Dogs may search lockers & backpacks if new school policy adopted By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The School Board gave a first review last night to a school policy that would, among other things, allow trained police dogs to conduct random searches of school lockers and student backpacks.
The policy, which needs to have a second reading before it is adopted, specifies dogs may not be used for random searches of individual students. School Board member Scott Vachon (Ward 3) emphasized the final policy should specifically state that dogs may not be used
to search students or others at random. The policy also provides that, with reasonable suspicion, two staff members of the same sex as the student or employee being searched will conduct any individual searches. “There needs to be some reason,” said see LaCOnIa page 10

CONCORD — Defenders of speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee scored a victory yesterday when the House Transportation Committee, in a show of bipartisanship, voted 11 to 6 to not recommend a bill that would raise the limit on The Broads to 55 miles per hour. The bill will go before the full House next week. “It isn’t over,” said Sandy Helve of the Winnipesaukee Family Alliance for Boating Safety (WinnFABs), “but, this was a very good result.” She said that the discussion in committee indicated that members were impressed by the strong and widespread support for speed limits among individuals and businesses in the Lakes Region. Scott Verdonck, president of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire (SBONH), said that “we knew it was coming.” In a prepared statement he said his group was “outraged” by the vote, charging that the committee “fell victim to fabricated stories . . . that the additional 10 miles an hour (from 45 MPH) would result in accidents and mayhem” despite statements by the New Hampshire Marine Patrol to the contrary. see sPeed page 10

Conservatives win solid majority in Canada’s Parliment
TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Tuesday he won’t surprise Canadians with a hidden-right wing agenda after his Conservatives won a coveted majority in what will be a dramatically reshaped Parliament. Harper, who took office in 2006, failed to win the majority of Parliament’s 308 seats in two previous elections but Monday’s vote gave him 167 seats, allowing him to pass any legislation he wants. Harper deliberately avoided sweeping policy changes in a minority government, but now has an opportunity to remake traditionally liberal Canada in his own conservative image. Majority Parliaments are all powerful in Canada. “We got that mandate because the way we have governed and Canadians expect us to continue to move forward in the same way,” said Harper, who has incrementally moved Canada to the right. In past elections, Harper did not explicitly ask for a majority, see CANADA page 8

Levee blast in Missouri eases flood threat to Illinois town WYATT, Mo. (AP) — The dramatic, latenight demolition of a huge earthen levee sent chocolate-colored floodwaters pouring onto thousands of acres of Missouri farmland Tuesday, easing the threat to a tiny Illinois town being menaced by the Mississippi River. But the blast near Cairo, Ill., did nothing to ease the risk of more trouble downstream, where the mighty river is expected to rise to its highest levels since the 1920s in some parts of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. “We’re making a lot of unfortunate history here in Mississippi in April and May,” said Jeff Rent, a spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
“We had the historic tornados, and now this could be a historic event.” The Army Corps of Engineers was considering making similar use of other “floodways” — enormous basins surrounded by giant levees that can be opened to divert floodwaters. A staccato series of explosions lit up the night sky Monday over the Mississippi with orange flashes and opened a massive hole in the Birds Point levee. A wall of water up to 15 feet high swiftly filled corn, soybean and wheat fields in southeast Missouri. Upstream at Cairo, which sits precariously at the confluence of the swollen Mississippi and Ohio rivers, preliminary readings suggested the explosion worked.
But across the river, clearing skies gave a heartbreaking view of the inundation triggered by the demolition. The torrent swamped an estimated 200 square miles, washing away crop prospects for this year and damaging or destroying as many as 100 homes. A group of 25 farmers sued the federal government Tuesday, arguing that their land had been taken without adequate compensation. At a spot along the Birds Point levee, 56-year-old Ray Presson looked through binoculars to see just how high the water stood at his 101-year-old home and the 2,400 acres he farms around it. Presson is see LEVEE page 10
WASHINGTON (AP) — Osama bin Laden was unarmed when Navy SEALs burst into his room and shot him to death, the White House said Tuesday, a change in the official account that raised questions about whether the U.S. ever planned to capture the terrorist leader alive. The Obama administration was still debating whether to release gruesome images of bin Laden’s corpse, balancing efforts to demonstrate to the world that he was dead against the risk that the images could provoke further anti-U.S. sentiment. But CIA Director Leon Panetta said a photograph would be released. “I don’t think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public,” Panetta said in an interview with “NBC Nightly News.” Asked again later by The Associated Press, he said, “I think it will.” Asked about the final confrontation with
bin Laden, Panetta said: “I don’t think he had a lot of time to say anything.” The CIA chief told PBS NewsHour, “It was a firefight going up that compound. ... I think it - this was all split-second action on the part of the SEALs.” Panetta said that bin Laden made “some threatening moves that were made that clearly represented a clear threat to our guys. And that’s the reason they fired.” The SEALs were back in the U.S. at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington for debriefing on the raid, lawmakers said after meeting with Panetta. The question of how to present bin Laden’s death to the world is a difficult balancing act for the White House. President Barack Obama told Americans that justice had been done, but the White House also declared that bin Laden’s body was treated respectfully and sent to rest in a somber ceremony at sea.
Panetta underscored on Tuesday that Obama had given permission to kill the terror leader: “The authority here was to kill bin Laden,” he said. “And obviously, under the rules of engagement, if he had in fact thrown up his hands, surrendered and didn’t appear to be representing any kind of threat, then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him.” For the long-term legacy of the most successful counterterrorism operation in U.S. history, the fact that bin Laden was unarmed is unlikely to matter much to the Americans he declared war against. President George W. Bush famously said he wanted bin Laden “dead or alive,” and the CIA’s top counterterrorism official once promised to bring bin Laden’s head back on a stake. Yet just 24 hours before the White House acknowledged that bin Laden had been unarmed, Obama’s chief counterterrorism see BIN LADEN page 17

