Councilors looking at 2011 tax hike, after all Move said being made necessary by legislative downshifting of retirement costs LACONIA — After initially aiming not to increase the amount raised by property taxes through the 2011-2012 budget, the City Council last night broached the prospect of

a tax increase to offset a deficit arising from the Legislature transferring its share of retirement contributions for firefighters and police officers to municipalities.

Pam Reynolds, acting city manager, anticipated a shortfall of $318,218 after a series of adjustments to both revenues and expenses. The terms of the city’s property tax cap,

which limits annual increases in the tax burden to the rate of inflation plus the value of new construction, would allow the amount raised by property taxes to rise by more than $500,000 this year. see LaCONIa page15

GILFORD — Michael Vincent, it seems, was born to be a blues musician.

After graduating from high school here, and against the advice of his teachers, Vincent drove to Gulfport, Miss., where blues music is as commonplace as humidity and hurricanes.

His first night there, Vincent found a blues jam and hired his first drummer. Although see BLues page 10

Airlines collected $3.4-billion in bag fees last year

NEW YORK (AP) — Passengers hate them, but airlines can’t afford to give them up — those aggravating bag fees.

U.S. airlines collected $3.4 billion for checked luggage last year, according to a government report issued Monday.

That’s up 24 percent from 2009 and a big reason the industry made money again after three years of losses.

In 2010, the major airlines made a combined $2.6 billion in profits, less than they collected in bag fees. The fees — typically $50 roundtrip for the first piece of checked luggage and $70 for the second — allow the industry to navigate between rising fuel costs and customers who expect rockbottom airfares.

“If it weren’t for the fees, the airlines would most likely be losing money,” said Jim Corridore, airline analyst with Standard & Poor’s.

That’s little comfort to fliers who have increasingly felt nickel-anddimed by the airlines and now face a summer see BAGS page 8

Obama pledges to focus on job creation DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Beset by a grim employment picture, President Barack Obama on Monday pledged to ease the way for businesses to expand hiring and offered assurances to an anxious public that he is focused on creating jobs — the top political issue heading into the 2012 election and the Achilles heel of his presidency.

“The sky is not falling,” Obama said.

But the president, in a state that he nar-

rowly won in 2008, could not ignore dismal recent economic reports.

“Our economic challenges were years in the making,” he told workers at an energyefficient lighting plant in Durham, “and it will take years to get back to where we need to be.”

Obama called for educating more hightechnology workers, announcing a plan to train 10,000 new American engineers

every year through a public-private partnership. He also held a high-profile meeting with top CEOs who make up his advisory jobs council, offering encouragement for several ideas, including a plan that could create an estimated 114,000 jobs by increasing energy efficiencies in commercial and apartment buildings.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pressed some of the world’s last remaining friends of Moammar Gadhafi to abandon Libya’s strongman and join the growing international demand for him to cede power. She told African nations that their solidarity with the Libyan people could make the difference for a peaceful future.

Culminating a volcano-shortened trip to the Gulf and three African nations, Clinton told diplomats at the African Union head-

quarters in Ethiopia’s capital that they needed to recognize that Gadhafi forfeited his legitimacy to rule by attacking his own citizens.

It represented a difficult call for unity.

Gadhafi still has many friends in Africa after providing decades of military training and patronage for groups fighting apartheid and colonialism.

“Your words and actions could make the difference in bringing this situation to a close and allowing the people of Libya to

get to work rebuilding their country,” Clinton told African officials in Addis Ababa.

She said the world needed African leadership to end the standoff between opposition forces and Gadhafi’s troops.

For Clinton, the emphasis on the Libyan leader provided a full circle for a oneweek voyage that began in the United Arab Emirates, where she prodded NATO countries and Arab governments participating in the U.N.-mandated military missee AFRICA page 11

Ratcheting up the pressure on Weiner; Obama says if it were him he’d resign WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama, increasing pressure on Rep. Anthony Weiner to quit, said Monday that “I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign.”

In a rare foray into a congressman’s ethical conduct, Obama told NBC’s “Today” show that Weiner’s sexually charged

photos and messages online to several women was “highly inappropriate.”

“I think he’s embarrassed himself. He’s acknowledged that. He’s embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately, there’s gonna be a decision for him and is constituents. I can tell you that, if it was me, I would resign,” the president said in an

Republicans go after Obama, not each other during Manchester debate

MANCHESTER (AP) — Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night, and pledged emphatically to repeal his historic year-old health care overhaul.

“When 14 million Americans are out of work we need a new president to end the Obama Depression,” declared former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first among seven contenders on stage to criticize the president’s economic policies.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unannounced contender for the 2012 nomination, upstaged her rivals for a moment, using a nationwide television audience to announce she had filed papers earlier in the day to run — a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed in a bid to become a favorite of tea party voters.

Obama was hundreds of miles away on a day in which he blended a pledge to help companies create jobs in North Carolina with a series of campaign fundraisers in Florida. He won the two states in 2008, and both figure to be battlegrounds in 2012.

The New Hampshire event unfolded more than six months before the state hosts the first primary of the 2012 campaign, and the Republicans who shared a stage were plainly more interested in criticizing Obama than one another.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who first sought the nomination in 2008, was the nominal front-runner as the curtain rose on the debate.

But the public opinion polls that made him so are notoriously unreliable at this point in the campaign, when relatively few voters have begun to familiarize themselves with their choices.

Already, this race has had its share of surprises.

Several likely candidates decided not to run — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels among them — and at least one who ruled out a race is reconsidering. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said he will decide after the state Legislature completes its current session, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s plans are still unknown. see next page

Bruins force a game 7 in Vancouver after battering the Canucks, 5-2

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins put Roberto Luongo and the Stanley Cup back on the shelf.

After another home scoring spree against Vancouver’s wildly inconsistent goalie Monday night, the Bruins are making one last trip west for the big finish to these dramatic Stanley Cup finals.

Brad Marchand, Milan Lucic and Andrew Ference scored in the first 8:35 to chase Luongo from his second straight game in Boston, and the Bruins emphatically evened the finals with a 5-2 victory in Game 6, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 in Vancouver on Wednesday night.

For the sixth time in the last 10 seasons, the finals have been stretched to their limit. The home team hasn’t lost in this series, with Vancouver winning three one-goal games and Boston posting three blowout victories.

“I’m proud of the guys,” said Mark Recchi, who had three assists. “We had our backs to the wall, we’ve been resilient all year, and we came out and had a great first period and did what we had to do tonight, and it comes down to Game 7. It’s one game now.”

League MVP Henrik Sedin scored his first point of the finals with a late power-play goal for the Canucks, who flopped in their first attempt to win their franchise’s first championship. Maxim Lapierre also scored in the third period for the Canucks, who will get one last try at a Rogers Arena filled with worried Vancouverites hoping their maddening team can come through.

Tim Thomas made 36 saves for the Bruins, giving up two third-period goals while burnishing his credentials for the Conn Smythe Trophy as Boston moved one win away from its first championship since 1972.

“He’s been in his zone through the whole playoffs,” Boston coach Claude Julien said. “You can barely count on one hand the bad goals he’s given up in the whole playoffs. We all know that teams that have won the Stanley Cup have had unbelievable goaltending. We feel like we’ve got that.”

Thomas has given up just eight goals in six games in a virtuoso performance in the finals — but the spotlight in Game 6 was trained squarely on the other net.

After Luongo led Vancouver to the brink of a title with a stellar performance in a 1-0 victory Friday, the Canucks hoped to celebrate in Boston. The Bruins canceled that Garden party with yet another stunning barrage of goals against Luongo, who was ventilated for 15 goals in just over 4½ periods in Boston.

“You can’t hang your head and feel sorry for yourself,” Luongo said. “That’s the worst thing I could do. ...

