Parks Commission asked to host return of circus

BY MIKE MORTENSEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA – The city Parks and Recreation Department is being asked to sponsor the return of the big-top circus to Laconia this summer.

The proposal was made Monday evening by Don Vachon, who was the lead organizer of the circus last summer when its appearance was spon-

sored by the local American Legion Post.

Speaking at the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Vachon said Wilkins-Smith Post 1 has decided not to sponsor any appearance this year by the Kelly Miller Circus. But Vachon told the commission the Oklahoma-based circus annually includes in its schedule about 40 stops where some

of the proceeds go to parks and recreation programs in communities on the circus’s tour.

Vachon said he was willing to handle the bulk of the organizing if the Parks and Recreation Department would be the actual sponsor for circus shows on July 6-8. He said the Parks and Recreation Department could potentially receive $9,000 from the event. “I think

it is a chance to get extra funds,” he said.

The parks commissioners said they were interested in looking into the proposal further, but made no commitment. The commissioners directed Vachon to provide Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunleavy with a copy of the circus contract. They said they wanted to hear from the see CIRCUS page 10

Plans underway to relocate osprey from high-voltage nesting site

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A pair of nesting osprey, having recently returned from their tropical winter home, found what seemed to them a great place to build a nest. The bird of prey prefers defoliated dead trees – “snags” – which stand relatively alone on

the landscape. However, the place where this pair began last week to build the nest wasn’t a bona fide snag. Their nest is being constructed atop a Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) utility pole located off North Main Street.

The large nest puts PSNH in a difficult situation. Constructed of dead branches

and debris, it could catch fire or cause a disruption in power service. However, the return of ospreys in New Hampshire represents a conservationist’s success story — after being decimated by the use of agricultural insecticide DDT, the osprey population has seen consistent and wellsee OSPREY page 14

28-year-old S. Dak. man suing hospital, circumcision as an infant ‘robbed’ him

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota prison inmate is suing the hospital where he was circumcised as a newborn, saying he only recently became aware that he’d undergone the procedure and that it robbed him of his sexual prowess.

Dean Cochrun, 28, is asking for $1,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. He also asks in the lawsuit that his foreskin be restored “in the hopes I could feel whole again,” though he acknowledged that he didn’t expect such a restoration to be anything more than aesthetic.

Cochrun, who is imprisoned in Sioux Falls on a kidnapping conviction, filed the federal lawsuit Friday against Sanford Hospital. Cochrun claims that an “unknown doctor” at the then-named Sioux Valley Hospital misled his mother to believe that the procedure was medically necessary. Cochrun argues that the procedure was unnecessary, unethical and without medical benefit.

U.S. Military personnel also involved in prostitution scandal that enveloped Secret Service agents on assignment in Columbia WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. military officer said Monday the nation’s military leadership is embarrassed by allegations of misconduct against at least 10 U.S. military members at a Colombia hotel on the eve of President Barack Obama’s visit over the weekend.

“We let the boss down,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon news conference. He said he regretted that the scandal, which also involved 11 Secret

Service agents accused of cavorting with prostitutes at the hotel, diverted attention from Obama’s diplomacy at a Latin America summit.

“I can speak for myself and my fellow chiefs: We’re embarrassed by what occurred in Colombia, though we’re not sure exactly what it is,” Dempsey added.

Pentagon officials said earlier Monday that the number of military members involved in the scandal appears to be greater than the five originally cited. One senior defense

official said that at least 10 military members may have been involved. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation.

Pentagon press secretary George Little said that military members who are being investigated were assigned to support the Secret Service in preparation for Obama’s official visit to Cartagena. He said they were not directly involved in presidential security.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The General Services Administration inspector general said Monday that he’s investigating possible bribery and kickbacks in the agency, as a central figure in a GSA spending scandal asserted his right to remain silent at a congressional hearing.

Inspector general Brian Miller, responding to a question at the hearing, said, “We do have other ongoing investigations,

including all sorts of improprieties, including bribes, including possible kickbacks.”

Jeffrey Neely, who asserted his Fifth Amendment privilege, has been placed on leave as a regional executive in Western states.

Neely, summoned before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, could face a criminal investigation by the Justice Department — where his case was referred by the inspector general.

Neely was largely responsible for an $823,000 Las Vegas conference in 2010 that was the focus of Miller’s report. Three other congressional committees also are looking at the conference spending and a culture of waste at the agency in charge of federal buildings and supplies “Mr. chairman, on advice of counsel I decline to answer based on my consee GSA page 10

51-45 U.S. Senate majority says no to ‘Buffet rule’ on income taxes

Barack Obama on one of his signature election-year issues.

By a near party-line 51-45 tally, senators voted to keep the bill alive but fell nine votes short of the 60 needed to continue debating the measure. The anti-climactic

Texas teen driver charged with murder after 9 illegal immigrants killed in crash of minivan PALMVIEW, Texas (AP) — A 15-year-old South Texas boy charged with nine counts of murder after he crashed a minivan packed with illegal immigrants, killing nine of them, cried and expressed remorse before a judge Monday, police said.

The boy, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, appeared at a probable cause hearing at a juvenile detention facility. He was also charged with 17 counts of smuggling of a person causing serious bodily injury or death, and one count of evading.

Border Patrol agents pulled over the van last Tuesday night about 10 miles west of McAllen. As it stopped, one person jumped from the vehicle and ran. When agents pursued him the van sped off. It crashed just a few blocks away scattering a parking lot with bodies, backpacks and water bottles. The driver escaped, but was arrested two days later at his home.

Palmview Police worked with agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations to arrest six people suspected of involvement in the smuggling operation on charges related to harboring illegal immigrants. At least four of the six crash survivors were detained as material witnesses.

Through interviews with them they found the teen driver, said Palmview police Chief Chris Barrera.

“He wanted to come clean so he came out and gave us a statement,” Barrera said. “He explained to us exactly what had happened, what he had done.”

Palmview Detective Saul Uvalle, who attended the probable cause hearing, said the teen told the judge that if he didn’t drive the van they were going to kill his family. Uvalle said the teen didn’t say who “they” were. “He was very remorseful of what happened,” Uvalle said.

State prosecutors can pursue the felony murder charges because the deaths occurred during the commission of a felony, in this case evading Border Patrol. A judge will eventually decide whether the boy will be tried as an adult.

Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra said he planned to petition a judge to certify the boy so he can be tried as an adult.

“I’m going to be as aggressive as the law allows,” Guerra said.

According to a federal complaint filed last week, two suspects admitted after their arrests to participating in the smuggling of the illegal immigrants involved in the crash and those in the stash house.

One said he was offered $40 per passenger to drive the van, but refused and instead put the 15-year-old in contact with the organization, the complaint says.

Guerra said that the adults involved must have understood the risks in getting a teenager with no driver’s license to undertake the job.

“When you have that kind of a situation where some people say that’s an accident, no, I’m sorry that’s not an ordinary accident,” Guerra said. “These see SMUGGLING page 10

Hot temps force Boston Marathoners to take it slow

BOSTON (AP) — There are races to run fast, and there are races just to finish. With temperatures hitting the 80s, Monday’s Boston Marathon was the latter.

Nearly 22,500 participants braved unseasonably balmy conditions at the 116th running of the storied 26.2 mile race. Organizers stocked extra water and pleaded with runners to slow their pace to avoid heat stroke. Some 4,300 participants registered to run opted to sit out.

“It was brutal, just brutally hot,” said 38-year-old runner Jason Warick of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, who took an ice bath before the race to cool his body.

“Around 15 miles the wheels just came off. Then it was just about getting home.”

Organizers said that as of Monday evening, just under 2,000 participants had received some level of medical attention, and about 120 were taken to hospitals in ambulances. One person was taken from the course in serious condition in Wellesley, though the details of their condition were unavailable Monday.

Medical volunteers scanned the finish line for runners displaying signs of heat stroke, assisting those in need to nearby medical tents. By mid-afternoon, dozens of wheelchairs carrying pale and weakened runners stretched outside the tents.

“I’ve never seen anything like (that),” said 35-yearold Desiree Ficker of Austin, Texas, who used salt supplements during the race to stay moving. “It was

really hard seeing the confusion on people’s faces.”

Organizers said careful preparation and responsible runners prevented more serious problems on what was one of the hottest marathons in Boston history.

Heat was also a problem in the 2004 marathon, when 2,041 of the 18,002 participants who started the race sought medical attention. That’s a higher percentage than any year in memory, according to organizers.

“This was the day we were preparing for,” said Thomas Grilk, executive director of the Boston Athletic Association. “The god of marathoning, she smiled on us.”

Temperatures prompted 30 additional physicians to volunteer at the last minute. Race organizers and volunteers pleaded with runners to put their safety ahead of their competitive drive.

“Today is not the day to run a personal best,” said Garth Savidge, rehab supervisor at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, who was helping runners before the race. “Everybody is being a little extra cautious.”

Organizers said the highest temperature recorded Monday during the marathon was 89 degrees in Framingham at 12:30 p.m.

Registered runners who decided not to run because of the heat will be given an opportunity to see MARATHON page 12

How To Buy the WRONG LongTerm Care Policy

By Dave Kutcher Have you ever noticed that Insurance Companies make up difficult words for simple ideas?

For instance, long-term care policies use the word “ambulating” for the word walking. Why would anyone focus on such a small matter? Because these words can mean the difference between collecting on a policy and not collecting on it! If you don’t understand the fine print or have an advisor who does, you could be left out in the cold.

