businesses have provided.

Romney record doesn’t reflect fiscal responsibility, only cost shifting To the editor, We in New Hampshire are not fooled by the state Legislature’s tactic of decreasing state funding of services, leaving counties, cities, and towns to cut de-funded services or increase local property taxes. Property taxes have no relation to the owners’ ability to pay — until they have to sell the property.

Our Legislature could have learned this slight-of-hand from our former neighbor, Mitt Romney, as governor of Massachusetts. Trying to appear to keep his 2002 campaign promise

to eliminate the state’s budget deficit without raising taxes, Romney was able to reduce spending on “duplicate agencies and wasteful programs” by only about $10.5 million dollars. He then cut $277-million from the state’s local education aid and $130-million from higher education. As a result of depriving towns and counties of critical state funding, local property taxes increased 5-percent.

This isn’t fiscal responsibility, this is cost shifting. Been there, done that.

Character of a nation is measured by those who give themselves in service To the editor, “Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on office, a rotteness begins in his conduct”. — Thomas Jefferson.

“I will hold onto power until the last hour of the last day”. — Bill Clinton The character of a nation is measured in the people who give of themselves in service. They lead from the trenches while the self proclaimed

leaders sit in luxury and feast on caviar. There has never been a government endowed with charity nor bureaucracy formed for its purpose. Power distorts the mind of the ungodly and withers away any sign of character.

Drowning said official cause of Hebert’s death LACONIA — Police confirmed yesterday that accidental downing was the official cause of death of the local man whose body was found in May in the Winnipesaukee River.

Capt. Bill Clary said the N.H. Medical Examiner is still waiting for toxicology reports that may indicate the circumstance that led to why Mark D. Hebert, Sr. was in the river in the first place.

Hebert’s family held a funeral and memorial service before the Medi-

cal Examiner officially determined, through DNA, that he was the victim, however numerous sources at the time told The Daily Sun that Hebert was the victim.

He was known as being one of many people who frequented the homeless camps along the Winnipesaukee River. Hebert worked for many years at N.H. Ball Bearing and is survived by a son and three grandchildren.

Police still investigating marina outbuilding fire LACONIA — Police said they are investigating the cause of the fire that caused significant damage to a storage building at a Paugus Bay marina on Memorial Day. Laconia Police Capt. Bill Clary said the grass fire the started the smoky fire around 2:45 p.m. could be a criminal matter.

Firefighters responded quickly to

the blaze as they had just finished extinguishing another brush fire along the WOW Trail, about a halfmile south of the second blaze.

Paugus Bay Marina owner John Kevin Keenan told reporters at the time that the building near was not used to store boats but an adjacent building that was spared was.

BONDS from page 2 their banks, which could lead to larger bank runs and unhinge an already fragile debt situation in Europe.

A slew of worrisome U.S. economic data Thursday unnerved investors further.

Claims for unemployment benefits rose last week to a five-week high, and a closely watched index of factory output in the Chicago region fell for a third straight month to the lowest reading since September 2009. The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago warned that three consecutive declines have been associated with the onset of last seven national recessions.

Lastly, the government reported that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the first three months of the year, slower than estimated earlier.

That report also contained other worrying trends. Growth in disposable income in the fourth quarter was

revised downward to 0.2 percent from 1.7 percent in a previous report.

“There was this belief that the U.S. would be able to economically withstand the financial ramifications of a European fallout,” said John Briggs, Treasury strategist at the Royal Bank of Scotland. “Today’s economic numbers show that there are big cracks in the U.S. armor.”

For investors, it seems like there’s no place to hide. Previously fast-growing emerging economies are facing their own problems.

India said Wednesday that its economy grew at the slowest pace in nine years during the first three months of the year, while China’s growth plunged to a nearly three-year low of 8.1 percent.

One bright spot for the average American is that the drop in Treasurys yields means even cheaper mortgage rates.

Chamber rolls out red carpet in recognizing foursome of Local Heroes

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — There was a touch of Academy Awards Night at the base lodge of the Gunstock Mountain Resort last night as the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce rolled out the red carpet for its first annual Hero Awards event.

The new format, which brought together 16 nominees for four different awards, was presided over by Warren Bailey, chamber board member and master of ceremonies, and Karmen Gifford, executive director of the Chamber.

First award of the night was the Jim Irwin Community Service Award, which has been presented as far back as 1964 and is named for the legendary local businessman who founded Irwin’s Winnipesaukee Gardens and Irwin Marine.

His son Jack Irwin, 81, presented the award and gave a short talk in which he noted that his father was known for his ability to ‘’get things done’’ and described how he twice helped save tourism at the Weirs.

The first followed a fire which destroyed the New Hotel Weirs in 1924 along with the dance hall that his father had used. By the following Memorial Day Irwin had built the Winnipesaukee Gardens and brought a major new attraction to the area.