I had a good feeling all day. Before the series started, I said I enjoyed playing in this building. Just got to move on right now. Got to believe in myself, right?”

Boston even set a finals record with four goals in 4:14 while chasing Luongo and welcoming his backup, Cory Schneider, with a quick goal from Michael Ryder.

Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault wasted no time confirming Luongo will start Game 7 in Vancouver, where he already has two shutouts in the series.

“I don’t have to say anything to him,” Vigneault said. “He’s a profesional. His preparation is beyond reproach, and he’s going to be ready for Game 7. ... It happened. There’s nothing we can do about it. We’ve already turned the page on that, and we’re going see BRUINS page 5

from preceding page Gingrich, quick off the mark in attacking Obama, suffered the mass exodus of the entire top echelon of his campaign last week, an unprecedented event that left his chances of winning the nomination in tatters.

All seven flashed their anti-abortion credentials, and were largely unified in opposition to same-sex marriage, which is legal in New Hampshire.

Several praised a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, a position popular among conservative voters. Bachmann said she supported that, but she added that states have the right to write their own laws and said that if elected president, she would not step into state politics — a nod to tea partyers who cherish the Constitution’s 10th Amendment.

Obama’s rivals found little if anything to like in what the president has done since taking office in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum accused Obama of pursuing “oppressive policies” that have shackled the economy.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty labeled Obama a “declinist” who views America “as one of equals around the world,” rather than a special nation.

“If Brazil can have 5 percent growth, if China can have 5 percent growth, then America can have 5 percent growth,” he added, shrugging off criticism that his own economic projections were impossibly rosy.

Businessman Herman Cain, a political novice, called for eliminating the capital gains tax as a way to stimulate job creation.

Romney stressed his experience as a businessman over 25 years as evidence that he can lead the nation out of a lingering recession.

Said Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the seventh contender on the stage: “As long as we are running a program that deliberately weakens our currency, our jobs will go overseas. And that’s what’s happening.”

As front-runner of a sort, Romney could well have expected criticism from his rivals.

But Pawlenty, a few feet away on the debate stage, at first sidestepped a chance to repeat his recent criticism of Romney in connection with the Massachusetts health care law that Romney signed as goversee next page

from preceding page nor. It includes a requirement for residents to purchase coverage, a forerunner of the “individual mandate” that conservatives loath in the new federal law.

“My using ‘Obamneycare’ was a reflection of the president’s comments,” Pawlenty said, referring to a word he coined in a Sunday interview.

Bachmann — newest to the race — drew one of the loudest rounds of applause Monday night from a partisan debate audience when she predicted that Obama would not win re-election. He is “a one-term president,” she declared.

Instead, the most conservative presidential field in memory all but said what Ronald Reagan once preached — that government was the problem.

Romney said the auto bailout was a mistake, and said more generally, “Instead of thinking in the federal budget what should we cut, we should ask ourselves the opposite question, ‘What should we keep?’”

Santorum criticized the financial bailout that Presidents George W. Bush and Obama backed, and Bachmann said she had worked in closed-door meetings in Congress to defeat the legislation when it was originally passed.

Pawlenty said politicians had caused the housing price bubble that contributed to the recession, and Paul blamed the recession on the Federal Reserve.

“As long as we do what we’re doing in Washington it’s going to last another 10 years,” Paul said.

“What we’re doing now is absolutely wrong,” he said of federal programs meant to support the housing industry.

Even when they differed, the White House hopefuls did so in muted terms.

Santorum said he wholeheartedly supported Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposal to turn Medicare into a program in which the government subsidizes beneficiaries who would seek coverage from private insurance companies. Under the current system, the government pays doctors and other health care providers directly.

Pawlenty said he would have a plan of his own that shared some features with Ryan’s but would differ on other points.

The program’s finances are perilous, and Republican calls for fundamental change are at the heart of a roiling debate in Congress that is expected to extend into the 2012 campaign for the White House and both houses of Congress.

BRUINS from page 3 back home.”

The Bruins are one win away from their Original Six franchise’s first championship since 1972. Boston has lost its last five trips to the finals since, never even reaching a seventh game — but the Bruins can hang another banner in the Garden rafters with one road win.

And the Bruins have ample experience in Game 7.

They’ve already played two in these playoffs, beating Montreal in the first round and Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals — but both of those games were at home, where Boston finished the postseason with 10 wins in its last 11 games.

If Vancouver can’t regroup in the next 48 hours after another East Coast collapse, the Canucks will waste

the best regular season in franchise history. Vancouver lost Game 7 of the 1994 finals to Mark Messier’s New York Rangers, and hadn’t been back to the finals since.

Vancouver probably could tell Game 6 was trouble from the opening shift: Second-line forward Mason Raymond was taken to a hospital with an undisclosed injury after he ran into the boards backward and bent at the waist in a collision with Boston defenseman Johnny Boychuk. The Canucks gave no immediate details on his injury or condition.

Luongo immediately appeared shaky when Marchand whistled a shot over his left shoulder just 5½ minutes in. Lucic scored 35 seconds later when his innocent shot trickled through Luongo, and Ference finished the goalie with a power-play score 2:29 after that.

A dream school, for some Many people are self-proclaimed experts in education and believe that school vouchers, the abolition of tenure, school prayer, corporal punishment, school privatization, school uniforms, nationalism, creationism, standardized testing, merit pay and corporate control are the solutions to the problems in education. As usual, their opinions are stronger than the evidence to support these ideas. These people have a vision of education that can best captured in what may be their dream school.

In this column I have synthesized their ideas using hyperbole to dramatize points. Various elements of this dream school currently exist in some schools but perhaps no school embodies all the characteristics described.

Above the entrance to this dream school would be three slogans: Conformity is freedom; Dissent is treason; Leave your diversity at the door.

On entering this school, students of color would be directed to a table that has jars with special cream for whitening the skin. This would be required for all nonwhite students because race smacks of diversity and to really have a melting pot, everyone must look the same. In each classroom there would be an American flag as big as the ones flown at many auto dealers. It would virtually cover one entire wall. Students, teachers and staff would also have to wear flag lapel pins and there would be a sign on the wall reminding everyone that if they suddenly don’t remember what country they are in, they can just look at their flag pin. The pledge of allegiance would be required, and if anyone failed to stand or recite it correctly, that person would be severely disciplined – even the first grader who thinks that part of the pledge says “Richard stands one naked individual”. Ignorance of the rule is no excuse. God would be omnipresent in this school with crosses hanging everywhere. A morning Christian prayer would be said and God help those Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists and agnostics who failed to say it out loud with the rest of the class.

God’s presence would be further felt by the burning of science books and their replacement by creationism texts. Jesus’ picture would be on the wall in every classroom next to and slightly below a picture of former actor, Ronald Reagan.

The desks in this classroom would be in straight rows and bolted to the floor to prevent children from expressing an impulse to cooperate with each other. Everyone would be on the same page at the same time on an worksheets which would be a main activity while memorization would be the primary learning strategy. Thinking of any kind would be deemed subversive. Art would involve coloring within the lines

and music would focus on religious and military songs and for writing recruitment jingles. There would be no teachers’ union and the teachers would not be certified but just have a high school diploma. There would be no tenure and no due process for firing a teacher. Teachers could be fired in the middle of a sentence on the whim of the principal. Teachers would also be required to sign loyalty oaths.

Corporal punishment would be the major form of discipline at this school and it would be required of every teacher to hang a paddle in the classroom because a beating in class would have much greater power than one given in the principal’s office where other children couldn’t see it. While bullying would not be allowed at this school, it would be overlooked if the targets were suspected homosexuals or members of a minority group.

This school would be financed by taxpayers through a voucher system.

