Cain says he was falsely October snow storm blamed for at least accused of sexual 20 deaths, most from falling trees & accidents harassment 12 years ago WASHINGTON (AP) — Denying he ever sexually harassed anyone, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain declared Monday he was falsely accused in the 1990s while he was head of the National Restaurant Association and the allegations are surfacing now as part of a “witch hunt.”

The former pizza company executive was responding to a Politico report that said the trade group gave financial settlements to at least two female employees who had accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior.

But throughout the day, Cain offered conflicting responses as to whether he remembered the specifics of the allegations or the existence of settlements with the women. That raised new questions about the candidate who now is at or near the top in many polls on the GOP race.

At an appearance at the National Press Club Monday afternoon, Cain said he did not know if the trade association provided any settlements, and he declined to address specifics of the accusations or any resolution.

“I am unaware of any sort of settlement. I hope it wasn’t for much, because I didn’t do anything,” he said.

But in an interview later with Fox News, Cain said he did know about it. “Yes, there was some sort of settlement or termination,” he said.

During his appearance at the press club, he declared: “There’s nothing else there to dig up. ... We have no idea the source of this witch hunt, which is really what it is.”

In an interview with The Associated Press immediately afterward, Cain first said he had some memory of specific allegations — and then said he was not aware of any.

“Some of them,” he responded initially.

When pressed, he said: “That was 12 years ago. So no, I don’t remember.”

Still later, in an interview with PBS NewsHour, he said he remembered that “once I referenced this lady’s height and I was standing near her” and that the woman “thought that that was too close for comfort.”

Cain defended himself. “It was in my office, the door was wide open, and my secretary was sitting right there, and we were standing there and I made see CAIN page 13 Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com

WAYLAND, Mass. (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people across the Northeast shivered at the prospect of days without heat or lights after a freak October snowstorm over the weekend, and many towns postponed trick-or-treating Monday in what seemed like a mean Halloween prank to some children.

Families huddled under blankets and winter coats at home or waited out the crisis in shelters as utility crews struggled to fix power lines brought down by the storm. Hundreds of schools closed, giving youngsters one of the earliest snow days on record.

“Such a small storm but such a big disaster,” said Marina Shen, who spent Sunday night with her husband and dog at a middle school in Wayland, a Boston suburb of 13,000 where half the homes lost power. Just a few inches fell in Wayland, and most of it had melted by Monday, but overnight temperatures fell below freezing.

“The house is really, really cold. You cannot do anything. It’s so dark, cold,” Shen said. “Here they give us a hot shower.”

From Maryland to Maine, high winds and wet, heavy snow brought down trees, branches and wires Saturday and Sunday. Snowfall amounts ranged from less than inch in some places to 32 inches in the small town of Peru, Mass., in the Berkshire Mountains.

The storm was blamed for at least 20 deaths, including one in Canada. Most were caused by falling trees, traffic accidents or electrocutions from downed wires. Eight people died in Pennsylvania alone.

More than 3 million homes and businesses in the Northeast lost power at the height of the storm. By early Monday night, that number was nearly 1.8 million.

Some of the same areas were hit hard by the rainy remnants of Hurricane Irene just two months ago, but in many places the utility damage was worse this time. The trees had yet to lose their leaves and captured all too much of the snow.

“The leaves on the trees have made whole trees and huge branches come down and taken down more wires,” said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

“It’s a huge challenge for everybody.”

With the temperature rising again, the storm’s effects will probably outlast the snow itself.

Christie said he expected 95 percent of the 375,000 customers in New Jersey without power to have it back by Thursday, though he knew that would be little comfort to people shivering in the dark.

“I know if you are without power today, Thursday see STORM page 14

Number of open shelters in N.H. could still rise CONCORD (AP) — The drip of melting snow gave thousands of New Hampshire residents hope that their electricity soon would be restored, but Gov. John Lynch, who sought an emergency disaster declaration for the state on Monday, advised them not to wait it out in the cold in the meantime.

Lynch and state emergency officials are expecting more people to go to shelters before power can be restored to homes thrust into the dark by a historic October snowstorm that dumped more than 30 inches of snow on parts of the state. With nearly 200 schools closed Monday and several communities postponing trick-or-treating, it was more like Christmas vacation than Halloween.

Lynch said 315,000 homes and businesses were without power at the storm’s peak, making it the third worst in the state’s history. The highest recorded power outage was in December 2008 when

an ice storm knocked out electricity to about 430,000 customers — more than half the state. Some had no power for two weeks.

A wind storm in February 2010 affected 360,000 customers.

About 189,000 customers still were without power Monday evening and it could take up to a week for the lights to be back on in some areas.

Public Utilities Commission Chairman Tom Getz said the damage from the snowstorm is labor intensive because most of the downed lines were caused by broken branches. He predicted power would be restored more quickly than was the case with the ice storm, which took down poles.

Temperatures are expected to rise into the 50s during the day by week’s end, but nighttime temperatures are forecast to be below freezing. see SHELTERS page 14

Palestine becomes member of UNESCO, U.S. reacts by cutting funding to agency PARIS (AP) — Palestine won its greatest international endorsement yet on Monday, full membership in UNESCO, but the move will cost the agency onefifth of its funding and some fear will send Mideast peace efforts off a cliff.

In an unusually dramatic session at the Parisbased United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, there were cheers for “yes” votes and grumbles for the “no’s” and abstentions.

When the results were in, many delegates jumped to their feet and applauded and someone let out a cry of “Long live Palestine!” in French.

“Joy fills my heart. This is really a historic moment,” said Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki. “It’s the return of he who was banished.”

But the jubilation was quickly pierced by reality: The United States said it wouldn’t make a $60 million payment to fill out its contributions for this year and would suspend all future funding.

UNESCO depends heavily on that money — Washington provides 22 percent of its budget — but has survived without it in the past: The United States pulled out of UNESCO under President Ronald Reagan, rejoining two decades later under President George W. Bush.

Monday’s vote was a grand symbolic victory for the Palestinians, but it alone won’t make Palestine a state.

The issues of borders for an eventual Palestinian state, security, a solution for Palestinian refugees, the fate of Jerusalem and other disputes that have thwarted Middle East peace for decades remain unresolved.

Some argued it would even make it harder for the Palestinians to reach their goal.

White House spokesman Jay Carney called UNESCO’s decision “premature” and said it undermines the international community’s efforts toward a comprehensive Middle East peace plan. He called it a distraction from the goal of restarting direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

Israeli Ambassador Nimrod Barkan said the decision did “a great disservice to international law and to chances for peace.”

“UNESCO deals in science, not science fiction,” he said in a speech to delegates after the vote. “However, a large number of member states, though most emphatically less than two-thirds of the member states of this organization, have adopted a science fiction version of reality.”

His government said it was reconsidering its cooperation with UNESCO.

72 days of marriage was enough for Kim Kardashian

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just 10 weeks after their lavish, made-for-TV wedding and less than a month after the wedding special aired, reality starlet Kim Kardashian is canceling her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences.

“I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision,” she said in a statement. “I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don’t work out as planned.”

Humphries told TMZ he was “devastated” to learn his bride had filed for divorce and is “willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”

The filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court provided few details, other than to state the couple have a prenuptial agreement that will dictate how they divide up their assets. Kardashian is asking that both sides pay their own attorneys’ costs and that a judge terminate Humphries’ rights to spousal support.

Kardashian, 31, and Humphries, 26, were wed Aug. 20 in a star-studded, black-tie ceremony at an exclusive canyon estate in the seaside enclave of Montecito, Calif., near Santa Barbara. The couple’s see KIM page 8

Ugly end to historic month on Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) — October is somewhat cursed for the stock market — the Crash of 1929, Black Monday in 1987, a slow-motion meltdown in 2008.

This time, the demons made a last gasp, but Wall Street still managed to break the jinx.

Stocks had their best month in almost a decade, rising from their low point of the year in an almost uninterrupted four-week rally. The juice mostly came from Europe, which appeared to finally find a strategy for taming its debt crisis.

But the finish sure was ugly. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 276 points and finished below 12,000 on the final day of the month. It was as rough an end as it was a beginning: On the first trading day of the month, Oct. 3, the Dow lost 258.

Bank stocks were hit hard Monday. MF Global, a securities firm headed by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, filed for bankruptcy protection. Rating

agencies downgraded the company last week, worried that it holds too much European debt.

Still, even counting the Halloween scare, October 2011 will be remembered on Wall Street for a comeback that only the St. Louis Cardinals, baseball’s nearly eliminated, newly crowned champions, could match.

For the month, the Dow rose more than 1,000 points. It gained 9.5 percent, its best showing since October 2002. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index, the broadest major market average, rose 10.8 percent for the month, the best since December 1991.

