American combat troops prepare to leave Iraq by the end of the year.

SSgt Casey Brennan of Gilmanton, who completed his final tour of duty in Iraq in

July and is now a police officer in Belmont, told those attending a Veterans Day ceremony at the state POW-MIA memorial in Hesky Park on Friday that over the last eight years

he has seen “the transition of the Iraqi people and just how strong they have become.”

He said that he hopes that continues and that a strong Iraqi nation will emerge that will justify the loss of American lives in the war. see VEt day page 9

LACONIA — The Belknap County Convention will choose from among four candidates to fill the vacancy on the Gunstock Area Commission arising from the expiration of the term of John Morgenstern of Gilford when it meets on Monday.

Morgenstern, who was named to the commission in 2007, said yesterday that he was seeking a second fiveyear term. The other candidates are Phil Brouillard, an attorney and developer from Gilford, Steven Thomas, an engineer from Gilford and Dave Gammon, a former Laconia city councilor.

Not for the first time, Gammon has questioned the commission’s oversight of Gunstock Mountain Resort, which is owned by the county. Noting that the county taxpayers own the facility, which they rescued financially in difficult times and annually lend in anticipation of revenues, he questions the elimination of discounted season passes for residents. see aPPOINt page 10

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Carol Lee Anderson, a non-skier who moved to Gilford two decades ago, may not seem like an obvious choice of a person to write the history of the Gunstock Mountain Resort. Sometimes, it seems, it takes the perspective of an outsider to see a story as a whole.

Earlier this year, the History Press published Anderson’s book “The History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Moun-

“The History of Gunstock” is graced with a forward from Penny Pitou, Olympic medalist and the unofficial first lady of skiing in New Hampshire. Pitou, a Gilford native who learned to ski at the facilities and with the people described in Ander-

Referring to Anderson, Pitou writes in the forward, “I believe that only she could write this book... The task has been a daunting one, but the respect she has for the individuals who make up the history of Gunstock is immense, and it shows.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks surged Friday, erasing their losses for the week, after Italy and Greece moved closer to getting their financial crises under control.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped back above 12,000.

Italy’s benchmark stock index leapt 3.7 percent and its borrowing costs plunged after the country’s Senate passed a crucial austerity budget demanded by the European Union.

Other European stock markets and the euro also pushed higher as investors became more confident that Italy would avoid a fiscal disaster.

The passage clears the way for Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi to step down.

Berlusconi was widely considered an obstacle to serious economic reforms. The yield on Italy’s benchmark twoyear bond dropped 0.43 percentage point to 5.69 see STOCKS page 11

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Leaders across the country felt increasing pressure Friday to shut down Occupy encampments after two men died in shootings and another was found dead from a suspected combination of drugs and carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a propane heater inside a tent.

Citing a strain on crime-fighting resources, police first pleaded with and then ordered Occupy Oakland protesters to leave their encampment at the City Hall plaza where a man was shot and killed late

Thursday.

The Oakland Police Officer’s Association, which represents rank-and-file police, issued an open letter saying the camp is pulling officers away from crime-plagued neighborhoods.

“With last night’s homicide, in broad daylight, in the middle of rush hour, Frank Ogawa Plaza is no longer safe,” the letter said. “Please leave peacefully, with your heads held high, so we can get police officers back to work fighting crime in Oak-

land neighborhoods.”

Late in the afternoon, police officers acting at the direction of Mayor Jean Quan distributed fliers to protesters warning that the camp violates the law and must be disbanded immediately. The notices warned campers they would face arrest if tents and other materials were not removed, although the warnings did not say by when.

The city issued similar written warnsee OCCUPY page 9

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — All the familiar sights and sounds of a football weekend at Penn State were on display: Crowded sidewalks and restaurants, fans dressed in the blue-and-white of their cherished Nittany Lions, scalpers pestering passers-by for extra tickets.

Something, however, was clearly missing.

Happy Valley is anything but these days.

“There’s no life here,” Homer Berlew said as he and his wife, Sandra, strolled the

campus to take pictures Friday. “Nothing is being said. It’s like everyone’s in a daze.”

As the most tumultuous week in Penn State’s history came to a close, the university struggled with a child sex-abuse scandal that has rocked the school and cost football coach Joe Paterno and President Graham Spanier their jobs.

The board of trustees, in its first public meeting since firing Paterno and Spanier, began the process of repairing Penn

State’s image by forming a committee to investigate the university’s failures to stop alleged sex abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

The school also put wide receivers coach Mike McQueary — a key witness against Sandusky — on paid leave. It already had said McQueary would not be at Saturday’s final home game against Nebraska because of “multiple threats,” and the Harrisburg see PENN STATE page 13

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Disguising himself with an alias, the mayor of Utah’s second-largest city has been writing upbeat freelance articles about his town for area news outlets because he claimed the media spent too much time on crime coverage.

He unapologetically revealed him-

“I thought about all the people just reading about crime in our city and nothing better,” West Valley City Mayor Mike Winder said Friday. “I’m trying to stand up for us because we do get the short end of

the stick — negative stories.”

Winder had been writing under the name Richard Burwash, an alias he actually swiped from a real man — a one-time professional tennis player from California — that he found on the Internet. see MAYOR page 12

Democratic leader calls Perry & Cain manage crises with humor & defiance Nov. 30 House vote on Lynch plan for education funding amendment to N.H. Constitution a ‘publicity stunt’ CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — House Democratic Leader Terie Norelli is throwing Republican House Speaker William O’Brien’s words back at him for calling the governor’s proposed constitutional amendment on school funding a publicity stunt.

Norelli sent O’Brien a letter Thursday criticizing O’Brien’s plan to call representatives into session Nov. 30 to vote on Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s proposal, saying that move was merely a bid for media attention.

Norelli said amending the constitution is an important undertaking and should be done more thoughtfully and with public input. She said the House should hold a hearing next year on Lynch’s proposal before voting on it.

“This process appears to be designed to be a media or publicity stunt, rather than an attempt to have an open and honest debate about various proposals. We will not be party to this disrespect for the solemnity and importance of our state constitution,” she wrote. “We will not participate in a process that locks the door to the public.”

Norelli declined O’Brien’s invitation that the two of them co-sponsor the floor amendment containing Lynch’s proposal so it can be voted on Nov. 30.

Last month, O’Brien was the one accusing Lynch of a publicity stunt when Lynch released the wording of his amendment without first consulting O’Brien and Senate President Peter Bragdon. The two Republican leaders have been trying unsuccessfully to reach a compromise over an amendment with the Democratic governor for months.

Republicans don’t need Lynch to pass an amendment. They have a 294-104 margin over Democrats see HOUSE page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rick Perry and Herman Cain have chosen far different weapons in their race to recover first and best from the crises that have rocked their presidential campaigns. Humor is Perry’s choice. For Cain, defiance.

The assignment for both men: Fit the response to the predicament, with no margin for error.

Perry rushed to the talk circuit in a bid to persuade Republican voters not to take his forgetful Wednesday night debate “oops” so seriously.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about -- I think things went well,” the Texas governor joked the next evening on David Letterman’s “Late Show.” ‘’I wanted to help take the heat off my buddy Herman Cain.”

He certainly did, at least for a day, with the stunning 54-second brain freeze in which Perry tried and failed to recall a third Cabinet agency he would abolish.

Cain, a week-and-a-half into denying at least four sexual harassment accusations, finally was able to talk about something else. Facing serious allegations, he hasn’t been laughing about any of it — with the brief exception of his reaction Thursday to a question about Anita Hill, who had accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during Thomas’ confirmation hearing.

“Is she going to endorse me?” Cain replies on camera, bursting out laughing.

By Friday, he was back to explaining himself.

“He said it in a humorous way, I gave back a humorous response,” Cain said on Fred Dicker’s radio show in Albany, N.Y. “It was no way intended to be an insult to Anita Hill or anybody else.”