For example, a highly rated long-term care company agrees to pay benefits when the insured cannot perform two out of six “activities of daily living.” However, their list does not include ambulating (walking).

This means that the insured may not be able to walk, but would also need a failure in two additional activities of daily living in order to collect benefits. Such a policy makes it difficult to collect for the insured or requires that the insured be more disabled before he or she can collect benefits.

Other policies contain features that reduce the benefits you can receive. For example, some policies require that you pay the first 90 days of care (this would be $13,500 at a hypothetical $150/day) each time you enter a period of long-term care. For someone who has two or three bouts of needing such assistance, it could cost $13,500 for each period of care. (Most new policies sold today do not operate this way, but older policies, sold 15-20 years ago, ready to start paying benefits today, do!)

Some policies limit the benefits paid by the day.

Others set the limit by the week. The latter policy is better for the insured, particularly when home care is considered. It’s possible that someone receiving home care has a need for four days per week of care that costs $150 per day. If the policy had a $100 per day limitation, the insured is left to pay the other $50 per day for each of the four days. If instead, a policy has a limit of $600 per week, then the policy would absorb the entire cost.

Lessons Learned What’s the lesson here? You will never know everything you need to know to make the right decisions about long-term care policies. You need to get the right advice from an expert on which policy can really be of some benefit to you. In fact many seniors today, or maturing adults, really may have no need at all for a policy. Lets’ face it; if you can self insure there is probably not a need for a policy. If you are economically challenged the state does have a safety net. I would suggest that you meet with a professional who can compare policies and technical features and whether it makes sense for you to address these liabilities.

Next week I will continue my mini-series on longterm care planning with 94% of seniors having Inadequate Health Insurance.

Meredith one of many municipalities still talking about suit over House districts

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — After a second discussion about challenging the redistricting of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in court, the Board of Selectmen last night directed Town Manager Phil Warren to inquire of the New Hampshire Municipal Association what other municipalities are contemplating litigation.

Warren, who earlier this month was asked to contact the mayors of Manchester and Concord but has yet to hear from either, suggested approaching the NHMA. After Warren spoke with Scott Dunn, the Gilford town administrator, the Gilford selectmen considered the issue when they met last week, but took no action apart from tracking what steps the two cities and other town might take. Likewise, Joyce Fulweiler, town administrator in Tilton, advised Warren that the Tilton selectmen are inter-

ested in joining a suit and that she has contacted each of the 62 towns entitled to representation by the Constitution but denied it by the plan.

Meanwhile, the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen have authorized Mayor Ted Gatsas “to initiate a lawsuit regarding the State Redistricting Plan by either joining suit with Concord or filing suit on behalf of the City with the pro bono services of McLane Law Firm.” And the Concord City Council has asked the city solicitor to report on the prospects of litigation at its next meeting.

“There are 62 communities sitting around waiting for someone to make a decision,” said Selectman Peter Brothers. “It’s confusing and it’s not bringing out the best of any of us.”

Peter Millham of Gilford, who briefed the Gilford selectmen last week, explained how the redistricting plan would affect Meredith. According to the 2010 Census, the ideal population for each of the 400 seats

in the House is 3,291. With a population of 7,126, Gilford qualifies for two representatives, leaving an excess population of 544, which represents a deviation from the ideal of 7.6-percent. Meredith, with 6,241 people, qualifies for one seat, but falls 341 people, or 5.4-percent, short of qualifying for two seats.

The redistricting plan addresses what the House Special Redistricting Committee took to be excessive deviations by combining Gilford and Meredith in one district that would elect four representatives at-large, all of whom could be returned by either town, leaving the other without a representative.

Millham said that the Legislature feared that deviation greater than plus or minus 10-percent would lead the federal government to reject the plan. However, he said that the federal courts have accepted “reasonable” and “substantial” deviations, particularly to satisfy a constitutional provision.

“There is some urgency here,” Millham told the board, explaining that candidates will be filing for the September primary and November election in June.

Selectman Herb Vadney said the choice appeared to be “go it alone or tie it up with the big guys.” Without some idea of the process, cost, timing and what other towns would be parties to litigation, he doubted the board was in a position to make a decision.

Although resident Jim Hughes suggested “team with Gilford and get started,” the board unanimously adopted Vadney’s motion instructing Warren to contact the NHMA and continue sounding other municipalities.

NOTES: Town Manager Phil Warren reminded the Selectboard that the Energy Committee will be hosting a workshop, Energy Sense, for the public on Wednesday, April 18, at the Community Center, beginning at 7 p.m. when the Meredith Energy Hanbook will be presented. . . . . . The Selectboard, at Warren’s recommendation, agreed to request that MetroCast Cablevision dedicate two of the three available PEG (public, educational and government) channels exclusively to programming by the town for subscribers in the town of Meredith. The Gilford selectmen made the same request last week. The other members of the Lakes Region Cable Television Consortium — Laconia, Franklin, Alton, Belmont, Gilmanton New Durham, Northfield and Tilton — are expected to follow suit. . . . . . The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) will pave 1.5 miles of U.S. Route 3, from NH Route 25 northward to the Center Harbor town line. At the request of the selectmen, Warren agreed to advise the DOT to avoid scheduling the work on the busiest summer weekends. . . . . .The Greater Meredith Program, in partnership with Northway Bank, plan to landscape, plant and maintain “in perpetuity” the center of the roundabout at the junction of U.S. Route 3 and N.H. Route 106 (Parade Road). Warren described the plantings, which include shrubs and ground cover, as “a great improvement” undertaken at no cost to the town.

COLUMBIA from page one bers, a group including agents and uniformed officers, home from Colombia amid allegations that they had hired prostitutes at a Cartagena hotel. The military members being investigated were staying at the same hotel, Little said.

The Secret Service personnel were placed on administrative leave and on Monday the Secret Service announced that the agency had also revoked thier security clearances. That means they cannot enter Secret Service facilities or facilities guarded by the Secret Service, said agency spokesman Brian Leary.

Though on leave, the agents and officers will continue to be paid.

Appearing with Dempsey at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said U.S. troops are expected to abide by “the highest standards” of behavior whether they are at home or abroad. He noted that a military investigation is under way and promised that if wrongdoing is confirmed, “these individuals will be held accountable.”

Belmont selectmen going to think more about threshold for requiring private trash pick up

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Proposed changes in the town’s solid waste ordinance which would set a cutoff point of three dwelling units as the upper limit for trash pickups at apartment buildings by the town contracted provider — Waste Management — were tabled last night after a lengthy discussion at a public hearing.

Leading opposition to the changes, which would

require commercial trash pickups paid for by the property owners of developments with more than three units were George and Susan Condodemetraky, and Francis and Catherine Sweeney, who maintained that the changes were unfair and would greatly increase their costs.

Sweeney said that he had three rental units and an additional studio apartment and that it could cost him as much as $500 a month if he were required to have a dumpster available for his units. ‘’I’ve owned the buildings for 30 years and pay enough in taxes to have the town pick up the trash’’ said Sweeney, who said that in order to fall beneath the threshold for eligibility for town trash pickups he would have to close down the one-room apartment unit which has been rented for eight years to the same tenant.

Mark Condodemetraky said that he had been able to get only one estimate from the town’s four registered trash haulers for his family’s rental units and that was for $60 a month from Bestway. He said that the town should take the lack of available trash pickup services into account before passing a revised ordinance.

Selectman Ronald Cormier said the issue came down to whether there was a fair cutoff point for the proposed changes and noted that they affected 15 different property owners, and that eight of them had for years been paying for their own trash removal services, without protest.

Susan Condodemetraky said that the town hadn’t notified all of the property owners of the changes

from preceding page team that was assigned to support the Secret Service’s mission in Cartagena, declined to say how many additional service members are under investigation. He also would not say which branch of the military they were from.

“We are still putting together all the facts,” Malcom said.

A defense official in Washington said at least some of those under investigation are members of the Army. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under active investigation.

Malcom said a colonel from the Southern Command staff, whom he would not identify by name, had been sent to Cartagena to gather facts. He said at least five military members under investigation were being flown to Miami on Monday.

The U.S. Southern Command had announced on Saturday that five service members assigned to the presidential mission in Colombia had violated curfew and may have been involved in “inappropriate conduct.”

In a statement Saturday, Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, commander of Southern Command, said he was “disappointed by the entire incident” and that “this behavior is not in keeping with the professional standards expected of members of the United States military.”

made several years ago that required owners of multi-unit properties to provide for their own trash services and suggested that the number of units should be as high as 10, as it is Laconia, before the requirement takes effect.

She said that dumpsters were unsightly and unsanitary and would reduce available parking at multi-unit developments but Cormier noted there was no requirement for dumpsters, only that trash service be provided.

Town Administrator Jean Beaduin said that the town ordinance was changed in 2005 because until that point townspeople had been picking up the tab for all commercial businesses.

She said that the town spent $339,000 in disposal fees at the Concord Solid Waste Co-op facility in Pembroke last year as well as $206,000 for trash collection to Waste Management.

Cormier said selectmen wanted an ordinance which would be fair to everyone and lamented the overwhelming defeat of a Pay-As-You-Throw proposal at town meeting in March.

Selectmen will study the list of all affected properties, 15 in all, to determine whether or not they will stick with the proposed three unit cutoff point.