On Oct. 3, both the Dow and the S&P closed at their lows of the year. The market had been through a brutal summer and was one bad day away from falling into bear market territory, down 20 percent from its most recent peak. see WALL STREET page 10

Casinos in Southern N.H. seen as threat to viability of The Lodge at Belmont

BY MATTHEW SPOLAR CONCORD MONITOR

BELMONT – Rick Newman is normally gung-ho about state lawmakers taking a positive look at expanded gambling. But the general manager of The Lodge at Belmont had a different take on news out of a House committee meeting Thursday.

“If a casino is built 45 minutes from our door, that could be the end of charitable gaming in New Hampshire,” Newman said of an “incredibly discouraging” recommendation from House Republicans to pass legislation next year allowing two casinos with video lottery machines and table games.

Newman has long lobbied for expanding gaming opportunities at the Lodge. Now the possibility of two casinos, with lobbyists pushing hard for one in Salem, could threaten the Lodge’s ability to stay afloat.

Craig Potts, an investor in the Lodge from Minnesota, filed this month to foreclose on the Laconia Road property with an auction slated for Nov. 17. The threat is the second this year, after Tony Tarbell of Keystone Management Co. in Concord, whose stake was subsequently bought out, also sought foreclosure.

Newman described Potts’s foreclosure move as merely an attempt to renegotiate his stake in the Lodge.

Unfortunately, the disagreement is being played out in public, he said.

“It’s like a big Irish family having a conversation on the porch in a crowded neighborhood,” Newman said. “After a while the issue gets resolved and everybody wishes they hadn’t aired their dirty laundry.”

Potts’s local attorney, Dan Luker, said as far as he knows it is a legitimate auction.

“I don’t know where Rick got that,” Luker said. “I think it’s going to go forward.”

Formerly a dog track, The Lodge at Belmont has fought to survive with the decline in popularity of greyhound racing - now banned in New Hampshire - and a 10 percent gambling winnings tax passed by the Legislature in 2009. It has attempted to make the most of the gambling options available - table games are limited to a max wager of $4 - while hosting live music and entertainment. Newman said he has yet to cut a check to any of the investors since they bought the

Lodge from the Hart family in 2005, with all revenue going back into operating expenses.

Newman said lawmakers have “put roadblocks in the way of anything that’s not that golden shining casino.”

The investors bought the Lodge thinking that the Legislature would seek to allow more gaming options there, such as slot machines, Newman said.

“That hasn’t happened and I think people are getting a little restless,” he said.

At the bar on Friday, Caleb Lockwood, a 50-year-old construction worker from Belmont, said the Lodge’s struggles have been evident over the past decade. A casino nearby would just add to the problems, he said.

“I think this needs a defibrillator to bring it back because it’s nearly dead already,” he said.

Lockwood said he would continue to support the Lodge if there were a casino or two in the state. He said he would prefer to see the Legislature expand gambling at sites that already exist.

“It’s a good group of people and there’s a lot of jobs here,” he said.

Newman said the Lodge has 45 employees. In November 2010, 22 employees were laid off due to declining revenue.

Allan Gilbert, who owns a homebuilding company in town, said he thinks if Newman loses hope of eventually getting more gaming options, he will probably close the Lodge. He doesn’t think the casino would draw away too many customers, but he wondered how much longer the Lodge could keep going with the status quo.

“Everybody who’s coming here will keep coming to do what they do, but I don’t think it’s enough to keep it going,” he said.

Gilbert said he hopes the number of casinos in the state is limited to one or two. As a gambler, Gilbert said a casino “in his backyard” could keep him coming back day and night.

“I probably wouldn’t because I know better, but I know a lot of people who would,” he said.

John Beaton, a 39-year-old poker player from Tuftonboro, said “if there was a casino close enough we’d all probably go.” Beaton said it’s been a year since he visited a casino in Connecticut.

“Proximity is a big concern,” he said.

Leo R. Sandy

Pessimists, realists and optimists To say that there were three kinds of people in the world – pessimists, realists and optimists – would be a simplified and over-generalized statement. What is more likely are combinations of them. For example, one could be 30-percent pessimist and 70-percent realist or 60-percent realist and 40-percent optimist. The ideal combination may be 50-percent realist and 50-percent optimist because this person has a vision and is able to take very specific steps to attain that vision. This person may have his head in the clouds but his feet are also planted on the ground so that she can bring her ideals to fruition. People are much more complex that the theories that exist about them. However, it is sometimes necessary to simplify things to make points clearer. Thus, purists, if there are any, would probably have certain traits.

Pessimism is defined as “A tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen; a lack of hope or confidence in the future (and) a belief that this world is as bad as it could be or that evil will ultimately prevail over good.” The synonyms of pessimism include holding a dim view, cynicism, expectation of the worst, hopelessness and low spirits. Its antonyms include confidence, optimism and trust.

According to Helen Keller, “No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.”

Pessimists tend to see the cup as half empty and prefer the past to the present or future. This person would talk about the “good old days” when women and children knew their place, when prayer was said in schools, when kids were paddled regularly and when there was no acknowledgement of diversity. This person, if a Christian, would interpret the Bible literally and prefer the old testament. This person’s morality would be absolute in all areas as if people or groups were either good or bad. This person would generally view human nature as bad, believe that war is inevitable and perpetual, and that his side is always right. S/he may use quotes like “As the twig is bent so shall it grow”. This would justify corporal punishment. This person feels a strong sense of despair and has no hope for the future except for a possible rapture that will take her and her like-minded associates off to heaven. Life on earth for this person is not something that can be improved so this person would not try to create change. This person tends to be gloomy, depressed and angry with no sense of humor. This person avoids good news and is averse to hearing it. Such people

focus on the bad news and are always vigilant about their personal safety. Fear rules their lives.

Realism is defined as “interest in or concern for the actual or real, as distinguished from the abstract, speculative, etc.” Synonyms include bottom line, certainty, how things are, solidity, substance and tangibility. Imagination is one of its antonyms. For Mary McCarthy, “If someone tells you he is going to make a “realistic decision,” you immediately understand that he has resolved to do something bad.”

The realist either does not follow a religion or does so to make points in the community so he can project the image of upstanding citizen to get customers for his business or votes if running for office. This is because practicality rules this person’s life.

The realist tends to be amoral or Machiavellian. Winning is much more important than the rightness or wrongness of a cause. This person is less concerned about why questions and more concerned with how questions. This person is a believer in science but has no consideration for spirituality. This person sees the cup as needing a better design rather than half empty or half full.

This person views human nature as wired for competition and getting things done rather than being good or bad. This person’s time frame is the present and her solutions to problems do not take the big picture into account because she is so concerned about solving a particular problem immediately without reference to the past or for consideration of the future. For this person, things need fixing and it’s his way or the highway.

This person also thinks in absolute terms because other factors, like ethics, just get in the way of solving problems. For example, Free Trade realists don’t really care that local businesses in third world countries will suffer greatly having to compete with lower priced imports or that human rights will be compromised or that air and water pollution standards will be lowered when foreign companies come in and hire local workers for slave wages. Making money is the sole consideration.

Optimism is defined as “the tendency to expect the best and see the best in all things and includes hopefulness and confidence.” Synonyms associated with optimism include cheerfulness, encouragement, enthusiasm, idealism, and positivism. Norman Cousins once said that “Optimism doesn’t wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.”

The optimist, if religious and a Christian, likes the new testament and focuses more on spirituality than religion per se. This person see next page

LETTERS More & more Americans have caught on to the ‘Audacity of Despair’ To the editor, Kate Miller of Meredith missed some items on her Obama check list.

I hope she doesn’t mind me finishing it for her.

1. Unemployment, still a depressing 9.1-percent more than a year after the recession was declared over and little expectation by experts that it will be any lower a year from now. And not back to normal for another five years.

2. Economic growth, less than 2-pecent. Growth is so weak and timid we risk slipping back into another recession.

3. The real number of unemployed and under employed is over 20-million with the actual total rate of unemployment closer to 17-percent.

4. Obama’s spending frenzy was the incorrect medicine. Two million more people were unemployed after his near trillion dollar bungled, stimulus than before. All the stimulus did was put more debt burden on to the shoulders of our grandkids. Kate doesn’t seem to mind at all. More kudos for Obama.

5. Eighty one percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. Kate is in the 19-percent who love Barack.

6. Bankruptcies are rising dramatically.

7. Home foreclosures are also rising dramatically with people being tossed into the streets at record levels and the number is going higher.

8. Millions of people owe more money on their homes than there worth.

9. The value of homes keep falling across the country down another 4-percelnt in the last 12 months.

10. Obama has produced record deficits and going higher. More debt for the grandkids to pay off. We now spend $1.40 for ever buck that comes in and he wants to make it $1.60 We are on the European economic glide path to insolvency or total financial chaos like they now endure.

11. Obama’s only hope for re election is to “buy off” minority voters and union voters, especially teachers, firemen and police who keep draining tax payers bank accounts with non stop wage and benefit demands for the same work output. I know 50 business people (the job producers of the world) and not a single one plans on voting for Obama. Some are not

voting Republican they are just voting against Obama under the belief he has to go at all costs. That is the business back lash he has unleashed and it is killing America.

