LACONIA — Following the Wednesday night decision of the City Council to introduce a man-datory recycling program for a trial period of six months begin-ning on July 1, City Manager Scott Myers yesterday outlined the steps required to implement it.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Mara-thon bombers were headed for New York’s Times Square to blow up the rest of their explosives, authorities said Thursday, in what they portrayed as a chilling, spur-of-the-moment scheme that fell apart when the brothers realized the car they had hijacked was low on gas.

“New York City was next on their list of targets,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

New York Police Commissioner Ray-mond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother decided on the spot last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV they had five pipe bombs and a pressure-

WACO, Texas (AP) — President Barack Obama consoled a rural Texas community rocked by a deadly fer-tilizer plant explosion, telling mourners Thurs-day they are not alone in their grief and they will have the nation’s support to rebuild from the devastation.

“This small town’s family is bigger now,” Obama said during a memorial service at Baylor University for victims of last week’s explosion in nearby West, Texas, that killed 14 and injured 200. Nearly 10,000 gathered to remember the first responders killed in the blast, a crowd more than triple the size of West’s entire popula-tion of 2,700.

“To the families, the neighbors grappling with unbearable loss, we are here to say you are not alone. You are not forgotten,” Obama said to applause. “We may not all live here in Texas, but we’re neigh-bors too. We’re Ameri-cans too, and we stand with you.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House declared Thursday that U.S. intelligence indicates Syrian President Bashar Assad has twice used deadly chemical weapons in his country’s fierce civil war, a provocative action that would cross President Barack Obama’s “red line” for a significant mili-tary response. But the administration said the revelation won’t immediately change its stance on intervening.

The information, which has been known to the administration and some members of Congress for weeks, isn’t solid enough to warrant quick U.S. involvement in the 2-year-old conflict, the White House said. Officials said the assessments were made with “varying degrees of confidence” given the difficulty of information gathering in

Police say brothers were on their way to Times Squarecooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said.

But when the Tsarnaev brothers stopped at a gas station on the outskirts of Boston, the carjacking victim they were holding hostage escaped and called police, Kelly said. Later that night, police intercepted the brothers in a blazing gunbattle that left 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.

“We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston,” the mayor said. “We’re just thankful that we didn’t have to find out that answer.”

The news caused New Yorkers to shud-der with the thought that the city may have narrowly escaped another terrorist

attack, though whether the brothers could have made it to the city is an open ques-tion. They were two of the most-wanted men in the world, their faces splashed all over the Internet and TV in surveillance-camera images released by the FBI hours earlier.

Dzhokhar, 19, is charged with carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 260, and he could get the death pen-alty. Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokes-woman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in Boston, would not comment on whether authorities plan to add charges based on the alleged plot to attack New York.

U.S. says Assad has twice used chemical weapons in Syrian civil warSyria, though there appeared to be little question within the intelligence community.

As recently as Tuesday, when an Israeli general added to the growing chorus that Assad had used chemical weapons, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration was continuing to monitor and investigate but had “not come to the conclusion that there has been that use.”

The Syrian civil war has persisted, with an estimated 70,000 dead. Obama has so far resisted pressure, both from Congress and from within his own administration, to arm the Syrian rebels or get involved militarily. He has, however, declared the use of chemical weapons a “game changer” that would have “enormous consequences.”

The White House disclosed the new intel-ligence Thursday in letters to two senators, but had Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announce it to reporters traveling with him in the United Arab Emirates. The letters were sent in response to questions from senators of both parties who are pressing for more U.S. involvement, and it marked the first time the administration has publicly disclosed evidence of chemical weapons use.

“Our intelligence community does assess, with varying degrees of confidence, that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons on a small scale in Syria, specifically, the chemical agent sarin,” the White House said in the letters, which were signed by Obama’s legislative director, Miguel Rodriguez.

BOSTON (AP) — Cost of amputating a leg? At least $20,000. Cost of an artificial leg? More than $50,000 for the most high-tech models. Cost of an amputee’s rehab? Often tens of thousands of dollars more.

These are just a fraction of the medical expenses victims of the Boston Marathon bombing will face.

The mammoth price tag is probably not what patients are focusing on as they begin the long healing process. But friends and strangers are already setting up fundraisers and online crowd-funding sites, and a huge Boston city fund has already collected more than $23 million in individual and corporate donations.

No one knows yet if those donations — plus health insurance, hospital charity funds and other sources — will be enough to cover the bills. Few will even hazard a guess as to what the total medical bill will be for a tragedy that killed three people and wounded more than 270. At least 15 people lost limbs, and other wounds include head injuries and tissue torn apart by shrapnel.

Health insurance, as practically anyone who has ever gotten hurt or sick knows, does not always cover all costs. In the case of artificial limbs, for example, some insur-ance companies pay for a basic model but not a comput-erized one with sophisticated, lifelike joints.

Rose Bissonnette, founder of the New England Amputee Association, said that the moment she heard about the bombings, she knew immediately that her organization’s services would be needed. The advocacy group helps amputees navigate things such as insurance coverage for artificial limbs.

Bissonnette shared one group member’s struggle to get coverage for artificial arms as an example of the red tape some bombing victims could face. The woman “got a call from the insurance company and the person on the other end said, ‘How long are you going to need the prosthetic hands?’” Bissonnette recalled.

Bissonnette herself was in a horrific car crash 16 years ago that left her with injuries similar to those facing the Boston victims. Her mangled lower left leg had to be amputated and her right ankle was partially severed. Her five-month hospital stay cost more than $250,000. Health insurance covered all her treatment, rehab and her prosthesis.

Health economist Ted Miller noted that treating just one traumatic brain injury can cost millions of dollars, and at least one survivor has that kind of injury. He also pointed out that the medical costs will include treating anxiety and post-traumatic stress — “an issue for a whole lot more people than just people who suffered physical injuries,” he said.

Adding to the tragedy’s toll will be lost wages for those unable to work, including two Massachusetts brothers who each lost a leg, Miller said. They had been roofers but may have to find a new line of work.

Many survivors will also need help with expenses beyond immediate health care, including things like modifying cars for those who lost limbs or remodel-ing homes to accommodate wheelchairs.

Many survivors live in Massachusetts, a state that requires residents to have health insurance, “which should cover most of their required treatment,” said Amie Breton, spokeswoman for Massachusetts’ con-sumer affairs office. “The total cost of that treatment is impossible to calculate at this early stage.”

Amputees may face the steepest costs, and arti-ficial legs are the costliest. They range from about $7,200 for a basic below-the-knee model to as much as $90,000 for a high-tech microprocessor-controlled full leg, said Dr. Terrence Sheehan, chief medi-cal officer for Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital in Rockville, Md., and medical director of the Amputee Coalition, a national advocacy group.

Legs need to be replaced every few years, or more often for very active users or those who gain or lose weight. Limb sockets need to be replaced even more often and also cost thousands of dollars each, Sheehan said.

Massachusetts is among about 20 states that require health insurers to pay for prosthetic limbs, but many plans don’t cover 100 percent of those costs, Sheehan said. “Most are skimpy beyond basic prosthetics and they have not caught up with cur-rent available technology,” he said.

CONCORD (AP) — Lead fishing tackle contin-ues to kill loons at an alarming rate, supporters of tighter restrictions on the gear told a House com-mittee Thursday, but opponents warned that such a move would make most fishermen’s equipment obso-lete and hurt the state’s lucrative tourism industry.

The state prohibits the use of lead-weighted hooks known as jigs that are 1 inch long or less. The bill would change the standard to ban jigs that weigh 1 ounce or less.

Though the state’s loon population is growing, about half of adult loon deaths are from ingesting lead fishing tackle and half of those deaths are from tackle that is legal, said Sheridan Brown, a spokes-man for the Loon Preservation Committee. Loons typically don’t breed for the first six years, making the loss of adults harmful to population growth.

“We’re not saying don’t fish. We’re saying don’t fish with lead,” said Harry Vogel, a senior biologist with

Boston bomb victims face huge bills, donations pour in

Impact of lead fishing tackle debated before committeethe preservation group.

But changing tackle would be prohibitively expen-sive for many fishermen, said Rep. Laurie Sanborn, R-Bedford.

Brown countered that the ban would be phased in over two years allowing businesses and fishermen time to switch to nontoxic tackle.

However, enforcing the ban would also be difficult, Sanborn said.

And Fish and Game Executive Director Glenn Nor-mandeau, whose department is charged with enforc-ing the existing ban, said that if the bill passes and loons continue to die of lead poisoning, his depart-ment will get the blame regardless of their efforts.

Education efforts by the Loon Preservation Com-mittee and others won’t get all lead out of the water so tighter regulations are a crucial backstop to ensure the loon population is sustained in New

Again U.S. victimized by political asylum con game

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon killing spree by foreign-born jihadists, see-no-evil bureau-crats in Washington are stubbornly defending America’s lax asylum pol-icies. DHS Secretary Janet Napoli-tano told the Senate Tuesday that the screening process is rigorous, effective and extensive.

These people can’t handle the truth. Or tell it.

