GORHAM— The Gorham town hall auditorium will host its fi rst per-formance since 2005 this weekend.

The auditorium is ready to host pro-ductions and meetings after it’s been closed and under renovations for more than fi ve years. After the Friday night concert, which the town is co-hosting with the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, the town is starting to see the calendar for the venue fi ll-ing up.

“We’re really excited to have the space open and have so much interest from non-profi ts,” said Denise Vallee, director of fi nance and administration for the town. She added it’s great that the town can fi nally host events like this concert.

The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and the town of Gorham will host a performance titled “The Nature of Dances and Dreams” a con-

CRAWFORD NOTCH — The woman searchers found near the summit of Mount Jackson on Sunday could wind up being charged for her rescue, even though the rescuers who found her credit her skill and preparedness for her survival.

“She’s alive today because she was smart,” said Rick Wilcox, president of Mountain Rescue Ser-vice, the volunteer rescue service that found Julie Horgan.

Horgan, 61, of Milton, Mass., spent Saturday night outside at almost 4,000 feet, but she was neither hypothermic nor frostbitten when searchers found her around 10 a.m. Sunday.

The wind was blowing more than 70 mph and the

temperature was near zero that night.“It was pretty brutal. We were certainly antici-

pating some injuries,” said Alain Comeau, one of the three MRS rescuers who found Horgan Sunday morning. “It was a surprise to fi nd her in good health. She was well equipped, she did everything right.”

Horgan spent the night marching in place just below treeline.

“You could see this track where she was stomp-ing all night long,” said Steve Larson, another of the MRS members who found Horgan. “She was in much better shape than I would have been had I gone through what she went through.”

Horgan’s plan, according to rescuers, was to go out for a day hike of Mount Jackson, a 4,052 foot peak south of Mount Washington on the Appala-

chian Trail. She climbed up the mountain from the west on a well-packed trail wearing double plastic boots and snowshoes. She had multiple layers of winter clothing but no overnight gear. She reached Mount Jackson’s summit in the afternoon, where she intended to turn around and return the way she came up before dark.

Instead, she unwittingly wound up walking south along the Appalachian Trail, which was not packed, until she hit the trees.

She searched in vain for the packed trail through the trees she’d come up on. Around 3:30 p.m. she called a friend using her cell phone. New Hampshire Fish and Game was notifi ed at 3:40 p.m.

Fish and Game sent offi cers to search for her after

SAYWHAT...The short words are best, and the

old words are the best of all.”

—Winston Churchill

(NY Times) — Prop designers and dealers by trade, Kenyan Lewis and Grace Kelsey are collec-tors of early 20th-century Americana, objects that date, roughly, from the end of the Victorian era through the machine age.

The line is drawn at the 1950s: “We don’t get into that stuff,” said Mr. Lewis, 39.

He and Ms. Kelsey, 33, gave up their apartment on the Lower East Side in 2008, and now rent a house in Accord, N.Y., a hamlet about two and a half hours north of Manhattan. When they moved, their belong-ings fi lled two 26-foot moving trucks; they made an additional trip with one of the trucks, plus fi ve more trips with a minivan. The contents included stacks of Popular Mechanics maga-zines from the 1930s and 1940s, vintage patterns and buttons, tube radios and old fans, camp blankets, books, decanters.

Throughout the house, which dates from 1890, the new is scarcely evident, except in the offi ce, where a worn 30-foot American fl ag is draped along a window near three computer work-stations, and in the modestly sized attic, where a 73-inch TV looms like a drive-in movie screen. (Living in Accord, they don’t get out much, they explained; Net-fl ix provides entertainment.)

SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — An explosion at a weapons factory in southern Yemen Monday morn-ing killed scores of people, according to a hospital in the southern city of Jaar.

On Sunday, militants took over government build-ings in Jaar, known as a Qaeda haven, as well as the nearby factory in the same province, Abyan.