12. American debt was recently down graded to less than AAA for the first time in history. Now there is a real super special Obama accomplishment. Two cheers from Kate.

13. The American dollar is worth toilet paper because Obama has tried to “print” us all into prosperity.

This has been tried a dozen times in a dozen countries all ending in economic blight.

14. Inflation is rising as noted by the need to raise Social Security payments for 2012.

15. The planned increase in costs for government provided Medicare insurance will eat up almost all if not all of most peoples Social Security increases.

16. Most large American corporations are expanding overseas, not here.

Better opportunities abroad and businesses are sick of being demonized for trying to make profits. They can also avoid high corporate tax rates here as well. I am sure Kate loves those high taxes because Democrats think someone other than them is paying them.

Lastly, Obama has unleashed some of the most aggressive over regulation of businesses in history so businesses are accelerating their exodus to all parts of the globe taking America’s jobs with them. Great job Barack.

Kate Miller gives you two “attaboys”.

17. Obama is now getting the lowest job approval ratings of his term, between 40 and 45-percent. The longer he stays the lower his polls go.

Democrats like Kate Miller are not going to be discussing the economic record of Barack Obama and the even deeper ditch his policies have driven us all into. Republican’s are going to force feed, with spotlights on the most failed economic record in history to the voters non stop between now and voting day 2012. Obama’s class war fare rhetoric is as a red herring he hopes will keep the focus of the spectacularness of his failure out of the headlines. IT WON’T. Obama missed the correct title for his book. It should have titled the “Audacity of despair”.

LETTERS Public invited to programs on genocide in Rwanda on Thursday

President Obama is demonizing the lifeblood of our country

To the editor, On behalf of Lakes Region Community College, I would like to invite the public to attend two presentations

by Dr. Mishy Lesser in which she will talk about the genocide in Rwanda during the 1990s She will also screen a new documentary, “Coexist”, about the aftermath of the Rwandan tragedy in which she served as film Learning Director.

The first presentation will be at noon, Thursday, November 3 in LRCC’s Bennett Library when she will deliver a short presentation and introduction to the Rwandan Genocide. At 1 p. m. she will join a college class and other members of the LRCC community (the general public is also invited) to view and discuss the film “Coexist”.

Dr. Lesser currently runs Mishy Lesser Consulting Services that promotes peacemaking and building youth leadership in the Boston area.

Long concerned with human rights issues, she promotes human rights

To the editor, Are you concerned yet?

Does it concern you that an elected leader is unwilling to defend this country’s sovereignty as illegal immigrants are looked at as a potential voting bloc to be won over and not as intruders who place demands on our nation’s resources and, in some cases, threaten our citizens?

Does it concern you that an elected leader who has sworn to preserve, protect, and defend our constitution has routinely violated that oath by refusing to enforce legislation which was passed and signed into law, because the current leader doesn’t agree with it?

Does it concern you that the constitutional balance of powers (between the legislative, judicial, and executive branches) are being ignored as the executive branch issues dictatorial “executive orders” to impose its will on the citizenry?

Does it concern you that the executive branch is bypassing the congressional “advise and consent” rules on executive branch appointees?

Does it concern you that the executive branch has ignored federal court rulings concerning the legitimacy of its healthcare bill, and continues its implementation?

Does it concern you that cabinet level appointees ignore or stonewall congressional oversight demands on issues of providing guns to drug cartels in another country?

and tolerance in her community, especially among youth and youth leaders.

She seeks to teach educators ways to inculcate such values in young people.

In addition, she has been involved with building community organizations in countries like Chile and El Salvador.

Her work experience includes workforce development, with a focus on public policy research and reform, as well as the design, delivery, and evaluation of job training and career ladder programs. She holds a doctorate in education from University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

This event is sponsored by the LRCC Student Senate, College Equity Committee, and the Department of Arts and Sciences. Again, the event is open to the general public and the Lakes Region community is invited to attend.

Time for change in Ward 6, Mr. Bolduc has become complacent To the editor, I am running for Ward 6 City Council.

I was born and raised in Laconia and have lived here most of my life. I have a 13-year-old daughter, Alexis, who goes to Laconia Middle School. I have been the manager at Mountain View Apartments for over 20 years and in retail management for many years before that. I am the president of LRGA Boosters Club and a member of Leavitt Park Association, as well as being involved with many charity events.

It is time for a change! After 28 years, I feel Mr. Bolduc has become complacent.

If elected, I will be very active, listen to

and represent the people of Ward 6. I would like to hear what you have to say.

Come join me for a coffee and tell me your thoughts on Wednesday between 8 and 9 a.m. at Our Place Family Restaurant or 5 and 6 p.m. at T-Bones; on Thursday between 8 and 9 a.m. at Donna Jean’s Dinner; or on Friday between 7 and 8 p.m. at Fratello’s.

Please feel free to call me at home 528-7632, work 524-7185 or e-mail me at tonyforcouncil@peopelpc.com . I look forward to seeing you at the polls on November 8th.

We shouldn’t be giving our country to the lesser of two evils To the editor, It’s that time again! Every four years. The fanfare. The media coverage. The red-white-and blue everything. Could be the Olympics, but no.

It’s that other spectator sport known as election season. Every four years these faces in suits come handshaking their way through our states, promising us this and that. Telling us what they will do for us if they are elected

president. The strange part is that four years ago, a different set of suits and ties promised us the same things.

And four years before that, like some bad late night rerun. Why do we believe what they say each time? Why do we think that “this time they must be telling the truth”? Or do we?

I can’t count the number of times I have heard people say “I guess I’ll just see next page

from preceding page sees wisdom across the world’s great religions. Thus, this person follows an ecumenical bent and is likely to belong to a progressive church or religious chapter. This person sees morality as complex – being both absolute and relative – depending on the circumstances. For example, for this person it would be immoral to steal a car for a joyride but moral (albeit illegal) to do it to take a seriously injured person to the hospital. This person sees the cup as half full. This person believes that people are wired for empathy, and if empathy were more nurtured, it would be reflected in more kindness, peace and social justice. This person has hope for a better future and believes that war can be abolished.

This person is a romantic with great dreams of what can be. This person is

into more positive ones, and laugh at herself and the absurdity in the world.

This person focuses on good news as examples of good things that happen and can happen more in the world. S/ he views bad news as problems that need addressing. This person also sees the forest through the trees and is able to put things in context to more deeply understand them.

What the world needs is more realists with a healthy dose of optimism and more optimists with a healthy dose of realism. Then we would be able to have large numbers of people with vision who can act decisively, confidently and competently to advance human development to the highest levels of its potential.

Does it concern you that the executive branch is developing health care regulations that are estimated to take 10 years to write and implement, leaving businesses unsure of the impact that bill and those regulations will have on them?

Does it concern you that the executive branch ignored previous court rulings and essentially shut down offshore drilling?

Does it concern you that while the executive branch shut down our offshore drilling it provided billions of dollars in loans for companies to engage in drilling off the coast of Brazil?

Does it concern you that the executive branch has ignored critical advice and failed to do “due diligence” in making loans to companies? Does it also matter that those companies were political backers of the executive branch? Or does it matter that the taxpayers get charged for the failure and not the companies?

This list could go on and on, but the questions are all about the same. Are we watching the beginnings of a dictatorship? Pitting one group of citizens against another? Ignoring established practices in favor of Chicago style politics? Demonizing people and businesses that are the lifeblood of our country?

If you’re not concerned, you’re not paying attention.

from preceding page have to choose the lesser of two evils”. Why do we believe there are only two options? Does it really have to be arsenic and hemlock?

Unfortunately, I believe we are being manipulated to believe how we should think, and in turn, how we should vote. When you want to control or direct a mass of humanity, certain structures have to be in place. This can work on an individual, a group of people, or even a country. First, you have to impose the “norms”, such as right and wrong, possible or impossible, and good and bad. Most people will follow the herd mentality that the collective human mind has had for thousands of years. Second, you have to make life very unpleasant for those who challenge the imposed “norms”.

The most effective way to accomplish this and ensure compliance is to make it hard to be different. Make those who voice a different view, version of “truth” and lifestyle, stand out like black sheep in the human herd.

The herd has been conditioned to accept the norms as reality, and through arrogance and ignorance, they ridicule or condemn those with a different spin on life.

This will pressure the black sheep to conform, as well as serve as a warning to the rest of the herd who are thinking of breaking away. This fear of being different and voicing a view that challenges the “norms” is overwhelming. The fear of what other people think of us.

The fear of what those around us will say and do if we seek to leave the herd and question its conditioned assumptions. This mentality means that the masses are policing themselves and keeping each other in line.

The sheep become the sheepdog for the rest of the herd.