And when the side wheeler Mount Washington burned at its dock in 1939, Irwin worked to set up a corporation which bought the steamer Chateguay on Lake Champlain, cut it into sections and brought it by rail to Paugus Bay, where it was reassembled and made its maiden voyage on August 12, 1940.

That prompted Bailey to quip ‘’it’s too bad your dad didn’t own the Wide Open Saloon’’, referring to the controversial burned-out building which still stands at the entrance to Lakeside Avenue at the Weirs.

Nominees for the Irwin Award were Ed Darling, who worked for over 30 years in the emergency services field and as a community volunteer; Kathy Calvin, a prolific fundraiser for local non-profits; Allan Beetle, co-owner of Patrick’s Pub and Eatery and a supporter of many local charities, and Alex Ray, founder of the Ashland-based Common Man restaurant chain and innovative entrepreneur.

Ray won the award and spoke briefly, saying ‘’it was a team effort, not mine’’ and congratulated fellow restaurant owner Beetle saying ‘’Allan, you’re my man,’’ The Hurst Award, which began with the Greater Franklin Chamber of Commerce and was first presented to Carolyn and David Hurst in 2006, honors community leadership in the Franklin area.

The Hursts were at the event to present to the award and nominees were Jim Aberg, who headed the non-profit corporation which lead the expansion of the Franklin Business Park; Melissa Rizzo, a community leader who organized Franklin Community Day and the Odell Park Centennial; William “Billy”

MARRIAGE from page 2 group Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) and the other by state Attorney General Martha Coakley.

“For me, it’s more just about having equality and not having a system of first- and second-class marriages,” said plaintiff Jonathan Knight, a financial associate at Harvard Medical School who married Marlin Nabors in 2006.

“I think we can do better, as a country, than that,” said Knight, a plaintiff in the GLAD lawsuit.

Knight said the Defense of Marriage Act costs the

couple an extra $1,000 a year because they cannot file a joint federal tax return.

Opponents of gay marriage blasted the decision.

“This ruling that a state can mandate to the federal government the definition of marriage for the sake of receiving federal benefits, we find really bizarre, rather arrogant, if I may say so,” said Kris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute.

Since Congress passed the law, eight states have approved gay marriage, including Massachusetts,

Hurd, owner of a local construction business and an active volunteer with the Franklin Outing Club and Lakes Region Snowmobile Club and Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield, involved in both government and civic activities.

The winner was Billy Hurd, who said simply “I just do it for the kids.’’

The Young Professional Award, which is new and is sponsored by MetroCast, goes to a person 25-39 years of age who demonstrates leadership and serves as a role model.

Nominees were Amanda Amidon; involved with several charities and event planning; Laura Brusseau, a high school teacher and founder of the Faith, Hope and Love Foundation; Joel Arsenault, who is active with Rotary, serves as a mentor to students and heads the Chamber’s Young Professionals Network, and Lindsay Cota-Robles, who works at the Bank of NH and is active as a volunteer with many organizations.

Arsenault won the award and said that it is very important for young people to be active in the community, noting that he tries to strike a balance between his family, with two young children, and his community involvement, The J. Bart Conners Award is named for the retired petroleum business executive who literally took Laconia by storm after retiring to the area in the 1970s according to Jim Rogato, who said that Conners helped found the Downtown Merchants Association and was virtually a one-man Chamber of Commerce for over a decade.

Nominees were Sandy Marshall, who led the effort to merge the Franklin and Laconia chambers; Prescott Towle, manager of the David & Towle Group in Franklin and active Chamber board member; Mark Edelstein, past president of Lakes Region Community College and Michael Seymour, Laconia mayor and past Chamber board member.

Marshall was the winner and said that she hopes that people will come to agree that ‘’the merger of the two chambers was the best thing that ever happened.’’ .

Connecticut, New York, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state and the District of Columbia. Maryland and Washington’s laws are not yet in effect and may be subject to referendums.

Last year, President Barack Obama announced that the Department of Justice would no longer defend the constitutionality of the law. After that, House Speaker John Boehner convened the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group to defend it. The legal group argued the case before the appeals court.

Nh2o clears some financial breathing room

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ALTON — Founders of Nh2o are breathing a sigh of relief after a public plea for help unleashed a wellspring of support for the fledgling spring water bottling company. Deanna O’Shaughnessy said yesterday the call for help, first in a mass e-mail and later in a newspaper article, resulted in contributions that will rescue the company from a looming foreclosure and restore the operation to a stable footing. She’s also heard from several parties interested in partnering with the company.

“We have had such wonderful response, it’s been really a amazing response,” said O’Shaughnessy.

“One day I got 13 envelopes, five of them from people I had never heard of before... Such a blessing, it’s been really amazing.”