The Tsarnaev brothers reportedly were granted asylum by “deriva-tive” status through their parents. After entering on short-term tour-ist visas, the mother and father (an ethnic Chechen Muslim) won asylum and acquired U.S. citizenship. Next, younger son Dzhokhar obtained U.S. citizenship. Older son Tamerlan, whose naturalization application was pending, traveled freely between the U.S. and the jihad recruitment zone of Dagestan, Russia, last year before the bombers’ gunfight in Watertown, Mass., last week left the Muslim ter-rorist dead.

Though they had convinced the U.S. that they faced deadly per-secution, the Tsarnaevs’ parents both returned to their native land and were there when their sons launched last week’s terror ram-page. Authorities will not reveal any details of the sob stories the Tsar-naevs originally spun to win asylum benefits for the entire family.

The whole thing stinks. And it’s an old, familiar stench. Immigra-tion lawyers have been working the system on behalf of asylum con artists for decades. The racketeers coach applicants with phony stories and documents from “chop shops” and game their way through “refu-gee roulette.”

Asylum and refugee claimants are being rubber-stamped at all-time-high rates. Government data analyzed by the nonpartisan TRAC website show that “the odds of an asylum claim being denied in Immi-gration Court reached an historic low in FY 2012, with only 44.5 percent being turned down. Ten years ago, almost two out of three (62.6 per-cent) individuals seeking asylum lost their cases in similar actions. Twenty years ago, fewer than one out of four (24 percent) asylum applicants won their cases, while three out of four (76 percent) lost.”

The game is rigged in favor of identity-group hustlers, who mau-mau adjudicators whose approval rates don’t meet their approval.

Soft-on-enforcement lobbying groups argue that it’s better to err on the side of allowing bogus asy-lum-seekers and refugees to stay than to get serious about cracking down on fraud and send undeserv-ing foreigners home. It’s not “practi-cal” or worth it, they say.

But what about the “if it saves just one life” standard set by President Obama? Why does it only apply to

gun control? Why won’t Washington err on the side of public safety by reexamining and overhauling our fraud-riddled asylum, detention, deportation and visa issuance poli-cies after the Boston jihad?

In case you’d forgotten, the Tsar-naevs were not the first murder-minded jihadists to benefit from ineffective policing of our asylum and refugee policies.

As I’ve reported previously:— Ramzi Yousef landed at New

York City’s JFK airport from Paki-stan and flashed an Iraqi passport without a visa to inspectors. He was briefly detained for illegal entry and fingerprinted, but was allowed to remain in the country after invok-ing the magic words “political asylum.” Yousef was released for lack of detention space and headed to Jersey City to plot the deadly 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

— Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer, a Pal-estinian bomb-builder, entered the U.S. illegally through Canada in 1996-97. He claimed political asylum based on phony persecution by Israelis, was released on a reduced $5,000 bond posted by a man who was himself an illegal alien and then skipped his asylum hearing. In June 1997, a federal immigration judge ordered Mezer to leave on a “voluntary departure order.” Mezer ignored him. He joined the New York City bombing plot before being arrested in July 1997 after a roommate tipped off local police.

— Mir Aimal Kansi, convicted in 1997 of capital murder and nine other charges stemming from his January 1993 shooting spree outside the CIA headquarters in McLean, Va., also exploited our insane asylum laxity. Despite his history as a known Pakistani mili-tant who had participated in anti-American protests abroad, Kansi received a business visa in 1991. After arrival, he claimed political asylum based on his ethnic minor-ity status in Pakistan. While his asylum application was pending, he obtained a driver’s license and an AK-47, murdered two CIA agents and wounded three others.

— Somali national Nuradin Abdi, the al-Qaida shopping mall bomb plotter convicted in 2007, first entered the U.S. in 1995 using a false passport. He entered again illegally from Canada in 1997 and secured asylum on false grounds. Abdi then was able to fraudulently obtain a refugee travel document, which he used to fly to Ethiopia and, yes, Chechnya for jihad training.

— Among the convicted Fort Dix (N.J.) jihad plotters were three ethnic Albanian illegal alien broth-ers, Dritan, Shain and Eljvir Duka, who snuck into the country through Mexico with their parents. In 1984, the father applied for asylum, but the feds ignored them for two

To the editor,After ready all of the articles in The

Laconia Daily Sun, the biggest inaccu-racy is the representation of the Ward 1 and Ward 6 councilors, Ms. Ava Doyle and Mr. Armand Bolduc. These are two of the three councilors who are against PAYT.

As people may not be aware, these councilors represent the entire popu-lation of South Down and Long Bay developments consisting of nearly 700 local taxpayers. This section of real estate pays more than 10 per-cent of the entire City of Laconia property tax revenues per year (over $5,000,000). Yet we get absolutely no city services for any of those revenues except schooling for a few children.

We have always had PAYT for rub-bish removable. The city even “salts the wound” by charging each resident an annual dump fee and a recently increased per dump charge if we use the city’s facilities, which we fund through our taxes. Otherwise, we must pay for a private trash service. It’s a wonder they do not charge us to use their recycling bins. (Whoops!)

Therefore councilors please include our entire population as 100 percent FOR PAYT in any of your polling num-bers regarding this program. Other-wise our polling numbers might be a little different at the next election!

It’s up you now Laconia, recycle or we’ll have to have PAYTTo the editor,

Laconia, put on your running shoes, or should I say your recycling shoes. The race is on. You are the ones who will win or lose the race. Mandatory recycling is the challenge and you must reach the finish line of at least 30 percent recycling to win.

What do you win? You win reduc-tion in trash costs, thereby helping the city meet their financial goals, and you win for the environment. You win by accomplishing this without paying with cash for it. You win by your par-

ticipating in your city, your home. It takes everyone doing their part.

If you lose the race, we will still have a recycling mandate but it will be Pay As You Throw because we didn’t reach our goal.

I want to thank everyone who responded to this issue, on both sides, as it showed you are willing to get involved.

Stay involved, get running to the goal line!

N.H. voters get the picture; we’ll not forget Newtown child victimsTo the editor,

I heard our Sen. Kelly Ayotte on NHPR (lecturing voice) expressing her belief (out of touch) that an out-of-state entity (Rep. Gabrielle Gif-fords’ gun-control effort) “can’t tell New Hampshire voters how to think.” This is Sen. Ayotte’s reaction to a TV ad, sponsored by Rep. Giffords, victim of a high-powered gun assault. Sen. Ayotte — wake up. Or Sen. Ayotte — get honest. Ninety percent of Ameri-cans want gun controls, especially

that reduce the number of bullets in a magazine. No one needs to tell New Hampshire voters how to think on this. We get the picture: mowing down people with machine-gun like rapid-ity is an insane capacity. Let us never forget the Newtown child victims. Only someone in the pocket of the NRA would cast her vote otherwise.

You should be ashamed, Ms. Ayotte, very, very ashamed.

LETTERSHelp us ‘Ditch the Gray’ in Belmont; please consider a donation Democrats have no real intent of lifting the poor out of povertyTo the editor,

Fellow residents and business owners of Belmont:

In the spirit of great changes being made in the look of our town, my daughter and I have to decided to take the reins and “Ditch the Gray”.

Have you ever noticed the tradi-tional uniform for police is dark blue, and our town has grey. The grey is not attractive looking and is more expen-sive and harder to find these days.

As you may know, the town has pur-chased new police cruisers and have gone back to the traditional colors which has been highly praised. As you all know, we have a new Police Chief Mark Lewandowski, who has been in this town a very long time and seen a lot of change. This change has sparked a lot of enthusiasm in the department. He took on his new role without having any part in the budget process because

it was already done. Our Belmont Police Department is in great support of going back to the traditional look for their department. New uniforms are not in this year’s budget for them so we have decided to help out. Alicia and I have set a goal to raise the funds for them to “Ditch the Gray”.

With this being said we are asking you for a donation in support of this ini-tiative. Any donation is accepted and nothing is too small. We want to thank you so much in advance and appreci-ate your patronage. Checks need to be written out to the Town of Belmont, Attn: Ditch the Gray Campaign, P.O. Box 310, Belmont, NH 03220 and will be put in a special account specifically for this use. If you have a question for us. please don’t hesitate to give us a call at our office at 527-1140.

To the editor,Democrats have declared since Adam

and Eve that they represent the less fortunate of America. If that is true no advocate for any one has failed their cause with such certainty, for so long as the Democratic Party. If the thinking/programs of the Democratic Party were indeed the solutions to the unequal society is it not reasonable to expect after 75 years there might be one sign of progress. We implemented endless leg-islation from the greatest “society equal-izers” of the 20th century, from FDR to JFK and LBJ. Government programs from all of them trumpeted with great fan fare, assigned catchy code names like the “New Deal” and the “Great Society” all aimed to produce EQUAL-ITY and reduce poverty in America. Face the truth people, every boondoggle, contrived, jury-rigged, paper-clipped, band-aided, cleverly-hyped, whirly gig contraption dreamed up by that donkey threesome, hoodwinked on a society, brain washed to think GOVERNMENT would solve their every problem has done absolutely NOTHING. . . I repeat. . . NOTHING except push this country ever closer to financial extinction.

