MEREDITH — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) announced yesterday that the operating level of Lake Wauke-wan during the summer recre-ational season — from May 15 until Columbus Day — will be

State commands Lake Waukewan to rise half a foot540-feet, or six inches above the 539.5-feet level that aroused bitter controversy a year ago.

In addition, the decision stipulates that to reduce the frequency and extent shoreline flooding in the spring, the lake will be drawn down to 538.5 feet. The drawdown will begin on Columbus Day with the goal

of filling the lake to its summer level by May 15.

Jim Gallagher of DES described the decision as “a balance, a compromise that is protective of the environment and the public interest while recognizing the recreational interests of shoreowners.”

Duncan McNeish of Mer-

edith, a member of the Wauke-wan Shoreowners Association, which favored the higher level, said yesterday that “most of the people I’ve spoken with are happy with the decision.” In December, he was among those who persuaded the Board of Selectmen to urge DES to con-

Identifying courier was key to finding bin LadenWASHINGTON (AP) — When one

of Osama bin Laden’s most trusted aides picked up the phone last year, he unknowingly led U.S. pursuers to the doorstep of his boss, the world’s most wanted terrorist.

That phone call, recounted Monday by a U.S. official, ended a years-long search for bin Laden’s personal cou-rier, the key break in a worldwide manhunt. The courier, in turn, led U.S. intelligence to a walled compound in northeast Pakistan, where a team of Navy SEALs shot bin Laden to death.

The violent final minutes were the culmination of years of intelligence work. Inside the CIA team hunting bin Laden, it always was clear that bin Laden’s vulnerability was his cou-riers. He was too smart to let al-Qaida foot soldiers, or even his senior com-manders, know his hideout. But if he wanted to get his messages out, some-body had to carry them, someone bin Laden trusted with his life.

In a secret CIA prison in Eastern Europe years ago, al-Qaida’s No. 3 leader,

A drawing, released by the United State Department of Defense May 2, 2011, shows the compound that Osama bin Laden was killed in on Monday in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Bin Laden was killed during a U.S. assault on his Pakistani compound on Monday, then quickly buried at sea, in a dramatic end to the long manhunt for the al Qaeda leader who had become the most powerful symbol of global terrorism. REUTERS/Department of Defense/Handout

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, gave authorities the nicknames of several of bin Laden’s cou-riers, four former U.S. intelligence officials said. Those names were among thousands of leads the CIA was pursuing.

One man became a particular interest for the agency when another detainee, Abu Faraj al-Libi, told interrogators that when he was promoted to succeed Moham-med as al-Qaida’s operational leader he received the word through a courier. Only bin Laden would have given al-Libi that promotion, CIA officials believed.

If they could find that courier, they’d find bin Laden.

The revelation that intelligence gleaned from the CIA’s so-called black sites helped kill bin Laden was seen as vindication for many intelligence officials who have been repeatedly investigated and criticized for their involvement in a program that involved the harshest interrogation meth-ods in U.S. history.

“We got beat up for it, but those efforts led to this great day,” said Marty Martin, a retired CIA officer who for years led the hunt for bin Laden.

Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboard-

ing, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic.

It took years of work for intelligence agencies to identify the courier’s real name, which officials are not disclosing. When they did identify him, he was nowhere to be found. The CIA’s sources didn’t know where he was hiding. Bin Laden was famously insistent that no phones or com-puters be used near him, so the eavesdrop-

TORONTO (AP) — Canadians voted Monday in an election marked by a late left-ward surge in opinion polls that could once again deny Conserva-tive Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper a majority in Parliament and per-haps even end his five years in power.

Harper, who took office in 2006, has won two elections but never with a majority of Par-liament’s 308 seats, forcing him to rely on the opposition to pass legislation.

Until last week, most polls indicated Canadian voters would give the Conservative government at least another minority man-date and perhaps even a majority.

But recent polls show a late surge for the left-ist New Democratic Party, making it one of the country’s most unpredictable elections in recent memory.

While the left-center vote could end up split-ting between the New Democrats and Liber-als, allowing Harper to eke out a majority, if Harper is held to another minority a new scenario has emerged in which the New Demo-

Conservatives hope for clear majority as Canada votes

NAPLES, Maine (AP) — A single mother from Maine whose mysterious death remains under investigation in New Hampshire was remembered by friends and family on Monday as an energetic, strong-willed woman with a wide network of friends.

More than 300 people attended the funeral for Krista Dittmeyer, 20, at Lake Region High School in Naples, where she graduated in 2008.

Kayla Dittmeyer choked back tears as she read a poem in her sister’s honor. “Who would have thought one young lady could have touched so many hearts?” she said, giving thanks to supporters both locally and around the country.

The discovery of Dittmeyer’s car idling with its hazard lights on and her 14-month-old daugh-ter unharmed inside early on April 23 sparked an intensive search for her. The Portland woman’s body was recovered by divers last week from a pond near the spot where her car was abandoned at a ski area in North Conway, N.H.

On Monday, her daughter Aliyah was in atten-dance at the funeral, along with Dittmeyer’s par-ents, her sister and friends. Behind the coffin was a large screen with Dittmeyer’s photo projected onto it in the school gymnasium.

Dittmeyer’s sister and several of Dittmeyer’s friend and the Rev. Don Mayberry said she was known as being feisty, independent and athletic. She played several sports, including basketball, tennis, track and softball. She tried dance and cheerleading.

She had a love of animals and thought of becom-ing a veterinarian one day, and had a nurturing side that came out when she became a mother, raising her daughter while working as a waitress, Mayberry said.

“She has been a presence among us who has brightened our lives,” Mayberry said.

Aliyah is now in the care of Dittmeyer’s mother, LaNell Shackley, in Bridgton. The toddler’s father is serving 18 months in prison in Maine for drug charges.

An investigation into Dittmeyer’s death contin-ues in New Hampshire, where an autopsy last week failed to reach a definitive conclusion on the cause of her death.

Mayberry said friends and family are understand-ably brokenhearted and confused as they try to piece together the circumstances surrounding her death.

“Sadly, the healing will not be miraculous or quick,” he said.

HANOVER (AP) — Dartmouth College is lead-ing a national initiative to reduce binge drinking by using the same approach its president once used to treat tuberculosis in Peru: a learning collaborative focused on measuring what works in one place and sharing it elsewhere.

Thirteen other colleges and universities have signed on to the project that President Jim Yong Kim announced Monday, but officials expect to increase the total to about 20 before it gets under way next month. The project will bring together teams from each campus three times in 18 months to share their experiences and help one another test strategies back home.

Kim, a doctor and humanitarian known as a leader in the global fight against HIV/AIDS and other dis-eases, said it makes sense to approach the problem from a public health perspective given that close 40 percent of college students engage in binge drink-

CONCORD (AP) — The state’s tax receipts for April are disappointing, but Gov. John Lynch said Monday he has a plan to close a potential $47 million general fund revenue shortfall by the end of the fiscal year.

New Hampshire will have a balanced budget on June 30 thanks to his aggressive management of spending, Lynch said. “We will have a balanced budget for this fiscal year,” the Democrat told report-ers at a briefing.

House Republican leaders were quick to criticize Democrats for being overly optimistic when they built this year’s budget on unrealistic revenue projections.

“Today’s April revenues show exactly why using reliable numbers is so important and verifies again the accuracy of the House revenue figures,” said Republican House Speaker William O’Brien, of Mont Vernon. “New Hampshire’s budget is in a huge hole because of overinflated estimates, and the House

Dartmouth takes lead in fighting binge drinkinging — defined as consuming five alcoholic drinks in two hours for men and four drinks in two hours for women.

On Monday, he described the collaborative approach he used in Peru and again in Rwanda when working to stop the mother-to-child transmis-sion of HIV/AIDS.

“In both those environments, we were very sur-prised to see how clinics from different areas and people from different professional backgrounds working together could achieve so much more than institutions working individually,” said Kim, who came to Dartmouth in 2009.