The support saves company founders O’Shaughnessy, her husband Timothy Morgan and her sister Fae Kontje-Gibbs from facing a terrible irony. The trio started Nh2o as a means to provide a revenue source which would secure the future of the 300-acre Sunny Slope Farm, which had been a farm since the 18th Century and in O’Shaughnessy’s family since 1937. However, in order to raise startup capital for the venture, they leveraged the very property they were hoping to save.

Nh2o went into business in 2009. It soon became clear that starting the operation would cost significantly more than they had planned for. O’Shaughnessy said in a previous interview, “We were seriously under-capitalized. It cost a lot more to do everything than we anticipated.” A lack of cash meant no budget for measures such as marketing or obtaining licensure in states outside of New Hampshire. Although Nh2o’s product found some loyal customers, it never reached enough of them to generate the revenue necessary to cover costs. Ultimately, the lending bank contacted Nh2o to tell them that one line of extended credit, $53,000, would have to be re-paid by May 30 to avoid foreclosure. More far ranging debt could be rolled over into a long-term note.

O’Shaughnessy, not knowing where else to turn, put pride aside and decided to go public with her company’s situation. She received enough to cover the line of credit, as well as to pay off a property tax bill that was nearing arrears. In addition, four people contacted the company to discuss the possibility of a partnership.

O’Shaughnessy said the future of Nh2o requires further investment as well as additional business acumen. She also pledged to refuse any partnership that would jeopardize the land or which wouldn’t honor the many promises she’s made to neighbors and community members about the impact the operation could incur.

Most of the support Nh2o received came from liquidating Kontje-Gibbs’s savings and substantial gifts from two close friends. However, there were EDWARDS from page 2 for my sins,” Edwards said on the courthouse steps.

He also said he had hope for his future.

“I don’t think God’s through with me. I really believe he thinks there’s still some good things I can do.”

Edwards would have faced up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted of all charges. He did not testify, along with his mistress Rielle Hunter and the two donors whose money was at issue.

Jurors acquitted him on a charge of accepting illegal campaign contributions, involving $375,000 from elderly heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon in 2008.

He had also been charged with illegally accepting $350,000 from Mellon in 2007, other donations from wealthy Texas attorney Fred Baron, filing a false campaign finance report and conspiracy.

The jurors, who deliberated nine days, did not talk to the media as they left the courthouse. Several media organizations, including The Associated Press, have filed a motion asking for the names to be released but the judge has refused to release the information for at least a week.

Federal prosecutors are unlikely to retry the case, a law enforcement official told AP on the condition of anonymity because the decision will undergo review

dozens of more supporters, some old friends and many who’ve never made their acquaintance, who sent checks ranging from $53 to $1,200. Often, they were accompanied by notes such as “don’t give up,” and “we believe in you.”

“We were in tears half the time,” O’Shaughnessy said about the past weeks. “Those $53 checks, they were so heartening, so uplifting to our spirits.” The encouragement came during a time that O’Shaughnessy described as “harrowing.” “We were very frightened of losing our home.”

“We are so grateful for the support of the community. It teaches us a huge lesson. The community comes together, you don’t have to stand on pride. The community wants to help... We feel humbled and very overwhelmed.”

in the coming days.

The case was thrown into confusion earlier Thursday after observers filled the courtroom expecting to hear a verdict on all six counts. Jurors had sent a note to U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Eagles, reading, “we have finished our deliberations and have arrived at our decision on counts one through six.”

But when the jury came into court, the foreman said jurors only had a decision on one count. Eagles sent jurors back to deliberate. About an hour later, the jury sent another note saying it had exhausted its discussions.

When the not guilty verdict was read, Edwards choked up, put a single finger to his lip and took a moment to compose himself. He turned to his daughter, Cate, in the first row and smiled.

After Eagles declared a mistrial and discharged the jury, Edwards hugged his daughter, his parents and his attorneys. Later, he thanked the jury and his family, even choking up when talking about the daughter he had with his mistress Rielle Hunter.

He called Frances Quinn Hunter precious “whom I love, more than any of you can ever imagine and I am so close to and so, so grateful for. I am grateful for all of my children.”

MEMORIAL from page one or Intervale Road merges with Route 11-A or Cherry Valley Road at two places with a single “Y” shaped intersection. The grassy area inside the triangle would house a flagpole and a small memorial to the people who have served on the town’s police and fire departments.

“There is a stong willingness to look at that intersection,” said state transportation Atty. Kevin O’Neill yesterday. “The DOT is willing to work with the town as long as it poses no safety hazard.”

Memorial Triangle is the brainchild of Selectman John O’Brien who first broached the idea with his fellow selectmen on June 22, 2011. Minutes show his idea was to move the utility pole in the middle of the grassy area and erect a “landmark” flagpole on the same spot. He had hoped to have it ready for the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

At the time O’Brien estimated the flagpole would cost about $3,000 and at its next meeting the board voted to start a fund-raising campaign. According to Town Administrator Scott Dunn, to date the town has raised close to the $3,000 mark.