The board also approved a request for a $12,000 for a Community Development Block Grant for a feasibility study for the Lakes Region Mobile Home Park Cooperative’s infrastructure system. Once the study is complete the study could serve as the basis for a grant of up to $500,000 for infrastructure improvements.

Bob Meade

Divided we fall Sam Houston, president of the Republic of Texas before it joined the Union, and then Governor of that state, first coined the phrase, “A Nation divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln used a variation of that statement when, during his run for a senate seat, said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

One would think that today’s leaders would still be guided by those words, said by two of our country’s historic giants. Sadly, such is not the case. The populace is being divided by gender, race, religion, and labor. And, our form of constitutional government is being routinely challenged.

We have leadership intentionally developing and implementing strategies designed to divide our citizenry, pitting one against the other, using tactics designed to get everyone to choose sides based on selfish self interests . . . and not necessarily what’s good for the country.

So how is the country, the citizenry, being divided?

Gender - Religion: A made up “War against women” based on the premise that contraception is a “Right” that should be provided for free, even from religious based institutions that have serious moral objections to it.

— It does not appear that the administration considered the negative consequences that would result if those religious institutions, who provide upwards of twenty percent of all hospital beds in this country, choose to close their hospitals and their other charitable service organizations?

— Is there no one in leadership who has read the First Amendment to the Constitution which guarantees religious organizations that there shall be no prohibition to the free exercise of their religion.

— It has become clear that the administration has created the “war on women” simply as a political ploy in an effort to secure the women’s vote.

Constitutional challenges: A continuing challenge to the “separation of powers” by the executive branch, publicly demeaning the Supreme Court on multiple occasions, and routinely by-passing the legislative branch, choosing to ignore the rigor of the legislative process in favor of more dictatorial “Executive Orders”.

— The judicial branch does not have the ability to “enforce” its rulings, it is dependent on the executive branch to do so. Presidential posturing while the court is deliberating a law’s constitutionality is not only bad form, it opens the question as to whether or not the executive branch will arbitrarily “pick and choose” laws and court rulings it will defend.

— The executive branch publicly stated that it will not enforce the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA), even though that act was passed by the Congress and signed into law

by President Clinton.The refusal of the DOJ to fulfill its responsibility caused the Congress to establish the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG). The intent of this group was/is to provide the defense of DOMA in the hopes of getting the issue to the Supreme Court for its review of the law’s constitutionality.

Labor vs. Management: In addition to the Executive Branch continually demonizing businesses, its National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued an unprecedented challenge, seeking to deny Boeing Aircraft the right to build an assembly plant in South Carolina.

— The primary issue is that South Carolina is a “Right to Work” state, and the current administration has chosen to try and force Boeing into a state where it must use only dues paying union workers.

— That attempt by the NLRB not only favors labor over management, it attempts to essentially dictate to companies that the federal government must approve what have always been routine corporate decisions.

Race relations:There was great hope that the election of our first black President would further bring the country together, and diminish racial animosities. However, the current administration has done little to improve race relations but has somewhat ham-handedly imposed itself into a number of situations, making matters worse.

— Police in Massachusetts responded to a 911 call, when a neighbor called in to state that he thought his neighbor’s house was being robbed. The police responded and were confronted by a man claiming that it was his house. The man became belligerent and somewhat abusive towards the police when they tried to verify his claim.

Before he knew all the facts about the situation, the president went on national TV and labeled the police actions as “stupid”.

— More recently, the president again imposed himself, in the case of a tragic shooting in Florida, before he had assembled all the facts. At a time when racial unrest needed to be calmed, neither the President nor his Department of Justice took the steps necessary to do so, preferring to let threats and bounties be ignored.

If the people, in this government of, by, and for the people, allow themselves to simply become pawns in political gamesmanship, then, for sure, divided we fall.

LETTERS Federal government has determined what it takes to clean clothes To the editor, After 25 years, I had to replace my old Kenmore washer. The new one, a Kenmore, which looked very similar to the old standby. It had all of the bells and whistles as the old one EXCEPT that it does not clean the clothes. There is mystery in the way the new machines work their magic behind locked doors so to speak.

Well I finally tricked the machine by removing the cover interlock and spent a half hour watching the wonders of modern technology. For a full load, the water doesn’t even cover the clothes. It gently agitates them, which in turn agitates me! After draining and spinning, the rinse cycle starts.

Some bright new engineer figured that splashing water on the clothing while spinning them at a high rate of speed, would rinse the soap out.

Wrong! It seems that now we have to purchase high efficiency detergent.

That means there are no soap suds in the first place.

I called Sears and they sent out a very nice and reasonably competent

repairman who put the machine through its cycles and then told me that all was right and that it was designed that way. The instructions said that the rinse cycle would default to a spray rinse. Now, default means that if all else fails, then this will happen.

It seems that YOUR government, the one that cannot solve the energy crisis in heating and fuel, has determined just what it takes to get your clothes clean! It has set the standard for washers somewhat as it did for low flow toilets that you have to flush twice (fodder for yet another article).

I was told that all washers use the same standards no matter the price.

AND Sears won’t take it back! It seems that I waited too long to do my research. This is just one more case of big brother deciding what is best for us! Does anyone out there know where I can get a slightly used five year old washer that will wash my clothes in just one cycle?

Many thousands of dollar & best they can do is Live Free & Fish’?

To the editor, Have you heard the news?

The N.H. Department of Travel and Tourism has finally, after almost two years and hundreds of thousands of dollars, revealed their long-awaited branding campaign that is meant to drive thousand of new tourists to the state.

It was decided to take our proud and historical state motto “Live Free Or Die” and trivialize it with slogans such as: “Live Free And Hike,” “Live Free And Fish” and “Live Free And Splash” (seriously…Splash). The list goes on.

I can only imagine, in the not too distant future, visitors entering New Hampshire on the interstate will no longer be treated to signs proudly

proclaiming “Welcome -Bienvenue…..

Live Free Or Die” but ones that meekly suggest “Welcome -Bienvenue…. Live Free And Shop Tax Free” and many other variations.

I’m certainly not against marketing New Hampshire to bring in new visitors and help the economy, but I feel that this new series of slogans will only serve to diminish our great state motto, which in itself, known across the nation, and even parts of the world, has been, possibly, one our greatest marketing tools to date.

And, after all that time and money, I thought they could do better.

Nazi Party had far more in common than with USSR than the USA To the editor, Jimmy V seems confused these days. NAZI, just as he writes, stood for National Socialist Workers Party. Jim says it was socialist in name only — not so. It socialized medicine, it socialized education, along with most other services and had the all powerful cen-

tral government typical of a socialist governments. It did not socialize business and industry because it fully controlled it with an iron hand. Hitler archived power by making deals with industry, banks, even the military. As for the Democratic Socialist Party this see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 17, 2012 — Page 7

LETTERS We can’t look back if we want real improvements at the the Weirs

Today’s conservatives are ones fighting to preserve liberties

To the editor, This letter is in response to a letter in the April 13 2012 issue of this paper by Callista Wilson of Laconia regarding her concerns about the conditions at Weirs Beach. First of all I commend her for writing and agree with her and would like to add what I feel may be the answer for Weirs Beach before it is too late.

First , What is right about Weirs Beach? We have the largest public beach on the lake. Second, we have the most public parking of any town on the lake. Third, we have more public docks for boats than anyone on the lake. Forth, we have the M/S Mt. Washington and her two sister ships birthed at Weirs Beach, Fifth, we have a newly completed boardwalk which (In my view ) has the best and broadest views over Eagle Island and the mountains beyond. Sixth, we have the Hobo Railroad stationed at the best depot on the lake. Seventh, you can also fill your boat with gas or pump it out and get any connivance item at the town docks. We also have one of the oldest (if not the oldest) drive-in theaters in the state. We also own 22 acres of land that the city parks and recreation department has earmarked for a park for all to enjoy This park is slated to be started this spring and I believe that it should be but I also believe that the council still has to approve it. I have been very vocal on this park as a cheerleader because it will be a place that all can enjoy. Also in this same park there is a planned pavilion.

In downtown Laconia the Parks & Recreation Department has done a wonderful job and there is no reason to believe that they will not do the same great job at The Weirs park. We also have in the Weirs Beach area, Funspot, with it’s new Monkey Trunks open all year with bingo, bowling and my favorite (billiards), etc. The Naswa does a wonderful job promoting events and has a great restaurant beach bar and lodging, etc. The newest edition to the Weirs Beach is the Lobster Pound Restaurant, also open year round.

Close to the Weirs, across from the newer Cumberland Farms are several affordable year-round homes under construction. These home have a clubhouse and pool for owners to enjoy and are a truly affordable option for the locals or second home buyer. On Scenic Drive and Rte. 3, Meredith Bay is building several up scale homes and condo’s right on the water, with awesome views with more planned in the future. These buyers will enjoy a pool, tennis and a wonderful marina,

etc. — and is within walking distance to Weirs Beach. The owners also have sites planned for a hotel, restaurants and several retail sites and would build to suit for the right tenants.

Now, for what I believe is wrong with Weirs Beach. First and foremost we are the only attraction on the entire lake that has parking meters and makes people pay to park before using our beach. In my view the parking meters should go or at least TRY not using them for a two year period.

