LACONIA — The Huot Regional Techni-cal Education Center Renovation Commit-tee agreed last night it would not pursue an option to relocate the school from the High School campus to the Aavid Thermal-loy building in the O’Shea Industrial Park.

After hearing from architects from Lavallee Bresninger and engineers from Rist-Frost Shumway, the committee —

Aavid plan for Huot Center is out, too costlycomprised of members of the business com-munity, Huot Center representatives and the Laconia School Board — said the esti-mated $14.1-million cost of the project was just too high.

Instead, the committee — which must operate within a maximum $9.5-million budget — chose to further develop an expansion along Dewey Street coupled with a renovation of the existing Huot Center.

But the build-out could be substantially

different from the plan introduced at last month’s planning charrette that gave the public an opportunity to review and offer suggestions to three plans — all of which ended up being too expensive.

Last night the engineers brought forth a new plan — Plan F — that adds 9,900 square feet of new space onto the Dewey Street (south) side of the existing high school — and renovates 41,900-square-feet

After more than two centuries of farming the land at Picnic Rock Farm in Meredith, the family owners decided last year to add a community supported agriculture program. Many other local farms have done the same and those invested in local agriculture see the programs as a part of the future of farming.

MEREDITH — This past winter, Glenn and Maggie Crawford welcomed a small group of people to Maggie Mae Farm, where they talked about their farming practices and philosophies, toured the animal barns and described the symbi-

CSA model sprouting like rhubarbotic relationship between the heirloom livestock and the pastures that were cov-ered with snow. The group liked what they heard, apparently, and before leaving they each cut a check for several hundred dollars, entitling them to a share of the coming year’s harvest.

That scene, at a Belmont farm that prides

itself on being the antithesis of modern con-ventional agriculture, was an example of Community Supported Agriculture, known as CSA in short hand. CSAs are springing up faster than rhubarb, and like that per-sistent perennial, it appears that they aren’t going away anytime soon.

CONCORD (AP) — A 10-year-old Massachu-setts boy who disap-peared in the White Mountains in 2003 died of hypothermia, not from foul play like his family believes, New Hampshire’s U.S. attor-ney said Tuesday.

A months long inde-pendent investigation with the FBI ruled out suffocation and other suspicious causes in the death of Patric McCar-thy of Bourne, Mass, said U.S. Attorney John Kacavas. Patric was on vacation with his family in Lincoln over Colum-bus Day weekend in 2003 when he appar-ently got lost racing his stepbrothers home.

His body was found four days later more than 2 miles from his family’s condo.

Kacavas told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he rejects the family’s assertions that Patric was stran-gled or suffocated. He said Patric’s body had

In El Paso, Obama mocks GOP position on immigrationEL PASO, Texas (AP) — In search of

Hispanic votes and a long-shot immigra-tion overhaul, President Barack Obama on Tuesday stood at the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since winning the White House and declared it more secure than ever. He mocked Republican lawmak-ers for blocking immigration over border security alone, saying they won’t be happy until they get a moat with alligators along the border.

“They’ll never be satisfied,” he said.Stymied by both chambers of Con-

gress, the president ditched lawmakers in favor of voters who might pressure them, making an appeal to the public on a hot and dusty day far outside the beltway. He told a friendly El Paso, Texas, crowd that it’s up to them to tell Congress to pass leg-

islation providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.

The approach also allowed the president to make clear that it’s Republicans — not him — standing in the way of immigra-tion legislation. As his re-election cam-paign approaches it’s a message he wants broadcast loud and clear to Latino voters who don’t like his administration’s heavy deportations and feel he never made good on his promise to prioritize immigration legislation during his first year in office.

“I am asking you to add your voices to this,” Obama said in El Paso. “We need Washington to know that there is a move-ment for reform gathering strength from coast to coast. That’s how we’ll get this done.”

Countering Republican calls to focus on border security before moving to a com-

prehensive overhaul, Obama boasted of increasing border patrol agents, nearing completion of a border fence, and screening more cargo, among other steps.

“We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforce-ment,” Obama said. “But even though we’ve answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time.”

“Maybe they’ll need a moat,” he said deri-sively to laughter from the crowd. “Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat.”

“The question is whether those in Con-gress who previously walked away in the

TUNICA, Miss. (AP) — The bulging Mississippi River rolled into the fertile Mississippi Delta on Tuesday, threaten-ing to swamp antebellum mansions, wash away shotgun shacks, and destroy fields of cotton, rice and corn in a flood of historic proportions.

The river took aim at one of the most poverty-stricken parts of the country after cresting before daybreak at Memphis, Tenn., just inches short of the record set in 1937. Some low-lying neighborhoods were inundated, but the city’s high levees pro-tected much of the rest of Memphis.

Over the past week or so in the Delta, floodwaters along the rain-swollen river and its backed-up tributaries have already washed away crops, forced many people to flee to higher ground and closed some of

Great, swollen river rolls on toward Mississippi Deltathe dockside casinos that are vital to the state’s economy.

But the worst is yet to come, with the crest expected to roll through the Delta over the next few days. The damage in Memphis was estimated at more than $320 million as the serious flooding began, and an official tally won’t be available until the waters recede.

To the south, there were no early figures on the devastation, but with hundreds of homes already damaged, “we’re going to have a lot more when the water gets to where it’s never been before,” said Greg Flynn, a spokesman for the Mississippi emergency management agency.

Across the region, federal officials anx-iously checked and reinforced the levees, some of which could be put to their stern-

est test ever.About 10 miles north of Vicksburg, Miss.,

contractors lined one side of what is known as a backwater levee with big sheets of plastic to keep it from eroding if floodwa-ters flow over it as feared — something that has never happened to the levee since it was built in the 1970s.

In Vicksburg, at the southern tip of the rich alluvial soil in the central part of the state, the river was projected to peak on Saturday just above the record set during the cataclys-mic Great Flood of 1927. The town was the site of a pivotal Civil War battle and is home to thousands of soldier graves.

Jasmine Lamontagne, 27, of 10 Watson Road,

SANBORNTON — Karen Ober edged incumbent Andrew Livernois by 30 votes and will fill the one-year term left vacant when her husband, Steve Ober, resigned due to the demands of a new job.

Ober, who said her husband was often known as the “voice of reason” said her goal was to fill that same role.

Livernois, who served two full three-year terms as selectman, chose to run for the one-year seat instead of defending his full-term position.

In the three-year race, incumbent Selectmen Guy Giunta, who was appointed by Chair David Nicker-son and Livernois to fill in for the four months from Steve Ober’s resignation until yesterday’s election beat former Budget Committee and current School Board Member Timothy Lang by a vote of 311 to 169.