Also, it would have a corporate sponsor who would make all hiring and firing decisions. The product this company sells would be pasted on school buses and in the hallways of the school. No-bid contracts would be the rule for school materials.

This school would also have a military sponsor and JROTC would be extended down to first grade with all children wearing the uniform of the military branch sponsor. Marching for gym credit would be a major course of study and periodically the children would be treated to a military simulation such as soldiers climbing down on ropes from a helicopter. Such displays would be intended to promote patriotism and help direct children toward military careers because perpetual war needs a steady supply of soldiers.

Children in this school would be encouraged to greet each other in the hallways with slogans such as “live free or die” and “God is great.” Political correctness would be banned at this school so it would be okay to utter such terms as “fag”, “nigger”, “towel head”, “gook”, “chink”, “spic”, etc.

The course of studies would erase all references to slavery, the decimation of native American Indians, preemptive war, the incarceration of Japanese Americans, the United Nations, etc. The United States would be portrayed as the savior of the world, a supporter of freedom and a land where poor people choose to be poor and where the rich are divinely ordained. The religious emphasis would be on the prosperity ministry and it would be taught that God drives a Cadillac. The manger and the wise men would not be mentioned. Sports would be emphasized at this school and huge TV monitors would be set up in each classroom to watch reruns of games or live ones. see next page

LETTERS Obama administration is taking oil price advice from head of GM To the editor, Elevated oil prices cause the price of many consumer goods to rise as well as driving up transportation and utility costs. This will slow the pace of recovery... if you buy into the assertion that we are in the midst of a recovery.

The price of Brent Blend crude rose to US$126/barrel in late April. That was following particularly sharp increases since mid-February. The named cause was the political upheaval in the Middle East. That disruption is ongoing. Further, no end is in sight and no actions are announced which lead one to think there will be one.

The US benchmark, West Texas Intermediate, has been trading at about US$10-15/b less than Brent.

Each US $10/barrel rise in the price of oil, if sustained for a year, shaves about 0.2 percentage points from GDP growth. Global oil prices dropped sharply, which means by around US $12-13/barrel, in the first two weeks of May. Investors have become more risk-averse. They have cut their positions in stretched commodity markets, including oil. It is unclear how much further oil prices have to fall.

Demand has been declining this year as prices have risen. Consumption continues to climb in emerging mar-

kets. Expect prices to slip further as more of the risk premium dissipates, but prices will remain elevated. The expected average annual forecast for dated Brent this month to US $108.50/ barrel, which implies a 36-percent rise over the average for 2010.

If you do the math that means the drag on the economy from oil is going to be about .8-percent. Given the expected growth rate is about 2.7-percent, with a drag of .8-percent the best case growth rate is now 1.9-percent.

Did you know that the only year in the last four with a growth rate as high as 1.9-percent was last year and the only reason it appears that last year was a rousing success is the influx of Obama dollars and the monetization of the debt?

There may be other ways to handle the economy. The current administration is taking advice from the head of GM, who thinks it would be a good thing if oil prices went up at least another dollar. The energy secretary supports driving the cost of gasoline to about $7.50. That advice might help a bailed out GM sell Volts will not do good things for the rest of us. Vote early. Vote often.

I urge all Gilford taxpayers & voters to attend meeting on 21st To the editor, The existing rift between the Gilford School Board, which supports a more costly superintendent form of administration, and the majority of the Gilford voters, who support a less costly administrator style of organization, continues. Then there are those who extol inflammatory remarks about the board giving in to “right wingers”. In my opinion, I doubt the 400 plus voters — including myself — who voted in the affirmative to make a change in the way the school district is administered are “right wingers”. A better term would be cost-conscious citizens. I have remarked in earlier writings, the school board vision as it pertains to honoring the voters’ wishes on Warrant Article IV is clearly myopic and an act of unmitigated hubris, but that opinion is supported

by the overwhelming vote of March 8th that indeed calls for a change.

Whatever one may think, the school board has now agreed subsequent to a petition signed by 70 or more voters, to hold a school district meeting. The petition clearly states: “the meeting is to discuss the legal reasoning pertinent to the applicable statute that the school board used, in justifying their refusal to obey the requirements of Warrant Article IV by the voters, which called for the district to be supervised by a school administrator instead of a superintendent of schools as so provided by RSA 194-C: 4”.

The school board will now hold a hearing June 21st at 7 p.m. in the High School Auditorium. I urge all taxpayers, and voters to attend.

LETTERS Parental notification law will put small number of girls at greater risk To the editor, In Mr. Mead’s recent letter (6/11) about the parental notification bill currently awaiting the governor’s action, he mistakenly characterizes the bill as one focused on “parental responsibility.”

In fact, the opposite it true. Opponents of this legislation know that the vast majority of teen girls facing this horrendous decision can and do discuss their options with their parents.

But there is a small minority — the girls this legislation will hurt — for whom talking to their parents is literally dangerous. What this legislation will do if it becomes law is put those teens at risk of even greater abuse by their parents.

Even worse, this bill makes no exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Again most parents are there to support their daughters after either of these heinous crimes, but if the parent is the perpetrator, then how likely is that teen to be willing to discuss her options?

This bill does not encourage good parent-child communication; its aim is to decrease the number of abortions that occur. But instead of supporting legislation that is clear about that goal, supporters are hiding behind “parental rights” and, in so doing, putting a small, vulnerable population of teen girls at even greater risk for harm.

The Freedom Ride and Vigil in Hesky Park don’t cost a nickel To the editor, With the word that, economically, Motorcycle Week is no longer just “Laconia Bike Week” but “NH Bike Week” there is one event that continues to grow and gather a larger crowd and more bikes and doesn’t cost a nickel, and that is the yearly POW/ MIA Awareness Vigil in Hesky Park, Meredith and the ‘Freedom Ride’ that starts in Lowe’s parking lot in Gilford for the Ride to “The Rock” in Meredith for the POW/MIA Awareness Vigil on Thursday, June 16 at 7 p.m.

This is the 23rd Anniversary of the Thursday evening POW/MIA Vigil and 18th Anniversary of the Freedom Ride. Fact is, we/America have

a POW being held in Iraq this day (Ahmed Alatie), and in Afghanistan (Bowe Bergdhal). You may not know this FACT because the Department of Defense chooses to use terminology other than “POW/MIA”. Why should we hide these American soldiers?

If truth matters, become involved. If faith and trust are important, become involved. All points from N.H. lead to “The Rock” at Hesky Park, Meredith” — the State’s Original POW/MIA Memorial. A N.H. Gold Star Father will speak to this issue.

Why aren’t Laconia businesses flying the Stars & Stripes?

To the editor, Where have all the American flags gone?

As a resident of Laconia, I travel on Union Ave., from Messer Street to the city line, at least twice a day. I am disturbed to find very few American flags flown by the businesses in that area of the city. Maybe my perception is incor-

rect, but I feel that our pride in being an American is waning. Some businesses have “open” flags and one even has two “open” flags but no American flag.

Maybe someone can explain this phenomenon?

from preceding page All channels would be set on Fox News from which children would learn current events.

Since competition would be highly valued in this school there would be beauty contests, spelling bees, and all kinds of events for students to show their superiority over others, and there would be no choice about participation. Children would carry guns beginning in first grade. The younger children would carry 22-caliber derringers while the older kids would tote 357-magnums or 9-millimeter Glocks.

Of course, all would be required to get firearms training which would be a regular subject taught by the NRA — another school sponsor.

Another sign that would hang in the school would be “Galileo was wrong. The earth is the center of the universe”. Controversial topics, critical thinking, creativity, conflict resolution, cooperative learning, service learning, media literacy, peace education, and parental education and involvement would all be banned in this school because they are distrac-

tions from basic skills. The business model of education would be the guiding philosophy of education. With that, recess would be eliminated because it takes time off task. Merit pay would be used to reward “good” teachers and the principal alone would make these decisions. The principal would be a male and a retired corporate CEO or military officer with a no-nonsense, bottom line approach to education.