Some news reports said that the militants took some material and left, and that the explosion occurred after a fi re broke out when others entered

to loot the factory. Some said a cigarette started the fi re.

“This accident is a true catastrophe, the fi rst of its kind in Abyan,” said a doctor at the state-run hospi-tal in Jaar, according to Reuters. “There are so many burned bodies. I can’t even describe the situation.”

Responders were having diffi culty identifying remains amid the chaos and destruction. Counts ranged from about 80 to more than 100. Some were to be buried in mass graves.

Scores dead in blast at Yemen weapons factory

TOKYO (NY Times) — Highly contaminated water is escaping a damaged reactor at the crippled nuclear power plant in Japan and could soon leak into the ocean, the coun-try’s nuclear regulator warned on Monday.

The discovery poses a further setback to efforts to contain the nuclear crisis as workers fi nd themselves in increasingly haz-

ardous conditions.In another new fi nding, Tokyo

Electric Power Company, which runs the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power station, said late Monday that it had detected an increase in levels of plutonium in soil samples taken from within the compound a week ago, raising fears of yet another dangerous element that may be escaping the crippled reactors.

It was unclear where the plutonium had come from. The reactors could be a source, and tests of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, which ended in 1980, left trace amounts of plutonium around the world. The highest levels in the soil, of plutonium 238, were found about 500 yards from the most heavily damaged reactors, the company said.

Rebel advance halted outside Qaddafi ’s hometown

BIN JAWWAD, Libya (NY Times) — Rebel forces’ westward charge was repulsed on Monday by a barrage of tank and artillery fi re from forces guarding one of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi ’s most crucial bastions of support, while the American military warned on Monday that the insurgents’ rapid advances could quickly be reversed without continued coali-tion air support.

“The regime still vastly over-matches opposition forces mil-itarily,” Gen. Carter F. Ham, the ranking American in the coalition operation, warned in an e-mail message on Monday. “The regime possesses the capability to roll them back very quickly. Coalition air power is the major reason that has not happened.”

The sober assessment came as President Obama prepared to address the nation on Monday night about the American role in Libya amid continuing questions about its objectives and duration.

CONCORD — A very low concen-tration of radioactive material, pos-sibly from Japan, has been detected in snow in New Hampshire, state health offi cials said.

The Department of Health and Human Services said radioiodine was found in a test area at HHS in Concord. The concentration was 40 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) — about half of what was detected in Mas-sachusetts.

New Hampshire health offi cials said the low amount of material represents no health threat.

A sample of rainwater in Mas-sachusetts showed the presence of radioiodine-131, but nothing was found in drinking water reservoirs. Health offi cials have been monitor-ing the possible spread of radioac-tive material from Japan as workers there struggle to bring under con-trol nuclear reactors damaged in the recent earthquake and tsunami.

New Hampshire Public Health Director Dr. Jose Montero said the amount measured was so low that it couldn’t be detected by the air radiation monitoring system in Concord. The material was found in snow that fell last week, and Mon-tero said eventually fi nding some material from Japan was inevitable.

“After a release happens, we know we are going to fi nd it here — it was a matter of time — and we just did,” he said.

Health offi cials were able to link the specifi c material to the reactors in Japan. Montero said the radio-iodine presents no threat to drink-ing water or food, and it has a short half-life, so it deteriorates quickly.

On a normal day, the radio chem-istry lab in Concord conducts rou-tine tests of the seawater and soil around the nuclear power plant in Seabrook. Health offi cials said that at this point, there is no cause to step up testing, but should further releases of radioactive material occur at the Fukushima plant, that could change.

“Certainly, we are going to keep looking, keep monitoring and keep informing the public if anything changes,” Montero said.

Montero said there is also no threat to those most vulnerable to radiation -- infants and pregnant women. He said the concentration found is 25 times below the level that would be of concern for women and infants if they used that snow as their sole source of water over a short period of time.