In the only other contested race, incumbent Town Clerk-Tax Collector Jane Goss bested challenger Sherry Guyer by 340 votes, getting 421 votes to Guyer’s 81.

Judith Burlingame-Rich and write-in candidate Russ Cedarberg will fill the two open spots on the Budget Committee.

Marla Davis and Joanne Dover are the two new library trustees and Melanie VanTassel is a cem-etery trustee.

Davis also will join the Board of the Trustees of the Trust Funds and Susan Shannon ran unopposed

LACONIA — The City Council this week approved an ordinance enabling municipal officials to accept payment of local fees and charges, including motor vehicle registrations and property taxes, by credit and debt cards.

On the the first of two readings, five of the six councilors voted to adopt the ordinance while Coun-cilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) abstained.

Donna Woodaman of the Finance Department told the council that the ordinance is the outcome of two years work, which included interviewing “dozens” of firms to serve as a third party provider. Ultimately Interware Development Company, Inc. of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, which offers EB2GOV, an on-line host for an array of municipal services. Woo-daman stressed that the company is endorsed by the State of New Hampshire and provides e-services to 72 municipalities.

“This is long overdue,” said Mayor Mike Seymour.Woodaman explained that in order to ensure secu-

rity, the third party provider would handle all trans-

Council OKs use of credit & debit cards to pay cityactions. She said that for each transaction there would be a processing fee of $1.50 and an additional charge of 2.95-percent of the value of the transac-tion, which she acknowledged could represent a significant sum on a property tax bill. The proceeds from the fees would accrue to the third party pro-vider and the city would collect only the fees and charges due to it.

Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) questioned the transaction charge of 2.95-percent as “expensive.” Woodaman said that after speaking with many firms, she believed that the charge was in keeping with the market.

Finance Director Pam Reynolds said that there was considerable discussion about accepting prop-erty tax payments with a credit card for fear of enabling residents to accumulate excessive debt. “We decided that it is a matter of personal choice,” she said.

Woodman said that part from providing a conve-nience to customers, the program will reduce the amount of cash handled at the City Clerk’s office and in particular at the Transfer Station.

name of enforcement are now ready to come back to the table and finish the work we’ve started,” he said.

Obama also tailored his argument to the times, making his case for immigration reform in newly sharpened eco-nomic terms. He said that the middle class would benefit from bringing illegal immi-grants out of an under-ground economy and drawing on the abilities of immigrants educated in American universities. Obama also noted that it’s not just Latinos who want an immigration remake, but also police chiefs, business owners, educators and others.

His speech broke no new policy ground, though, and he declined to offer a bill or call on Congress to send him one by a particular dead-line — a bow to political realities on Capitol Hill.

no evidence of trauma and called work by the family’s private investi-gators “reckless” and “shoddy.”

Patric’s father, Stephen McCarthy of Bourne, said he’s “disgusted but not surprised” by Kacavas’ findings.

“I don’t think New Hampshire did any investigating,” McCarthy said. He said his only recourse is “to get them out of office or go higher. I don’t know if we can go any higher.”

Kacavas said the case “tragically has suffered from reckless speculation by a number of people over the course of the last eight years that has led this poor family to believe something untoward happened to Patric. All the credible evidence suggests he died an accidental death due to hypothermia.”

Kacavas said he wrapped up his investigation in December and noti-fied the family of the results in April.

Patric’s parents have said they believe his then-12-year-old step-brother might have suffocated him. Kacavas said Patric’s body displayed no traumatic or suspicious injuries to support that conclusion.

“The recovery site was 2.2 miles from the site where he was last seen,” Kacavas said. “That would have required a mind-bending logistical arrangement where the 12-year-old is able to identify the location of the body and someone transported it 2.2 miles undetected while some 80 vol-unteers were searching the area.”

Patric’s mother, Deanne Murray of Buzzards Bay, Mass., said Tuesday that she still believes Patric was killed and began crying uncontrollably. Her mother, Jacqueline Murray, said, “Deanne is so burned out. When you know it’s not an accident, that’s the worst part. All she wants is justice for her child.”

Attorney General Michael Del-aney reopened the case after he took office in 2009. He concluded last year that there was no basis to prosecute anyone in the case.

Kacavas said he did not use Del-aney’s findings and evidence in his investigation, saying he wanted to conduct an independent review.

Deanne Murray told the AP last year that a private investigator assembled accounts from four pathol-ogists who reject hypothermia as the cause of death.

“This is not a hypothermia case,” she said then. “His clothes were never found, hat was never found, his coat was never found. He had bruising on his gumline, he had dirt up his nose, he was straight out in a prone posi-tion, he had lesions on his face. I mean come on, it’s ridiculous.”

In October 2003, about 500 volun-teers searched for Patric. They were aided by helicopters, dogs, night-vision equipment and even kayaks as rescu-ers searched a nearby river. Searchers crisscrossed the area where his body was found but didn’t initially see it because it was hidden by vegetation.

Republicans who control the House are hostile to overhaul legislation.

And as if to underscore how faintly his call for immigration reform would resonate in Congress, two key border state Republicans immediately shot back with a statement demanding to know: “President Obama speaks about our broken immigration system; but what about our broken borders?” The statement was from Republican Sens.

Jon Kyl and John McCain of Arizona, the latter Obama’s 2008 presidential opponent and a one-time supporter of comprehensive overhaul legislation.

Obama’s personal pitch was the latest step in a visible campaign to build sup-port and pressure on Republicans to act. He went so far as to encourage people to sign up to help him at the White House website. He said it was up to the Ameri-can people to drive the debate and iso-late areas where both parties can agree.

LETTERS

Froma Harrop

Nice try, Republicans, running a political protection racket to push your Medicare scheme. Scrubbed of the sweet talk about saving Medi-care, your offer boiled down to this: You older folks support us, and we won’t touch a hair on your govern-ment health-insurance plan. Only those 55 and under get whacked.

Somehow this appeal to greedy geezer-ism didn’t go over so well. Perhaps it was too blatant. Perhaps older people are not greedy — they worry about the coming genera-tions. And perhaps these voters looked a couple of moves ahead on the chessboard and figured that a radical shrinkage in health care security for today’s younger work-ers would imperil the cushy benefits they enjoy. After all, with each pass-ing year, there will be more voters born after the 1957 cutoff and fewer born before.

Anyway, the reception to the plan was less than friendly. The angry ones who beat up on Democrats during last year’s town hall meetings seemed to do a U-turn and waved their fists at Republicans. In response, GOP lead-ers wisely backed away from their deficit plan, which in essence, would balance budgets by going after Medi-care with an ax.

To recap: The proposal would end government responsibility for paying the medical bills of the elderly and disabled. Instead, Medi-care recipients would be handed vouchers with which to buy cov-erage from private insurers. And here’s the big squeeze: The size of the vouchers wouldn’t nearly keep up with projected hikes in health care costs.