As far as the current election season goes, why is it that we have a candidate like Gov. Rick Perry,

who constantly falls flat in debates and who seems an apparent non-factor in polling statistics, why is he consistently pushed into the forefront of debate topics and thrown into every discussion as a viable candidate? Then we have someone like Rep. Ron Paul, who has made significant showings in both the 2008 Republican Primary season and now this one again, who has shown he can raise large sums of money, including the largest single day donations for his campaign in 2008, and who offers a radically different platform from any of his competitors. Why has he been all but pushed aside by the mainstream media? Is the status quo afraid that someone who thinks different might start attracting others to his message and become a serious contender? Hmmm...

If you do choose to vote for one of the two major parties, choose with your heart. Don’t be afraid of not being in the majority. Or, if you really can’t stand any of the candidates, I have an idea: Don’t vote.

Now, I can hear all the shock and awe of such a such a sacrilegious statement. This isn’t about apathy, this is about taking a stand. This is about fed up and trying something new. If enough people are truly disgusted with the conditions and candidates in which to choose from, why do it? Show how much dissatisfaction we have en masse. Its like going on strike. It might take sacrificing a four year term to someone unwanted or undesirable, but the message will be sent, loud and clear. Like Peter Finch’s character in the movie Network says, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it any more!” Remember, we have the power.

This is our country, and we shouldn’t just give it to the “lesser of two evils”. As the great American writer H.L. Mencken said, “The most dangerous

man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself.” Let this be true for us all this political season, and for our lives as well.

Mike Loughlin Meredith WARD 4 from page one Terrill, the president of the Lakes Region United Way, said that “generations look at things differently.” The writer noted that at 85, Baer is the oldest member of council and suggested that Terrill, who is 52, considered age the most significant difference between the two.

That same evening, at the candidates forum at The Weirs, Baer, read from a letter that appeared in The Daily Sun the next day. “I was wondering what my theme was going to be this year,” she began. “Now, thanks to my opponent, I think I have found it. My opponent . . . makes my age an issue,” she charged.

Recalling that Terrill noted that she no longer works, Baer said that “being a city councilor is my work” and went on to list her participation in efforts to address water quality, Wyatt Park, health care and city budgets, repeatedly asking “where were you Jack?” She said that two years after Terrill first challenged her he was once again calling for “forward thinking, new ideas” then chided him for not offering “those great ideas” in the meantime.

“Age is not a problem,” Baer said.

“I never once mentioned age,” Terrill declared yesterday during an interview at The Daily Sun. “Never.” He insisted that he simply stated the obvious that “we’re from different generations and that differentiates us,” explaining that “our perspectives, how we approach problems, come from different generations.”

Terrill added that “we’re at different places in our lives.” Baer, he said, was enjoying a well-earned retirement while he is working to put a second child through college.

“Retirement is not on my horizon,” he remarked, questioning “if it ever will be.” He acknowledged “I have a real vested interest is seeing our property values increase,” which he said was a different perspective from that of a retiree living in an “isolated community”, a reference to Briarcrest Estates where Baer resides.

Baer described her decision to put the wood to Terrill as “a reflex action,” observing that sometimes she feels she would command more respect but for her age and gender. “It took it that way,” she said, “and I found something I could make short and quick. I need all the help I can get.”

“I was taken aback when she chose the tactics she chose,” Terrill said. “It was damaging to me personally and professionally and it was untrue.” He said that while for Baer the charge was “good politics,” he found it “reprehensible.”

“It made me not want to participate,” he continued, suggesting such political ploys “is not how we encourage participation.”

Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Ward 4 votes at Memorial Park.

KIM from page 3 wedding registry at a Beverly Hills jeweler totaled $172,000 and included such items as a $1,650 coffee pot and two $1,250 sterling silver vegetable spoons.

It was the first marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBA’s New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, who was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

Kardashian’s sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.

Kim Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out “Will you marry me?” in rose petals.

The couple’s marriage was the subject of a twopart special on E! Entertainment Television, which televises Kardashian’s show that follows the model and her family.

The special aired Oct. 9 and 10, two months after the ceremony, prompting online card company someecards.com to offer a greeting last summer that read: “Here’s hoping Kim Kardashian’s marriage

LETTERS I want my Ward 1 councilor to actually be a resident of the ward To the editor, In reference to Laconia City Council election, Ward 1, I’ll be voting for my Ward 1 Councilor Ava Doyle.

My reasons are clear: Ava has a solid background as a local Ward 1 business owner/operator for almost 20 years with her husband Dave. Over this time she and Dave have been tireless supporters and promoters of the City of Laconia and of the tourism industry of Weirs Beach and the Lakes Region.

Not content with business success but seeking a successful community as well, Ava has volunteered her time and talents to many community groups and causes. I got to know Ava as a founding member and frequent officer of the Weirs Action Committee. Through that organization she and many others continue to recognize the needs of our city and community. Ava has also served on the board of the Chamber of Commerce and is an experienced member of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) committee.

In her years of service on Laconia’s CIP committee Ava studied aspects of growth, development and priority in our city greatly expanding and developing her understanding of the needs of all communities together known as Laconia. This in turn has lead to an understanding of the city’s budgetary process and the impact of that process on the city’s government and taxpayers alike.

This next City Council will be

responsible for negotiating contracts with our city employees. A major issue nationwide is that of public employee compensation and unsustainable pension and benefit packages pushing municipalities toward bankruptcy.

These will be long hard negotiations and I know that Mrs. Doyle will be sincerely engaged in striking the appropriate balance between taxpayer and employee interests. She seeks no endorsements from employee unions as they confuse one’s loyalties, yet, for those who don’t know, she turns her councilor’s stipend back into the general fund to help in a time of hardship.

I must say that I am also voting for Ava Doyle because I want my Ward 1 Councilor to be a resident of Ward 1.

Through no fault of his own, in a few short weeks Ava’s opponent will find himself a resident of Ward 3. Try as I might I just can’t conclude that a resident of Ward 3 will represent the interests of Ward 1 better than a resident of Ward 1 will.

Should Ava’s opponent wish to continue on the City Council beyond this term it will be in service to Ward 3. This would effectively eliminate Ward 1 resident’s representation on our City Council and give Ward 3 two sitting councilors. It makes me a bit uneasy knowing that her opponent is willing to do this. Let’s keep the Ward 1 seat in Ward 1.

Tax credits an incredible opportunity to keep tax dollars local To the editor, On behalf of Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS), I would like to thank Linda Knott and Kendra Deal of LPL Financial, Jeff Graham of Graham and Graham, P.C., and Chris McCarthy of the Insurance Outlet for hosting a reception this past Tuesday to assist LRCS with the sale of tax credits.

Tax credits are an incredible opportunity for local businesses to leverage tax dollars that they would otherwise pay to the state and federal government, to remain in their community.

I appreciate that the businesses last night wanted to assist others in the community to learn how to support

LRCS with our fundraising efforts through the use of tax credits.

I am also very appreciative and grateful to those businesses who have expressed an interest in helping us to reach our goal and Franklin Savings Bank, Laconia Savings Bank, E and S Insurance, Joyce Janitorial and Leone McDonnell and Roberts who have made commitments thus far. It is an aggressive, but realistic goal.

I am looking forward to relocating LRCS back to downtown Laconia and becoming an essential force in downtown revitalization.

Christine L. Santaniello Executive Director Lakes Region Community Services

Why not accept the Medicaid reimbursement? Better than nothing To the editor, I must be missing something in the rationale of LRGHealthcare closing off Medicaid patients. If the hospital is already suffering from the economy, which I am sure it is, why not accept the reimbursement of something as compared to nothing? What this is going to mean is that more people will lose employment, more people will have no healthcare options and more medical professionals will go else-

where to practice.

This is a very, very bad economy.

Medicaid covers only the most economically challenged people who have no recourse! These are people with no transportation to go to other medical facilities in other cities or towns. What a sad, sad day. Bitter “pill” to swallow.

By the way, I am not a Medicaid recipient, but I am horrified by this action.

Frances Piche Laconia

Ava Doyle will continue to look out for best interests of Ward 1 To whom it may concern, We need stability in Ward 1. I am confident Mrs. Doyle will continue to fairly represent Ward 1 and comfortable knowing she is looking after our

interests in Ward 1 and through out the city of Laconia.

tinued aid of Israel, to which he said he would be “willing to review our aid policy around the world.”

He also told another woman, whose husband is a West Point graduate scheduled for deployment with the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan, what would he do to support returning veterans and their families.

With two sons in the military, Huntsman’s said the best thing we can do for our veterans is to expand our economic opportunities at home.

On health care, he said the country needs to repeal ObamaCare and then the 50 governors should get together and find a solution that works for their individual states, including access to larger insurance pools and cost containment.

He also supports energy independence and supports the Canadian pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico, saying he thinks it can be done responsibly as to the environment and we can support our friendly neighbors to the north rather than sending $300 billion annually to the not-so-friendly ones.