Children at this school would be tested every week with a standardized test and those who failed to show progress would result in the immediate replacement of the teacher. A testing company would also be a school sponsor. Logos of businesses would be everywhere in this school. Children would no longer be called students.

Collectively they would be called “childsumers” and individually they would be referred to by a number.

For some, this dream school is a nightmare.

OBAMA from page 2 to be followed by fundraising stops in Miami later Monday, illustrated the political high stakes for Obama. By focusing on jobs, Obama provided a counterpoint to his Republican critics, particularly the seven 2012 presidential hopefuls who were meeting in New Hampshire Monday evening for a debate where they were sure to draw sharp contrasts with Obama’s approach on the economy.

“Today, the single most serious economic problem we face is getting people back to work,” the president said. “We stabilized the economy, we prevented a financial meltdown, and an economy that was shrinking is now growing. ... But, I’m still not satisfied. I will not be satisfied until everyone who wants

a good job that offers some security has a good job that offers security.”

The stop in North Carolina was the first in a twoday trip with major political implications. Obama was attending three fundraisers later Monday in Miami, burnishing his profile in the crucial battleground of Florida. On Tuesday he planned a rendezvous with an important Hispanic constituency on the island of Puerto Rico. Voters of Puerto Rican descent make up a significant bloc in Florida.

Eager to rekindle enthusiasm for his presidency, Obama told political donors that “big changes don’t happen overnight” as he tapped low- and high-dollar contributors in Miami.

Obama spoke to 80 wealthy supporters who paid

SALOON from page one were trying to reach an accord that would allow her to tear down the charred remains of the Landmark Weirs Beach motel and restaurant next week, after bike week has ended. She said Friday that she didn’t think it was safe to tear it down with all of the people, vendors and motorcycles so close during bike week.

Business interests in the Weirs have been open about their feeling that Baldi has had well enough time to do something about the building that was gutted in September of 2010 they consider an eye sore and the city’s action was largely is response to their complaints.

After hearing from both sides, Carroll ruled the city had upheld it’s argument that the building was dangerous and must be demolished on or before June 14 — notwithstanding bike week or any other

holiday or traffic issue.

When asked if the city — or Baldi for that matter — had the right to negotiate a change to sitting judge’s order, Reynolds said she wasn’t sure they did.

As of 4 p.m. Monday, no motion to change Carroll’s order had been filed in Laconia District Court nor had any appeal paperwork been filed with the Belknap County Superior Court.

As to the conditions Baldi agreed to, if any, during the legal wrangling, to get the city on board with the extension request, Reynolds said she was not part of the negotiations, that she left that part to the Planning and Code Enforcement Departments, and her approval was only needed to agree to an extension.

City Planner Shanna Saunders said in an e-mail yesterday afternoon that she didn’t know if the agreement had been finalized by both sides.

Baldi couldn’t be reached for comment.

$10,000 each to meet him at the home of former Samsonite CEO Steve Green, who was ambassador to Singapore under President Bill Clinton. Obama also attended a fundraiser at the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, where about 900 supporters awaited him. A third, more intimate event attracted about 40 donors who paid the maximum allowed, $35,800.

The money raised goes to the Obama Victory Fund 2012, which splits the proceeds between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

At the Arsht Center, a member of the audience stood and shouted, “Keep your promise, stop AIDs now!” before the crowd drowned him out with cheers of “Obama, Obama!”

Obama seemed to acknowledge the complaint, saying, “The reason we’re here today is because our work is not done.”

The Republican debate in New Hampshire was not even under way when Republicans dismissed Obama’s efforts on the economy.

“Photo-ops with business leaders only reinforce that no one in this administration has ideas to create the private sector jobs our economy desperately needs,” said Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Before his remarks to workers at Cree Inc., the president met with his jobs council, a group headed

by General Electric chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt.

The group aired concerns about everything from difficulty getting small-business loans to regulatory burdens on airlines, and the president pledged to do what he could to help as his administration aims to breathe life into the faltering economic recovery.

BAGS from page 2 of higher airfares and packed planes.

“I feel like I am constantly being hit by little things by the airlines,” said Lauren DiMarco, a stay-at-home mother from Wenham, Mass.

“We’re already paying so much money.”

Delta generated the most revenue from bag fees — $952 million — followed by the combined United and Continental at nearly $655 million. American collected $580 million and US Airways $513 million, according to the Department of Transportation. None of those fees are subject to taxes.

Airlines aggressively raised ticket prices early in the year. But those increases couldn’t keep up with the price of jet fuel, now 37 percent more than last year. Some more recent attempts to raise fares have failed because passengers balked at paying more.

So instead, the airlines focus on fees.

“Unfortunately, for the airlines when they try to roll $50 into the ticket prices, people stop buying tickets,” said Rick Seaney CEO of FareCompare.com.

LETTERS Laconia teachers’ contract should serve as model for Inter-Lakes To the editor, On June 7, the Laconia Education Association and the Laconia School Board together reached a collective bargaining agreement that is not only being described as groundbreaking, but was also overwhelmingly approved by union members. Critical to this agreement is a change in the health care plan provided to members. By moving all members to the Open Access Plus Insurance Plan provided by Cigna, the Laconia School District will save $600,000 for each year of the contract.

This health care plan has a higher deductible with dramatically lower premiums, and comes with two additional benefits for the members. Previously, the Laconia School District paid 90-percent of each plan’s cost, but in the new agreement, the district pays 100-percent. Additionally, the entire $600,000 annual savings to the district is being returned to members in the form of a stipend or a deposit into a Health Savings Account in the member’s name. The combination of these benefits alone will increase the compensation to members roughly $3,000 to $4,600 a year depending upon whether the members have a

family, a couples, or a single plan.

The new contract also stipulates no salary step increases or cost-of-living increases over the two-year contract period, which collectively saves the school district $1,500,000. The fact that Laconia will see no increase in their health care cost from last year to this year, compared to the more than 10-percent annual increases that have been seen over the past number of years, equals a yearly savings of $450,000 to $500,000.

This is exactly the kind of health care change for which I was advocating while running for the Inter-Lakes School Board earlier this year. It is a perfect example of how to re-slice the budget pie where everyone wins — the teachers, the students and the taxpayers. This agreement should serve as a blueprint for the Inter-Lakes School Board in their current negotiations with the Inter-Lakes Education Association and the ILSSEA. I will certainly be one of the many residents in this school district watching closely to see how well our school board represents its constituents.

Northfield has 3 seats on school budget committee & all are empty To the editor, At $21.34, Northfield has the highest overall tax rate among the three towns comprising the Winnisquam Regional School District. At $11.57, Northfield has the highest school portion of the tax rate, compared to the other two towns, also. At 43-percent, Northfield has the highest percentage of the allocation of shared costs and Northfield has the most students in the WRSD. Simply stated, Northfield has the most to lose with each additional dollar the district appropriates or each additional dollar the state reduces its funding to education.

The WRSD Budget Committee has three seats available for Northfield’s Representation and yet all three are currently vacant. Where are the people from Northfield that complain about their taxes at the March School District Meeting? Why doesn’t someone from Northfield step up and become a Budget Committee member?

Please get involved in your school and take an interest in your taxes.

Contact the WRSD Budget Committee at 433 West Main St. Tilton by June 20th.

We need to slow down technology, it’s all happening too fast To the editor, Why are powerful men in the government doing this sexting? Do they think for one minute they will never be caught? Mr. Weiner is just one of many who are in office that are suppose to protect America. I guess not.