After all the great hype and the

trillions spent, what do we have to show for it? Record poverty, record numbers on welfare by any measure-ment, record disability claims (many totally fraudulent), record debt wait-ing delivery to our children and Dem-ocrats who never stop PROMISING their NEXT IDEA will FIX EVERY-THING. We are 60 years past FDR, 50 years past JFK, and 40 years past LBJ.The differences between the top and bottom of society has never been greater despite the greatest number of safety nets and most costly social programs in our history all SOLD TO US IN THEIR DAY BY DEMOCRATS attached to promises to reduce pov-erty and produce equality. Guess what....EVERY IDEA FAILED.

Democrats have no intent to let the POOR OUT OF POVERTY only to lose dependent voters. They know making empting promises with catchy names, tied in candy wrappers buys elections. The less fortunate will never stop buying the sweet ILLUSION free handouts from government will bring them equality no matter that it has not happened after 75 years of promising that it will.

LETTERSI bet they don’t even know what’s in the bills Ayotte voted againstTo the editor,

It’s great to see the local liberals writing letters because they are glow-ing examples of why the rest of us should reject their ideas. The recent barrage of anti-gun letters lacks any intellectual thought process toward solving the problems related to the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook and other gun related tragedies.

Chastising Senator Ayotte for voting against the proposed gun control bill is their latest senseless rant. For start-ers, even if Senator Ayotte discov-ered the cure for cancer these people wouldn’t vote for her. Why? She’s an evil Republican and if that’s not bad enough, Senator Ayotte can read and make decisions based on logic. This simply doesn’t work for liberals. Accord-ing to them, it shouldn’t matter that the proposed legislation wouldn’t have prevented the tragedy at Sandy Hook. It shouldn’t matter that the proposed legislation wouldn’t save a single child from a twisted individual who is bent on killing people (with or without a gun). It shouldn’t matter that we’ve had similar “tough” guns laws for years that failed to lower gun violence and in fact resulted in higher gun related violence. It shouldn’t matter that the alleged 90 percent of “polled” Americans that favor back ground checks is proven to only be 49 percent, nor should it matter that few if any of them have actually read what was being proposed. It shouldn’t matter that 94 percent of Americans do not see changing the gun laws as

“important”. It shouldn’t matter that the proposed legislation includes pro-visions that would allow significant government intrusions that could go beyond the purchase of a gun.

No, facts and results are NOT important. Passing legislation that makes people “feel good” right now is the most important thing.

I’d bet that none of the clueless letter writers I referred to earlier have any idea what was in the pro-posed legislation that Senator Ayotte voted against. I’d also bet that repre-sentatives Shaheen, Kuster and Shea Porter don’t know what’s in it either but they would eagerly vote for it. Why? Because they blindly support Obama’s failed “feel good” policies. One inescapable fact is that they are more responsible for putting more guns and ammunition on the street than the NRA or any gun lobbying group. Guns and ammo have been flying off the shelves in record numbers ever since the beginning of the push for tighter gun control (I can assure you that the NRA didn’t start this campaign). You would think they would have learned a thing or two from President Clin-ton’s push for gun control; he also cre-ated a huge gun buying spree when he too pushed for and achieved tighter gun laws which resulted in more guns on the street with no decreases in gun violence. When it comes to liberal Democrats, some things never change.

Does Senator Odell realize Groton wind power goes to Mass.?To the editor,

New Hampshire State Senator Bob Odell, justifying his vote against the energy moratorium, recently stated that the government should not be in charge of “picking winners and losers in the production of renewable energy.”

Senator Odell, the government has put itself in that position many times. Our government picks winners and losers by endorsing and subsidizing energy projects. Governor Lynch was part of a big celebration in Frank-lin when the Northern Pass was announced ballyhooing the perceived benefits of industrial hydro-electric-ity coming through New Hampshire. The federal government has handed out many millions subsidizing wind energy projects, underwriting their construction costs and guaranteeing profits for the corporations even if they never produce a kilowatt of elec-tricity. It is absolutely the responsi-bility of our legislators to decide if an energy project is ultimately beneficial or harmful to our state. That is your job, Senator Odell, and a moratorium would have provided the time and facts to make good decisions.

Senator Odell lamented that the state will not meet its 25 percent renewable energy goal if we elimi-nate renewable energy projects before

they are built. I guess the senator is unaware that all the electricity and renewable energy credits (RCIs) pro-duced at the Coos wind project go to Vermont and the electricity and RCIs generated at the Groton wind project go to Massachusetts. Either New Hampshire has already met its renewable energy goal and can afford to ship these precious energy credits out of state or we have no intention of ever meeting this goal.

Senator Odell reported that 500 new permanent jobs would be cre-ated in Franklin if Northern Pass is completed. Even Northern Pass never made such an outrageous claim. Only five permanent jobs would be created while many other jobs have already been lost or are in jeopardy in the tourism dependent and second home areas of the state. Real estate sales have plummeted in the Newfound Lake area because of the three wind projects slated for that area and the Northern Pass project has had a chill-ing effect on home sales in the Camp-ton/Thornton area already and NP is years away from fruition.

Senator Odell may feel very proud that he was part of the effort to squash the energy moratorium per-haps because he feels these projects won’t affect the Monadnock area of the state. If he had taken the time to read testimony that was turned in at the SB-99 public hearing and looked at the ISO New England 2030 study, he would have noticed a 10,000 mw transmission line slated for the southern part of the state where his

To the editor,In the days weeks and months lead-

ing up to the Boston Marathon bomb-ing, the hot media topic was gun control, or as it morphed — “gun safety legislation.” Those proponents driving the issue cited the horrific shooting incidents at Sandy Hook and others as reasons to question the validity of the Second Amendment — yet again. These incidents involved one or two young, disturbed individuals who chose to commit multiple shootings of innocent people to put themselves into the public spotlight and to satisfy their personal agendas. The president, liberal legisla-tors, and the “lame-stream” media used these murders as a catalyst and justifi-cation to categorize and to punish ALL gun owners for the shocking deeds com-mitted by these few, sick individuals.

Fast forward to April 15th — the running of the Boston Marathon. Two young, disturbed Muslim individu-als chose to set off homemade bombs, killing three and maiming over two hundred innocent people to put them-selves into the public spotlight and to satisfy their personal agenda — JIHAD! The same people who felt justified to lump ALL gun owners with the few who chose to slaugh-ter innocents, now rush to dissuade the public from the truth; this is one more Muslim terrorist action against the citizens of America. They say, “We

must not rush to judgment!” We must not condemn all Muslims for what a few might do!” “This incident does not point to any larger group being behind it.” Where is the consistency in this type of duplicitous logic? We now enter the Land of Oz: “Pay no atten-tion to that man behind the curtain!”

Once again, as in 9-11 and in so many other terrorist actions that have fol-lowed throughout America since then, we are told that it had nothing to do with Muslim Jihad. Political correct-ness is blinding so many people and is only serving those wishing to bring down our country. President Obama denies that there is outside /political/Muslim terrorism; so many people want to believe him and the “lame-stream” liberal media continues to feed the ignorance. While they are so deter-mined to provide a murdering terrorist his Constitutional rights, there is NO hesitation (by them) to dismantle the Second Amendment rights of law abid-ing American citizens.

This speaks to a broader, deeper problem within our society. That “poli-tics” is used against the rights of a select group of Americans, while pro-tecting the rights, or even denying the existence of those who wish to destroy us is frightening. It is time to pull back the curtain and expose the “wizard.”

How many white conservatives are going around throwing bombs?To the editor,

Hey, what is it with these left-wing loony toons who immediately after the bombs went off at the Boston Mara-thon were writing and broadcasting about how they were hoping it was done by some white conservative American? There were many saying or writing it but for a couple examples. One genius from Current TV, Cenk Uyger, was “rooting for a non-Middle Eastern.” He continued, “I know the way THAT American is reactionary.”

Are you kidding me? This guy’s some kind of nut!

Then from Denver, David Sirot said much the same and even had this to say: “If he’s an Italian-American we

won’t bomb the Vatican.” What a bigot!You know I think the president has

a good point on background checks. How did these guys get to be TV and radio commentators? There nuts!

Just how many white conservatives are going around throwing bombs compared to the Islamic terrorists? It has to be something on the order of a thousand to one, Muslim favor. Yet these jerks keep trying to portray we white conservatives as the bad guys. They have to be suffering from some kind of brain disorders or are just con-genital liars and half wits.

Well named, this little cat

flits around the cat social rooms just like her name denotes. She is vivacious, bring and sparkly and full of joy.

Lightning Bug is the first cat to greet you when you walk into the room, purring, coiling her little body around your legs, she is a peach!

“What’s up with her fur?” you ask, once formal introductions have been completed. The lower half of

her svelte orange tabby body is devoid of fur, such was the severity of her flea infestation upon arrival at New Hampshire Humane Society in March. Of course, we have quickly treated her, now to wait for her fur to grow back!

