City offering $2.16M for State School property BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After receiving an offer from the state to sell the site on North Main Street that formerly housed the Laconia State School to the city for $10-million, the City Council last night voted to authorize City Manager Scott Myers and City Council Matt Lahey (Ward 2) to make a counter offer to purchase the property, along
with the Robbie Mills Sports Complex for $2.16-million. Five of the six councilors — Lahey, Ava Doyle (Ward 1) Henry Lipman (Ward 3, Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) — voted in favor with Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) the lone dissenter. Last year, the Legislature directed the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to offer the entire
site to the city for “not less than $10-million” and, if by June 30, 2012 the city failed to accept the offer, to offer it to Belknap County “at fair market value” with a deadline of August 15, 2012. If neither the city nor the county purchased the property, it would be put on the open market or no less than its fair market value. Lawmakers stipulated that proceeds see STATE SCHOOL page 8

LACONIA — Birdwatchers, biologists and Public Service of New Hampshire thought last week that they had solved the dilemma presented by the pair of osprey that had selected the top of an electric utility pole overlooking Lake Opechee as this year’s nest site. The solution, which was carried out on Friday, was to erect a pole nearby with a readymade nest and to tear down the existing one. However, proving that persistence is key to the bird’s survival – the osprey makes a yearly migration from New England to South America, crossing several hundred miles of open sea – the pair of birds over the weekend attempted to rebuild the see OSPREY page 14
Future said bright for advanced manufacturing in N.H. if . . . BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

How much to have your appendix removed? $1,500 to $180,000!
CHICAGO (AP) — What do hospitals charge to remove an appendix? The startling answer is that it could be the same as the price of a refrigerator — or a house. It’s a common, straightforward operation, so you might expect charges to be similar no matter where the surgery takes place. Yet a California study found huge disparities in patients’ bills — $1,500 to $180,000, with an average of $33,000. The researchers and other experts say the results aren’t unique to California and illustrate a broken system. “There’s no method to the madness,” said lead author Dr. Renee Hsia, an emergency room physician and researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. “There’s no system at all to determine what is a rational price for this condition or this procedure.” The disparities are partly explained by differences among patients and where they were treated.

Now out on $150K bail, Zimmerman fades from sight SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman, who slipped out of jail on $150,000 bail in the early morning darkness, went back into hiding Monday and likely fled to another state to avoid threats as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for the killing of Trayvon Martin. Later Monday, the Sanford City Commission rejected by a 3-2 vote the resignation of Police Chief Bill Lee, who was roundly criticized for not initially charging Zim-
merman and had stepped down temporarily in March he said to let emotions cool. Even though authorities can pinpoint Zimmerman’s location with a GPS ankle bracelet, that he must wear round the clock, the public may not see him again for some time. Zimmerman has waived his appearance at his upcoming arraignment next month, so he can stay underground if he wants. Zimmerman already has experience
laying low: For more than a month before his arrest, he eluded the media and his whereabouts were not known. His attorney has suggested he had several options for where Zimmerman can stay this time, and a judge indicated he was willing to let Zimmerman leave the state. Until the next time he must come before a judge, Zimmerman will have to skip such routine pleasures as eating in a restausee ZIMMERMAN page 12
ASTON, Pa. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday embraced a student loan proposal that President Barack Obama is selling on the campaign trail and refused to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio’s conservative immigration plan aimed at helping young illegal immigrants. The two policy positions signaled an effort by Romney to move to the political center as he works to court critical gen-
eral election swing voters — including young voters and Hispanic voters — after a brutal primary fight. “I think young voters in this country have to vote for me if they’re really thinking of what’s in the best interest of the country and what’s in their personal best interest,” Romney said as he stood next to Rubio, R-Fla. Romney was campaigning in Pennsylva-
nia a day before the state’s primary — he doesn’t have serious opposition now that Sen. Rick Santorum has dropped out of the race — and answered reporters’ questions for the first time since effectively securing the GOP presidential nomination. House Republicans oppose legislation to extend temporarily low-interest rates for student loans. Obama has been pushing see ROMNEY page 13

France’s Sarkozy will hunt on far right for votes needed for victory PARIS (AP) — President Nicolas Sarkozy starkly laid out his path to re-election Monday: He will be plunging deep into farright territory to hunt the votes he needs to beat Socialist challenger Francois Hollande in the runoff. A day after Hollande won a slim upper
hand in the first round of voting, Sarkozy candidly ogled voters of the far-right National Front whose candidate, Marine Le Pen, placed a solid third. She gave the party its highest-ever score, nearly 18 percent — close to one-in-five voters and the biggest surprise of Sunday’s first round vote.

Manchester sues over GOP’s House redistricting plan
MANCHESTER (AP) — New Hampshire’s largest city sued Monday to block implementation of a House plan to redraw its districts to adjust for population changes over the past decade, saying it is entitled to more representatives than it would get under the plan. Manchester claims in the lawsuit that the plan is unconstitutional because the city deserves 33 or 34 representatives on its own. Instead, the city gets 31 representatives under the plan. Two additional representatives would represent two city wards plus the town of Litchfield. The city argues it has little in common with Litchfield, and each municipality should have its own representatives instead of sharing. Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said the city has valid concerns with the plan because it will lose representation and that is unacceptable. House Speaker William O’Brien criticized Manchester for wasting taxpayer money by tying the issue up in the courts. The Republican Legislature passed the plan over Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto. Lynch said each town and city ward with sufficient population deserved a representative but the plan failed to do that. He said 62 towns and wards deserved their own seats but did not get one. The Republican plan would create more than 200 new districts, nearly doubling the number that exists now. Democrats had argued it’s unconstitutional because dozens of towns and city wards that deserve their own representative would not get one.

Dutch government quits after austerity talks THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government, one of the most vocal critics of European countries failing to rein in their budgets, quit Monday after failing to agree on a plan to bring its own deficit in line with EU rules. Prime Minister Mark Rutte tendered the resignation of his entire Cabinet to Queen Beatrix, effective immediately, after Rutte informed her talks on a new austerity package collapsed over the weekend. Rutte is to debate with parliament Tuesday on whether and how his caretaker government can still improve the budget, and when to schedule new elections. No date was immediately announced, but opposition lawmakers called for a vote in late June. Opposition Labor Party leader Diederik Samsom accused Rutte of “dropping the ball at the worst possible moment” for the Dutch economy and demanded elections as soon as possible. The Dutch government collapse came a day after
the first round election victory of France’s socialist candidate Francois Hollande, who has said he wants to focus less on austerity and more on economic growth. The two developments call into question whether budget-cutting policies that are causing trauma in countries such as Greece, Spain and Portugal can be enforced even in “core” European countries such as France — or in the Netherlands, one of the few along with Germany to maintain an AAA credit rating. Rutte’s hopes to clinch a deal to lower the deficit to within the EU’s 3 percent target evaporated Saturday when his most important political ally, populist euroskeptic Geert Wilders, cut off talks, saying a slavish adherence to European rules was foolish and would harm the Dutch economy. It doesn’t make sense “to suffer for the sake of the dictators in Brussels,” Wilders said.

94% of Seniors Have Inadequate Health Insurance
By Dave Kutcher So you think your Health Insurance is great, but it won’t cover the ramifications of the following illnesses: • Limitations of Parkinson’s Disease • Extra care needed to deal with chronic Arthritis • Incapacity of Multiple Sclerosis • Dsisability caused by stroke • Care needed due to Alzheimer’s Your insurance and health care in the U.S. is designed to handle acute illnesses, illnesses that the doctors can fix by checking you into the hospital, fixing you and then releasing you. However, many illnesses do not behave this way. Many have a long-term debilitating nature and your insurance will not cover these long-term costs resulting from the illness. About 6% of people over the age of 65 in the U.S. have purchased long-term care insurance to cover these costs. They have realized the inadequacy of their own health insurance and pursued the protection they need. Other people close their eyes to the facts! (DAK financial encourages you to work with your advisor to come up with viable solutions for this potentially grim reality.) Cost Per Day At $155-$200 daily for long-term care, a person can accumulate a fairly significant long-term health care bill. It amazes me that with the high probability of requiring some type of long-term care, and with costs associated, more Americans don’t take the steps to minimize this risk. I guess you could liken it to colon cancer. You never need to die from this very dangerous cancer yet many adults, after age 50, neglect to have their first colonoscopy. Planning for long-term care liability is somewhat similar, in that you don’t have to have your savings wiped out, “do the planning now! Like Homeowners Insurance So let’s see, you are 60 plus, you either own long-term care Insurance or you have thought about getting it. You might procrastinate getting this important coverage because you may feel that your money will be wasted if you don’t use the insurance (although the same holds true for your car insurance and homeowners insurance, you would never think of not having these policies.) One solution is the return-of premium feature on a L.T.C. policy. It’s an optional feature offered by only a few long-term care insurance companies. With this feature, the insurance company will refund 100% of your premiums if you do not use the policy and then die. You pay extra for this refund, but if you bet correctly, all of the premiums you pay will be refunded. Of course, the check will go to your beneficiary. Simply purchase a Life policy that offers an accelerated provision allowing you, the owner and insured, the ability to access a portion of the death benefit while you are still living. This provides a meaningful and substantive way to pay for home care and long-term care. If you never use the long-term care benefits the death benefit can be tax free to your beneficiary. The cash value can accumulate at very attractive levels as the interest compounds without taxation.