Ill seal rescued in N.H.PORTSMOUTH — Marine wild-

life experts are hoping an under-weight, possibly sick harp seal found in a New Hampshire marsh can be cured and released back into the ocean.

The 200-pound, 5-foot seal was fi rst noticed Friday in a marsh behind the Little Harbor School in Portsmouth.

On Saturday, a New England Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue crew took the seal to the University

of New England in Biddeford, Maine, where it will undergo rehabilitation in hopes it can be released.

The New England Aquarium’s Tony LaCasse told the Portsmouth Herald the seal was between 50 and 100 pounds underweight.

Offi cials said if anyone sees a seal out of water for an extended time, they should call the aquarium’s marine animal center in Boston.

Botany was never my strong suit in prep school. Actually, I didn’t have any strong suits, not even one. I fl unked my way through every subject and the school should have thrown me out, but they fi gured, Well, he comes from a good family, so he’ll come around.

I never came around, I couldn’t even get a passing grade in subjects that I actually liked. One of those was Latin, and I did realize that if you don’t know Latin you can’t really know English, and I suspected that English could be very useful and practically every tree and plant in the world has a Latin name, which was about the only other thing I liked in prep school. So I paid attention.

I had three years of Latin, and even though I failed my way through all the tests, the sen-tence structure and the vocabulary and the way Latin thinks stayed with me, and in the years since then hardly a day goes by when I don’t fi nd some use for that language. I just couldn’t pass the tests that might have led a starchy prep school faculty to think that I might have some chance in life.

All of which is to say that I can’t identify the small handful of slender greenish dried-out twigs that have been on the fl oor behind my wood stove ever since I moved in many years ago. They’re thicker than a soda straw but thin-ner than a common yellow pencil, they’re rigid, and they have nodes about eight inches apart. They might be related to the bamboo family, but that wasn’t covered in the botany class that

I fl unked. I don’t actually care whether I know their Latin names or not, or remember why I left them behind my stove some time back, or even how I got them at all, it’s enough to remember that one of their very near relatives got me out of a very diffi cult spot one winter day in Switzerland.

It was during one of my winters on the staff of the U.S. Women’s Alpine Ski Team, where one of my jobs was to do something or run an errand that no one else had time for. I didn’t mind that at all, partly because it was useful and partly because I never knew what was going to happen. For instance, and as I think I mentioned in a recent column, I picked up a hitch-hiker on one of the exit roads at the Munich airport and it turned out to be Sebas-tian Coe, who at than time held all the world records in middle-distance track events.

On another errand I locked myself out of my car, which is almost always inconvenient and on a cold night in the Alps it can even be life-threatening. I was not happy about this, partly because the team was counting on what I’d gone to get, and partly because I might not survive.

Fortunately, I was in Switzerland, and there’s no such thing as a last chance in that country, something or someone will always turn up to fi x whatever is wrong. In fact, that’s practically the national industry in Switzerland, whatever the problem might be, they can fi x it.

Even more fortunately, I was about a block

cert with Aaron Larget- Caplan and Orlando Cela on Friday, April 1. The concert is at 7 p.m. in the town hall auditorium.

Friday night’s concert features Larget- Caplan, an American guitarist, and Cela, a Venezuelan fl utist and cuatro player, according to a release from the arts alliance. The duo will place Latin dances, lullabies and other works.

Vallee said this event is just the beginning of the events being hosted in the town auditorium.

“We hope that a whole bunch of people take advantage of the renovation,” said Vallee.

So far, the town has started booking events through the end of the year.

Some of the events already scheduled include a fundraiser for the Family Resource Center; the Gorham High School prom; the Miss N.H. Scholar-ship Program benefi t concert; a Theatre North pro-duction of “Little Shop of Horrors”; the Big Moose Bach Festival; the Miss Berlin Gorham program; and a number of meetings and public hearings.

As the schedule is starting to fi ll up, Vallee said there’s one thing she’s looking forward to.

“I’m looking forward to the fi rst sold-out show,” said Vallee.