Overlooking her lower nakedness, she is a lovely little cat probably about ten years old she is spry and energetic. Her adoption fee includes spay, vaccines, de-worming, micro chip.. she is quite the bargain. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org

CONCORD (AP) — A former code enforcement director for the city of Laconia, N.H., has won a round in his legal battle to obtain unemployment benefits.

The State Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously vacated and remanded a Department of Employ-ment Security decision to deny Wil-liam Stewart’s application. Stewart

GILFORD — Selectmen will hold a public hearing on May 8 as part of a recommendation to raise the solid waste disposal tipping fees for com-panies serving town residents at the Laconia Transfer Station from $30 a ton to $90 a ton.

The move, which if passed by select-men mirrors a similar action taken by the Laconia City Council last year, will reduce Gilford taxpayers’ subsidy of private household waste and could save as much as $100,000 during the balance of the 2013 budget year.

Overall, Town Administrator Scott Dunn told selectmen Wednesday night that the annual savings is esti-

Gilford plans to increase trash hauler tipping fees in effort to trim taxpayer subsidy mated to be about $210,000. He said $90 per ton tipping fee reflects the actual cost of getting rid of household trash through the Concord Regional Solid Waste Resource/Recovery Coop-erative in Penacook.

In 2012, Dunn said the total cost of solid waste disposal in Gilford was $413,000 with $289,000 being subsidized through taxes. The balance of $124,000 is paid by transfer station users.

“In theory, people will pay more to their tax haulers and less in taxes,” said Dunn. He also said yesterday a side benefit would be to encourage residents to recycle more household waste, further reducing the costs of solid waste pickup.

“Recycling is free,” Dunn said.

Because there is no municipal curb-side pickup or solid waste transfer station for town residents, Gilford is partnered with Laconia for trash disposal and transport to Penacook. Dunn said Gilford “owns” 30 percent of the capital infrastructure at the Laconia Transfer Station on Parade Road. The town decal includes access provisions to Laconia and there is no

cost for the decal to Gilford residents.After listening to Dunn’s recommen-

dation, selectmen said they were in favor of holding a public hearing and, at first blush, it makes sense to raise the fees on July 1 to better reflect the actual costs of trash disposal.

The public hearing is scheduled for the general meeting room in the Gil-ford Town Offices at 7 p.m.

Fired Laconia code enforcement officer wins legal battle over unemployment benefits

was code enforcement director from March 14, 2011, to June 29, 2011, before he was terminated.

A department officer and appeals tri-bunal had said Stewart didn’t have suf-ficient earnings within a certain period to establish a claim for the benefits.

The court said the department denied Stewart’s claim based on an erroneous interpretation of the law.

The Middlesex County district attorney’s office also is building a murder case against the surviving Tsarnaev for the death of MIT police officer Sean Collier three days after the bombings, office spokeswoman Stephanie Guyotte said.

Investigators and lawmakers briefed by the FBI have said the Tsar-naev brothers — ethnic Chechens from Russia who had lived in the U.S. for about a decade — were motivated by anger over the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Based on the younger man’s interro-gation and other evidence, authorities have said it appears so far that the brothers were radicalized via Islamic jihadi material on the Internet instead of any direct contact with ter-

rorist organizations, but they warned that it is still not certain.

Dzhokhar was interrogated in his hospital room Sunday and Monday over a period of 16 hours without being read his rights to remain silent and have an attorney present. He immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representa-tive from the U.S. Attorney’s office entered the room and gave him his Miranda warning, according to a U.S. law enforcement official and others briefed on the interrogation.

Kelly and the mayor said they were briefed on the New York plot on Wednesday night by the task force investigating the Boston bombing.

Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon presided over the bench trial of Nicholas Fleming, 34, of 22 Drake Road in Gilmanton and said the state didn’t prove 100 percent of its case, fi nding that Fleming and his former business partner Richard Bergeron didn’t co-own the wood.

Gordon said that Fleming and Bergeron were part-ners, if not by formal decree, and that his understand-ing was that the proceeds of the wood the two men

Gilmanton man found not guilty of fi rewood theftcut together was split between them according to how much work each man invested into the logging.

Fleming and Bergeron had a physical altercation on December 22 after both men had been drinking. Fleming said he understood that after the argument the partnership was over but said he went to the Gilford site the the next day and took the wood to fi ll an outstanding order.

When he realized the wood was gone, Bergeron reported it to the Gilford Police who investigated and charged Fleming with one count of theft.

Gordon said Bergeron may have some kind of civil suit regarding the value of the wood taken verses the hours Fleming worked but criminal court was not the place for the matter.

LACONIA — The fi re engine housed at the Weirs Beach Station known as Ladder 2 was taken out of service this week when a crack in the chassis was discovered in the course of routine maintenance.

Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that the city has a lifetime warranty on the truck, which was built in 1998. The truck was taken to Connecticut on Wednesday to be repaired and is expected to return in four to six weeks.

Ladder 2 is known as a Quint for the fi ve functions it is capable of performing — pumping water, carry-

Cracked chassis puts Laconia fire truck out of commissioning water and storing hose while mounted with an aerial ladder and equipped with ground ladders.

While Ladder 2 is out of service, the ladder truck at Central Station will respond to calls at The Weirs as necessary. Erickson has arranged with Belmont and Meredith to deploy their ladder trucks to Laco-nia as circumstances warrant. Gilford routinely responds to all structure fi res in Laconia, but does not have a ladder truck in its fl eet.

The 1983 hose wagon, generally kept in reserve, has been put into service at the Weirs Beach Station.

have been told earlier.“Even though this may or may not have been spon-

taneous, for all we know there could be other conspira-tors out there, and the city should have been alerted so it could go into its defensive mode,” he said.

Asked about the delay, Bloomberg said: “There’s no reason to think the FBI hides anything. The FBI does what they think is appropriate at the time, and you’ll have to ask them what they found and what the actual details of the interrogation were. We were not there.”

Kelly, citing the interrogations, said that four days after the Boston bombing, the Tsarnaev brothers “planned to travel to Manhattan to detonate their remaining explosives in Times Square.”

“They discussed this while driving around in a Mercedes SUV that they hijacked after they shot and killed the offi cer at MIT,” the police commissioner said. “That plan, however, fell apart when they realized that the vehicle they hijacked was low on gas and ordered the driver to stop at a nearby gas station.”

A day earlier, Kelly said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had talked about coming to New York “to party” after the attack and that there wasn’t evidence of a plot against the city. But Kelly said a later interview with the suspect turned up the information.

“He was a lot more lucid and gave more detail in the second interrogation,” Kelly said.

Kelly said there was no evidence New York was still a target. But in a show of force, police cruisers with blinking red lights were lined up in the middle of Times Square on Thursday afternoon, and uni-formed offi cers stood shoulder to shoulder.

“Why are they standing like that? This is supposed to make me feel safer?” asked Elisabeth Bennecib, a tourist and legal consultant from Toulouse, France. “It makes me feel more anxious, like something bad is about to happen.”

Above the square, an electronic news ticker announced that the Boston Marathon suspects’ next target might have been Times Square.

Outside Penn Station, Wayne Harris, a school-teacher from Queens, said: “We don’t know when a terrorist attack will happen next in New York, but it will happen. It didn’t happen this time, by the grace of God. God protected us this time.”

In 2010, Times Square was targeted with a car bomb that never went off. Pakistani immigrant Faisal Shahzad had planted a bomb in an SUV, but street vendors noticed smoke and it was disabled. Shahzad was arrested as he tried to leave the coun-try and was sentenced to life in prison.see next page

Bank of New Hampshire adds its name to pavilion at Meadowbrook as part of long-term partnership

GILFORD — Meadowbrook announced yesterday that Bank of New Hampshire has signed on as the lead sponsor of the outdoor performing arts center. Reflecting the relationship, the venue will now be known as the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook. The naming partnership will last for at least seven years, though both parties expressed an interest in a longer-term affiliation.

The Laconia-based bank and Meadowbrook have long worked together, said R.J. Harding, president of Meadowbrook. BNH is the official bank of Meadow-brook, and provided the more than $3 million loan that is funding the expansion that the venue under-went this winter. The project added 3,000 covered seats, for a maximum capacity of 8,300, as well as two new parking lots and a new access road.

“The folks at Bank of New Hampshire have shown us time and time again that we believe in what we do here,” said Harding.

Added Bridget Harding, the venue’s human resources and “director of fun,” “They believed in us when a lot of people didn’t.”

“This is really a terrific relationship,” said Mark Primeau, president and CEO of Bank of New Hamp-shire. Both the bank and the music venue, he said, are “two New Hampshire organizations that have developed deep roots in the community.”

Meadowbrook brings thousands of music fans to the Lakes Region every summer, Primeau con-tinued, which adds to the economic vitality of the region. With the construction work, and expanded capacity, he said, Meadowbrook is “really going to have an impact on the local economy.”

“This is a long-term partnership,” Primeau said, “we want to be together forever... for a long, long time.”