Late 14-0 run pushes Heat by Celtics MIAMI (AP) — With the outcome decided in the final seconds, LeBron James walked toward Mario Chalmers to begin his version of a celebration. He playfully punched his teammate twice in the chest. Fitting, because James and the Miami Heat have now landed two blows against the Boston Celtics. James scored 24 of his 35 points in the second half, Dwyane Wade added 28 and the Heat used a late 14-0 run to pull away and beat the aching Celtics 102-91 in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night. “Feel good about it,” James said. “Series is far — far, far, far — away from over. It’s really just beginning for us.” James shot 14 of 25 from the field, and logged 44 minutes with no turnovers. Chris Bosh finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds for Miami, which leads the best-of-seven 2-0. Game 3 in Boston isn’t until Saturday night, and the Celtics may be particularly thankful for the break. Rajon Rondo played through a balky back to score 20 points and add 12
assists for Boston, which got 16 points from Kevin Garnett and 13 from Paul Pierce — who retreated to the locker room for treatment on his strained left Achilles’ in the first half. Ray Allen was held to seven points, and left with what he said was a bruised chest cavity courtesy of an elbow from James in the third quarter. “Being down 2-0 doesn’t scare any of us, doesn’t make us nervous,” Allen said. “It’s just an opportunity to come out shining.” Boston tied the game at 80 on a pair of free throws by Pierce with 7:10 left. The Celtics missed their next six shots and Miami pulled away, taking command of both the game and the series. “That’s our staple. We know the only way for us to win games, especially in the playoffs, is to play defense,” James said. “Everyone has each other’s back. If one guy gets beat, another steps up. They made a run, a heck of a run ... but we just kept grinding, kept playing our principles, and we finally wore them down.” Jeff Green scored 11 and Delonte West added 10 for the Celtics.
BOSTON (AP) — Jon Lester got his mistake out of the way early. He didn’t make any others. Lester struck out 11 over seven innings, keeping Boston close until the Red Sox started hitting late in a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. Lester (4-1) outpitched Dan Haren, who entered with a 1.23 ERA and allowed just two hits over the first five innings. “It’s fun to have those battles every once in a while and see who’s going to make the first mistake. I did early,” Lester said. “We just tried to hang around the best we could and keep them within striking distance.” Lester’s only gaffe was an 0-2 pitch to Mark Trumbo, who drove it over the Green Monster and put the Angels up 1-0 in the second. Lester stayed calm and didn’t allow any of the other Angels beyond second base before Boston went to the bullpen in the eighth inning. “He pitched so well after that he gave us a chance,” manager Terry Francona said. “We didn’t do anything early.” Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz hit consecutive homers in the eighth, and Marco Scutaro added a two-run homer later in the inning for the Red Sox, who have won three straight and are within a game of .500.
Los Angeles has contributed to Boston’s recovery from an 0-6 start. The Red Sox have won all six games against the Angels this season, accounting for almost half of Los Angeles’ 14 losses. Boston has also won 15 of 16 meetings dating to last season. “It’s not losing 15 out of 16 to, no disrespect, like the Mariners or the Pirates. It’s the Boston Red Sox. They’re a good ballclub,” Haren said. “In order to do 15 out of 16 you’ve got to have a little luck on your side. A lot of things have to happen, because it’s not that easy.” The Red Sox finally got to Haren (4-2) with four hits in the sixth and two more in the seventh as they rallied for a 3-1 lead. “Danny pitched a great game,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “We need to get into our game, especially on the offensive side.” Gonzalez and Ortiz hit Boston’s first consecutive homers this season to start the eighth inning. Three batters later, Marco Scutaro hit a two-run drive over the Green Monster. Boston brought on closer Jonathan Papelbon with a 7-1 lead in the ninth. Papelbon gave up three straight hits, including Erick Aybar’s RBI double, then allowed Trumbo’s sacrifice fly before getting the final two outs.
Red Sox beat up on Angels again, 7-3

Osama’s gone, not terrorism WASHINGTON, D.C. — Of course, we’re celebrating. And of course, they’re threatening retaliation. Osama bin Laden is dead, and with him died as much twisted malice as can be found in a man who would send jetliners into office buildings. But is there closure? Well, some satisfaction for those who lost loved ones through his depraved orders. There’s definitely pride, yes, in the Navy Seals who stormed the mansion that concealed the creep. And also in American intelligence, which labored day after day to find him — and well before his signature abomination of 10 years ago, the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. By happenstance, I was walking past the White House at about 7 p.m. on what was still an ordinary Sunday evening. Only a dozen tourists stood outside the president’s house. A raggedy man shouted paranoid ravings into a bullhorn. Another stood nearby, mumbling quietly. A few short hours later, the same environs exploded with joy as revelers, many students at nearby George Washington University, ran to the White House security limits with flags and song. There was no greater reminder of what the outrage of Sept. 11, 2001, had wrought than those walls, fences and other separations that surround every important building in Washington, D.C. This one especially. The White House may have been a 9/11 target saved only by passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, who overcame their hijackers, causing the craft to crash in a field near Pittsburgh. The Department of Homeland Security was created in response to the Sept. 11 outrages. Tom Ridge, the agency’s first secretary, offered some sobering truths on bin Laden’s demise. He first noted the obvious, that “the ideology did not die with Osama bin Laden,” Al-Qaida and its ilk have new leaders, new training locations, new homegrown terrorists in the United States, Ridge added. The threat is “frankly not terribly diminished by the fact that he’s been brought to justice.”
After Sunday’s big news, families of Flight 93 victims announced that Osama “can no longer spread his evil.” True, but there’s plenty of evil left in other people, and we hold our breath waiting to see how bin Laden’s minions will try to remind us that they go on. Nothing frustrates terrorists more than evidence of their impotence and vulnerability. They’ve been bypassed in the Arab Spring uprisings of young people demanding modern democracy (though they may try to worm their way into the change). That Arab youth seem to be ignoring al-Qaida’s medieval ideology is a stick in their eye — or, to use another metaphor, a pin in their balloon of self-importance. The demise of their supposedly untouchable leader undercuts the myth of invincibility. Wounded dogs can be dangerous. American embassies and airports around the world are on high alert. U.S. citizens abroad are warned not to draw attention to themselves — certainly not to gloat publicly about bin Laden’s comeuppance. Osama bin Laden had a master’s mind, but his was not the only bizarrely wired brain in the extremist underworld. Remember that America entered the age of terrorism not on Sept. 11, 2001, but on April 19, 1995, the day a native son blew up a federal office building in Oklahoma City. The means to cause widespread mayhem remain, and so does the communications revolution that empowers the criminally insane to recruit the like-minded. No potion dropped in the water supply can cure vicious megalomaniacs of their destructive desires. So these simple hopes we hear equating bin Laden’s expiration with the end of World War II are off base. Happy days are not here again. But one happy day? For sure.