If they can’t control themselves how in hell can they do anything for the American people?

That is all we are hearing with them.

It is sex or they are steeling. It brings to mind how much we can’t trust any POLITICIAN anymore. They say they

did not do anything wrong and then they end up saying they did. This is all crazy!

So now what is coming next? Technology is great! It is too bad when it is used in such a way to cause damage to people everywhere. It is all happening too fast. Slow down technology before it destroys a bunch of things in our lives. Stayed tuned for another episode of which politician will be next on the news coming your way soon!

I questions professionalism of remark attributed to Mr. Stewart To the editor, If the quotes in Saturday’s Sun attributed to Bill Stewart, Laconia’s code enforcement official, are accurate, the gentleman seems also to have a problem with professionalism.

I have never been to Arkansas or Mississippi, however I have been putting the interests of my customers foremost for over 30 years and I am not one of a select few. The builders,contractors and tradesmen in Laconia are for the most part ethical, honest, quality and

safety minded. We do not stay in business by doing sub-standard work.

I do not know who Bill Stewart’s boss is, but if he worked for me I would not want him putting out to the press that Laconia’s housing is sub-standard and that a large sector of those who work honestly to pay his salary are “cutting corners on safety”.

see BLUES page 1 the first year was rocky, he hasn’t looked back and now the success of his band Michael Vincent and Doubleshot seems to have the inevitability of an accelerating locomotive. Although the band spends most of its year touring in the South, the Doubleshot train is currently on a detour back to the Lakes Region, where they’re playing a series of gigs where Vincent and bass player Dan Jackson got their first chance to take a stage – Bike Week.

Michael Vincent and Doubleshot played at Laconia Harley-Davidson in Meredith on Monday night.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the band will play at noon at the Roadhouse at the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound. On Wednesday night, if they don’t get pushed out by a possible game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals, the band is scheduled to play at Shooter’s Tavern in Belmont.

“Living around here, that’s what opened up as a venue,” Jackson recalled. He and Vincent were only about 13 when they played their first Bike Week gig.

Throughout his high school years, Vincent’s notoriety grew, drawing comparisons to guitar legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix from enthusiastic supporters.

Vincent and Jackson both graduated from Gilford High School in 2009. While Vincent struck out for the Gulf Coast, Jackson made the sensible decision to attend college. After a year, Jackson visited Vincent and realized which had made the right decision.

“I kind of fell in love with it – you got to play music, and you didn’t have to do schoolwork.”

Vincent said his first year in Gulfport was “really hard – it was hard to find the right people.” But by the time Jackson arrived, the current trio of Michael Vincent and Doubleshot was completed. Vincent and Jackson, the fresh faces from New Hampshire, were backed by veteran drummer Rick “the Stick” Bond.

Occasionally they are joined by singer Shannon Bond, Rick’s wife.

They play hard-hitting blues, original songs as well as covering the greatest blues musicians of eras past. To achieve an authentic sound, they eschew modern electronics for Fender Stratocasters and tube-powered amplifiers. “We hammer, we blow the roof off,” said Vincent.

Bond, who has about 35 years of experience in the southern blues circuit, said he knew from the first time playing with Vincent that the kid was worth his effort. Bond’s role extends beyond the drum kit, using his experience and networking abilities to take the band as far as their talents will allow. As he said, “I’m the bus driver, they just have to hang on.”

He called it “rejuvenating” to play with musicians less than half his age. “It makes me proud to play

with accomplished musicians at such a young age.”

After two years in Gulfport, Vincent is right where he wanted to be when he set out from Gilford after high school. Unlike in the Lakes Region, they can play every night of the week, every week of the year, in the city they live in. They’ve played in New Orleans and all along the Gulf Coast. They’ve played at Ground Zero, the club owned by Morgan Freeman in Clarksdale, Miss., the town where the blues is considered to have been born. Management at that club was impressed by the band, apparently, and is in discussions with them to establish a regular relationship.

Ground Zero managers aren’t the only people taking notice. Terry Kane, a former sound engineer for ZZ Top, wants to get them into the studio to record an album later this year. Next month, the band will sign with an agent who promises to book

them gigs that will earn them twice as much as they’re making now.

As much as they are excited by future prospects, they know that the most important thing for them to do now is refine their sound. Jackson and Vincent are improving their singing and they continue to work on their collective songwriting. “We know that we’re learning, that we’re not expecting to go anywhere great too fast,” said Vincent.

Walking onto a stage with a couple of 20 year-olds from New Hampshire, Doubleshot gets little regard when they prepare to play in front of an unfamiliar audience. Watching the jaws drop once the music starts is half the fun of being in the band, said Bond.

“After the first set, it’s a completely different attitude,” he said. “When we break out the old blues, the see next page

City Council quickly endorses 2-year deal agreed to by Laconia school employees

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The City Council last night unanimously approved the collective bargaining agreements negotiated between the School Board and the three unions representing employees of the School District — the Laconia Education Association, Laconia Association of Support Staff and Educational Assistants of Laconia.

The two-year agreements ratified by the unions freeze salaries and wages at their current levels, providing for neither cost of living or so-called step increases on salary scales between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2013.

Employees accepted changes in their health insurance plans, which will reduce the cost to the school from preceding page old Hendrix, it freaks them out.”

When the sound of dozens of conversations stops, they know they have earned the audience’s attention. And when the set is over, they’ve done their job if they hear their most common, and favorite, compliment: “We haven’t heard a band like that in a long time.”

district by $600,000 by increasing deductibles, co-insurance and prescription costs. To offset the higher out-of-pocket costs to employees, a portion of the savings takes the form of a health insurance adjustment stipend, which provides $2,000 toward

the family plan, $1,600 toward the two-person plan and $1,200 toward the single plan.

Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) congratulated the School Board and the employees on reaching agreements in the best interests of taxpayers.

There was no discussion.

None of the four unions representing city workers have agreed to contract terms beyond July 1 of this year and two on the unions — police and firefighters — have been working without a contract for nearly a year.

AFRICA from page 2 sion against Gadhafi to increase the pressure on him to leave power and increase their contacts with the Transitional National Council.

After stops in Zambia and Tanzania, she was to have spent Monday night in Addis Ababa. But she was forced to leave the Ethiopian capital a day ahead of schedule when a volcano eruption in nearby Eritrea sent an ash cloud over parts of East Africa.

Officials said the airport in Ethiopia’s capital was to be closed, and Clinton faced being stranded if she had proceeded with her planned events.

Although Clinton departed earlier than planned, she should not arrive in Washington ahead of her scheduled Wednesday arrival time because she’ll have a long layover in Europe.

The timing of Clinton’s return is being closely watched because her traveling party includes senior aide Huma Abedin. Abedin is the wife of embattled New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, who is facing calls to resign because of sexually-charged messages and photos he sent to several women online. Weiner reportedly wants to speak with his wife before making a decision on stepping down.

In Ethiopia, Clinton acknowledged that Gadhafi’s “major role in providing financial support for many African nations and institutions, including the African Union.” But she said it has become clear in light of his abuses that he cannot remain in power.

All African leaders should demand

that Gadhafi accept a ceasefire and then leave Libya, she said. They should expel pro-Gadhafi Libyan diplomats from their countries, suspend the operations of Libyan embassies and work with the Libyan opposition.

Since seizing power in Libya in 1969, Gadhafi has offered training, funding and other support for African rebel groups, including the African National Congress as it fought white minority rule in South Africa. Buoyed by oil money, he also paid the membership dues of many smaller, poorer countries at the United Nations, African Union and other international bodies — winning himself a cast of supporters even as he fancied himself the continent’s “king of kings.”

LACONIA — A city man was ordered held on a total of $30,000 cash bail after allegedly beating and choking his girlfriend on two days last week.