Of course, Medicare spending cannot continue spiraling upward at the current rate, and waste and fraud do plague the program. Republicans were no doubt think-ing that in addition to capping the taxpayer’s obligation to Medicare, a voucher system would wring out its famous inefficiencies as insur-ers sought to maximize profits. This was another of their government-can’t-do-anything-right, let-the-pri-vate-sector-straighten-things-out formulations.

However, the history of for-profit players in Medicare does not inspire such confidence. The private Medi-

care Advantage plans cost taxpay-ers 12-percent more per head than the traditional program would have. And the government-run Depart-ment of Veterans Affairs pays 40-percent less for prescription drugs than do the private insurers in the Medicare drug benefit.

We must thank Republicans for showing us how to balance budgets and reduce government’s role in health care without raising taxes: Have corporate interests make the health care decisions and arbitrarily cut how much you give them to do so. And we admire the party’s House leaders for courage in passing this fiscally honest and politically risky proposal with only four of their members voting against it.

But with the reviews for their vision a two-thumbs-down, Repub-licans should try another approach. For starters, they can stop malign-ing the health care reform law, which does include mechanisms to curtail Medicare spending (while preserving the government’s role as guarantor of promised benefits).

As one example, the law promotes Accountable Care Organizations — networks of doctors and hospitals that care for patients and share in any savings. As another, it funds comparative effectiveness research, which studies various treatments for the same condition and identi-fies those that do the job as well for less money.

Finally, Republicans should stop ignoring the revenue side of budget-ing. Tax collections as a percentage of the gross domestic product are the lowest they’ve been in decades. The things Americans want must be paid for, and they want Medicare.

Accusing political opponents of trying to scare old people has not succeeded. Americans see the Republican plan for the attack on Medicare that it is. And pitting one generation against another is not an attractive strategy. In any case, it appears not to have worked this time. Republicans, let’s try again.

Having a mental illness does not define you, it’s not who you are

Where is Freudenberg going to find qualified workers? China?

To the editor,I am writing this letter in hopes

that it will be published and provide guidance and hope to others that have similar experiences as me. I am a 71 year old widowed mother of two chil-dren. I am diagnosed with a mental illness and have had it for most of my entire adult life. I am diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder and for any of you who know anything about mental illness know what a struggle life can be at times. Admitting you need help is a very powerful and amazing thing I know that years ago mental illness was looked at as a scary, horrible thing by society, but let me tell you from first hand experience times have changed and there is help out there with amazing people.

People shouldn’t be afraid to reach out and seek help, people in this world have suffered for far too long and the negative stigma that comes with having a mental illness needs to stop. I feel as a society that we don’t respect others as we should, which in turn leads people to not respect them-selves and have low self-esteem. Once I started receiving help from Genesis Behavioral Health and learning the skills necessary to manage the symp-toms of my mental illness I started to see my life in a more positive way, it was like a light bulb went off in my head and I started to change. It has been a long hard journey but I have enjoyed it all even the struggles

because within each struggle is a lesson to be learned. One of the most important lessons to learn is to stop and think before placing judgment onto another person. Treat people the way you want to be treated, I know that sounds funny but I have lived a long time and it is the truth. To get respect you have to be able to give it and respect yourself. Respect is some-thing that is earned; you do not just get it. I have learned a great deal from all the problems I have faced throughout my life. Things happen for a reason there may never be a clear understanding of why something hap-pens but believe me there is a reason.

My hope in writing this is that people will read it and decide that maybe they need help and seek it out. Having a mental illness does not define you, it’s a part of who you are but it is not who you are. I think that is where some individuals get mixed up and they think because they have a mental illness that all they are is that diagnosis and that is not the truth by any means. My hope is that society will continue to grow and change how they see and perceive an individual diagnosed with a mental illness and with this change people suffering will be able to receive the help and treat-ment they deserve because at the end of the day we are all people!

DES reached a water level compromise that protects our lakesTo the editor,

As a resident of Lake Winona, I would like to thank our state and local representatives and all employees of DES who thoughtfully investigated the issue of the water level on Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona for the past year and who listened to the resi-dents, as trying and traumatic as that might have been at times, in reaching their decision regarding the summer recreational level and the fall draw down level of both lakes.

Obviously there were concerns by those who wanted the level lower and those who wanted the level

higher, however, both had the same concerns for water quality and wild-life. DES reached out for expertise to address all issues on which they based their decision; reaching a deci-sion of compromise that protects our lakes, wildlife and shores, provides a more constant water level, and meets the needs and concerns of most all residents on both lakes. Hopefully the letter-writing campaigns and discord from last summer are over and we can enjoy a peaceful summer on the lakes.

To the editor,Jobs, jobs, jobs. China, China, India,

India. For some reason we blame low wage countries for our high unem-ployment numbers. We need to look at our own education policies to see why we are losing jobs overseas. Chinese and Indian government policies are to encourage education of their people. Our expenditures for education from the earliest years, through higher levels have never been as high as they should be. And now they are being cut even more to “balance the budget”.

These cuts will not balance the budget and will put us even farther behind in the competition for people trained and educated for skilled jobs.

There has been much talk about retraining fired workers for better types of jobs. My understanding is that this is good PR, but not working in practice on a large scale. People must be educated from birth to be able to deal with school grades. United Way, in cooperation with other agen-cies, has two such programs. There is

To the editor,The following is a letter I have written to Ms.

Linda Heminway of Plaistow and New Hampston (Lake Winona):

I am responding to your letter to the editor of The Laconia Daily Sun, which Janan Hayes forwarded to me and others.

From your letter, it is not clear if you have had an opportunity to read the full Notice of Decision since you refer to DES’s findings as published in the Laconia Sun. Provided below is a link to the Notice of Decision on DES’s web page: http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/dam/documents/2011-waukew.... The basis of the Final Operating Level for Lake Waukewan is summarized in this 23-page decision.

DES’s decision on the Final Operating Level of Lake Waukewan was based on significant research into topics relevant to the control of the outlet, col-laboration with experts, collection of information and opinion from affected parties and other inter-ests, including yourself, several public forums to gather testimony, analysis of data, and numerous field assessments, including during the period of the Interim Operating Level.