Firefighters battle a blaze in an apartment building at 12 Dover Street in Meredith Village on Saturday night. (Tom Mitchell photo)
5 firefighters injured during long Saturday night battle with Meredith apartment building blaze MEREDITH — Fire severely damaged the five units of a two-and-a-half story apartment building at 12 Dover Street, leaving left eight people, including a 16-month-old child, homeless and sending four firefighters to the hospital on Saturday night. Reported shortly after 8 p.m., the fire was apparently started by a smoldering cigarette on the porch of a second-floor unit, which was aflame when the first firefighters arrived. Fire spread quickly into the walls of the building, running into the apartment on the second floor as well as a unit in the attic, where the damage was heaviest. The remaining units on the first and second floors suffered damage from smoke and water. Although the blaze on the porch was quickly suppressed, firefighters spent hours extinguishing the fire inside the building and did not clear the scene until after 12:30 a.m. There were no tenants in the building when the fire began. But, four firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion, one at the scene and three at Lakes
Region General Hospital. A fifth firefighter, who Deputy Chief Andre Kloetz said was one of three to fall on the slippery staircase leading to the second floor, was treated for a broken nose facial injuries. Kloetz said all five firefighters have recovered. Kloetz said that the Red Cross arranged lodging for several displaced tenants at the nearby Inns at Mill Falls. Red Cross officials said that the agency also provided food and clothing, including baby formula and a portable crib, for the child. Firefighters from Laconia, Center Harbor, Holderness and Moultonborough assisted the Meredith department in quelling the fire. Built in 1875, the 3,279-square-foot building is owned by Mark and Cynthia Detscher and has an assessed value of $176.800. Kloetz estimated the cost of restoring the five units at approximately $200,000. — Michael Kitch

Council advised there’s no quick fix for getting remains of Wide Open Saloon on the ground BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Reporting on the effort to raze the Wide Open Saloon at Weirs Beach, which has stood derelict since burning more than 18 months ago, City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council last night that “there is not a quick resolution in sight.” Myers said Brandi Baldi, the owner of the property, has appealed the decision of the Belknap County Superior Court upholding the city’s order to demolish the building to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which has agreed to consider the appeal. He said the justices could take six to nine months to issue their decision. Myers said that an offer by the city to mediate the dispute failed when the city refused to waive its right to require any redevelopment of the property to undergo the planning process. Baldi had one year from the date of the September 2010 fire to rebuild in the same footprint, without being subject to current land use restrictions. Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) said that apart from the eyesore the building represents residents and business owners at The Weirs have also raised concerns that it may pose an environmental hazard. “People are concerned by the airborne mold and what might be in the ash,” she said. Myers said that the city could return to court and seek to demonstrate that the condition of the building presented an “imminent threat” to public safety. But, first he said that the city would have to secure the permission of the court to enter and assess the property and solicit bids to demolish the building and remove any contaminants, like asbestos. Then the court would have to approve the cost of demolition and authorize the city to recoup them from the owner. He suggested the process could take between four to seven weeks with no assurance the city would prevail. The council directed Myers to explore all available options. “It’s not for lack of a decision on the part of the city that the building is still standing,” Myers said.

Liz Merry to manage Jackie Cilley’s campaign for governor BARRINGTON – Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jackie Cilley announced Monday that Elizabeth “Liz” Merry of Laconia has joined her team as campaign manager. Merry has over 30 years experience working in both large corporations and running her own small businesses. Over the last 10 years, she has worked as a consultant on complex projects, process effectiveness, sales and marketing. She also has significant experience overseeing health and the environment organizations. Merry was the Statehouse Representative for Sanbornton and Tilton from 2008 to 2010 and is an active member of the New Hampshire Democrats, having served as chair of the Belknap County Democrats. Her experience in working at the local level underscores her understanding of how many dedicated people are committed to making New Hampshire one of the best states in which to live, said Cilley.
“We are delighted to have Liz take in this leadership role within the campaign,” added Cilley. “Her strategic vision and competency in developing high performance systems will take this campaign forward in new ways. Liz has already been providing leadership to the many talented volunteers and professional experts who have shaped and are executing our campaign plan.” “We’re a different kind of campaign,” Cilley went on to say. “We’re very much a grassroots, peoplepowered campaign and Liz knows how to work with average folks who want to be part of this exciting movement. She lives here in New Hampshire and our citizens appreciate working with someone who has a permanent interest in our state, just as I do.”

We’re still largely using Banking System of education Brazilian educator Paulo Freire wrote extensively about the pitfalls and hopes of education. He believed that much education in the world maintained oppression through what he called the “banking system” of education. This system is characterized by the following: a. the teacher teaches and the students are taught; b. the teacher knows everything and the students know nothing; c. the teacher thinks and the students are thought about; d. the teacher talks and the students listen — meekly; e. the teacher disciplines and the students are disciplined; f. the teacher chooses and enforces his choice, and the students comply; g. the teacher acts and the students have the illusion of acting through the action of the teacher; h. the teacher chooses the program content, and the students (who were not consulted) adapt to it; i. the teacher confuses the authority of knowledge with his own professional authority, which he sets in opposition to the freedom of the students; j. the teacher is the subject of the learning process, while the pupils are mere objects. This system undermines imagination, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, compassion and interpersonal relations because of the absence of dialogue and experiential and cooperative learning. It assumes that learning is a one-way street and that the teacher learns nothing from the students and the students learn nothing from each other. Although some schools are gradually moving in the direction of problem-posing education, there is still a long way to go. Many classrooms still have straight rows of chairs with the teacher doing most of the talking. Under the banking system, “The teacher talks about reality as if it were motionless, static, compartmentalized, and predictable. Or else he expounds on a topic completely alien to the existential experience of the students. His task is to “fill” the students with the contents of his narration — contents which are detached from reality, disconnected from the totality that engendered them and could give them significance. Words are emptied of their concreteness and become a hollow, alienated, and alienating verbosity”. (http://faculty.dwc. edu/wellman/Friere.htm). In such a system, students become domesticated to perpetuate the culture in its present form rather than trying to improve it. The resistance to problem-posing education is that problems would have to be admitted, such as racism. Schools are no different than individuals in their resistance to change otherwise we would have given up such barbaric practices as war a long time ago. Breaking up grades from kinder-
garten to 12 has nothing to do with how children develop yet that relic of the past is still with us because of tradition. Freire stated that “It is not surprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings. The more students work at storing the deposits entrusted to them, the less they develop the critical consciousness which would result from their intervention in the world as transformers of that world. The more completely they accept the passive role imposed on them, the more they tend simply to adapt to the world as it is and to the fragmented view of reality deposited in them”. Children from the age of 12 on are capable of abstract, hypothetical reasoning. Combine this with youthful idealism and you have young people who have the capacity to solve many of the problems that plague societies and the world. Schools have the capacity to educate students to their full capacity as humans in all areas – physical, intellectual, interpersonal, ethical and spiritual – but too often they only focus on part of the intellect – memory. This is a serious problem given the fact that 95-percent of facts learned in school are forgotten shortly after graduation. What is never forgotten, however, is the process of learning and when that is emphasized, students become lifelong learners and society’s most ideal citizens because they never stop ask questions, never feel they have the whole story and never are satisfied with pat answers and slogans intended to pacify them. They are also not easily distracted from important events in the world because they are less likely to be hypnotized by mass media. The oppressors of society are the ones who control the media – mainly four corporations. According to Noam Chomsky “The real mass media are basically trying to divert people. Let them do something else, but don’t bother us (us being the people who run the show). Let them get interested in professional sports, for example. Let everybody be crazed about professional sports or sex scandals or the personalities and their problems or something like that. Anything, as long as it isn’t serious. Of course, the serious stuff is for the big guys. “We” take care of that…Furthermore, most of them (media) are either linked to, or outright owned by, much bigger corporations, like General Electric, Westinghouse, and so on. They are way up at the top of the power structure of the private economy which is a very tyrannical structure. Corporations are basically tyrannies, hierarchic, controlled from above. If you don’t like what they are doing you get out. The major media are just part of that system.” (http://www.chomsky.info/articles/199710--.htm). For Chomsky, the intent of the media is see next page
LETTERS Your letters are what gives off impression you’re not moderate To the editor, This is probably one of the hardest letters I have ever written, but first the easy part. Thank you Mr. Earle for your truly heartfelt concern and well wishes for my family. I want you to know that we will always carry the scars from this incident, both physical and emotional, but we will carry on and be stronger because of it. Now the hard part. I feel like I’m in a Lovin’ Spoonful song from the sixties, “. . . it’s like tryin’ to tell a stranger about rock-n-roll”. A true moderate, may disagree with someone but probably wouldn’t resort to name calling, even if called names themselves. My main defense on this is that perhaps you should re-read you’re letters where you are not responding to someone else and offering what are you’re obvious opinions. I believe it was you who claimed that Democrats supported the war in Iraq, you had seen them on T.V. you said. And of course, as far as it goes, that is true, however what you failed to mention is that prior to anyone supporting this ill-advised war, was Colin Powell on TV also, saying he was absolutely certain that the building pictured behind him was a factory for weapons of mass destruction. In a recent letter you try to justify that same war by saying that Saddam had attempted to kill George H.W.Bush. Do you have a date that he made this attempt? If what you mean is he threatened to kill Mr. Bush, I’m sure you are correct about that, he was most likely angry that the first Bush administration dragged it’s collective feet about Kuwait and then came running to their defense when Iraq attacked them.
You claim you would like to buy an electric car, but it is cost prohibitive, again you are probably right about the cost, but then you go on to be pretty much a shill for the oil companies. Who do you think is spending millions of their record-breaking profits on lobbying against electric cars? A while back you wrote that people believe they can pick and choose which laws they want to obey, I wish I could remember the specifics about that letter, but I can’t so I will tell you that I whole heartily agree with you. I don’t like it when people think that speeding, tailgating, and running red lights and stop signs is perfectly okay. My new favorite sign (because it wasn’t a bumper sticker, if I can find one though I would buy it) said, “If you tailgate me I might go slower” One theme of you’re letters had to do with Democrats voting for Herman Cain because he is an African-American. But most ,if not all, moderates I know, would pick the best candidates on the ballot no matter the color of their skin. Now I don’t always agree with you Mr. Earle, but I certainly agree that me calling you anything doesn’t make it so. Just the same as you saying I might wear a chicken suit to some tea party rally is just a bunch of fluff you dreamed up with you’re obviously over active imagination. You’re letters are what give people the impression that you might be not so moderate. One last point to make: just saw that gas prices are going down, I’m sure you will be giving all the credit for that to President Obama. Marty Valengavich Belmont
4 years with Obama have been worst disaster since Pearl Harbor To the editor, Rush Limbangh, and James Veverka do not speak for Christians, or anyone else come to that, they both speak like fools. Limbaugh insults the left, Veverka insults the right, Fox news, the Catholic Church, protestants, and even fundamentalists, which proves they went to the same school, just like Obama went to an American school, run by who? Jeremiah Wright.
Listen friends, we will make our own choices for president and good Americans have commons sense to know the last four years of Obama have been the worst disaster since Pearl Harbor. Limbangh and Veverka don’t speak for you, they think they do. Prove them wrong and let your voice come from your heart. God Bless America. William McCoy Belmont