He also supports campaign reform and term limits, saying he thinks the political system is broken. He said he wants some kind of flat tax with all of the red tape and loopholes removed.

Robert Grey of Franklin told Huntsman he should get his picture taken with Flat Stanley to raise his profile.

Flat Stanley is a fictional character created in 1964 but has been used by teachers as a tool to promote reading and literacy. Pictures of people from all over the world with Flat Stanley can be can be found on the Internet.

WALL STREET from page 3 Investors were worried that the United States, with an economy growing at the slowest pace since the end of the Great Recession, was on the brink of falling back into recession.

And if the U.S. didn’t tip into a new recession by itself, the market was worried that Europe would give it a push. Greece and other European nations face crushing debt, and European banks that loaned them money face big losses.

A recession in Europe would be bad news for the United States because Europe buys about 20 percent of American exports.

Someone opening a quarterly account statement at about that time might have tossed it in the garbage and been afraid to look again. But that day was to be the turning point.

Reports that European leaders were working on a debt plan began trickling out. Investors gained confidence after the leaders of France and Germany pledged to come up with a far-reaching resolution by the end of the month.

Added to the encouraging news out of Europe: stronger corporate earnings from the likes of Google and McDonald’s and signs that the U.S. economy was not as bad as feared. Retail sales rose 1.1 percent in September, the biggest gain in seven months.

When European leaders finally unveiled the deal Thursday, stocks roared higher. The S&P 500 jumped 3.7 percent and was up for the year

for the first time since Aug. 3, just before the U.S. government’s debt lost its AAA credit rating.

“It’s a rally off what was a very pessimistic view of the global economy,” says Todd Henry, an emerging-market equity specialist at T. Rowe Price. “Does it have legs? I think that’s yet to be seen.”

Under the debt agreement, banks will take a 50 percent loss on their Greek government bonds. Europe will also add money to a financial rescue fund to protect other countries.

And banks will increase their capital reserves to protect themselves.

With the October books closed, the Dow was at 11,955.01, up about 83 percent from March 2009, its lowest point after the financial meltdown. It would have to rise more than 2,200 points from here to set an all-time high.

The S&P 500 finished the month at 1,253.50, down 32 points on Monday, or 2.5 percent. The Nasdaq composite index fell 53 points for the day, or 1.9 percent, and ended October at 2,684.

Besides the Depression-heralding collapse in 1929, the crash in 1987 and the meltdown 2008, the stock market suffered through a mini-crash on Friday the 13th in October 1989 and a 554point drop in the Dow on Oct. 27, 1997.

But the month “turned the tide” in 11 bear markets after World War II, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. And it turned out to be the best single month for the market from 1993 to 2007, according to the almanac.

LACONIA — Former Utah governor and current candidate for the GOP nod to run for president braved the aftermath of the weekend snowfall and met voters in a town hall-style forum at the Belknap Mill on Sunday.

Huntsman, who was also President Barack Obama’s ambassador to China, told the crowd that he thinks it’s totally unacceptable that the United States is not leading the world in productiveness and competitiveness.

“It’s nonsense,” he said blaming most of the perceived lack of America’s leading edge on a lack of leadership from Obama.

He said the country was in a “Cold War hangover” with 50,000 troops in Germany and 100,000 in Afghanistan fighting an asymmetrical war against some “really bad guys,” and that, aside from tactical forces and some trainers in Afghanistan, the United States shouldn’t be in either place.

“The Russians aren’t coming any more,” he said.

“We have little value if we can’t get our own act together,” he said.

He said the United States needs to lead with a foreign policy based on trade and incentives.

Reflecting on his time in other countries he reminded the audience that from 10,000 miles away, America still stands for rule of law, private property rights, stability and great colleges and universities. All America needs, according Huntsman, is some strong leadership.

He fielded one question about con-

New owner believes Labelle’s Shoe Repair just the kind of business downtown needs to thrive

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — LaBelle’s Shoe Repair, on Main Street, is one of downtown’s oldest businesses, practicing an even older trade. Last month, a new owner took over the business and he thinks that a cobbler shop is just the kind of thing to ensure the future of the city’s downtown.

Jim Daubenspeck is the business’s new owner, having signed papers on September 10.

The shoe repair shop was started by Bob LaBelle in 1980. LaBelle sold the business eight years ago to Jan Boudreau, who ran the business until selling to Dabuenspeck.

Although it’s been many years since he sold the shop, LaBelle has continued to be a presence there and Daubenspeck said the mustachioed, joke-a-minute LaBelle will continue to be employed at the store.

“I was looking for a way to get into downtown America,” said Daubenspeck, who is hoping to transition out of his career as a traveling salesman and into a lifestyle that reminds him of when he was

growing up in Mount Vernon, Ohio and was a paper boy for the Mount Vernon News. His route included the downtown area of his hometown and he knew nearly everyone who lived and worked there. “I believe in downtowns, I believe downtowns work.”

“We’re all used to going to the Wal-Marts and big chain stores that are sending all the manufacturing overseas, we’ve gotten so fast-paced that we’ve forgotten about the local store around the corner that can do the same thign, more cost-effective in many cases.”

The independently-owned businesses, he noted, often offer levels of service that the national retailers don’t. LaBelle’s is an extreme example of that axiom, offering services that chains are happy to leave in yesteryear. LaBelle’s offers some retail, such as shoestrings, shoe polish and pedorthics. They also offer shoe shining, leather repair, shoe repair and resoling with LaBelle’s unusual level of expertise. Two recent examples include a refurbishing of periodcorrect boots used by a Civil War re-enactor and two pairs of women’s shoes that are so old that they’re see next page

TRIAL from page one Arguing that the state will prove Christopher Kelly, 34, is guilty of being a felon in possession of a handgun, resisted arrest and endangered a 4-yearold daughter of his then girlfriend, now wife, Alisha Morgan, during the five-hour standoff with police is Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen.

Gulbrandsen said she would prove that Kelly didn’t come out of the house when members of the Belknap County Special Operations Group began yelling over a bull horn for him to surrender just after 1:30 a.m. and that he used the little girl as “a human shield” so the SWAT Teams that were assembled wouldn’t shoot him.

Arguing that Kelly did none of those things is Gilmanton Attorney Mark Sisti, who, after hearing Guldbrandsen’s PowerPoint-supported opening remarks, told the jury that the scientific evidence — one set of fingerprints found on a handgun recovered from the Union Road home — didn’t belong to Kelly but to a Gilford woman who was also in the house.

“When somebody says, ‘I’ll tell you a story,’” began Sisti, “But forgets to tell you something gigantic important... wouldn’t you like to know that?”

Sisti went on to tell the jury that the only set of fingerprints found on a handgun that was allegedly fired three times at police while they surrounded the house were those of Diamond Morrill — a friend of Kelly and his wife who had been staying with them on Union Road.

In her opening, Guldbrandsen also said that it shouldn’t have taken 50 police officers five hours to arrest Kelly because he should have come out immediately when the Belknap Regional Special Operations Group (BRSOG) began calling his name on the from preceding page held together using wooden pegs instead of nails or glue.

“Businesses like this should bring business to downtown,” Daubenspeck said. Shoppers will come downtown because they’re looking for a kind of service they can only get at LaBelle’s, and while they’re in the area they might stop at a nearby storefront for a haircut, a sandwich or cup of coffee, or browse for antiques. “My intention is to keep the business the same and try to grow it stronger, keep it a viable business,” he said.

Boudreau said she’ll be leaving to work at Summit Health, but she will continue to be seen at the informal group of downtown merchants that has congregated at LaBelle’s before hours. “I’ll be back in the morning for tea,” she said.

bullhorn at 1:30 a.m.

Morgan came out of the house immediately and was detained by police and prevented from returning inside.

In his opening, Sisti said that when the bullhorn sounded Kelly was in the house with a 4-year-old child, a “half-crazed woman” (Morrill) with a gun somewhere inside and members of the SWAT team all armed with rifles outside.

“He calls 9-1-1,” said Sisti. “He’s scared out of his mind.”

According to police affidavits and testimony from two of the members of the sheriff’s department, Deputy William Wright and Lt. David Perkins, the evening began when Wright, who is assigned by the sheriff to the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force — learned on Sept. 3 that Kelly was staying in Morgan’s former Union Road home.

A warrant had been issued for Kelly’s arrest in March of 2010 but it wasn’t until September that Wright said he learned Kelly was in Belmont.

Wright testified yesterday that after hearing where Kelly was allegedly staying he went to Perkins who ordered the BRSOG to be on “stand by, meaning members of the team and their respective bosses were notified of a potential “call out.”

Members of BRSOG are sheriff’s deputies and members of individual local police departments.

At 10 p.m. Wright said he sent reconnaissance police to “scout” Morgan’s house for a “positive sighting”of Kelly to get the warrant signed by a judge.