After a careful review of all this information, DES has determined that, to protect the ecology of both Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona and balance the competing desires for higher and lower lake levels, the outlet of Lake Waukewan should be operated to maintain a summer operating level of 540.0 feet on the lake, as measured by the gage located in the upstream canal. Information that DES collected as part of its investigation indicates that this level may be as much as five inches lower than the level at which the lake was maintained in recent years. In addition, in its decision DES is requiring that the operations of the dam be timely and aggressive so that Lake Waukewan is maintained at as consis-tent an elevation as possible to protect the shoreline and the aquatic habitat. To ensure compliance with this requirement, the dam owner must maintain an operational log, which documents each operation made to the outlet, and, for a period of two years from the date of this decision, provide to DES, within seven days following the last day of each month, the log for the month just ended. Moreover, to reduce the frequency and extent of flooding of the shoreline during the high runoff period in the spring, the dam owner must annually drawdown Lake Waukewan to elevation 538.5 feet, starting the drawdown on Columbus Day of each year with the goal of refilling Lake Waukewan to its summer level of 540.0 feet by May 15th of each year. As pointed out in the deci-sion, these winter drawdowns are needed to reduce the frequency and extent of flooding because the amount of runoff that occurs in April is, on aver-age, 10 times higher than the amount of runoff that occurs in August and September, for the same amount of rainfall.

Protection of the ecology was a primary objective of DES in this decision, and the operating plan estab-lished by the decision is supported by the information and data available on the effects of lake levels on the lakes. At the public forum held in Meredith on August 17, 2010, the regional biologist from the New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Department stated that there would be no impacts to the fisheries over the range of lake levels experienced in the past at Lake Waukewan, including the lower levels that may have been experi-enced during the pre-1983 management of the dam, and the higher lake levels experienced during the post-

1983 management of the dam.Regarding shoreline habitat, the Loon Preserva-

tion Committee noted that the lower lake levels under the interim level (539.5 feet) temporarily diminish the amount of suitable and easily acces-sible habitat in the short term, until the exposed shoreline is colonized by new plant growth (over the course of years). However, loons benefit primar-ily from stable water levels throughout the nesting season (early May to late July). By establishing a firm target level for this period, along with requir-ing timely and aggressive operations of the dam to maintain this level, DES’s decision will improve the shoreline habitat for loons on Lakes Waukewan and Winona. In addition, since the discharge capacity of the of the dam is approximately 25-percent higher at elevation 540.0 feet than it is at elevation 539.5 feet, fluctuations in the water level will be reduced.

Regarding water quality, as described in the Notice of Decision, water quality data collected annually since 1986 on Lake Winona and since 1990 on Lake Waukewan under DES’s Volunteer Lake Assessment Program (VLAP) show that concentrations of Total Phosphorous in the upper layers of both lakes are below the median concentration for all lakes in New Hampshire that are monitored, and generally below or consistent with the median concentration for similarly sized lakes in the state. In addition, these concentrations have shown a decreasing trend over the monitoring periods at both lakes. Also, based on the data on transparency, the clarity of both lakes is rated as exceptional. In view of this data, it does not appear that the post-1983 management of the outlet of Lake Waukewan has had a negative effect on the quality of the water in either lake.

Nevertheless, DES recognizes that significant flooding within the lakes can contribute to erosion of

the shoreline and affect septic systems, which could affect the quality of the water in the lakes. For this reason, DES has established a Final Operating Plan for Lake Waukewan that:

— Establishes a firm target level for the summer recreation months that is as much as 5 inches lower than the operating target level of recent years.

— Provides for a 1½-foot winter draw down to accommodate normally high spring inflows

— Requires that the operations of the dam be timely and aggressive so that Lake Waukewan is maintained at as consistent an elevation as possible to protect the shoreline

— Ensures compliance by requiring regular sub-mittal of the logs of the operations of the dam to DES.

of existing space. The estimated costs are $9,073,672.Also on the table is charrette Plan B — a 39,400

square-foot, multi-story addition along Dewey Street and a 22,000 square-foot renovation to the existing space. The estimated costs for this project are $11,993,000 — about $2.5-million over budget.

The real issue for the Huot Committee is whether or not the scaled back version meets the education goals and a lessor project justifies spending the money.

Of the $9.5-million budget, $2.5-million would be borrowed by the city while the other $7-million would come from the state budget that has passed in the N.H. House version of the capital budget and has passed through the Senate Capital Committee.

It needs to survive a full Senate vote, a commit-tee of conference between the two governing bodies and Gov. John Lynch’s veto pen — he did not include either Laconia or a southern tier technical center in his budget proposal.

Champlin said last night that the minimalist Plan F meets the education goals set by the State Depart-ment of Education. He also said the Huot is the “last approved project” before the moratorium on the N.H. School Building Aid reimbursement program, meaning Laocnia’s share should qualify for 40-per-cent state aid.

“It seems like polar extremes,” said Gary Groleau of New Hampshire Ball Bearings, Astro Division, one of the local industries that works with the Huot Center for its programming. “F is a lot of compro-mise for a little new space.”

Champlin said the next phase is to see how much of the full Plan B — the Dewey Street proposal can be built using the Plan F budget.

He said the Laconia Middle School construction used this system through alternative bids — for LMS there were 12 — and were ultimately able to incorporate all 12 and meet the established budget.

“We’re seeing this for the first time,” Champlin said reminding board members that the numbers are a “rough estimate” and not carved in stone.

“This is a process,” said Chad Monterose of Rist-Frost Shumway.

The CSA model has its roots in Europe and first spread to North America about 25 years ago. It would seem that each farm has its own interpre-tation of the CSA model, but they all have a few components in common. Prior to a growing season, consumers make a financial contribution to the farm which buys them a share of the farm’s success. The farmer is able to use the proceeds from CSA sales to cover the costs of planting and enjoys the security of knowing there’s a pre-arranged market for his or her crops.

However, there are other, less tangible bene-fits which local farmers pointed to when asked to explain the spread of CSAs.

John Moulton, owner of Moulton Farms in Mer-edith, said his farm began offering a CSA, which he referred to as “Farm Shares”, three years ago, after his customers asked him to start such a program. This year, his farm sold all of the 70 alotments of Farm Shares, each providing a half-bushel of veg-etables each week. Last year, he reported, 1,500 half-bushels of vegetables were marketed through the Farm Share program.

For Moulton, whose farm cultivates about 65 acres of crops, CSA sales represent what he called a “very small percentage” of his overall sales. However, he said there are benefits that can’t be measured in terms of bushels and dollars. For example, many CSA members report that they can’t eat all of their share and share with friends or neighbors, which serves as a form of marketing. Many also report being introduced to an unfamiliar vegetable, such as Swiss chard, because it came in their basket one week. “It’s a way for us to showcase our products,”

he said. “It’s very satisfying to put out these great products that our customers are liking.”

It might not be a major portion of sales at Moulton Farm, but for Patrice’s Farm in Gilford, CSA sales represent 100-percent of their business. Don McNulty, one of the owners of Patrice’s Farm, has collaborated with three other local farms to offer Big Banana CSA, which serves to collectively market produce from the four farms. This is the second year for Big Banana, and this year is busier than the first. McNulty sees the growth continuing until CSAs become a fixture on the produce-purchasing landscape, alongside farmers’ markets and super-markets.