Not a day goes by without wishing you were here.

Love Ken & Bonnie

away from a store that is the very essence of Swissness, whatever you need, they’ll have it. These stores are called either Jelmoli or Gran Passage, which seems to depend on whether you’re closer to Germany or France. Not only that, but the signs inside the store are in German or French, depending on which side of the store you came in on. As I’ve already warned my read-ers, the Swiss are so sensible, they’re so good at things, that it can make a normal person dizzy.

At any rate, I had no doubt that somewhere in this store there would be a way to get into your car when you’ve locked yourself out of it.

In this case, the car was my ski team Subaru, and they were not quite like the Subarus of today. For one thing, they always seemed insubstan-tial, one corollary of which was their tendency to break important parts. That year it was con-stant-velocity joints in the drive train, which are absolutely essential to driving a car unless you’re on an infi nitely long straight road. Anything less that that and you’ll go off the road. Or, in the worst-case scenario, off the edge of the world.

So there I was in Switzerland with a Jelmoli/Gran Passage store sure to be close at hand. It was and I went there and it was huge, as they must necessarily be. After all, they have to be able to solve any problem imaginable. I needed something thin but rigid and about six feet long. I wandered around for a while waiting for The Big Idea to strike, and then it did. Needless to say, it was in the gardening department, which is where must-fi nd items for car emergencies are sure to be found.

It was a greenish dried-out twig about six feet

long that was thicker than a soda straw but thinner than a yellow pencil, which is used for making trellises for climbing plants and it was rigid. And, this being Jelmoli, the rest of the solu-tion was sure to be nearby, and it was. It was a screw driver.

The reader will surely know what happened next. I slid the screw driver up under the rubber gasket at the top of a front window until I felt the top of the glass. Then I worked the tip of the screw driver over the top of the glass and pried down on it until I’d made a space just big enough for the green gardener’s twig.

Subarus of that era didn’t have the kind of door locks we’re used to, they had a plastic rocker switch just under the glass on each front door — rock one way to lock, rock the other way to unlock.

So I slid the thin green gardener’s trellis twig in over the top of the glass and reached it across the car and pushed on the rocking door lock switch and I was in.

Needless to say, just such an emergency will almost certainly strike my car before very long. It’s not a 1980s Subaru, it’s a 1990s Audi, but never mind, because I did have an emergency just a few days ago. The starter motor gave up the ghost, which meant that I’d have to leave the car running for as long as I had it. Either that, or get it down to Importech. They’re sure to know what to do, and if they don’t, I’ll be sure to bring along one or two gardener’s green trellis makers, which have already proved their value in diffi cult situations.

The program is espe-cially helpful for these people, as it gives them the skills to coordinate all the things needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.”

Leaders will work in pairs to facilitate the workshops for those age 60 and over in Littleton, Berlin, Whitefi eld, Laco-nia, Plymouth, and Mas-coma, just to name a few. Workshops are designed to give people with chronic conditions (such as, but not limited to, arthritis, heart disease, emphysema, asthma, bronchitis, osteoporosis) and/or their caregiv-ers the knowledge and skills needed to take a more active role in man-aging their health. Par-ticipants learn healthier ways to live, gain confi -dence and motivation to make healthy choices, and feel more positive about life. The six-week workshop meets once a week for two-and-a-half hours.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your leisure moments will be magical. You will get swept up into a brilliant piece of entertainment. The pettiness and wor-ries of daily life will disappear as you thoroughly enjoy yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is nothing wrong with keeping score. If you didn’t, there would be no game. However, you realize that there are times (like today) when it is better to throw out the scorecard and start fresh. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Like the god your guiding planet Mercury was named for, you will make your next moves with speedy assurance, defying laws of gravity as though there were wings on your shoes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a competition on the horizon. You will give your best and most focused atten-tion to preparing for this event. As you apply all you know, you will be a magnet for the new information you need to succeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You set the kind of goals that will challenge you but won’t be so diffi cult that you are likely to be overwhelmed by the enormity and seeming impossibility of the task. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You put people fi rst and consider the feelings of others at every turn. When it’s your turn to get in the game, though, you play to win. The thrill of victory will be one of the things you enjoy most about today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You thought you knew your own priorities, but you will be surprised by your reac-tion to the day’s events. This indicates that something or someone is more important to you than you previously thought. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