Michael Schwarz, 27, of 1028 North Main St. appeared in Laconia District Court yesterday morning and is charged with three counts of felony second degree assault, three counts of misdemeanor simple assault, four misdemeanor counts of violating a restraining order, one count of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon (brass knuckles), one misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest, and one felony charge of criminal threatening with a deadly weapon (a knife).

Police affidavits indicate Schwarz was served with a restraining order against contact with the victim on June 2.

Police allege the Schwarz was driving in a car with the victim between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on June 4 when he allegedly punched her in the head, ear, back and ribs with a closed fist.

Schwarz allegedly drive behind Kingdom Hall on Blueberry Lane and punched and choked her, but the victim said she was still able to breathe.

On June 6, police allege the two were in the victim’s home when he choked her “for a long period of time and she couldn’t breathe.”

He allegedly hit her in the head, back, stomach,

ribs, chest, jaw, throat, neck and arms after she went downstairs following the alleged choking. Police say he threatened her with a knife.

On June 10, the two allegedly went to the Big Apple convenience store on Union Avenue from where she called police because Schwarz allegedly took some money from her vehicle.

The police complaint alleges on June 12 Schwarz ran from a city police sergeant on Meredith Center Road, refusing to go with him.

The date of the felony complaint for being a felon in possession of brass knuckles is the same date of the alleged resisting arrest. Police paperwork indicates Schwarz was convicted on burglary on April 19 in Merrimack County Superior Court.

Arresting officers said the victim had “extensive bruising” on her left temple, left cheek, right temple, upper right arm, behind left ear, left bicep, left tricep, left forearm, right forearm, right arm pit, and left rear rib cage. Police also said she had a bite mark above her left arm pit.

Judge Jim Carroll said that if Schwarz posts bail he shall stay with a relative in Hampton, N.H., not come to Belknap County unless on official police or court business and report daily to the Hampton Police.

Carroll also said he could have supervised visits with his children in Belknap County in a secure facility.

Laconia store clerk robbed at knife point

LACONIA — City police continue to ask the public’s help identifying and locating the man who robbed the Belknap Gas and Convenience Store at the intersection of Union Ave. and Gilford Ave. on Saturday afternoon.

Police said the man entered the store at 4:50 p.m., threatened the store employee with a knife and stole an undisclosed

amount of cash from the register.

He is described as being as wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a blue bandana covering his face.

No one was injured.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

WEINER from page 2 their mortgages, and paying the bills, then you should probably step back.”

Weiner spokeswoman Risa Heller had no comment on Obama’s remarks.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for Weiner to quit, as have several other Democrats including party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The House Ethics Committee on Monday began a preliminary inquiry that could bloom into a full investigation if Weiner, a New York Democrat, ignores calls to resign.

House officials told The Associated Press that the ethics inquiry is not yet extensive, and committee leaders have not indicated whether they will order a more intensive staff investigation. The officials requested anonymity because the committee has not announced the staff inquiry.

If Weiner did resign, the committee would no longer have jurisdiction to investigate him. If he remained in Congress, Ethics Committee Chairman Jo Bonner of Alabama and ranking Democrat Linda Sanchez of California could name a four-member subcommittee to conduct a more thorough investigation.

That could lead to an ethics trial.

The Ethics Committee is not designed as a quick-reaction force when a scandal erupts. An investigation could last months, even longer, if the case became legally complicated.

Motorcycle hits deer in downtown Laconia In a first for the police and rescue personnel that responded to the incident, a motorcyclist struck a deer on Union Avenue near the intersection of Baldwin Street. Shown here, Joshua Latuch of Laconia calls a friend to collect the deer carcass for butchering. Latuch was driving his Harley-Davidson Sportster north on Union Avenue when he said the deer appeared in front of him, coming from his left (Stewart Park). “I didn’t see it, it came across traffic, and, poof!” Latuch’s motorcycle sustained minor damage and he suffered scrapes to his left hand and arm. Laconia Fire Captain Bob Landry put down the deer, a 50-pound doe, by cutting its throat on the sidewalk, which he said was necessary due to the animal’s internal injuries and broken legs. “The best thing to do was euthanize it,” he said.

Legislature orders state to pay JUA policy holders

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Both the Senate and the House have adopted legilsation ordering the board of directors of the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA) to return all surplus funds to the policyholders.

The legislation could bring to a close more than two years of controversy and litigation stemming from Governor John Lynch’s effort to transfer $110-million from the JUA to the general fund to balance the 2009-2011 state budget. The policyholders contested the state’s claim to the funds, to which they insisted they were entitled, and ultimately the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled in their favor.

Ever since attorneys for the state have insisted that if the JUA distributed surplus funds to policyholders, it would forfeit its tax-exempt status and risk

incurring a tax liability equal to its entire surplus.

Senate Bill 170 requires the JUA to calculate its surplus beyond the funds necessary “to remain actuarially sound,” which shall not be less than $110-million, the amount to which the state initially laid claim. Within 60 days of the effective date of the legislation, the surplus, save for $25-million held in reserve against any federal tax liability, would be placed in the hands of Merrimack County Superior Court, where the claims of policyholders would be adjudicated. Any distribution to policyholders would be subject to a claim by the JUA to satisfy any tax liabilities above $25-million.

The bill further directs the Insurance Commissioner and a representative of the policyholders to jointly approach the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to determine any federal tax liability see next page

Pair of fresh faces elected to board of New Hampshire Electric Cooperative

PLYMOUTH – Two newcomers and one incumbent won seats on the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) Board of Directors, company officials announced June 8 at the 72nd Annual Meeting of Members.

Returning to the board for a threeyear term is Harry Viens of Center Harbor. He will be joined by two new members – Joan Aubrey of Jackson and Bruce Wiggett of Plymouth. (See complete election results below) Board members were elected

by NHEC members, who cast ballots annually to fill seats on the 11-member Board of Directors. NHEC is a democratically-controlled cooperative. Anyone receiving electric service from NHEC is eligible to vote.

This year, more than 8,700 members cast ballots. from preceding page

Although she did not win re-election to the Board, Gail Paine of Intervale was honored at the Annual Meeting for her 30 years of dedicated service to NHEC and the electric cooperative industry nationwide. Also honored was Chip Kimball of Sandwich, who is stepping down from the board due to term limit requirements after 15 years of service.

Founded in 1939, NHEC is a nonprofit electric distribution cooperative serving 80,000 members in 115 New Hampshire communities.

New Hampshire Electric Cooperative 2011 Board of Directors Election Results (3-year terms): Joan Aubrey (Jackson) 6,425; Harry Viens (Center Harbor) 6,023; Bruce Wiggett (Plymouth) 5,904; Gail Paine (Intervale) 4,825.

arising from the distribution of excess funds to the policyholders. Within the 30 days of reaching agreement with the IRS, the board of the JUA would begin adjudicating the claims of policyholders in Merrimack County Superior Court.

Senate Bill 170 carried the Senate by the overwhelming majority of 23 to 1 and was twice amended by the House, where it ultimately adopted by a voice vote. Last week, the Senate,

also by voice vote, concurred with the House version of the bill. The majorities in both chambers far exceed the two-thirds required to override a veto by the governor.

The legislation will now be sent to the governor, who has steadfastly insisted that the courts erred and the state is entitled to the money. Colin Manning, the governor’s spokesperson, said that for the moment Lynch is devoting his attention and energy to the budget negotiations.

LACONIA from page 1 (Property tax caps were declared unconstitutional by a 2010 N.H. Supreme Court decision involving the City of Manchester but the new Republican majority in the Legislature has pushed through a bill legitimizing them, apparantly retroactively.

That legislation has yet to be signed into law by Gov. John Lynch.)