But what started as a simple flagpole became mired in a swamp of state regulations and DOT safety and right-of-way issues that played out in a series of back and forth e-mails between Dunn, O’Neill and District III engineer Mark Morrill.

The town initially applied for a driveway permit that the state denied. The seemingly logjam came to a head in early July of 2011 when the town decided it would appeal the DOT decision to deny the driveway permit. When FairPoint agreed to erect a new utility pole in the wooded area outside the triangle, selectmen backed off their appeal and the two sides reached a kind of detente in October when they voted unanimously not to appeal, their goal of the

new utility pole realized.

Dunn said the new pole is installed but FairPoint has yet to move the wires.

Since that time, progress toward the park has slowed if not stopped.

“We’re not opposed to a memorial or a flagpole but there are a lot of different aspects that we want to make work for everybody,” Morrill said, Tuesday. He also said the DOT is in favor of a redesigned “T” intersection with one egress onto Route 11 A and would support the elimination of the merging lane.

Paramount among Morrill concerns to doing anything to the patch of grass is safety. He said the state, which has control through easements to the municipally-owned patch of land because it is bracketed on all three sides by state highways, want easy turn distances, adequate sight lines and proper drainage.

“We also don’t want a flagpole too close to the highway,” he said. Morrill also said there are some drainage issues in the general area that have to be addressed should their be a redesign of the triangle.

Selectmen know about the drainage issues and agreed on October 26 to tacitly spend about $8,000 to get some engineering work done on the intersection.

At their next meeting selectmen authorized Dunn to contract with Paul Fluet of Fluet Engineering to do the engineering at a cost not to exceed $9,200.

Dunn said Wednesday the contract was signed on November 30, 2011 and the town has spent $5,400 to date. Fluet was chosen because his company did some of the original work and he had access to many of the previous sewer and drainage files.

Morrill was unaware that the town had hired an engineer.

There’s also a legal wrangling about who actually owns the property. According to O’Neill, the town see next page Faith Alive Christian Fellowship Phone (603) 273-4147 www.faithalivenh.org

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, June 1, 2012— Page 13

CLUB from page one sufficient food and, above all, using or allowing the premises to be used for an illegal purpose.

Detective Adam Fanjoy of Drug Task Force , who directed the investigation, said during Motorcycle Week a person who offered to sell drugs to an undercover officer suggested they meet at Mardi Gras, where he said he met his supplier. The deal touched off a four month investigation marked by a number of controlled buys of prescription drugs, marijuana and cocaine, some but not all of which were closed at the club.

Director of Enforcement, Eddie Edwards, began by noting that some of the charges, especially those arising from the use and sale of illicit drugs, are “very serious” and said that the business “placed the town, the state and the community at risk.” Drew, he claimed, made no effort and showed no interest in complying with the law and was “unqualified to run a licensed establishment.”

Representing Drew, Laconia attorney David Bownes countered that there is no evidence that the management was involved or aware of any of the drug transactions. Instead, he said that agents of Drug Task Force targeted specific individuals and made controlled purchases at the club and other locations.

Three major issues emerged from the first day of the hearing.

First, the commission challenges the propriety of the relationship between Drew, the holder of the license, and Autumn Ylvisaker, who managed the club, claiming that he is responsible for the violations despite not handling the day-to-day operations. Second, the commission charges that the management and employees of the club engaged in drug trafficking while Drew concedes only that the club, like many other bars and restaurants, simply served as an opportune meeting place for individuals selling and buying drugs. Finally, Drew disputes the validity and gravity of most of the alleged violations of the liquor laws.

Questioned by Edwards, Drew explained that he from preceding page owns the area inside the triangle but the state holds a right-of-way. “If they close off one of the roads it is no longer DOT authority,” he said.

O’Neill echoed Morrill when he said the state has no issues with a flagpole or a memorial but would not want to see anything built there that would be a distraction to drivers or become a “people” park.

He also said the “T” intersection is preferable to the

Teams of runners from local police departments carried the torch to Concord and will bring it to Durham at mid-morning today for a ceremony marking the start of the N.H. Special Olympics. The torch run has raised over $2 million since it was started in 1985 by former Wolfeboro Police Chief Stan Stevens and is expected to raise another quarter of a million dollars this year.

had operated and leased the business for 21 years when in 2010, with serious concerns for his health, he chose to enter a management contract with Mardi Gras, owner of a number of nightclubs and restaurants headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts. Under the agreement, Mardi Gras paid Drew $60,000, which covered the mortgage, taxes and maintenance for the property. Meanwhile, Drew kept the liquor license for the operation.