She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
LETTER Donations from Curves Laconia will help us meet growing need To the editor, An open letter to Ms. Brenda Strong, owner/manager of Curves Laconia: We sincerely want to express our thanks to you and all who participated in collecting the food that was donated to the Common Food Pantry located at the Community Action office here in Laconia. Your time, effort and generous donations made this event a wonderful success. It is through efforts like yours that enable us to provide food to needy families and individuals in Belknap
County and surrounding communities who rely on food pantries to supplement their needs. Last year the Common Pantry provided thousands of meals to residents in Laconia, Belmont, Barnstead, Gilford, Gilmanton and Alton and, unfortunately, the need continues to rise. Meeting the needs of these communities could not be done without your help. Bob Adams, Laconia Area Center Director Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties, Inc.
LETTERS Once upon a time there was enough funding for Service Link To the editor, A story with the ending yet to be written… Once upon a time there was an elderly man. He lived with his elderly wife in a little old house in a little old town. He took care of his wife who has dementia and assorted health problems and did it with not much help from anybody but a couple of neighbors and a daughter. Being a tough old New Englander, he thought that he would go on like this forever… Much to his surprise, one day he slipped on the ice and broke a hip. How quickly things changed for him! He went from independence to complete dependence. What would happen to the wife? He hadn’t planned for this sort of event… Support came in the form of Service Link. Within hours of asking for help, a plan was put into place to provide the wife with intermittent in home care complete with an emergency
financial grant to help pay for the care. Guidance was provided by the professional and competent staff. Efforts were made to help him plan for the future should she need to be placed in a long term care facility. Now for the ending… will Service Link and the staff of caring professionals be there when you or your family needs them? Funding is in the process of being cut for Service Link in the very near future. Please send letters of support for this fine service to: Senator Jeanie Forrester, 107 North Main St, Room 105A, Concord, NH 03301 or email to: jeanieforrester@leg. state.nh.us . Remember, life doesn’t always work out for us in the way that we planned (or haven’t planned, in the case of my father). Wouldn’t it be nice to know that there is help for our elderly when they need it? June Garen Gilmanton
The end of bin Laden is a chance to reflect on American identity To the editor, The one-letter difference between Obama and Osama has always made it easier for this president’s detractors to portray him as “other.” Un-American. Insufficiently patriotic. Muslim. African. Alien. Whatever. President Barack Obama’s name, almost as much as his race, makes him the unlikeliest of American presidents, a cultural phenomenon that inspires many but terrifies many others, to the point where they have constructed an entire political narrative around the idea of his unworthiness as a person, rather than a policymaker, to lead us. So it was a little more than ironic that Obama, just days after having produced a long-form birth certificate to prove he hadn’t defrauded his way into the White House, emerged Sunday night to claim a defining American victory. Osama bin Laden is dead. Because Barack Hussein Obama ordered his killing. It may be too much to hope that this tremendous achievement, one that eluded both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, will earn Obama a break from critics who say he shouldn’t
be president because he’s endemically incompatible with the job. But perhaps bin Laden’s death, and Obama’s understated announcement of it, can re-center us on the strength and unity that emerged briefly from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. That day, we were all attacked, and scared, and convinced that our common enemies were greater than our individual differences of opinion. There was a coalescing around the idea that there is an American security agenda that needed to be pursued, and protected. Of course, that consensus all fell apart over the wars and their expenses, over the expansion of our agenda to Iraq and people who had nothing to do with 9/11, over endless detentions and water-boarding and Abu Ghraib. But the end of bin Laden is an opportunity to recall what binds us as Americans. President Obama should not need to do anything more to prove he cherishes that bond as much as anyone else. Christopher Burbank Moultonborough

LETTERS Chinese economy will overtake the U.S., and sooner than you think To the editor, Do you think that the state of the deficit is inconsequential? Do you believe it is something for the talking heads on the evening news? Well you might want to check this out. Not everyone in the world agrees. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), has announced a date for the moment when the “Age of America” will end. They have announced the U.S. economy will be overtaken in size by that of China. And it’s a lot closer than you may think. According to the latest IMF official forecasts, China’s economy will surpass that of America in real terms in 2016, five years from now. Put that in your calendar. The announcement provides a context for the budget debate not seriously taking place in Washington, D.C. It raises questions about what the international securities system is going to look like in just a handful of years. It casts a deepening cloud over the U.S. dollar. It raises issue with the giant Treasury market expansion which has been propped up for decades by the privileged status of the dollar as the world reserve currency. According to the IMF forecast, whoever is elected U.S. president next year will be the last to preside over the world’s largest economy. Most people aren’t prepared for this. They aren’t even aware it’s that close. Listen to talking heads and they will tell you this moment is decades away. The most bearish will put the figure in the mid-2020s. But they’re miscounting.
They’re only comparing the gross domestic products of the two countries using current exchange rates. That’s a largely meaningless comparison in real terms. Exchange rates change quickly. China’s exchange rates are phony. China artificially undervalues its currency, the renminbi, through large scale government intervention in the markets. The IMF in its analysis looks beyond exchange rates to the true, real terms picture of the economies using “purchasing power parities.” That compares what people earn and spend in real terms in their domestic economies. Under PPP, the Chinese economy will expand from $11.2-trillion this year to $19-trillion in 2016. Meanwhile the U.S. economy will rise from $15.2-trillion to $18.8-trillion. That would take America’s share of the world output down to 17.7-percent, the lowest in modern times. China’s would reach 18-percent, and is rising. Ten years ago, the U.S. economy was three times the size of China’s. Extrapolate that growth rate and see what it does for you. Naturally, all forecasts are fallible. Time and chance happen to them all. The actual date when China surpasses the U.S. might come even earlier than the IMF predicts, or somewhat later. If the great Chinese juggernaut blows a tire, as a growing number fear it might, it could even delay things by several years. But the outcome is scarcely in doubt. And Nero fiddled as Rome burned...

Tell your legislators to stop cutting New Hampshire’s quality of life To the editor, Some 70 years ago the first Social Security checks were written and food stamps initiated. Some 50 years ago the government terminated the poll tax as a condition to vote. In the 60s, President Kennedy issued an executive order allowing federal employees to unionize and collectively bargain. In 1975 legislation was developed to assure children with disabilities would have opportunities for an education in public schools. Turn the century and the war on terrorism began! Government has faced these challenges and so many more! Last year N.H. was described in superlatives — the best place to live and raise a family, the healthiest state, one of the best education systems, the safest state, lowest unemployment rate, low high school dropout rate, etc.. Now I hear legislators talk nonsense. They talk about issues we’ve long ago dealt with. They talk as if government is “our enemy.” It is not! We have an effective, transparent and responsible government. Friday night at a public forum in Ossipee we heard the voices of area citizens; six of our 15 legislators took the time to listen. Families told their stories about special needs children, the family support and mental health programs that saved them from des-
peration. They talked of program cuts that will mean mental health emergencies will be treated in hospital emergency rooms, unless they occur M-F 8-5. They talked about a child care subsidy that helps families maintain employment. They talked about a funding cut for RSVP, an essential program for those needing transportation to medical appointments and the loss of the community-based ServiceLink program. We heard about requiring voters to present ID cards. We heard about eliminating the children in need of services program (CHINS) and changes to the Healthy Kids medical insurance. We heard about the need to invent new initiatives to increase revenue. With deliberation and expertise, our governors, public servants, and previous legislators have given N.H. programs and policies that are highly effective and often prevent more costly expenditures, save lives, and improve the quality of life for ALL. Under consideration are actions way too extreme for N.H. We must not allow these legislators to continue this assault on the people of N.H. Contact your legislators! We have problems to solve, let’s get to them! Susan Wiley Sandwich