LETTERS Point was that traffic at Bike Week is scary, not bikers themselves
Franka Guinta is the man to firmly address illegal immigration
To the editor, As I read the letter in Saturday, April 21’s Daily Sun, I wonder if Diana Field read the same article about Inter-Lakes graduation that the rest of us read on Wednesday, April 11. It seems as though she was taking offense when there was nothing to take offense for. She quoted Mrs. Baggaley as referring to the crowd as “scary bikers.” Not one time in the article were the bikers referred to as “scary.” That is the word Ms. Field inserted. Simply put, Mrs. Baggaley was referring to the sheer volume of traffic in the Weirs, in general, during Motorcycle Week, motorcycles and vehicles alike. I believe that Mrs. Baggaley’s concern, as is mine and many others, was the fact that the kids were being forced into driving in a situation that not only puts themselves at risk, as less experienced drivers, but the guests (particularly the elderly) and the bikers as well. I, along with several other parents, just thought that another time would have been more appropriate for the graduation. Why Friday night of Motorcycle week at Meadowbrook when there were alter-
To the editor, America has a major problem with illegal immigration, and it’s only getting worse. I want to thank Congressman Frank Guinta for taking action against the massive influx of illegal immigrants entering our country every single day. He supports building both a physical wall, using new technology (unmanned aerial vehicles) and adding more personnel on the ground. If we wait any longer to put these safeguards in place, the number of illegals will continue to increase. By fighting for bills such as the Legal Work Force Act, our representative is advocating for laws that would ensure employers would have to use an E-Verify system when hiring new employees. This will help stop the hiring of illegal immi-
native dates, times and places? Ms. Field may feel comfortable being alone in the Weirs during Motorcycle Week, but that is her choice, as an adult. The kids are being asked to arrive long before the guests, which means that they will be arriving and leaving without their parents. Ms. Field says that the dangerous behavior and drunk driving goes on “every weekend” in the Weirs “way before the bikers even get here.” Let’s get real ... statistics show that there are more arrests, more drunk driving and more accidents (mostly involving motorcycles) during that week, particularly Friday and Saturday night at the end of Motorcycle Week. Why? Because of the VOLUME of people, not the TYPE of people. Most bikers, most people, in general, are good, decent people, but in any situation where there are A LOT of people, you are bound to have problems, that’s a given. In closing, I would encourage Ms. Field to re-read the article and take it for what it is and leave it at that. Crystal Furnee Proud Parent of a Graduating Inter-Lakes Senior Meredith
Sorry, keeping my dictators straight can be a real challenge To the editor, Tuesday’s paper has a letter from James Veverka that should remind readers of how progressive liberals deal with those who’s ideas differ from theirs. Gosh! Steam heat had nothing on this letter it virtually screamed hate and malice. One could almost hear the rising pitch of the voice in his head as he hammered on his keyboard with name calling vindictiveness. I hope he didn’t heart himself. But here on Wednesday he seems to have recovered a bit as he caught
me on a mistake. Hitler and the Nazi’s didn’t establish socialized health care in Germany. That was a previous dictator, Otto Von Bismark. Sorry for the mistake readers. Keeping my dictators straight can be a challenge. But still I stand by my statement that Nazi Germany had far more in common with the USSR then with the USA. And I still challenge anyone to give us an example of a successful, stand alone socialists nation. Steve Earle Hill
Taxpayers of Sanbornton are entitled to vote by secret ballot To the editor, I am hoping that this year the majority of Sanbornton’s voters will say yes to Question #1 which will allow us to adopt SB-2 on election day — May 8. The adoption of SB-2 allows all residents to vote on the town budget in the privacy of the election booth. Currently only those who attend Town Meeting are allowed to determine decisions made regarding town policy, procedure and budget. There are approximately 150 Sanbornton residents who attend the town meeting — a poor turnout that allows a only few people to determine how much money is going to spent and how much it will impact our tax rate.
from preceding page to keep “ignorant meddlesome outsiders”, known as the general public, from knowing what is going in at the highest levels of decision-making. Thus, when education is devoted to repressing full human development, people are more easily manipulated and controlled by big corporations consorting with the government. The kind of education that Freire proposes liberates people so that they not only become aware of their own oppression but also the oppression of others. When this happens they become
SB-2 will allow ALL residents to vote on the town budget in the privacy of a voting booth and not allow a minority of town residents to determine how our tax dollars will be spent. The taxpayers of Sanbornton are entitled to our constitutional right to a secret ballot, not only on Election Day, but also when voting on a town budget of $4 to $5-million dollars. All Sanbornton residents should vote YES on Question #1 to adopt this very important change. Lets put the control of the town budget in the hands of all town residents. Bill Whalen Sanbornton
mobilized to action. This is beginning to happen because people now have access to facts and ideas outside of the confines of their “two by four” classrooms (two pages of a book and four walls). The occupy movement is a good example of this and it is a world-wide movement that is growing daily and not likely to go away until peace and social justice achieve fruition. (Leo R. Sandy is professor of counselor education at Plymouth State University and a consulting school psychologist.)
grants and halt a magnet that draws illegals into our country every day. On top of that, Frank Guinta refuses to support amnesty for those immigrants who already broke the law and came here illegally. He also doesn’t support legislation that would give Social Security or free education to those here illegally — compare that to our former congresswoman who supported the DREAM Act, which would give your hard-earned tax dollars to pay for illegal immigrants to go to college. We need someone who will firmly address illegal immigration, before it gets so far out of control that there is no turning back. And Frank Guinta is the man for the job. Mike Gaumont Laconia
I’m proud to work with the men & women of Belmont Fire Dept. To the editor, Last week the men and women of the Belmont Fire Department were faced with two large challenges. One of their brothers lost his battle to cancer and they also confronted a three alarm fire on Gale Street. These firefighters faced both challenges with the caring and passion I have come to recognize as commonplace in their daily actions. They were assisted in both events by members of neighboring and distant fire departments, as well as members of the Belmont Police Department.
The results of the actions of all involved were a rapid extinguishment of a quickly developing fire and a touching and moving memorial service for a brother firefighter and friend. I am extremely proud to work with these men and women and just wanted to take a moment and make sure all of you know what kind of people you have protecting you and your property every day.

