MEREDITH — “When you do good things, good things will happen,” Inter-Lakes Elemen-tary School Assistant Princi-pal Kathleen Mulcahy told a school-wide assembly yester-day morning.

Principal Steve Kelly, joining Mulcahy in front of the assem-bly, then invited Guidance Counselor Shirley Jacob to the stage, where she was treated to a chair festooned with balloons, a cape and a tiara. “She’s helped so many of us over the years,” Kelly said. “Today, something good is happening to her.”

That “something good” was receiving the honor of “Guid-ance Counselor of the Year,” as awarded by the New Hamp-shire School Guidance Coun-selor Association. Only one elementary guidance counselor in the state is given the honor per year.

Robin Hogan, representing the Counselor Association, read statements from co-workers submitted in their nomination: “Mrs. Jacob is an incredibly gifted, dedicated, and creative school counselor who has had a dramatic and powerful impact on our students, our school, and our school community... Mrs. Jacobs encompasses every-thing special and positive that most school counselors aspire to become... Mrs. Jacob is a gen-uine human being. Her infec-tious laugh, her tears, and her smile are the characteristics that make her an outstanding counselor, teacher and friend... Mrs. Jacob is truly a special person.”

After receiving her accolades, Jacob showed her resolve by gathering her emotions enough to address the assembly. “I’m a little overwhelmed, but I want you to know how much I enjoy working here and working with all of you... This award is yours as well as mine because I

GILFORD — What moved one well-known resident to litter the lawn and driveway of another from time to time for nearly two years may never be known, but these acts cost a former chairman of the School Board nearly $600 in fi nes.

In January, Kent Baron, 54, of 23 Heather Lane was charged with two counts of littering on November 11 and December 3, 2010, both violations, and with-out contesting the charges he paid fi nes of $297.60 for each count.

Conceivably he could have faced stiffer charges, since the littering statute (RSA 265:102) applies only to public, not private, property.

According to the affi davit in support of the warrant for Bar-on’s arrest, John Goodhue of 84 School House Hill Road — long-time chairman of the town’s Con-servation Commission — began fi nding trash and garbage in and around his driveway in 2009 , but only reported the incidents to the police in the summer of 2010 after removing a large quantity of nails from his driveway.

Last October, after patrol offi cer Kris Kloetz found shredded news-paper and food wrappers, detec-tives Kris Kelley and Chris Jacques undertook an investigation, which began by mounting a surveillance camera in Goodhue’s home.

Between October 22 and Decem-ber 3, trash appeared on six occa-sions,. Three times, on November

AJDABIYA, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s ground forces recaptured a strategic oil town Wednesday and moved within striking distance of another major eastern city, nearly reversing the gains rebels made since international airstrikes began. Rebels pleaded for more help, while a U.S. official said government forces are making themselves harder to target by using civilian “battle wagons” with make-shift armaments instead of tanks.

Western powers kept up the pressure to force Gadhafi out with new airstrikes in other parts of Libya, hints that they may arm the

opposition and intense negotiations behind the scenes to find a country to give haven to Libya’s leader of more than 40 years.

Also on Wednesday, an American official and former U.S. intelligence officer told The Associated Press that CIA operatives were sent to Libya this month after the agency’s station in the capital was forced to close. CIA officers also assisted in rescu-ing one of two crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.

Even as it advanced militarily, Gadhafi’s

regime suffered a blow to its inner circle with the apparent defection of Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa. Koussa flew from Tunisia to an airport outside London and announced he was resigning from his post, according to a statement from the British government.

Moussa Ibrahim, a Libyan government spokesman in Tripoli, denied that the for-eign minister has defected saying he was in London on a “diplomatic mission.”

It was not immediately possible to con-firm either statement with Moussa or

CONCORD (AP) — The New York woman posted a Craigslist ad seeking housing, saying she was looking to make a “fresh start” in New England.

What she found instead, police say, was a New Hampshire town official who held her cap-tive in his home for three days and raped her.

Salem planning board member Jeffrey Gray was arraigned Wednes-day on rape, kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault charges. He was being held on bond, and his lawyer, Mark Ste-vens, declined to com-ment on when he might post it.

Gray, 48, has a record of arrests for crimi-nal threatening and criminal mischief and a history of restrain-ing orders linked to domestic abuse, Wind-ham Police Capt. Mike Caron said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday called for a one-third reduction in U.S. oil imports by 2025, reviving a long-elusive goal of reduc-ing America’s dependence on foreign sup-plies as political unrest rocks the Middle East and gasoline prices rise at home.

Tackling an issue that has vexed nearly every U.S. president since Richard Nixon, Obama said the country can’t solve the prob-lem with quick fixes and political gimmicks. But he offered little in the way of new ini-

Obama sets ambitious goal to reduce U.S. oil imports by 1/3tiatives, relying instead on a litany of energy proposals he’s already called for, including boosting domestic oil production, increas-ing the use of biofuels and natural gas, and making vehicles more energy efficient.

Obama also embraced nuclear power as a critical part of America’s energy future, despite increased safety concerns follow-ing the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that severely damaged a nuclear power plant there. He vowed a thorough safety review of all U.S. plants, incorporating les-

sons learned from Japan, but said nuclear power still holds enormous potential for the U.S.

“We can’t simply take it off the table,” Obama said during a nearly hour-long speech at Georgetown University.

Moving the U.S. away from its depen-dence on foreign oil and toward clean energy technologies was a key part of the domestic agenda Obama outlined in his January State of the Union address. That

LETTERSRead a few articles that are well thought out & backed by facts

Michelle Malkin

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner toasted the one-year anniver-sary of Obamacare last week — and accidentally spilled his champagne glass all over the disastrous, one-size-fits-all mandate. Ostensibly one of the federal health care law’s staunchest defenders, Weiner exposed its ulti-mate folly by pushing for a special cost-saving regulatory exemption for New York City.

If it’s good for the city Weiner wants to be mayor of, why not for each and every individual American and American business that wants to be free of Obamacare’s shackles?

Weiner joins a bevy of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s” loudest cheerleaders — unions, foundations and left-leaning corporations — in clamoring for more waivers for favors. (The list of federal waiver recipients now tops 1,000, covering more than 2.6-mil-lion workers.) And he follows a gaggle of health care takeover-pro-moting Democrats maneuvering on Capitol Hill for get-out-of-Obam-acare loopholes.

At a speech before the George Soros-supported Center for Ameri-can Progress, as reported by Polit-ico.com, Weiner revealed that he’s “in the process now of trying to see if we can take (President Barack Obama) up on” a favor waiver and is “taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.” Echoing all the Republican critics of Obam-acare who objected to top-down rules that override local variations in health care expenditures, Weiner explained: “I’m just looking inter-nally to whether the city can save money and have more control over its own destiny.”

More local control over taxpayers’ destiny, eh? Give that man a “Hands Off My Health Care” sign, a Gads-den flag and a tea party member-ship card ASAP!

I kid, of course. The ultimate agenda of many waiver-seekers is

Wormhole waiversto create a wormhole path to even more radical restructuring of the health system. Weiner has brazenly called for a single-payer “public option” to replace Obamacare should it be repealed. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon has also crusaded for more Kabuki “flexibil-ity” in the law through a bipartisan state waiver proposal.

But as The Heritage Foundation noted, the plan “simply changes a date on an existing ‘state innovation’ provision of Obamacare from 2017 to 2014 — still well after the federal Obamacare infrastructure has been cemented in place.” And it is essen-tially “a back-door vehicle for pro-gressive states to enact the ‘public option’ and speed up the establish-ment of a single-payer system for health care.” White House health care advisers Nancy-Ann DeParle and Stephanie Cutter further rein-forced in a conference call to lib-eral advocates that the bill would help states implement single-payer health care plans, such as those tested in Connecticut and Vermont.

Weiner argues that the waiver process dispels “this notion that the government is shoving the bill down people’s throats.” But only the politically connected, deep-pocketed, lawyered-up and Beltway-savvy can apply. And the White House refuses to shed more light on its decision-making process. Obama’s selective favor waivers simply underscore the notion that unaccountable regula-tory bureaucrats are presiding over government by the cronies, for the cronies and of the cronies.

Real control over our destinies means flexibility and choice for all. Repeal is the ultimate democratic waiver.

Failed officeholders are entirely at liberty to air their opinionsTo the editor,

Rarely does a week go by without the readers of The Daily Sun being subjected to an indignant outburst from one of the 2010 election losers. Or in the case of former senator Kathy Sgambati, given column space in Tues-day’s paper, political criticism from someone who declined to place her record before the voters last Novem-ber. Their message, invariably shrill and one-note, is always the same: The current legislature is a menace, primi-tive in its social outlook and mean spirited with the budget axe.

How ironic. Were it not for the divi-sive social agenda enacted by these former officeholders and/or their incompetent handling of budget-ary matters, New Hampshire voters might not have been so antagonized

last fall and many of your grievants might still hold their offices. As it is, the citizenry has spoken and the mess that has been left in Concord must be cleaned up by others, most of whom who hold views different than those of Sgambati, et al. And these new legis-lators are entitled to more than three months to fix the problems that their predecessors took years to create.

Failed officeholders are, of course, entirely at liberty to air their opin-ions. But a decent respect for voter will, if not some sense of humility, should prompt election losers to hold their tongues for awhile — or at least until is time for them to run for office again.