Although individual colleges have had success in either reducing binge drinking or its harmful out-comes, they often lack the resources to scientifically measure progress, Kim said, and have no way to spread their strategies to other campuses. The col-

LETTERSTaxing rich is smokescreen to hide excessive government spending

The answer to this question could be a yes or no, depending upon one’s thinking.

The answer would be yes if many people believed that war will always be with us because they would con-done the preparation for it and then establish a confirmatory bias when war did occur. This is called the self-fulfilling prophecy because if people believe something strongly enough, then it will happen because they will help bring it about. This is the fatalistic argument that makes war more likely to stay with us. This argument is also strongly reinforced by those who have a vested interest in the institution of war.

The answer is no when many people believe that war can be abolished because new behavior would emerge from such thinking that would lead to the permanent absence of war or to its rarity because structures would have to be put into place that prevent war. War has been called a “racket” by former Marine general Smedley Butler, “hell” by General William T. Sherman and“a theft from those who hunger and are not fed” by former General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. If Nelson Mandela could be president of South Africa; if the Berlin Wall could be dismantled; if slavery and dueling could be made illegal, then surely war can be made extinct.

Those who maintain that war is inevitable because of human nature fail are not aware of the evi-dence that strongly counters that argument. Just because humans have the potential and capacity for violence and war is not the same thing as believing that such poten-tial and capacity must be realized. Robert Hinde (WW II RAF pilot) and Joseph Rotblat (nuclear physi-cist) in their book, “War No More”, pointed out that “the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic, and a few hunter-gatherer societies living in tropical or sub-tropical regions elsewhere, never engage in inter-group vio-lence.” Over 25 peaceful tribes have been identified by researchers including the Hadza Tribe of Tanza-nia, Amish, Buid, Tassaday, Pueblo, Batek, Birhor, Chewong, Fipa, G/wi, Hutterites, Ifaluk, Ju/’hoansi, Kadar, Ladakhi, Lepchas, Malapan-daram, Mbuti, Nubians, Paliyans, Piaroa, Rural Thai, Semai, Tahi-tians, Tristan Islanders, Yanadi and Zapotec of La Paz.

“Most of the time these peace-ful societies successfully promote harmony, gentleness, and kindness toward others as much as they devalue conflict, aggressiveness, and violence…most of the time they interact in a highly pro-social manner and they successfully avoid both violence within their own soci-eties and warfare with other peo-ples…Many of them are masters at devaluing conflicts, minimizing and resolving them when they do occur,

Will there always be war?

and preventing them from devel-oping into violence. Many of these peaceful societies also devalue com-petition, self-focus, and other ego-centered social behaviors that they feel might lead to violence” (http://www.peacefulsocieties.org/).

Hinde and Rotblat (2003) also noted that “these societies tend to be egalitarian and to have an anti-vio-lence value system…that combative sports are rare or non-existent; the norms governing day-to-day behav-ior are such that quarrelling, boast-ing, stinginess, anger and violence are stigmatized, while generosity and gentleness are encouraged.” Hinde and Rotblat (2003) also men-tion Switzerland that, although prepared for war, has a history of neutrality. Most of the Scandinavian countries were at one time the worst marauders in history but are now among the most peaceful and pro-ductive countries in the world. Per-haps they just grew up over time.

In an informal study done by pro-fessor John Horgan (2009), and vali-dated by many of students over the years who have taken my War and Peace course, it was found that a majority of college students believe that war cannot be abolished and justify their beliefs based on the world’s long history of wars, fight-ing among Chimpanzees who share our DNA, the basic evil nature of people, the tendency for humans to be territorial, the human tendency for domination, testosterone in men and people’s high susceptibility to propaganda. In his refutation of such rationale, Horgan pointed out a study on ordinarily aggressive Rhesus monkeys that grew up to be kinder and gentler after having been raised by mild-mannered stump-tail monkeys. He also mentioned the Pan paniscus species of chim-panzees called bonobos that do not engage in deadly warfare and have no male dominance but do engage in enormous amounts of sex. Other studies have shown that the level of aggressiveness normally associ-ated with particular animal species can be significantly reduced when certain environmental conditions occur. In one study, a female tiger raised piglets as her own because she herself had been raised by a sow thereby believing that she was a pig.

Only a few decades ago there were 35 to 40 wars going on at any given time in the world but now that number has been reduced to 20 to 25. Possible reasons for this include the rise of democracies, longer life expectancy and globalization whereby the countries of the world are becoming more interdependent in the pursuit of commerce.

One major way to end war as an institution was suggested by anthro-pologist and psychiatrist, Melvin Konner. He recommended female education as key to ending conflict.

To the editor,Following Democrat traditions,

President Obama claims the rich and corporations don‘t pay enough taxes. However, the rich and corporations pay EXACTLY the taxes that Demo-crats desire. If the rich and corpora-tions were under-taxed, Democrats would have raised their taxes during President Obama‘s first two years when no Republican support was needed (like Democrats passed Obam-acare). But, Democrats didn’t increase taxes. Democrats didn’t even consider taxes on the rich or corporations until after last fall’s election.

Claims that the rich and corpora-tions are under-taxed are intended to divert attention from Democrat excessive spending and unconscio-nable deficits. Most Americans know that continuing trillion dollar deficits lead inevitably to financial disaster, excessive inflation, a decline in our standard of living, and/or poverty for future generations of Americans.

Politicians who steal their people’s freedom and money always point to scapegoats to divert people’s anger from the true source of their troubles. The Nazi’s blamed the Jews, Commu-nists blamed the capitalists, and petty dictators around the world blame the US. Democrats blame the rich and corporations. Just as the government policies cause people’s problems under Nazi’s, communists, and petty dicta-tors, Democrat policies cause Ameri-cans’ troubles.

You don’t have a job? Obama’s poli-cies directly killed many tens of thou-sands of jobs in the energy industry. Arbitrary administration decisions has wasted billions of invested dol-

lars, regulatory delays increase costs, and uncertainty about taxation, regu-lation, unionization, and personnel directives make employers postpone hiring or move jobs overseas.

Are you struggling to make ends meet? Obama policies increase energy costs which increases the cost of every-thing we buy. Subsidies and wasteful spending cause high taxes. Obama’s weak dollar policies cause inflation, raising prices and eroding the value of savings. Obama’s spending is why families struggle financially.

Today’s Democrats use govern-ment spending to buy votes, reward friends, and fund the special inter-ests that contribute to their political campaigns. Democrats continually increase spending which increases the financial pressure on American families because financial pressures makes people susceptible to Democrat promises of something for nothing and to class envy claims that others are not paying their fair share.

Taxing the rich doesn’t affect me, so why object? Because it is a smoke screen to hide Obama’s excessive spending which hurts every American.

Even if all billionaires’ and mil-lionaires’ income were taxed away, not enough money would be raised to eliminate this year’s deficit. Our coun-try has a spending problem, not a tax collection problem.

So, when President Obama tries to make the rich, corporations, or some other group the scapegoat for your suf-fering, look more carefully. The Ameri-can people are suffering because of President Obama’s policies.

Do not fall for Obama being a hero because Bin Laden is deadTo the editor,

Now that Osama Bin Laden has been killed, the people are going to say Obama is a hero. That means his chances of being President in 2012 makes it that more real. I say do not fall for it. This was a good plan to do just that, make him a hero. President Bush tried to do that and it did not work. Why did it take 10 years to do this? Everything is a plan.

But, we are celebrating this for the

people we lost at 911. No Mosque should ever be built at ground zero. What ever happened to that? We are happy this is over. Not yet! The Muslims are going to get back at us for this. So now every-one has to keep their eyes open. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A. and our TROOPS! Good job done by the finest. Go NAVY go! You are all the best! That means all our TROOPS!

He felt that with more female educa-tion there would be a more stabilized population leading to lower birthrates that reduce the need for governmen-tal and health services as well as lim-iting the population of unmarried and unemployed men who provide cannon fodder for war.