If after two years the income does not increase more than what they bring in, I will be surprised. To be fair the city would have to deduct the costs involved in maintaining these meters and payroll before telling you what a great source of revenue they are. Can you imagine Mitt Romney if elected wanting to go on the Mount with some head of state and having to excuse himself to put money in a meter? Secondly, I believe there has to be some sort of tax relief in order to encourage growth in the area. A new hotel (for example) would need some sort of relief in order to build but the city would benefit from long-term taxes on the building. The same type of relief may be applied to existing buildings and store fronts in order to create a new IMAGE at the Weirs. The pier at Weirs is a prime example of needed continued maintenance as it is grandfathered but if it ever falls into the lake may never be allowed to be rebuilt.

Weirs Beach is presently going through a huge change with the new round-a-bout that is being built. In my view this change should be promoted by way of a permanent center piece in the middle of the structure. Whether you agree or not with the design I believe that the city should capitalize on it. As for the planned pavilion, the city in my view should be seeking a sponsor in order to get it built sooner rather than later. I have been coming to Weirs Beach for over 35 years and decided to move here about five years ago. Weirs Beach has the potential to be what it once was and like Callista I hope that these letters will help. If we all sit back and to nothing then nothing will happen. If we care enough to present ideas to the city, then maybe the city will act. I believe the handling of the fire at the Weirs was not done properly but we can not look back. We have to look forward if you want to see improvements Then we have to stay involved. Thank you for listening.

Russ Poirier Weirs Beach

To the editor, Mr. Veverka’s letter of April 11, 2012 was interesting but the distinction he makes is politically motivated and irrelevant. The hair splitting needed to claim that the National Socialists (Nazis) were not a left wing movement but a right wing movement is amusing.

The distinctions between socialist, fascist, communist, dictatorship, strong-man government, a King, Shah, Tsar, theocracies, etc. are mostly irrelevant. If you are the victim, does it matter if you are one of 7-million Jews killed by the Nazis, one of the 25,000 Ukrainians that Stalin starved to death daily (by one estimate totaling perhaps 12.5-million people) or the 20 million or so others he had executed, one of the 80-100 million that Mao executed, one of the approximately 2-million that the communist Pol Pot killed, or a homosexual or heretic killed under the authority of Islamic governments?

The common element in all these killings is an all-powerful central government. Mr. Veverka presents lots of arguments to support his claim that fascism is “right wing” by which he is trying to associate fascism with American conservatives, libertarians and TEA Partiers. But, the examples that Veverka uses to prove a “right wing regime” or others, just as destructive of human liberty, can be found in any regime with absolute power.

The only scale relevant to the things that Mr. Veverka discusses is a scale of government power, from absolute power on one end to no power (anarchy) at the other. A government with absolute power does what it wants to any citizen it wants, and almost all claim they act (kill) “for the good of the people“. Who owns the factories and just about everything else is irrelevant to oppressed citizens.

Some people seem to think they

from preceding page was a case of a competing group not a competing ideology. So in spite of a few, very few, differences this was a socialist operation in fact. Call it a hybrid if you want but it had far more in common with the USSR then with the USA. But if Nazi Germany is not to your liking as an example lets turn to all

the other FAILED socialist examples that history gives us. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, there is none that have succeeded without being subsidized in one way or another by outside sources. That’s a demonstrable fact. Prove me wrong Jim, not with opinion but with facts Steve Earle Hill

can trust power in temporary leaders.

Some people trust the power of the Patriot Act in Barack Obama’s hands but didn‘t trust it in George Bush’s hands, and vice versa. Wise people have always feared too much government power because history proves that “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.“ The historic usage of the terms liberal and conservative have been reversed in current times. Because most people figured out that today’s liberals want a bigger more powerful government which reduces peoples’ freedoms, many liberals now try to hide their oppressive agenda by calling themselves “progressives”. Liberals have to try to hide, or divert attention from, their intentions to avoid the rejection that a clear statement would bring.

Today’s conservatives, libertarians, and the TEA Party are the ones fighting to conserve the peoples’ liberties identified in the U.S. Constitution.

They see the erosion of those liberties (for our own good of course) that result from big government as evidence of the wisdom of the following attributed to Thomas Jefferson, “Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have. The course of history shows us that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”

Our country’s founders lived under a powerful central government. They studied history, government, human nature, and philosophy. Our founders knew that the biggest threat to peoples’ freedoms is a powerful central government and also the threat from no government. So our founders crafted a government closer to the no government end of the spectrum, a government with strictly limited powers carefully specified in a Constitution. The primary responsibility see next page

Shields holds Red Sox to 4 hits & Rays avoid sweep with 1-0 win at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — James Shields allowed four hits in 8 1-3 innings, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 Monday to avoid a four-game sweep.

The only run came when Daniel Bard (0-2) walked Evan Longoria on four pitches with the bases loaded in the seventh.

Shields (2-0) led the majors with 11 complete games last year and had a chance for another until he walked Dustin Pedroia with one out in the ninth.

Fernando Rodney retired the next two batters for his fourth save in four chances.

Shields gave up four singles and two walks while striking out five as the Rays finally shut down the team that had outscored them 31-12 in the previous three games. Only one Boston runner got past first base.

The loss was Bobby Valentine’s first at Fenway Park as Boston’s manager. Fans booed when he went back to the dugout after lifting Bard for Justin Thomas following the run-scoring walk.

During an interview aired on WHDH-TV Sunday night, Valentine questioned Kevin Youkilis’ commitment to the game. He apologized to his third baseman on Monday. Valentine had said he didn’t think

LACONIA PUBLIC LIBRARY

Youkilis was “as physically or emotionally into the game.”

Joe Maddon got his 500th win as a manager, all with Tampa Bay, as the Rays stopped a four-game losing streak.

The traditional Patriots’ Day home game began at 11:04 a.m. The holiday observed in Massachusetts and Maine marks Paul Revere’s ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775.

Shields retired the first four batters before Cody Ross’ broken-bat single off the pitcher’s glove. The next six Red Sox made outs before Adrian Gonzalez singled to left. He was erased on a double-play grounder in the fourth.

Shields walked Nick Punto with two outs in the fifth, allowed singles to Dustin Pedroia in the sixth and Ross in the seventh and walked Pedroia in the ninth. Pedroia took second on a groundout, David Ortiz was walked intentionally and Ross took a called third strike, slamming down his helmet after the final out.

Bard gave up three hits through six innings and set down the first two batters in the seventh. Then he lost his control.

gled and Carlos Pena walked, loading the bases.

Pitching coach Bob McClure visited Bard and left him in the game. The move backfired as Bard walked Longoria with his 111th pitch. That’s when Valentine went to the mound to lift Bard and was booed on the walk back.

Thomas ended the threat by retiring Luke Scott on a fly to right.

Notes: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attended the game. He chatted with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft ... Youkilis sat out the game with a minor groin injury. ... In 1968, the Red Sox began the tradition of playing a single game with a morning start on Patriots’ Day. The Rays are 3-0 in those games. ... Ryan Sweeney was 0 for 3 after hitting safely in the other seven games he played for Boston.

from preceding page of this government was/is to protect people’s liberty.

For more than 100 years our Constitution worked pretty well limiting government’s intrusion into people‘s lives. But, proving that “power corrupts”, eventually politicians found that by growing government they could use government to increase their own power and rewards. For the last 100 years many of our freedoms have been slowly taken away.

Now government controls just about everything we touch: the value of our money, food, fuel, shipping, stock and commodities markets, credit, insurance, automobiles, transportation, even minor things such as shower heads, toilets, light bulbs, and now it is trying to take over our health care.

Defenders of big government can cite “good reasons” (reasons THEY think are sufficiently good) for every bit of lost freedom. But, our founders never could have imagined, and would not have approved, of their Constitution allowing the government to take one person’s property and give it to another (the recent Kelo case). Nor could they have imagined that government could control the food a person grows for their own consumption (the 1942 Filburn case). In these cases, and others, un-elected activist Supreme Court justices decided that their wishes were more important than the words and intentions of the founders, and the terms of the contract between the American people and the government which is defined by the Constitution and its amendments.

Conservatives, libertarians, and TEA Partiers want to take power from the bureaucrats and government officials and return it to the people. We want to force government to live within the limits of the Constitution as intended by the founders and by the American people when they agreed to surrender some of their freedoms for the protections identified by the Constitution.

Forget the terms people like Veverka use to try to mislead you and prejudice your thinking. If you believe that politicians and bureaucrats can make better decisions about how you should live your life than you can, that they know better than you how to spend your hard earned money, that they know how you should live better than you, and you are willing to rely on them for all your needs and wants, then you should listen to James Veverka and support the people and policies he advocates.

If you think you can best make decisions about your life and how you should spend your money, then you should join a TEA Party and help us fight to regain our liberties and return to Constitutionally limited government.

LETTERS Canda’s example of capitalism because it has Ottawa-run health care?

To the editor, Like Steve Earle, Russ Wiles just goes on and on, echoing the Fox Noise Chamber. For instance, don’t you just love the term “freedom sucking socialist agenda”? Ever since all those teabagger signs of 2009 I have always gotten a big charge out of their uses of “freedom “ and “liberty”. These people are about the most anti-freedom people I have seen in my life. Not seen since the fascist filth of Joe McCarthy and the John Birch Society. Here is a news flash for right wingers: you are the ones sucking freedom out of our culture. Do I have to mention your targets again? Women, gays, voters, unions, workers. Would I be wrong in claiming there may be too much reptilian brain at work on the right?