Edwards stressed and Drew conceded that he failed to formally seek and obtain the approval of

DOT as it is to Gilford but it is not a project that would rank in size so as to appear on one of the state’s long-range capital programs.

Morrill said it would be of “small, local improvement” and was not big enough to impact the state transportation budget.

“We’ll have to find the money for it somehow if and when we get to that point and we’ll be working with the town to do that,” he said.

the Liquor Commission for this arrangement. After a year, Mardi Gras withdrew from the agreement for want of sufficient profits and Drew entered a similar arrangement with Ylvisaker, who managed the operation for Mardi Gras and arranged to retain the trade name.

Drew insisted that when he operated the club he was “adamant about drugs,” recalling that he immediately fired an employee suspected of drug use.

“I have not and will not put up with drug use,” he declared. He said he expected the same of Ylvisaker, who he described as good manager.

Asked by Bownes when, prior to October 2011, the club was last cited for a violation, Drew replied “it’s been years. I can’t remember,” then conceded that annual food sales fell short of the required $75,000.

He said that Ylvisaker provided him with weekly reports, including financial data, and he visited the club, which is across Kimball Road from his home, “regularly.” He insisted that he neither witnessed nor heard of drug sales at the club. see next page

from preceding page Shauna Martin, one of the five dancers arrested last October, told the commission that prior to Motorcycle Week in 2011 Ylvisaker met with the employees to advise them that undercover law enforcement officers would likely be in the club and cautioned them against doing anything against the law. “It sounded like she knew what was going on,” she said, referring to the drug sales, “but she may not have known for a fact.”

When Martin said that drug deals were closed discreetly and, apart from the controlled sales she made with undercover officers, she never observed a transaction, Bownes asked if the dancers hid their sales for fear of being fired. “Kind of,” she answered. However, contrary to Drew’s claims that rules intended to ensure that employees complied with the law were strictly enforced, Martin said that “the rules were never like actual rules because they changed every day. You could walk in and be completely surprised by what the rules were.”

Fanjoy testified that none of his conversations with Ylvisaker indicated that she was aware of drug dealing in the club. He said that the dancers engaging the controlled sales “were all pretty discreet about it, trying to hide it. However, he said that Sherry Barnhart, one of the dancers, told him that Ylvisa-

ker knew she was dealing drugs, but apart from that he had no evidence that management was involved or aware of the trafficking. When police searched the club, Fanjoy said, drugs were found only in the lockers and purses as well as on the persons of the five dancers and not anywhere else on the premises.

Several witnesses spoke of violations of the liquor laws. Martin said that during a private dance, one intoxicated patron “bit me twice and grabbed my boob really hard” before being ushered from the club. Fanjoy said that he observed drunken customers passed out , one at a table and another in the parking lot. But, pressed by Bownes no one recalled seeing an intoxicated patron served with alcohol.

Martin said and Fanjoy confirmed that the dancers regularly drank during their working hours, a violation of the law, as well as proffered free drinks to undercover officers, another violation. Detective Stephen Lee of the Drug Task Force, who wrote much of the report that led the Liquor Commission seek revocation of Drew’s license, said it was “commonplace” for dancers to drink, but acknowledged he never saw an intoxicated person served alcohol.

“How many incidents are required for a violation?”

Edwards asked Lee. “One,” he replied.

Tigers pepper Beckett, take final game of series, 7-3 BOSTON (AP) — Max Scherzer and Delmon Young helped the Detroit Tigers head home on a positive note.

Scherzer pitched into the seventh inning, Young homered and the Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 7-3 on Thursday night to avoid a four-game series sweep.

Detroit went 10-14 during a grueling stretch of 19 of 24 on the road and return home to open a three-game series against the New York Yankees on Friday night.

“Going on the road sometimes is a good thing for the bonding aspect, but it will be nice to get back to Comerica (Park)” Scherzer said. “We didn’t want to get swept.”

Scherzer (5-3) retired nine consecutive batters before Nick Punto led off the seventh with a walk, forcing the right-hander from the game after 117 pitches. He allowed three runs and seven hits in his third consecutive victory, closing out a strong May. “We just let him off the hook,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. “Heck, we had his pitch count up in the 80s after four innings and we were having good at-bats. Just kind of let it slip away.”

Young hit a solo drive in the eighth to make it 5-3, then added a run-scoring single in the ninth.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his 10th homer for

Boston, which was seeking its first four-game sweep against the Tigers since 2004. Josh Beckett (4-4) allowed four runs and a season-high 10 hits in seven innings.

The Red Sox opened May with eight losses in nine games to drop to 12-19 on the year. But they closed out the month with a 14-6 run to pull within three of the division lead.

Young and Quintin Berry each had three hits for Detroit, which finished with 14 overall. Berry also scored two runs and stole two bases.