STATE SCHOOL from page one from the sale would be deposited in the state’s “revenue stabilization reserve account,” or “Rainy Day Fund. However, the appraisal prepared for the DAS by the Bureau of Right-of-Way of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation placed the value of the site at $2.16-million. The appraisal closely matches the value calculated by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research, who appraised much but not all of the site for the city in June, 2011. State law (RSA 4:40) stipulates that sales of state-owned real estate “shall be at not less than a current value of the subject property.” In a letter to Mike Connor of DAS, Lahey reminded him that the value of the property was diminished by environmental conditions that must be corrected before it can be developed. The state, as the responsible party for the contamination cannot access funding from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess and address the contamination, but the city can. The Legislature directed the DAS to report to the Fiscal Committee, which consists of five members of the House of Representatives and five members of the Senate, quarterly on the progress of selling the property. The committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday, April 26, when it could consider the city’s offer.
LACONIA PUBLIC LIBRARY
Initially, city officials contemplated framing an offer to purchase the 77 acres north of Right Way Path along with about 60 acres adjacent to the Robbie Mills Sports Complex bounded by Eastman Road and Green Street, which is known as Risley Field, where relatively minor environmental risks have been identified. The offer would also include the acquisition of the two smaller lots. At the same time, the city would seek an option on the remaining 62 acres south of Right Way Path contingent on securing sufficient funds to address the contamination. However, because the appraised value fell so far shy of the state’s initial asking price, there was concern that offering less than market value and framing a more complex transaction could prompt the Legislature to abandon the sale, retain the property and put it to a use not to the city’s liking. Instead, the City Council included the Robbie Mills Sports Complex, 10.2-acres owned by the state and leased to the city for 99 years, in its counteroffer. The sports complex, which was part of the Laconia State School campus, was not included in either appraisal of the property. The remainder of the property consists of three tax parcels. The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and Eastman Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in

half by Right Way Path. There are some 26 buildings on the parcel, all in varying degrees of disrepair, all but a handful on its western half. Likewise, numerous sources of likely contamination were identified on the parcel by Credere Associates, LLC in 2010, most within some 62 acres south of Right Way Path where about two-thirds of the buildings are congregated. Two underground storage tanks and petroleum stained soil was found just north of Right Way Path. The parcel was appraised at $1,760,000, There are two smaller parcels. An undeveloped 10.4-acre lot at the junction of Old North Main Street and North Main Street that houses a stateowned sewer pump station and North Main Street. was appraised at $300,000. An unimproved wooded lot of 7.5-acres at the corner of Lane Road and Meredith Center Road was appraised at $100,000. The state leased both smaller parcels to the city in 2000 for 99 years at $1 a year. Lahey suggested that the city could consider selling the two smaller parcels and apply the proceeds towards the cost of redeveloping the site. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will contribute up to $350,000 for a Phase II environmental assessment, which Rip Patten of Credere anticipates will be sufficient to assess the entire site. The city need not own the property to apply for funding to assess it, but must own the property and not be responsible for the contamination to apply for funding to clean it up. The EPA Brownfields Cleanup Program awards grants of up to $200,000 per property parcel for as many as three parcels a year, with a 20-percent local match in cash or kind. City Manager Scott Myers said that by subdividing the contaminated portion of the site into three separate parcels, the city could apply for as much as $1.2-million in a two- year period to fund clean up at the site. If the Phase II assessment is completed next year, funds could be secured in 2014 and cleanup work begun in 2015. In addition, the EPA provides grants of up to $1-million to municipalities and economic development corporations, like the Belknap County Economic Development Council, to capitalize revolving loan funds, which provide low or no-interest loans to forprofit and no-profit entities for clean up operations. SCANDAL from page one House Communications Agency, a military unit that provides secure communications for the president. The defense officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said he is an enlisted man. One of the officials said he is in the Army. Another of the officials said the soldier has been relieved of his duties at the White House. Meanwhile, the White House still faced fire Monday because of the prostitution scandal. It moved anew to keep itself at arm’s length in two ways. Led by its top lawyer, the White House internally investigated and then ruled out misconduct by the White House staff members who helped arrange the president’s trip ahead of his arrival in Colombia. Obama’s chief spokesman, Jay Carney, sought to make clear that the “White House Communications Agency,” which has now been implicated by the widening scandal, is a military unit and not a White House one. “These are military personnel, staffed by the military, they are not members of the White House staff, they are not chosen by the White House senior staff,” Carney said. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the Pentagon has suspended the security clearances of the dozen military members under investigation in the scandal. The Secret Service had previously revoked the top-secret clearances for the officers involved. Six Secret Service employees, including two supervisors, have been forced out of the agency amid the scandal that erupted the morning of April 12 when a fight over payment between a Colombian prostitute and a Secret Service officer spilled into the hallway of the Hotel Caribe. They were part of Obama’s advance security team in Cartagena. One officer was cleared of serious wrongdoing but will face administrative action, the agency said Friday. The remaining five officers have been suspended.

LETTERS More people will vote under SB-2 than go to Town Meeting To the editor, In a very few short weeks voters of Sanbornton will go to the polls to vote for town officials and other important questions on Tuesday, May 8 by ballot. This represents a long, treasured tradition of democracy in Sanbornton. Included on the ballot this year is a request by thoughtful citizens to consider supporting a ballot question known as “SB-2”. I ask voters to clearly consider this question and vote YES. History of town elections in Sanbornton demonstrates that more people will vote at the ballot box on important questions facing the town than those who are able to attend a Wednesday evening town meeting. Often older citizens and parents of young children are unable to attend, however, with all day voting they would have an improved opportunity
to vote. That is good! An important feature about SB-2 is that town meeting will continue in a manner know as the Deliberative Session. At this town meeting session voters will be able to discuss each article being presented by the Board of Selectman and Budget Committee. Ask questions and approve the question wording for ballot voting. What a wonderful way to participate in the democratic system. The final step would occur a few weeks later when voters will have an entire day to visit the town polls and vote without any pressure on their choice on all important questions. YES, let’s continue the tradition of a town meeting session by voting on May 8th, YES to SB-2. Brian S. Gallagher Sanbornton

Why are we ignoring the huge drop in natural gas prices? To the editor, President Obama has been accused of causing gasoline prices to go through the roof. It is as ridiculous to make that claim, as is the claim that he has caused natural gas prices to drop from $10 to $2 a thousand cubic feet from 2008 to today. My research shows some extremely positive effects of this very low gas price on into the future. Electricity prices have dropped 50-percent, with the gas price drop, since Obama took office. So a lot of drivers are affected by gasoline prices, while city dwellers, and there are many, are benefiting tremendously. I can’t understand why
talking heads seem to ignore this important news. This would appear to almost like a tax cut to all of us. The criticism of Obama for stopping coal powered electric plants seems to be misplaced. It appears that gas fired power plants will have lower dollar costs, as well as lower negative impact on the environment. The government will have to reexamine its energy policies toward all sources of energy, including the alternatives of sun, wind, and biomass. These do not appear to be in a position to compete with gas/electric. Kent Warner Center Harbor
We have right to know if ALEC is writing these bills NH GOP wants To the editor, As we near Shakespeare’s birthday (April 26), I’m looking at this quote and online interpretation: “When Antony calls Brutus’s stabbing of Caesar ‘the most unkindest cut of all,’ he is playing on two senses of unkind — inhumane and unnatural. According to Antony, when Brutus literally ‘cut’ the loving Caesar, a bloody deed was compounded with ingratitude. It wasn’t the wound that killed Caesar, says Antony, but Brutus’s treachery.” (e-notes)
enacted laws under our devoutly Republican House and Senate are ALEC-written laws? I think we have a right to know. They involve, many of them, the most unkind cuts to human needs in our state. They need repealing. They are neither a product of New Hampshire nor representative of New Hampshire. It’s a kind of cheating, as well as effectively treacherous, to pass ALEC-written laws in New Hampshire. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

If you had a choice between a set of removable dentures or permanent replacement teeth that look and feel like your own, which would your choose? What if the replacement teeth would also allow you to speak and eat with comfort and confidence, offer you freedom from irksome clicks and wobbles, and say goodbye to messy pastes and glues? Dental implants are a durable and effective alternative to dentures, and are growing in popularity. The ideal candidate for implants is in good general and oral health, and has adequate bone to support the implant. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. Since they integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany conventional bridgework and dentures. One advantage to implants is that they can allow tooth replacement without relying on neighboring tooth for support, so this helps to protect and preserve these neighbors. The technology behind implant dentistry has matured, so it is now possible to deliver implant supported teeth with a high level of confidence in a positive outcome. Dr. Felt has more than 20 years of experience in placing and restoring dental implants. Ask about putting this technology to work for you.