Cost shifting pushing N.H. toward highest health insurance premiums in U.S. New Hampshire’s businesses pay the 3rd highest private health insurance premiums in the U.S., according to a 2009 Commonwealth Fund report, and as much as 25-percent of the premium in 2009 (or $683-million) was attributable to cost shifting, according to the N.H. Center for Public Policy Studies. State budget proposals could push the 25-percent number to 30-percent or beyond. Cost shifting is when hospitals have to make (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)up for unpaid costs, principally from Medicaid, Medicare and the uninsured which cannot otherwise be absorbed. It is a significant business climate issue for N.H.’s businesses and our economy at large. Growing existing businesses, attracting new ones, and providing reasonable benefits to employees when we are headed toward the highest private health insurance rates in the country is not consistent with other legislative and regulatory efforts to improve N.H.’s business climate and the economy as a whole. The Business and Industry Association and other business groups in N.H. are rightly concerned with health insurance costs as are the state’s hospitals. I suspect the public and business community at large is unaware that the state’s hospitals are subject to a Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET), which is currently 5.5-percent of net revenues. In the current budget proposal the state’s 13 larger hospitals would pay more in taxes than they receive in payments from the State of N.H. for taking care of Medicaid patients, effectively subsidizing other aspects of the state’s budget. The MET tax revenue on 13 hospitals would unbelievably exceed what the state collects from either the $131-million in liquor taxes; the $85-million in interest and dividends taxes; the $86-million in insurance premium tax and $80-million in the real estate transfer tax. New Hampshire is the only state I am aware of that does not direct, at least in part, some of the federal match generated through the MET to enhance Medicaid rates and thereby lessen the cost shift pressures. The recent Federal Reserve report on the N.H. economy notes that N.H. takes great advantage of loopholes in the federal law around the Medicaid system, using money meant to provide health care for the poor to pay for other parts of
our state budget, while consciously exacerbating the cost shift. Are hospitals intending to address the state’s deficit reduction problem like so many other organizations? Yes we do and we certainly have been doing so; we are in this together with the business community. So what are hospital’s doing? LRGHealthcare, like all hospitals, has three ways to contend with the potential budget reality. We can (1) improve productivity; we have already eliminated raises for more than two years; we have fewer employees through attrition, reorganization, and technology; we have implemented cost sharing increases for our employees in their benefits; and initiated other expense reductions (one example was forming an Insurance Captive with other hospitals and thereby saving 45-percent in general liability and malpractice costs); and we have reshaped programs, working with the EMS community and other hospitals to improve heart attack survival to nearly four times better than the national average. (2) profitability reduction, the $4.6-million in prior Medicaid reductions pushed LRGHealthcare to a $2.3-million operating loss (about 1-percent) from a positive 2-percent margin two years ago. Hospitals, like other businesses, have credit covenants to maintain so they have ready and cost effective access to capital, which also helps keep costs down. (3) Cost shifting is the last and least attractive option; it is my prediction that the $683-million in costs pushed to private insurance carriers reported in 2009 will likely increase, according to my own analysis, the total cost shift to 30-percent or higher, meaning private health insurance rates would be 30-percent higher than they otherwise would if government programs like Medicaid paid more of the cost of caring for those patients. The business community and the public at large need to be aware of potentially having the highest private health insurance premiums in the U.S. If it is of concern to you, please let your legislators know, particularly your State Senator at this stage of the budget process, before one more aspect of the N.H. Advantage is diminished. A responsible state budget is something hospitals support for the good of us all, however, potentially having the highest private health insurance premiums in the nation needs to be addressed.

State budget cuts predicted to drive health insurance premiums even higher By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
NORTHFIELD — Although he was one of the Hall Memorial Library’s most loyal patrons, staff at the facility, which serves residents of both Tilton and Northfield, didn’t realize how much the library meant to Daniel Clark until he died last year and willed the institution his home. Calling the gift “just amazing,” Hall Memorial Library Trustee Chairman Leif Martinson announced during a trustee’s meeting on Monday that the library had sold the house and real estate for $63,000, netting the library a $57,000 windfall According to Clark’s will, the proceeds may only be used for improvements to the building and not for operating expenses. Aside from the library’s founding trust, Martinson said Clark’s gift is by several factors the largest in the library’s history. Clark, who had taught social studies at Winnisquam Middle School, had been an almost daily visitor to the library for as long as librarian Mary Ahlgren could remember. Describing his personality as that of an “old Yankee,” she said Clark was reserved with his comments, never read books and became suddenly outgoing if there was food to be had. “He always read the papers, all of them, always took out DVDs. If there were any snacks around, he was happy to be offered some,” Ahlgren said. After exhausting the library’s periodicals and using the public computers, Clark would pass by the circulation desk and say, simply, “Have a day,” to the staffer at that station, then walk the short distance home. One day, he revealed to a staffer that he was sick, an unusual and personal revelation. “That was a big deal,” said Ahlgren.
“Everyone here thought of him as an old friend,” Ahlgren recalled. When Clark was hospitalized, she called him and asked if she could visit. “He said as long as you don’t bring any books,” she said, laughing at the memory. Clark died of cancer on August 14, 2010. About a month later, the library staff and trustees were shocked to learn of his extraordinary generosity. He left his monetary assets to the New Hampshire Humane Society and his real estate at 42 Summer Street to the library. “For us, it was a total surprise,” Ahlgren said. “I still find it incredible that a person of his means, a retired teacher, would leave this much money. He must have loved this place,” said Martinson. The library is organized as a private trust that serves both Tilton and Northfield. Its operating budget, about $249,000, is funded primarily through tax dollars from each community. There are about 2,500 Hall Memorial Library cards in active circulation. The library loans about 6,000 items each month and during Library Week in April staff counted 1,081 visits. Trustees noted that the facility, consisting of a 10-year-old addition built onto a 125 year-old building, has its share of quirks and mechanical issues. Trustees, acting on the urging of town boards, were working to build a capital improvement plan to address the building’s current and anticipated problems. “While we’re going through this, we got this amazing windfall,” said Martinson. Trustees aren’t sure yet how they’ll use the Clark gift, or how they’ll commemorate his gesture. “We’ll have to do something to honor his memory,” said trustee Nellie Grant.
CONCORD — While lawmakers claim economic recovery among their highest priorities, representatives of the medical and business communities warn that the treatment of hospitals in the 2012-2013 state budget threatens to stifle growth by driving up the cost of health insurance. Medicaid provides health insurance for lowincome individuals and families. The program is a partnership, in which the federal government matches state expenditures dollar for dollar. The state sets Medicaid reimbursement rates paid to health care providers. The budget adopted by the House, which is now before the Senate Finance Committee, eliminates $115-million in payments to 13 hospitals, including Lakes Region General Hospital, to defray a portion of the cost of treating uninsured and Medicaid patients. As a result, the hospitals would also forgo an equal amount in federal matching funds, raising the total loss of revenue to $230-million. At the same time, the state would continue to impose its Medicaid Enhancement Tax, levied at a rate of 5.5-percent of net revenues, on hospitals. Altogether the 13 hospitals would pay almost $155-million per year in taxes without receiving the offsetting payments for uncompensated care. In other words, the state would collect more in tax receipts from hospitals than it would reimburse them for treating indigent, uninsured and Medicaid patients. Leslie Melby of the New Hampshire Hospital Association noted that this cut follows reductions in Medicaid reimbursement payments to hospitals of $70-million during the last two years. The American Hospital Association reported that New Hampshire reimburses its hospitals 60-cents on the dollar for the cost of treating Medicaid patients, the 51st lowest rate among the 53 states and territories. To address these deficits hospitals shift unpaid costs to paying patients, primarily to the privately insured, by charging them more than the actual cost of their treatment. The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies calculated that in 2009 the 26 hospitals shifted $683-million in unpaid costs, most of it to the privately insured. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Fund reported that in New Hampshire average employer-sponsored health insurance premiums rose 47-percent for a single plan and 39-percent for a family plan between 2003 and 2008 to rank as the second and third highest in the country respectively. The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies estimated that costshifting represents perhaps as much as a quarter of employer-sponsored health insurance premiums. The prospect that further reductions in payments to hospitals will lead to increased cost-shifting and higher premiums moved Jim Roche, president of the New Hampshire Business and Industry Association, to remind legislators of their pledge to improve the business climate and to urge them to reconsider reducing funding to hospitals. Likewise, Henry Lipman, senior vice-president and chief financial officer of LRGHealthcare, said that “increasing what are already among the very highest health insurance rates in the country will see next page
CANADA from page one which avoided raising fears among Canadians that he would implement a radical right wing agenda. Harper has said he will not tinker with Canada’s liberal abortion and gay rights laws and on Tuesday sought to reassure the country of his commitment to public health care. “I think we’ve made it very clear that we support Canada’s system of universal public health insurance,” Harper said after securing four years of uninterrupted government. While Harper’s hold on Parliament has been ten-
uous during his five-year tenure, he has managed to nudge an instinctively center-left country to the right, gradually lowering sales and corporate taxes, avoiding climate change legislation and promoting Arctic sovereignty. He has also upped military spending, extended Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan and staunchly backed Israel’s right-wing government. Stephen Clarkson, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto, said the 52-year-old Harper should now be considered a transformative
figure in Canadian history. “It’s a sea change,” Clarkson said. “We’ve had Conservative governments before but not a neo-Conservative that wants to reduce government.” Harper forged an alliance of old and new Tory parties to form the Conservative Party of Canada and has now cemented his legacy. The White House said President Barack Obama called Harper to congratulate him on his victory and said Obama looks forward to renewing a commitment to improve security and trade along the border.