Cain, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, has opted for defiance, firmly denying all allegations as pushes his insurgent campaign toward the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

“Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been through hell,” Cain told his supporters in Kalamazoo, Mich.

“But here’s the good news: It didn’t kill me or slow me down one bit.”

Private polling suggests the harassment controversy has taken a bite out of Cain’s once-solid lead in Iowa. And a new nationwide CBS News poll out Friday indicates he has lost support among women.

The CBS News poll, conducted Nov. 6-10 during the span of both crises, suggests a three-way tie for the nomination between Cain, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and a resurgent Newt Gingrich among GOP primary voters.

The other candidates are doing what they can to manage their rivals’ crises, too.

Romney’s technique? Raise his profile in Iowa, stay on message — and let advocates in Congress and elsewhere make an argument that particularly resonates now. see PERRY & CAIN page 24

Pat Buchanan

The equality racket Our mainstream media have discovered a new issue: inequality in America. The gap between the wealthiest 1-percent and the rest of the nation is wide and growing wider.

This, we are told, is intolerable.

This is a deformation of American democracy that must be corrected through remedial government action.

What action? The rich must pay their fair share. Though the top 1-percent pay 40-percent of federal income taxes and the bottom 50-percent have, in some years, paid nothing, the rich must be made to pay more.

That’s an appealing argument to many, but one that would have horrified our founding fathers. For from the beginning, America was never about equality, except of Godgiven and constitutional rights. Our revolution was about liberty; it was about freedom.

The word equality was not even mentioned in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the Federalist Papers. The word equal does not make an appearance until the 14th Amendment’s equal protection of the laws after the Civil War. The feminists’ Equal Rights Amendment was abandoned and left to die in 1982 after 10 years of national debate.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote that memorable line — All men are created equal — he was not talking about an equality of rewards, but of rights with which men are endowed by their Creator. He was talking about an ideal.

For as he wrote John Adams in 1813, Jefferson believed nature had blessed society with a precious gift, a natural aristocracy of virtue and talents to govern it. In his autobiography, a half decade before his death in 1826, he restated this idea of the aristocracy of virtue and talent which nature has wisely provided for the direction of the interests of society.

Equality, egalite, was what the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, Mao’s Revolution of 1949, Castro’s Revolution of 1959 and Pol Pot’s revolution of 1975 claimed to be about. This was the Big Lie, for all those revolutions that triumphed in the name of equality were marked by mass murders of the old ruling class, the rise of a new ruling class more brutal and tyrannical, and the immiseration of the people in whose name the revolution was supposedly fought.

Invariably, Power to the people! winds up as power to the party and the dictator, who then act in the name of the people. The most egalitarian society of the 20th century was Mao’s China. And that regime murdered more of its own than Lenin and Stalin managed to do.

Inequality is the natural concomitant of freedom.

For just as God-given talents are unequally distributed, and the home environments of children are unequal, and individuals differ in the drive to succeed, free societies, where rewards of fame and fortune accrue to the best and brightest, must invariably become unequal societies.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, no nation achieved greater prosperity for working men and women than the United States, where all were born free, but equal only in constitutional rights. Yet, though inequalities of income and wealth have endured through the history of this republic, each generation lived better and longer than the one that came before.

That was the America we grew up in. As long as life for the working and middle classes was improving, who cared if the rich were getting richer?

Today’s new inequality is due to several factors.

One is a shift from manufacturing as the principal source of wealth to banking and finance. A second is the movement of U.S. production abroad. This has eliminated millions of high-paying jobs while enriching the executives and shareholders of the companies that cut the cost of production by relocating overseas.

With globalization, the interests of corporations — maximizing profit — and the interests of the country — maintaining economic independence — diverged. And the politicians who depend on contributions from executives and investors stuck with the folks that paid their room, board and tuition.

Yet, behind the latest crusade against inequality lie motives other than any love of the poor. They are resentment, envy and greed for what the wealthy have, and an insatiable lust for power. For the only way to equalize riches and rewards in a free society is to capture the power of government, so as to take from those who have, to give to those who have not.

And here is the unvarying argument of the left since Karl Marx: If you give us power, we will take from the rich who have so much and give it to you who have so little. But before we can do that, you must give us power. This is the equality racket.

As Alexis de Tocqueville wrote: “The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex, is simplified, and reduced ... to a single principle.”

When they come preaching equality, what they want is power.

LETTERS From where I sit, Christianity has evolved and Islam has not To the editor, You know, there are times when I’m not quite sure when Mr. Veverka is being serious and when he is giving us his very special brand of “tongue in cheek” humor on the scale of an anteater who just licked up a smattering of super glue. “When it comes to religious intolerance, sexism and anti-gay bigotry, fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Islamists are of the same species”. Sounds to me like Jimmy V. may have tapped into his inner Rosie O’Donnell. I checked out his website and while I can appreciate all the research and hard work that was put forth, I remain a tad perplexed. I am about as far away from being a religious, historical scholar as one can get, so perhaps I have misunderstood the thrust of James’ latest letter to the editor. I quote: “There are even radical Christians in the USA that side with Islamists in that homosexuals should be executed according to Biblical law”.

Perhaps I have been misled, but I don’t recall any Christians in recent memory who are executing homosexuals. I do know that it does tragically happen in many Muslim nations.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Israel the only country in the Middle East that is tolerant of the homosexual community and women for that matter? Israel is a Jewish country last time I checked, so I don’t understand the insinuation that Jews are as sexist and anti-gay as Islamists.

Here’s a quote from the website Mr. Veverka sited: “Christian fundamentalists like Ann Coulter attack Islam as being fascist, but there really is not much difference between the militancy of the Bible and that of the Quran”. “Both use violence and intimidation of one sort or another in order to coerce conformity in order to create a monolithic and uniform society”.

It would seem in the quixotic, whirligig world of progressive secular humanism that Mr. Veverka apparently lives in, he has spent way too much time swimming in ancient history. From where I sit, Christianity has evolved while Islam has not.

At least I’m not familiar with Chris-

tian and Jewish nations that stone and condemn homosexuals to death or commit honor killings upon their daughters. I believe that only occurs in Muslim societies.

I must disagree with James on another point he made. The religion of Islam has been co-opted by the 70 to 140-million radical Muslims who have indeed turned it into a political system hell bent on killing all infidels. I’m not aware of any equivalent radical Christian political system in the past millennium. Perhaps Mr. Veverka is not aware of the stunning rise of Sharia Law in Europe or that multiculturalism is destroying those societies. Please check out David Cameron, Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy’s opinion on the matter.

Actually, it would seem that Mr. Veverka may be afflicted with some rare form of political dyslexia. While multiculturalism has made staggering inroads in getting Christian symbols and Old Glory out of our public institutions, our government regulators continue to intrude on associations for groups to accept members it does not desire to include, such as what has happened with the Boy Scouts of America.

As George Will notes, “progressives struggle to deny more and more social entities the right to deviate from government-promoted homogeneity of belief. Such compulsory conformity is, of course, enforced in the name of diversity”. So, in my mind, Mr. Veverka could not be more utterly, hopelessly wrong about his Christianity vs. Islam comparisons. So much so that one wonders if it is possible that he is engaging in stealth jihad. I certainly hope that is not the case. It would be a shame to be falsely tagged with a nickname such as “Taqiyya Jim”.

Hey, I have an idea for a great addition to Mr. Veverka’s website. Take a survey of as many of the billion plus peaceful, moderate Muslims you can find and ask them which system they would feel more safe living under. I’ll eagerly look forward to viewing those results.

LETTERS Let’s relearn the lessons taught by handling of Great Depression To the editor, After reading Tony Boutin’s “Audacity of Despair”, I think the Fox News spin needs a rebuttal. The present state of economic affairs is largely due to the Bush economic policies. Unemployment, hunger, economic growth, bankruptcies, and foreclosures as they stand are part of our most recent plummet created by GOP economics.

In September of 2008, CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll showed that by a 2 to 1 margin, Americans blame Bush for this economic mess.