are curious about what is going on in the lives of others, but you are not nosy. You respect the boundaries of privacy. As you show interest in others with-out the crossing the line, you’ll teach through your example. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You realize that there is no way to accomplish the day’s work without a fair dose of teamwork. That’s why you will downplay the “I” and give your emphasis to the “we.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will put yourself in the other per-son’s shoes. It’s not hard to do this, but it takes a special person to make the effort -- a person who is willing to let go of his or her own egoistic needs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s something you are trying to do despite the fact that, given your current situation, it seems highly improbable that you will succeed at the task. Give everything you have, and you will turn the odds in your favor. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel like you are being picked on. Just keep in mind that sometimes the very thing you think of as rejection or bad luck is actually the luckiest thing that could happen to you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 29). Family celebrates you. New friends enter your world over the next 10 weeks and will continue to be a source of vari-ety and spice. Thrilling challenges arise in May. You will study a new culture or profession in April. June brings your favorite kind of distraction. Invest in July for a return that will come in three years. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 20, 4, 31 and 18.

DEAR ABBY: My heart ached after reading the letter from “Stumped in California” (Feb. 4), who wondered what could be done about an older co-worker, “Anita,” who she said was showing “signs of dementia.” I would caution her about making judgments based on stereotypes of older workers and their health problems. Like Anita, I am in my late 60s. I am also underwater in my mortgage, which means I have no nest egg. Because my husband is unemployed, my savings have been depleted. My short-term memory is poor, and the meds I am on to help me function do not improve my memory. Anita may not have dementia. She may be suffering from unbearable worry and stress. I suggest putting out a hand in friendship to Anita instead of trying to diagnose her. -- FEEL-ING IT TOO IN RICHMOND, VA. DEAR FEELING IT: Many of my readers felt this one, and wrote to offer compassion to Anita as well as possible expla-nations for her slip in job performance. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Anyone experiencing marked and/or pro-longed changes in mood, function and behavior should un-dergo thorough medical and/or psychological/psychiatric evaluation. Many treatable conditions can affect memory and concentration. The constant tearfulness observed by “Stumped” is a common symptom of depression. If Anita’s offi ce has an Employee Assistance Plan, a super-visor or HR will know the procedure for referring her to an EAP clinician who can evaluate her and make recommenda-tions for treatment, work-related considerations and follow-up. -- LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, UPSTATE NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: I am a state-licensed hearing instrument specialist. The commonalities between the symptoms of hear-ing loss and dementia are many. A person with hearing loss has a tendency to withdraw -- she’s more APART FROM than a PART OF. Also, if she’s having trouble remembering things

she’s done before, she may not have heard the request. (How can you remember something if you have never heard it?) I encourage “Stumped” to talk to Anita about having her hearing tested. A hearing aid may be what she needs to help her perform better on the job. -- KNOWS FROM EXPERI-ENCE DEAR ABBY: As a manager in the federal government, I had an employee who worked hard the majority of her life and did a great job. Suddenly, her performance began suffer-ing. It didn’t make sense to me how she could be so valuable at one point in her career, and then couldn’t do the simplest task without goofi ng it up. I sent her to a doctor for an examination, and we discov-ered that this “older woman” was having mini-strokes all day long! I was relieved to be able to retire her on disability, rather than destroying her life’s hard work by fi ring her. And she was able to get help for a medical condition she wasn’t aware of. -- RUTH IN FREDERICK, MD. DEAR ABBY: Anita may have a thyroid problem. I had similar symptoms in my 40s, and it took two years for the right diagnosis. A blood test is all she would need to fi nd out. -- HELPING HAND IN ORLAND HILLS, ILL. DEAR ABBY: I am 67 and work because I can’t live on So-cial Security. Perhaps Anita is facing the same problem and must work. My co-workers are supportive, and we have ac-cess to a wellness program to help us. She should check with Human Resources. Anita needs support, not criticism. Do not assume all seniors suffer from dementia. -- SEASONED WORKER IN TUCSON DEAR ABBY: Technology is moving so quickly that peo-ple of all ages need to update their skill level constantly. The economy is hitting our seniors hard. Anita may be working to pay for medications. To “Stumped” I say: Get off your high horse and stop watching Anita “deteriorate.” Help her! It might be you someday. -- P.J. IN MIAMISBURG, OHIO