Martina Howe, whose family operates Beans & Greens Farm in Gilford, is in its third season of its version of a CSA program. At this farm, participants pay in advance of the season and have that money, a minimum of $250, and a 20-percent bonus placed on a debit card for the program members to spend at the Beans & Greens farmstand. About 50 house-holds will participate this year. “It’s a great way to bring in money in spring when you’re desperate for money,” Howe said. “Spring is always tough.”

The Beans & Greens CSA will be continuing to develop in coming seasons, Howe said. There are plans to start including grass-fed beef, raw milk from a local dairy farm, and fish. “The whole thing goes together with the interest in where your food comes from,” she said.

Ward Bird’s family has been farming the land at Picnic Rock Farm in Meredith for more than two centuries. The farm on Rte. 3 South added a CSA option last year. At that farm, the model is similar to Moulton’s except Picnic Rock CSA members have

the option of paying a reduced fee in exchange for providing the farm with 10 hours of labor. “We try to get people involved, to get them to know the food they’re eating.” To his surprise, some of the members chose to return to the farm to volunteer long after their 10-hour quota had been filled.

The CSA, he said, “gives us the ability to get things up and running without having to worry about financing,” Bird said. Yet, he added, the reason Picnic Rock Farm added the CSA, and will continue to offer the program, isn’t about money. After all, he could get a better price for the produce distributed through the CSA if he were selling it at the farm stand. Bird noted that most Americans are no more than three generations removed from a life in agri-culture, and CSAs allow members “to get back to the

dirt, back to the soil.”Bird thinks it’s important for those

who are removed from agriculture to understand what it means to produce high quality food, what it means to be a small farmer. His children are the eighth generation of his family to enjoy life on a farm, however, laws and zoning rule changes could prevent the ninth and subsequent generations from being able to run a farm. He sees the CSA as a chance to develop a political alliance between farmers and those who consume their products.

Bill Lord, agriculture educator for the UNH Cooperative Extension of Belknap County, agrees with Bird’s conclusion. He thinks CSAs are impor-tant for the future of local agriculture. The models tend to be most useful to small, vegetable farms, which are on the rise and represent much of the recent steady growth in the number of farms in Belknap County. There are about 200 farms in the county, according to the most recent agricul-ture census, which tells him that agri-culture is a “critical” industry for the local economy.

“I think CSAs provide farms with a certain base of sales so they can

plan for production. It’s like having a piece of the business that’s pretty secure,” Lord said. “It also creates a tremendous amount of support for the local farm. Each one of those families becomes an advocate for agriculture.”

Emily Bird, Ward’s daughter, was working on the farm on Monday after-noon during a break from classes at the University of New Hampshire, where she’s studying civil engineer-ing and justice. She’d like the farm to persevere and she would be willing to help her siblings operate it. CSAs, she thinks, will make it more likely that she’ll have that opportunity. “They’re a really good idea,” she said. “If I didn’t work here, I would probably do it.”

Glenn Crawford, at Maggie Mae Farm, sees the time as right for a resurgence of local, small farms. Books and movies, such as Food, Inc., have shed an unfavorable light on modern, large-scale agriculture. “More and more people are becoming aware of our food system and how broken it really is. With the CSAs, they can talk to the local farmer, see the farm.” He encouraged interested consumers to do just that. “A lot of farmers like to share. We want people to have good food, that’s why we do it.”

by Laconia Police said Lapierre was punched once and kicked twice in the face during the evening of May 2, allegedly by 37-year-old Jason A. Durgin. He faces two counts of second degree assault and last week Judge James Carroll ordered him held on $100,000 cash-only bail.

Acording to police, the two men, along with a woman who witnessed the assault, were sharing a trailer on the property of the Quik Laundry at 399 South Main St. when they had an argument regarding the hot water heater.

According to the woman, who was apparently staying in the home, Durgin allegedly became upset when Lapierre began banging on it.

She told police she saw Durgin punch Lapierre hard enough in the face that he appeared to be uncon-scious. She said he also kicked Lapi-erre in the face twice and told her to mind her own business or she would be next.

The woman told city police she locked herself in her bedroom for the night but heard Durgin order Lapi-erre out of the trailer. She said she heard the door open and shut again, as if someone was leaving.

The next morning she told police her boyfriend came to the trailer at 11 a.m. and told her Lapierre was lying outside and was not responsive or breathing. The woman called 9-1-1 and Lapierre was taken to the Lakes Region General Hospital and then to Dartmouth Hitch-cock Medical Center in Lebanon.

After a day on the run, Laconia Police arrested Durgin without incident as he was trying to return to the trailer.

Belknap County Corrections Super-intendent confirmed Durgin was still confined in the county jail and, accord-ing to yesterday’s docket at the Laco-nia District Court, he is scheduled to appear Friday at 9 a.m. for a proba-ble cause hearing on the two second-degree assault charges.

Strelzin said the Laconia Police Department Prosecutor would be han-dling that appearance.

Laconia City Code Enforcement Officer Bill Stewart condemned the trailer last week as uninhabitable, and, aside from a bouquet of flowers in front of the structure, the trailer now appears unoccupied.

Paquette-Nuen Funeral Home is handling Lapierre’s final arrange-ments which include a memorial service at the Sant Bani Ashram Sat-urday at 1 p.m.

Law enforcement officials say this now unoccupied mobil home at 399 South Main Street in Laconia was the scene of a beating that led to the death of 55-year-old Leo Lapierre. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

Steve Whalley and his daughter Lisa Meeken, both of whom help to run HK Powersports, are shown here in the showroom of the com-pany’s Laconia store. Later this month, the Tilton store will close and its stock, brands and staff will be consolidated into the Laconia location. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

LACONIA — Later this month, HK Powersports will close its Tilton location and consolidate the brands, staff, service and parts into its location here on Union Avenue. A representative of the family-run company said the move will allow for all brands to be sold, service and supplied with parts in one loca-tion.

The consolidation will not affect the HK Powers-ports store in Hooksett.

Lisa Meeken, manager of HK Powesports and a member of the Whalley family that owns the busi-ness, said the consolidation was triggered when a local auto dealership made an unsolicited bid for the real estate on Route 140 where the Tilton store has been located since 2004. Taken aback by the offer, the family decided that the move could allow for a power sport “superstore” at the Laconia property.

The Laconia store, in operation since 1984, has sold and serviced motorcycles, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and accessories from makers such

as Kawasaki, Polaris, Arctic Cat and Yamaha, while brands Seadoo, Skidoo, Can-Am, Honda and Suzuki were sold in Tilton.