“I got back to playing my game tonight on the bases,” Berry said.

Saltalamacchia connected in the second inning, and Scott Podsednik doubled in Ryan Sweeney to make it 2-0. Detroit responded with three runs in the third, capped by Prince Fielder’s two-out RBI single.

Saltalamacchia tied it with a two-out RBI single in bottom half. But the Tigers grabbed the lead for good when Miguel Cabrera singled in Berry in the fifth.

Beckett had allowed three runs in 21 2-3 innings over his previous three starts, but he struggled once again with the Tigers. He gave up seven runs, including five home runs, in 4 2-3 innings on opening day in Detroit.

Relaxed Bush steals the show at White House ‘hanging’ WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s Barack Obama’s house now, but his predecessor and political foil, George W. Bush, stole the show at the White House on Thursday with his wisecracks and grin.

“Thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging,” the former president said, referring to members of his family and former staff, invited back to the executive mansion for the unveiling of his and Laura Bush’s official portraits. “Behave yourselves,” he jokingly admonished his crowd.

Bush told the current president he was pleased to know “that when you are wandering these halls as you wrestle with tough decisions, you will now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask, ‘What would George do?’”

Free from the stress of the presidency and after

three years spent largely out of the spotlight, a relaxed and jovial Bush came back with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, for a rare gathering of three commanders in chief. Former first lady Barbara Bush was there, too, as were George W. and Laura’s daughters, Jenna and Barbara.

While Bush, Obama and their wives spoke about the warmth between their families, there was little of that on display between the two presidents. They traded handshakes but no hugs. There was little casual small talk as they entered and exited the East Room or as they stood on stage together.

“We may have our differences politically, but the presidency transcends those differences,” Obama said.

STATE SCHOOL from page one tion technology. The House refused to concur with the Senate amendment and added one of its own to restructure the circuit court system.

When the conferees met earlier this week, the House members asked for all or nothing, insisting that both amendments, the appropriation and the restructuring, be adopted or both be jettisoned.

When the conferees remained at loggerheads yesterday the entire bill, including the language on the state school property, was shelved.

With the demise of HB-1205, the provision in the budget prevails. It prescribes that the property must be offered to the city for $10-million and, if the offer is not accepted by July 1, it be offered to Belknap County for its fair market value — which at the time was thought by lawmakers to be more. If by August 15, 2012 the county has not accepted the offer, the Department of Administrative Services must put the property on the open market at not less than its fair market value with the proviso that it must be sold by May 1, 2013. Moreover, the process prescribed by RSA 4:40 would not apply to the transac-

tion, which would require only the approval of the governor and Executive Council.

City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who has managed the city’s effort to acquire the property, said yesterday that the failure of the legislation could prove to the city’s advantage. He doubted that the county would bid for the property and said that because a portion of the site is beset with environmental contamination, it is unlikely to attract a private purchaser. Moreover, two nearby properties, both more suited to immediate development, have languished on the real estate market for years. He suggested that the city is only interested party in a position to purchase the property in time to meet the specified deadline and that the city’s offer matches the state’s appraisal, which is the best measure of fair market value.

WOW Trail board of directors launches 2012 Community Survey LACONIA — The WOW Trail Board of Directors is planning a 2012 Community Survey. In an effort to collect community support and input about the WOW Trail in Laconia, the board will be asking trail users, local residents and business owners to participate in a 21-question survey now available online.

The survey will be available until Saturday July 14 at www.wowtrail.org The survey assesses the trail’s variety of users, the public’s experience on the trail and the level of public support for the WOW Trail. The data is valuable information to potential donors and grant makers for the

WOW Trail to continue development and fundraising for the Phase 2 WOW Trail extension.

Those who would like to join in this effort can participate by logging on to WOWTrail.org to take the survey today. Upon completion of the survey, participants will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a WOW Trail Fleece Vest and a $25 gift certificate courtesy of Patrick’s Pub and Eatery in Gilford.

Three winners will be chosen.

Through the recent partnership with Jodie Gallant, owner of JMG Marketing, the WOW Trail successfully completed a 30-day trail user count with

over 45 community volunteers. JMG Marketing has now launched the Community Survey through SurveyMonkey.com, the survey is available on the WOWTrail.org website, facebook.com/WOWTrail, and will be emailed through partnership with many local affiliate organizations.

With the first 1.3 miles of the WOW Trail in its second year; the WOW Trail Board of Directors is now working on designing Phase 2 which will double the existing trail. Phase 2 will connect Downtown Laconia at North Main Street to the Belmont town line. A short section of bike trail already exists at the Belmont town line and Route 3. The City of Laconia built this short section of trail in anticipation of connecting the Laconia WOW Trail and the Town of Belmont’s own B.R.A.T.T. (Belmont Recreational Alternative Trail Team) trail.