Protecting the French identity, French civilization, French borders, French workers, French youth, French retirees were all on Sarkozy’s agenda — and all are themes dear to the National Front. Sarkozy and Hollande, both 57, used their first post-election speeches to lure far-right voters to their respective camps ahead of the May 6 final round. But Hollande did so more softly. The math is brutal. Hollande won 28.6 percent of Sunday’s vote, Sarkozy won 27.2 percent and both need votes from Le Pen’s far right to climb over 50 percent — but mostly Sarkozy.

Josh McKenna shows a prototype product that he is working on to Gary Groleau, senior divisional manager of New Hampshire Ball Bearing’s Astro Division, which employs nearly 500 people in the O’Shea Industrial Park in Laconia. (Roger Amsden photo for the Laconia Daily Sun)
MFG from page one at New Hampshire Ball Bearings’ Astro Division. The company employs nearly 500 people, making it Laconia’s second largest employer. ‘’They’re (the jobs) are coming back with an absolute vengeance,’’ says Groleau, who says that a big part of the reason is that America excels at advanced manufacturing which utilizes high technology. He’s a member of an advisory committee working with Lakes Region Community College to develop an advanced manufacturing program which will help provide workers with the skills needed to work with the sophisticated equipment high tech industries use. ‘’We’re seeing a skills gap that is coupled with a labor shortage which is unprecedented. Every day some 10,000 baby boomers are retiring and we don’t have enough young people with the skills to fill those vacancies,’’ says Groleau. Tom Goulette, academic affairs vice president at LRCC, says the college has received a three-year $979,000 grant to develop an advanced manufacturing program. The grant is part of nearly $20-million federal grant received by the state last year as part of a national $500-million program for community colleges. “We’re looking to develop specific specific skill sets that local manufacturers need. We’re working with businesses to develop a curriculum and we’ll be doing recruiting and intake this summer, hiring a program coordinator and faculty and be ready to start the program on Sept. 1’’ says Goulette. He says two certificates are being offered, a Workforce Readiness Certificate that is a short-term program focusing on communication, math, work ethic, and understanding of the manufacturing process. The second is the Manufacturing Certificate that is a year-long program which will provide extensive training in advanced communications and math. A two-year Associates degree program is also being developed. ‘’We’ll prepare people for entry level
then provide more hands-on training in the full-year certificate program. And we’re looking to develop internship programs for students that could well lead to full-time jobs down the road,’’ says Goulette. He says the students will get to use and program CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machines and develop the skills that will enable them to work as machinists and tool and die makers. Both Goulette and Groleau say that there is a need for a societal change in how manufacturing is viewed in order for programs like the one underway to work effectively. ‘’Young people don’t see it is a good career choice. They think factories are dirty places with oil stained floors and poor working conditions. That’s just not true. Modern manufacturing facilities are clean and safe and excellent places to work. They offer the highest pay and best benefits and the best chances of advancement. The firms invest in the workers through training and have programs to help them take college courses,’’ says Groleau. One worker who has seen the benefit of a career in manufacturing is Josh McKenna of Moultonborough, who went to work at the Astro Division of NHBB 15 years ago, and, thanks to on-the-job training is now a CNC set up operator who works on high complexity prototypes of products the company wants to put into production. ‘’This isn’t cookie cutter stuff. It’s really challenging and a lot of fun,’’ says McKenna, whose message to high school students is that they need to master math and the workplace skills needed to make them valued employees. “Josh has an extremely positive and focused attitude and that’s what we look for in our workers,’’ says Groleau. ‘’It’s really surprising how little people in the general public know about careers in industry,’’ says Goulette, who says that skilled machinists can easily earn well over $1,000 a week, which 50 percent more than the average weekly pay in the retail and

ZIMMERMAN from page 2 rant or taking a long stroll outside, said Jose Baez, a former attorney for Casey Anthony. Anthony, acquitted last summer of killing her 2-year-old daughter, went into hiding after her release from jail. “He may be free, but he’s not free,” Baez said. First, Zimmerman must limit who knows his whereabouts to avoid the risk someone will give the secret away, Baez said. “Unfortunately, the people you think you trust, sometimes you find you just really can’t,” Baez said. The police chief is on paid leave. Not too long ago, the commissioners gave him a “no confidence vote” that city Manager Norton Bonaparte said still stands. The shooting also led to the local prosecutor recusing himself from the case, and the governor appointing Angela Corey, who eventually charged Zimmerman. The majority of commissioners on Monday blamed the polarization over the Martin case and its handling by the police department on outside groups. Lee had supporters at the meeting who wore, “Bring Back Billy” T-shirts, though there were detractors as well. “I’m disappointed but not surprised,” said Velma Williams, the lone black representative on the commission who voted to accept the resignation. The majority of commissioners said they wanted to wait for an outside investigation to conclude into the handling of the case by police before accepting the resignation agreement drawn up by the city manager and Lee. Commissioners in reading from the agreement said Lee didn’t want to step down, but thought it was for the best. The city is also looking to find a permanent interim chief, perhaps as early as next week, Bonaparte said. As for Zimmerman, in order to throw
off curious onlookers and the media, he could change his look. Anthony went from a long-haired brunette to a bobbed blonde while serving a year of probation on an unrelated charge at an undisclosed location in Florida. Next, Zimmerman needs to go someplace where he knows few people and they don’t know him, said Evan Ratliff, who wrote the book (or at least the magazine article) on how to vanish in the 21st century. In 2009, Wired magazine challenged its readers to try to find Ratcliff, who deliberately vanished with the help of disguises, prepaid phones, fake business cards and software that protected his Internet identity, at least for a while. Ratliff eventually was caught because readers were able to trace him through the IP address of a computer he had used. “He needs to be where he is not around people who are known to be close to him,” Ratliff said. “Not a friend’s house. Not a relative’s house.” Zimmerman needs to refrain from making any public statements, whether via social media sites like Facebook or Twitter or his own website, www.therealgeorgezimmerman. com, both Baez and Ratliff said. Zimmerman is using his website to help raise money for his legal defense. Early indications are that will be tough for Zimmerman to resist. After a judge agreed to release him on bond, a statement placed on his website said, “GZ hopes to be able to update the site in the next day or two, God willing. He sends his thanks for your thoughts and support.” If he just can’t resist getting messages out to his supporters, Zimmerman may be better off using Facebook and Twitter instead of his website because it probably has much weaker security than the social media sites, Ratliff said.