Some other ways that we can work toward establishing a culture of peace include:

— Teaching peace in our schools from early childhood through gradu-ate school

— Developing ways to improve international cooperation aimed at advancing human development

— Rejecting violence as a method to solve international disputes

— Distributing, displaying, apply-ing and enforcing the Universal Dec-laration of Human Rights at all levels

— Removing glass ceilings and ensuring that women are represented

equally in all settingsReforming political campaign

fi nancing so that electoral offi ces have democratic representation

— Celebrating cultural diversity and attending to the needs of vulner-able groups

— Supporting independent media and insisting that media serve the public good according to law

— Giving more attention to peace-making and to confl ict prevention and resolution at national and interna-tional levels

War can be abolished if we have the will to prepare for peace instead of for war. Some say that only strength will bring us peace. The truth is that only peace will bring us strength. As A.J. Muste once said, “there is no way to peace; peace is the way.”

LETTERSCompanies prefer freedom & fl exibility in right-to-work statesTo the editor,

The right to work bill passed the N.H. Senate recently by a 16 to 8 margin. It will be one of the great accomplishments of Republicans if it can be passed into law. N.H. would become the 23 rd state to become a right to work state. Lynch promises a veto if it reaches his desk. The opposi-tion says it will impede job creation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The economic growth, popu-lation growth and economic vitality of right to work states versus union states has been proven time and again. Right to work offers freedom of choice to individuals, corporations and taxpayers.

Use common sense. There are no companies leaving right to work states. Why? Because they have more freedom and options to deal with the challenges of starting and running businesses. Large companies with the most jobs at stake do everything in their power to avoid building and expanding their businesses in union states. The cries and protests of teach-ers, fi refi ghters, and cops is all about their ability to force THEIR AGENDA of higher wages and ever more lucra-tive benefi ts on to taxpayers. It is union people looking out for them selves FIRST and I challenge any one to illustrate otherwise.

A quick story that tells all about

unions and to right to work. Boeing aircraft headquartered in Washington state has been planning the launch of new 787 dream liner for several years. Manufacturing the dream liner would produce thousands of new, highly paid jobs as the plane becomes Boe-ing’s premier aircraft for the next decade. Boeing negotiated intensely for more than a year with the union trying to establish ground rules for a working agreement. Boeing wanted to build the plane in Washington. What Boeing got was a hard nosed union position including their non negotia-ble demand to force a union member on Boeing’s board of directors. That was the fi nal straw. Seeing that nego-tiations were going no where, Boeing went looking for a right to work state and found just what they wanted in South Carolina. Boeing shelled out about 1.5 billion dollars to build a new facility in South Carolina to manu-facture the dream liner. Thousands of jobs and billions in state revenue in countless forms went to right to work state South Carolina. The union is now trying to take Boeing to court and shut down the project on a hodge-podge of legal mumbo jumbo. Compa-nies WILL choose a right to work state every time if they have a choice and that is just pure COMMON SENSE.

Obama is simply the greatest snake oil salesman of all timeTo the editor,

I fi rst want to preface this letter with the fact that I am not and never will be a fan of Donald Trump. That being said, I am not and never will be a fan of Barack Obama. I also don’t have any interest in the issue of Obama’s birth because my issue with him is the fact that he was emi-nently unqualifi ed to be president of this country. In fact, after doing much research into his background before voting in the 2008 election the only organization that I found him to be

qualifi ed to be president of was Acorn.For Obama to refer to people that

questioned his place of birth as “car-nival barkers” is hysterical. Here is a man who will go down in history as the greatest snake oil salesman of all time. What he sold from the back of his wagon to the naïve people who voted for him ended with the same result as the products that were sold from the backs of wagons in the 19th century. They cured nothing.

LETTERSThere are people out there using racially motivated propagandaTo the editor,

Mr. Earle, in your recent letter, you accused me of mud slinging. How is it mud slinging when what I wrote was accurate. Marilyn Davenport did send the e-mail and attached picture and she is a self-proclaimed Tea Party activist. Anyone who looked at the picture would see it was certainly not comical and was racially insulting.

I do not have a problem with anyone criticizing the president. I don’t agree with everything he has done. What I have a problem with is the way some people are doing it. I have a problem with people, regardless of what party they belong to, using these types of tac-tics. I have a problem with people using ethnic idioms to express themselves. For the past 2 1/2 years these tactics have been present and I am sorry that you do not agree that this sort of behav-ior is not productive nor necessary to get a point across. I am not apologizing for stating I do not like this “crap”. I’ve never liked it. In my opinion we are all of one race — Human.

I’m sorry you feel I am incapable of comprehending that the president would not have been elected if not for

some votes from some Tea Party mem-bers. I am well aware of that. However that was not what I was speaking to. You decided to write your letter by taking my words and turning them to fit your script and hopefully chastise me for voicing my opinion as it doesn’t conform to yours. You simply do not want to seem to acknowledge that there are people out there who are using racially motivated propaganda and tactics.

And as a side note. I do not just listen to MSNBC or just read the Huffington Post. I read many different papers and listen to many different talk shows and news shows. In fact I get many different points of views. Years ago a very smart woman told me that if I learned one new thing every day then the day was worth living. I took those words to heart. I learn from reading and listening and do my best to digest the information and come to an informed conclusion. And I am well aware that my conclusion may be dif-ferent from the conclusion someone else has but that is okay!

I pray American people will speak out & stand up for our countryTo the editor,

Once again the ACLU raises its evil head. Last week in a town in Texas a few high school seniors said they would not stand for the Pledge of Alle-giance. The ACLU jumped to their defense and said not only do they not have to stand, but the pledge of alle-giance was too offensive for our chil-dren to speak. I’m sure they do not object to schools taking federal and state funding from a government the ACLU has the greatest contempt for. Why are our schools not standing up for their country? Could it be they agree with the ACLU? Have we forgotten the many men and women who fought and died and are still giving their lives for our country? Do we disrespect their contributions to our country that much that we refuse to stand up to show our respect for the American flag?

The ACLU is the greatest threat to the United States of America. The ACLU says it defends American civil liberties; nothing is further from the truth. This organization takes on any and every anti-American cause thats

purpose is to tear down America. It should be called the anti-American civil liberties union. How long are we going to remain silent while this and other anti-American organizations continue to tear down our country? In the past two years we have seen pro-gressives and liberals speed up their attacks on our country. We have an administration that has done more in the last two years to make us a third world country than any enemy we have ever known. They work from within and count on our complacency to do nothing, because we believe it could not happen here. Well it is hap-pening here and the enemy is from within. I pray the American people will speak out and stand up for Amer-ica. The Tea Party and others have shown what can be done when “we the people” take a stand.

Please join me in praying and speaking out for our country when we are attacked by those who dare to tear it down.

I don’t want to live with the guilt of knowing I killed while textingTo the editor,

Although texting while operating a moving vehicle is illegal in most states, America can’t seem to stop doing it. It kills thousands of people each year: the driver who was texting, and/or the victims they hit. A study done by the Virginia Tech Driving Institute shows that texting while driving is more dangerous than driv-ing under the influence of alcohol. If you’re texting while driving, you’re 23 times more likely to get in a car acci-dent than someone who is not.

Is it really that crucial for the person you’re texting to receive your message right away? It’s not hard to wait 10 minutes until you reach your destination or even pull over on the

side of the road if it’s that urgent. I don’t understand the impatience people have these days. You’re putting your life at extreme risk by doing it and most importantly, you’re putting multiple other innocent lives at risk.

I’d never want to live my life with the guilt of killing someone else because of such a careless, selfish act. It’s sad and embarrassing that teen-agers and adults are so wrapped up in their own lives they don’t care about what’s going on around them.

It’s time for everyone to stop think-ing about themselves so much and realize the severity of what they’re doing.