Bill LambMeredith

To the editor,Ah, the mystery person from Gil-

manton known as L.J. (Liberal Justi-fyer?) strikes again, full of sound and fury and signifying what? His March 22nd letter asserts agreement with Mr. Valengavich that Jack Stephenson is beating a dead horse. He then goes on to beat a dead horse. To bring up the notion that to question anything about our current president is “abject fear mongering and racism” is indeed abusing the noble, conservative steed. Yep, we have no right to know any-thing about our dear leader despite the fact that he has sealed all his records from elementary school through col-lege and all medical records. Yeah, none of our business because it’s not like he is in the role of the most pow-erful person on the planet. Oh, and his birth certificate? It bothers you not in the least that he has spent about two million bucks fighting lawsuits to keep from showing an original long-form birth certificate. Now, I believe he was likely born in Hawaii, but he is clearly hiding something. This issue is anything but a dead horse and his avoidance of the issue will likely hurt him in the 2012 elections. His election run may also be diminished now that folks are finally aware of the fact that many of his closest associates past and present are communists. Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers and Ber-nardine Dohrn are a matter of public record. Van Jones and Anita Dunn were summarily banished when their communist backgrounds became too much of an embarrassment. If that doesn’t matter to you either, then per-haps I should address you as Com-rade Siden.

Your feeble attempt to marginalize Gene Danforth was, well, like watch-ing a dehydrated man trying to spit into the wind. Unfortunately, diversity in today’s world is largely a falsehood as Gene asserted. It has been co-opted by multiculturalism and political cor-rectness. No longer do immigrants need to assimilate into American soci-ety as our ancestors did so proudly. Particularly if they are Muslim. Sepa-rate but equal is their motto and “Live by Sharia Law or die” is their cry.

There are many moderate Muslims who have assimilated and other who want to, but some are intimidated by the growing radical element steeped in the stealth method known as taqi-yya which flies below the radar of the fifth column, otherwise known as the mainstream media.

Academic freedom is absolutely and totally a falsehood. Academia has largely been co-opted by a “new age liberal agenda”. Unrepentant mad bomber, Bill Ayers is a professor who teaches our children. There are many other Marxist types like him instruct-ing our next generation. School voucher systems, merit pay, charter schools, home schooling, rewarding good teachers, streamlining tenure and severely limiting public sector unions are all very bad things within the world of most liberals and Demo-crats. Conservatives like those ideas and yet according to you oxymoronic folks, that makes us haters of teachers and children. Google “rubber rooms for New York teachers” and then tell us all what you think. I urge you to go watch the documentary, “Waiting for Superman”, it just might be an epiphany for you.

Here’s a thought for you LJ., check out americanthinker.com and read a few of their articles. They are well thought out and backed by honest to goodness facts as opposed to places like Media Matters. You see LJ, by consuming mainstream media’s redundant rantings and believing in a system of “nanny statism”, you, as a liberal, are acting like spoiled, angry children rebelling against the normal responsibilities of adulthood while demanding that a parental govern-ment meet your needs from cradle to grave. If you have children or grand-children, I would hope that is not the kind of role model you would want to be for them. As a recovering liberal, I understand the importance of both sides keeping an open mind in order to have a healthy and productive dia-logue. I do wish you the best and look forward to reading more of your let-ters to the editor.

LETTERSRobert Selig needs to retire & the rest of board needs to step upTo the editor,

Bravo to Councilor Bob Hamel for speaking up against the re-appoint-ment of Robert Selig on the library board of trustees. It is long overdue to question Mr. Selig’s “performance.”

I know whereof I speak. In 1999, after years of dysfunction at Laconia Public Library, I was appointed as a library trustee. There had been a board in place for decades prior, which had no idea what its true function was, and it allowed many questionable employ-ment practices to go on, to the library’s detriment. Morale suffered, and the facility itself deteriorated.

After I was appointed, knowing that I had fully researched the true func-tion of what the library trustee’s role was, and understood the ongoing per-sonnel problems, four trustees quit in one day. It made headlines, and there was great turmoil for several weeks, but eventually new trustees were appointed/elected by the city council, among them, Robert Selig.

At his fi rst board of trustee meeting, he brought a city attorney, and a pre-sentation of RSA 91-A was made, the state’s Right to Know Law. I happen to have been well aware of it; Mr. Selig, obviously, not so much. In fact, Attorney Bates met with Mr. Selig and several other trustees prior to the meeting, to execute their own stealth agenda. That bogus meeting wasn’t noticed, nor were there any minutes- blatant violations of RSA-91A!

Usually no members of the public attend library board meetings. At that meeting the library auditorium was packed with people from across the state, including the president of the state Board of Trustees.

Despite allowing personnel matters to be discussed in nonpublic session, and despite being new to the position, Mr. Selig made a motion, and it was supported by his cronies, to publicly terminate a library employee who had ongoingly been trying to resolve her issues with the “library director”, Carol Sykes. Mr. Selig had never dis-cussed his resolution with the entire board — myself included — he just blindsided us, with the guidance of the city attorney, and caused what became an expensive lawsuit against the city: all from his fi rst arrogant decision as a library trustee.

Ultimately the city lost the case, and a settlement was reached with that employee.

Mr. Selig also had himself appointed as board “president” that year, and he has been thus, ever since. This is wholly against the principle of what it means to be a trustee, as the state Board of Trustees’ own idea is that offi cerships should be rotated among board members; yet Robert Selig has been the “president” all these years: what does that say about the quality of the rest of the members who are, apparently, content to follow?

I know that in other capacities in his life Mr. Selig is usually the president or chairman of most organizations with which he is affi liated. WHY? Is he not a team player? Does he always have to have his own way? Are others too intimidated to speak up and dis-agree with him?

After that lawsuit, there was a shakeup in the library, and Carol Sykes herself was removed/or resigned — with a great deal of negative publicity — including her excessive paid absences — which had been a well known secret for many,many years.

Mr. Selig decided to hire an expen-sive head-hunting fi rm to fi nd another library director, and this decision was rubber-stamped by the then board. Ultimately, Randy Brough, then the director of Franklin Library was hired, and he’s been in place ever since.

Mr. Selig has never understood the defi nition of being a library trustee; he is not a team player, he does not share information. I remember when he once announced to the board that he had made “an executive decision” to purchase a new furnace, I believe, for the library. There’s no such thing as an executive decision! Laconia Library is not Laconia Shoe, and a board member is not an executive! All trustees are peers; none has any more authority than another.

I went on to serve on the state Board of Library Trustees, so I am aware of the principles it represents. I attended their meetings and programs, so I know their values and purpose.

Being a trustee should not be about ego, power or politics.

While Robert Selig has qualities which may be to an organization’s advantage — he was the force behind the library’s beautiful expansion proj-ect — his lack of people skills, and his tactics, are not how trustees should act. He is dominating and forceful — there’s no need for it. He needs to retire,and the board should step up and share leadership.

Congratulations to Councilor Hamel for speaking against Robert Selig’s re-appointment. It really is time for a change, and it’s time for trustees to truly participate on the board, and not just unquestioningly rubber stamp what some self-appointed ‘president’ dictates.

Finally, a comment on the issue of whether or not the City Council shall elect or appoint library trustees. Apparently the city’s legal opinion is to follow the City Charter. The City Charter very clearly states that each March the City Council SHALL elect two trustees. The defi nition of “elect” is to pick out, to choose or make a deci-sion — the city council has been elect-ing the trustees.

What needs changing is the chair-manship for now, and eventually, the composition of this present board.

LETTERSThe Shaker ‘rabids’ were great, with successful assault after assaultTo the editor,

Back in the 60’s daze, people used to sit around and say, “Hey Man, what do you think would happen if there was a war and nobody showed up?” Out of the Twilight Zone and into the real-ity of these days — aka the present. Yup, in essence it nearly happened at the Friday, March 18, $haker $chool budget meeting. A shameful represen-tation showed up! Equilateral criti-cism applies. It was a war of rabbits, lemmings, and “rabids.” The “rabids” behaved badly, the lemmings blindly followed them over a financial cliff, and the rabbits hid in their holes (aka, MIA’s) except for a few who ventured out. The war possessed all the elements of a “passion play” though — complete with greed, avarice, power, and a lust for money. Absent also were elements of sympathy, understanding, compas-sion, and kindness. Sex appeared to be missing, but I didn’t look under the bleachers. Murder? Well, I thought I saw something resembling that in the eyes of some “rabids” if they did not get their way.

Amazingly, I actually believe the board was stunned—or at least sur-prised when the operating budget was amended UP — not down by nearly a quarter million big bazookas; and the measure won by JUST two votes! HELLO—anyone in that hole? For all the rabbits who use the lame excuse that their one vote won’t REALLY matter — chew on that carrot. It’s no problem though, I’m sure everyone has more and more money coming into the household to support shame-less and wanton requests like that one. The “rabids” displayed a shock-ing and blatant disregard for the taxpayer. BUT, the rabbits showed a corresponding and equally shocking disregard for themselves AND for the power of their vote. Most hid in their holes. Essentially pulling a rabbit out

of a hat, less than 200 “rabids” and lemmings voted in over $20-million for school spending. WHEW! So many will owe so much because of so few.

So, you see, the meeting was com-mandeered by arrogant, selfish, self-serving spenders who when asked if they would be willing to pay a small token fee per child in order to help the taxpayer voted a resounding and robust NO. All Attitude! It would have shown good faith, but gosh, certainly those are not lessons we care to pass onto the children, are they? So that action SAID it all. Just “suck it up” and keep paying. We do not care about you; we want to get all we can out of you with the minimum effort on our part. Just “stuff it!”