the sun set, when winds were between 70 and 90 mph and visibility was near zero. Temperatures were in the single digits. The searchers were unable to fi nd her.

The next morning Mountain Rescue Service, which specializes in searches in winter alpine environments, responded, as did the New Hampshire National Guard, the Appalachian Mountain Club and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue.

The National Guard sent a Black-hawk helicopter, which spotted Horgan near treeline to the south of the summit just before 10 a.m. They directed rescuers on the ground to her location.

When they fi rst walked up, Comeau said, “she had a big smile on her face, happy to see us.”

“We all expected a much worse sce-nario than what we found,” Larson said.

Comeau, Larson and a third rescuer, Jim Surette, gave her food and hot water, and she was able to hike down on her own. She got back to Route 302 around 12:30 p.m.

But the state is still considering whether she will have to pay for the rescue, which cost thousands of dol-lars.

“Ultimately it’s the attorney gener-

al’s offi ce that decides,” said Lt. Doug Gralenski, of New Hampshire Fish and Game. Fish and Game fi lls out a report and makes a recommendation, he said, but it comes down to whether she was negligent or not. “That’s being investigated as we speak,” he said.

The answer hinges on two things, Gralenski said: her equipment choices, and her decision-making and judge-ment. She was well equipped, but she went up high during harsh weather.

“Was that a prudent decision?” he said. “That would be the area we’d be looking at.”

Fish and Game will make a report about the incident and submit it to the attorney general’s offi ce to make the decision.

The rescuers, however, called Horgan a success story.

“Experienced, knowledgeable, fi t prepared,” Larson said. “She had it all.”

Horgan told Larson she’d been hiking for 14 years.

“Everybody is guilty of getting lost,” Larson said. “All three of the people who found her had been lost in that exact same spot.”

“I don’t think it’s at all a fi ne-able incident,” Wilcox said. has dealt with lots of similar incidents that usually end far worse. “This woman was at least equipped.”

BRENTWOOD – State prosecutors have offered a plea deal to an ex-state trooper charged with taking bribes and offering inspection stickers to a Manchester man.

But so far, it appears Fred Stamata-tos, 40, of Pelham, is going to fi ght the charges at trial in Rockingham County Superior Court.

Prosecutors recently offered Sta-matatos either a six-month county jail sentence or a scenario in which they could argue for up to 12 months in jail before a judge in exchange for his guilty plea, according to court records.

Stamatatos was indicted on a felony bribery charge and nine misdemean-ors for allegedly providing inspec-tion stickers for salvaged vehicles to Aldaberto Medina, 39, of Manchester without performing state-mandated inspections.

An Aug. 1 trial date has been set for Stamatatos, and the defense may argue for some evidence to be thrown out of court before the case heads to trial, court papers say. The felony

bribery charge is punishable by up to 3 1/2 to 7 years in state prison if a jury convicts Stamatatos at trial.

Stamatatos was arrested last May as part of a widespread bribery inves-tigation that focused on a Department of Motor Vehicles clerk in Salem who issued fraudulent driver’s licenses in exchange for cash payoffs.