Like Gene Danforth, Steve Earle, Bob Kingsbury, Don Ewing and more, Russ Wiles just blabbers away about the evils of socialism yet none of them seem to know what socialism is. Get a dictionary, boys. Their thinking has calcified and they don’t have the ability to think anew. They seem to think that if we don’t have a social Darwinist world of selfishness, greed and exploitation, its socialism!

Right wingers forget that communitarianism is just as much a part of the human psyche as individualism is.

When people get a little too communitarian for the right, out comes the Fox Noise Machines. Communists under the bed! PR Socialists everywhere!

Mr. Wiles brings up Canada and Australia as examples of capitalism. You mean they aren’t socialists because they have government run health care that has better outcomes

than ours? Oh, the shame! If you don’t think Canadian and Australian governments both don’t have big government hands on their market system, you need to do some reading.

Government is needed in matters of commerce to catch the snakes. Government has a regulating role in commerce as the Constitution states.

Russ has it all backwards about capitalism. Like socialism, he doesn’t seem to know what capitalism is either. To him, its a corporate run plutocracy. If I told you in 1980 if you voted for Ronald Reagan we would have two market crashes, over 30 years of flat wages and a shrinking middle class while the earnings of the rich and the corporations would rise hundreds of percent, you would have laughed at me. But that is the way it went down when the nation got fooled by the same ideas that have fooled Russ Wiles. That is how crony capitalism works, Russ. You believe people like “supply-side trickle-down” CATO, then you get a stick in the eyeball and your teeth pulled. Say hello to corporatism’s serfdom.

Russ’ attack on green energy is not worth responding to because it is a broken record purchased at the Heartland Institute. Russ is a Luddite. Neither is his argument about the price of gas. Everyone but right wingers know global situations and Wall Street speculators are the culprits. And when right wingers talk of war with Iran they DELIBERATELY cause the price of gas to rise and then blame it on Obama.

They’re so reptilian!

James Veverka Tilton

Congressman Guinta has fought to expand responsible drilling To the editor, Under President Obama our country lacks a coherent energy policy and the average American is suffering due to the financial burden of high fuel prices. Congressman Frank Guinta knows the terrible impact the lack of a coherent energy policy has on the average American and is working hard to lessen that burden. Unlike President Obama and Senate Democrats in Washington, Congressman Guinta is focusing on a realistic allthe-above energy policy that includes domestic production.

Domestic energy production creates good, middle class jobs and reduces the consumer cost. It is no coincidence that North Dakota has the lowest

unemployment rate in the country as oil production expands in the Bakken Oil Field. Congressman Guinta has fought to expand drilling responsibly across our Nation to alleviate job losses and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

In bringing drilling back to the Gulf, and also expanding areas allowed to be drilled, it would help every Granite Stater to pay less. I support Congressman Guinta efforts. He fights to create American jobs and knows we need to pay less when filling up our cars, buying diesel for our equipment or purchasing home heating oil.

CIRCUS from page one city attorney, the city’s insurance carrier and the City Council before any decision could be made.

Vachon suggested two locations for the circus: Memorial Park in the South End, where the circus was held last summer, and also a large open field which the city leases situated at the north end of Old North Main Street.

Vachon said he was willing to head up the effort, but would work under Dunleavy’s direction. “It was a oneman show last year, and it would be a one-man show this year,” Vachon said, stressing that it would involve minimal additional work for Parks and Recreation staff members.

Vachon said that there was a great deal of community support to bringing the circus back. “About nine out of 10 people last year asked that we bring it back.”

Parks Commission Chairman Jeff Pattison said the commission would have to schedule a special meeting to vote on the matter once it has heard from the city attorney and the City Council.

In other business, Dunleavy reviewed three proposed designs for changes to Wyatt Park in the city’s South End. The issue that prompted the greatest amount of discussion among the commissioners as well as City Councilor Bob Hamel and Armand Bolduc, was the location of the basketball court. Most said the court should be moved from its present location abutting Webster Street to the side of the park which abuts Garfield Street where it would be the furthest away from area residences.

Features in the various design proposals include picnic areas, an expanded playground, a walking path and an area with park benches and either garden plantings or a fountain.

One plan calls for eliminating the basketball courts altogether.

Dunleavy said that the public would have a chance to comment on the different proposals at a forum scheduled for May 10 at 7 p.m. in the Community Center.

He said the three different design proposals can be viewed on the city’s website.

GSA from page 2 stitutional privilege,”Neely said in response to questions from chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif. The conference was the subject of a highly critical report by Miller issued on April 2.

Taxpayers picked up the tab for a clown, a mind-reader, bicycles for a team-building exercise The central figure in a General Services Administration spending scandal has asserted his right to remain silent at a congressional hearing.

Jeffrey Neely had been placed on leave as a regional executive in Western states earlier. On Monday, he was called before the House Oversight Committee.

Neely told inspector general investigators that a $2,700 party he threw in his Las Vegas hotel suite was an employee-awards event, according to a transcript of the interview.

“This is an award recognition ceremony ....” Neely insisted to an internal investigator. “That’s what this was. That’s...not a Neely party right. I actually...it was in a suite that wasn’t even mine.”

The investigator then confronted Neely with his email saying that he and his wife “are hosting a party in

our loft room. There will be wine and beer and some munchies....” There was no mention of awards.

When Neely insisted again it was an awards event, the skeptical investigator told him, “You realize how this looks?”

“I get it that it looks funny,” Neely said.

The inspector general has referred Neely to the Justice Department for a possible criminal investigation, according to a congressional committee official who was not authorized to be quoted by name on the subject.

It was not clear what the department was asked to investigate.

Neely, on leave as regional commissioner of the Public Buildings Service for the Pacific Rim, was largely responsible for the Las Vegas conference.

The Oversight Committees released internal memos that showed GSA officials debated last year whether to give Neely a bonus for his job performance.

The officials were aware at the time that the inspector general was investigating the conference spending.

The now-resigned GSA administrator, Martha Johnson, granted Neely a $9,000 bonus over the objection of Deputy Administrator Susan Brita.

SMUGGLING from page 3 are things that they know. That they can anticipate.”

At a children’s daycare center near where the crumpled van came to rest, passersby have created an impromptu memorial with dozens of candles, notes and religious icons.

Lucy Moreno, 33, assistant director of the daycare, said Monday that the murder charges seemed too much for a juvenile.

As the parent of a 14-year-old, Moreno said she thought the boy “doesn’t have the maturity to think about how he was putting lives at risk.”

Lakes Region army recruits clean up downtown Military service a point of pride and family tradition for many enlistees

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For many of the Army recruits who took part in a volunteer cleanup of Downtown Laconia, Saturday joining the military is not only a point of pride, but also a part of their family tradition.

Chris Campbell, 18, of Wolfeboro, is signed up for the infantry as will be trained as a paratrooper.

He says that his dad was in the military or eight years and was a helicopter pilot and that he’s proud to be following that tradition.“I like the idea of serving my country and working to protect people,’’ says Campbell, who says that at this point he’s looking at two different scenarios for his future.

“I’d like to get a degree in criminal justice and become a police officer. But if everything goes well I might make the service my career.”

At Kingswood Regional High School he’s a member of the school’s tennis team and also active with the Kingswood High School Drama Club.

Mitch Flourney, 23, of Belmont, is looking at becoming a combat medic. He says that his wife, Kari, whom he married last November, convinced

him to sign up.

“Her dad was in the service for 28 years and my dad was in for 10 years. So it’s a natural choice for my wife and I because she knows the military lifestyle. I’ve been looking for what I wanted to do with my life since I graduated in 2007 and know that I’ve found something good,’’ says Flourney, who looks to a future as an EMT/paramedic. ‘’It’s going to be fun seeing what I can do for my country. My mother’s so proud she’s already got a flag up at home,’’ says Flourney.

Tom Simpson, 18, of Alton, says he’s looking for training as a field medic specialty.

“My family is in medical field and I’ve always wanted to serve.,’’ says Simpson, adding “‘If we sat by and watched, nothing good would happen.’’

Says his parents are proud, but concerned. “They want to make sure I’m alright. They know there are risks, but they’re happy I have a plan for my life and won’t be sitting in the basement playing video games.’’

Not that he has much time for that. Simpson is a see next page

ANY PHOTOS IN YOUR FUTURE? Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal... not to mention marriages, graduations, proms and reunions! How can you revitalize your smile in time for those memorable pictures?

Have you ever considered brightening up your smile with whiter teeth? Color changes may be intrinsic (inside the tooth) or extrinsic (surface stain). Intrinsic color changes may be caused by use of certain antibiotics, illness, or too much fluoride during childhood. An injury may cause a tooth to turn dark or discolor. As we age, most of us show more yellow and grey in our teeth even when they are healthy.

Recently, Consumer Reports tested 41 different toothpastes and found some brands helped to remove extrinsic stain.

But, if you want brighter teeth, you may want to whiten them in more substantial way than you can get with a toothpaste.

One popular procedure involves making a soft custom fitted carrier which is lined daily with a special bleaching gel (made just for teeth) and worn for a couple hours a day or at bedtime. Some results are usually seen within 7-10 days. After you achieve the desired result (3-4 weeks), you only need annual touch-ups. A brighter, whiter smile makes a great impression. Ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for whitening, and smile for the camera…

Dive in natural gas price will find its way to bottom line of NHEC bills PLYMOUTH – Members of New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) will be paying less for electricity next month. Effective May 1, typical residential members using 500 kWh per month will see an overall bill decrease of 8.7-percent.