However, I must say that the “rabids” have my utmost respect with-out any degree of reservation — they were great with successful assault after assault — eyes on the target and abundant ammunition, accu-racy notwithstanding. BUT in the end, they DO deserve the respect and admiration of all who fight wars. They know what it takes to win, the lem-mings dutifully followed, and the war was won purely and simply by their persistence and tenacity and by the default of the MIA’s. The voting place is the only place I know where casual-ties can occur in abstention — makes perfect sense when you DON’T think about it.

For all you Rabbits in your holes, I’ll say this. The world belongs to those who show up! Last Friday, I learned that the enemy is YOU — THE RAB-BITS — who stay in your holes and fail to take part in one of the most important exercises in democracy. When the tax bills come out and you complain — just look into the mirror to see who’s to blame.

If President Obama’s skin was white his birth certificate wouldn’t matterTo the editor,

I am writing in regard to Anna Derose’s letter of March 25. Appar-ently she thinks that because Donald Trump is wealthy and what she con-siders a good businessman he would be a great president. Recently Mr. Trump admitted on prime time TV, in a talk show, he had accepted money on a deal he made to rent out some land and had later reneged on the deal. He admitted he did not return the money he had taken when this deal was set up and actually laughed about it like he had done something funny. What is funny about ripping someone off? Now it doesn’t matter who he did this to the only point to be considered is the fact that the money should have been returned. This would be stealing. This would make me want to know if this type of a poor business ethic had happened in other deals he had made and if this type of dishonesty contrib-uted to his wealth.

Because Mr. Trump is extremely wealthy and brags about all his money I wonder if he would really spend his money on a campaign when there is no definite guarantee he would stand to gain something or actually win. This is a man who is out to make money

not to lose money and I honestly do not think he would take a chance on losing any of his money which is so important to him and allows him to live his lavish lifestyle. Of course he would take campaign contributions. He would accept this money from the very people he associates with now — CEO’s of Big Companies who will con-tribute in the hopes if elected he will return the favor. Ms. Derose doesn’t seem to understand that Mr. Trump cares less about low-income and middle working class Americans, or even the elderly. He has already made it clear verbally that he could care less if poor and low-income families have enough to eat, could care less if the elderly have money and health ben-efits and has decided he has a right to tell a woman what choices she can and cannot make pertaining to her own body as if he is better qualified and is smarter then a woman.

Ms. DeRose I do not know if you receive Medicare benefits or not but if you do perhaps you should read your 2011 Medicare Benefit Book which you would have received in the mail. You would find that you no longer pay for many of the health services you

LETTERSForsythe got elected because of his conservative ‘baseline platform’

received in the past and had to pay for and still receive. You even receive more health services now at no cost to you. If you have private insurance you would find that you, too, are in better shape then you were because you are better protected from the once random decisions private insurance companies made pertaining to your care, length of care and what they would pay for. This is the “Obamacare” you seem so much in disfavor off. The simple clear fact is that you are in better shape then you were two years ago.

As to the birth certificate. This is simply nonsense. If President Obama’s skin was white this wouldn’t even be an issue. The fact is that no one wants to be called a racist so they won’t admit this is the real reason

behind the attack on the president. In two years the “Good Old Boy’ philoso-phy has shown up again. First of all two qualifications for a person to run for the presidency are over 35 years old and a natural born USA citizen. Clearly documentation would have had to be provided. And don’t you think the other candidates running would have looked for, and if found, produced any “trash” they could have found on President Obabama. That is part of the so-called political game — destroy your opponent any way you can. The birth certificate was produced by Hawaii and two news-paper in Hawaii have produced birth announcements. This is 2011 it is time to move on. This is a moot issue.

Nancy ParsonsLaconia

To the editor,This responds to the letter of Ste-

phen Conkling about Senator Jim Forsythe and his vote to restore drag-boating to Lake Winnipesaukee.

Steve, you are right about one thing; during his campaign, candidate For-sythe did mention that he was “pro-freedom”. But who isn’t? And who would vote for a candidate that said he was “anti-freedom”? EVERYONE IS PRO-FREEDOM. I know that I certainly am.

But his biggest claim...his “baseline platform”... was to being a “conser-vative”. And being a “conservative” means respecting the rights of the

majority over the fun of a few. Being “conservative” means respecting the conservative and passive Yankee values of his constituents. Being “con-servative” means favoring the “pas-sive non-impacting freedoms” of the people over the “endangering and obnoxious freedoms” of the few. At least that is what I’ve always been taught that being a “New Hampshire conservative” means.

And “freedom” is a two way street. When two freedoms collide, you can’t side with the obviously wrong one and still claim to be “pro-freedom”. Being in favor of the “freedom” of a small minority when that “freedom”

infringes on the freedoms of the vast majority is not being “pro-freedom”, that is being “anti-freedom”. Being in favor of the “freedom” of a small group to behave in a way that endangers and offends the rest of society, while taking away from everyone else the freedom to just go about their peace-ful and passive activities is not being “pro-freedom”, that is being “anti-freedom”. What other dangerous and obnoxious “freedoms” is this guy going to thrust upon us?

The truth is, the reason Forsythe got elected, and the reason he asked us to vote for him, and the reason I asked friends to vote for him, was that his “baseline platform”, which he promised at the top of every speech and op-ed, was to roll up his sleeves and get right down to the critical task of restoring fiscal sanity to Concord. He never told those of us who did not attend that SOBNH fundraiser, and so none of his potential constituents realized, that he was at the very same time promising his best friend’s Thun-der Boating Club that his real prior-ity was to get right to work restoring thunder boating to his district’s lake for them instead. Never once did he tell us up in Belknap “I’m going to do all I can to take away your freedoms first, then I’ll get to work on fiscal matters, if I have time”.

Fortunately, the internet now gives elected officials no way to hide from their campaign promises.

Here’s a few news blurbs from then-candidate Forsythe’s own web site (http://jimforsythe.com/news/):

“a bright and inquisitive guy who already has developed a deep under-standing of state issues on everything from the budget to education funding to business regulations. We have no doubt that, if elected, he will quickly become a leader, not only in the efforts to control state spending and lower taxes, but in developing new ways to conduct state business more effec-tively and efficiently.”

“a first-time candidate for elected office but with a variety of life experi-ences, including as someone who has stood up for taxpayers and business owners, he feels he’s well qualified to be the next state senator from District 4.”

Wouldn’t his have been the perfect opportunity to such a “man of integ-rity” to tell his potential voters in Belknap that he was really “a man who promised his best friend, the Thunder Boating president, that he will return high speed boating to Lake Winnipesaukee, even though he knows that up to 90-percent of the people of Gilford, Laconia, and Alton do not agree”?

Here’s candidate Forsythe giving a speech to Belknapers (http://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=YT9p8BdBEwM);

“What is motivating me to run? …It comes down to ONE ISSUE…one defining issue for this campaign…Are we not spending enough, or are we spending too much?..Is it a SPEND-ING problem, or is it a REVENUE problem?”

Never once does this candidate tell these voters from the district he is

Belknap County Delegation Belknap County Commissioners

The Belknap County Delegation will be meeting on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 7:00 PM at the County Complex, 34 County Drive, Laconia, NH in the multi-purpose meeting room. Update as of 3/30/11. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM OR UPON THE ARRIVAL OF A QUORUM OF THE DELEGATION BUT NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT. The purpose of this meeting is to allocate the 2011 Belknap County Budget and other business as necessary.

aiming to represent what he was telling campaign contributors way down south… what he was telling his best friend… of his priority to return thunder boating to Lake Winnipesaukee. This is “a man of integrity”? Why at this forum of Belknapers does this “man of integrity” leave out this issue that he knows has such importance to this audience of potential constituents, while fi lling them with false promises of fi scal responsibility?

Just a few days apart from that Belknap event, he spoke at that Thunder Boating event three coun-ties south where he promised people from Merri-mack County that his “defi ning issue” was restoring mayhem and cowboyism to our lake…to help his best friends “freedoms” trump the real freedoms of the people of his own district. How is this being “a man of integrity”?

And fi nally, here’s Forsythe doing an interview for a conservative group during his campaign (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK9NpH5x-7A);

Q: “What’s the biggest difference between you and your rival Andrew Hosmer?” A:“Well, he’s pretend-ing to be a fi scal conservative….But he doesn’t have a track record of being a fi scal conservative.”

Q: “Any particular goals that you have once you take your seat after Nov 2nd? A: “My goal is fi rst to get the budget back in balance, then go further from there and actually make some cuts…

Why wouldn’t this “man of integrity” have simply told the truth about his real “baseline platform” here…”MY goal is to fi rst get thunder boating returned to Lake Winnipesaukee, as I just the other night promised SOBNH at the fundraiser they held for me. And, by the way, the president of SOBNH is one of my best buddies.”

I also agree with your last statement, although I feel it fl ies back in your face; “The entire boat speed limit debate in a nutshell: Learning to play well with others.” Practice what you preach Steve.

LACONIA — As lawmakers work to fi nd ways to dramatically trim the state budget, local school offi -cials worry how the cuts might affect their programs and students. One such example is a proposal to cut the reimbursements paid to school districts for the tuition they pay to regional vocational technical education centers.