Meadowbrook, which held its first shows in the summer of 1996, also announced five additional shows yesterday. Journey will play at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavillion at Meadowbrook on August 3. Kiss will play on August 7, Godsmack on August 10, John Mayer with Phillip Phillips on August 18 and Ke$ha will visit the venue on August 31.

The April 17 explosion left a crater more than 90 feet wide and damaged dozens of buildings, displac-ing many residents from their homes. The Insurance Council of Texas estimates it caused more than $100 million in damage, and crews were sifting the rubble to search for clues to what caused the explosion or whether foul play was involved.

The blast came about 20 minutes after a fire was reported at West Fertilizer. Ten of those killed were first responders who sped out to the nighttime blaze.

GILFORD — Bank of New Hampshire Pavillion at Meadowbrook will begin charging patrons of the music venue for parking, said president R.J. Hard-ing yesterday.

“We’re hoping to promote carpooling with that,” Harding explained.

Those who purchase their tickets online will have the opportunity to purchase a general lot park-ing pass for $5, while those who show up without a pass will pay $10 to park. Inner Circle members and season ticket holders will be able to park at no additional cost.

Harding said that the venue has observed a reduc-tion in carpooling to shows at Meadowbrook over recent years, with more and more cars being utilized by the same number of concert goers.

The trend is of concern to Meadowbrook, espe-cially in light of the recent expansion project that added 3,000 seats, for a total capacity of 8,300 people. Although the project also added 800 park-ing spaces, Meadowbrook will only be able to accom-modate 3,000 vehicles, meaning that attendees will have to average more than two people per car when a show sells out.

Harding expects the chronic problem of traffic jams within the parking area will be greatly alle-viated this year, thanks to a second access road added as part of the expansion project. The “West Entrance” road will exit onto Kimball Road, which runs from the Laconia Airport to Route 11-B.

The memorial service honored those first respond-ers and two civilians who tried to fight the fire and were posthumously named volunteer first respond-ers. Among the dead were brothers Douglas and Robert Snokhous, West High School graduates who volunteered together for the town’s fire department for more than 13 years.

As Obama spoke, the gymnasium lit up with the flashes of cameras and cellphones, glimmering like stars in the dimly lit room. The president spoke for 16 minutes, quoting scripture and lauding the men whose flag-draped coffins laid before him. “When you got to the scene, you forgot fear and you fought that blaze as hard as you could, knowing the danger,” Obama said.

The service opened with a photo slideshow set to country music and projected onto a movie screen. It showed images of the men from their childhood, their weddings and other moments throughout lives filled with children and friends. Mourners were given pro-grams with full-page profiles of each of the victims, describing their lives, their values and their faith.

Both the president and first lady Michelle Obama wiped away a tear as bagpipes sounded “Amazing Grace.”

“How does one find such love to be willing to lay down your life so that others may live?” asked Texas Sen. John Cornyn, speaking on behalf of the state’s congressional delegation. “This will forever be the legacy of those who ran toward the fire last week.”

Texas Gov. Rick Perry eulogized the unpaid first responders, lamenting that each had a personal story and journey that drew to a close too soon.

“These are volunteers. Ordinary individuals blessed with extraordinary courage and a deter-mination to do what they could to save lives,” he said. “They’re the ones who proudly said ‘not on my watch’ in the moments immediately following that explosion.”

trash would exceed that of the first half of the year.Myers said that the municipal solid waste ordinance

must be amended to include the new procedure for curbside collection of trash and recyclables. The ordi-nance, he said, should prescribe an appropriate or minimal amount of recyclables required to qualify for trash collection in order to provide an effective incen-tive to recycle. At the same time, it must specify how much trash will be collected at the curb.

The original proposal suggesting limiting single family homes to one 64-gallon container and and multi-family dwellings and commercial establish-ments to seven of the same size, which exceeds the limits set by the current ordinance.

In addition to providing residents information about the operation of the program, Myers said that a strategy for enforcing the ordinance must be devel-oped in collaboration with Casella Waste Services. He said that “to begin with”, recyclables would con-tinue to be collected every other week, noting that

weekly collection would add $45,000 to the annual collection cost of $130,000. It is not clear how the requirement to recycle will be enforced during those weeks when recyclables are not collected.

Myers said that once the rules are established, printed material explaining what must be done to comply with the program and addressing the most common scenarios would be prepared. When the program begins he suggested a city employee might follow the truck as it makes its rounds and distrib-ute information to residents found out of compli-ance. He emphasized that while some responsibility for enforcement may fall to the crew on the truck, it would have the full support of city officials.

After the City Council found itself split evenly between a “pay-as-you throw” and a mandatory pro-gram, Mayor Mike Seymour invited the councilors to consider introducing mandatory recycling on a trial basis and when the councilors again reached a stalemate, he cast the deciding vote in favor of the pilot program.

injuries were among the reasons police wanted a cash-only bail.

Responding officers said the woman described Morton as dark and muscular and said he ran toward Mechanic Street. Police conducted a K-9 search with a dog from Gilford and the animal located Morton hiding under a trailer. Police said he was wearing black shorts, was muscular, and appeared to be scratched and sweaty.

He allegedly told police his name was Lamar Morton and that he was chasing the guy who com-mitted the robbery and that the guy had a gun.

After arriving at the police station, the man again said his name was Lamar Morton but shortly police learned he was Jojo Morton and police had house warrants for him. Police matched a previous photo-graph of Jojo Morton to the accused.

Police remaining at the scene recovered a red shirt, a wallet with Morton’s identification and a cell phone from behind Domino’s.

When asked why he lied, police said Morton told them he “just wanted to be with his family.”

According to court paperwork, Morton had been arrested in January by city police and charged with criminal mischief and resisting arrest for an incidents that happened on December 28, 2012. He was also charged by police for one count of receiving stolen property on June 22, 2012.

Noyes said Morton had a criminal record with mis-demeanors ranging from drug possession to simple assault from 2001 to 2003. He also said Morton had been staying in Hawaii, had significant ties there and was “obviously a flight risk.”

He also told the court that Morton has used the name of his brother-in-law and hid his identity from police.

Public Defenders represented Morton and said he had strong ties to Laconia and had graduated from Laconia High School. Morton’s lawyers said he didn’t know about the charges from June and December, however Carroll noted that he had signed the bail slips and didn’t show up for his court date in January.

Morton, whose mother was in court, is in Laconia to attend the funeral of a relative. His mother told the court she didn’t want him to be released but she did want him to be able to attend services.

In his bail order, Judge Jim Carroll said he would be allowed to attend the funeral under the condition he follow the protocols of the Belknap County Sheriffs Department regarding special releases from jail, which is a sheriff ’s escort according to Sheriff Craig Wiggin.

She also said he needs “to grieve with his family, “ but Car-roll stopped her from speaking, saying he was aware of Morton’s recent loss.

Morton’s attorneys also said Morton is innocent of robbery and wants his name cleared.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell last week to a seasonally adjusted 339,000, the second-fewest in more than five years. The drop suggests that layoffs have declined and that job growth may pick up from last month’s sluggish pace. Applications for benefits dropped 16,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average declined 4,500 to 357,500.

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. When they decline, it signals that companies are cutting fewer jobs.

Still, layoffs are only half the equation: Businesses

also need to be confident enough in the economy to step up hiring. Many companies have been advertising more jobs but have been slow to fill them. Job openings jumped 11 percent during the 12 months that ended in February, but the number of people hired declined, according to a Labor Department report this month.

The still-uncertain economy has made many com-panies reluctant to hire. Some employers appear to be holding out for perfect job candidates. In particular, com-panies say they can’t find enough qualified candidates for high-skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs.

U.S. applications for unemployment aid drop to 339k

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots have traded their first-round pick in the NFL draft to the Minnesota Vikings.

In exchange for the 29th choice, the Patriots obtained four picks Thurs-day night. They received choices in the second, third, fourth and seventh rounds this year. Those are the 52nd, 83rd, 102nd and 229th overall. With the Patriots’ pick, the Vikings chose

BOSTON (AP) — A week into his comeback from a long layoff, David Ortiz looks like his old self.

Ortiz went 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs, boosting his bat-ting average over .500 as the Boston Red Sox beat the Astros 7-2 Thurs-day night to win their eighth straight series opener.

“It’s remarkable the timing that he’s displayed, particularly after the layoff that he’s had,” Boston manager John Farrell said. “I think even guys in the dugout are marveling at what he’s been able to do, as far as not only contact but driving the baseball.”

Ortiz, who also scored three runs, is 11 for 20 (.550) with five RBIs since returning last weekend. He missed 71 of last year’s final 72 games and most of the first three weeks this season because of a heel injury.

“I’ve been working, just like to stay short and quick to the ball, not trying to do too much,” Ortiz said. “And I always tell you guys, I’m old enough to know what it takes for me to be what I want to be.”

Boston has won 10 of its last 13 and taken the first eight series openers of a season for the first time in team history.

Clay Buchholz (5-0) allowed two

Big Papi shines as Red Sox beat Astrosruns and six hits in 7 2-3 innings with 10 strikeouts and two walks. His ERA rose from 0.90 to 1.19.