Breach of bail charges pile up against man accused of assaulting pregnant girlfriend BY GAIL OBER
LACONIA — A Laconia District Court judge ruled Monday that the man who allegedly beat his pregnant girlfriend and later allegedly tried to coerce her into not testifying against him was competent to stand trial. Nathan Scaringi, 25, formerly of 178 Union Ave. faces 12 counts of breach of bail for contacting or attempting to contact his victim and was indicted last week on three felony counts of witness tampering. He also faces four counts of simple assault for allegedly slapping the victim, restraining her by holding her hands behind her back, sitting on her and spitting on her. After his initial arrest for assault on Jan. 11, Scaringi was ordered held on $5,000 cash-only bail. According to Laconia Police affidavits, officers responded to the apartment after a neighbor called and reported a disturbance. When police arrived, Scaringi allegedly told them he had had a verbal argument with one of his male friends who had already left the apartment. When police asked him for permission to search the home, he assented and Officer Kevin Shortt found Scaringi’s victim hiding in the back of a closet. Once incarcerated in the Belknap County Jail, Scaringi allegedly used a fellow inmate’s identification to call
his victim on 12 separate occasions. In three of those calls, police allege he attempted to influence the victim — leading to his indictment on three felony counts of witness tampering. When Scaringi appeared before Judge Jim Carroll for the breach of bail and witness tampering charges, Carroll increased his bail to $50,000, cash-only. During Monday’s appearance, Scaringi, dressed in olive green prison garb and handcuffed, was represented by Public Defender John Bresaw. Carroll allowed Scaringi’s four assault charges and 12 breach of bail charges to be heard on the same day later this month as long as Scaringi waived his right to a speedy trial. In a related matter, Gilford Town Prosecutor Crp. Eric Bredbury also filed a motion to impose a cash sentence for Scaringi’s Nov. 8, 2010 conviction for criminal trespassing. In exchange for his guilty plea, Scaringi was fined $1,000 plus $240 in court costs suspended on good behavior for one year. Since he has been charged with additional counts, Bredbury’s motion to impose half of his previous fine — or $620 — will be heard on the same day as his trial for the misdemeanors. No date has been scheduled in Belknap County Superior Court for the three felonies.

SPEED from page one Senate Bill 27, which carried the Senate by the narrowest of margins, appeared to have strong support in the Transportation Committee. The Lakes Region is not represented on the committee, whose chairman, Representative Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry), has always voted against speed limits, and vice-chairman, Representative John Hikel (R-Goffstown) sponsored the bill. But, Hikel alone spoke in support of the bill. The dozen Republicans on the committee split evenly while all five Democrats voted against the bill.
The split among Republicans on the committee mirrored a rift in the GOP leadership in the House between Speaker Bill O’Brien and Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt. After twice voting against speed limits and assuring Verdonck he would do so again, Bettencourt told members that he considered speed limits a local issue and would join representatives from the Lakes Region in upholding them. “He took everyone by surprise,” said Verdonck, who said his group will do all it can to ensure that Bettencourt’s first term as majority leader is his last. Meanwhile, as the committee convened, O’Brien
LACONIA from page one Superintendent Robert Champlin to Vachon explaining the circumstances when an individual may be searched. “Typically, we are acting on some kind of information we have received,” Champlin said. He said using police dogs in the schools is a delicate balancing act between protecting students and maintaining a drug-free school and creating anxiety among students — especially when the dogs are brought in. Champlin revealed that on Monday local and state police held a drill at the Laconia Middle School where the students were put into a “soft lock down” — meaning they were confined to their classrooms — while police and administrators conducted the drill. “We want the message out there that we don’t want that stuff in our schools,” Champlin said. “We also want a policy that we can work with.” He said administrators have been working closely with the Laconia Police Department on creating the
policy and he will discuss Vachon’s concerns with them. He said the random searches of the city’s schools will have to be coordinated efforts between the school department’s administrators, the Laconia Police and the N.H. State Police because Laconia’s only K-9 dog and his trainer are not always immediately available for random searches. The random dog searches will be planned and coordinated but not announced he explained. The policy states all dogs used in the random searches will be handled by a qualified and authorized trainer. Other specifics of the proposed policy are that only the School Resource Officer and building administrators are authorized to conduct a search of a person and only then with reasonable suspicion. The policy states that reasonable suspicion means a district employee has reasonable grounds to believe either the law or school rules have been broken and may be established if a school district employee observes, hears or is informed of behavior or actions that violate the rules or the law.