Most people don’t realize how remarkable these firms are and the kinds of advanced engineering products they make. We hope to introduce a lot of people to that and let them know what opportunities are available right here where they live,’’ says Goulette.
In addition to NHBB, manufacturing firms involved include Accelent, Baron Machine, Eptam Plastics, Freudenburg-NOK, Levasseur Precision and Stamping Technologies. Other partners include the Huot Technical Center at Laconia High School, the Belknap County Economic Development Council and the local Department of Employment Security Office.
Alzheimers patient found who wandered in Gilford woods GILFORD — An elderly man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who went missing in the wooded area between Wesley Way and Morrill Street around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday was found by fire-rescue personnel in dense woods some 200 yards from Gilford Avenue before nightfall, soon after 7 p.m. A search was mounted at 6:07 p.m. about 35 minutes after the man was last seen entering the woods in the direction of the hiking trails leading to and through Ramblin’ Vewe Farm. While K-9 Agbar began tracking the man, fire-rescue units were
deployed. One three-person crew and an ambulance went to Wesley Way with another with the rescue truck entered the woods from the trailhead at Ramblin’ Vewe Farm near the end of Boyd Hill Road, where a command post was established. Meanwhile, the utility truck and an ambulance patrolled the roads on the perimeter of the area being searched amid concerns that the man might seek to cross the heavily travelled Gilford Avenue or the Route 3/11 Bypass. Although disoriented, the man suffered only minor injuries and was released to the care of his family.
ROMNEY from page 2 Congress for the extension and planned a three-state tour this week to warn students of the potential financial catastrophe they will face if Congress fails to act. Interest rates are set to double on July 1, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, on a popular federal loan for low- and middle-income undergraduates. “I support extending the temporary relief on interest rates for students,” Romney said Monday, a day before five states hold primaries, though he did not offer specifics on how the extension should be paid for or how long it should last. He said he supports the extension because of “extraordinarily poor conditions in the job market.” Romney refused to embrace a Rubio proposal that would allow young illegal immigrants to remain in the United States to work or study. He did say there were provisions to “commend” it and that his campaign would “study the issue. Romney said during the South Carolina primary that all illegal immigrants should return to their home country and get in line to be eligible for U.S. citizenship. Rubio’s still-evolving bill would allow young illegal immigrants who graduated from high school and have no criminal record to obtain a nonimmigrant visa. They could stay in the United States, obtain a drivers’ license and work or continued their studies but would have no special path to citizenship. Romney’s answers illustrate the careful line he has to walk as he transitions from the primary to the general election, where he’ll have to tussle with Obama for support from the Hispanic, female and young voters who propelled Obama to victory in 2008. Obama, meanwhile, has to hang on to those
constituencies. His tour through North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa on Tuesday and Wednesday is intended to rally young supporters. Romney’s language on loans, for example, was distinctly different from the answer he gave when he was last asked about the issue. Prior to the Illinois primary on March 20, he told a young woman concerned about student debt to “get ready for President Obama’s claim.” “I know he’s going to come up at some point and talk about how he’s going to make it vanish. And that’s another, ‘Here, I’ll give you something for free.’ And I’m not going to do that,” Romney said. During that same answer, he said he wanted to keep interest rates low. Romney also tacked to the right on immigration during the primary. In recent days, he’s been highlighting Hispanic concerns at events while leaving out much of the rhetoric he embraced earlier this year. He said Monday that he would outline additional changes to the immigration system in the coming months, particularly with the visa system that governs who is allowed to work in the U.S. “I anticipate before the November election we’ll be laying out whole series of policies that relate to immigration, and obviously our first priority is to secure the border, and yet we also have very substantial visa programs in this country,” Romney said. “How we adjust our visa program to make it fit the needs of our country is something I’ll be speaking about down the road.”

OSPREY from page one nest on the utility pole instead of inhabiting the man-made alternative. As power company representatives had feared, the existence of that nest, a large pile of sticks and twigs, laid on the cross-bars of a pole, finally caused a problem for the power grid. Saturated by heavy rains on Sunday evening and Monday night, the nest is blamed for causing a power outage early Monday morning and again Monday afternoon for about 1,100 power companies, according to PSNH media relations specialist Michael Skelton. “It’s our belief that we had an outage last night and again today as a result of osprey activity.” The outage cut power to about 10-percent of Laconia’s electric customers. It also illustrated how hazardous the site is for the birds, whose existence represents a success story for conservationists. Nearly exterminated from the state, the bird has made a consistent recovery since the agricultural pesticide DDT was banned from use. To help convince the birds that the new nest is the best place for them to lay eggs, and to prevent future outages, Skelton said PSNH crews were at work yesterday to “re-engineer” the poles so they won’t be so attractive as nest sites. “Re-engineer the poles so it’s not seen as a big welcome mat,” he said. Iain MacLeod, executive director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, built the nest that was installed on Friday. He had previously created many alternative nests which had been adopted by osprey, some within hours of their creation. He had hoped that, in this instance, the pair would adopt the nest in time for the female to lay her three eggs of APPENDIX from page 2 example, some had more costly procedures, including multiple imaging scans, or longer hospital stays. A very small number were treated without surgery, though most had appendectomies. Some were sicker and needed more intensive care. But the researchers could find no explanation for about one-third of the cost differences. Other developed countries have more government regulation that prevents these wild disparities. U.S. critics of that kind of system favor more market

Late Ross homer lifts Red Sox past Twins, 6-5 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cody Ross homered twice, tying the game with a two-run shot in the seventh inning and giving Boston the lead with two outs in the ninth to snap a five-game losing streak for the Red Sox and beat the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Monday night. Starter-turned-temporary-reliever Daniel Bard (1-2) recorded two critical outs in the eighth after the Twins put the leadoff runner on third. Alfredo Aceves picked up the save, his third in five tries, and all was right with the reeling Red Sox for at least one night. Aceves gave up a one-out single and a high drive to the warning track in left-center to Trevor Plouffe, but Denard Span bounced back to the mound to end it. Ryan Sweeney misplayed Jamey Carroll’s single into a two-base error that put him at third with none out in that pivotal eighth, after the ball bounded down the right-field line, ricocheted off the padded facade of the seats in foul territory and skidded away. But Franklin Morales got Joe Mauer to ground out weakly to first base, and Bard retired two of the
three batters he faced sandwiched around an intentional walk to Justin Morneau. Josh Willingham greeted Bard with a sharp line drive, but it zipped straight at third baseman Adrian Gonzalez for the second out. Then Ross put the Red Sox in front with his drive off Matt Capps (0-1). After a rainout on Sunday gave the rotation an extra day of rest, Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine put Bard in his struggling bullpen for a few days amid fan calls for the young right-hander to take over for Aceves as the closer. But Bard and Valentine insisted the move was merely temporary, and Bard is still on track to make his next start on Friday. “I still view myself as a starter, and they said they do, too,” Bard said before the game. He said he “asked a lot of questions” about what the team’s goals were with the decision. Bard gave the relievers some relief, but the starters still need some, too. Jon Lester allowed six hits, five runs and four walks over seven innings. He struck out four but wasted a 3-0 lead.
from preceding page have little effect on the kinds of disparities seen in the study, policy experts say. One section of the law bars tax-exempt hospitals from charging uninsured people more than the rates insured patients end up paying because of discounts negotiated by insurance companies. The government has not said how the reductions for uninsured people would be calculated, said health care consultant Keith Hearle. The researchers examined 2009 data that hospitals were required to submit to the state on 19,368 patients with appendicitis. To get the fairest comparisons, the researchers included only uncomplicated cases with hospital stays of less than four days. Patients were 18 to 59 years old. The study looked at what patients were billed, before contributions from their health insurance — if they had any. The figures don’t reflect what hospitals were actually paid. Insurance companies often negotiate to pay less than what they are billed, and what patients pay depends on their health plans. Those least able to pay — the uninsured — could be socked with the full bill. Still, even those with good health insurance may end up paying a portion of the cost, so price matters, Hsia said. Uninsured and Medicaid patients had slightly
higher bills than those with private insurance. Charges were highest at for-profit hospitals, followed by nonprofits. County hospitals, typically safety-net hospitals, had the lowest charges. The costliest bill, totaling $182,955, involved a woman who also had cancer. She was treated at a hospital in California’s Silicon Valley. Her bill didn’t show any cancer-related treatment. The smallest bill, $1,529, involved a patient who had her appendix removed in rural Northern California. Otherwise, the cases were similar: Both patients were hospitalized for one day, had minimally invasive surgery, and had similar numbers of procedures and tests on their bills. The lowest and highest bills were not freak occurrences; many cases involved charges well over $100,000 and under $2,000, Hsia said. Also, within geographic regions, the lowest and highest charges differed by tens of thousands of dollars. Itemized bills for appendix removal can include fees for staying overnight in the hospital, the surgery and surgical supplies, operating room expenses, anesthesia, imaging tests, medicine and lab tests. The analysis echoes other reports, including a study of 66 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada that found charges for the same services varied widely in both countries.