Wright said once Kelly was identified as one of a few people who were in a stand-alone garage, he secured the warrant and notified Perkins.

From LaBelle’s perspective, selling the business and continuing to work as an employee has been a good trick. “It’s been great. I don’t have any worries, I just come in and do my time. It’s a pleasure to see the business carry on.”

Daubenspeck looks forward to leaving his job as a traveling salesman and settling in to downtown Laconia. “The business has been here since 1980, we continue to do everything we did in 1980 and more.”

LaBelle’s is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Wednesday and Saturday. LaBelle’s operates drop-off locations in Alton, Wolfeboro, Meredith, Plymouth, Bristol and Andover as well as Bradford, Vt. See www.shoerepairnh.com for more information.

Under cross examination, Wright said he didn’t know there was a child in the house and that police were also looking for Morrill. Wright also couldn’t say for sure when of if he saw Kelly leave the garage and enter the house.

“The garage is the last time I had 100-percent knowledge,” said Wright.

Wright also testified that it was around 3 p.m. when somebody inside the house fired three shots.

He said it was after Perkins broke a window and was using a camera on a long pole to look inside.

Under cross examination, he said he didn’t see who fired the gun but could tell from his SWAT team training that by its muffled sound that all three shots were allegedly fired from inside.

Wright also said the fingerprints on the gun would tell 100-percent who handled the gun and that he had no direct evidence that Kelly had handled the gun and wiped it down.

He said he had information from a confidential informant that Kelly “routinely wiped it down.”

When Sisti asked him who his informant was, Guldbrandsen objected but after conferring privately with the judge, Guldbrandsen was overruled and Wright identified the informant by name.

Perkins testified to what happened during the actual standoff and said he was the “team leader.”

At Guldbrandsen’s request he drew for the jury a schematic of the house and also set out his own written timeline for the evening.

He said the armored “Bearcat” arrived at 1;40 p.m. and when Deputy Richard Grenier, who drives the Bearcat, began calling for Kelly to come out of the house, there was “no response from inside.”

He said he used a crowbar to pry open at least one window so he could stick his camera with the pole inside to look around and had cleared one room but when he went to pry open a second window, it fell inside and made a “thud,” which apparently woke up the dog that was sleeping on the bed.

Perkins said the dog made noise when it got off the bed and that’s when a spot light came on and was shining in their faces.

He said he didn’t know if someone turned on the spotlight of if it was on a motion sensor, he said he heard two initial gunshots, broke a window to look in with the infra-red spy camera and “very distinctly heard a third gunshot.”

He said he couldn’t see anything because he was looking at the back of a television.

After her heard the three gun shots Perkins said had his team back off the house and he called for a robot see next page

To $1.45

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 1, 2011 — Page 13

from preceding page from the N.H. State Police and a second negotiator.

Perkins also testified that by about 6 a.m. the sun was out and Kelly could be seen walking inside the house talking on his cell phone and holding the little girl. He said it appeared the girl was sleeping and had her head on Kelly’s shoulder.

He said Kelly’s emotions seemed to be all over the place — at times he seemed calm and another time he yelled, “Just (expletive) kill me.”

“His mood fluctuated from calm to vulgar,” said Perkins.

Sisti cross examined Perkins about where the barricade was, there was evidence that someone had used a mattress to block the door to one of the bedroom, and whether or not he knew for sure it was Kelly and not Morrill.

Perkins testified that when Kelly came out of the house, at 6:20 a.m., he told them Morrill was inside and had a gun.

Perkins said police found the gun, shown in an earlier picture, next to the bed where Morrill was found wrapped in a blanket and when the robot went inside, it got hung up on something and could only photograph her feet sticking out from the end of the blanket.

He said he personally never saw the gun until it came back from the state lab where it was tested for, among other things, fingerprints, and a serial number that had been allegedly filed off.

Testimony today is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. after Judge O’Neill hears

arguments on a last-minute motion to limit what the jury can hear about things Morgan told police when she was detained outside the home.

Guldbrandsen filed the motion at noon after Sisti brought up things Morgan allegedly said during his opening statements.

She is arguing though Morgan is not a witness because she was out of the house and in custody, some of the things she allegedly told police when she came from the house should be inadmissible under rules of evidence.

When Judge James O’Neill III asked Sisti if he was ready to argue the motion he said “Absolutely not. I want to do research.”

Guldbrandsen’s motion and Sisti’s response will be argued and decided before the jury reconvenes at 1 :30 p.m. O’Neill ruled that until he decides Guldbrandsen’s motion, no police officers who had contact with Morgan that night can testify.

In a separate trial earlier this year in Laconia District Court, Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon dismissed one misdemeanor charge of hindering apprehension against Morgan.

Diamond Morrill was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury in November 2010 for three counts of felony reckless endangerment.

Kelly was indicted in November of 2010 for resisting arrest and felony endangering the welfare of a child. In March of 2011, a different Belknap County grand jury indicted Kelly on one felony count of being a felon in possession of a weapon.

CAIN from page 2 the little gesture,” he said.

Cain started the day with a breakfast appearance at the American Enterprise Institute, and he said, “I do have a sense of humor and some people have a problem with that.” In the interview with AP, Cain said that comment did not refer to the sexual harassment allegations.

“I was just referring to my natural sense of humor. So it was not related to that, OK?” he said.

He also had said in humorous fashion, “As a result of today’s big news story, I really know what it feels like to be No. 1.”

The trade association declined to comment on the allegations.

“The incidents in question relate to personnel matters that allegedly took place nearly fifteen years ago. Consistent with our longstanding policy, we don’t comment on personnel issues relating to current or former employees,” National Restaurant Association spokeswoman Sue Hensley said in a statement.

Cain — a self-styled outsider relatively new to the national spotlight — is facing a new level of scrutiny after a burst of momentum in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

He’s been at or near the top of national surveys and polls in early presidential nominating states, competitive with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, long considered the Republican to beat. Cain has been pointing to his long record in business to argue that he has the credentials to be president during a time of economic strife.

So far, Cain has seemed to weather a series of stumbles; the former radio talk show host had to clarify recent statements on abortion, the treatment of terrorism suspects and the placing of an electrified fence along the U.S.Mexico border. He’s also shrugged off questions that have started to surface about his management style, including criticisms about a lackluster approach to his own presidential campaign. He lags his top competitors in organization and fundraising.

HOUSES from page one sonal homes grew from 17-percent to 23-percent of all dwelling units in the city.

Meanwhile, the number of owneroccupied homes rose by just 41 units, or one-percent, from 3,819 in 2000 to 3,860 in 2010 while the number of occupied rental units grew by 73, or 2.5-percent, from 2,905 to 2,978.

Owner-occupied units represent about 57-percent and rental units 43-percent of the housing stock.

In Belknap County the housing stock increased by 5,265 units, from 32,121 to 37,389, or by 16-percent during the decade with 1,898 additional seasonal homes representing 22-percent of the growth. In 2010, there were 10,467 seasonal homes in the county, accounting for 28-percent of all dwelling units.

Between 2000 and 2010, seasonal homes represented 57-percent of the increase in housing units in Center Harbor, 55-percent in Gilford, 42-percent in Alton and 18-percent in Meredith. The number of seasonal homes rose 40-percent in Center Harbor, 30-percent in Gilford, 20-percent in Alton and 6-percent in Meredith as the five municipalities bordering Lake Winnipesaukee — Laconia, Gilford, Alton, Meredith and Center Harbor — accounted for half of the increase in seasonal homes in the county.

Seasonal properties represent 45-percent of the housing stock in Alton, 36-percent in both Gilford and Meredith and 32-percent in Center Harbor. In 2010, 8,084, or 77-percent, of all the seasonal homes in the county were in these five communities.

SHELTERS from page 2 “It will be cold in the evenings,” Lynch told reporters at a briefing on the storm.

Lynch said that could mean more people will seek the warmth at shelters. He said 243 people stayed in shelters Sunday night. Nine shelters are open with a 1,200-bed capacity.

The snow forced some communities to postpone Halloween trick-ortreating from Sunday to Monday.

In Manchester, which scheduled its time for Monday night after years of holding it on the Sunday before the holiday, postponed trick-or-treating to Sunday, Nov. 6. A notice on the city’s web site said the uncertainty of roads, sidewalks, traffic lights and downed power lines made it too risky now.

“I don’t really care, ‘cause then we have extra time to sled and ski, so that’s good,” said Allen Gawlowicz, 10, of Bedford, who was sledding at the popular Bragdon Farm hill in Amherst on Monday.

Kimberly Ayers, of Amherst, who was at the hill with her children, said her kids were excited to play in the snow but disappointed that trick-ortreating was postponed.

“But that gives us a little bit more time for the snow to melt. I don’t know how we would’ve been hiking through all this,” she said.

Her home still was in the dark Monday afternoon, but she shrugged it off.