LETTERSDid we not just vote & clearly state the present model is not in favor?To the editor,

At the April 4 School Board meet-ing when Chairman Webber finally addressed Warrant Article 4, he clearly CONCLUDED as part of his weak presentation in support of having a superintendent that the voters of Gilford were confused in voting in favor of the Warrant Article. This week Citizen Webber cries vit-riol as he did not like my demand for an apology to the voters of Gilford for his fallacious claim. He stated that no apology was necessary as it was an opinion. What do the official minutes of the meeting say? Will a future chair use these meeting minutes to support a future argument against RSA 194c?

Now Soldier Webber states that he won’t back down from a fight. For the record I’m a veteran too. Also for the record, this side of the long Gray Line, the chain of command starts with the people. As Mr. Leandro pointed out to you, you are acting in direct contra-vention to the mission statement of the Gilford School Board that states that you are to operate according to the will of the people.

So now I’m not sure which one of the Webbers that I am addressing in this letter but I’ll let the three of him figure that out, as well as Mr. Babcock and Mr. Wernig.

Let me summarize the arguments that I’ve heard so far from those favor-ing the Gilford superintendent: “only a small percentage of the voters came out so it doesn’t count,” “get over it,” “I’m ill and fatigued,” “accept it,” “you don’t have kids in the Gilford system,” “you don’t volunteer,” and “the school board has made its decision to go with the present model … if you disagree you have the right to vote accordingly in the future.”

Did we not just vote and clearly state that the present model is not what we want? Are we to accept your extra con-stitutional position that a low voter turnout nullifies the will of the voters? Is this where Mr. Meade’s line is appro-priate regarding our educators?

Mr. Babcock may we use your phi-losophy. In your letter of a couple of years ago you wrote: “You people had your chance and you screwed it up royally, and now it’s our turn. Period.” Why would anyone expect that such a gracious winner then, would be a humble loser now?

But the questions have not all been

asked, let alone answered. I for one want to know why the School Board and SAU intentionally misled or lied to the Budget Committee this year when we asked for the time table of hiring the superintendent. And why did they accelerate the date of hire from that given to the Budget Committee in offi-cial session. Many other taxpayer ques-tions have yet to be addressed.

Mrs. Achinger said it well. “The super-intendent issue is symptomatic of the problem we are facing. The costs for our district are out of control.” I also stand by what I previously stated. The Gilford school costs, the metrics, are dispropor-tional to the rest of the state and nation. Our student population is dwindling, the results are marginal, and the School Board and SAU are not meeting their fiscal responsibility to the Gilford taxpay-ers. Some might call this mismanage-ment or malfeasance, not vitriol.

At the conclusion of the April 4 School Board meeting Dr. DeMinico put on the table a laundry list of budget cuts to be considered on the expectation that the state will be reducing funding to Gilford. If anyone was paying attention you would have noticed that the proposals were not that draconian. They would have been much simpler if the $175,000 cost of a superintendent was lopped off the top.

An item that did not get much atten-tion was the suggestion of cutting stipends for Gilford coaches. Let me share something interesting with you. During the Budget Committee review process this year Mr. Murphy pro-posed such a cut, which I supported. Several days after this session I was confronted by one mature member of our community and severely lam-basted by this individual. I muse, but I wonder if Dr. DeMinico will be sub-jected to the same mature treatment. Mr. Webbers, so you see, you three are not alone. There is vitriol in your encampment also.

As far as your concern that anyone might wish to discredit you guys, nobody needs to. You, your actions or your own words have done just fine in that regard.

Oh and one more thing Mr. Bab-cock, Its not “you people” it’s WE THE PEOPLE and we have voted again by a 2 to 1 margin to manage the Gilford school system without a superintendent.

ALTON — Longtime Gilford Elemen-tary School Principal Mike Tocci will serve another stint as interim principal at the Central School here. Tocci will begin his assignment on July 1.

Current principal Bonnie Jean Kuras submitted her resignation on March 24 and Superintendent Kathleen Holt announced Monday that the School Board had decided hire an interim prin-cipal rather than rush the process of finding a new principal in time for the start of the 2011-12 school year. She indicated that parents and other mem-bers of the community had expressed an interest in being involved in the selection process.

At its April 11 meeting, the board voted to contract the services of an interim principal through Granite State Transitional Principals, LLC and that firm assigned Tocci for the job.

Previously Tocci served as the interim principal at the Central School for the 2006-07 school year. Holt said that both she and the board believe Tocci’s prior experience at the

Mike Tocci coming back for another year as principal at Alton Central

school will serve the district well.“As we go into the new school year,

the Alton School Board plans to set a comprehensive process for the search for a new principal for Alton Central School,” said Holt. “The Board wishes to thank all those interested in the open position. Also, the Board wishes to thank the parents and community members who have expressed interest in participating in the hiring process.”

In the near future a notice will be made in the local papers indicating the process for parents and members of the public wishing to participate on the principal search team. If you have any questions please feel free to con-tact the superintendent at SAU #72, 875-7890.

Kuras came to Alton from the Hudson School District at the start of the 2007-08 school year.

Tocci retired from his Gilford posi-tion in 2004. Previous to serving in Alton in an interim capacity he was also interim principal at Barnstead Elementary School for two years.

sider raising the level. “The decision is consistent with the wish of the town.”

Penny Burke of New Hampton, who rallied residents of Lake Winona against low water, called the deci-sion “a fair and just compromise that should work for everybody.”

Meanwhile, Janan Hays of Mere-dith, a staunch champion of the lower level, expressed “surprise” at the deci-sion. Although she hastened to say “I respect DES’s decision,” she added “the information and data they pre-sented doesn’t appear to support it.”

DES decided to consider the oper-ating level after heavy rainfall led to high water in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, prompting waterfront property owners to report adverse impacts to both the environment and property throughout the watershed. A year ago, after two public forums and an opinion survey, DES introduced an interim operation plan prescribing that the lake be maintained at 539.5 between June 1 and November 1 with the assurance to issue a final decision this spring. with the promise .

The interim decision immediately divided shorefront property owners on Lake Waukewan and Lake Winona. Some complained that low water hin-dered docking and launching boats, posed navigational hazards and devalued shorefront property. Others claimed that high water flooded prop-erty, covered beaches , killed trees, eroded shorelines.

At two public meetings last summer, one in July and another in August, 52-percent of those attend-ing preferred a level above 539.5 feet. Likewise, petitions and surveys of residents of Lake Winona and Lake Waukewan indicated that comparable majorities on both lakes favored a higher level.

The Waukewan watershed stretches over 13-square-miles and consists of two lakes — Waukewan and Winona — joined by the Snake River and three ponds — Hawkins, Bear and Otter. Flanked by steep hills to the

east and west and fed by six streams, Lake Winona rises rapidly while a beaver dam on the Snake River and the level of Lake Waukewan limit the pace at which it empties.

The dam at the Inn at Mill Falls, now owned and operated by Rusty McLear of Hampshire Hospitality Holdings, Inc., has controlled water levels throughout the watershed since the early 19th century. The discharge capacity of the dam is very limited compared to the extent of the water-shed. Consequently, with rainfall the Lake Winona and Lake Waukewan rise quickly and empty slowly. During the severe storm of August 2008, the water level rose 1.8 feet and took 51 days to return to where it began.

In setting the operating level DES sought to balance the desire of shore-front residents and recreational boaters for more water against the need to com-pensate for meager discharge capac-ity by providing sufficient storage to mitigate the property damage and envi-ronmental impacts of prolonged high effects of prolonged high levels.

To strike that balance, Gallagher said that “540 means 540,” adding that the responsibility will fall to McLear as the owner of the dam. The decision specifies that “to protect the habitat and prop-erty along the shoreline of both lakes, DES is requiring that the operations of the dam be timely and aggressive so that Lake Waukewan is maintained at as consistent an elevation as possible.” Furthermore, the decision requires the dam owner to keep an operational log, noting the date and nature of every adjustment to the dam along with the lake level at the time.

“It will be a daily burden,” Galla-gher said.