In a more recent poll last Summer by the Quinnipiac Poll, the 2 to 1 margin stands. Clearly, Mr Boutin spends too much of his time watching Fox. Let’s take a look at the only crash worst than Bush’s crash and see how they handled it. In the first year after the stock market crash in 1929, when banks imploded due to malfeasance, the unemployment rate was around 8-percent. A year and a half later it was over 16-percent. What was set in motion in 1929 was like a downhill freight train with no brakes. By 1932 the unemployment rate went above 24-percent. That year, 43,000 people, including 17,000 troops owed money, marched on Washington, DC. They set up camps but were dispersed

by General McArthur’s troops using bayonets and tear gas. In 1933, when FDR became president, unemployment hit 25-percent. The unemployment rate then dropped in 1934 to around 22-percent. The first national general strike was called in 1934. Not surprising, In 1934 President Roosevelt finally took the economist John Maynard Keynes seriously and created a public works project to put millions back to work. The project included schools, bridges, dams and highways for starters. In 1935 the unemployment rate was still at 20-percent when in August FDR signed The Revenue Act of 1935.

It also taxed high-earning Americans, and closed tax loopholes that the wealthy were using to legally avoid paying tax. It sharply raised taxes on income over $75,000 with those exceeding $5,000,000 paying 75-percent instead of 59-percent. Corporate taxes went down for small businesses and up for large ones.

By 1937, unemployment had dropped to 14-percent from the 25-percent peak. Wages, profits and production had finally returned to 1929 levels! The stimulus package was working. But then trouble appeared.

Friends of Wall Street in FDR’s cabinet urged spending cuts and a more balanced budget. What happened was the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was drastically cut and the Public Works Administration (PWA) nearly stalled. The economy dove into

a harsh recession, unemployment shot back up from 14-percent to 19-percent, and manufacturing dropped 37-percent. FDR retaliated with attacks on the monopolists, who were deemed the major cause of the depression and this sudden downturn in 1937.. So in 1937 FDR sent to Congress another large stimulus package to re-fund the WPA, the PWA and other relevant programs. It passed and the economy recovered to its early 1937 levels by the end of 1938.

Tony Boutin tells us that the Obama stimulus was a failure, which is false.

Most economists say about 2 to 3-million jobs were saved or created.. The truth of the matter is that the stimulus should have been bigger and the reason why we are climbing out of this hole so slowly is because the stimulus was too small and the GOP is deliberately obstructing economic success.

Like FDR, Obama has proposed a new stimulus/jobs bill that would target bridges, schools, and roads but the GOP is obstructing again. Top economists say another 2-million jobs could be created.

Tony says that 81-percent of Americans are not happy with the direction of the country. With a 20 to 30-percent approval for the Tea Party, around a 10 to 12-percent approval for the Congress, the numbers suggest that Americans are far more troubled by the obstructionists than they are President Obama. Another distortion of the facts that Mr Boutin uses is blaming Obama for the debt ceiling fiasco. In a post debt fight CNN poll on August 9, 2011, Republicans had a disapproval of 59-percent while the approval for Democrats increased. Americans blamed the House Tea Party.

FROM the S&P Press Release: “We lowered our long-term rating on the U.S. because we believe that the prolonged controversy over raising the statutory debt ceiling and the related fiscal policy debate indicate that further near-term progress containing the growth in public spending, especially on entitlements, or on reaching an agreement on raising revenues is less likely than we previously assumed and will remain a contentious and fitful process. ....Our lowering of the rating was prompted by our view on the rising public debt burden and our perception of greater policy making uncertainty,..”

A very important part of recovery, “raising revenues” (with appropriate spending cuts), is an impossibility as long as the GOP controls the House and that is why our rating was lowered. That’s the idea.

Thank you Laconia Police for blocking traffic around Vet Square To the editor, As I left the Veterans Day service today in Laconia, I was just so thankful the way the Laconia Police Department stepped in and for a short period, blocked off traffic at the square. For many years in the past it has just been so disruptive with all the cars

and loud trucks interfering with the service.

I am not sure what prompted this arrangement but I thank the LPD for the most efficient way it was handled.

BudCom member’s responsibilities go beyond their meetings To the editor, I have been and will continue to observe what direction this year’s Belmont Budget Committee will take on a number of issues that will face them during this session. I was disappointed to read about the controversy that arose at one of its very first meetings. (Three membership openings, three volunteers in attendance = a no brainer to me.) I truly hope that things do not continue to follow on a negative track in Belmont. That type of press leaves a stink on everyone in town government that can take years to finally shake free of.

(Flash back not so many years ago in Belmont history.)

This year’s committee will pick up where last year’s ended. Nothing has improved with the economy, Federal and state budget cuts will continue and will be the cause for some hard choices being made regarding local budget bottom lines.

I would respectfully remind this committee of what took place at last year’s Shaker School District meeting, when nearly one-quarter million dollars was moved from the floor into the proposed school budget. Other than me, NOT ONE other Budget Committee member (who even bothered to attend this meeting) had the

guts to stand up for all the time and deliberation that went into crafting and downsizing the municipal budget and speak against this radical floor proposal. Even when a tie vote was declared the first time around, nary one voice of reason from BC members was heard to protest such an unprecedented action from taking place.

(Point of interest; the motion won by only three votes — small margin/large impact.) And I fear more of the same this year, considering the number of Budget Committee members (0) who attended the yearly joint meeting called by the Shaker School Board a couple of months ago.

Finally, I would humbly submit to this year’s committee members that less than .25-cents of every total 201213 tax dollar impact will be the result of the municipal budget and the decisions YOU make during your deliberations this year. Being a responsible representative for the Belmont citizens and the property tax impact they incur goes beyond just attending your weekly Budget Committee meetings each Tuesday night.

Just thought I’d remind you of a few facts…

You can’t make people buy a product that’s too expensive or that doesn’t meet a need To the editor, Do you need any solar panels?

Our government thought we needed a lot of them.

The administration steered $535-million in taxpayer money to a “green jobs” factory called Solyndra. The question is if the market would not fund the company why was the government willing to obligate tax payer dollars to do so? Does that make sense to you?

In September Solyndra closed its doors. In doing so it put thousands of people out of work. Solyndra left us, you and me, stuck with the bill. We got to give the company $535-million and now we are going to pay the unemployment for their employees for a couple of years. This is just months after the lead donkey called them a “true engine of economic growth”. There’s a message in there some place. It may have to do with vision and perspicacity.

The administration has wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize a failing company owned by one of its biggest political fundraisers. It may be a coincidence that a large campaign contributor had a large interest in the company. But the question is: If the administration is so open and transparent why does congress have to subpoena information about what happened in this transaction?

The administration knew or should have known Solyndra was nearly bankrupt. They made a considered decision to put tax payer dollars at risk any way. Is that the kind of decision making that is going to turn this economy around? The first rule of holes is: When you’re in one stop digging.

Solyndra was in a hole. The market would not fund them. The market stopped digging. It wasn’t about good intentions. It was simply that this company could not bring their products to market at a competitive price. Experts and venture capitalist knew it was a failed enterprise. The questions we should have are: Why was throwing taxpayer dollars after a bad investment making things better?

Better for whom?

The administration plans to spend another billion dollars to subsidize more “green technology” prod-

ucts. Perhaps past performance is not a predictor of future performance. But if you have a better yard stick of the probability of success you should share.

People will buy what they want. You can’t make them buy a product that is too expensive or that does not meet a need… unless you are the federal government. Need a light bulb?

How are your tax dollars being spent? The administration wants to push another billion dollars in “green” subsidies. If they don’t work out who will be stuck with the bill? How much debt are we carrying?

Can you say $15,000,000,000,000?

We need a more effective approach to our critical problem of lack of jobs creation and to our economic problems. The administration chose to waste over a half-billion of our taxpayer dollars on what has turned out to be useless “green” technology. It sounds good in a press release to take care of mother earth. But when the effort creates no jobs and it costs a lot of money.