“We just break out the flashlights, stoke up the woodstove and read a lot of books, play games,” she said. “It’s

not the end of the world. It’s kind of fun the first 24 hours.”

Lynch asked the federal government on Monday for an emergency declaration that could mean state and local governments would qualify for federal help with the storm cleanup.

If approved, the federal government would pay 75 percent of the cost.

Lynch said no estimate of the cost has been tallied. He said he has asked local governments to keep track of their costs.

“No matter how you look at it, that makes it easier,” said Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas.

Gatsas said he has no idea yet what it will cost the city. He said crews are still working to remove trees on streets.

“There’s no question it was a very severe storm,” he said.

Chris Pope, director of state Homeland Security and Emergency Management, cautioned people to be careful clearing debris, especially trees around power lines. Assume any power lines are live, he said.

“Those trees and branches are tangled with wires,” he said.

State Fire Marshal William Degnan warned homeowners against clearing trees from houses and cars on their own.

“That tree could roll and crush you,” he said.

Such danger was far from the minds of the children enjoying a sunny day of sledding in Amherst.

“I’ve never seen Halloween with snow in my life so I think I’ll remember that,” said Gawlowicz.

STORM from page 2 seems like a long time from now,” he said.

Companies brought in crews from other states to help, but with lights out and live wires down all over the place, many communities urged children to skip trick-or-treating or at least postpone it until later in the week.

“I was upset because I really wanted to go trick-and-treating and get candy,” said 12-year-old McKenzie Gallasso of South Windsor, Conn., who was deciding whether to be a witch or a werewolf when the phone rang with the bad news that town officials were advising families to call off trick-ortreating. “This year I’ll have to eat candy from my mom.”

In Berlin, Mass., Glen Mair was trying to find someplace for his two children to go for Halloween after the town canceled trick-or-treating. He said they might go to a condominium

complex or a neighboring town.

“This is like a mean practical joke,” he said of the storm.

Mercedes Hidalgo of Pompton Lakes, N.J., was disappointed the street would be too dark Monday night to hand out candy.

“I have all the candy since probably three, four weeks ago that I bought it, but honestly, what I did — in the dark, with my flashlight — I was eating chocolate all night to try and warm up,” she said.

In addition to ruining Halloween, the storm was turning into a budget nightmare for cities and towns already dealing the costs of Irene.

“There’s no question that most municipal budgets are past bending and into breaking,” said William Steinhaus, the top elected of official in Dutchess County, in New York’s see next page

La Russa retires with 3rd World Series win ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tony La Russa waited until after the championship parade and then called a team meeting with his players.

“We didn’t know what to expect,” said pitcher Chris Carpenter, who won Game 7 of the World Series against Texas on Friday night. “I think we all figured it was just going to be like, ‘Thataway guys. Great year. Way to battle!’

Instead, he dropped that on us. I think everybody was caught off-guard.”

And with that, the 67-year-old La Russa said goodbye to baseball and became the first manager to retire immediately after leading his team to a Series title — the third of his career.

“I think this just feels like it’s time to end it,” he said Monday. “When I look in the mirror, I know I’d come back for the wrong reasons, and I didn’t want to do that.”

La Russa said he told general manager John Mozeliak of his decision in August — before the Cards rallied from a 10½-game deficit in the NL wild-card race to upset Philadelphia

and Milwaukee in the playoffs.

They won the thrilling seven-game Series after twice coming within a strike of elimination in Game 6.

“I tip my hat to him. He’s had a great career. What a way to go out,” Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.

The player meeting was short and emotional.

“Some grown men cried,” La Russa said, joking that, “I kind of liked that because they made me cry a few times.

La Russa won the World Series with Oakland in 1989, and St. Louis in 2006 and this year, joining Sparky Anderson as the only manager to win with clubs in both leagues.

During 33 seasons with the Chicago White Sox (1979-86), Oakland (198695) and St. Louis (1996-11), La Russa compiled a 2,728-2,365 regular-season record. He trails only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763) for wins. And his 70 postseason victories are behind only Joe Torre’s 84.

Patriots humbled by loss in Pittsburgh FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Upon further review, the New England Patriots see there is a lot of work left to do if they are to contend for the AFC championship.

The Patriots watched video Monday of a 25-17 loss at Pittsburgh the day before. And they didn’t look any better the second time around.

“There are things they did that obviously caused some problems,” New England coach Bill Belichick said. “We either didn’t make adjustments to it quick enough or in some cases we tried to adjust to it but we just couldn’t get it done the way we needed to get it done. Overall, they just did a little better job than we did.”

The Patriots had a somber look in the locker room Monday after watching the video and most declined interview requests.

New England (5-2) fell behind 10-0 and was never able to complete the comeback. The Patriots ran just three plays of offense in the first quarter and the weary defense couldn’t stop the Steelers, who drove 68 yards for a touchdown on the opening series.

Pittsburgh also converted 10 of 16 times on third down and held the Patriots to just 213 yards of offense.

Still, the Patriots had a chance after Tom Brady’s 1-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Hernandez cut the lead to 23-17 with 2:35 left.

“We played a good game. We fought it out all the way, but they played a better game. They were ready,” safety Patrick Chung said.

The Patriots are back at home this week, hosting the New York Giants (5-2).

Quarterback Tom Brady said Monday during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio that the Steelers’ defense did a good job of forcing the Patriots out of any hopes of a balanced offensive game.

“When you play the Steelers, you’ve got to be somewhat balanced. You’ve got to be able to run the ball efficiently. And then when you throw it, you’ve got to throw it on your terms. We were throwing it on their terms all day,” Brady said.

“They’ve got a good defense. They have a great scheme. They have one of the best defensive coordinators of alltime and some incredible players on defense.”

Autumn Leaves show held over for second weekend BELMONT — The Music Clinic Theatre Company will repeat its performances of the concert “Autumn Leaves” this weekend with three additional performances on Friday, November 4 and Saturday, November 5 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 6 at 3 p.m.

The show features seasonal songs of genres from opera, Broadway, folk, and jazz. “We had such a good time with our audiences last October that we decided to make ‘Autumn Leaves’ a yearly tradition”, said Musical Director and singer Karen Simpson, owner of the Music Clinic.

“We have new material, but the overall theme of the show is the same celebration of positive changes symbolized by the ending of one season and the beginning of another,” says Simpson.

Simpson is joined in the show by cast members George “Rusty” Locke, Tom Mann and Laurie McDaniel, and this Sunday’s performance will add singer Jonathen Warren. Molly Wood is piano accompanist.

This year, the company welcomes new member Susana Hajjar, a Syrian singer who studied voice

with Simpson. Hajjar performes two Arabic folk songs which relate to the hopes and struggles of the Arab Spring revolution of the Middle East.

“Our approach to the show has always been a global perspective, since we have numbers in Italian, Spanish and French, “ Laurie McDaniel, MCTC Artistic Director. “Susana brings an exotic, touching and timely musical perspective to our production.

We are lucky to have her with us.”

“Autumn Leaves” will feature both solos and group songs in a free-flowing concert, in an intimate stage setting with fireplace, candles and autumn decor.

Music Clinic Theatre Company is ending its second year of successful productions, having presented the musical “I Do! I Do!” last August, and “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” in 2010.

Performances are at the Music Clinic Theatre, 197 Daniel Webster Highway, Belmont, across from the China Garden Restaurant. Tickets are $15, $12 seniors. Reservations are recommended. Call 603677-2777 for tickets.

Laconia High School Theatre Arts presents ‘The Boardinghouse’ comedy November 3-5 LACONIA — Laconia High School Theatre Arts will present the fun, frantic family comedy, “The Boardinghouse” on Thursday November 3 and Friday, November 4, at 7 p.m., and Saturday, November 5 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors.

Director Bernie Campbell invites people to come out and enjoy a delightful evening of laughs in this comedy by Vern Harden in which they will meet the guests on Miss Harriet’s boardinghouse: Mr. Richards, who practices dying to inspire his writing; Ivy, who enjoys painting people; Martha Willis, who is always has some fatal disease and Gladys, a taxidermist who enjoys talking to dead people.

Add in the mystery of a buried treasure, the arrival of the mysterious Dirk Shadow, and you have a recipe for a wild night at the Boardinghouse.

“I’m very excited,” said Campbell. “I have a lot of new people this year, and a lot of talent.”

The show features to separate casts. “I had a lot of interest this fall, and the cast is relatively small.

We usually only do three shows, but we decided to do four, with each cast getting two shows,” Campbell said with a grin.

Thursday and Saturday night the cast is led by junior Kat Beliveau as Harriet, and features several freshman talents, including Alana Persson and Emily Paronto as the duo of Ivy, and Tweenie, the maid. Also featured in this cast is senior Drew Prag as Mr. Richards, and sophomore John Hammond as the villainous Dirk Shadow.