The state allocated $7-million this year to reim-burse high schools for vocational center reimburse-ment, according to Representative William Smith, a Republican from New Castle who chairs the sub-committee of the House Finance Committee that focuses on educational issues. Smith said Governor John Lynch had proposed cut that line to $1-million but his committee restored most of that cut, bring-ing the funding for reimbursement up to $6-million.

Additionally, said Smith, his division of the House Finance Committee is proposing to establish a legis-lative committee to look for “effi ciencies” within the state’s Department of Education and its regulations, with the goal of fi nding enough savings to more than restore the remaining $1-million.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote on its budget proposal on Thursday.

The development is likely welcome news to local administrators, who last week were wondering how they would cope with such a cut, especially because school district voters have already fi nalized budgets for the coming year, and in practically every instance the local school budgets are already stretched.

Scott Davis, director of the Huot Technical Center in Laconia, said he was “very concerned on the impact of our sending schools” that a reduction in tuition would cause. About half of the 450 students served by the center come from Laconia High School, the rest travel from high schools in Gilford, Belmont, Franklin, Winnisquam, Inter-Lakes and Franklin.

Tuition for the Huot Technical Center is set at $5,800 per student per year. Until this year, the state had been reimbursing sending schools three-quarters of tuition and transportation costs. The reimbursement amount was reduced to about two-thirds for this year.

Further reduction could have resulted in fewer stu-dents participating in the Huot Center’s programs, Davis feared. “It does impact the enrollment piece. We want to make sure kdis have access to programs.”

Local school administrators anxiously watching status of Huot Center tuition reimbursement funding

At an Inter-Lakes School Board meeting on March 22, Superintendent Phil McCormack briefed the board on the developments. He worried that sig-nifi cant cuts would require the district to limit the number of students able to attend the Huot Tech-nical Center in Laconia. “The sad thing is, this is a viable program for a percentage of our student body.” He continued that some students who aren’t as successful in traditional classroom settings will thrive at the vocational center – and get jobs when they graduate.

Paul DeMinico, superintendent for the Gilford School District, said last week that the possibility of reduced tuition reimbursement “presents a very diffi cult situation.” To absorb the loss of reimburse-ment within their budget for next year would mean either reducing other programs or limiting access to the Huot Center for the students it serves. “It’s a wonderful program for our students,” DeMinico said. “It’s a skill-based program for kids who will take a vocational track. We can’t take that away from those kids... I think it’s critical, absolutely critical.”

or a decision to arm the rebels.In Washington, congressional Republicans and

Democrats peppered senior administration offi-cials with questions about how long the U.S. will be involved in Libya, the operation’s costs and whether foreign countries will arm the rebels.

NATO is taking over control of the airstrikes, which began as a U.S.-led operation. Diplomats said they have given approval for the NATO operation’s commander, Canadian Gen. Charles Bouchard, to announce a handover Thursday.

Intelligence experts said the CIA operatives that were sent to Libya would have made contact with the opposition and assessed the rebel forces’ strength and needs if Obama decided to arm them.

The New York Times reported that the CIA had sent in small groups of CIA operatives and that British operatives were directing airstrikes.

Gadhafi’s forces have adopted a new tactic in light of the pounding that airstrikes have given their tanks and armored vehicles, a senior U.S. intelli-gence official said. They’ve left some of those weap-ons behind in favor of a “gaggle” of “battle wagons”: minivans, sedans and SUVs fitted with weapons, said the official, who spoke anonymously in order to discuss sensitive U.S. intelligence on the condition and capabilities of rebel and regime forces. Rebel fighters also said Gadhafi’s troops were increasingly using civilian vehicles in battle.

The change not only makes it harder to distinguish Gadhafi’s forces from the rebels, it also requires less logistical support, the official said.

LACONIA — A study prepared by the New Hamp-shire Center for Public Policy Studies suggests that compared to the amount of revenue Belknap County returns to the state, its gets relatively little direct financial aid in return.

Authored by economist Dennis Delay, “A County/State Balance Sheet,” drew on data from 2008 to calculate the state taxes collected in each of the 10 counties and the state aid distributed to munici-palities, school districts and counties within them to estimate “the county public sector balance sheet with the state government.” The study is confined to direct payments from the state to municipalities, school districts and counties and excludes indirect benefits such as the presence of state agencies.

All 10 counties generated more state revenue than they received in direct payments. The study found that altogether the 10 counties generated $2.45-bil-lion in state revenues and received $1.13-billion in state funds. That is, direct payments from the state to the counties represented 46-percent of state rev-enues generated by the counties.

Hillsborough and Rockingham counties, the two largest, generated the most revenue, $815-million

Donor county? Is the state shortchanging Belknap?and $606-million respectively, and received the most aid, $336-million and $250-million. However, the dif-ference between the revenue generated and the pay-ments received was smallest in Coos and Sullivan counties, where state aid represented 85-percent and 78-percent of the revenue generated.

In Belknap County the $49-million in aid repre-sented 42-percent of the $117-million in revenue, which placed the county near the middle of the pack. Aid amounted to 61-percent of revenue in Cheshire, 60-percent in Strafford, 52-percent in Merrimack, 43-percent in Carroll, 41-percent in Hillsborough and Rockingham, and 40-percent in Grafton counties.

Measured on a per capita basis, Belknap County generated $1,908 in revenue per person, less than Carroll ($2,224), Grafton ($2,163), Rockingham ($2,041) and Hillsborough ($2,028) counties, but more than Merrimack ($1,602), Cheshire ($1,501), Coos ($1,487), Sullivan ($1,361) and Strafford ($1,355) counties.

But, aid per capita in Belknap County was $798, the least of all the counties. Aid per capita was $1,264 in Coos, $1,068 in Sullivan, $956 in Carroll, $911 in Cheshire, $866 in Grafton, $841 in Rocking-ham, $837 in Merrimack, $835 in Hillsborough and $816 in Strafford counties.

agenda has since been overshadowed by events around the world, from the uprisings in the Middle East and subsequent U.S. military intervention in Libya to the humanitarian and nuclear crisis in Japan.

But with gas prices on the rise as the president readies his reelection bid, the White House wants to regain its footing on domestic issues before public anger over the spike in energy costs take hold. Gas prices have jumped more than 50 cents a gallon this year, reaching a national average of $3.58 a gallon last week, according to AAA’s daily survey.

Republicans have placed the blame for the spike in prices on Obama’s policies, arguing that the administration has been too slow in approving new permits for oil drilling and calling on the president to open up areas along the Atlantic Coast and near Alaska, where drilling its currently banned.

“The problem is that Democrats don’t want us to use the energy we have,” Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday. “It’s enough to make you wonder whether anybody in the White House has driven by a gas station lately.”

The president struck back at that criticism during

his speech, noting that his administration has approved 39 shallow-water drilling permits since new standards were put in place last year following the Gulf oil spill, and seven new deep-water drilling permits in recent weeks.

“So any claim that my administration is respon-sible for gas prices because we’ve shut down oil pro-duction might make for a useful political sound bite, but doesn’t track with reality,” Obama said.

Even if Obama’s efforts can reduce U.S. demand for foreign oil, experts say they’re unlikely to bring down the cost of gasoline, since oil is priced globally and increased demand from China and other devel-oping nations continues to push prices up.

Obama acknowledged that he’s far from the first U.S. president who has set out to put the U.S. on a path toward energy independence. Richard Nixon made the case for energy independence in 1973 after Arab oil producers cut off supplies in response to U.S. support of Israel in the Mideast war.

“Presidents and politicians of every stripe have promised energy independence but that promise

Committee have both expressed some concern that the “cross-over”or day where bills the pass one house pass over to the other side of the Statehouse for consideration, is typically a long day and many Belknap County Delegation members may not be able to leave Con-cord and reach Laconia by 7 p.m.

County Administrator Debra Shackett said the deadline for the convention to allocate the previously voted $224,000 is midnight — and there exists a possibility the meeting will be held open until that time.

Yesterday, Shackett provided The Daily Sun with $224,000 in suggested cuts that she and Finance Director Glen Waring were recommending. She said the cut suggestions were distributed individually to the three commissioners and 18 convention members but neither body has met since the administration suggestions were made.

Shackett’s suggestions are broken down by department only and take $15,750 from the Department of Administration; $5,800 from the Office of the County Attorney; $3,200 from the Registry of Deeds; $18,000 from the Sheriff ’s Department; $1,000 from the Department of Youth Ser-vices; $9,500 from the Department of Corrections; $4,450 from the Mainte-nance Department; $100,000 from the Department of Human Services and $11,500 from the Outside Agencies.

Shackett’s suggested cuts don’t iden-tify which outside agencies should see reductions in their appropriation.

Administrators recommend the bal-ance of the $224,000, an additional $54,800, come from various lines in the Belknap County Nursing Home budget.

“The cuts are across the board and we’re trying to treat this as evenly as we can,” said Commissioner John Thomas.

As to the suggested outside agen-cies, Thomas said if the delegation agrees with the $11,500 suggestion, the pain will be spread equitable between those who get county appro-

priations.He said the situation is particularly

tenuous because he said the county has no idea what cuts may be coming from the state level.

The $224,000 was a narrowly voted compromise action taken on March 14when the 18-member, all-Republi-can Convention what was supposed to be its final 2011 budget session.