“We’re excited that we can bring every brand under one roof,” said Meeken. She assured that no positions would be eliminated as a result of the con-solidation, nor would any brands be dropped. Ser-vice and parts supply departments at the Union Avenue location have been doubled in anticipation of the added staff.

With more staff on hand, Meeken said the store will expand its business hours and will host more events and promotions.

The Laconia property, said Meeken, “is a lot bigger than people think.” Sitting on 4.5 acres and featur-ing several buildings, Meeken said the business has enough space to display all product lines and has room to expand as sales grow. The powersports industry, buffetted by winds of the economy, weather patterns and gasoline prices, has been slow since 2008, though snowmobile sales this winter were

The Tilton store will continue operating through May 14. On May 17, the Laconia location will re-open as the consolidated “powersports superstore.” A grand opening celebration will be held in coming weeks.

The Hooksett store, which was the first location for HK Powersports, has traditionally been the volume leader among the three stores and has typi-cally sold twice as much as the Laconia store. With the consolidated brands and staff, Meeken hoped the Laconia sales could rival those of the Hooksett store. She’ll get a sense of how realistic that hope is on Memorial Day weekend, when their summer sales season jumps to life. “We’re excited to be staffed up and geared up for that,” she said.

LACONIA — Speaking at a budget workshop this week, Director of Public Works Paul Moynihan told the City Council that the 2011-2012 sanitary sewer fund budget will require an increase in sewer rates of as much as 30-percent, which will be followed by further rate hikes in the next two years.

The sanitary sewer fund is a so-called enterprise fund, which defrays its operating costs capital outlays with operating revenue from sewer rates and interest income on retained earnings. However, Finance Direc-tor Pam Reynolds explained that since 2008-2009 the fund has posted an operating deficit, which rose from $62,680 to $540,855 in 2009-2011 and is projected to reach $500,000 again this year. The 2011-2012 budget projects the operating deficit will top $1-million.

Reynolds traced the rising deficits to three fac-tors. As the sluggish economy and greater conserva-tion have dampened water sales, the proceeds from sewer charges, which are billed on water usage, have dwindled. Between 2009 and 2010 revenues slipped 5.5-percent from $2.8-million to $2.6-million. As interest rates plummeted interest income dropped more sharply, from $114,460 in 2008 to $37,033, and are budget to shrink to $12,000 next year.

Above all, expenses of the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program (WRBP), which collects and treats the city’s sewage, are rising. Laconia’s share of the WRBP budget, which represents approximately

Jump in Laconia sewer rates on the horizontwo-thirds of the sanitary sewer fund budget, rose 27-percent between 2007 and 2010 and is slated to increase another 3-percent in 2011-2012. Moynihan reminded the council that the WRBP has advised the 10 member municipalities that the Franklin Wastewater Treatment Plant and the sewer system — pump stations as well as gravity and force mains — which date from the early 1970s, require major capital investments.

Reynolds said that in anticipation of these invest-ments the Finance Department and Department of Public Works are preparing recommendations for rate adjustments in the next three years, begin-ning with the 30-percent increase in January 2012. She said that the most significant factor will be the decision of the WRBP to pursue or scuttle plans to install an ultra-violet disinfectant system at the wastewater treatment plant at an estimated cost of $5-million to $6-million.

Sewer rates were last increased in January 2007. “We’re playing catch-up,” Reynolds said. “Water rates have been increased incrementally, but sewer rates have not.” Based on average annual house-hold usage, Laconia’s sewer rate of $395 is near the state average and among the lowest in the region, where rates range from $201 in Belmont to $756 in Meredith, she said.

Without doubting the need to raise sewer rates, City Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) emphasized that “ we owe the public an explanation.”

hood just outside Vicksburg. He said he had not had a hot meal since water started coming into his house a few days ago. On Tuesday, the house was under at least 3 feet water, as were dozens of other homes in the neighbor-hood. Nearby, his brother Milton cast a fishing rod.

“At least we can catch something fresh to eat, because we ain’t got no icebox or electricity,” he said with a smile. Then the pair playfully debated whether they would actually eat anything caught in the filthy floodwaters.

“If you eat a fish right now, you won’t live to see the water go down,” William Jefferson said.

Jimmy Mitchell, 46, and his wife and two children

have been living in a loaned camper for more than week at a civic arena in Tunica.

“There’s no sewage hookup. You go in a barn to take a shower,” said Mitchell, who is from the small community of Cutoff. “We have no time frame on how long we can stay.”

As Mitchell and friends sat outside chatting in the breeze, children rode bikes nearby.

“Cutoff is a community where everybody lives from paycheck to paycheck. It’s also a community where everybody sticks together,” Mitchell said.

As the water rose, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour moved furniture out of his lake house outside Vicksburg on family land that was inundated during the 1927 flood.

Moultonborough to dedicate Liberty Tree Memorial on May 14

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Lib-erty Tree Memorial, a living growing tribute to our country’s freedom and founding, will be dedicated on the grounds in the Town Park at noon on Saturday, May 14.

Residents are invited to the dedica-tion, which will feature a reading of the “Liberty Tree” poem by Thomas Paine. Made possible by a grant through the Liberty Tree Society, the Town received the ceremonial disease-resistant Amer-ican Liberty Elm, and a Liberty Tree Memorial plaque with an inscription that recounts the history of Boston’s Liberty Tree, an American elm that was the rallying place for the Sons of Liberty in the American Revolution.

Inspired by these Patriots whose efforts were immortalized by the origi-nal Liberty Tree, Elm Research Insti-tute (ERI) in Keene developed the Liberty Tree Memorial to commemo-rate the day this famous tree was chopped down by angry Red Coats.

In order to bring this first symbol of Freedom to Americans everywher, the Institute has established the Liberty Tree Society with a four-fold mission: First, to fulfill the goal of seeing all 50 states recognize this day; second, to dedicate Liberty Tree Memorials

in 1000 communities; third, to tell the exciting story of the Liberty Tree in classrooms across the land; and fourth, to continue the “Re-Elming” of America by planting disease-resis-tant American Liberty Elms in public spaces nationwide.

For more than 20 years, Elm Research Institute has been estab-lishing Liberty Tree Memorials in communities across the country to commemorate the birth of freedom and help restore the American elm. The Town of Moultonborough is the site of one of 440 Liberty Tree Memo-rials in the country. ERI was estab-lished in 1967 with the purpose of saving the American elm from extinc-tion. ERI sponsored genetic research that resulted in the American Lib-erty Elm, a purebred descendant of disease-resistant American elms. It is the only elm with a Lifetime Warranty against Dutch Elm disease. Over 300,000 have been planted since 1984.