Money we do not have. Well, you get the idea.

The administration used its best judgment in attempting to bail out Solyndra. They were told it was a company in trouble. They made a conscious decision to use our money to try to rescue the solar panel maker. Instead of putting Americans back to work, or reducing our out-of-control federal deficit, our leadership chose to pour our tax money into bail a failed company.

Adding insult to the injury the company was heavily invested in by one of his biggest financial supporters’.

The question is: Does this pass the smell test?

Don’t we deserve better? Shouldn’t we know about what’s going on? Are we being asked to support a good man’s bad decision? How are we to learn from it and move on if all that is offered is stone walling?

It might not be fraud. It might not be waste. It might not be bad decision making… but if that is true why are we not hearing a clear and forthright presentation in explanation of the appearance? If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck; it probably is a duck. Vote early, vote often.

Just my honest opinion.

Socialism has poor record of raising people out of poverty; leaders often become tyrants To the editor, Has anyone else noticed the knee jerk reaction of Obama supporters when anyone refers to the president as a socialist. “Not so they chime, he is not” they say, and then deride those who say he is. I wonder why that is? Is it a crime or a sin to be a socialist?

Well not that I’ve ever been told so what’s the story and why do people keep saying he is? Well I guess for one thing it may be because so far all the programs he has enacted or tried to enact are socialist-style programs. He has advocated for unions, spreading the wealth and taxing the rich, all socialist-favored objectives. And to paraphrase Forest Gump’s momma, socialist is as socialist does. Hard to argue those points so just what is it that his supporters see that causes them to object to the description?

Perhaps because socialism has a very poor record

of raising people out of poverty all the while elevating it’s champions and leaders into tyrants. Supporters of that system, the occupy Wall Street crowd for example, can point to zero examples of success yet cling to the belief that it is far more moral and just. Really, how so? Does keeping people in a endless cycle of mediocrity and government dependence advance anything except the objectives of socialist political elites? Are these elites any more or less moral or amoral then bankers or CEO’s? Both are working to enhance and expand their own ends and objectives the question seems to me which advances the overall human condition more? Socialism reduces or seeks to reduce all people to the lowest common denominator while free enterprise raises some to great heights of wealth and fame but in so see next page

Laconia intersection improvements nearing reality

“Studio 23”

BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — This month will see significant improvements at two the busiest intersections in the city.

City Manager Scott Myers expects that the reconstruction of the intersection of North Main Street and Oak Street will be substantially complete by the end of November.

The base course of asphalt has been laid, but the snowfall interrupted and delayed the transfer of overhead utilities as well as work on sidewalks and curbing. Final paving and striping has yet to be scheduled.

The existing traffic signals will continue to operate until the arrival and installation of new poles, arms and signals late this month or early next. The improvements will enable northbound traffic on North Main Street to turn left on to Oak Street, a maneuver that is now prohibited. Earlier this month the City Council voted to specify that northbound

vehicles on North Main Street can make the lefthand turn on a solid green light as well as a green arrow after yielding to oncoming southbound traffic.

Meanwhile, after reviewing alternatives to the traffic signals at the intersection of Court Street/ Union Avenue and Main Street for several months, the Department of Public Works has chosen to install a video detection system to control the flow of vehicles at this major junction. The system employs a video camera that rotates 360 degrees, counting the number of vehicles in each direction and relaying the information to the signals, which then manage the flow of traffic according to its volume.

Director of Public Works Paul Moynihan said the system will enhance the flow of traffic, sparing motorists from having to wait unnecessarily for signals to change, which saves fuel while improving air quality by reducing idling time. In addition, the system eliminates the need for placing “magnetic loops,” in the pavement, which are costly to install and maintain and have trouble detecting motorcycles.

GUNSTOCK from page one daughter Sarah, who in 2006 became interested in a small, poorly-maintained building standing alongside Cherry Valley Road. Though she was only 10 at the time, Sarah would exhibit the focus and determination of a person many times her age as she spearheaded an effort to restore what the Andersons later learned to be the Gilford Outing Club’s old warming hut.

By researching the outing club’s hut, Anderson discovered a history that twined around the story of the creation of the Belknap Mountains Recreation Area. Once she got started, she found herself compelled to continue.

“It just blossomed into the wonderful story,” she said. “It was a wonderful story, it just wasn’t written down.” She set about to correct that oversight.

Anderson’s interest and growing expertise began to attract attention and she was soon named the

first president of the Gunstock Mountain Preservation Society. As the home school teacher for her two children and president of the newly-formed society, the research project was not the only task competing for Anderson’s time. However, she found the story rewarding to research, in part due to the many people eager to share stories and old photos.

“Wonderful, wonderful people I’ve met along the way, it’s been a wonderful journey.”

Anderson spent five years researching the history, going back to newspaper articles of the 1920s. She spent a year writing the 150-page book, which is illustrated with historic photographs.

The story of Gunstock, Anderson has found, is the story of a group of people who, through work and care, created and developed a publicly-owned institution that today is a treasure for local outdoor enthusiasts and draws visitors in droves to the see next page

from preceding page doing these people create industries, jobs, trade, and a better living standard for tens of millions of other human beings which socialism fails to do. What does socialism contribute to society?

Socialism demands and requires ever increasing entitlements and benefits to maintain itself. It does not produce wealth, it absorbs wealth. It does not develop industries, jobs or raise the overall standard of living of the majority of people. It leaches the life blood out of a nation and the pride and self esteem out of her people. Can that possibly be considered moral or just?

tered, and struggled again in fits and starts for thousands of years then in the early 1780’s a remarkable thing happened. The United States Of America happened and with it free enterprise. In our short history this nation has raised the issues of human rights to standards never before seen. Increased wealth and raised the standards of living not only in this country but throughout the world to levels not experienced before. Medicine and scientific advancements are the wonders of the world. So I just have to ask, why do progressive liberals demand that we throw all that away and retreat into meritocracy?

VET DAY from page one Brennan, a 2000 graduate of Laconia High School, said that he was in Iraq for the initial Iraqi Freedom operation in 2003 and also served tours of duty in the area in 2005 and 2006.

“2006 was a tough year for us. We lost 12 out of the 500 members of my unit,” said Brennan, who said that serving in the military is one of “the most honorable things in life.”

He said that only one percent of Americans are active duty military and that now that he has left the service he is part he is a part of a much larger group, the 29.4-million Americans who are veterans.

Last year, while Brennan was still in Iraq, his wife, Tracy, and two sons, Zachery and Brian, led the Pledge of Allegiance at the Veterans Day ceremony at Hesky Park. This year he joined them in leading the pledge.

The Hesky Park ceremony followed the traditional ceremony which saw a parade led by the color guard of the Griggs-Wyatt American Legion Post 33 proceed from preceding page region. “It showed what volunteers could do and the sense of the community these people had.”

Her book tells the story of the development of the infrastructure, including the first ski jump, the first tow rope and the first chair lift, how the lodge was constructed using lumber and stone harvested from the property. It also tells the story of key individuals, such as Fritzie Baer, Gary Allen and the aforementioned. Penny Pitou.

She also tells the story of one of the region’s oncecelebrated, now-forgotten heroes, Torger Tokle, for whom she dedicated her book. The magnetic Torker was a super star of the ski-jumping world until he was killed on the battlefields of World War II. “I didn’t want people to forget the names of people who worked so hard to bring a recreation area to the Lakes Region,” Anderson said. “It’s such a big part of people’s lives... It means a lot to me, and I don’t even ski,” she said.

The book was published on October 6, and immediately started selling. She was surprised that there were many people who had pre-ordered the book before it was available, and she said the enthusiastic response she’s seen since – many people purchase several at a time – further proves what she’s found about the place: there are hundreds for whom Gunstock, or the iterations that came before it, was the setting for dear memories.