Moreover, because the dam is clas-sified as a “high hazard dam” it must have sufficient discharge capacity to pass 250-percent of the 100-year flood with one foot of freeboard. DES calcu-lated that the lake level could be no higher than 539.9 feet to accommodate the more than two foot rise caused by

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — David Krejci scored 14:00 into overtime and the Boston Bruins beat Philadelphia 3-2 on Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Tim Thomas was phenomenal in net, stopping 46 straight shots after the Flyers took a quick 2-0 lead.

The series now shifts to Boston for the next two games on Wednesday and Friday.

Krejci fired a one-timer from one knee that rico-cheted off the back off the net and back onto the ice. Play continued until officials could review the call. But the goal was clearly good.

“At first I thought it was in. Then they kept play-ing,” Krejci said.

James van Riemsdyk had a breakout game for the Flyers. He scored two goals and was all over the ice trying to help the Flyers win at least one at home.

Instead, they have to rally from another deficit.Chris Kelly and Brad Marchand also scored for

the Bruins, who have taken a seemingly command-ing lead on the Flyers for the second straight year. Boston led 3-0 in the East semis a year ago before the Flyers won four straight to advance — including

Krejci’s OT goal gives Bruins 3-2 win & 2-0 series lead over Flyersa rally from a 3-0 hole in Game 7.

Thomas was on the bench for that collapse.He is determined not to let that happen on his

watch. Thomas, who finished with 52 saves Monday, was tested under pressure all game and shook off the slow start to stop everything fired his way.

Thomas stood strong when the Flyers outshot the Bruins 13-3 to open the third and took 22 overall in the period.

It was the one they didn’t shoot that haunted them. Danny Briere, who has seven goals this post-season, fanned on an easy look off a faceoff. Thomas was out of position after a blocked shot sent the puck to Briere, and the All-Star seemingly just had to con-nect. His second attempt was stopped by Thomas as the final seconds of regulation ticked off.

“By the third period, I was really starting to get into a rhythm which was a good thing because they were really getting off shots,” Thomas said.

Brian Boucher couldn’t hold off the OT charge.Boucher won games this postseason as a starter and

reliever. He mixed both in Game 2. Boucher stopped 21 shots before he left the game in the middle of the

second after he appeared to hurt his wrist.It was the fifth time in nine playoff games the

Flyers made a goalie switch — the first because of injury rather than ineffectiveness. The score was 2-2 when Boucher left and when he returned.

The crowd was rocking from the start after they heard the usual stirring rendition of “God Bless Amer-ica,” live by Lauren Hart and on video by the late Kate Smith. Fans chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!” after lineups were introduced, and again after the song was fin-ished, a day after Osama bin Laden was killed.

Van Riemsdyk kept 20,000 orange-clad fans roar-ing when he scored only 29 seconds into the game. He beat Thomas again midway into the period, mixing the power play with a dose of pride and patriotism, for the fast lead.

In these playoffs, a 2-0 lead almost seems like a 2-0 hole. The Flyers are forced to keep attacking because the goaltending has been so porous.

Sure enough, Boucher and the Flyers blew it in a hurry.Kelly scored off a rebound, and Marchand’s wris-

ter through Boucher’s legs gave Boston goals only 1:25 apart.

BOSTON (AP) — Dustin Pedroia fouled off nine pitches in a 13-pitch at-bat against Jered Weaver before lining a go-ahead, two-run single that helped the Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 9-5 on Monday night.

The loss was Weaver’s first of the season. Weaver (6-1) scratched Sunday due to a stomach virus, gave up three runs, six hits, struck out six and walked one over six innings. He failed to become the first pitcher since 1891 to go 7-0 by May 2 or sooner. Sadie McMahon of the Baltimore Orioles from the American Association was the last to open 7-0 by the second day of May.

Adrian Gonzalez had a three-run double and Clay Buchholz (2-3) pitched 6 2-3 solid innings for the win.

It was Boston’s second straight win after dropping four of five, and raised its record to 5-0 against the Angels this season. The Red Sox, who swept four games in Anaheim from April 21-24, have beaten Los Angeles 14 of the past 15 games.

Vernon Wells hit a two-run homer for the Angels, who had won four of six since being swept by Boston.

Buchholz, coming off a career-high 12 hits in a 4-1 loss at Baltimore in his last outing, held the Angels to two runs on eight hits, walking two and fanning two.

With the Red Sox trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Carl Craw-ford doubled and Jason Varitek walked before Jacoby Ellsbury bounced into a fielder’s choice, erasing Vari-tek at second. During Pedroia’s lenghty at-bat, Ells-bury stole second before the 2008 MVP won his battle with the two-run single to make it 3-2.

Pedroia’s lengthy at-bat sparks Red Sox in over AngelsGonzalez’s double, Kevin Youkilis’ RBI double and

David Ortiz’s two-run homer broke it open in the seventh, making it 9-2.

A soldier dressed in fatigues, seated next to the Red Sox dugout, held up a flag and led fans in a chant of ‘U-S-A’ early in the game. Ortiz hugged him on the way back after his shot into the Monster seats.

Boston grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on Youkilis’ RBI single.

The Angles tied it on Bobby Abreu’s RBI single after Maicer Izturis doubled with two outs, reach-ing second on a close play. Replays showed he was tagged just before he slid into the bag. In the first inning, he singled and was out trying to stretch it when he overslid the bag.

Los Angeles made it 2-1 in the fifth on Abreu’s run-scoring fielder’s choice.

There was a large flag draped over the 37-foor Green Monster for the national anthem, something usually reserved for Holidays and Opening Day. Members of the military lined up along the edge of the grass at the warning track in left and helped carry the flag off the field. Both teams lined up along their respective foul lines in front of their dugouts during a moment of silence and the anthem.

The moment of silence was held for victims of 9-11 and those that lost their lives since fighting for the country.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With its players again barred from work, the NFL told a federal appeals court Monday the fight over whether the lockout is legal won’t get in the way of the 2011 season.

The rest of the labor fight? That’s anyone’s guess.The league filed an 18-page brief with the 8th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, arguing that the lockout should remain in effect permanently while appeals play out.

The appeals court put U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson’s order lifting the 45-day lockout on hold temporarily last week. The owners reinstated the lockout a few hours later, and they want a more permanent stay of Nelson’s order so they can argue that it should be overturned altogether.

A decision from the appeals court is expected soon.The players have argued there is no guarantee

appeals can be wrapped up in time for the regular season, but the NFL said the process — thanks to a request for an expedited hearing — is more a matter of weeks than months.

Still, the St. Louis Rams announced via Twit-ter they’re pushing back the deadline for renew-ing season tickets to June 1 to give fans “flexibility given the current labor uncertainty.” Other teams have previously adjusted prices and renewal plans to account for the lockout.

GILFORD — With the School Board being bad-gered by critics claiming the School District has among the highest per pupil costs in the state, Scott Isabelle, assistant superintendent for business, last night explained how the New Hampshire Depart-ment of Education (DOE) calculates its figures and cautioned against comparisons.

Isabelle told the board that cost per pupil repre-sents expenditures divided by the “average daily membership in attendance.” However, he was quick to explain that a number of expenses are excluded from the calculation, including tuition paid to other districts, transportation, debt service on borrowings, and payments for vehicle and equipment purchases. Expenditures for programs and services not directly associated with elementary and secondary educa-tion are also excluded.

Gilford School Board told state methodology makes it difficult to compare per pupil costs between districts

Isabelle said that comparisons are often mislead-ing. For example, the range of grades taught in ele-mentary and middle schools differs from one school district to another. Likewise, he pointed out that the cost of providing special education services in the district, as Gilford does, is included in the cost per pupil while the cost of out-of-district placements, which is significantly higher is not.

Without dismissing the cost per pupil data pro-vided by the DOE, Isabelle described it as “one piece of the puzzle.”