The May 1 decrease follows another bill decrease of 3.2-percent that took effect January 1, 2012.

Driving costs down since the new year has been the retirement of NHEC’s Seabrook nuclear power plant debt in January, plus a combination of timely power purchases and dramatic declines in the price of natural gas.

The price of natural gas drives the price of wholesale electricity in New England. Approximately 35-percent of the electricity NHEC purchases for use

by its members is generated by natural gas. Since 2008, natural gas prices have declined nearly 85-percent.

“Our ability to purchase electricity at prices that reflect this trend has contributed to the decrease that we’re able to offer our members in May,” said Steve Kaminski, NHEC vice president of Power Resources & Access.

The May 1 rate change will result in an overall bill decrease of $8.23 for the typical residential member using 500 kWh per month. When the new rate change takes effect, the monthly bills of typical residential members will have decreased $11.37 since January 1.

NHEC is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving 83,000 members in 115 New Hampshire communities.

MARATHON from page 3 run in next year’s race.

Susie Eisenberg-Argo said she never considered skipping her ninth consecutive Boston Marathon. The 50-year-old Sugarland, Texas resident said before the marathon that she would force herself to slow down

instead — and make sure she stopped for water along the way.

“It’s a challenge to back off and say, ‘I’m just going to take it a little more slowly,’” she said. “Most of the people here know what they’re doing.”

Matt Manning finished the race in see next page

from preceding page a member of the track team and the high school history club and keeps himself both busy and in shape.

Joe Gagne, 18, of Meredith, graduated from high school last year. He had been living with his mom in Maine and lately has been working with his dad remodeling retail stores.

He wants to be a cavalry scout, out in front of other members of his unit and looking for enemy targets and potential problems.

Gagne’s senior project in high school was about choosing a branch of the military.

“I’ve got three cousins serving, one in National Guard, one with Marines and the other in the Navy. So it’s kind of natural for me, even though my father wasn’t in the military.’’

He says that he looked at other branches of military and says “I liked

what the Army offered. I will see what lies ahead. I like the idea of giving back my country and to the community.’’

The cleanup project was billed as Operation Spring Clean by Sgt. William Enos of the Army Recruiting office, who organized the event as a way of showcasing the quality of the recruits being attracted to the Army and the values that they display which will make them good soldiers.

“I can personally vouch for each one of them. I can trust them to do their jobs. At some point in may career I will see them again and I know that I will have a good feeling about them.’’

He says that both he and head recruiter Staff Sgt. Joseph Dougherty live in Laconia and are interested in taking part in activities which benefit the community and help build pride in the city.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 17, 2012— Page 13

LAMB from page one Inn that he “I look forward to running and winning.”

Forrester is expected to announce her bid for reelection to second term in Meredith on Thursday.

Lamb grew up in a working class family Massachusetts , the son of World World II veteran and union member of more than 30 years standing and a mother who raised eight children while serving her church and local government. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, where after finishing the Airborne and Ranger schools, he joined the faculty. After leaving the Army, Lamb began a career at Fleet Bank and ultimately served as chief financial officer of the seventh largest banking company in the country. He is now retired.

“From my parents,” Lamb said, “I learned how much I owe to past generations for their sacrifices and I learned that I should pay forward for future generations.” He said that West Point taught him “to value ideals and to serve a higher purpose more than a personal agenda” and that “working together rather than working alone is a better way to solve complex and difficult problems.”

“For the past two years the New Hampshire Senate has looked backwards,” Lamb charged. “It

has focused on an agenda that divides and isolates us. It has turned its back on expanding education and economic opportunities.” Calling for a “new approach,” he said that government requires “open minds,” “fact-based searches for the best answers,” and “concern for long-term impacts.” This, he concluded, “is not the way our legislature currently works.”

The Republican majority in the Senate, Lamb said, has voted to deny the right of employees to organize, deny some voters their right to a ballot without photo IDs, siphon funds from public education to private schools and slashed funding for the state university system.

“Our state senator,” Lamb said, “voted in lockstep to support the party bosses in these mistaken decisions.” Referring to Forrester’s vote in support of the House redistricting plan, he said she “even voted to disenfranchise the voters in Meredith.”

Lamb stressed that “we need to invest in our future” and vowed to serve the best interest of those he would represent, not special interests. “I don’t work for anybody else,” he said. He said he would take his campaign to all 27 towns in the district, quipping “I like to walk. It’s a benefit of being an army guy.”

Asked about New Hampshire’s famed “pledge” to vote against a general sales or personal income tax, Lamb replied “I took a pledge to put my life in danger, to uphold the Constitution and obey the commander-in-chief and 34 years ago I made a pledge to my wife. Those are pledges worth taking.

The pledge,” he declared, “is not THE pledge. I’ve listed several that are more important.”

“It is time for a great discussion,” Lamb said.

“What do we want our state to be? If we don’t start talking about it, we’ll never get the thing moving forward. And if we have those conversations,” he remarked, “we’ll win the argument. Bring it on.”

Senate District 2, as redrawn this year, consists of five towns in Belknap County — Center Harbor, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton and Tilton — 20 towns in Grafton County — Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, Campton, Danbury, Dorchester, Ellsworth, Grafton, Groton, Haverhill, Hebron, Holderness, Orange, Orford, Piermont, Plymouth, Rumney, Warren, Wentworth — and two in Merrimack County — Hill and Wilmot.

— Michael Kitch

from preceding page 2 hours and 34 minutes — a full 10 minutes slower than his pace last year. He said the heat set in after the first several miles.

“It was direct sun the whole way,” said the 32-year-old Baton Rouge, La., man. “I was hanging around through 10K or so, then I started to slow down.... I may move to Alaska or something to get away from the heat.”

The famously welcoming crowds that line up to watch the marathon did their best to help out the

athletes, cheering them on even as they themselves sweated through an unseasonably warm April day.

June Ramlett, 83, has been watching the marathon since she was a little girl. The Hopkinton, Mass. woman made sure to have a good vantage point for the starting line. She drank from a plastic jug of water to stay cool.

“It’s really something to see,” Ramlett said as thousands of runners hit their stride. “I’ve watching it for years and it’s still very special.”

OSPREY from page one documented recovery. To continue that recovery, the state’s Fish & Game Department has listed the bird on its “species of concern list” and the U.S. Migratory Bird Act prohibits the killing, harassment or injury of osprey.

Thankfully for the local osprey pair, PSNH has been through this before, as its poles seem to mimic the characteristics of the osprey’s preferred nesting sites. Mike Skelton, media spokesperson for the power company, said on Monday that his organization was working together with N.H. Fish & Game, the state’s Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED), the Audubon Society and the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center to find a solution that will please both power customers and bird watchers.

“The strategy is, we’ll find an alternative location,” said Skelton.

The situation was first reported to the Audubon Society by a local bird watcher late last week, said Skelton. His company has been strategizing a solution since then, and have come up with a plan to erect a pole, specifically designed to accommodate an osprey nest, on nearby property.

The pole the ospreys chose is located on the stateowned property that once housed the Laconia State School, then the Lakes Region Prison Facility.”It’s not a good spot,” Skelton said. “It’s right on a cross-arm of a pole, the insulators and live wires are right there.”

Skelton said PSNH plans to install the ospreyfriendly pole in the nearby Opechee State Park, a location selected with consultation from wildlife experts. Power company crews will place the pole as soon as permits are issued by DRED, which administers the park.

“We’re pretty confident this will be a good resolution,” said Skelton. “Everyone recognizes that it’s an opportunity to do something that’s good for local wildlife.”

A pair of local nesting ospreys have chosen a PSNH utility pole off North Main Street in Laocnia as the site for their nest. The power company is working with state agencies and wildlife conservation organizations to relocate the birds’ new home to a safer spot.

BUFFET from page 2 the vote, saying Republicans chose “once again to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest few Americans at the expense of the middle class.” In a statement issued after the vote, he said he would keep pressing Congress to help the middle class.

“It’s just plain wrong that millions of middle-class Americans pay a higher share of their income in taxes than some millionaires and billionaires,” he said.

Republicans called the measure a divisive Democratic distraction from the nation’s real problems that would not address the economy’s real woes.

“This legislation will do nothing with regard to job creation, with regard to gas prices, with regard to economic recovery,” said Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Senate GOP leader.

Democrats’ goal, he said, was “to try to draw attention away from the issues that the American people are most concerned about.”

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republi-

can to join Democrats in voting to keep the measure alive, arguing that it was a way to begin considering a badly needed, broad revamping of the entire tax code.

The lone defecting Democrat was Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who said making the rich pay a fair share of taxes should occur as part of an overall tax overhaul, “not as a political ploy meant to score points.”

Monday’s vote was the first time a “Buffett rule” proposal has come to a Senate vote this election year, though Democrats have tried unsuccessfully in recent months to impose modest surcharges on the income of the wealthy.

With presidential and congressional elections approaching in November, it was also a microcosm of the broader battle the two parties are waging over an economy that is still having a tough time creating enough new jobs. And the fight isn’t confined to the Senate floor.

Fatal shootings in 3 small N.H. town cause for alarm

CONCORD (AP) — An apparent murder-suicide.

A beloved police chief gunned down by a man who later turned the gun on his on-again-off-again girlfriend and himself. A man shot dead on a dirt road.

In just 72 hours, the number of homicides in New Hampshire this year doubled from four to eight.