Copies of the book can be purchased at the Historic Belknap Mill, Piche’s Ski and Sports, Annie’s Book Stop, the Gunstock Inn, the retail shop at Gunstock Mountain Resort and at the New England Ski Museum in Franconia.

Researching and writing the book, she said, “has been a wonderful experience... You come over here and everyone’s smiling. It seems throughout history, that’s the theme for Gunstock.”

Forrester read a letter from her father, who had lied about his age in order to get into the military during the Korean War, which was dated January 19, 1951 and in which he wrote “I just got my Christmas present from Uncle Sam. A new machine gun.”

She told the veterans that “America owes you a debt of gratitude, as does the whole world, for what you have done in defending freedom.’’

OCCUPY from page 2 ings before officers raided the encampment before dawn on Oct. 25 with tear gas and bean bags projectiles before arresting 85 people. A day later, Quan allowed protesters to reclaim the disbanded site and the camp has grown substantially since then.

City Council President Larry Reid said outside City Hall on Friday that the shooting was further proof the tents must come down. He was confronted by a protester who said he wouldn’t be in office much longer.

“You didn’t elect me,” Reid snapped back. “You probably ain’t even registered to vote!”

Reid said the encampment has been a major setback for the area while attracting sex offenders, mentally ill and homeless people, and anarchists.

“This is no longer about Occupy Wall Street,” he said. “This is about occupying Oakland and extracting whatever you can get out of Oakland by holding our city hostage.”

The Oakland shooting occurred the same day a 35-year-old military veteran apparently shot himself to death in a tent at a Burlington, Vt., Occupy encampment.

On Friday, a man was found dead inside a tent at the Occupy Salt Lake City encampment, from what police said was a combination of drug use and carbon monoxide.

Brouillard filed suit in Belknap County Superior Court saying, among other things, that he has been unable to move forward because of an unreached inter-municipal water agreement between Belmont and Laconia that been in negotiation for three or four years.

In his request to the Planning Board, Brouillard said the city had a change at the water superintendents level and the new one was unaware that the city had given the agreement to a local attorney for negotiations with Belmont.

The local attorney had said he didn’t realize the settlement agreement was an urgent matter and Brouillard said in his suit that he shouldn’t be penalized for the city’s lack of urgency.

His suit also said he has spent nearly $1 million for planning, approvals and acquisition costs and that changes in the city’s ordinances since he got the initial approval in 2005 and final approval in 2007 would make the development impractical.

Minutes of the Belmont Planning Board indicate a similar request for an extension from Brouillard was tabled, likely awaiting the results of the Laconia decision.

BARNSTEAD — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2011 property tax rate at $23.43 per $1,000 of assessed value, an increase of $1.07, or 4.8-percent.

The total amount to be raised by property taxes rose 4.8-percent, from $10,197,097 to $10,684,430.

The total assessed valuation fell by $239,085, from $464,113,118 to $463,874,033.

The town portion of the tax rate increased $0.22 to $5.11, the local local school portion $0.91 to $14.30, and the state school portion $0.02 to $2.61 while the county portion decreased $0.08 to $1.41.

APPOINT from page one Gammon has also challenged the commission’s contract with CenterPlate (formerly the Boston Culinary Group) to provide food services at the resort.

He notes that the statute authorizing the commission to enter contracts limits the term of its agreements to five years without the express approval of the county convention. However, he claims that the four-year contract with the CenterPlate, which was agreed in 2007, includes a clause providing for its automatic renewal after four years. Furthermore, Gammon believes that CenterPlate should pay “real and personal property taxes, just as it does accord-

ing to its contract with the state to provide services at Cannon Mountain.

Morgenstern, who served on the sub-committee that awarded the original contract to CenterPlate, discounted Gammon’s concerns. He said that when he initially raised them, the commission referred the questions to its attorney, who found no flaws with the contract. Acknowledging that the contract could be renewed, Morgenstern stressed that the commission was not bound to renew it but was authorized to revoke it. He said that Centerplate has improved the food services significantly. see next page

LACONIA — The Planning Department and a local attorney and land developer have reached an agreement regarding an extension of time needed to develop a piece of property off Mile Hill Road. A portion of the tract is in Belmont.

Philip Brouillard is the principal owner of Mountain Lake Village — an 81-unit development with 63 of its proposed lots in Laconia and 18 in Belmont.

The agreement, okayed by Belknap County Judge James O’Neill, stipulates that since Brouillard got his final approval for the project on April 9, 2007 then state laws allow him six years to show substantial development — or until 2013.

The Laconia Planning Board denied Brouillard a one-year extension to complete the project in July, saying he had not substantially met two of the conditions of his site plan approval — namely that he had not shown a good faith effort to continue the projects and that new zoning regulations regarding steep slopes, cluster, wetlands and impact fees had been passed by the city since his proposal was first approved.

STOCKS from page 2 percent. That’s a sign bond investors think Italy will succeed in managing its massive debt load. On Wednesday the yield soared as high as 7.13 percent.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 259.89 points, or 2.2 percent, to 12,153.68. It closed below 12,000 the previous two days. Friday’s rally pushed the Dow up 1.4 percent for the week.

Together with a 112-point gain the day before, the Dow has now made up most of the 389-point plunge it took on Wednesday. That sell-off was triggered by the spike in Italy’s borrowing costs and a breakdown in talks to name a new prime minister in Greece. from preceding page Morgenstern said that investments in more efficient snowmaking and new lifts as well as the Aerial Treetop Adventures and most recently the zipline have increased revenues by 50-percent since he joined the commission.

In Greece, too, there was good news for the markets Friday. Lucas Papademos, a former central banker, was sworn in as interim prime minister. Lucas Papademos took over a coalition government after a two-week political crisis that jeopardized the country’s ability to continue receiving emergency loans.

Plenty of uncertainty still hangs over financial markets. Brian Gendreau, senior investment strategist at Cetera Financial Group, noted that the VIX index is still above 30, a sign that traders expect stocks to stay volatile.

Gendreau expects the S&P 500 to trade in a range of 1,200 to 1,275 until Europe’s debt crisis gets closer to resolution and the U.S. Congress signs off on a larger debt-cutting plan. A supercommittee in Congress has until Nov. 23 to agree on a deficit-reduction package of at least $1.2 trillion over a decade.

“We still don’t have a real resolution on either side of the Atlantic,” Gendreau said.

The S&P 500 rose 24.16, or 1.9 percent, to 1,263.85.

Only 13 of the 500 stocks in the S&P fell.

3 indicted for January invasion of Shore Drive home LACONIA — Three local people were indicted last week by a Belknap County grand jury for their alleged roles in a January home invasion and burglary on Shore Drive.

Ryann Johnson, 30, of 96 Summer St., Kenneth J. Samson, 43, of 157 Highland St. #3, and Michael Ridgeway, 41, of Valley Street in Manchester face a variety of charges regarding the burglary and robbery on January 16.

According to the indictments and previous accounts of the Shore Drive robbery, Johnson told police she drove Ridgeway and Samson to Shore Drive in a Chevy Tahoe and watched from a distance while one of the two punched a man in the face and then entered the home.

Johnson is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, accomplice to burglary, and conspiracy with commit burglary.

Samson was charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, burglary, and

conspiracy to commit burglary. According to the indictments, Samson allegedly kicked open the door to the Shore Drive home.

Ridgeway was also charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, burglary, and conspiracy to commit burglary.

Johnson, who was recently arrested by Laconia Police and charged with possession of counterfeit money and conspiracy to commit robbery, allegedly told Laconia Police detective about her knowledge of the Shore Drive home invasion during the time he was questioning her about the fake money.

In a seemingly unrelated event, Johnson was also indicted for a November 2010 forgery in which she allegedly forged a name on to a check and for accomplice to burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary for allegedly driving two men to Carriage Road in Gilford in September of 2010 where the men allegedly burglarized a home.