The WOW Trail is a proposed multi-use, non-motorized recreational pathway in the City of Laconia. The proposed pathway is just over 9 miles long, stretching the length of the city to the Meredith and Belmont town lines.

The WOW Trail will be constructed adjacent to the railroad tracks used by the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad. For more information on WOW Trail organization contact the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce 524-5531 or www.wowtrail.org

Unusual stand of 400 year-old black gum trees conserved in Sandwich

SANDWICH — Every so often, landowners joyfully discover natural treasures on their land as a result of their work with the Forest Society. Such was the case when sisters Rachel Boyden, Rebecca Boyden, and Jennifer Kampsnider learned of the 400+ year-old black gum trees in the most distant corner of their family’s land in Sandwich and Tamworth.

The stand’s location at the most northerly extent of this tree’s range adds to its importance. The sisters’ awe, delight, and surprise contributed to their decision to donate a conservation easement to the Forest Society, protecting this and other significant features of their 158-acre Tree Farm straddling the Sandwich/Tamworth town line.

This diverse property also includes fields kept open for views and wildlife, wetlands, and more than a mile of undeveloped road frontage. Water quality is also well served by the location of this parcel. The headwaters of Mill Brook, on which the Forest Society has protected many other properties, lie just to the east. To the southwest are the headwaters of the Cold River, documented as having the highest water quality of all the waterways feeding into Ossipee Lake.

At a landscape scale, this land sits squarely within a priority corridor having “Whites-to-Ossipees Wildlife Connectivity” as identified by the Tamworth and Sandwich Conservation Commissions and endorsed by the Forest Society and others. This land is close to other conserved parcels, including conservation easements donated to the Forest Society by the Nye and Daniels families.

In addition to the black gum trees, another surprise for the sisters was learning that their late mother had requested and received information

about conservation easements from the Forest Society some 14 years earlier. Reaching farther back in time, the sisters’ family has owned this land off and on dating back to the late 1700s, when their ancestor Silas Fry built his homestead on the site.

The walled “Fry Burying Ground” on the town line marks the family’s early commitment to this land.

Spanning the centuries, the sisters’ recent gift has honored those who came before.

GILFORD — Today Granite State Kids, a not for profit Community Tennis Association under the USTA, announced the formation of both a 14 and Under Junior Tennis Team and an 18 and under Junior Tennis Team.

Both of these teams will be targeting intermediate and advanced players. For a player to be considered intermediate they must be able to get 5 out of 10 serves in, know how to keep score and hit 3 out of 4 balls back into play when the balls are directed to them.

Coaching the teams will be Barbara Aichinger, who is on the USTA New Hampshire board and a long-time USTA Adult league player. Coach Aichinger is currently seeking an assistant coach.

“Granite State Kids has a great program in the southern part of New Hampshire with teams from the Seacoast, Sunapee and Manchester areas” says Aichinger. “We would like to see more teams from

the Lakes Region join in the fun”.

Practices will be once a week in the Gilford area and matches will be on Thursdays in either Manchester or Bedford. Matches will be doubleheaders so kids get ample opportunity to play. The format of the team is five positions. Boys and Girls Singles, Boys and Girls Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

The season runs from the weeks of June 25 to August 9. Winning teams can advance to the State Championships, New England Championships and even the National Championships. In 2011 the Lakes Region 18U team took the state’s runner up title.

Registration forms can be found at www.GraniteStateKids.com. The cost is $165 per player and includes USTA Membership, team shirt, weekly coached practices, weekly match play, and balls.

Interested players and their parents should contact the coaches at TennisNH@comcast.net or call 548-5037.

LACONIA — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s Meredith Campus will be filled with the sound of music this summer. Not only that, there’s bound to be some drama, creativity and a whole lot of laughter as the Playhouse builds on its popular summer theatre camp offerings.

In addition to offering six themed weeks of camp for children entering grades K-6, the Playhouse is offering a new musical theatre program for teens, allowing students entering grades 7-12 the opportunity to stage a full-scale musical. This will be followed by three one-week offerings of “Summer Theatre Academy” giving teens the opportunity to get in-depth training in the styles of some famous theatre practitioners.