swept into the room with five Republican representatives in tow intending to replace any absent committee members by his appointment. Three were missing; two on opposite sides of the issue and one whose position was in doubt. All three replacements voted with the minority in favor of the bill. Hikel began by claiming that there is no evidence that speed poses problems on the lake and reminding the committee that the bill would permit “55 mph. not 85 mph.on the open water of The Broads. No one else, either Republican or Democrat, spoke for the bill. Representative Brian Rhodes (D-Nashua) reminded the committee during a four-hour hearing those speaking against raising the speed limit on The Broads outnumbered supporters of the bill by seven-to-one. Moreover, he said they included a mix of business owners, including a number of marina operators, who said that speed limits have benefited the Lakes Region economy. Representative Lisa Scontsas (R-Nashua) added that not one business owner supported the bill at the hearing. Several committee members stressed the overwhelming opposition to the bill expressed by the those who live and work in the Lakes Region. When Hikel’s motion of “ought to pass” failed 11 to 6, he offered an amendment to form a study committee to consider the issue, which was rejected by the same margin. With that the committee voted to report the bill to the House “inexpedient to legislate.” In New Hampshire, all bills are reported to the floor of the House or Senate for action, even if the committee that studied the matter voted not to recommend the legislation. Since 2006, when the first speed limit bill was introduced, the cause has drawn a large, broad and diverse constituency, especially but not exclusively in the Lakes Region while the opposition appears confined to a relatively small but articulate group of powerboating enthusiasts. The committee vote suggests that even lawmakers with a libertarian bent, disinclined to extend regulation, sense that the greater reward may lie with numbers rather than principle.

LEVEE from page 2 staying with a cousin in nearby Charleston, and he’s not sure when, or if, he’ll get to go home. “It could be three weeks. It could be two months,” he said. “The government’s not giving us any kind of timetable.” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said farmers who had crop insurance will be eligible for government reimbursements if their land was flooded. Other forms of help will be available for livestock producers and tree farmers under the same programs designed for natural disasters. People who lost homes may also be eligible for rural housing loans. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who stood behind the state’s failed legal fight to stop the destruction of the levee , said state leaders would do everything
Belmont police seek woman with stolen bank card BELMONT — Police here are seeking information about a woman who allegedly went into the Northway Bank near the Belknap Mall on Monday and tried to use a stolen bank card to withdraw $220. Police said bank officials notified them at 3:20 p.m. and witnesses said she was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with the number 19 on the back and big sunglasses. She was reported seen getting into a mid 2000ish silver Toyota Corolla and left the area by going behind the nearby Shaw’s Supermarket. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Belmont Police Department at 267-8350 or you can send a tip anonymously by texting “BPDNH plus your tip” to 274637 (CRIMES). LEVEE from page 2 “within our power to make sure the levee is rebuilt and those fields, the most fertile fields in the heartland, are put back in production.” By blowing the levee, the corps hoped to reduce the river level at Cairo and ease pressure on the floodwall protecting the town. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Mississippi had receded to 60.2 feet and continued to fall, a day after a record crest. “Things look slightly better, but we’re not out of the woods,” Police Chief Gary Hankins said while driving his patrol car past jail inmates assigned to fill sandbags outside an auto-parts store. But if Cairo and other spots were dodging disaster, ominous flooding forecasts were raising alarm from southeast Missouri to Louisiana and Mississippi. In Missouri, the town of Caruthersville was bracing for a crest of 49.7 feet later this week. The flood wall protecting the town can hold back up to 50 feet, but a sustained crest will pressure the wall. Workers have been fortifying the concrete and earthen barrier with thousands of sand bags. Memphis could see a near-record crest of 48 feet on May 10, just inches lower than the record of 48.7 feet in 1937. Water from the Wolf and Loosahatchie rivers has already seeped into parts of the suburbs, and some mobile home parks were inundated. Flooding fears prompted Shelby County authorities to declare an emergency for 920,000 residents. Authorities blocked some suburban streets, and about 220 people were staying in shelters. Farther south, the lower Mississippi River was expected to crest well above flood stages in a region still dealing with the aftermath of last week’s deadly tornadoes.

Forecasters say the river could break records in Mississippi that were set during catastrophic floods in 1927 and 1937. Gov. Haley Barbour started warning people last week to take precautions if they live in flood-prone areas near the river. He compared the swell of water moving downriver to a pig moving through a python. Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh — the man ultimately responsible for the decision to go through with breaking the Missouri levee — has indicated that he may not stop. In recent days, Walsh has said he might also make use of other downstream basins surrounded by levees that can intentionally be opened to divert floodwaters. Unlike the Missouri levee, these floodways can be opened using gates designed for the purpose, not explosives. Among the structures that could be tapped are the 58-year-old Morganza floodway near Morgan City, La., and the Bonnet Carre floodway about 30 miles north of New Orleans. The Morganza has been pressed into service just once, in 1973. The Bonnet Carre, which was christened in 1932 has been opened nine times since 1937, most recently in 2008. During a news conference Tuesday night, Walsh characterized the chances of being forced to open the Bonnet Carre flood gates as “high” and the chances at Morganza as “medium.”