MAYOR from page 2 He said getting stories published by the Deseret News, KSL-TV’s website and a community weekly was as easy as setting up a Gmail account and Facebook page. He communicated with editors by email and phone, never showing his face.

As an unpaid writer for several months earlier this year, the so-called Burwash even quoted himself as mayor in some stories. In one published piece, he wrote about the opening of a Buddhist Temple in his Salt Lake City suburb, quoting himself as saying, “We applaud any time a group builds a place to celebrate peace and to encourage people to live better lives.”

“I was an easy source,” he quipped Friday.

He even let his sister write one story under his alias. But he maintains all the stories were “100 percent factually correct” — except for the byline, of course.

Executives at the Deseret News, one of Salt Lake City’s two daily newspapers, were not amused.

“While we appreciate that Mayor Winder would, of his own accord, quit writing under the assumed name and then detail the error to us, we remain highly concerned that someone would purposely misrepresent himself,” Clark Gilbert, president and CEO of the Deseret News and Deseret Digital

— WORSHIP SERVICES —

HOUSE from page one in the House and 19-5 edge in the Senate. They need 239 votes for passage in the House and 15 in the Senate. But O’Brien and Bragdon believe they need the popular Democrat’s support to win voter approval at the ballot box.

The House and Senate have passed their own amendments, but neither has won the three-fifths vote of both chambers needed to be placed on the November 2012 ballot. All three proposals give more control over school aid to lawmakers, but have key wording differences.

O’Brien said then that he was disappointed to first read about Lynch’s proposed amendment in the media, calling it “the action of a lame duck governor who is more interested in the appearance of a legacy than actually solving the problem that he pledged to fix when he first ran in 2004.” Lynch is not seeking re-election and will leave office when his term ends in early 2013.

On Tuesday, O’Brien wrote Lynch inviting him to see next page Media, told the newspaper. “We deeply regret that Mayor Winder would do this.”

Gilbert didn’t return messages left Friday by The Associated Press.

The Deseret News said it has published about 5,500 articles by 2,000 contributors in the past year.

The paper began accepting contributions after cutting its newsroom staff and consolidating operations with affiliated television and radio stations.

That’s when Winder saw an opportunity and hatched the idea of writing his own news stories.

He complained crime stories made up 56 percent of the coverage of West Valley City by the Desert News over three months earlier this year.

from preceding page address the House on Nov. 30 about his proposal, but Lynch declined and said there was no need to bring the House back this fall. Lynch said he would address the issue in his state-of-the-state address in January.

Bragdon has said repeatedly he will not bring the Senate back until January, but O’Brien decided to move ahead and hold a session anyway and again criticized Lynch.

“He came into office seven years ago saying he would solve the education funding problem. This is his last chance to tell the House in a debate why his amendment does that,” O’Brien said in a statement Thursday.

Norelli said O’Brien has given no good reason why the issue can’t wait until January.

O’Brien said he wanted to break the logjam so an amendment can be placed on the November 2012 ballot.

But the back-and-forth shows how far apart O’Brien and Lynch are philosophically on a constitutional change.

Lynch’s amendment states that the Legislature shall have the authority and responsibility to define reasonable school education standards, hold them accountable for meeting the standards and mitigate local disparities in their financial ability to provide an adequate education. It also would give lawmakers full discretion to determine aid amounts and its distribution.

The state Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in 1997 requiring New Hampshire to provide all public school children with an adequate education. After that ruling, the state began providing a base amount per pupil to all communities, funded through state taxes and a new state property tax.

New Hampshire lawmakers have tried and failed dozens of times over the years to nullify the ruling.

The Supreme Court’s rulings require the state to pay the full cost of an adequate education, which means every community gets some aid. The rulings do not prohibit the state from sending additional aid to communities, but Lynch and other critics say the state has little extra money to spare after complying

with the court mandate to pay for adequacy.

Lynch says his amendment would allow the state to target more aid while maintaining court review if the state fails to reasonably meet its responsibilities.

If the amendment is placed on the ballot, twothirds over voters would need to pass it for the

change to take effect.

The legislative proposals also give the Legislature discretion to define education standards, hold schools accountable and to mitigate local disparities, but they give more control to lawmakers than Lynch proposes doing.

PENN STATE from page 2 Patriot-News reported that he has told players by phone that he was in a secluded location outside State College.

New president Rod Erickson plans to appoint an ethics officer, and said the school will review all standards, policies and programs to ensure they meet “not only the law, but Penn State’s standard.”

“I know we can do this. We are resilient; we are a university that will rebuild the trust and confidence that so many people have had in us for so many years,” said Erickson, formerly the provost.

Paterno’s son, Scott, meanwhile, released a statement saying his father had hired Wick Sollers, a highprofile criminal attorney.

While not the subject of any criminal investigation, the winningest coach in major college football wants “the truth to be uncovered and he will work with his lawyers to that end,” Scott Paterno said.

“My father is experiencing a range of powerful emotions. He is absolutely distraught over what happened to the children and their families. He also wants very much to speak publicly and answer questions,” Scott Paterno said. “At this stage, however, he has no choice but to be patient and defer to the legal process.”

Students planned a candlelight vigil Friday night in front of the administration building to show support for the boys who were allegedly abused, and several groups are raising money for victims of sexual abuse, getting more than $165,000 so far.

Rather than the traditional “white out” for Saturday’s game, fans were asked to wear blue — the color associated with child abuse awareness. Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania is selling T-shirts with a

blue ribbon and the slogan, “Stop Child Abuse, Blue Out Nebraska.”

“It’s a really complex set of emotions on campus,” Sarah Knutson, a junior from Atlantic City, N.J., said as she manned a bake sale in front of The Corner, the popular restaurant across the street from the university gates. Money from sales of the homemade cookies, brownies and cupcakes with blue icing will go to Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania.

“We’re trying to get past it. But sometimes you can’t get past things,” Knutson said. “You have to work through them.”

Sandusky, Paterno’s former assistant and onetime heir apparent, has been charged with molesting eight boys over 15 years, with several of the alleged incidents occurring on Penn State property. Paterno and Spanier were fired because trustees felt they did not do enough to alert law enforcement authorities after an alleged assault in March 2002.

McQueary, a graduate assistant at the time, told the grand jury that he saw Sandusky sodomizing a boy of about 10 in the showers at the Penn State football building. McQueary did not go to police but later told Paterno, athletic director Tim Curley and university vice president Gary Schultz, although it is not clear how detailed his description was.

Schultz, in turn, notified Spanier.

Curley and Schultz have been charged with perjury and failure to report the incident to authorities, as required by state law. They have maintained their innocence, as has Sandusky.

In announcing McQueary was placed on administrative leave, Erickson said that it had become clear the assistant coach “could not function in this role under these circumstances.”

Daniel J. Domin, 85

DUNBARTON, NH — On the quiet, warm, and sunny afternoon of Wednesday, November 9th, 2011, Daniel Joseph Domin, 85, peacefully and gently, as was his nature, completed his memorable life on this earth. He has joined his Lord and Savior and his beloved wife of 62 years, Annie.

Daniel was born and raised in Chicago. He earned a B.S. degree in accounting from Roosevelt University, Chicago. He honorably served our country in the U.S. Army Air Corps stationed in post war Germany.

He was a committed follower of Jesus Christ and dedicated husband and father. In addition, he was an honest, successful, and hard-working businessman as well as a faithful church leader. Daniel was profoundly loved and respected and thus will be missed by many church friends. Besides Illinois, previous residences included Kentucky and Florida.

In 2006, he moved to Dunbarton, where he became a

loyal member and active supporter of the First Presbyterian Church of Concord (PCA).

Family members celebrating his life are three sons, two brothers, eight grandchildren, and four great grandchildren.

A graveside service will commence at 1pm on Monday, November 14th at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, Boscawen, NH. His life will be remembered and celebrated on November 30th at First Presbyterian Church of Concord (PCA).