The 28-year old right-hander became the first Boston pitcher to win his opening five starts since Josh Beckett in 2007 — when the Red Sox went on to win the World Series.

“Last couple of years I’ve been a slow starter, so it feels good to be out there and have a little bit of confi-dence early on, and that helps a lot,” he said. “Guys are playing well behind me. Things are going right.”

Houston dropped to 7-15, the Astros’ worst start since opening with the identical record in 1975, according to STATS.

Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia hit run-scoring singles in the first, when Mike Carp added a two-out RBI double and scored on Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s single.

Houston closed to 4-2 on run-scoring singles by Fernando Martinez in the second and Jason Castro in the third.

Ortiz homered into the center-field bleachers in the third, his first since July 13 against Tampa Bay’s Jeremy Hellickson and his first at Fenway Park since June 27 off Toronto’s Jesse Chavez.

Patriots trade out of draft’s first roundwide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson of Tennessee.

The Patriots went into the draft with just five picks, the fewest in their history. They had one in each the first, second and third rounds and two in the seventh and final round.

Now they have a total of eight picks — two in the second, two in the third, one in the fourth and three in the seventh.

NEW YORK (AP) — Banks aren’t the big jobs machines they used to be.

One after another, major financial firms are trimming their payrolls. In first-quarter earnings announcements this month, Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley revealed that they have slashed more than 31,000 jobs, or 3.5 percent of their combined work-force, in the past year. For three of those banks, it was the second straight year of cutbacks. And the pattern is being repeated at banks around the world.

Layoffs in the depths of the finan-cial crisis were to be expected. But four years later, and at a time when many banks are reporting higher or even record earnings, the cuts are unsettling to an entire industry.

The losses are an unwelcome reminder of the meltdown and its lin-gering effects. A slow, halting recovery has kept loan demand in check. Low interest rates are crimping profits from lending. New regulations have extin-guished old sources of revenue, and compliance is expensive. The cuts also reflect advances in technology that have made bank tellers more expendable.

Steven Mann, chairman of the finance department at the University of South Carolina’s Moore School of Business, says many of his students have given up on banking jobs.

Big banks shedding jobs by the thousands“In 2005, 2006, 2007, I’d ask, ‘Do

you want to go work at a bank?’ and the answer was always yes,” he says. “Now the answer is no one. They want to be in the treasury department of General Electric.”

The industry’s rhythm now veers more toward cost cutting than free-wheeling. Those higher earnings? They’re not because business is gang-busters. They’re because banks have been forced to make do with less.

Citigroup’s new CEO Mike Corbat, hired to turn around a bank that has struggled since the financial crisis and beforehand, says that examining costs and improving efficiency should be “business as usual” and “not just an annual event.”

What makes the situation especially harsh is that there were signs in 2010 and 2011 that banks would start hiring more people. Banks added about 45,600 positions in the U.S. in 2010 and 2011 combined, according to data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. In the previous two years, they shed more than three times that many jobs.

Then last year, job growth was essen-tially flat. Some observers worry that the turnaround won’t ever happen. The industry’s total U.S. workforce of 2.1 million is 105,000 less than it was at its peak in 2007.

MEREDITH — Laconia Harley-Davidson is com-memorating the 90th anniversary of Laconia Motor-cycle week by launching a campaign to raise $30,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region.

Laconia Harley has donated a one-of-a-kind, cus-tomized 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide motor-cycle which will be raffl ed off to support the Lakes Region organization. Only 3,000 tickets will be avail-able and can be purchased for $10 a piece at www.laconiaharley.com, at the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Laconia Harley-Davidson and White Mountain Harley-Davidson. In the last four years, Laconia Harley-Davidson has raised $125,000 in support of New Hampshire nonprofi ts including the Loon Preservation Society, the New Hampshire Food Bank, and The Winnipesaukee Playhouse.

“As a local business, we look forward to hosting hundreds of thousands of Laconia Motorcycle Week visitors each year,” said Anne Deli, owner of Laco-nia Harley-Davidson. “The Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region hosts a more important constituency each day – our children. This is an opportunity to own a piece of history while empowering a well-deserving local nonprofi t that infl uences so many young lives.”

The Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region (BGCLR) was formally chartered in 2007 but its roots go back to community leaders who banded together in the late 1990’s to create a safe place for area teens. Today BGCLR serves 240 members from across the region, by providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere to learn and grow during out-of-school hours.

“Laconia Harley-Davidson’s donation is one of the single largest gifts we have ever received,” said Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region executive director Cheryl Avery. “This gift will enable us to do so much for the youth of our community. In particular it will support our summer program, which exposes kids to the beauty and recreation of the Lakes Region while instilling a sense of personal and environmental responsibility. We are here for kids throughout the Lakes Region, especially for those who need us most. The simple act of buying a $10 raffl e ticket can make an incredible difference.”

The 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide will fea-ture customized artwork by legendary pinstripe artist and Candia, New Hampshire resident Russ Mowry. Mowry has been making his mark on the motorcycle world since 1958 and is renowned for the unique detailing he applies to motorcycles. He has hand-painted hundreds of motorcycles from Sturgis to Daytona and was recently given a life-time achievement award by Willie G. Davidson, son of former Harley-Davidson president William H. Davidson and head of Harley-Davidson’s Willie G. Davidson Product Development Center.

Second and third place winners will receive a $500 and $100 gift card respectively, good at Laconia Har-ley-Davidson or White Mountain Harley-Davidson. Tickets are on-sale now at www.laconiaharley.com, Laconia Harley-Davidson, White Mountain Harley-Davidson or the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region. Tickets will also be sold throughout Laconia Motorcycle Week from June 8th – 16th.

LACONIA — The show “Today’s Living, Brought to you by Taylor Community” and hosted by Tim Martin, Taylor’s president and CEO, starts airing this week on Lakes Region Public Access Television.

GILFORD — It’s going to be a trifecta of rock at the ‘Brook on July 9 when Daughtry and 3 Doors Down with special guest, Halestorm, all performing as part of the Eastern Propane Concert Series this summer. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 26 at noon and range from $35 to $85. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.Meadowbrook.net.

In the course of only five years, Chris Daughtry has had more than his share of career highlights. The singer, songwriter, and musician from North Carolina has released back-to-back No. 1 albums, has scored four No. 1 Top 40 hits (“It’s Not Over, “Home,” “Feels Like Tonight,” and “No Surprise”), earned four Grammy Award nominations and won four American Music Awards.

If rock ‘n’ roll had fairy tales, the 3 Doors Down

story would be one of the most popular. They made their mark early, selling 6 million copies of their debut album. When Billboard printed its Top 100 Pop Songs, 1992-2012, the band was represented twice in the top 25. “Here Without You” was No. 8 and “Kryptonite” was No. 25 on a list based on Top 40 radio airplay.

At the young ages of 10 and 13, front woman, Lizzy Hale and her brother Arejay formed Halestorm just 10 years ago. Now, after scoring two top 10 singles (“I Get Off” and “It’s Not You”) from their self-titled debut and touring steadily for two years with acts as diverse as Shinedown, Stone Sour, Disturbed, Mega-deth, and countless others, Pennsylvania quartet Halestorm is back with their second full-length, The Strange Case of.....’’

At right: Bill Moga decorates a temporary paper tree at the Hall Memorial Library. (Courtesy photo)

NORTHFIELD — Warmer weather is approach-ing and this year’s Summer Reading Program themes at the Hall Memorial Library are “Dig into Reading” for the kids, “Beneath the Surface” for teens, and “Groundbreaking Reads” for adults.

To go along with the theme of digging to read, the library is holding a a fund-raiser in order to pur-chase a Red Sugar Maple tree. It is looking to raise approximately $400 in order to buy a tree large enough to have the best chance to survive the trans-plant from the nursery, to thriving in and adorning the yard of the library.

Donating is easy. Just purchase one or more “paper books” for $1 each, write your name or the name of someone you might want to honor on the cover, and tape it to the temporary paper tree inside the library.

CONCORD — Fishing in New Hampshire’s desig-nated trout ponds and fly-fishing-only ponds opens this Saturday.

Fishing is allowed through October 15. These waters are managed specifically for trout and offer anglers the chance to experience exciting fishing in some of the Granite State’s most scenic surround-ings.

“These trout ponds are often the best waters in a given area for a variety of reasons,” said New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Fisheries Biologist Don Miller. “Excellent habitat, low species competition and the fact that these ponds are closed to ice-fishing allow these waters to be managed for the trout fishing enthusiast.”

Ponds managed for trout may be stocked with one or more species, including brook, rainbow and/or brown trout, with age classes ranging from year-lings (8-12 inches), 2-year olds (12-15 inches), and 3+ year olds (measured in pounds).

“Trout are prized by anglers because they can be a challenge to catch, and fishing for them is one of the traditional rites of spring,” Miller said. “Whether your passion is a multi-colored brook trout, a leaping rainbow or the determined fight of a brown, there’s a New Hampshire trout pond within reasonable driv-ing distance for you.”