Kevin Leandro, who has challenged the School Board’s decision to appoint a superintendent despite the expressed preference of the voters in 1998 and again this year, told Isabelle that taxpayers approach the cost per pupil differently.

“They take the school budget and divide by the enrollment,” he said. “That’s how the taxpayers look at it.”

municipal lot, add eight parallel parking spaces to two sections of Mill Street, and create four spaces in Nelson Court.

He also recommended restricting the upper and lower Fuller Street parking spaces to municipal employees only between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday and adding a one-hour limit to the existing spaces on Main Street and a portion of the municipal lot Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Selectmen asked Biaocchetti to conduct the study last month after some of the Main Street merchants and library customer brought some parking issues to Selectboard Chair Jon Pike.

While the board was overall pleased with the initial recommendation, Selectman David Morse objected to providing municipally-maintained spaces for the tenants of one downtown building without any parking.

“Why don’t we add those four spaces to the (munic-

ipal properties) sale,” said Morse.“I don’t recommend that,” replied Baiocchetti who

noted that the people who live in the village without private parking are always going to find some place to park and in his opinion, this solution, restrict-ing parking to municipal employees during the day, would be the easiest to enforce.

Selectman Rob Cormier agreed with the chief, saying allowing private residential parking in four paces out of 72 available was fine with him.

“I like zero out of 68,” said Morse.Another issue raised by Morse and to which

Cormier agreed was creating less spaces in the “green space” on the road leading to the library and the gazebo.

“I think 15 spaces is too aggressive,” Morse said. Cormier suggested adding four new spaces for the present and reconsidering adding more in the future.

Baiocchetti said he would draft the proposed ordi-nance and return to selectmen who will review the second proposal and schedule the public hearing.

will make sure that this trend does not continue.”The House projected this winter that revenues

were too rosy and the state would end the year $50 million in deficit as a result.

Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley said the revenue picture is troubling.

“I think it just shows we’re talking about next year’s budget and the House’s revenue number (for this year) is proving to be, unfortunately, accurate. That should be a concern to all of us,” said Bradley, of Wolfeboro.

Lynch’s budget adviser John Beardmore said April’s revenues were almost $30 million below pro-jections. April’s receipts added to the $17 million the state is behind so far this year bring the total poten-tial shortfall to $47 million. New Hampshire’s gen-eral fund budget for this fiscal year is just under $1.5 billion. The total budget for the year after including federal, highway and other funds is $5.8 billion.

Beardmore said Lynch has pushed agencies to spend less. He said Lynch expects agencies to save $18 million more in their budgets than expected.

laborative will help in both regards, he said.

“We feel this is bringing a level of rigor in addition to the sharing that will happen that could really take us forward,” he said.

The first session is set for June 29-July 1, when teams from partici-pating colleges and universities will come to Dartmouth. In between face-to-face sessions, participants will attend monthly “virtual” meetings and schools can draw on the resources of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and nationwide experts on binge drinking. The cost to participate is $20,000.

Nearly 2,000 college students in the United States die each year from alcohol-related injuries, and an esti-mated 600,000 are injured, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. At Dartmouth, where binge drinking rates are at the national average, students recently

implemented a plan to train and pay students to monitor parties and inter-vene if they see someone in trouble, Kim said.

“People ask me all the time what keeps me up at night as president, and my answer is really pretty straight-forward: I think a lot about the pos-sibility of losing one of our students to binge drinking, and I think about all the harms that can happen, every-thing from injuries to sexual assaults,” he said. “I don’t think it’s possible to work too hard on trying to prevent a death from binge drinking or to pre-vent the harms that are related to it.”

In addition to Dartmouth, the ini-tiative includes Boston University, Cornell University, Duke University, Frostburg State University, North-western University, Ohio University, Princeton University, Purdue Uni-versity, Sewanee: The University of the South, Stanford University, Stony Brook University, University of Wyo-ming and Wesleyan University.

crats and the Liberals together win enough seats to form a New Demo-crat-led coalition.

“We can change the government. We’re not just going to oppose Mr. Harper, we’re going to replace him,” said New Democrat leader Jack Layton, whose party has socialist roots.

Ekos, a private polling company, gave the Conservatives 34.6 percent, the New Democrats 31.4 percent and the Liberals 20.4 percent. The pollsters said they questioned 3,268 people with a margin of error of 1.7 percentage points. A series of other polls have reported similar results.

“It’s a complete shocker,” Nelson Wiseman, a professor at the Univer-sity of Toronto, said of what’s been dubbed the “orange wave” of New Democrat support. Orange is the par-ty’s color. “It really is quite remark-able. You could never tell in the first

weeks that this would happen.”Another surprise is that polls predict

the New Democrats would eclipse the Liberals, who throughout Canadian history were the party that was either in power or leading the opposition.

The sudden shift reflected in the polls raised another, even more improb-able scenario: that the New Democrats would win the most votes and leader Layton, a little known figure outside Canada, would become prime minister.

The New Democrats’ gains are being attributed to Layton’s strong performance in the debates, a folksy, upbeat message and a desire by the French-speakers in Quebec, the second most populous prov-ince, for a new face after growing weary of the separatist Bloc Quebecois.

Layton favors higher taxes and more social spending. He has been a critic of Alberta’s oil sands sector, the world’s second largest oil reserves but a major polluter.

CANADA from page 2pers at the National Security Agency kept coming up cold.

Then in the middle of last year, the courier had a telephone conversation with someone who was being moni-tored by U.S. intelligence, according to an American official, who like others interviewed for this story spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation. The courier was located somewhere away from bin Laden’s hideout when he had the dis-cussion, but it was enough to help intel-ligence officials locate and watch him.

In August 2010, the courier unknow-ingly led authorities to a compound in the northeast Pakistani town of Abbot-tabad, where al-Libi had once lived. The walls surrounding the property were as high as 18 feet and topped with barbed wire. Intelligence officials had known about the house for years, but they always suspected that bin Laden would be surrounded by heavily armed secu-rity guards. Nobody patrolled the com-pound in Abbottabad.

In fact, nobody came or went. And no telephone or Internet lines ran from the compound. The CIA soon believed that bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, in a hideout especially built to go unnoticed. But since bin Laden

never traveled and nobody could get onto the compound without passing through two security gates, there was no way to be sure.

Despite that uncertainty, intelligence officials realized this could represent the best chance ever to get to bin Laden. They decided not to share the informa-tion with anyone, including staunch counterterrorism allies such as Britain, Canada and Australia.

By mid-February, the officials were convinced a “high-value target” was hiding in the compound. President Barack Obama wanted to take action.

“They were confident and their con-fidence was growing: ‘This is differ-ent. This intelligence case is different. What we see in this compound is dif-ferent than anything we’ve ever seen before,’” John Brennan, the presi-dent’s top counterterrorism adviser, said Monday. “I was confident that we had the basis to take action.”

Options were limited. The compound was in a residential neighborhood in a sovereign country. If Obama ordered an airstrike and bin Laden was not in the compound, it would be a huge diplomatic problem. Even if Obama was right, obliterating the compound might make it nearly impossible to

LACONIA — A woman arrested last week in a Tilton and Franklin drug sweep was ordered held on $3,000 cash bail for a probation violation by a Belknap County Superior Court judge yesterday.

Stephanie “Shorty” Patuleia, 21, of 211 Flaghole Road in Andover was convicted in 2008 on two counts of the Class B felony of being a principal or an accomplice to burglary for her role in two 2007 Sanbornton burglaries.

In May of 2008, she was sentenced to 12 months with all but three months suspended for one charge and two to four years in the New Hampshire State Prison for the second conviction. All of the prison sentence was suspended pending seven years of good behavior.

According to a petition to the court from her parole offi cer, Patuleia turned herself into the Franklin Police on April 21 when she learned the Tilton Police has issued a warrant for her arrest for conspiracy to

Young woman arrested in Tilton drug bust held on $3,000 cash bail for alleged probation violation

commit drug sales — a new Class B felony.Franklin Police notifi ed the parole offi cer and she

was taken to Merrimack County House of Correc-tion to await her appearance last week in Franklin District Court.