Plymouth’s Hometown Holiday celebration is Dec. 2-4 PLYMOUTH — Plymouth’s 2011 Hometown Holiday Celebration and Parade, sponsored by the Plymouth Rotary Club, will be held Dec. 2-4.

On Friday, PSU’s operating staff begins its 4th Annual Festival of Trees, with decorated trees on display for viewing at the Senior Center. For Festival of Trees information, call Brenda Clayton at 5352847 or e-mail bclayton@plymouth.edu.

This year, “Shop Local” businesses are sponsoring a month-long “Extravaganza” and a special evening with free child-care at the Senior center Friday, Dec 2.

The centerpiece of the celebration is the parade at 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. People come early to meet their neighbors, enjoy a Christmas music sing-a-long, look at the lights, and decorate cookies with the PSU.

After the parade, Santa will visit with the kids at the Senior Center. For the third year, Alex Ray and the Rotarians will be hosting a “Chill-buster” Bonfire and Barbeque on Green Street across from the Senior Center. The event will close with fireworks.

On Sunday, back by popular demand, skate for free with Santa at the new PSU ice arena from 1-3 p.m. Santa will be on the ice for visiting and for free photographs. Free skates are available.

There’s still time to register your business or organization to have an entry in the parade.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

No, the water’s low because the tide’s out. . .

As of November 1, 2011 there were 1277 residential homes on the market in the communities in this Lakes Region real estate market report.

The average asking price came in at $516,128 with a median price point of $269,900. Last November there were 100 fewer homes on the market at an average asking price of $559,403 and a median of $284,450. Seems like all the trends are heading in the wrong direction including the weather. The current home inventory represents a 20.5 month supply of property to sell. That’s a lot of work, but maybe it will help keep us warm this winter…

Being a real estate agent means that buyers rely on you for all sorts of important information about homes and our area in general. Buyers from outside of N.H. often have some real misconceptions about country living here in the Lakes Region.

I find that I get asked the same questions every year. I end up answering “no” a lot but I also like to have some fun with the “flatlanders.” Here are some stock answers to the obvious questions: No, it doesn’t usually snow this much in October.

No, they don’t plow the roads in the winter. We stay home when its snows, until spring.

No, you can’t boat from Lake Winnisquam and Lake Winnipesaukee, unless you go really fast.

No, there are no old waterfront cottages on Winnipesaukee for around $100,000… no matter what the condition.

No, that cottage is on an island. That’s why it’s so cheap…

No, there is no such thing as cheap waterfront land.

No, you can’t just put a mobile home anywhere.

No, this tax bill is not an error.

No, the condo fee does not cover your fuel and electric bills.

No, there is no public sewer here. We have outhouses.

No, they probably never will pave this road.

No, we never lose power…for more than a month or so.

No, this really is the center of town.

No, traffic is always like this in Meredith, at least on the week-ends.

No, there is no shorter way to Wolfeboro until the tunnel is finished.

No, I don’t know where you are. Do you know how many white homes there are on the lake?

No, bears will run the other way. Usually.

You can also receive these market reports by email. Just log onto my blog at www.lakesregionrealestatenews.com to sign up. Data was compiled as of 11/1/11 using the Northern New England Real Estate MLS System.

Tickets available for Streetcar’s ‘Miracle Worker’ LACONIA — Tickets are now on sale for The Streetcar Company’s upcoming presentation of William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker.”

The award winning story of Annie Sullivan’s struggle to teach the blind and deaf Helen Keller how to communicate will be presented at Laconia High School on December 2-3 at 7 p.m. and on December 4 at 1 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at Greenlaw’s Music in Downtown Laconia and are priced at $10 each but with advance sale of four or more, the price will be $8 apiece. All tickets at the door will be $10.

Gibson’s play has been produced countless times around the country since it first appearance on Broadway in 1959. A byproduct of the author’s 1957 teleplay , the first Broadway presentation starred Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke. Both would go on to play the same roles in the 1962 film and garner Academy Awards for their performances. Streetcar’s cast has been rehearsing since September and along with director J. Alward look forward to presenting this moving classic to area audiences.

Premiere performance of ‘The Watercress ‘by Paul Mroczka at Plymouth State University Nov. 17-20 PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at PSU will present the premiere production of The Watercress, a drama about Fall River, Mass. sisters Lizzie and Emma Borden by Professor of Theatre Paul Mroczka, November 17–20 at the Silver Center for the Arts.

A former National Endowment for the Arts fellow in playwriting, Mroczka has also garnered a Shubert Fellowship and the Jason Miller Award, and has received grants from the New Hampshire Council for the Humanities. His plays have been performed at New York’s La MaMa La Galleria, Nat Horne and Manhattan Punchline Theatres, among others. He has directed for the North Country Center for the Arts, the Pontine Movement Theatre, the Theatre of Newburyport and the Palace Theatre in Manchester.

Set in 1904, 12 years after the murders of Andrew and Abbie Borden in Fall River, Lizzie Borden (who had been acquitted of the murders) and her sister, Emma, live in the grandest house in town. After inheriting hundred of thousands of dollars following the deaths of their parents, they are also two of Fall River’s wealthiest inhabitants.

Although they love one another, Emma and Lizzie are like night and day. Lizzie lives an ostentatious lifestyle while her conservative sister tries to control her. But when Lizzie meets the love of her life, her relationship with Emma is changed forever.

PSU faculty member Sharon R. Paquette is direct-

ing the production. She says, “s an artist and a student of life, I am intrigued by how society treats those who have been accused of transgressing, and those who have actually transgressed. I am also intrigued by how we, as humans, learn to live with ourselves if we ‘fit’ outside of society’s norms. Why do we continue to try people after they have been acquitted or served their time?”

Paquette is an interdisciplinary artist from Franklin. She earned an MEd at Plymouth State University and an MFA from Goddard College. She has worked at New England College, Plymouth State University, The Barnstormers, the Community Players of Concord and various venues across New Hampshire. She also taught and ran a theatre company at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men for 10 years and has studied at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, Mass.

Performances of The Watercress are Nov. 17–19 at 8 p.m., Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. and Nov. 20 at 3 p.m. in the Studio Theatre at the Silver Center. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869. Tickets are also available online. A convenience fee applies.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis dicament.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you like to travel, you can sometimes get more enjoyment within a few miles of home. You’ll see beautiful scenery that few people in the world know about.

That’s the fine part about being a “local” and not a visitor.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Once you get on a certain path, you’ll find it hard to quit until you’ve reached a desired destination. However, to keep your energy up, you should make it a point to take breaks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There’s someone who has the power to grant you the kind of perks you desire.

With a little bit of coaxing, you may get this person to give you more attention or another commodity that is worth as much to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Sometimes you just get a whim, and you have to follow it. Anyone who tries to reason this out or figure out why you do what you do is being foolish. The wise friend will simply go along for the fun.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No one knows the parameters of your inner strength. Not even you. So waste no time in judging what you can or can’t do. Focus strictly on what you want, and assume that if it’s at all possible, you’ll be the one to make it happen.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 12). This is one of your most creative years to date. Furthermore, you really have the tenacity to follow through with your ideas until you see tangible results. There will be a windfall in November. You’ll have an improved work set-up in January. You’ll nurture a special relationship in February. Cancer and Leo people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 29, 41 and 6.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You could talk a bee out of his hive. Your words are like honey, and your deeds are even sweeter. Use your powers of persuasion for the good of you and your loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You wish that a miracle would happen, and maybe it will. Keep on believing. More importantly, know precisely, and think constantly about the evidence you will see that will indicate this miracle has occurred.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re an expert when it comes to knowing what doesn’t make you happy. Flip it around in your mind so that you are concentrating exclusively on what will make you happy, and you’ll attract favorable results.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Selfediting can limit your creativity and enjoyment. It also can lead you to make the appropriate choices that will increase your social status and opportunities. Use moderation to walk the fine line necessary to succeed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The big steps seem unreasonable or impossible, so focus on the small ones. You may be tired from the get-go, but you’ll get your energy back when you succeed in little ways throughout the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been known to stick to a goal even after you’ve been advised that you’re not likely to succeed at it. You won’t, however, stick with a strategy that is clearly not working. You’ll reassess and make a new plan.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have the motivation to think through a problem because you’re too occupied with noticing all of the wonderful opportunities that are also present in this pre-

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 12, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 12, the 316th day of 2011. There are 49 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 12, 2001, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 headed to the Dominican Republic, crashed after takeoff from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 people on board and five people on the ground. (Investigators later determined that part of the tail assembly of the jetliner had fallen off, and blamed pilot error, inadequate pilot training and overly sensitive rudder controls.)