The ex-clerk, Donna Rockholt, of Manchester, pleaded guilty on Feb. 4 to bribery, theft and drug charges and agreed to become a state witness. She is expected to serve at least 12 years in prison for taking bribes since May 2005.

The licenses were used to give ille-gal immigrants and criminals from Massachusetts new identities, accord-ing to prosecutors. More than a dozen people were arrested as part of the scheme.

Stamatatos had no role in the license fraud operation, according to prosecutors.

State police were monitoring phone calls made by Medina when they allegedly picked up on a conversation he had with Stamatatos, leading to his arrest, according to court records and prosecutors.

UNH’s Thompson signs with NHL’s Penguins

University of New Hampshire senior forward Paul Thompson of Derry signed a professional hockey contract today to play in the Pittsburgh Penguins organi-zation. He has been assigned to Pittsburgh’s American Hockey League affi liate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, plans to join the team this week and

hopes to play in his fi rst AHL game this weekend.

Thompson, who played his high school hockey for Pinkerton Academy of Derry and skated at the junior level for the Hooksett-based New Hampshire Junior Monarchs, closed out his col-legiate career Sunday night in UNH’s 2-1 loss to Notre Dame in the Northeast Regional fi nals of the NCAA tournament at Verizon Wireless Arena.

Notre Dame advanced to the Frozen Four in St. Paul, Minn., on April 7. UNH fi nished its season with a 22-11-6 record.

Thompson scored 28 goals and had 24 assists for 52 points as a senior, and was named Player of the Year in Hockey East. He is one of 10 fi nalists for the Hobey Baker Award, which goes to the best player in Division I. Thomp-son had 57 goals and 55 assists in 140 career games at UNH.

Residents grill Guinta about Libyan air strikes, gas prices

PLAISTOW — U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta got an earful last week when nearly 150 people packed a town hall meeting to grill him about everything from unemploy-ment and skyrocketing gas prices to the nation’s new military role in Libya’s civil unrest.

At his second town hall meeting since taking offi ce in January, the former Manchester mayor was peppered with questions from the standing-room only crowd inside Plaistow Town Hall on Thursday.

Derry resident Michael Layon’s criticism of President Obama’s handling of the U.S. involvement in Libya drew the loudest applause.

Layon expressed frustration over Obama’s decision to take orders from the United Nations without consulting with Con-gress before the U.S. launched air strikes against Libyan ground

forces in a coalition effort to enforce a no-fl y zone over Libya.

“I have a great concern and a problem with the fact that he went to the U.N. and not to your repre-sentatives,” Guinta told the crowd, saying the country’s sudden mili-tary involvement in Libya will lead to some “constitutional dialogue” in Congress in the coming weeks.

Guinta, a Republican, said the U.S. spent $100 million on the fi rst day of air strikes, and “we don’t have a clear mission, and we don’t have a clear end-game.”

With U.S. forces still in Afghani-stan and Iraq, Guinta said adding a “third front without the express consent of Congress was wrong.”

Other constituents told Guinta that Congress should take steps to cut foreign aid and keep more of the money at home.

Wallace Rose of Kingston had a suggestion when it comes to troop deployment around the world.

“I think it’s about time these

countries start paying for our troops,” he said, as a woman in crowd shouted “Protect Arizona.”

Several people voiced concern about rising gas prices and the nation’s reliance on foreign oil, saying the government needs to start looking at natural resources closer to home to meet its needs.

Warning the crowd to brace for gas prices of $4 a gallon within the next two to three months, Guinta agreed that the country needs to “tap into the oil that we know is onshore and offshore” and to take advantage of its own natural gas resources and other energy opportunities. With House Republicans eyeing $100 billion in federal budget cuts, Don Seely of Hampstead told Guinta that he’s worried about more workers facing layoffs, including teachers.

“You’re starting off with cutting jobs of the people who can least afford it,” Seely said. “These are cuts that affect ordinary people with ordinary jobs.”