Hot Hole Pond and Clough Pond in Loudon, French Pond in Henniker, Mount William Pond in Weare, Dublin Lake in Dublin, and Barbadoes Pond in Madbury are a few of the generously stocked early season hotspots where opening day trout are taken.

There are many popular ponds located from the Lakes Region north to Pittsburg. They include Echo Lake in Franconia, Russell Pond in Woodstock, Conner Pond and Duncan Lake in Ossipee, White Lake in Tamworth, Perch Pond in Campton, Salt-marsh Pond in Gilford, Spectacle Pond in Groton, Back Lake in Pittsburg, Fish Pond in Columbia and Little Diamond Pond in Stewartstown.

Anglers looking for a true wilderness experience will enjoy visiting one of the nearly 50 remote trout ponds that Fish and Game annually stocks with fin-gerling brook trout via helicopter. These are listed at http://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/trout_remote.htm.

Archery Pond in Allenstown (with a wheelchair-accessible casting platform) and Stonehouse Pond in Barrington are two popular fly-fishing-only ponds that will be ice-free and well stocked for the opener.

Further north, some excellent fly-fishing-only ponds include Upper Hall Pond in Sandwich, Sky Pond in New Hampton and Profile Lake in Franco-nia (check the Freshwater Fishing Digest for special regulations) on these waters. .

Trout and fly-fishing ponds open on Saturday

The plan is designed to address Ashland’s vulner-ability to natural and man-made hazards and will serve to reduce future residential and commercial property losses from hazardous events before they occur. The committee reviewed changes that have occurred in the last fi ve years, including the status of mitigation actions that were recommended in the 2006 Plan.

The most signifi cant areas of concern for Ash-land included high winds, fl ooding, earthquake, and severe winter weather. During development of the plan, community leaders were able to identify and prioritize actions to reduce the impacts of these haz-ards.

The plan is also a useful tool for leveraging addi-tional sources of funding prior to, or in the event of, a natural disaster.

The committee invites local businesses, citizens, and neighboring municipalities to comment on the draft Ashland Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, 2013.

The draft plan will be available for review during a public comment period from April 19-30 on the town’s website (http://www.ashland.nh.gov/), at the Ashland Town Library, and at the Ashland Town Offi ce. All comments should be directed in writing to [email protected] or [email protected]. Written comments may also besubmitted to the Town Administrator at the Town Offi ce.

MEREDITH — “The Greater Meredith’s Career Partnership Program was recently awarded the FBLA (Future Business Lead-ers of America) “Busi-nessperson of the Year” award at the annual FBLA conference at the Radisson Hotel in Man-chester.

The FBLA’s mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career develop-ment programs. The GMCPP’s mission very closely parallels that of the FBLA, as their mis-sion is to: Connect stu-dents and businesses; Give students exposure to careers; Give busi-nesses the opportunity to share their expertise; and to build relationships between businesses and schools/students.

The Career Partnership Program focuses on a five-prong approach: Internships, Job Shadows, Volun-teer/Community Service, Guest Speakers’ Bureau and a one-day Job Fair for summer employment. The program helped over 80 students experience job shadows and internships last year, and is on its way

to surpass those numbers this year. The two groups recently kicked-off a fundraiser called “Lakes Region-opoly”. This is a fundraiser board game that is played much like any “opoly” game. Spots on the game board were sold to local businesses and the proceeds were split among the FBLA students and the GMCPP’s non-profit organization. The FBLA members have raised enough money to pay for their conference expenses for the next two years.

PLYMOUTH — PSU student Kristin Sarette, has recently been accepted into the prestigious Tama-rind Institute’s Professional Printer Program in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Sarette left Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) in Laconia 2003 as a Fine Arts graduate. After a break in schooling, she began attending Plymouth State University’s BFA program as Fine Arts major with a double minor in Psychology and Art History and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

“I was pleasantly surprised to find that all of my LRCC credits transferred after seven years to PSU,” says Sarette. “What LRCC did was enable me to com-plete all of my general education credits, gave me a firm foundation in my chosen field without exorbitant costs, and left future choices up to me. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, took a break, and when I was ready, I was able to pick up where I left off. PSU has been beyond my expectations; it is a large enough facil-ity to provide quality resources and small enough to give extra attention when needed.”

Beginning in the fall. Sarette will continue for a Master’s Degree at Tamarind Institute’s Professional Printer Program. Sarette is on of only eight students accepted into this world-renowned institution.

For additional information on LRCC’s Fine Arts Program, contact the Admissions Department at 524-3207 ext. 6798. One may also visit LRCC’s web-site at www.lrcc.edu.

Temple B’nai Israel shares Seder with Christian community

LACONIA — Temple B’nai Israel had the oppor-tunity to share a Passover Seder with members of the Christian community on Thursday, March 28.

Rabbi Hannah was invited to conduct a Seder at Saint James Episcopal Church which was also attended by members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Trinity Episcopal Church in Meredith.

For many of the 80 plus people who attended, it was the first time they had ever experienced a Seder. It was also the first time most had been exposed to the Passover traditions and related story.As she went through the Haggadah, Rabbi Hannah explained beautifully, not only the prayers, but the traditions of Passover. She took everyone on a tour around the Seder plate explaining everything from the shankbone to the bitter herbs. In addition, she was able to relate the time in Egypt and the issues of slavery from the past to present, by digging into the concept of freedom and how being free and being enslaved affects us all.

As with any Seder, hours of preparation went into creating the meal itself and many are to be thanked for their contributions, including Irene Gordon. Her cooking was exceptional and did not go unnoticed. Her ability to pull together a staff to assist with the final food preparation, serving and busing the entire meal was greatly appreciated by all who attended.

As temple members served the meal, they received many positive comments relating to how wonderful it was to see this side of Judaism and better under-stand the Passover tradition.

EVP of iVantage Health Analytics. “The need for enhanced performance and a framework for success are equally important as hospitals prepare for the impact of health reform.”

Solution and tips at www.sudoku.com

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some look at the scene and declare that there is little to be done about it. You’re more likely to roll up your sleeves in the spirit of determination than to throw up your hands in defeat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t worry about pleasing the audience or the critics. Even your best efforts may not win them over, and even if you do, the victory will be hollow unless you fi rst please yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is easy to discount the learning you do when you are having fun. It feels so effortless that you hardly think to give yourself any credit. How-ever, don’t be too modest, or you’ll miss an opportunity. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be outside factors to challenge you and obstruct your path, so do not create extra impediments. Keep making the effort, and avoid making excuses. Stay strong and be ready. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The end is always the best place to start. Embrace the closing of a chapter, and stay alert to loose ends, unanswered questions and the like. The unre-solved bits will lead you into the next adven-ture. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). However nice it feels to be envied or thought of as “cool,” it’s nothing compared to the feeling of help-ing others, making the world better and giving your love where it’s needed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It will be tempting to volunteer, but this is not an opti-mal moment. Any extra hours you have would be best used recharging. You’ll perform better at life when you’re well rested. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your theory doesn’t need to be tested in order for you to know it’s correct. Don’t waste time trying to prove something to yourself or others. Trust that you know what you’re doing, and move forward. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You feel compelled to create. Although you may use your talents at work, your creativity is broader than a professional calling. Honor your creative spirit by indulging it beyond

what you’re paid to do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Centu-ries ago, new shoes were a much bigger deal to acquire. Now it’s commonplace to update your “kicks,” but you still get a thrill from this effort -- or from any effort to help you walk the earth with grace and style. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Getting along with the other gender is easy once you stop expecting them to have the same strengths, manners and behaviors that your gender does. Embracing differences makes for smooth sailing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you have to. You feel open to new possibili-ties. You’ll blow past the former limits that once described you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 26). Your worries dissipate as your strength and fl ex-ibility of spirit develop. You are like a ninja in the fi ght. Whatever is thrown in your path or directed at you, trust that you can use it to your advantage. This month and next increase the love fl owing through your life. Financial luck is optimum in June and Octo-ber. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 23, 41, 3 and 50.

Today is Friday, April 26, the 116th day of 2013. There are 249 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On April 26, 1865, John Wilkes Booth, the

assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was sur-rounded by federal troops near Port Royal, Va., and killed. (Just before dying, Booth looked at his hands and gasped, “Useless, useless.”)

On this date:In 1607, English colonists went ashore at

present-day Cape Henry, Va., on an expedition to establish the fi rst permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere.

In 1785, American naturalist, hunter and artist John James Audubon was born in present-day Haiti.

In 1913, Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old worker at a Georgia pencil factory, was strangled; Leo Frank, the factory superintendent, was convicted of her murder and sentenced to death. (Frank’s death sentence was commuted, but he was lynched by an anti-Semitic mob in 1915.)

In 1923, Britain’s Prince Albert, Duke of York (the future King George VI), married Lady Eliza-beth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey.

In 1933, Nazi Germany’s infamous secret police, the Gestapo, was created.

In 1937, German and Italian warplanes raided the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War; estimates of the number of people killed vary from the hundreds to the thousands.