History lives for 4th graders at Belknap Mill NH Jazz presents pianist
Fourth grade school program volunteer/retired engineer Jon Pounds with the model he built to show how the Mill distributed power before converting to electric generators. The model will be used for the fourth grade school program and become part of the permanent Wheel House exhibit. (Courtesy photo)
LACONIA — For the staff, volunteers, board of trustee members and Belknap Mill members it’s the best time of the year. As spring approaches, it’s time to pull out the period clothing, memorize their parts as role players and head to the Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia for the Fourth Grade school program, titled My First Day of Work at the Mill. The ambitious program runs from May 2 – June 8. The program provides a chance for fourth graders from around the state and beyond to step into the Belknap Mill and back in time to the days when men, women and sometimes teens worked at the textile mill. The program started a number of years ago, the brainchild of then executive director Mary Rose Boswell. She was exploring avenues to offer an education program for children at the Belknap Mill. The event is a huge undertaking and requires months and months of preparation each year, under the direction of volunteer Helga Stamp, who works with Nancy Paquette of the Belknap Mill to coordinate the month-long program. Schools from all over the state and beyond are invited to bus their fourth graders to the Belknap Mill for the history program; each school’s students spend the day in the Mill, immersed in the roles of former Mill workers, learning what life was like so long ago right here in New Hampshire. The program could not exist without the many volunteers who give so generously of their time to bring history alive for the children says Stamp. “We need more volunteers for this year’s program. It’s a lot of fun and for those who cannot make a longterm volunteer commitment and it only requires helping in the month of May and into early June. Volunteers are needed as role players or tour guides for the school program. “Some of our vol-
unteers can help us for a limited time, and others spend the entire month volunteering for the program. Training will be provided, so all volunteers will feel comfortable with their assigned task,” adds Stamp. One volunteer who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to help children learn about how the Belknap Mill was run is retired engineer Jon Pounds. He spent many weeks working on a model to show how the Mill distributed power before converting to electric generators. Pounds wanted to create a model that would appeal to children, while teaching them about mill power, and he has successfully done so. The model will be encased in clear plexiglass and become a permanent part of the Wheel House exhibit so the public may enjoy it year round. Stamp became involved with the Fourth Grade Program in 1999. ‘’I started volunteering when the program was new,’’ she explains. “Before I moved to NH, I was a docent in New York. I was looking for something to do where I could volunteer, and I certainly found it at the Belknap Mill.’’ On a typical day, once children arrive at the Mill for the day-long program (it runs about 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), they are divided into color groups and get to put on the period costumes of mill workers. They are given a nametag and a time card. “Suddenly, a student could be assigned the role of a 14 or 16 year old mill worker,” says Stamp. “They could be given the job of turner boy; young people could work part time in the mill at age 14 and at age 16, they could work full time.’’ She said that once the students punch in, they are greeted by a role player/volunteer dressed as mill boss Mr. Morin. After this, they are sent to various stations around the building with their tour guide. Then they regroup for the ‘assembly line’ (it’s a simulated line) to learn the importance of team work. After a lunch break, Stamp speaks to the group in an impact segment, which teaches children the importance of economics; when the mill does well, the community finances are better. The program covers math and social studies, both vital components of a fourth grade school curriculum. “It’s a captivating program,” says Stamp. “Volunteers are needed and those who are interested should know it runs about four hours a day, which is a short commitment.’’ A training day will take place on May 1 at the Belknap Mill. It offers a refresher for returning volunteers and training for those who are first-time volunteers for the program. Those who would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer can contact the Belknap Mill at 524-8813. The Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill building in the country and is designated as the Meetinghouse of NH. For information on Belknap Mill events, visit www.belknapmill.org. The Belknap Mill is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Free scoop day is Saturday, April 28 at The Mill Fudge Factory and Ice Cream Cafe in Bristol BRISTOL — Enjoy a free scoop of ice cream made from scratch by The Mill Fudge Factory and Ice Cream Cafe in Bristol Square on April 28 from noon till 9 p.m. “Giving away our ice cream is our way of thanking the community for their support,” said Noah Munro, co-owner and manager of The Mill Fudge Factory. As part of the venue’s seasonal re-opening, there will be a performance by the Landaya Ensemble, presented by the Black Bear Moon Cultural Project, a very popular West African drumming group which has trained extensively in West Africa and now features Sayon Camara from Guinea. The concert will be the first of the season for the venue’s weekly Saturday night concert series held in “The Back Room” at The Mill. Event tickets are available online at: TheMillFudgeFactory.com and by phone at (603)744-0405. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. May
hours for the cafe will be Thursday to Saturday noon–9 p.m. and Sundays noon-7 p.m. The family business is re-opening this year with a new view since the old Mica building has been taken down earlier this month. In 2009, the decrepit mica building had caused the business to be evacuated for eight months. Now the business is enjoying its new view of the Pemi valley. “With the promise of a river side park, we are very excited about Bristol Square’s potential and hope folks will come see the new view from our porch.’’ said Munro. The Mill Fudge Factory has built a reputation in NH selling their artisan fudge at events and stores around New England, and as a listening room for live music and poetry. The business has also been featured on WMUR’s NH Chronicle and has won several awards for its’ ice cream and fudge.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis good to know. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You often take on so much that you feel overwhelmed by your life. Arrange things so that you can win. However small a victory may be, it proves something: You’re a winner. If you can win small, you can win big. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like finding new talented people, and in the weeks to come, you will become a fan of someone who fits the description. Your interest will open doors for you eventually, but right now, it’s just fun to see where this leads. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be dealing with two categories: things that cost you money, and things that make you money. You’ll rid yourself of material things that aren’t worth the price you pay to keep them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve already proved that you could turn your vaguest longings into a concrete plan. You’re at that place again, experiencing a fuzzy, unfocused kind of wanting. Can you articulate this desire yet? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A good coach won’t let the team stay at a subpar level. You’ll be the kind of coach who isolates your team’s problems, however unpleasant, and figures out how to solve them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 24). You’re idealistic when it comes to relationships, and yet people rise to your high standards, and you’ll be thrilled with what happens next. Professionally, you’ll branch out to include the untried. May and September show an income spike. You’ll adventure in June. October brings a new interest and group of friends. Love signs are Leo and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 29, 50, 24 and 17.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). An adventure is coming together. These are the earliest planning stages, and you’ll do all you can to clarify your options. If possible, see things in person. Conduct face-to-face interviews instead of calling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Knowledge can be like a light that turns on in your mind, or it can be a structure that complicates matters by casting confusing shadows. In the latter case, keep studying until you have your breakthrough. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even if the old methods are working, you can’t help but wonder whether another way would work even better. You’re bold, and you’ll probably be the first among your friends and colleagues to try something new. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Suddenly, something doesn’t feel quite right about your actions and activities. You have to ask yourself: Are you fulfilling someone else’s dreams for yourself instead of being dedicated to your own? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love a good story, and you’ll hear one today. Soak in every detail. There’s more to learn than you’ll be able to understand on the first listen. The tale will continue to develop for the next few days. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). According to you, any amount of time you spend looking for things is a waste. You expect yourself to be organized enough to know where your personal items are at all times, and that’s pretty much how it goes today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone will make a sacrifice on your behalf. Even though you don’t want to put anyone out, this gesture helps you understand your importance to others, and that feels

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, April 24, the 115th day of 2012. There are 251 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 24, 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA’s Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image of the letters “M.I.T.” transmitted from Camp Parks, Calif., to Westford, Mass. On this date: In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise”, was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress. In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. (The United States responded in kind the next day.) In 1915, what’s regarded as the start of the Armenian genocide began as the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople. In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. In 1932, in the Free State of Prussia, the Nazi Party gained a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections. In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1960, rioting erupted in Biloxi, Miss., after black protesters staging a “wade-in” at a whitesonly beach were attacked by a crowd of hostile whites. In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The East is Red.” In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen. One year ago: Pope Benedict XVI offered an Easter Sunday prayer for diplomacy to prevail over warfare in Libya and for citizens of the Middle East to build a new society. Today’s Birthdays: Film and drama critic Stanley Kauffmann is 96. Movie director-producer Richard Donner is 82. Actress Shirley MacLaine is 78. Author Sue Grafton is 72.

Drowsy Chaperone brings high spirited Eddy Quinn featured at Pemi high jinks to PSU Student Theatre Choral Society fundraiser on May 4 PLYMOUTH — Mayhem, mix-ups and a ruse to sabotage a wedding mark the high-spirited high jinks of The Drowsy Chaperone, presented by the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Plymouth State University April 25-29. The musical comedy won five Tony Awards in 2006, including Best Music and Best Book. Performances are April 25-28 at 8 p.m., April 28 at 2 p.m. and April 29 at 4 p.m. in the Studio Theatre at the Silver Center. The fun begins when a die-hard musical theatre fan (known only as The Man in The Chair) plays his favorite cast album, a 1928 smash hit called The Drowsy Chaperone, and the show magically bursts to life. Suddenly, the man finds himself immersed in the glamorous, hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take both the cast (literally) and the audience (metaphorically) soaring to the rafters. Professor of Theatre Beth Cox directs the show, with music direction by Professor of Music Kathleen Arecchi. Justin McCarthy, adjunct faculty is the conductor; Kevin Hill of Auburndale, Mass. is the guest choreographer; Jill Hibbard of Plymouth is guest scenic director; Daniel Brunk from Farmington, Maine is the guest lighting designer and PSU’s resident costume designer is Danee Grillo.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 Duplicate bridge at the Weirs Beach Community Center. 7:15 p.m. All levels welcome. Snacks. Free knitting and crochet lessons. Drop in on Wednesdays any time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Baby Threads work-
The show is a “fast comic romp with lots of dancing, funny lyrics and fluff…a fun spoof of the 1920s,” according to Cox. She explains that in its early form this musical was a performance gift by friends given to Robert Martin and Janet Van De Graaf, an actual bride and groom, at a prenuptial party. The performance was expanded and now those are the names of a young couple in The Drowsy Chaperone who hope to marry. Janet works for Mr. Feldzieg (similar to Ziegfield) as the star of Feldzieg’s Follies and has decided to quit in order to marry Robert Martin, a matinee and commercial idol. Mr. Feldzieg owes his investor a large sum of money and the “gentleman” investor sends two gangsters disguised as pastry chefs to intimidate him. The gangsters decide to help Feldzieg derail the wedding. Janet’s chaperone always seems to have a cocktail in hand, even though it is Prohibition. Her ‘’drowsiness” elicits much advice and little chaperoning. We also meet Adolpho, a Latin lothario; George, Robert’s best man; Kitty, a chorus girl in Feldzieg’s Follies; Mrs. Tottendale, owner of the mansion where the wedding is being held; Underling, Mrs. Tottendale’s long-suffering butler and Trix, an aviatrix flying to Rio. Tickets are $19 for adults, $17 for seniors and $15 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