Tilton Police affi davits indicate the newest war-rant and charges were issued after she allegedly agreed to make a marijuana and Percocet — a pow-erful painkiller — purchase for an undercover agent.

The agent allegedly gave Petuleia some money and she and an accomplice said they needed to borrow a vehicle to get the drugs.

The two never returned with the drugs or the money.

The agent allegedly made a second attempt to purchase Ritalin from Patuleia who said she would only sell the pills, denying stealing the money for the fi rst attempted drug buy.

— Gail Ober

confi rm bin Laden’s death.Said Brennan: “The president had to evaluate the

strength of that information, and then made what I believe was one of the most gutsiest calls of any president in recent memory.”

Obama tapped two dozen members of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six to carry out a raid with surgi-cal accuracy.

Before dawn Monday morning, a pair of helicop-ters left Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. The chop-pers entered Pakistani airspace using sophisticated technology intended to evade that country’s radar systems, a U.S. offi cial said.

Offi cially, it was a kill-or-capture mission, since the U.S. doesn’t kill unarmed people trying to sur-render. But it was clear from the beginning that whoever was behind those walls had no intention of surrendering, two U.S. offi cials said.

The helicopters lowered into the compound, drop-ping the SEALs behind the walls. No shots were fi red, but shortly after the team hit the ground, one of the helicopters came crashing down and rolled onto its side for reasons the government has yet to explain. None of the SEALs was injured, however, and the mission continued uninterrupted.

With the CIA and White House monitoring the situation in real time — presumably by live satel-lite feed or video carried by the SEALs — the team stormed the compound.

Thanks to sophisticated satellite monitoring, U.S. forces knew they’d likely fi nd bin Laden’s family on the second and third fl oors of one of the buildings on the property, offi cials said. The SEALs secured the rest of the property fi rst, then proceeded to the room where bin Laden was

hiding. A fi refi ght ensued, Brennan said.The SEALs killed bin Laden with a bullet to the

head. Using the call sign for his visual identifi cation, one of the soldiers communicated that “Geronimo” had been killed in action, according to a U.S. offi cial.

Bin Laden’s body was immediately identifi able, but the U.S. also conducted DNA testing that identifi ed him with near 100 percent certainty, senior adminis-tration offi cials said. Photo analysis by the CIA, confi r-mation on site by a woman believed to be bin Laden’s wife, who was wounded, and matching physical fea-tures such as bin Laden’s height all helped confi rm the identifi cation. At the White House, there was no doubt.

“I think the accomplishment that very brave personnel from the United States government were able to realize yesterday is a defi ning moment in the war against al-Qaida, the war on terrorism, by decapitating the head of the snake known as al-Qaida,” Brennan said.

U.S. forces searched the compound and fl ew away with documents, hard drives and DVDs that could provide valuable intelligence about al-Qaida, a U.S. offi cial said. The entire operation took about 40 minutes, offi cials said.

Bella Beads to host weekend of beading workshopsCENTER HARBOR — Bella Beads will host a

weekend of beading workshops with internationally known fiber artist, teacher, and author Carol Cypher on Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14.

Sue Vachon, owner of Bella Beads, has been offer-ing certification in bead weaving at Plymouth State University in association with Frost School of Con-tinuing and Professional Studies, using Cypher’s “Mastering Beadwork” as the textbook.

In Saturday’s day-long workshop, “Elements of Beadwork,” three or more bead-weaving stitches will be learned through demonstration, following an illustrated recipe, personal attention, and hands-on experience of creating a sample. Then each new stitch will be reinforced and explored by sampling a variation of the stitch. The workshop will conclude

with beautiful one-of-a-kind necklaces composed of the samplers and various focal and seed beads.

From 6 — 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Cypher will sign copies of her book. Light refreshments will be served and the opportunity to chat will be available.

On Sunday, two three-hour workshops will provide greater opportunity for area beaders to work with Cypher. One will focus on creating a Drop Bangle Bracelet — a lovely, comfortable, and durable bracelet that conveys the versatile and sometimes beguiling double-needle right angle weave. The other workshop will feature the Undu-lating Beaded Bead, a new faster way to make intricate, spiraling, tubular beadwork to wear as a beaded bead on a chain or made longer for a necklace or bracelet.

Early registration for either or both workshops is encouraged. Call Bella Beads at 253-9010.

New Horizons Band to perform at Veterans’ HomeTILTON — The New Horizons Band will present

a concert at the New Hampshire Veteran’s Home at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 7.

The Lakes Region band was founded three years ago by music educator Mary Divers, and recently

played a joint concert in Portsmouth with another New Horizons band.

Saturday’s program will include familiar show tunes and lively marches.

Anyone who would like to join New Horizons and experience the fun of making music with other people is encouraged to register at the Music Clinic in Belmont at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3. For more information call Divers at 524-8570, or the Clinic at 528-6672.

There are two simple rules to follow when it comes to spending: Pay cash if you can and borrow smart if you can’t.

What’s the smartest way to borrow? Tap your home’s equity. Why?

• You can use the money for anything.

• Interest payments are usually tax deductible—check with your tax adviser to be sure.

• Choose either a term loan or credit line—Northway can help you decide which is right for you.

Northway can show you ways to keep borrowing costs low by paying your loan back fast. Call 800-442-6666, go to northwaybank.com, or visit any Northway banking center.

For the first 12 months / 10-year draw period2

Consumer loan requires application and qualification criteria be met. Not all customers may qualify. Property insurance is required. Payments do not include insurance and taxes (if applicable); the actual payment would be greater. No closing costs, except for Trust Review Fee, if applicable. 1) Minimum loan amount is $25,000 and must represent loan balances not currently owed to Northway Bank. 2) 10 year draw period. 20 year total term. Minimum loan amount of $15,000 and must represent loan balances not currently owed to Northway Bank. Introductory 2.99% APR is fixed for the first 12 months. Thereafter, the APR will adjust to the applicable variable APR.

Volunteer families needed to host ‘Fresh Air’ kids this summer

LACONIA — Volunteer families are needed to open their homes and host a “Fresh Air” child this summer.

Close to 5,000 New York City children visit vol-unteer host families every summer through The Fund’s Friendly Town program. Residents in and around the Laconia area can help light up the face of a Fresh Air child this summer by hosting through The Fresh Air Fund.

Since 1877, New York City children growing up in low-income neighborhoods have been able to experi-ence simple summer pleasures in rural and subur-ban communities. By welcoming visitors into their homes during the summer, host families give Fresh Air children an opportunity to escape the sometimes dangerous, hot, and crowded city streets.

First-time Fresh Air children are between the ages of 6 — 12. Many families find their hosting experiences so rewarding that more than 65 percent of all children are re-invited to stay with the same host families, year after year. Hosting a child does not take much — just a little room in one’s heart and home — but the experience creates friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