In 1945, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain (an-REE’ fee-LEEP’ pay-TAN’), the head of France’s Vichy government during World War II, was arrested.

In 1952, the destroyer-minesweeper USS Hobson sank in the central Atlantic after colliding with the aircraft carrier USS Wasp with the loss of 176 crew members.

Comedian Bucky Lewis entertaining at May 4 benefit for cancer victim Diane Cleveland

Comedian Bucky Lewis (Cour-tesy photo)

LACONIA — Team Cleveland is hosting an adult comedy night at the Margate Resort on Saturday May 4 to ben-efit Diane Cleveland. There will be raffles to go with the adult comedy show that eve-ning.

“Wicked Funny” Northern comedian Bucky Lewis is sched-uled to perform his one-man adult comedy show at 8 p.m.

Two and half years ago Diane was diag-nosed with Inflamma-tory breast cancer. From the beginning she has had a great group of family and friends to do everything they can to support her. Last year she walked in the strides against breast cancer walk. After the walk she was heard to say “This was the first step in my fight and I can tell you that it was a great thing.” This walk helped her relies she is not alone and if others can fight so can she.

Currently she is in stage 4 breast cancer that has gone to her bones and has a hole in her hip and mul-

tiple holes in her spine. Last year she had a double radical masectomy and everything was great. Her cancer was shrinking and got married to the love of her life in November. Things were looking up until March 19 when she was told she had a 2 cm brain tumor and had surgery on March 28 to remove the tumor. She still undergoes chemo treatments three times a month.

“I am going to win this battle. This has changed my life and my familiy’s lives. My two children and

husband now worry about me and help take care of me. They are great. This is not what I wanted for my family. Sometimes it suck what life deals you. Keeping positive is the best thing and the hardest thing that I can do. I may have cancer but cancer does not control me. “

Bucky Lewis presents high spirited one-man show with a cast of many dysfunctional characters. “I call my show the ‘Bucky Lewis Experience’ because it incorporates the whole dynamic of a live one-person show: physical, stand-up, and character comedy, mixed with live music, songs, spontaneous and audi-ence interactivity”, Lewis says.

Tickets may be purchased on location at the Margate Resort the night of the show, and at Han-nafords in Gilford. Tickets are $20 per person, and doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show starts at 8 p.m. For more info on the event and tickets, call Staci at 520-6464, or Angela at: (603) 455-6493.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: A close friend of mine is a successful profes-sional woman who went through a painful divorce several years ago when her husband was unfaithful. “Diane” swore off dating for a long time. A year ago, Diane began seeing a man who is also a suc-cessful, well-known professional from our community. How-ever, this man has a history of cheating on his wife and even left his marriage at one point to marry another woman, only to return to his wife and family when he realized he had made a mistake. But he continued to cheat. His marriage ended two years ago, and he soon moved in with someone else for sev-eral months. Two weeks after they split up, he began dating Diane. They are now engaged. Several people have warned Diane about this guy, his past and the destruction he seems to cause. His own grown chil-dren refuse to speak to him. I worry that this man has great potential to hurt Diane. How can I get through to her that marrying him would be a huge mistake? She says because of her successful practice she would have the means to take care of herself if anything were to happen with the marriage, but it is her heart I am worried about. This leopard isn’t going to change his spots for her. -- Concerned in the Heartland Dear Concerned: Diane is surely aware of her fi ance’s past and has heard all of the warnings about his cheating, but they have not dissuaded her. Some women think they are “the one,” and the man will change for her. It rarely happens. Diane is determined to marry the guy and, as she says, has prepared herself for the consequences. She may feel this is her only chance to be married again. Or she may believe that all guys cheat, so what’s the difference. Unless she is willing to address these issues, the wedding will go on despite your

misgivings. Please do your best to wish her well. Dear Annie: My daughter and son are 32 and 28, and I am looking for a good answer when people ask me why I don’t have any grandchildren. They have both been in long-term relationships in the past, although they aren’t involved with anyone now, so it’s not looking too promising. But I’m won-dering how to respond when people bring this up. -- Not a Grandma Yet Dear Not: People are nosy and often ask nunofyerbizness-type questions. You don’t have to respond. But you are cer-tainly welcome to hand them your children’s phone numbers and suggest they call and ask. Be sure to smile when you do it. And then change the subject. We think that will keep them from asking again. Dear Annie: My youngest daughter, “Amy,” who is now 17, was the ultimate picky eater as a young child. She would not eat meat and wouldn’t touch any vegetables except corn. Her father would insist that she eat what was placed before her, which only led to tears, fi ghts and vomiting. Her dad and I are now divorced. Amy is now healthy, and her weight is perfect for her height. Trips to the doctor confi rmed what I suspected after reading an article in Scientifi c American -- that Amy is a super-taster. That means she has many more taste buds on her tongue than the average person, making her more sensitive to subtle tastes the rest of us don’t notice. Forcing Amy to eat foods that do not smell “right” to her is pointless. This is a physical condition, not disobedience. Pun-ishing a child who suffers from this condition is simply cruel. -- Mom of a Super-Taster

This event will be similar to 5-minute networking and involves women meeting one another for a short interval and then moving on to the next person in line in a very fun, exciting and comfortable way.

According to Leslie Sturgeon, Founder of Women

Inspiring Women, “Networking and building solid contacts are critical to career growth, business expansion and learning about other resources.” She added, “Our event will provide attendees with a quick and effective way to meet other professionals to gain exposure for their businesses.”

Mingling and appetizers will be from 5 to 5:45 p.m. and the schmoozing session runs from 5:45 to 8 p.m. Reservations are needed at wiwnh.com and are $30 for members and $35 for non-members if made before April 29.

WATERVILLE VALLEY — Educators can explore innovative ways to use the arts to teach, document and celebrate environmental literacy in and out of school during a daylong professional development workshop on Monday, May 6, at the Margret and H.A. Rey Center in Waterville Valley.

The workshop is the first stage of a project designed by the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, and funded in part by a grant from New England Environmental Educators Association and the EPA.

The workshop is designed for K-12 educators, including classroom, environmental and science teachers, adminis-trators and arts specialists; staff and volunteers of envi-ronmental organizations, out-of-school and after-school

programs, libraries and other community organizations; and parents, artists and interested community members.

The workshop includes hands-on indoor and out-door activities and introduces a template for orga-nizing arts activities, environmental experiences and Common Core Standards.

Presenters include Cynthia Robinson, teaching eco artist; Lori Jean Kinsey, Education Director, Tin Mountain Conservation Center; and Leigh Ann Reynolds, Education Coordinator, The Rey Center.

Professional development credits are available. The workshop runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Register online at www.aannh.org, or call (603)323-7302 for more information.

HOLDERNESS — Blue Heron School at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is offering a full day program for the 2013-2014 school year and is cur-rently accepting new registrations. Families can choose from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. sessions.

Blue Heron School began in 2010 as New Hamp-shire’s first nature-based Montessori early learning center with a child-focused approach and daily out-door experiences. The school, for ages three to six, operates from September to June, Monday through Friday.

Blue Heron School is designed as a three-year program; students start at age three and have two years of preschool and one year of kindergarten. Each year builds on the previous year as younger students learn by modeling older students and older students learn by teaching and assisting younger students.

“We are happy to offer extended hours to families,” said Laura Mammarelli, Blue Heron School Direc-tor. “Extending our schedule until 3:30 will make it possible for more children to experience Blue Heron. We are excited to have more time every day for out-door adventures and activities.”

Blue Heron School is currently accepting registra-tions for the 2013-2014 school year. More informa-tion about Blue Heron School is at www.nhnature.org/programs/blue_heron_school.php.

GILFORD — Meadowbrook wel-comes the Allman Brothers Band with Steve Winwood on August 27 as part of the Eastern Propane Concert Series.

Tickets go on sale Friday, April 26 at 10 a.m. and range from $35.25-$94.25. To order, call 293-4700 or log on to www.Meadowbrook.net.

As the principal architects of South-ern rock, the Allman Brothers Band forged this new musical offshoot from elements of blues, jazz, soul, R&B and

rock and roll. Along with the Grateful Dead and Cream, they helped advance rock as a medium for improvisation. Their kind of jamming required a level of technical virtuosity and musi-cal literacy that was relatively new to rock & roll, which had theretofore largely been a song-oriented medium. The original guitarists in the Allman Brothers Band - Duane Allman and Dickey Betts – broke that barrier with soaring, extended solos. Combined with organist Gregg Allman’s gruff,

soulful vocals and Ham-mond B3 organ, plus the forceful, syncopated drive of a rhythm sec-tion that included two drummers, the Allman Brothers Band was a blues-rocking power-house from their begin-nings in 1969.

For more than four decades, Steve Winwood has remained a primary figure in rock ‘n’ roll as a respected innovator who has helped to create some of the genre’s most celebrated achieve-ments. Winwood burst into prominence in 1963 with the Spencer Davis Group and since that time his celebrated skills as a composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumen-talist have developed an impressive catalog of popular music.