NYC subway legend to sing at free Putnam Fund concert on Friday
LACONIA — Alice Tan Ridley’s life-long singing career has seen her tour in northern Africa, Europe, South America. For most of the past 20 years, though, her performances took place in the subways of New York City, where her voice was known for causing subway riders to miss their train. In 2010 and at the age of 58, Ridley’s career rocketed out of the subway platform when she auditioned for the NBC reality show “America’s Got Talent,” where her soul and rhythm and blues performances, combined with her personality, impressed judges and charmed audiences. Ridley didn’t win the reality show competition but has enjoyed a surging career since, a career which will bring her to Laconia on Friday night thanks to the Laconia Putnam Fund. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Church. As in all Putnam Fund concerts, there is no admission fee and seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis. Visit www.alicetanridley.com for
links to videos of her singing, both on grand stages and subway platforms.
BIN LADEN from page 2 adviser, John Brennan, said: “If we had the opportunity to take bin Laden alive, if he didn’t present any threat, the individuals involved were able and prepared to do that.” Will it matter around the world? Some may try to make much of it in Pakistan and elsewhere. “This country has gone through a lot of trauma in terms of violence, and whether or not he was armed is not going to make a difference to people who were happy to see the back of him,” said Mosharraf Zaidi, a political analyst and columnist in Pakistan. “The majority have a mistrust of America and this will reinforce their mistrust of America.” Others may not even believe it. “I think he was definitely armed and he was firing on U.S. commandos,” said Hamid Mir, an anchor for Geo Television. “Osama told me many times that he will not surrender; he claimed that he will fight and I think he was fighting.” In Washington, the issue will become part of the political debate over Obama’s terror policies. His national security team had offered differing accounts of what would happen if the U.S. ever had a chance to kill or capture bin Laden. And Republicans have criticized the president for shutting down the CIA’s controversial network of overseas prisons and trying to close Guantanamo Bay, moves they say have left the U.S. with few options for interrogating terrorists. On Monday, the White House said bin Laden was involved in a firefight, which is why the SEALs killed rather than captured him. On Tuesday, however, White House press secretary Jay Carney said bin Laden did not fire on the SEALs. He said bin Laden resisted but offered no specifics. Bin Laden’s wife rushed the SEALs when they stormed the room, Carney said, and was shot in the calf “Bin Laden was then shot and killed,” Carney said. “He was not armed.” That was one of many official details that have changed in the two days since bin Laden was killed. A White House transcript misidentified which
of bin Laden’s sons was killed — it was Khalid, not Hamza. Officials incorrectly said bin Laden’s wife died in gunfire while serving as his human shield. That was actually bin Laden’s aide’s wife, and she was just caught in cross fire, the White House said Tuesday. Carney attributed those discrepancies to the fog of war, saying the information was coming in bit by bit and was still being reviewed. “We provided a great deal of information with great haste in order to inform you, and through you the American public, about the operation and how it transpired and the events that took place there in Pakistan,” Carney told reporters Tuesday. “And obviously some of the information came in piece by piece and is being reviewed and updated and elaborated on.” Five people were killed in the raid, officials said: Bin Laden; his son; his most trusted courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, and al-Kuwaiti’s wife and brother. After killing the world’s most wanted terrorist, the SEAL team in just minutes quickly swept bin Laden’s compound for useful intelligence, making off with a cache of computer equipment and documents. The CIA was hurriedly setting up a task force to review the material from the highest level of al-Qaida’s leadership. The documents provide a rare opportunity for U.S. intelligence. When a mid-level terrorist is captured, his bosses know exactly what information might be compromised and can change plans. When the boss is taken, everything might be compromised but nobody knows for sure. Al-Kuwaiti inadvertently led intelligence officials to bin Laden when he used a telephone last year to talk with someone the U.S. had wiretapped. The CIA then tracked al-Kuwaiti back to the walled compound in a town near Islamabad. The home was bigger than those nearby, and there were no phone lines or Internet cables running to it. But other than that, it didn’t stand out in the neighborhood. The walls are moldstained, there are trees in the garden and the windows are hidden.

Out of the nine splashes, she made finals in the 100 Freestyle, 200 Individual Medley, and 200 Freestyle, and made first alternate in two other events. Courtney Leach, age 17, was unable to attend the Championships due to a conflict with her attendance in the High School New England meet, where she placed 10th in the Women’s 100 Freestyle.

The disk jockeys are donating their time and talents for the evening entertainment, which was organized by Mike Lemay of Smooth Entertainment, an employee of the Nursing Home who has entertained residents as a volunteer for many years.
Christmas Island Steakhouse has generously agreed to donate the $5 cover charge to the cause. In addition, they are inviting patrons to come for dinner and receive $5 off two entrees by presenting their ticket to the waitstaff. The Residents’ Activities Fund is used to provide weekly music programs, bingo prizes, religious services, games, a cotillion, a luau, and outings to the Squam Lakes Science Center, Mount Washington Cruises, ballgames, and shopping excursions.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis respondence. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You stay busy, taking action because you enjoy the feeling of being in motion. This is more than a whirlwind of activity. You are dancing with life, and the two of you make a dashing duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll do your best, not because you’re trying to make someone like you or because it’s been suggested that it’s what you should do. You’ll do your best because it’s who you are -- a winner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Practice will make you better. You’ll figure out how to best focus your efforts. It requires humility, honesty and a lack of ego to see the results you’re getting and determine what needs improving. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Galileo was arrested for saying the Earth orbits around the sun. One era’s dangerous radical is another era’s harmless eccentric. You have some of your own potentially incendiary ideas and must be careful whom you tell. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your responsibilities will be many. Handling them all depends on your level of organization. Make a list and check it twice. Otherwise, something is sure to fall through the cracks. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 4). You have big plans for this year, and yet you are still able to live in the moment -- it’s the secret to your perpetual youth. Your visual sense is brilliant, and you put your style stamp on everything in your personal environment, from your clothing to your cooking and your home, inside and out. You share a special bond with Libra and Aquarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 7, 39, 26 and 4.
by Richard Thompson
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re sending out all the right signals, and you’ll soon meet your perfect match for business and/or pleasure. Keep your people skills tuned so you can be ready to connect. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Contributions that were taken for granted will now be noticed. You’ll be celebrated. Your usual graciousness will be appreciated. And if you do something extra, your loved ones will be beside themselves. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be in another one of your playful moods. Your affectionate joking will be well received as long as you keep it light and steer clear of truly sensitive triggers. You’ll invigorate a relationship with humor. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your work will be a major source of selfesteem. You don’t mind knocking yourself out to do a good job today, because in the end, you know it will matter. It will be nice to hear the pleased comments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be asked to do something you just don’t understand. You need to know the purpose and the plan; otherwise, you have a hard time following through. So ask more questions. Don’t act until you “get it.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wishing won’t make it so. It’s a start, though -- an indicator of what goals you might be willing to put effort behind. For extra luck, make a declaration to Capricorn or Taurus about what you’ll do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be negotiating terms of intimacy. You’ll be deciding whether to hug or shake hands and putting thought into the salutations at the beginning and end of every cor-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, May 4, the 124th day of 2011. There are 241 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 4, 1961, the first group of “Freedom Riders” left Washington, D.C., to challenge racial segregation on interstate buses and in bus terminals. (The Freedom Riders were repeatedly attacked by violent mobs, mostly in Alabama.) On this date: In 1626, Dutch explorer Peter Minuit landed on present-day Manhattan Island. In 1776, Rhode Island declared its freedom from England, two months before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. In 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago, a labor demonstration for an 8-hour work day turned into a deadly riot when a bomb exploded. In 1904, the United States took over construction of the Panama Canal. In 1916, responding to a demand from President Woodrow Wilson, Germany agreed to limit its submarine warfare. In 1932, mobster Al Capone, convicted of income-tax evasion, entered the federal penitentiary in Atlanta. In 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first naval clash fought entirely with carrier aircraft, began during World War II. In 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire during an anti-war protest at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others. In 1980, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, president of Yugoslavia, died three days before his 88th birthday. One year ago: A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was charged with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. Faisal Shahzad (FY’-sul shah-ZAHD’) later pleaded guilty to plotting to set off the propane-andgasoline bomb in an SUV and was sentenced to life in prison. Today’s Birthdays: The former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, is 83. Opera singer Roberta Peters is 81. Jazz musician Ron Carter is 74. Rock musician Dick Dale is 74. Singer-songwriter Nick Ashford is 69. Pop singer Peggy Santiglia (The Angels) is 67. Actor Richard Jenkins is 64. Country singer Stella Parton is 62. Actor-turned-clergyman Hilly Hicks is 61. Irish musician Darryl Hunt (The Pogues) is 61. Singer Jackie Jackson (The Jacksons) is 60. Rhythm-and-blues singer Oleta Adams is 58. Rhythm-andblues singer Sharon Jones is 55. Country singer Randy Travis is 52. Actress Mary McDonough is 50. Comedian Ana Gasteyer is 44. Actor Will Arnett is 41. Rock musician Mike Dirnt (Green Day) is 39. Contemporary Christian singer Chris Tomlin is 39. TV personality and fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons is 36. Rock musician Jose Castellanos is 34. Singer Lance Bass is 32.