For information about the Ameri-can Liberty Elm or the Liberty Tree Memorial program, phone Elm Research Institute at 1 (800) 367-3567, visit www.elmresearch.org, or write to Elm Research Institute, 11 Kit Street, Keene, NH 03431.

OBITUARIESJoan D. Gardner, 68

LAWRENCE, Mass. — Joan D. Gard-ner, 68, of Lawrence, MA died Monday, May 9th at Merrimack County Hospice House in Haverhill, surrounded by her loving family, following a long, courageous battle against cancer and a rare neuro-logical disorder called Multiple System Atrophy (MSA).

Joan was born in Somerville, MA on October 18, 1942, the daughter of the late Venerio and Doris (Winship) Baldacci. She graduated from Tewksbury High School in 1960.

Joan was an avid sports fan who closely followed all of the Boston teams. She especially enjoyed watching the Red Sox, Patriots, and Celtics. She enjoyed going out for dinner and going to the movies with friends, watching plays, and reading. But Joan’s greatest love was being a mother. Her main focus in life was her four children, and later on, her seven grandchildren.

Joan is survived by her former husband, Richard Gardner; a daughter, Gayle Gardner; three sons, Steven, David, and Matthew Gardner; two sisters, Donna Rudd and Diane Arsenault; seven grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Michael Baldacci.

An hour of gathering will be held at 4:00 pm with

a memorial service following immediately at 5:00 pm on Friday, May 13th at the Cre-mation Society of New Hampshire, 243 Hanover Street in Manchester, NH. Grave-side committal will take place at 11:00am on Saturday, May 14th at Holy Cross Cem-etery, 175 Broadway in Malden, MA.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations in Joan’s memory be made for MSA research to Vanderbilt Shy-Drager Research Fund c/o Vanderbilt Uni-

versity Gift Processing PMB 407727 Nashville, TN 37240-7727 Pease make checks payable to “Vander-bilt Medical Center”.

The walk-a-thon is our only major fundraiser during the course of the year, and we hope that this year the turn out will be the best ever. Individual walkers generate most of the money for us at this annual event.”

“Because of the econ-omy and the fact that the cost of building is so high in the Lakes Region, we really need the local community to come out and get involved this year,” continued Deschennes. “Nassau Broadcast-ing has volunteered to help promote this years event, so we are hoping for a large turn-out. If people just want to come by for refresh-ments and to make a donation, there will be a

large donation jar available.”Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity has been pro-

viding decent, affordable housing in the Lakes Region since 1982 and has completed 30 homes during that time. They are currently beginning work on their 31st home, which will be a rehab of a house in Franklin.

Pledge sheets and more information are available

by calling 279-4820 or visiting www.lrhabitat.org. Pledge sheets will also be available at the walk-a-thon registration desk.

Winni Players to hold auditions for two early fall productions May 15 – 17LACONIA — The Winni Players, the community

theatre wing of the Winnipesaukee Playhouse, will hold auditions for its two early Fall productions at the Meredith campus on May 15, 16, and 17.

On Sunday, May 15 and Tuesday, May 17 at 7 p.m. auditions for “Nunsense II” will be held. The sequel to the hit musical “Nunsense,” which the Players performed in the fall of 2007 to sold-out audiences,

“Nunsense II” will be directed by Rick Morten and music directed by Christine Chiasson, the team behind the successful 2007 production. The musi-cal has roles for five women ranging in ages from 20s — 50s.

Auditioners should bring sheet music and be pre-pared to sing a short song displaying comic ability and range. Readings will be from the script. Audi-

tioners should dress comfortably and be ready for improvisation and movement/dance. Rehearsals will be on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday eve-nings beginning in July. Performances will be Sep-tember 30 — October 9.

On Monday, May 16 at 7 p.m. the Players will be auditioning for “The Guys,” which will be performed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Written by Anne Nelson, the play is about a New York City fire chief who is asked to write eulogies for eight firefighters from his company lost on that fate-ful day. Dealing with his own grief and struggling to find the words for the speeches, the chief pairs up with a writer looking for her own way to contrib-ute to helping the city put itself back together after the terrorist attacks. Directed by Matt McGonagle, two actors will be cast for “The Guys” — one woman, early to late 30s; and one man, early to mid-fifties.

Readings will be from the script, and it is recom-mended that auditioners familiarize themselves with the play ahead of time. Auditioners who would like to present their own prepared monologue are welcome to do so. Rehearsals will be Monday and Thursday evenings beginning July 11. Five per-formances will be given September 8 — 11. Actors must also be available to participate in the 2011 NH Community Theatre Festival in Manchester on the weekend of September 24 — 25.

New faces are always welcome at auditions. Women will be allowed to audition for both produc-tions, but will be asked to indicate which show would be their preference if both directors were interested in casting them. For more information, e-mail info@winniplayhouse.org.

ASHLAND — Ashland churches invite the com-munity to enjoy free breakfast from 8 — 10 a.m. on the second, third, and fourth Saturdays in May.

“A few days after Easter, 2,000 years ago, the risen Christ Jesus made breakfast for his disciples beside the Sea of Galilee,” explained the Rev. Celeste Hemingson, priest at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Ashland. “According to the Gospel of John chap-ter 21, verse 12, Jesus invited them, saying ‘Come, and have Breakfast.’ This is our way of following Him.”

Breakfasts will be offered throughout the year at different churches each week: Second Saturdays

(starting May 14) at the Ashland Methodist Church; third Saturdays (starting May 21) at the Ashland Baptist Church; fourth Saturdays (starting May 28) at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.

The three churches hope that other organizations may eventually come forward to offer breakfast on the first and fifth Saturdays. The Ashland Method-ist Church already serves a community breakfast on the second Saturday of each month, a commu-nity service started several years ago. The three churches hope that by expanding the program to other Saturdays, it will become better known and reach more people in town.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your energy remains high when you don’t stick with any one focus for too long. You will excel with short-term assign-ments and situations that have a defi -nite endpoint. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s an ethereal feeling to the day. The work you have to do may seem more mys-tical than practical. Succeeding in this will require a certain abdication of logic and convention. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do a lot in the spirit of common decency that you think others would do, as well. It will be clearly illustrated today that not everyone got the memo. It might help you to think of yourself as a teacher and leader. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Forg-ing the bonds of friendship is often so much fun that you don’t see it as work. But sometimes it is work, and you’ll do what it takes to respect, defend and maintain this bond. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many talents, but the best one of all is your ability to make the day better for yourself and everyone around you. You will spread beautiful vibes wherever you go. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because a saying is witty doesn’t mean it’s true. But if the statement is really funny -- so funny you can’t stop laugh-ing -- there must be some degree of truth to it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not messing around. On the mundane matters, you’ll show no mercy. Some-thing may sound good or look good on paper, but if it doesn’t work well in real life, you’ll drop it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t have to be the best in the whole world. You only have to be the best in the competition -- and probably today that means being the best in the room. You can do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is so active now that it’s not easy to center your thoughts on the needs of others. However, when you do this and act in accordance, you create excitement, interest and sales. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For your idea to be accepted by the decision-makers above you, they have to want to like it. Success depends on giving them a reason to want to like it, and then giving them something worth liking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You get around in new ways. You rely on your phone and computer more, that’s true. But you also listen more astutely to your intuition and act on what you hear. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Fin-ishing what you start will be a big deal now. It’s a matter of dignity. You gain self-esteem knowing that you com-pleted the cycle. Also, you just want to get on with your life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 11). You’ll be chosen for a special position because of the high level of respect you command from and give to others. Life is smooth as you seek relation-ships with those who learn easily and work peacefully. August and Novem-ber bring a fi nancial bonus. You’ll be awarded in March. December brings a happy family event. Gemini and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 20, 16, 15 and 37.