The bloodshed began Thursday afternoon with two men dead in Dalton, followed hours later by the slaying of a veteran Greenland police chief just days away from retirement and by Saturday reached Chesterfield, where a man was killed on a dirt road.

In a small state accustomed to between 15 and 19 homicides a year, it was three days of seemingly nonstop violence. The wave of shootings has alarmed residents in small towns unaccustomed to violent crime and sent investigators streaming from one scene to the next.

Professor Mark Fischler, chairman of the criminal justice department at Plymouth State University, said the streak of shootings is shocking in a state the size of New Hampshire.

“I consider ourselves one big family,” Fischler said. “It’s incredibly sad to see such little value for human life.”

Killed in Dalton were 48-year-old Joseph Besk and 45-year-old Christopher Smith, the apparent shooter. Smith’s death has been ruled a suicide. A third man, 54-year-old Wayne Ainsworth, is recovering from gunshot wounds.

Besk and Ainsworth were both convicted sex offenders who were married behind bars just weeks after the state’s same-sex marriage law took effect in January 2010. Smith apparently lived with them, but the motive for the shootings is not clear.

“To have this happen in a small community like ours is an eye-opener,” said Mario Audit, the police chief in Dalton, population 900. “It’s usually pretty peaceful. In Greenland, they realize that too.”

Audit — one of four officers in the northern New

Hampshire town — hopes to know more when state police investigators return.

“We’re waiting for Greenland to settle out,” Audit said.

The investigation in Dalton was abruptly eclipsed when word of the Greenland shootings came shortly after 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Five officers were shot, the extent of their injuries unclear, according to early reports. Crime scene investigators and trucks were redeployed.

Greenland’s police chief of 12 years — Michael Maloney — was confirmed dead. He was shot in the head while attempting to serve a search warrant on 29-year-old Colin Mutrie, a man with an arrest record for domestic abuse and possession of steroids, court records show. Four detectives affiliated with the attorney general’s drug task force were shot as well.

Maloney, 48, was a week away from retirement after a quarter-century in law enforcement. He was looking forward to spending more time with his family.

The injured officers are detective Gregory Turner, 32, a six-year veteran of the Dover police department, who was treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder and released; detective Eric Kulberg, 31, a seven-year veteran of the University of New Hampshire police department, who was treated for a gunshot wound to the arm and released; detective Scott Kukesh, 33, a 10-year veteran of the Newmarket police department and detective Jeremiah Murphy, 34, a seven-year veteran of the Rochester police department, both of whom remain hospitalized in stable condition.

After a tense, overnight standoff, Mutrie was found dead in the home along with a female companion, 26-year-old Brittany Tibbetts. Family members told The Associated Press that Tibbetts was a former girlfriend of Mutrie who returned to him recently to help him work out issues that were upsetting him. Authorities have ruled her death a homicide and his a suicide.

Donkeyball event Friday raises funds for Franklin prom FRANKLIN — The Green Mountain Donkeyball show out of Danby, Vermont, will be coming to Franklin Middle School from 5:30-7 p.m. on Friday, April 20.

The Class of 2012 is using the Donkeyball show as one of its fundraising effort to raise money for the Senior Prom. Spectators attending the show can look forward to two wildly funny matches: FHS’s Seniors will attempt to defeat the faculty, while the City of Franklin’s team will compete against the Fire Fighters.

The biggest challenge for these brave, if not foolhardy, competitors is to save face as they try to

maintain some sort of dignity as they attempt to ride their donkey counterparts. Although the players’ objective is to actually score some baskets, the donkeys will do their best to make complete fools out of the would-be riders.

John and Letitia Sisters, the owners of GMDB, treat children under 12 to free donkey rides during intermission.

Advanced ticket prices are $8 or $10 at the door.

Children 4 and under are free. Advanced tickets can be purchased at Franklin High School or by calling 934-5441 ext 431.

LHS Drama’s ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ opens Thursday LACONIA — Laconia High School Theatre Arts will present the hilarious musical comedy “Once Upon A Mattress”, Thursday April 19 and Friday, April 20, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 21 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors, and a family rate, for family of four, (two adults and two children), is $20.

The play provides a delightful evening of laughter as the story of the Princess and pea is retold in song and dance: there’s a princess, there’s a pea, there’s a prince…and that’s where the similarities end.

No one in the kingdom may wed until Queen Aggrivain’s (junior Gwen Huot) son, Prince Dauntless the Drab (freshman Mitchell Bailey), is led to the altar. The only problem is, the Queen can’t seem to find a Princess good enough for her precious baby boy. But Lady Larken (sophomore Brittney Pond) needs to get married, right now, and so dispatches her love, Sir Harry, (sophomore John Hammond) to search for a new candidate princess.

Enter Princess Winnifred the Wobegone (junior

Katharina Beliveau), stir in the Minster (senior Drew Prag), the Jester (senior Kristian Brown), King Sextimus the Silent (junior Josh Rawson), and you’ve got a recipe for near disaster. How will the Queen and her toady, the wizard (freshman Michael Tarling) keep Dauntless and Winnifred apart? Will the curse that holds the king silent ever be broken?

Will Harry and Larken ever get married?

Producing this show has been a challenge, according to director Bernie Campbell. “We’ve overcome a lot adversity,” he said. “But they’ve pulled through, and the final product is amazing. I’m very proud of all of them.” he show features a full pit orchestra, directed by LHS music director Debbi Gibson, who also handled the music direction of the cast. Sophomore Garrett Guillmett is the show’s technical and lighting director. LHS English teacher Nancy Hood assisted with set design, and paraeducator Sharon Bosworth led a team of several volunteers in designing and sewing many of the costumes.

Burlesque series starting at Pitman’s Freight Room

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room, home of the popular NH Jazz Center series on Monday and Thursday evenings, is expanding its entertainment repertoire into another roots art form: Burlesque.

On Wednesday evenings starting April 25, Pitman’s will host Burlesque Night Live, a variety show featuring dancing girls, comedy sketches and musical theatre numbers. A collaborative effort by two Laconia performing arts troupes, Tabula Rasa Theatre Company and Artsfest Company, BNL showcases the talents of local dancers and actors in a bawdy genre familiar to dance hall era, with a taste of the classic TV musical variety shows of the 1960s and -70’s, like the Dean Martin and Carol Burnette Shows and Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Burlesque Night Live opens April 25 at 7:30 p.m. and will continue, with a different show every week, until June 13 (with the exception of May 16).

Admission is $12 (BYOB), and light refreshments will be available. Pitman’s Freight Room, a former warehouse lovingly refurbished at a function room and performance space, is located at 94 New Salem Street in Downtown Laconia.

To make reservations or for further information call Pointless Forest Productions at 603556-9695.

Peter Brunette and Rick Morten have teamed up once again to present a series of variety shows featuring dancing girls, comedy sketches and musical theatre numbers. Burlesque Night Live opens Wednesday, April 25 at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia, and runs through June 13. (Courtesy photo)

Darcy Perry joins WOW Trail Board of Directors LACONIA — The Board of Directors for the WOW Trail is pleased to announce the addition of Darcy Perry to their organization.

Perry is employed at LRGHealthcare working as the Volunteer Coordinator. She has Darcy Perry (Courtesy photo) been with LRGHealthcare for the past ten years.

Her experience in growing and managing volunteers will be an important asset for the WOW Trail.

“The WOW Trail had over 3000 hours of volunteer work donated to this project last year and as we continue to grow, we will continue to offer additional volunteer opportunities. Having someone with the background and experience that Darcy has along with her commitment to this project and to our com-

munity makes her addition an excellent fit and welcome addition for the board” said co-chairman Allan Beetle.

The mission of the WOW Trail is to design, build and maintain a paved multi-use recreational trail through the city of Laconia, alongside the active railroad bed. The WOW Trail will connect the Laconia communities of Weirs Beach and Lakeport with downtown and neighboring towns via a safe and convenient passageway, while providing outstanding scenic and recreation opportunities and having a positive impact on the local economy.

The first phase of the WOW Trail has been completed between Lakeport and downtown and the next phase of the project is to extend the trail from downtown to the Belmont town line, connecting with the planned Belmont trail and onto existing trails in Tilton and Franklin.

More information about the WOW Trail is available at www.wowtrail.org or emails can be directed to info@wowtrail.org.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis be compared. Because two things are next to each other doesn’t mean there’s a logical intrinsic relationship between those two things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Someone is trying to sell you, and you’ll feel the squeeze. The thing about marketers is that if they can’t identify a need, they manufacture a demand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Strive for wide-eyed awareness. If your eyes are closed, you can fall upon the very thing you’ve been searching for and not see it. You’ll pinch yourself metaphorically to make sure that all of your senses are awake and ready.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are smart, generous, insightful people at the core of your circle. If you’re wondering who, it’s because you haven’t yet met some of these people.

New friends are attracted to your high integrity level.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A situation is not what you thought it would be. You may let go of all of your hard preparation in favor of being present with what the moment needs. You can do this because you are truly confident in your abilities.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 17).

This year you’ll be energized by the same challenges that used to stop you in your tracks. You’ll employ new skills, and your game just keeps improving.

You’ll focus on your loved ones’ needs through the next six weeks, connecting with them on deep levels. Enjoyable work and romantic moments fill your summer. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 10, 40, 39 and 18.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone is defending passionately an argument they know can be defeated. Don’t take the bait. This is a tricky game, and it’s not worth your time to participate in it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do you constantly edit yourself? It gets exhausting after a while, doesn’t it?