“If we don’t take something this year,” said Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), a member of the Finance Subcommittee, “with more downshifting in future years it will just snowball and get worse. I think we have to use some of the tax cap (space).”

Hamel was alluding to the fact that without raising taxes this year,

the base from which to calculate the increase permitted by the tax cap next year would remain flat, making the task of staying within the cap that much more difficult in out years.

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), who has followed the state budget process closely, suggested that lawmakers were likely to transfer more expenses or withhold more revenues from municipalities to overcome deficits next year and the year after.

“Things may be even worse then,” he said.

Reynolds estimated that raising property taxes to overcome the projected deficit would add 17 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to the current tax rate of $19.81.

‘On Golden Pond’ directed for first time by Oscar®-winning author Ernest Thompson opening at Little Church Theater on June 21 HOLDERNESS — For the first time, Academy Award®-winning author Ernest Thompson will direct a stage production of “On Golden Pond” at The Little Church Theater, opening Tuesday, June 21.

This landmark event will feature the world premiere of a brand new recording from musical legend Carly Simon, “The Father Daughter Dance,” created

by Simon, Thompson, and Joe Deleault.

The Little Church Theater is a private non-profit center for creativity on the banks of Squam Lake, where the famous movie was filmed. The Whitebridge Farm Production of “On Golden Pond” will mark the 30th anniversary of the movie and the 250th anniversary of Holderness.

Featuring professional actors, “On Golden Pond” will run for 32 performances — from Tuesday, June, 21 — Sunday, July 3; and again from Tuesday, August 23 — Sunday, September 4. Performances will begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and 8 p.m. Wednesdays — Saturdays. Matinees are available at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

“When I hear Carly’s (Simon) voice in ‘The Father Daughter Dance,’ the new song created for this production, it makes me weep every time,” said Lori Gigliotti Murphy who plays Chelsea, the daughter who returns to the family summer home after being away for eight years. The rest of the professional cast includes Frank Wells as Norman; Vinette Cotter as his wife, Ethel; Morgan Murphy as Chelsea’s dentist boyfriend Bill; Kodiak Thompson as Billy, the son; and Joe Sampson as Charlie, the mailman.

“Golden Pond is very near wherever you are is one of the opening lines of the play and its universal message,” stated Thompson. “Everyone has a Golden Pond, an ideal, a fantasy, a home to go to, even if it’s only in a person’s dreams.”

Thompson has directed the successful musical version of “On Golden Pond” and the blockbuster television production starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, but this marks the first time that he’s directed the play that began his career 33 years ago.

Several special events with the author have been planned at the Theater, lakeside homes, and nearby businesses, and are available to the public. Tuesday night performances alternate from Opening Night Galas to a discussion with Thompson and the audience regarding directing the script. Thompson will address the audience about acting at each Wednes-

day night performance and writing at each Thursday night performance. He will discuss the process of moving the story from Broadway to Hollywood at each Friday evening performance. Each Saturday evening performance will begin with an optional cocktail party with Thompson at a lakeside home.

The Little Church Theater and this production of “On Golden Pond” are sponsored by generous supporters including Rusty McLear, Jodie Herbert, The Inns and Spa at Mill Falls, Paul & Warren Miller, Stonyfield Farm, Gary & Meg Hirshberg, Riveredge Marina, Walter’s Basin, Alex Ray, the Common Man Family of Restaurants, and the Squam Lakes Inn.

Roomful of Blues and Aztec Two-Step perform a weekend of favorites at The Flying Monkey

PLYMOUTH — Swinging, horn-filled Roomful of Blues and veteran folk rockers Aztec Two-Step will perform a weekend of favorite tunes at The Flying Monkey at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18 respectively.

On Friday night, Brooks Young Band will open for Roomful of Blues, whom the great Count Basie called “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.” An eightpiece powerhouse from Rhode Island, the group has long set the standard for top notch blues music.

Since its inception in 1968, several of the best blues musicians around have been a part of the legendary combo. Over the years they have established a deep and ever-changing repertoire, while maintaining their trademark mastery of many blues styles.

Roomful of Blues won the 2005 Blues Music Award for Blues Instrumentalist: Horns, and in 2004 they picked up both the coveted 2004 Blues Music Award for Band of the Year and the Blues Instrumentalist: Horns award. The founder of Roomful of Blues, guitar icon Duke Robillard, has achieved legendary status among guitar players in his career he later replaced guitarist Jimmy Vaughn in the Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Local phenom Brooks Young Band, recent focus of a NH Chronical special, will open the show with what Michael Whitthaus of The Hippo calls “a vin-

tage Rolling Stones feel.” Their rock and roll, guitardriven sound with a heart of blues has made them a crowd favorite at The Flying Monkey.

When Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman, the critically acclaimed duo Aztec Two-Step, burst on the scene in 1972 with their Elektra Records debut, they were reviewed as having the “intellectual lyricism” and “ethereal harmonies” of their legendary predecessors, Simon & Garfunkel. On Saturday, they will perform the Simon & Garfunkle Songbook.

Renowned for bringing the folk/rock music of the 1960s into the ‘70s and beyond, Aztec TwoStep continues to be one of acoustic music’s most respected and enduring acts. As the folk-rock duo celebrates their 40th Anniversary, Aztec Two-Step still impresses audiences with intelligent songwriting, dazzling acoustic lead guitar, and inspiring harmonies.

Tickets to the Roomful of Blues performance are $19 for select Orchestra seats and table sections.

Tickets to the Aztec Two-Step Performance are $25 for select Orchestra seats and table sections. Tickets can be purchased online at www.flyingmonkeynh. com or by calling the box office at 536-2551.

Dinner is available from 6 — 7 p.m. at an additional charge. Advanced reservations for the dining section are required. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Residents & visitors urged to leave loons undisturbed

MOULTONBOROUGH — With loons beginning to nest on lakes and ponds throughout the state, New Hampshire residents and visitors are urged to give them plenty of space.

Staying back at least 150 feet from a nesting loon — or more if the loon shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over the nest — is encouraged by the Loon Preservation Committee. Although they may appear to be sleeping, injured, or dead while in this head-down position, the posture is actually a response to the close approach of people.

Anyone who inadvertently causes a loon to flush from the nest should leave the area immediately to let the loon return to incubate its eggs. Time off the nest leaves the eggs vulnerable to cooling, overheating, or predation.

In 2010, 41 percent of loon nests failed, many due

to human disturbance. Studies indicate that a minimum breeding success rate of 0.48 surviving chicks per loon pair is needed to maintain the loon population over the long term, but New Hampshire’s loons have not achieved that level of breeding success in the past five years. They came close in 2010, thanks to a record number of floating nest rafts and protective signs floated by Loon Preservation Committee staff and volunteers. LPC biologists are hoping for a better breeding season this year for the state-threatened loon population, and are working to encourage that result through increased management and outreach to protect loons throughout the state.

To learn more about loons in New Hampshire, visit www.loon.org or call the Loon Preservation Committee at 476-LOON (5666).

Meredith Legion Post to conduct annual Flag Day event MEREDITH — The American Legion Post will conduct its annual Flag Day event in Hesky Park at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 14.

All are invited to witness this ceremony, during

which the Post will honorably burn old and retired American flags. Anyone interested in properly disposing of a flag is welcome to bring it to the event.

William A. Racine, 53 RUMNEY — William Allen Racine, 53, of Wheeler Lane, died June 10, 2001 at Speare Memorial Hospital, in Plymouth.

Born in Laconia on January 5, 1958, he was the son of Gordon E. and the late Eleanor (Royea) Racine.

William grew up in the Sandwich and Center Harbor area and then moved to Rumney, where he has resided most all his life. He attended InterLakes Schools and Plymouth Area High School.