Divided 9 to 9, members of the del-egation wrangled for nearly two hours over a motion to reduce the budget by seven percent — or about $2.3 mil-lion — before calling a recess where like-minded members caucused. Ulti-mately, Laconia’s Robert Luther was persuaded to accept just $224,000 in cuts to the bottom line and a new budget for $32,158,768 passed 10 to 8.

With the cut made only to the bottom line, N.H. Department of Reve-nue Administrator Barbara Robinson ruled that providing only a bottom-line figure for a cut to the budget put together by the commission was not legally acceptable so the conven-tion is meeting tonight to allocate the $224,000, department by department. They are under no obligation to heed the suggestions made by Shackett and Waring.

One unanswered question at press time is whether to meeting will con-vene the moment a majority of 10 of the 18 delegates arrive, meaning there could be a rush by one faction or the other to reach a quorum and voted on the cuts rather than wait until the entire delegation is present.

After Monday’s convention meeting, where 15 of the 16 members present approved a $1.5-million bond sale for the expansion of Gunstock Mountain Resort, Millham told those in atten-dance that legal counsel Paul Fitzger-ald had told them tonight’s meeting would be only to allocate the previ-ously voted cuts and not to reconsider the entire budget.

If quorum is not reached by mid-night, the Commissioner’s budget automatically goes into effect at $32,158,768.

woman went to Gray’s rented Wind-ham home voluntarily on March 5, but was not allowed to leave until days later, when Gray drove her to Logan Inter-national Airport in Boston, police said. Instead of boarding a plane, however, she told a Massachusetts state trooper about her ordeal, authorities said.

The woman was treated for minor injuries and released from Massachu-setts General Hospital in Boston on March 9.

The court file on the case was sealed, and Windham police would not identify where in New York the woman lives.

Gray responded to the woman’s ad and the two communicated by com-puter for a day or so before she arrived March 5 at the house he’d rented only weeks earlier, Caron said. She was initially there voluntarily but that quickly changed, Caron said.

He would not say how Gray restrained or otherwise forced her to stay in the lakefront home.

Court officials said Gray is the sub-ject of a protection order filed by an ex-girlfriend who said he threatened and abused her and her children. The woman said Gray repeatedly phoned her and sent her text messages in late February. She wrote that Salem

police came to her house at 1:30 a.m. one morning asking if she knew his whereabouts, because he had called a suicide hotline and they thought he be a threat to her. The woman could not be located by The Associated Press.

Police obtained warrants for Gray’s arrest in mid-March but could not locate him. He was arrested Tuesday at a veterans’ hospital in Brockton, Mass. It was not clear why or when he checked himself into that hospital, but Stevens said he thought Gray had been in Brockton for about two weeks.

Caron said they were in touch with Stevens for several days prior to Gray’s arrest, when they thought Gray would surrender. But that scenario began to appear less likely Tuesday.

“We weren’t comfortable and chose to have him arrested by the Brockton police,” Caron said.

Gray participated in his Salem arraignment Wednesday by video feed from the Rockingham County jail. He scheduled to be in court April 5 for a probable cause hearing.

Gray is a self-employed civil engi-neer who was elected to the Salem Planning Board a year ago, said board Chairman James Keller. Gray missed planning board meetings on March

Yet even with all that, she was alone and lonely many hours every day and night. That’s why I’m so glad that she decided to move into the Assisted Living apartment at Taylor Community.

couldn’t have gotten it without everyone here.” She said she was honored to work with a “talented” staff with the ambition to take on projects such as the recent study of “Three Cups of Tea”, wherein stu-dents at the school baked several hundred loaves of bread which were donated to local food pantries.

Jacob is a native of South Weymouth, Mass. who worked as a classroom teacher in Campton for 13 years before deciding to become a guidance coun-selor. She first came to Inter-Lakes Elementary while interning with Howard Cunningham, who is currently a member of the Inter-Lakes School Board but was then a guidance counselor. When Cunning-ham became the director of special education for the district, Jacob filled his vacated position.

Jacob, a resident of Woodstock who has worked at Inter-Lakes Elementary for 27 years and a total of 40 years as an educator, plans to retire at the end of this school year. She looks forward to spending more time with her husband, Michael, especially traveling.

About the honor, Jacob said it was, “overwhelming, it feels wonderful... The teamwork in this school is beyond what most schools are able to do.”

8 and 22, emailing in advance to say he wouldn’t attend because of “family matters,” Keller said.

Keller said he believes Gray should resign, but he has not been able to reach him to tell him so.

“I think it’s fairly obvious to everyone that he should simply resign and let the town move on,” Keller said. He said he did not know Gray person-ally.

Kevin Bleeker, who owns the house Gray was renting, said Gray began a six-month lease on the property Feb. 11.

“I thought he was pretty reputable,” Bleeker said. “I should have done a background check. I would have found he had a long history of problems with women.”

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Senate has approved a bill that would allow cities and towns to adopt spending caps.

Bill sponsor David Boutin, R-Hooksett, says the idea is all about giving local budget control to tax-payers.

N.H. Senate gives approval to idea of local tax capsThe communities of Franklin, Derry, Laconia,

Nashua, Dover, Rochester and Manchester have approved spending caps. In November, the state Supreme Court overturned Manchester’s spending cap, saying such a cap violates laws governing local budget-making authority.

1 and 22 and December 3, the camera captured the same large, light colored, two-door sedan.

Twice receipts were found amid the trash. At noon on November 9, Goodhue discovered trash that included a receipt for brass plumbing parts purchased at Lowe’s at 11:41 a.m. that same day. The video from Lowe’s pictured a man making the purchase, but Goodhue could not initially identify him. When the surveil-lance camera recorded trash strewn at 8:44 p.m. on December 3, Sergeant Corey O’Connor discovered a receipt for a medium coffee and two donuts bought at the Dunkin’ Donuts in New Hampton at 7:34 a.m. that day. The video taken at Dunkin Donuts showed the same man recorded at Lowe’s driving a car resembling the sedan captured by the camera at Goodhue’s home on three occasions.

Detective Kelley recognized the man as Baron.Moreover, the car pictured in the videos matched a

silver 2000 Cadillac registered to Baron.A week later Detective Jacques interviewed

Baron, who arrived at the Police Department wear-ing the same “red top” shown in the video taken at Lowe’s. Jacques reported that at the outset, Baron insisted he was “not a litterer,” adding “I am the type

of person what walks around my neighborhood and picks stuff up as I am walking.”

However, Jacques noted that “his replies changed through the interview, when confronted with physi-cal evidence, such as still images (of) him making the purchases.” In discussing the trash discarded after his visit to Lowe’s, Jacques recorded him to say “I wouldn’t throw garbage into someone’s yard intentionally. I mean, I did not do that.”

However, according to Jacques, Baron could not offer an explanation, but said he did not “remember doing it.” When Jacques asked about the nails, he reported that Baron “did not act any differently or startled at the accusation.” Jacques noted that in his opinion, based on training an experience, “whether or not a person was involved in trash would have reacted sharply to the accusation of throwing nails into someone’s driveway if they had nothing with such an act.”

Goodhue said that he knew Baron only well enough to say hello and yesterday offered no expla-nation for the affair. “I can’t say enough about the Gilford Police,” he remarked. “Just when there was murder on County Club Road, they treated this like it was the only thing they had to do. They really care about the people of Gilford.”

Baron did not return a telephone call.Both men have played a part in town politics.

Goodhue has served on the Conservation Commis-sion for the past 24 years, 23 of them as its chair-man. In 2008, he became embroiled in controversy when he ran for the Board of Selectmen with the

endorsement of sitting selectman Gus Benavides. On the eve of the election, Evans Juris, then the town adminis-trator, openly claimed that that the two were pursuing an agenda that included firing him. “I believe Benavides and Goodhue are after me,” Juris wrote in a letter released to the press, “that I have to look over my shoulder with this guy and if Goodhue is elected, my employ-ment with the Town of Gilford will be on borrowed time.”

Both Benavides and Goodhue flatly denied the charges and Goodhue sub-sequently lost the election to Kevin Hayes by 26 votes.

Baron served two terms on the School Board between 1997 and 2003, which included two years as its chair-man. In 2006 he ran for an open seat on the Board of Selectmen, losing to Connie Grant by 200 votes.

CONCORD (AP) — The New Hamp-shire House has voted to slow down a project to carry hydroelectric power from Canada to southern New England.

The House voted Wednesday to send the Senate a bill that would prevent public utilities from taking private land to build a plant or transmission facility.

The bill would allow construction if the transmission facility is needed for reliability of the electric grid. Proj-ect opponents say that would stop the Northern Pass project from using eminent domain because the electric-ity from the proposed project is not needed.

Supporters argue the bill would stop construction of other needed projects.

Project officials say eminent domain is rarely used.

The project proposes building towers to carry transmission lines along a 140-mile route from northern to central New Hampshire.

N.H. House votes to place obstacle in path of Northern Pass project

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Labor stronghold Ohio assumed center stage Wednesday in the fight over collective bargaining rights for public workers as the state Legislature passed a bill that was in some ways tougher than that seen in Wisconsin and sent it to the governor.

Amid shouts and jeers in both chambers, the House passed a mea-sure affecting 350,000 public workers on a 53-44 vote, and the Senate fol-lowed with a 17-16 vote of approval. Republican Gov. John Kasich will sign the bill by the end of the week.

Senate President Tom Niehaus threatened to clear the chamber ahead of final legislative action on the bill as pro-labor protesters shouted insults at senators and threatened to unseat them in the next election.