That’s why it’s such a tremendous relief to be around people who completely accept you for who you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The day features some silliness and strange entertainment. Just because someone is weird doesn’t mean they won’t make a stellar friend.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even games that are usually fun can turn quite dull if you know you’re going to win. Today, love will be a game, too. It will be important to get plenty of challenge into your personal life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You stay on track by thinking in rather black-andwhite terms. Each decision you make brings you either closer or farther away from your goals. With every move, you’ll ask yourself, “Which is it?”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll do as you intend to do. The success or failure of your actions is irrelevant. What’s important is that you follow through, honoring your strong convictions.

Action increases your confidence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll use language in a way that expands, guides and directs people’s actions and feelings. You’ll say “I love you” and send a person’s mood to the highest stars.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As you go about your day comparing A to B, note that not everything should

Elisabeth Von Trapp will appear in concert at the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse in Franklin on Saturday, April 21, 7 p.m.; and at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia on Sunday, April 22, 4 p.m. (Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Elizabeth von Trapp will offer concerts in Franklin and Laconia on the weekend of April 21-22.

On Saturday evening, April 21, 7 p.m., she will appear at the Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse in Franklin; on Sunday afternoon, April 22 at 4 p.m., she will be at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Laconia.

For Elisabeth von Trapp, the sounds of music are part of her earliest memories. Born and raised in Vermont, Elisabeth is the granddaughter of the legendary Maria and Baron von Trapp, whose story inspired The Sound of Music. Singing professionally since childhood, Elisabeth has enthralled audiences from European cathedrals to Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center.

Inspired by her father Werner von Trapp’s guitar playing and singing, Elisabeth has carried on the legacy of the internationally renowned Trapp Family Singers. She began taking piano lessons when she was eight and by the age of sixteen she was playing guitar and traveling the back roads of New England performing with her siblings at weddings, gospel meetings and town halls.

Seating is limited and doors open one-half hour before the event at the venues. There is no charge but a collection will be taken and CDs will be on sale.

New Hampshire, Franklin celebrate Watts Water Technologies’ expansion

FRANKLIN — State and local dignitaries joined officials from Watts Water Technologies Inc. on March 26 to celebrate the company’s expansion in the city, which will bring with it more than 100 new jobs.

The company, which had previously manufactured some of its water control products in China, transferred that operation to New Hampshire and is now expanding. On March 26 officials and dignitaries broke ground on a 30,000-square-foot building at its South Main Street property.

“This investment will support our ability to make high quality products which meet the leadfree requirements that come into effect in January 2014,” said David Coghlan, president and CEO of Watts Water Technologies.

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch cited the dedication of the workers as a reason why Watts continues to expand in Franklin.

“We very much appreciate the investment Watts continues to make,” Lynch said. “Watts could have chosen to expand anywhere and it’s a vote of consee WATTS page 27

NORTHFIELD — Earth Day will be celebrated at Pines Community Center on Sunday, April 22 with a presentation on animal agriculture and the environment (5-6 p.m.) by Louisa Dell’Amico, and a vegan dinner (6:15–7 p.m. followed by African Drumming (and Dancing) by Araba-Lon (7-8 p.m.)

To help educate and encourage the public to make choices that are not only healthier but also have less of an environmental impact, Dell’Amico will be presenting her powerpoint, “An Inconvenient Food: The Link Between Animal Agriculture, Global Warming, and Environmental Degradation” followed by a vegan dinner. The menu is focaccia with caramelized onions; butternut squash and pear soup; black bean, corn, and red pepper salad; spinach lasagne, and a choice of chocolate brownie or ginger-macadamia-coconut carrot cake. Guests are also welcome to bring their own bottle (of whatever!).

Dinner will be followed by a performance by Araba-lon, a group of local residents who share a passion for West African drumming. According to the group’s director, Grant Ellerbeck of Northfield, “Earth Day is a great opportunity to play. The traditional West African music is all about community and connection, including our connection to one another, to the Earth beneath our feet, and to the spirits that inhabit all things. I’m looking forward to sharing part of the day with everyone.”

Dell’Amico’s strategy is that if she can’t convince people to re-consider their dietary choices with her pre-

sentation, perhaps they will be won over by the great food. “The response I often get from people when they learn I’m vegan is, ‘I hate tofu.’ Well, I’m not a huge fan of tofu either, so I invite all you omnivores to come for a delicious and filling dinner. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover the wide variety of foods and flavors available on a vegan menu,” she said.

Pines Community Center is located at 61 Summer St. in Northfield. Fee for this event is $22 (or $7 for the drumming performance only). Deadline for reservations is Friday, April 20. For more info, call Louisa at 729-0248 or louisa@metrocast.net.

Castle Preservation Society chosen to take part in 2012 Conservation Assessment Program MOULTONBOROUGH — Heritage Preservation has announced that Castle Preservation Society (CPS) which operates Castle in the Clouds has been chosen to participate in the 2012 Conservation Assessment Program (CAP).

CAP provides a general conservation assessment of a museum’s collections. A professional conservator will spend two days surveying the site and three days preparing a comprehensive report that will identify conservation priorities.

The on-site consultation will enable the Castle to evaluate its current collections care policies, procedures, and environmental conditions. Now that critical issues of water penetration have been addressed through roof and dormer repair, the Castle Preservation Society seeks to develop collections care policies and identify appropriate conservation treatments and priorities for the extensive collections of historic furnishings and decorative arts, many of which are original to Lucknow.

The CAP assessment report will provide solid professional guidelines for the planning and fund raising that will enable CPS to make appropriate improvements for the immediate, mid-range, and long-range care of its collections.

The Castle in the Clouds joins the 2,800 museums that have participated in CAP in its twenty-two year history of serving museums. Heritage Preservation’s CAP is supported through a cooperative agreement with the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. CAP assists museums by providing funds for professional conservation specialists to identify the conservation needs of their collections and recommend ways to correctly improve collections conditions.

Heritage Preservation’s President, Lawrence L. Reger, praised the Castle Preservation Society for “making the vital work of caring for collections a priority of their institution, even in these challenging financial times, and helping ensure that they are available to present and future generations.”

Castle in the Clouds features Lucknow, the 1914 Arts & Crafts home of shoe industrialist Thomas Plant. Perched in the Ossipee Mountains with panoramic views of Lake Winnipesaukee, it will open for the season on Saturday, May 12 for weekends only, then daily from June 9 through October 20 from 10 a.m.- 5:30 p.m. For more information visit www. castleintheclouds.org.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 17, 2012— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 24 and have four small children under age 10. My mother was in a car accident last fall that left her paralyzed from the chest down, and she now lives with us.

With hardly any help from my older sister, I struggle every day trying to take care of everyone’s needs.

Mom screams at me and makes the smallest of things seem like the end of the world. I don’t want to see her in a nursing home, but I cannot do this 24/7. I’m losing my mind and my life. My kids don’t want to be around me, and my oldest son’s grades are declining.

Do I keep going, hoping things will get better? Or do I break the news to my mom that I love her dearly but can’t take care of her? -- A. Dear A.: You sound like a wonderful, caring daughter, but Mom is probably depressed and angry, and is taking it out on you. There are limits to what you can reasonably do for her without sacrificing the well-being of your children. Please don’t feel guilty. Your mother needs more help than you can give her. She not only requires round-the-clock physical care, but also would benefit from counseling to deal with her other issues and come to terms with her current situation.

Please look into home-health care options, including a fulltime caregiver (perhaps your sister would contribute to the cost), as well as nearby nursing homes. Most do an excellent job, and you can visit Mom every day, not only to cheer her up, but also to check on her care. Then please get some counseling for yourself in order to get through this, because we doubt Mom is going to make it easy.

Dear Annie: Is it OK to ask my 80-year-old parents whether they will leave any inheritance for my siblings and me? I’m not looking to spend it. But getting an answer will help with our future retirement planning. Of course, as with most families, there are all kinds of additional “wonderful” dynamics

at work that complicate asking. What is your stance on this?

-- Wondering Dear Wondering: Children should never assume there is an inheritance to receive. Plan your retirement according to what you can manage on your own. You can, however, discuss your parents’ plans for their future care, asking whether they have a health care power of attorney, a will, any wishes for their funeral, etc. These are important things that ought to be arranged while your parents are capable of doing so. However, if they resist discussing end-of-life issues, please leave it alone.

Dear Annie: I teach treatment of sexual dysfunction at Loma Linda University School of Medicine. You correctly identify low testosterone as an important cause of loss of desire. However, I have found in many cases that the cause is simple boredom with a wife’s participation.

Men and women both require an average of 12 minutes of foreplay to reach full arousal. A wife who takes turns providing pleasure should find her partner more eager for sex. Men respond to action far more than words. When there is an expectation of prolonged mutual pleasuring, it creates a lovely aura of arousal long before the clothes come off.

Please remind women that a man is aroused by the sight of his wife’s naked body not because she’s a supermodel, but because her body is only shown to him. Mood lighting can help. A semi-closed dressing gown or the sight of her in one of his not-quite-long-enough shirts can be a powerful visual stimulant to a man who sees offering sex as the most powerful statement of love and caring.

You do great good by helping women understand that men will never behave or understand them the way a girlfriend does. We men really are different and often are unable to express our needs clearly. -- D.B. M.D. Loma Linda, Calif.