He has worked as a self employed sheet rock contractor in the Pemi-Baker Area for over twenty

years.

He is survived by his father Gordon E. Racine, brother, Eric D Racine, sister, Tammy J. Joyce, all of Rumney, several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins and his father’s companion, Marie Bachaud of Rumney..

Calling hours will be held at the Mayhew Funeral Home, 12 Langdon St, Plymouth, on Wednesday 2 pm to 4 pm. A celebration of life will be held at William’s sister, Tammy’s home on School St. in Rumney, from 5 pm to 8 pm.

Reception for Center Sandwich printmaker Margaret Merrit to be held at UNH School of Law CONCORD — A reception for Center Sandwich printmaker Margaret Merritt will be held at the UNH School of Law, from 5 — 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 16.

“Impressions,” an exhibit of the artist’s most recent work, is currently on view at the University through August 25.

Merritt has worked as a chemist in industry and academia for more than 40 years. She retired from the Wellesley College faculty in 2002 to pursue studio work in print and paper making. Merritt first studied intaglio printmaking at the Kalamazoo (MI) Institute of Art in the 1970s and Japanese hand papermaking at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1998. She makes her prints primarily by

intaglio techniques in which the image for the print is incised into the surface of a hard plate. An etching press is used to transfer ink, rubbed into these lines, to paper. Intaglio processes differ primarily in how the image is cut into the printing plates.

“To introduce color and depth, I overprint plates with different inks and incorporate my own thin Asian-style paper into the prints,” explained Merritt. “I also combine intaglio plates with Japanese wood blocks and my own paper for some of my work.”

The public is welcome to attend the reception for the artist. The exhibit is open to the public free of charge during library hours, most weekdays from 8 a.m. — 9 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. — 5:30 p.m. For more information, call UNH Law at 228-1541.

‘Halfway to Broadway,’ new community-style theatre company, presents first production on June 17 ANDOVER — Halfway to Broadway, a new community-style theatre company, will present its first production, “Moon Over Buffalo,” at the East Andover Grange Hall at 7:30 p.m. on June 17, 18, 23, 24, and 25.

Providing entertaining and affordable theatrical productions that celebrate the love of the arts and the commitment to reviving the passion of the stage, Halfway to Broadway’s production of Ken Ludwig’s comedy is the first undertaking by the group.

Directed by Jason Roy, “Moon Over Buffalo” is the farcical story of an acting couple and their troupe who are on tour in Buffalo, NY in 1953 with a rep-

ertory consisting of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Noël Coward’s “Private Lives.” Marital indiscretions, egos, and mistaken identities add to the inevitable, “anything that can go wrong does go wrong” philosophy of the play and make it a fast-paced laugh-fest.

The area-wide cast includes Bo Guyer from Sanbornton; Denise Steadman, Colin Malette, Courtney Carter, and Krystal Boynton from Franklin; Jason Roy from Andover; Howard Amsden from New Hampton; and Lynn Dadian from Meredith.

Tickets will be available at the door or by calling 998-4828. For more information, visit http://halfwaytobroadway.webs.com.

B.C.

by Dickenson & Clark

by Paul Gilligan

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone gets angry from time to time. It’s how you handle the emotion that matters. You will guide your aggressive impulses in extremely productive ways.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You have a strong social sense now. You know when it’s important to blend with the group and also when it’s better to stand out in the crowd. You’ll advance your interests as you apply this social savvy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You are so focused on your task that you do not waste any time worrying or even noticing whether people like you.

Well, they do. And the smarter they are the more they appreciate you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Include as many people as possible.

Your collaborative efforts will be the springboard that takes you to new places -- places you would not reach otherwise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You probably don’t realize how much your loved ones need your approval and support, and they don’t realize it, either.

But events today will prove that your loving gaze is a healing balm.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You deeply appreciate the small joys that loved ones bring to your life, and you will therefore be favored with a gigantic stroke of luck -- a birthday present from the universe. August brings a remarkable and unexpected turn of events.

Your personal life sparkles with the addition of new friends. You share a special connection with Capricorn and Virgo people. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 13, 37 and 12.

by Richard Thompson

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will succeed in your quest if it is a very simple one. Things have a way of getting overly complicated unless you are vigilant in your efforts to stay focused.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t always have to be the center of attention, which is why friends and family so thoroughly enjoy your presence. You have the perfect balance of give and take.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An effort to save money could lead to the opposite occurrence. There is no point to being wise with your pennies if it causes you to be foolish with your dollars later on. Think of the big picture.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you want to get to know someone, the onus is on you to make the first move. Don’t think too much about your approach.

Work up the courage, and break the ice -- everything will flow naturally from there.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t like to talk about your personal boundaries because you are generous. But you do have limits, and if you don’t let others know what they are, someone is likely to take advantage.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be helpful to someone who is going through difficult times. This person would rather be silent than talk about his or her feelings. Your presence is comforting because you understand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You remember the process of achieving maturity and are therefore compassionate with someone who is coming of age. You also recognize that each person has to learn in his or her own way.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, June 14, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 20 years, but I have a situation at home and don’t know what to do anymore.

My wife gets angry over little things on a daily basis. She is constantly upset about things people do or don’t do. If a child eats a cookie, she will throw a fit and then get mad at everyone else in the household. She will sulk and give everyone the silent treatment, and if you attempt to talk things over, she will walk away or leave the house.

Her anger used to appear every few days, but now it’s multiple times morning and night. She is seeing a therapist, but she tells him it’s everyone else’s fault -- her parents didn’t bring her up right, her friends aren’t supportive enough, her kids don’t behave, etc., etc.

We saw a marriage counselor, but she got angry with him for asking too many questions. Then she got mad at me for seeing the counselor on my own. I’ve often thought of leaving, but my parents divorced, and I can’t do that to my kids.

My wife and I are both in our early 50s, but her temper tantrums affect everything in our marriage, including intimacy.

I’ve lost interest. What can I do? -- Tired of Living with Silent Bob Dear Tired: Until your wife recognizes that she has a problem, she cannot work on making it better. Many women struggle with hormonal imbalances during menopause, making it harder to control existing emotional issues. This could be why your wife’s anger has gotten worse. Go back to your counselor and ask for help communicating with her. She has to understand that her marriage is at stake.

Dear Annie: I am 13 years old and have two best friends.

I’ve been friends with “Emma” forever, and I just started getting close to “Maria.”

The problem is, Emma has been giving me the cold shoulder

because I’ve been spending a lot of time with Maria. When I brought it up with her, she admitted it. Even though I’ve been going over to Emma’s house a lot more, the situation hasn’t gotten any better. When I’m around both of them, I try to give them equal attention, but Emma still brushes me off. There are times when she is nice like before, but not always. What do I do? -- Friend Problems Dear Friend: Emma is too jealous of Maria to include her in the friendship she has with you. This is not an uncommon response when someone new disrupts an existing relationship.

Emma wants you to stop being chummy with Maria, but we urge you not to cave in to that pressure, or it will limit all your future friendships. Spending more individual time with Emma is a good idea, but she is the one who must deal with her jealousy. We hope she can learn to share.

Dear Annie: I’m a 7th-grade teacher and often find items in your column to discuss with my students.

“Heartbroken in Texas” said her husband’s co-workers were sending photos of semi-clothed women to his business cellphone. In addition to your reply, I would like to say that this may also constitute sexual harassment and is covered under federal law. -- Allison Dear Allison: Sexual harassment can include creating a hostile or offensive work environment. However, most such cases need to be gender-based, meaning female co-workers would have to be aware of these photos. But these laws are constantly evolving, and some companies have their own policies in place, as well.

Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day and the 32nd Annual Pause for the Pledge of Allegiance at 7 p.m. (Eastern time).