Chants of “Shame on you!” filled the elegant, high-ceilinged chambers where legislators are accustomed to hushed tones and self-imposed decorum.

Unlike Wisconsin’s measure, the Ohio legislation would extend union restrictions to police officers and fire-fighters.

But the overall response by protest-ers in the Rust Belt state, despite its long union tradition among steel and auto workers, has paled in comparison to Wisconsin, where protests topped more than 70,000 people. Ohio’s larg-est Statehouse demonstrations on the measure drew about 8,500 people.

Ohio Legislature passes tough bill aimed at public employee unions

That difference has been attributed to Madison’s labor legacy and the prox-imity of the populous University of Wis-consin campus to the state capital.

Standing in the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda after the House vote Wednes-day, union steelworker Curt Yarger said he saw the bill as “a preliminary attack on working people.”

“I shouldn’t have any disillusion that I’ll be next in the private sector,” said Yarger, 43, of Mansfield.

Leo Geiger, a Republican who works as a sewer inspector for the city of Dayton and didn’t attend protests because he couldn’t take the time off, said he’s “deathly afraid that this is going to affect me, my family and the entire state of Ohio in an incredibly negative way.”

Geiger, 34, called the bill and the way it has moved through the Legis-lature “completely un-American” and said he believes it has more to do with “political payback” than the budget.

SANBORNTON — Town Administrator Bob Veloski said yesterday that the town has received state Department of Transportation approval to complete the so-called “Y” project — the section of Bay Road and Upper Bay Road to Steele Hill Road.

Veloski said the last approvals needed before the project can go out to bid are from the state Depart-ment of Environmental Services and easements from the abutting property owners.

Last year voters approved a $3-million bond sale to complete the reconstruction and paving of Bay and Upper Bay Road — two of the most heavily traf-fi cked roads in the community.

Veloski said the DOT will make it’s fi nal revisions and along with the recommendations of the DES the engineering fi rm of Hoyle and Tanner will make the adjustments and prepare for the bid process.

San’ton’s ‘Y’ project could well be completed this yearVeloski said Selectmen pre-qualifi ed seven con-

struction companies who are capable, in terms of equipment, fi nances, and expertise, that can com-pete for the fi nal project.

He said Selectmen hope the “Y” projects can be completed by the time the construction seasons end this autumn.

In other Sanbornton news, Friday is the last day for town residents to sign up for town elections.

Elections will be May 11 and the polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Annual town meeting will be May 12 at the Sanbornton Central School and begins at 7 p.m.

The Budget Committee’s fi nal public hearing on the fi scal year 2012 budget is April 12 at the San-bornton Town Offi ces at 7 p.m.

BOSTON (AP) — A veteran electrician with Bos-ton’s transit system who was trying to make work conditions safer for others fell into a 30-foot deep shaft between the tracks on Wednesday and was trapped for more than 2½ hours with severe leg injuries.

Ed Rowe, 46, plunged through a thin piece of ply-wood covering a 2-foot-by-2-foot hole between the tracks at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s elevated Charles/Massachusetts Gen-eral Hospital trolley station at about 4:30 a.m.

He was pulled from the hollow concrete support column by fi refi ghters at about 7 a.m. and taken to the hospital right across the street with what were described as severe leg injuries.

Rowe was conscious but in “tremendous pain” when he was pulled free, Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said.

Gary Dardia and Ballin Wright, the slimmest and smallest members of the department’s techni-cal rescue team, descended down the narrow, damp, dark hole that widens to about 4-feet-by-4-feet at the bottom, their path impeded by pipes and a ladder.

Boston transit worker rescued after 30-foot fallThey said they slipped a harness around Rowe’s legs and waist so he could be slowly hauled out.

They tried to move him as little as possible to avoid aggravating his injuries.

“He just kept saying I want out of here,” Dardia said.

Rowe, who lives in Haverhill and has been work-ing for the MBTA since he was 18, was turning off the power to the trolley track’s electrifi ed third rail so workers could safely work on the nearby Longfel-low Bridge’s rehabilitation project, T spokesman Joe Pesaturo said.

“We’re happy with the outcome. It could have been a lot worse,” he said.

The T suspended trolley service between the Ken-dall Square stop in Cambridge and Broadway in South Boston during the rescue, busing commuters instead. Service had returned to normal by 8 a.m.

Pesaturo said there are four similar holes covered by wooden planks, and MBTA General Manager Richard Davey has ordered metal plates installed over those. The work will be done overnight after regular Red Line service ends.

LACONIA — Artist Shane Jordan will host a gallery opening at the Busiel Mill Community Room and Gallery at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 2.

“Painting is My Life” is a collection of more than 30 paintings created over the past two years both at home and at Jordan’s art classes.

“Shane, who arrives in his wheelchair, moves his brush over the canvas with the dexterity in which he moves down Canal Street each week to create and participate in the lively class discussions with the other art students,” said art instructor Larry Frates. “He is a motivating force behind keeping every-one focused on creating.”

For the past three years, Jordan has been moving ahead and continues to be part of community projects. In December, he was part of the Painting With the Community Artists, which raised funds for the WLNH Children’s Auction. He also had one of his paint-ings accepted as part of an Interna-tional Calendar sponsored by the

Developmental Disabilities Council of NH. More than 250 entries were sub-mitted and only 13 were selected for publication. The calendar painting is part of this exhibition.

Jordan’s works are primarily done in acrylics and watercolor. Themes for the exhibition include portraits, seascapes, NH landscapes, gardens, imaginary fi gures, and dogs.

The exhibition is open to the public through mid-April.

Roger J. Stone, 48LACONIA — Roger James Stone, 48, of

84 Old Prescott Hill, passed away at home on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 after a brief but courageous battle with a rare form of frontal lobe dementia.

Roger was born in Laconia, Novem-ber 5, 1962, the son of Bert and Lorraine (Munger) Stone. He lived in Belmont and graduated from Belmont High School in 1982. After graduation, he was employed by Concord Litho and remained there for twenty-eight years until 2009.

Roger married his sweetheart, Anna LaCroix, in 1984 and settled in Laconia where they bought their home and together they raised four children. Roger will be remembered as a devoted husband and father and a man who was always right there to help anyone in need. He helped out in Little League where his kids were so involved as well as with high school sports where he rooted from the sidelines. He was a volunteer in the annual Christ-mas Village and could often be seen and heard at the monthly City Council meetings. He was a strong advocate of Bike Week and could be seen frequently cruising around town on his Harley.

Roger was a great all-around mechanic and “Mr. Fixit”. He also enjoyed gardening, flowers as well as vegetables, and took pride in his work. He was no stranger to the kitchen and many times could be found preparing some-thing he found on a popular TV show. His culinary capa-bilities were many. In the winter, he could be seen stoking up the fire in an old pot bellied stove in the back yard where he made his own maple syrup.

Anyone who knew Roger loved him. He was a kind, gentle, fun-loving man. He will be missed by all who were

touched by his life.Roger is survived by his wife, Anna

(LaCroix) Stone, who was his best friend and soul mate for twenty-seven years; his daughter, Tanya Hogancamp, and her husband, Christopher, of Rumford, Maine; a son , Nicholas Stone, of Florida and twins, Jason and Kelsey Stone both of Laconia; two grandchildren, Brett and Kelley Hogancamp, of Maine; sisters, Jennie Maheux of Belmont and Debbie Labrecque and her husband, Robert, of Belmont; one brother, Bruce Stone, of Con-

cord; a foster brother, Bobbie Freeman, and his wife, Karen, of Rumney and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Bert and Lor-raine Stone and two brothers, Dennis and Ronnie.

Calling hours will be held from 3:00-5:00 PM on Sat-urday, April 2, 2011using the Carriage House entrance of the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H.

A Memorial Service will immediately follow the calling hours at 5:00 PM, also at the funeral home, Rev. John Davies, Community Health & Hospice Spiritual Care Coordinator, will officiate.

Burial will be at a later date in the family lot in Union Cemetery, Laconia, N.H.

For those who wish, the family suggests that memo-rial donations be made to Community Health & Hos-pice, Inc., 780 North Main Street, Laconia, N. H. 03246.

Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www.wilkinsonbeane.com.

Carroll County United merges with local United Way

LACONIA — Carroll County United, a com-munity based initiative funded by the Annette P. Schmitt Foundation with Tri-County Com-munity Action Program acting as their incuba-tor, has announced a partnership with the Lakes Region United Way effective April 1, 2011. The partner-ship will enable Car-roll County United to continue its volunteer driven efforts into the foreseeable future to work together to make Carroll County a place where all gen-erations can live, work and thrive. The Lakes Region United Way partnership will allow the Schmitt Foundation to stand down over time from its role as original funder of the initiative, while support from the United Way will ensure this important work continues throughout all of Carroll County.

John Malm, Chair of the Lakes Region United Way, indicated that there were several key factors that made the partnership make so much sense. “First and foremost, our work and our mission are very closely aligned to the work and mission of Car-roll County United. We are working on many of the same community goals in Belknap and Grafton Counties. Secondly, Carroll County is part of the Lakes Region United Way’s service area, and for some time we have wanted to improve our service to this region. This partnership with Carroll County United will give us greater purpose and presence in Carroll County which in turn will help us better meet our mission to the benefit of all residents in the county. And finally, the work that Carroll County United is doing is very impactful on the future of Carroll County, so it was important to us to help ensure this work will continue for the long term. We believe we can make this happen because the partnership, utilizing the existing infrastructure of the Lakes Region United Way, allows us to more cost effectively support the work of the volunteer teams. So we are pleased to be able to do this, and honor the Schmitt Foundation for their vision in getting Car-roll County United started.”