For more information about hosting a Fresh Air child, call Lisa Bladecki at 524-4420, or The Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003, or visit www.freshair.org.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You go out of your way to get mental perspec-tive. No one can accuse you of missing the forest for the trees. You’ll see the trees, the forest, the continent they are on and the curve of the planet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not sure how far to take an idea. There are expenses involved, and you’re not sure whether it would be worthwhile to incur those expenses. The answer is: not yet. Don’t put your money into this until you are certain. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stay-ing on course will be a challenge. Your mind fi res in many directions at once. Your social interaction may feel unfo-cused. Yet the whimsy of your mood produces bits of creativity that turn out to be both interesting and lucrative. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s something you could do better if you had formal instruction in it. The training is not as diffi cult to get, time consuming or costly as you think it will be. Go for it! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is a person who goes in after you clean, polish and present all the work you’ve done. Honor and praise this often-unsung helper. Make your appreciation widely known. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you have thoughts that are inappropriate or prejudiced, keep them to yourself and don’t worry too much. This is only a sign that you have let down your guard and are in a highly creative mode. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What a bit of fun you’ll get into today. Some might even call it trouble, and they wouldn’t be far off, either. But it’s the kind of fun/trouble that bubbles up and

then recedes just as quickly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You might take certain shortcuts when you’re walking alone, but you wouldn’t bring others down the same potentially treacherous path -- too risky. Your pro-tective nature emerges tonight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve worked hard to achieve a cer-tain standard in your work, and now you need to work just as hard to market it. The response you receive will be directly correlated to the number of times you put yourself out there. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You infuse your activities with the quali-ties that make you shine: attitude, vision and creativity. A little nuisance project could be the start of a huge enterprise. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have double the energy of yesterday, so don’t let it go to waste. Go beyond what you did yesterday. If you walked a mile, walk two. If you read an article, fi nish the whole magazine. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll benefi t by trying to see the other side of an equation. For instance, maybe it’s not the people involved in a problem who are to blame for it, but the situation and environment they are in. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 3). You have skills, and the next 10 weeks bring several opportunities to apply them and gain maximum personal and fi nancial satisfaction. July brings the attainment of a treasured possession. Domestic life gains fresh energy in August. You’ll attract fans in September. You share a special connection with Scorpio and Cancer people. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 18, 43 and 14.

New Hampton School receives $2 million grantNEW HAMPTON – New Hampton School

announced on Friday that it has received a $2 mil-lion dollar gift from Dean Jacobson, Class of 1968. In an historic display of his commitment to his alma mater, Jacobson, Chair of the School’s capital cam-paign, has pledged a lead gift of $2 million dollars for the construction of a new ice hockey center.

“We are humbled by the generosity and foresight of Dean and his family,” New Hampton Head of School Andrew Menke said. “This gift will inspire others to step forward to support what promises to be a wonderful space for our student-athletes and faculty to engage with each other and continue our great tradition of ice hockey here at New Hampton. It also continues our amazing momentum with the GO BEYOND campaign that has raised nearly $29 million since 2007.”

Jacobson was a three-sport athlete in soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse at New Hampton before matric-ulating to Colgate University. He is the owner of BoDeans Baking, the country’s leading producer of specialty ice cream cones and chocolate ice cream sandwich wafers. A four-year student at New Hamp-ton who came to NHS from Long Island, Jacobson had not returned to New Hampton until 2008, when he attended a celebration for Headmaster Emeritus T. Holmes Moore’s 70th reunion.

“I was re-inspired, and since then I have gotten involved in a number of things at the School,” Jacob-son said at a Board of Trustees dinner with faculty on Thursday night. “I’m doing this for one reason. I’m extremely impressed with the leadership of Andrew Menke and his team and what they’re doing and the direction they are taking the School.”

Though Jacobson hopes his gift will inspire others to support the funding of a new ice hockey facility, he is quick to point out in his role as Campaign Chair that the restoration of historic Meservey Hall will be his primary goal moving forward. The Meservey res-toration will provide a new home for the Academic Support Program and the History Department.

“We still have a lot to do here,” Jacobson said after Andrew Menke announced the gift. “Hopefully my contribution will be followed by other lead contribu-tors that we are working on now and will lead to the upgrade of the Meservey facility. That is our top priority right now. I hope we’re getting very close to

securing a lead donor for Meservey. Let’s not lose focus on that. That’s our number one priority.”

Chairman of the Board of Trustees Peter Galletly, a 1973 graduate and a parent of an alumna, was one of two additional New Hampton supporters who made pledges to the School on Friday. Galletly, who noted he was moved by Jacobson’s gift, pledged an undisclosed six-figure gift toward the Meservey project, and a cur-rent parent also committed an undisclosed six-figure amount to the Meservey restoration.

“This is multigenerational for me,” Galletly said to the dinner guests on Thursday. “It’s not going to stop. It’s not about my gift but about what we’re trying to do for the School. …I think what Dean has done recently in order to keep the momentum in the GO BEYOND campaign going is remarkable. Dean inspired me with his gift. I feel such a warmth of emotion to the School and I know we can “Go Beyond” and do so much more in the future.”

After the construction of a synthetic turf field and the 2009 dedication of the $10-million dollar Pilalas Center for Math and Science, New Hampton School’s most ambitious capital campaign continues to gain force in its final two years.

New Hampton School Director of Development Sandy Colhoun is confident that GO BEYOND will reach even greater heights given the statement that Jacobson’s transformative gift will make at this juncture of the campaign.

“Dean’s leadership of the GO BEYOND campaign has been critical to the success of this historic effort,” Colhoun said. “Words can’t express our gratitude for this stunning commitment. We look forward to shar-ing designs for the new hockey rink with the NHS community and thank Dean and his wife Bo for this game-changing pledge.”

Founded in 1821, New Hampton School is an inde-pendent, co-educational, college preparatory secondary school of 305 students who come from over 30 states and 19 countries. NHS prepares students for lifelong learning through self-discovery, authentic relation-ships, civic responsibility, and global citizenship. Stu-dents benefit from an average class size of eleven and a student-faculty ratio of five to one. For more informa-tion, please visit www.newhampton.org.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have been with my husband for more than 25 years. During that period, he has cheated countless times, left me for other women and developed a crack habit. I have tried to stick it out because I believe marriage is for better or worse. Right now is defi nitely “worse.” He will not admit that he has a problem. He hangs out with some shady individuals who knock on our door day and night. He cannot pay the bills because he spends the money on drugs. If I venture an opinion, he blows his top or leaves the house and stays out until the next morning. He constantly accuses me of cheating. It does not seem like a marriage anymore. We share the same bed and try to be cordial to each other. But we are like roommates. I know it is over. I have no money, no car and no job, so I do not see a way out of this. I have been trying to fi nd affordable housing for my daughters and me, but it’s impossible without an income. He is not willing to leave, and I have no place to go. How can I get over him while we are living in the same house? -- Lost Dear Lost: Many states have job-training programs for women in your position. Call the governor’s offi ce or your state Dept. of Labor and ask. Most states also now offer 2-1-1 phone lines that can direct you to resources, including low-cost legal assistance. And please reach out to your family, church and local community centers for help. Dear Annie: Please settle a disagreement. After 40 years of mental abuse, I fi nally ended the toxic relationship with my mother in order to keep my hard-won sobriety. Except when absolutely necessary, we have not spoken in more than 10 years. The problem is what to say when someone asks, “How is your mother?” I reply honestly, “I don’t know. We don’t

speak.” My husband says I should simply say, “She’s fi ne,” and leave it at that. But the one time I did, the woman ex-claimed, “How can that be? She was in a car wreck yester-day!” leaving us both embarrassed. What is the best way to handle such inquiries? -- Better Off Without Mom Dear Better Off: If you don’t mind telling people that you are not speaking to your mother, it’s fi ne to say so, as long as it doesn’t provoke a long-winded lecture. We recommend a slightly altered response: “I don’t know. I haven’t spoken to her recently.” It’s honest, without giving too much personal information, which, we assume, is your husband’s main ob-jection. Dear Annie: I generally agree with your advice, but I think you blew it with “Tatted,” the girl who got a tattoo and was afraid to tell her dad. I agree that she should tell him right away, but to say it was OK because she is an adult is ludi-crous. Just because you are 18 doesn’t make you an adult. If she is living with her father, she has to abide by his rules. When you can support yourself, pay your own bills and live sepa-rately, you can get your tattoo. If you talk in the theater, the ushers will throw you out. If you smoke in a restaurant, you will be asked to leave. So why should an 18-year-old do what she wants without regard to the rules set down by the person supporting her? It’s his house. -- Bill Dear Bill: Your analogy only goes so far. Dad can certainly ask his daughter to move out over this. But would you feel the same if he dictated what kind of makeup she can buy with her own money? Even if you believe she is immature, she is in fact a legal adult and entitled to pay for her own tattoo. If Daddy never allows her to make her own choices -- good or bad -- she will never learn to be responsible.