Friday night and the Saturday matinee features senior Hailey Miles as Harriet, and relative newcomer Quinn Davis as Shadow. Senior Beth Tiechert plays the taxidermist Gladys Klotz, and freshman Mary Santos plays her “frienemy”, Martha Willis.

The Boardinghouse is presented by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services, Inc.

LACONIA — The 68 Boy Scout Amateur Radio Club, dormant for nearly 18 months, is being revived at an organizational meeting which will be held Thursday, November 3, at 6:30 p.m The meeting will be held at the Boy Scout hut behind St. Joseph Church according to Chris Reynolds, who says that the club was founded by avid ham radio operator Lou Laverdure, in and had an active membership of 19 at one time. Many members took classes and earned their own licenses.

Laverdure passed away in October of 2010 and the radio club went dormant.

Reynolds says he is committed to continue Laverdure’s legacy with the radio club and is inviting anyone interested in seeing what the club has to offer to come to the meeting. He says the club is a

leg of Troop 68 and will have membership from that troop but is not limmited to just troop 68.

“I would like to invite other scouts from other area troops, and anyone else interested either in scouts or not,’’ says Reynolds.

There will be types of memberships, full and associate. Full membership is for those that want to learn how to communicate around the world and be active in local activities where communications is needed. The associate membership is for those that want to be part of the club, but do not have an interest in the radio part. Associate members are needed to provide extra hands setting up antennas or anything else related to the club other than talking on the radio. Both types of memberships will have equal voting during meetings, and either one can hold a board of directors position.

GILMANTON — There will be a farewell celebration Gilmanton Year Round Library’s Claudette Gill on Thursday, November 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the library.

director.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A puzzle needs solving. Take time to list all of the elements. As with jigsaw puzzles, it helps if you first lay out all the pieces on the table, picture side up.

Then start sorting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll be paying for a service. A 12 percent to 20 percent tip may be customary, but use your feelings instead of a calculator to figure the amount that’s perfect for you. Give what you feel like giving -- no more, no less.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There is an opportunity to travel coming up. As long as it is in line with your other goals and purposes and doesn’t cut too far into your budget, you will gladly take it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re not sure you have the energy to dive into a project, but dive you will. It’s because you trust the process of life.

You have a feeling that your adrenaline reserves will kick in when you need them most -- and you’re right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is no need to struggle. When you feel yourself losing your even temper and grounded manner, step back and look at the problem from another angle. The key is to stay calm.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1).

You’ll reexamine your relationship with someone you’ve known a long time.

A new point of view will set you free in some way. Perhaps you’ll develop strong ties with an old flame. Over the next three months, you’ll acquire skills that are more in line with the current job market. 2012 brings fun and laughter.

Love signs are Cancer and Virgo. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 37, 28, 52 and 17.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Someone will suggest that your presentation was close but not quite right. This person may have some insights you can use. Then again, this person isn’t the final word that can put you through to the next level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just because it has never been done before doesn’t mean you can’t do it. By the same token, just because it has been done before doesn’t mean you won’t be the one to do it different and better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll close the gap between two friends who don’t know how to get along. You’ll hold the space between them and act as a buffer. You’ll also be an interpreter of sorts, softening their messages to each other.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are so loyal to the terms of your friendships, spoken and unspoken. The only trouble is that the unspoken terms may not be mutually understood. This is your chance to remedy any miscommunication. Be direct.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You refuse to let things get too complicated. You may have felt the need to impress someone before, but you no longer care. You let go of self-consciousness.

You have fun, and you are fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You understand what it’s like to be too close to a situation to have a useful perspective on it. What looks like a no-brainer to you may be far from obvious to the person dealing with the situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask yourself what it would take to make big things happen in your world. One idea leads to another. Acting boldly now will save you from tedious, boring work later.

TUESDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 1, the 305th day of 2011. There are 60 days left in the year.

This is All Saints Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 1, 1861, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln named Gen. George B. McClellan General-in-Chief of the Union armies, succeeding Winfield Scott.

On this date: In 1512, Michelangelo finished Painting the ceiling of the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.

In 1765, the Stamp Act went into effect, prompting stiff resistance from American colonists.

In 1936, in a speech in Milan, Italy, Benito Mussolini described the alliance between his country and Nazi Germany as an “axis” running between Rome and Berlin.

In 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to force their way into Blair House in Washington, D.C., in a failed attempt to assassinate President Harry S. Truman.

(One of the pair was killed, along with a White House police officer.)

In 1952, the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb, code-named “Ivy Mike,” at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America unveiled its new voluntary Film rating system: G for general, M for mature (later changed to GP, then PG), R for restricted and X (later changed to NC-17) for adults only.

In 1979, former first lady Mamie Eisenhower died in Washington, D.C., at age 82.

One year ago: Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, 61, was convicted by a jury in Erie, Pa., of participating in a bizarre plot in which a pizza delivery driver was forced to rob a bank wearing a metal bomb collar that later exploded, killing him. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series with a 3-1 victory over the Texas Rangers in Game 5.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 1, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My fiancee, “Beth,” and I have been together for more than two years. Recently, she called off our wedding, saying she isn’t ready. The wedding was planned for a year in the future, so I am grateful she told me now.

A few weeks later, we decided to take a break and work on the relationship. We live in separate houses. Beth has a fulltime job. I am in school and work part time. We used to see each other every day. Now, although we still talk daily, I only see her twice a week at most.

Beth is talking to a counselor about her issues, and we have started couples counseling. One of our main problems is that she becomes distant when things aren’t going well and subconsciously pushes me away. I have never loved and trusted anyone as much as I do her. How can I support and help her?

-- Confused in California Dear Confused: You already are being supportive by attending counseling sessions and not pushing Beth to make decisions any sooner than she is able. We hope counseling will help you reach a satisfactory resolution. If so, your relationship will be stronger than ever. But please understand it is also possible that underlying issues will come to light and one of you might decide that marriage is not in the cards. This is neither good nor bad. It is simply how things sometimes work out.

Dear Annie: I have a former school friend, “Paula,” who has lived in another state for 30 years. She and her husband visit relatives in our area once or twice a year. She has hinted that they would like to stay overnight at our house. We have one guest bedroom, but my husband uses it as his bedroom.

We would rather Paula not know that we have separate bedrooms.

I would like Paula and her husband to visit our home but find lodging elsewhere. She is always inviting us to stay with

them, and we turn the offers down because if we accepted, we would be obligated to return the favor. What can we do?

-- Prefer Privacy Dear Prefer: Do some legwork and find hotels or motels nearby. (We assume there are reasons she cannot stay at the homes of her various relatives.) You are not obligated to put them up at your house. It’s OK to say, “We wish we could accommodate you, but it is simply not possible. However, there’s a lovely motel a few miles away, and we’d be thrilled to pick you up and bring you here for dinner.”

Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Bruised in Nebraska,” the 12-year-old boy who said his brother yelled at him and hit him, and whose mother refused to get involved.

Your answer wasn’t strong enough. It is possible the writer’s brother is, in fact, an abuser in the making, and the mother is in denial. So what if he provokes his brother? The boy has to learn that he cannot hurt anyone, regardless of provocation.

Avoiding him will not solve the problem.

The only helpful advice you gave was to talk to the school counselor and his doctor. Hopefully, “Bruised” will seek guidance before the brother does something that cannot be undone. -- Los Angeles, Calif.

Dear Los Angeles: Many readers were upset because we said siblings can provoke each other into hitting. Others said the brother was mentally ill. Many readers assumed “Bruised” was female and should be treated the same as a spousal abuse victim.

Since we didn’t have that much information, we treated this as a sibling rivalry that was getting out of hand, and since the parents were doing nothing, the school authorities and the family physician would be the best way to report it. We appreciate our readers’ concern and hope “Bruised” follows through.

Gallery and talent review Nov. 4 benefitting Pemi-Baker Literacy Project PLYMOUTH — Two events planned for Friday November 4, will support Pemi-Baker Literacy.

First, on Friday evening from 5-8 pm the Gallery at Red Gate Farm is hosting an artists reception and awards ceremony for the opening of their latest exhibit – Plymouth Printmakers, Chapter 2.

That same evening Pemi-Baker Literacy will also be hosting it’s annual talent review, Treats and Sweets, at the Common Man Inn, at 7 pm.

Both events showcase local talent found in the Plymouth area while both are supporting the programs of Pemi-Baker Literacy.

The Gallery at Red Gate Farm has pledged a portion of all proceeds from sales on Friday to PBL, and as an added bonus is exhibiting several works by Janet Cocchiaro, Pemi-Baker Literacy’s executive director. This is a unique opportunity to see Janet’s work as a printmaker at Red Gate, and then proceed to the Common Man Inn, to see a talent review supporting her work with Pemi-Baker Literacy.

Another of the printmakers show exhibitors, returning artist Susan Wei, has donated an original quilt to PBL and Red Gate Farm will be selling raffle tickets through 6 pm Friday for the drawing to be held at Treats and Sweets later Friday evening.