Howard Cunningham, Chairman of Carroll County United, was equally pleased with the new partnership.

“One of our goals all along with this initiative was to somehow make sure that we could find a path to sustainability. With Lakes Region United Way, we

have achieved this. Now we can focus our efforts on the work of the teams, and truly transform Car-roll County as we know it today. Of course, success begins with community involvement, so we are in hopes that we can continue to attract Carroll County residents to any of our teams, and that the residents will embrace this new partnership. It is important to recognize the role Tri-County Community Action Program, and in particular, Peter Higbee, played in getting Carroll County United off the ground and running. And of course, none of this would have hap-pened without the Annette Schmitt Foundation, so we are very grateful for their support. We are very optimistic that our partnership with Lakes Region United Way will lead to positive happenings for Car-roll County down the road.”

Carroll County United currently has five volunteer led teams focusing on the following issues in Carroll County: Childhood Readiness and Success, Aligning Education to Careers, Individual and Family Eco-nomic Stability, Balancing Economic Development with Environmental Stewardship, and Health and Wellness.

If you are interested in learning more about Car-roll County United, or joining one of the teams, visit www.CarrollCountyUnited.org or call Cyndi Paulin at 603-323-8139.

The mission of the Lakes Region United Way is to advance the common good through thoughtful and sustainable social investment. For more informa-tion about the Lakes Region United Way, visit www.LRUW.org or call 603-524-6864.

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) will offer two sessions of a “Planning Your Herb Garden” workshop at 9 a.m. on Monday, April 4 or 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5.

“Herb gardens are easy, fun, decorative, and deli-cious,” said Daryl Hoitt, owner and operator of Red Fox Farm in Gilmanton. “We offer tons of herbs in the spring for seedlings and love helping people decide which herbs they would love to have near their kitchens for cooking and enjoying.”

LRCC’s first-ever workshop designed to help par-ticipants identify a good location for easy-to-grow herbs will include a discussion of common and not-

so-common herbs, both annual and perennial, that can be used fresh, dried, or frozen. Also covered will be how to grow herbs in permanent gardens, between bushes and along pathways.

“Enjoy the freshest and most fragrant herbs for your favorite dishes right out of your own garden,” said Hoitt. “Come to class prepared with an idea of the size of your garden so you can work out the details in class, or take advantage of this great opportunity to get inspired and think of locations and ways to add the joy of herbal gardening to your home.”

The cost of the workshop is $20. Call LRCC at 524-3207 for further information and to register.

‘Do We Really Need the Death Penalty?’ discussion planned at PSU on April 4

PLYMOUTH — “Do We Need the Death Penalty?” will be the topic of a discussion at Plymouth State Univer-sity’s Smith Recital Hall at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 4.

Part of the Saul O Sidore Lecture Series, the lecture will be presented by Robert M. Bohm, professor of Crim-inal Justice at the University of Cen-tral Florida and fellow of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences.

Research shows that most people have a definite opinion about the death

penalty, even though they know little about it. Bohm’s presentation will address the many reasons given in sup-port of the death penalty, the evidence that contradicts those reasons, and why those reasons do not justify the con-tinued use of the death penalty in the United States.

All Sidore lectures are free and open to the public, but reservations are rec-ommended. A reception follows each lecture. For reservations or to arrange special accommodations, call 535-ARTS.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The omens suggest that it may be just as easy to make a big change as it is to make a small one. So, as long as you are envisioning a change, it may as well be dramatic. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Once you accept the way things are, you have power over the situation. So con-sider dropping your resistance. Why struggle? Come to terms with the way things are, and you’ll be instantly infl u-ential. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your creativity and intelligence will stretch into new realms. You’ll apply what you learned in one area of life to a com-pletely different subject and have suc-cess. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some-times the prize goes to the one who deserves it most. Other times the prize goes to the one who thinks to ask for it. Take a chance, and ask for what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A relation-ship is improving. It may feel like you are coasting along together. Enjoy this mellow, harmonious state. You have an especially easy time getting to know Gemini and Libra people. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have an excellent eye for what is going right in the world. Share your upbeat observations with anyone who will listen. Your optimism will have far-reaching repercussions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you don’t have a mentor yet, this will be a fi ne day to fi nd one. Others are recep-tive to your charm and will fi nd it easy to spot your talent and take note of the rich potential in you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Con-sider changing the rules of a game or agreeing to different terms in a rela-tionship. It’s also an auspicious time to make new arrangements with a boss, colleague, client or customer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will benefi t from self-parenting. For instance, you may make a deal with yourself that you can “play” after you’ve cleaned your room or fi nished your “homework.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Let your inner confi dence show in your style of speaking. If you are too self-effacing, your credibility may be called into question. Talk with certainty, and others will be certain of you, as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will effectively integrate two parts of your life that don’t always fi t nicely together -- for instance, your work with your family life, or your leisure with your work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Research an infl uential person you would like to know. The future holds an encounter. If you say the right thing, this person will not only show you the ropes, but will also pull a few strings. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 31). You’ll be highly motivated, and once you get in motion, you will be determined to succeed one way or another. Through the next three months, your social life will bustle along at a busy, happy clip. April is romantic, and May brings a fi nancial bonus. In July, you’ll alternate between tranquility and adventure. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 42, 14, 3, 10 and 17.

Opening day for landlocked salmon/lake trout fi shing is Friday, April 1CONCORD — The start of New

Hampshire’s open-water fi shing season on landlocked salmon/lake trout-managed lakes — the true start of spring for many Granite State anglers — is Friday, April 1.

The NH Fish and Game Depart-ment manages 15 lakes for landlocked salmon: Big Dan Hole Pond, First and Second Connecticut Lakes, Conway Lake, Lake Francis, Merrymeeting Lake, Newfound Lake, Ossipee Lake, Big and Little Squam Lakes, Suna-pee Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee, Win-nisquam Lake, and Nubanusit Lake. Pleasant Lake in New London also is managed for landlocked salmon, but is classifi ed as a trout pond, with a 2011 opening date of April 23.

Due to an “old-fashioned winter” and the effects of a recent thaw, the fl ows in the Winnipesaukee River system — which drives the early season salmon fi sheries in Winnipesaukee, Opechee, Winnisquam and Silver lakes — have increased. Anglers should seek out high-fl ow areas for a chance at “drop-down” salmon (and rainbow trout). Traditional areas include the Lake-

port Dam/Opechee Lake, the Win-nipesaukee River through Laconia to Dixon Point at Lake Winnisquam, and Lochmere Dam at Silver Lake. The Newfound River in Bristol offers great fl y-fi shing-only water that can often produce drop-down rainbows and salmon.

Because of icy conditions, NH Fish and Game’s new boat access facility on the Winnipesaukee River in down-town Laconia, offering great access to Winnisquam Lake, will not be open on April 1. The ramp will re-open as soon as weather conditions permit. Boaters and anglers are urged to use caution at all boat ramps as the remnants of winter ice persist. For updates, visit www.fi shnh.com.

Additionally, several popular Win-nipesaukee shore fi shing locations exist at the Merrymeeting River (fl y-fi shing-only, barbless, catch and release), and the mouth of the Mer-rymeeting River as it enters Alton Bay, downstream of the famous stone arch bridge. Other good sites to visit include the Weirs Channel in Laconia, Long Island Bridge in Moultonbor-

ough, Governors Island Bridge in Gil-ford, Smith River inlet at Wolfeboro Bay, and Meredith and Center Harbor town docks. At these locations, every-thing from smelt, shiners, and worms under a slip bobber to small jigs will take salmon as well as rainbows.

When fi shing in the few open water areas, ice-out salmon are success-fully caught by trolling with every-thing from spoons (such as DB Smelt, Sutton, Mooselook, Top Gun, and Smelt Gun) to traditional streamer fl ies (for example, Maynard’s Marvel, Pumpkinhead, Mickey Finn, Joe’s Smelt, and the countless Grey Ghost variations), and an early season favorite, live smelt, or shiners. Most early season fi sh are caught from the surface to about 15 feet down, with everything from planer board set-ups to the simplest of monofi lament fl at lines 50 — 150 feet behind the boat. When the wind kicks in, drifting live smelt or shiners in the waves can be highly effective. New for 2011, on certain salmon/lake trout lakes, only single hooks for bait while trolling is allowed. This includes Squam, New-found, Sunapee, Winnipesaukee and Winnisquam lakes. Please refer to the 2011 Freshwater Fishing Digest for a complete list of waters.

To ensure the future of high-quality landlocked salmon fi sheries, anglers must take extra care when releas-ing salmon, as the percentage of hook-wounded fi sh continues to be a problem. Hook wounded/scarred fi sh are signifi cantly shorter and poorer in body condition than non-hook-

wounded counterparts of the same age. Using rubber nets and proper release techniques (for example, don’t “shake” fi sh off the hook) — and releasing lightly hooked healthy salmon, while choosing to harvest previously hook-wounded fi sh — are ways to minimize the negative effects of hook wounding, thereby increasing the number of trophy salmon avail-able in the future.

To that end, the NH Fish and Game Department, with assistance from the angling public, has embarked on a new program to ensure that the Gran-ite State’s landlocked salmon fi shery will endure into the future.