Designated trout and fly-fishing-only ponds open on Saturday, April 28 CONCORD — Fishing in New Hampshire’s designated trout ponds and fly-fishing-only ponds opens this year on April 28, the fourth Saturday in April, offering anglers the chance to experience exciting fishing in some of the Granite State’s most scenic surroundings. These ponds are managed specifically for trout, and fishing is allowed through October 15. “These trout ponds are often the best waters in a given area for a variety of reasons,” said New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Fisheries Biologist Don Miller. “Excellent habitat, low species competition and the fact that these ponds are closed to ice-fishing allow these waters to be managed for the trout fishing enthusiast.” Ponds managed for trout may be stocked with one or more species, including brook, rainbow and/or brown trout, with age classes ranging from “yearlings” (8-12 inches), 2-year olds (12-15 inches), and 3+ year olds (measured in pounds). “Trout are prized by anglers because they can be a challenge to catch, and fishing for them is one of the traditional rites of spring,” Miller said. “Whether your passion is a multi-colored brook trout, a leaping rainbow or the determined fight of a brown, there’s a New Hampshire trout pond within reasonable driving distance for you.” Hot Hole Pond and Clough Pond in Loudon, French Pond in Henniker, Mount William Pond in Weare, Dublin Lake in Dublin, Lucas Pond (tiger trout) in Northwood, and Barbadoes Pond in Madbury are a few of the generously stocked early season hotspots where opening day trout are taken. It gets no better than this for taking the youngsters along with a
simple garden hackle under a bobber, or floating PowerBait fished just off the bottom. Due to the mild winter, this year may find some of our northern ponds ice-free. There are many popular ponds located from the Lakes Region north to Pittsburg. They include Echo Lake in Franconia, Russell Pond in Woodstock, Conner Pond and Duncan Lake in Ossipee, White Lake in Tamworth, Perch Pond in Campton, Saltmarsh Pond in Gilford, Spectacle Pond in Groton, Back Lake in Pittsburg, Fish Pond in Columbia and Little Diamond Pond in Stewartstown. For those looking for a true wilderness experience, check out one of the approximately 50 remote trout ponds Fish and Game annually stocks with fingerling brook trout via helicopter (listed at http://www. fishnh.com/Fishing/trout_remote.htm). Flat Mountain Pond in Sandwich, Cole Pond in Enfield (fly fishing only), Butterfield Pond in Wilmot, Peaked Hill Pond in Thornton, Black Pond and Lonesome Lake in Lincoln are just a sampling of these delightful ponds, where fingerling brook trout often grow to 8-10 inches by their second growing season, and it’s not unusual to pull in brookies 15 inches or longer. Trophy, remote-pond brook trout three or more years old, some in excess of 17-18 inches, are available to the anglers who wish to fish in the “backcountry.” Archery Pond in Allenstown (with a wheelchairaccessible casting platform) and Stonehouse Pond in Barrington are two popular fly-fishing-only ponds that will be ice-free and well stocked for the opener. If you travel over to Antrim and fish Willard Pond (produced the state record tiger trout caught in
2011), you will be treated to forested, undeveloped shorelines and the ‘’triple treat’ of fly-fishing: brook, rainbow and tiger trout. Further north, some excellent fly-fishing-only ponds include Upper Hall Pond in Sandwich, Sky Pond in New Hampton and Profile Lake in Franconia (check the fish digest for special regulations) on these waters. In addition, White Pond in Ossipee and Coon Brook Bog in Pittsburg offer excellent opportunities to “match the hatch” throughout spring and early summer. For a list of trout ponds and fly-fishing-only ponds in New Hampshire, as well as a description of special rules that apply to certain ponds, consult the 2012 New Hampshire Freshwater Fishing Digest, available online at http://www.fishnh.com/pubs/fishing.html or from any Fish and Game license agent.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 24, 2012— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I own a small business. We both work at other full-time jobs, and we also have three children, so life is hectic and busy. I am uncomfortable with the intensity of a relationship he is having with one of our employees. “Molly” is a single woman with children. She is a terrific employee, and a large part of our business depends on her. My husband is a good man and has taken her under his wing to help her through a difficult time. I have expressed concern about their relationship, and he compares it to any good friendship. We are trying to use this situation as a wake-up call to get refocused on our relationship. Yet, I often feel he is placating me. As long as Molly is in the picture, I continue to struggle with my reaction to their “friendship.” I am in counseling, but my husband is a bit dismissive about the process. Would it be reasonable to talk to Molly and explain my concerns? Perhaps if she knew what was going on, she would set some limits on the situation. To those employees who see themselves in this situation: Please consider how your relationship can affect someone else’s marriage and family. -- Sad Dear Sad: We’re not entirely sure what you are objecting to, other than the fact that Molly is single and works closely with your husband. This doesn’t necessarily mean anything is going on. Does he share with her things that are private issues within your marriage? Does he discuss things with her that he ought to be discussing with you? Does he spend a lot of time with her that isn’t business related? Is he secretive or distant? Does he put her welfare before yours? Is your intimate life suffering? Please discuss these things with your counselor. Dear Annie: At what point am I supposed to call my
uncles by their first names only? I am a 59-year-old male and recently spoke with my “Uncle Bill” on the phone. I referred to him as “Uncle Bill,” and he screamed, “I’m just Bill!” So now I wonder about all my other relatives. I will soon be hosting a family reunion and don’t want to create a problem. Am I too old to keep on referring to my uncles as uncles? I talked to my older brother about this, and he hasn’t a clue what to do. I love my relatives and don’t want to hurt their feelings. So what is the correct form of address? -- Eagerly Awaiting in California Dear California: This is entirely a matter of personal choice. Your Uncle Bill obviously wants to be “just Bill,” but your “Aunt Mary” might love that you still use the full title. Many people stop using “Aunt” or “Uncle” when they reach adulthood. Since this has not been the case in your family, please ask each relative for his or her preference. (We suspect most of them won’t care either way.) Dear Annie: “At the End of Our Rope” described a common problem: having a young adult child who does drugs, still lives at home and doesn’t work. A friend dealt with this well. When their son was 19, they refused to let him live at home unless he found a job or went back to school and took a drug test once a week. He refused and was ousted, although he was allowed to come home to eat, shower and do laundry. After a year of sleeping on friends’ couches and in his car, he was arrested for DUI. It took several more months before he finally agreed to the drug testing and found a job. This young man now rides his bike to work, tests clean and is building his life again. -- It Can Work

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, April 24, 2012— Page 27
Spring Fever Cabaret in Tilton on April 28 features vocalist Elizabeth Soychak
TILTON — Vocalist Elizabeth Soychak returns to Trinity Church in Tilton on the evening of April 28 for an intimate evening of song to benefit the Main Street church’s Open Door Dinner program. Inspired by a Margaret Whiting collection of Jerome Kern classics, Miss Soychak will share her love for one of America’s best-loved composers of theater and songbook standards. This year’s event promises to be the Elizabeth Soychak (Courtesy latest in a successful photo) series of performances by the Tilton native that have supported the Trinity Tilton Church’s weekly free warm meal offering, now in its fourth year. This outreach program is now going stronger than ever, averaging between thirty-
five and forty guests at each serving. Elizabeth Soychak first hit the musical stage as a fifth grader in a now legendary Winnisquam Middle School performance of “The King & I”, and continued singing through high school and college. She migrated to Manhattan via Boston, and was fortunate to craft her vocal style with renowned vocal instructor, Nancy Morano, herself a protégé of famed vocalist Margaret Whiting. She honed her skills and drew the attention of many in lower Manhattan by staging the Renegade Cabaret, quite possibly the smallest high profile performance space in New York. Singing show tunes and standards from a fire escape adjacent to a popular and busy downtown walkway, Elizabeth’s early evening a cappella efforts drew crowds and the attention of the New York Times and the local cable news channels. Longtime locals in the Lakes Region will remember her family’s one time spirited entertainment venue, the Cabaret, a barn converted to accommodate a dance hall that overlooked Lake Winnisquam along Route 3. Elizabeth grew up hearing a variety of music and musicians that appeared regularly. The evening’s homage to Jerome Kern will include at least one selection (“Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man”) from the composer’s best-known theatrical score