Sanbornton Library to celebrate new computer lab at Open House from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 7
SANBORNTON — The Public Library will celebrate the donation of a new computer lab at an Open House to be held from 9 a.m. — 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 7. For the past several years, residents Robert and Patricia Risley have been seeking a way to honor the memory of their son, Aaron, who died in a motor vehicle accident in 2005. “Aaron had many passions, but his gift for computers was obvious from even a very young age,” said his father. When he was 16, Aaron was hired to design a Web site for the J. Oliva Huot Technical Center in Laconia. The next year, the city’s adult education program asked him to teach a course in Web design. By the time he was a freshman at UNH’s Whittemore School of Business in 2004, he already owned his own computer company and was professionally engaged as the systems administrator and Webmaster for the Heart of New Hampshire Magazine. The new computer lab will be located in the
library’s historic Woodman Room and will have six new state-of-the-art laptops. Cab Vinton, director of the library, said the donation “is crucial for helping us make sure that no one is left behind as information technology races on.” Vinton says the new computer lab will host a wide range of classes, taught by library staff and other local experts, on topics including computer basics, email, internet search skills, basic office software, online job hunting, and social media. “Computers and the internet are now essential tools for learning, work, and play. Thanks to the Risleys, our library is able to continue its long tradition of providing equal access to information for everyone, regardless of where they live or how much money they make.” The Open House will feature refreshments and scavenger hunts for adults and children with a chance to win prizes available to those who complete the challenges. For more information, call 286-8288 or e-mail spl@metrocast.net.

Saxophonist Jonathan Lorentz to perform with jazz trio at Kathleen’s Cottage in Bristol on May 7
4 DAYS ONLY
May 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Landmark Inn, 480 Main St. Laconia, NH 603-380-8064
BRISTOL — Saxophonist Jonathan Lorentz will perform with bassist John Hunter and drummer Gabe Jarrett at Kathleen’s Cottage at 7 p.m. on Saturday May 7. Recently relocated to the Lakes Region from New York, Lorentz is an adventurous improviser who blends modern jazz with blues, rock, and the avant-garde. He has performed at The Bitter End, The Cutting Room, Smalls, The Blue Note, and at various venues throughout the northeast and abroad. His 2010 album “Borderlands” was released on England’s Métier Jazz label. According to Fanfare magazine, “Jonathan Lorentz has really got it: a great style, an explorative mind, and a concept that goes beyond the usual fare you hear from jazz sax trios.” Bassist John Hunter, from the Portsmouth area, has performed from coast to coast accompanying such
jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Art Farmer, Milt Jackson and Joe Williams. His playing is highly intuitive, his repertoire extensive, and he’s a great listener and all around musician. The Rockingham Gazette stated, “John is fast emerging as one of the most respected bass soloists in the country.” Drummer Gabe Jarrett, from Burlington, VT, began playing music as a child and spent countless hours practicing in his family’s New Jersey basement.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, May 4, 2011— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My mother is in her late 80s and is becoming increasingly difficult. She’s always been rather critical, but now she is downright rude and insulting. It’s as though being old gives her the right to say anything that pops into her head without consideration for anyone else’s feelings. My husband tells me to ignore her comments. I know he’s right, but old habits die hard, and I still try to defend myself, and also my family when she insults them. I know she isn’t going to change, so somehow I have to find a better way to respond to her. Please give me some strategies to control my instinctive defensive reactions -without starting an argument, being “hateful” (her word) or walking away, which would be tantamount to declaring war. -- Dutiful Daughter Dear Daughter: Your mother may be exhibiting early signs of dementia, one of which is the inability to censor what comes out of her mouth. Ask if you can accompany her to her next doctor’s appointment. That will give you an opportunity to mention this possibility to the doctor and request an evaluation. Perhaps if you can keep in mind that her insults are not entirely within her control, it will help you be less defensive and respond with sympathy. Dear Annie: Now that my own children are adults, I am constantly being asked by family members to watch their children on evenings and weekends. But I have a full-time job and need my downtime. Plus, my home is no longer kid friendly. I like their children, but they are all under age 3, and it’s a lot of work. Every week, I’ll get a call asking whether I can come to their home or they can drop off their child at mine. They never offer to pay, and even if they did, I still don’t care to baby-sit. I have managed to come up with some excuses, but I’m tired of lying about being busy. Is there a tactful way to let them know I’m simply not
interested in spending my free time running a day care center? -No Day Care Dear No Day Care: You’ll have to risk a little fallout if you want this problem to go away. Tell your relatives, “I love your children dearly, but I simply don’t have the energy to run after toddlers anymore. Sorry.” If you want to be especially nice, you can offer on rare occasion to baby-sit when the kids are already asleep. Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Jennifer,” who is troubled by her safe-but-boring marriage. Her words tugged at my heart. I am also in my mid-40s and in a dull marriage. My husband is a decent man, but self-centered. At his hands, I was the victim of a single incident of marital rape, which he claims to not remember. I sought therapy, and my counselor said my husband, not a violent man, may have been in a dissociative state and unaware of his actions. I insisted my husband also have therapy, but he discontinued treatment because he didn’t think he had much to work on. I left psychotherapy after nearly 18 months when my therapist began to complain that I was not turning out to be one of her success stories. I feel worse now than I did before. My own family has been less than supportive. I have chosen to stay in this marriage because divorce would cause a great deal of emotional pain to our children. We are no longer intimate, and there are days when I feel so empty, I can’t even cry. I want Jennifer to know she is not alone. -- Caged Dear Caged: We appreciate your words of solidarity, but your situation and Jennifer’s are not the same. Her husband doesn’t excite her. Yours attacked you. A more understanding counselor might be able to help you move forward with a different therapeutic approach. Please try.