This year’s theme for elementary and middle schoolers will be “From the Page to the Stage”. Campers will use the works of famous children’s book authors as the jumping off point for their creativity.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis that order. Today, a good friend teaches you to befriend yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The adrenaline rush of romance isn’t always related to another person. Today, you could just as easily fall in love with an idea, activity or story. Whatever your focus, the sensation will be sweet.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

If you’re being offered a grim or simply uninspiring array of choices, refuse to choose. Walk out. There are better choices somewhere else.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The attainment of lightweight goals provides little reward. Insurmountable goals can never be attained, so what’s the point? Deep satisfaction comes from aiming for what’s substantial and doable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This isn’t a game show. You have the right to change your decision. It’s easier to do when you don’t fully commit to any option in the first place. Keep your schedule and your mind open.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The authority figures might be just as clueless as the ones they are trying to manage or lead. Your answer is as good as anyone’s and probably a lot better, so trust yourself.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 1). Life is a flow, and you’re moving along with it better than ever this year. An act of surrender will bring you a bit of magic this month. You’ll make important decisions in July affecting where and how you live. Practice and training are featured in September. October investments reap rewards in February. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 5, 31, 24 and 15.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some say that security is illusory, and that it doesn’t exist on this earth at all. Still, to feel safe is a basic human need. You will supply a feeling of safety to another person to whatever degree you possibly can.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Unlike the relationships portrayed in the media, the real issues between people usually can’t be resolved within a halfhour episode. But today’s case might be an exception. It actually could be just that simple.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be inspired by someone else’s journey, and it makes you want to go out and try harder. Ask for help or maybe even some kind of sign to point you in the right direction. The communication lines are open.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There is such a thing as expressing emotions way too vividly. Your heart goes out to the one whose feelings are amplified and on display. You’ll have a calming, stabilizing effect on this person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your opportunity radar is in full swing. Consider your past mistakes, as they hold the clues you need to make the most of what’s being presented. You’ll find solutions where none existed before.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll get a head start on a situation, but don’t rely on your advantage. Remember the tortoise and the hare. Don’t run so fast that you burn out and need a nap. Pace yourself and avoid distraction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some say that friendship with yourself is needed before you can be friends with anyone else. But it doesn’t always go in

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, June 1, the 153rd day of 2012. There are 213 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 1, 1912, Paramount Pictures had its beginnings as Adolph Zukor incorporated the Famous Players Film Co., which later merged with the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Co. On this date: In 1792, Kentucky became the 15th state of the union.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, June 1, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a freshman in high school, and my older brother, “Adam,” is a junior. Although I wouldn’t consider myself popular, I have a great group of friends.

Recently, I noticed that Adam is flirting on Facebook with a girl in my grade. For the most part, it’s innocent and playful, but it makes me beyond uncomfortable. This girl brags a lot about drinking and being sexually active.

Adam is a smart kid with a bright future ahead of him. I don’t want him involved with this girl, even if it seems innocent right now. To be honest, I think he’s using her because of her loose reputation, and I’ve lost respect for him. How do I confront him about it without getting into an argument?

I want him to know how uncomfortable it makes me feel.

I’d like to tell my parents, but I don’t want to be a tattletale.

Should I just mind my own business? -- Unhappy in Omaha Dear Omaha: Some insecure girls intentionally cultivate a loose reputation in order to attract guys, and it is not unusual for high school boys to find that enticing. Talk to Adam. Tell him that his interest in this girl makes you question his integrity, and you hope he won’t use her to satisfy his sexual needs.

Let him know it’s not only her reputation that is at stake. And point out that there is also a good possibility that any high school junior or senior boy who has sex with this girl could be charged with a crime because she is underage. It hardly seems worth risking his future. That said, let’s hope his interest in her is purely for the sake of friendship.

Dear Annie: Last week, I received a fancy wedding invitation. The next day, the bride emailed, saying she hoped I could attend and is looking forward to seeing me at the wedding. Then she added that she hopes I don’t mind watching all the little kids at the ceremony and reception.

The bride is in great shape financially. Is it to be expected in this economy that one could be invited to a wedding only to

provide a service? How should I respond? -- Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Even if you babysit for a living, the bride was terribly rude to invite you with the assumption that you should take on this responsibility. You have four choices: You can say yes to her proposition. You can say yes, but quote your fee for babysitting or tell her that it will be your wedding gift to the couple. You can turn down the invitation. You can accept the invitation, but tell the bride that you are not available to babysit -- in which case, please couch it in language that says you wouldn’t want to miss a moment of the event because you were distracted by the children.

Dear Annie: I totally agree with Judy Hou, who is trying to get readers involved with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

We were taught in pharmacy law class that certain medications are classified by their potential for abuse and risk of physical or psychological dependence. Schedule 1 drugs have a high potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medicinal use and lack safety information. Drugs in this category include heroin and LSD. Schedules 2-5 also have potential for abuse and dependence, but have accepted medicinal uses.

These include Oxycontin, Percocet and Valium.

I believe that nicotine should be included as a Schedule 1 substance and be declared illegal. Unfortunately, politics will prevent this from happening, and we will have to continue to encourage our youth to make intelligent decisions regarding cigarettes, drug and alcohol use. I am very thankful that Florida has many smoke-free places to eat and work. -- A Florida Pharmacist Dear Pharmacist: Making a substance illegal will not prevent people from abusing it. While we understand your position, we are certain to hear from a great many readers who disagree with your solution.