THURSDAY, MAY 12

The Altrusa Club of Meredith is distributing “File of Life” refrigerator magnets — tiny folders contain-ing a person’s medical history and primary care provider information. Lisa Davis (second from right), Community Service chairman, explains the “File of Life” to participants at the Meredith Senior Center including (left ro right) Becky Carey, director of the Center, Barbara Heiligman, and Mary Sharples. (Courtesy photo)

MEREDITH — The Altrusa Club is distrib-uting free “File of Life” refrigerator magnets, tiny folders containing a person’s medical his-tory and primary care provider information.

During a medical emergency, seconds count. Health profes-sionals need to know a patient’s medi-cal conditions, aller-gies, and medications before giving treat-ment. Unfortunately this essential informa-tion is often not read-ily available because the patient is unable to answer questions. Family members may be too stressed to give an accurate history.

To solve this poten-tially life-threatening problem, Altrusa is distribut-ing the “File of Life” refrigerator magnets so that, when responding to an emergency, ambulance per-sonnel will look for it, enabling them to start appro-priate treatment right away.

Those who have complicated medical histories, take

multiple medications, or live alone are especially urged to have a “File of Life,” available from Altrusa at P.O. Box 760, Meredith. Altrusa has also provided them to Community Caregivers of Center Harbor and Mere-dith, the Meredith Public Health Nursing Association, the Meredith Senior Center, and Meals on Wheels.

PLYMOUTH — Works by student, faculty, and guest choreographers will be presented during the annual May Contemporary Dance Ensemble (CDE) Recital at Plymouth State University’s Silver Center for the Arts at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 13.

Recipients of scholarships and talent grants for academic year 2011-2012 will be recognized during the program, which PSU Dance Director Amanda Whitworth called, “not only a great show, but some of the most fabulous and creative dancing we have ever seen from our student choreographers.”

Works have been choreographed by a number of students including Mackenzie Perra, a senior inter-disciplinary studies major from Goffstown; Jessica White, a senior communication studies major from Center Harbor; Brooke Ross, a junior childhood studies major from New London; and Nicole Baroni, a junior criminal justice major from Atkinson; and the PSU Dance Team.

Faculty choreographers are Lois Hanks, ballet/pointe; Lisa Travis, modern; Lenore Sousa, bur-lesque; Amanda Whitworth, contemporary; and Aaron Tolson, tap. The concert will be Tolson’s last show with the CDE before he moves to New York City to pursue his career as producer and choreogra-pher in “Imagine Tap,” a show he co-created. Tolson will also teach at STEPS on Broadway.

New York artist Pamela Pietro will be guest cho-rographer for the program. Pietro is assistant arts professor and master teacher of dance at New York University. She has performed and directed across the U.S. and internationally.

Tickets for the Contemporary Dance Ensemble recital are $11 for adults, $8 for seniors and youth at the Silver Center Box Offi ce, 535-ARTS (2787) or (800) 779-3869.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I live in a small condominium community of 24 units. Two units down, there is an older woman who is a hoarder. She continually has trash piled up by her front door and back porch. When you look through her glass slid-ing doors, you can see trash from fl oor to ceiling. She piles up garbage on her car, and it sits there for several days be-fore she takes it to the dumpster. She also has two dogs, and we never see her walking them. This has been going on for the past 15 years. The board of directors of our condo association has tried everything from calling the county municipal department to notifying animal control. The board has fi ned her for vari-ous misdemeanors, such as not allowing pest control in her unit and leaving all that trash around, but it makes no dif-ference. The woman does not talk to anyone in the community, and we never see friends or family visit. We are all afraid of what that unit looks like inside. Any suggestions? -- Condo Owner Dear Owner: Hoarding is a form of mental illness, and this woman likely needs professional help. Since you can see the trash inside her home, as well as outside, it may con-stitute evidence that her hoarding has created a health code violation and the Dept. of Health could order her to clean it up. There may also be a fi re hazard, in which case the condominium board should notify the fi re department. As a last resort, the condo board could sue her. Ask the board to discuss this problem with their association attorney to see what steps can be taken. Dear Annie: My wife and I are friends with “Mike” and “Marty,” who are in their early 20s, a bit younger than we are. Mike and Marty pick fi ghts over the most ridiculous things, and even if you make a good point, they won’t agree.

They do things they know will bother or offend us, such as when they make anti-religious comments. They also seem unappreciative of things we have done for them. I helped Mike work on his car and was never thanked for it. We have had them over for dinner more than once and have yet to be told “thank you” or to receive an invite to their place. They sometimes say nice things on Facebook about their other friends, but never about us. I honestly enjoy hanging out with Mike and Marty, but the little fi ts they have over ridiculous things are getting old. Lately, we’ve stopped communicating, just to see what will happen. It would be nice to be appreciated for our ef-forts. How do we handle this? -- Unappreciated in Massa-chusetts Dear Massachusetts: You are at a different point in your life than Mike and Marty. What you have in common is no longer so obvious. We are not sure why you wish to main-tain a friendship with people who do not seem to appreciate you, but since you do, try to understand their limitations and accept them as they are. And if they say something of-fensive, by all means, ask them to stop. Dear Annie: You printed a letter I wrote that I signed, “Still Here Doing This.” I told you that I was married to a mentally ill, emotionally abusive man. I stayed for the chil-dren, who now rarely visit. I wanted to let you know that I am not “still here” any-more. I fi nally mustered the courage to leave when it was apparent that my husband was only getting worse. I had the police remove him from our home, took out a restrain-ing order and fi led for divorce. I encourage anyone who is married to such a person to get out. I have no regrets. The emotional and physical abuse needed to end. -- Not There Anymore