Anglers may learn more about pro-tecting the landlocked salmon fi shery at a free talk at the NH Fish and Game Department at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 8. No pre-registration needed. Inland Fisheries Division Chief Steve Perry and Large Lakes Fisheries biologists Don Miller and John Viar will introduce the Landlocked Salmon Anglers’ Pledge — a cooperative, vol-unteer effort to help sustain quality landlocked salmon fi sheries in New Hampshire’s large lakes. Free pledge brochures and promotional decals will be available.

NH fi shing licenses may be pur-chased online at www.fi shnh.com, or from any Fish and Game license agent. Annual resident fi shing licenses are $35. Resident one-day licenses are $10. Annual nonresident fi shing licenses are $53. One-, three- and seven-day nonresident licenses are also available.

Prom dresses available from Faith, Hope and Love at Franklin Parks and Recreation on Saturday, April 2

LACONIA — The Faith, Hope and Love Foundation invites girls in need of a prom dress to the 5th Annual “Gowns for Girls” event at Franklin Parks and Recreation from 1 — 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 2.

PLYMOUTH — The PBS documen-tary “Pushing the Elephant,” explor-ing ethnic violence, escape, and hope, will be screened at Plymouth State University’s Boyd Hall Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5.

This fi lm, part of PBS’ “Independent Lens” series, is being screened as part of PSU’s “Community Cinema” series and will be followed by a discussion.

When civil war came to Rose Map-endo’s Congolese village, she was separated from her fi ve-year-old daughter, Nangabire. Rose managed

to escape with nine of her 10 chil-dren and was eventually resettled in Phoenix, Arizona. More than a decade later, mother and daughter are reunited in the U.S. where they must come to terms with the past and build a new future.

Rose’s journey from victim in war-torn Africa to refugee in America is told in the “Pushing the Elephant.” The public is invited and encouraged to engage in the conversation follow-ing the fi lm. For more information, call 535-2525.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I desperately need someone to tell me whether or not I am crazy. My husband and I live in an upscale neighborhood. He has met most of the neighbors by walking our dog. Last year, a neighbor moved out and rented his home to a couple with two little children and two dogs. As my husband walked our dog, the woman came out with hers, and the dogs played while my husband and “Jennifer” got acquainted. He is 71, and she is 46. I am recovering from breast cancer and at that time was so weak from chemo and radiation that I could barely walk to the bathroom. But I did notice that my husband was now walking our dog 20 times a day. I suspected it was to see Jen-nifer, but I’m not the jealous type and said nothing. When I was ready to build up my stamina, I told my hus-band I wanted to walk with him. I led him in a direction that did not go past Jennifer’s house, but he steered me the other way. She came running out and said, “Thank you for the e-mail. It made my day.” They talked as if I weren’t there, and it was apparent that my husband had a huge crush on her. He started showering, putting on fresh clothes and combing his hair before taking the dog for a walk. As soon as Jennifer saw him, she’d come running out of her house, dressed in tight miniskirts and revealing tops. I told my husband this was too much and that the e-mailing had to stop. His initial reaction was to open a new, private e-mail account. I fi nally gave him a piece of my mind, and he promised not to walk by Jennifer’s house again. Appar-ently, he kept his word, because she asked where he’s been. I told her she was to have no further contact and threatened to speak to her husband about it. We have heard no more from her. I think I nipped some-

thing in the bud, but my husband tells me I’m crazy. My son thinks Jennifer was playing games with his father. Should I have handled it differently? -- Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Jennifer was fl irting with your husband, who was fl attered and infatuated. It may not have gone any further, but your aggravation levels would have shot through the roof. We think you handled it just fi ne. Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 70s, retired and on an extremely low fi xed income. We have no savings. We barely have enough money for food and medicine. Our daughter is a professional who earns more than double what we make. However, every month, we have to help with her utilities. In the past, we’ve given her large sums of money that we had to borrow. With medical costs going up, how can we get her to stop relying on us fi nancially? -- Drained Dry Dear Drained: You must close the Bank of Mom and Dad. Tell your daughter you are so sorry, but you cannot afford to give her any more money. She will learn to take care of her own fi nances only when she is forced to. There is no reward for putting yourselves in the poor house so she can remain irresponsible. Dear Annie: I have a simple solution for “Forgotten in Cali-fornia,” whose co-workers forgot her birthday when she re-turned from vacation. In our offi ce, we all take turns with this responsibility. It works like this: You must get the card and cake for the person whose birthday falls before yours, and then the person whose birthday comes after yours brings the cake on your birthday. We have a chart with everyone’s birthdays and their “cake baker’s name” so no one has the chance to forget. It has worked out perfectly. -- Never Forgotten

Opechee Garden Club to host ‘Art ‘n Bloom’ at Gilford Pubic Library April 4 through 7

LACONIA — The Opechee Garden Club will host a club favorite, “Art ‘n Bloom,” at the Gilford Public Library Thursday, April 7 — Saturday, April 9.

With “art is in the eye of the beholder” as inspira-tion, members have interpreted a piece of artwork of their choice — a painting, sculpture, or print, using their own art or that of a local artist. They then use

their imagination and using natural flowers, fruits, plants, a drape of material, or a pewter tankard cou-pled with form, color, shape or texture, create their own unique interpretation of the artwork.

Chairs Carolyn Temmallo and Carmel Lancia invite the public to behold the creations, on exhibit during library hours. For more information, call 293-2877.

PLYMOUTH — Acclaimed singer-songwriter Patty Larkin will bring her 25th Anniversary Tour to The Flying Monkey Performance Center at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 8.

The Boston-based artist has been described by Performing Songwriter magazine as “a drop dead brilliant guitar player, a richly textural singer, a commanding, poetic songwriter, [and] a hilarious and personable entertainer.”

In 2010, Larkin released a collection of 25 “unplugged” love songs in celebration of 25 years in the recording industry. The collection features “art-ists I’ve admired and been inspired by ... renegades and troubadors, humorists and historians, singers who have stopped me in my tracks and made me aware of beauty and passion and joy.”

A “remarkable guitarist and imaginative and versatile vocalist” (Chicago Tribune), Larkin “has evolved into one of the finest self-accompanists any-where in popular music” (Boston Globe) whose work “comparable to the best of Bonnie Rait and Lucinda Williams” (New York Times).

Tickets to Patty Larkin’s 25th Anniversary per-formance are $25 for Reserved Orchestra, Tables, and Balcony; $30 for Gold Circle. Tickets may be purchased online at www.flyingmonkeynh.com or by calling the box office at 536-2551.

Dinner is available from 6 – 7 p.m. at an addi-tional charge. Advanced reservations for the dining section are required. Doors open at 6 p.m.

(Courtesy photo)

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) will offer a summer course entitled “Young Children’s Special Needs” at the Early Learning Center starting Tuesday evening, May 24.

Marti Ilg, executive director of Lakes Region Child-care Services (LRCS), will serve as course instructor.

“LRCC’s partnership with LRCS is extremely valuable,” said Janet Kibbee, LRCC Early Child-hood Education (ECE) program coordinator. “In addition to the ECE summer Special Needs course, LRCC uses the Laconia Early Learning Center for field trips and observations, holding weekly Practi-cum classes where students work directly with the young children there.”

“It is important for ECE students to learn in the environments where they will be working,” said Ilg. “What students are reading in the textbook is what they will be seeing, hearing, and experiencing first-hand at the Laconia Early Learning Center. Guest speakers are all around us, ready and willing to enrich learning opportunities.”

For additional information, call Professor Kibbee at 524-3207 or LRCC Admissions Director Wayne Fraser.

Genesis Behavioral Health to host advocacy meetings for clients, staff & community April 4, 5, 7

LACONIA — In response to the budget recom-mended by the New Hampshire House of Represen-tatives, Genesis Behavioral Health will host a series of advocacy meetings for clients, staff, and the com-munity on April 4, 5, and 7.

An Advocacy for Children meeting will be held at 771 North Main Street in Laconia at 5 p.m. on Monday, April 4. An Advocacy for Adults meeting will be held at 111 Church Street in Laconia at noon on Tuesday, April 5. An Advocacy for All meeting will be held at 599 Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth at 3 p.m. on Thursday, April 7.

The proposed budget will dramatically cut essen-tial health and human services — including the com-munity mental health system — and will directly

affect Genesis Behavioral Health’s ability to provide medically necessary services to the indigent and Medicaid recipients in the Lakes Region.

“Advocacy is more important now than ever before,” commented Maggie Pritchard, executive director of Genesis Behavioral Health. “However, stigma for people with mental illness is real, and makes advocating for oneself in this system much more difficult. At Genesis, we support and encour-age our patients to find their own voice and break down the barriers.”

Light refreshments will be served at all three advocacy sessions. For more information, call Kris-ten Welch, director of Development and Communi-cations, at 524-1100.

MEREDITH — The Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a free technology training program to be held at Mill Falls from 3:30 — 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6.

The seminar will feature Ryan Barton from Main-stay Technologies, who will offer practical actionable steps that any manager — no matter their techno-logical knowledge — can take to maximize IT bud-gets, reduce the stress of managing IT, and improve

the use of technology in one’s organization.The session will be devoted to exploring a number of

often overlooked ways in which organizations can uti-lize the latest technological solutions to cost-effectively attain their organizational goals, whether that be to increase profitability or provide more effective services.

The program is open to all in the business com-munity. Those planning to attend should call the Chamber at 279-6121.