On this date: In 1815, American suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in Johnstown, N.Y. In 1927, Josef Stalin became the undisputed ruler of the Soviet Union as Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party.

In 1936, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in Washington, D.C., giving the green light to traffic.

In 1942, the World War II naval Battle of Guadalcanal began.

In 1948, former Japanese premier Hideki Tojo and several other World War II Japanese leaders were sentenced to death by a war crimes tribunal.

In 1982, Yuri V. Andropov was elected to succeed the late Leonid I. Brezhnev as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee.

In 1990, Japanese Emperor Akihito formally assumed the Chrysanthemum Throne.

In 1996, a Saudi Boeing 747 jetliner collided shortly after takeoff from New Delhi, India, with a Kazak Ilyushin-76 cargo plane, killing 349 people.

One year ago: An old Chinese vase that had been tucked away unnoticed for years in a suburban London home was sold at auction for a record $83 million, scooped up by a Chinese buyer.

Today’s Birthdays: Rhythm-and-blues singer Ruby Nash Curtis is 72. Actor-playwright Wallace Shawn is 68. Singer Brian Hyland is 68. Rhythm-and-blues singer Jimmy Hayes is 68. Singer-songwriter Neil Young is 66. Rock musician Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (Blue Oyster Cult) is 64. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., is 62. Country/gospel singer Barbara Fairchild is 61.

Actress Megan Mullally is 53. Actor Vincent Irizarry is 52. Olympic gold medal gymnast Nadia Comaneci is 50. Actor Sam Lloyd is 48. Rock musician David Ellefson is 47.

Actress Lourdes Benedicto is 37. Actress Tamala Jones is 37. Actress Angela Watson is 37. Singer Tevin Campbell is 35. Actress Ashley Williams is 33. Actress Cote de Pablo is 32. Actor Ryan Gosling is 31. Contemporary Christian musician Chris Huffman is 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I work in a small office with 10 people. We all work on commission. The problem is the boss’s nephew.

“Randy” does as little as possible to get by and is a total leech.

I know he doesn’t make much on commission, because he rarely gets any work done. He’s too busy on the Internet.

Here’s the problem: We all bring snacks to leave in the kitchen. Randy eats everything. But if you ask him to contribute a dollar, he claims not to have any money. He looks like he’s starving, yet he manages to buy cigarettes and alcohol and will bum off of anyone for his lunch.

I’m tired of buying snack food only to have it disappear. I have told Randy that if he doesn’t contribute to the pantry, he shouldn’t eat. How can I firmly get this across to him? -- Gloria Dear Gloria: You can’t get this across to Randy because he will ignore you. His approach to life is to get something for nothing. Those of you who contribute to the snacks should keep them under lock and key, or have them at your desks so you can control who gets them.

Dear Annie: My brother and his wife have two preteen children. My sister-in-law is a rude, opinionated, controlling, unlikable woman. She seems to take pleasure in making nasty comments to shock people, and she belittles my brother in front of others. My brother is a nice man, but unfortunately, he’s meek and allows his wife to handle everything, including the childrearing.

The children have never had any manners. They never say “please” or “thank you,” nor do they say hello to us or greet visitors. I realize they may be shy, but they won’t respond when asked a question, even by a waiter who wants to know what they are ordering. They glare instead. If we ask them to introduce their friends to us, they say, “No, I don’t want to.”

Because my sister-in-law is always hovering, my siblings

and I don’t feel it is appropriate to correct them. We don’t want to create a problem. We also won’t say anything to my brother because he will tell his wife, who would become angry.

We all realize that a lack of manners is quite common these days, and that most parents do not want others telling them how to raise their kids. Should we look the other way and watch the children grow up to be disagreeable adults like their mother? Should we have a talk with our brother? Can I say, “Johnny, why haven’t you said hello to Aunt Jane?” -Aunt Jane Dear Jane: It’s OK to say, “Johnny, I’d love it if you said hello to your Aunt Jane.” Beyond that, we strongly recommend you keep quiet. Not only will your sister-in-law resent your comments, but the kids will not respond well, either. When they are a bit older, you can stop giving them presents if they won’t acknowledge them and say “thank you.” But we hope you realize that whether they grow up to have their mother’s personality has little to do with their current manners.

Dear Annie: I’m writing in regard to the letter from “Losing My Family,” the 16-year-old who is having a hard time with his mother. He is dealing with some teen issues, but it is not normal for Mom to yell at him for grades in the high 90s.

Unfortunately, too many children have to deal with divorced parents who say bad things about the other parent.

That mother sounds as if she is taking all of her anger out on her son. They both could benefit from counseling. But if Mom isn’t interested, “Losing” should see someone, even if it’s only the school counselor, as you recommended.

I hope things get better for him. I do understand. I have two daughters and have been divorced and remarried. -- A Mom in Texas

Red Sox need new closer; Papelbon signs 4-year deal with Phillies BOSTON (AP) — Torey Lovullo arrived at Fenway Park on Friday morning to interview for the job as Red Sox manager. By the time he was done, the team was looking for a new closer.

Jonathan Papelbon, who finished off the 2007 World Series victory, agreed to a four-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said he wanted Papelbon back, but it was too early in the offseason to commit to a big-money, four-year contract. Papelbon’s deal was the largest ever for a reliever — $50 million, the person told the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been announced and is subject to Papelbon passing a physical.

“I have a great admiration for Pap. We’d like to have him back on the team still,” Cherington told

reporters at Fenway Park. “It’s not something that matched up with what Pap is looking for. Because of that, we never made a formal offer.”

Papelbon, who will be 30 next season, saved 219 games over seven seasons with the Red Sox, including 31 this year. But he was on the mound — one strike away from a victory — when the team blew a lead in the season finale against the Baltimore Orioles; Boston finished one game behind Tampa Bay in the AL wild-card race.

Papelbon also blew a save in the clincher of Boston’s 2009 playoff series against the Los Angeles Angels.

But those failures were the exceptions in a steady career in which Papelbon converted 88.3 percent of his save opportunities and posted a 23-19 record and a 2.33 ERA in 396 appearances. He was paid $12 million last year, but he repeatedly declined to

PERRY & CAIN from page 3 “He won’t embarrass you,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Romney supporter, tells Republican lawmakers still on the fence.

Other candidates are trying to make a similar point.

“We can’t have any surprises with our candidate,” Rep. Michele Bachmann says, in a Web ad released

by Gingrich’s new political action committee. As she speaks, an image of Cain shatters.

Crisis management is a distinct presidential fitness test, watched intently by influential politicos looking to support a campaign that might succeed.

It can be a key indicator of who’s best suited to compete for the voters’ trust and enthusiasm in a perpetual news cycle against the best strategists and communicators around. And it offers a hint of how the hopefuls might, as president, make snap judg-

ments on sober matters in the White House.

“The crisis creates, really, a stage,” said Daniel Diermeier, a professor and expert on reputation management at Northwestern University. “All eyes are on the leader, and how they conduct themselves leaves a very long and profound impression on the audience.”

Perry’s stumble was hard to watch, an awkward 54 seconds that he has since noted felt like hours.

“The third agency of government I would do away with — the Education, the Commerce. And let’s see.

I can’t. The third one, I can’t,” Perry said. “Oops.”

The response in cyberspace was swift and brutal, many saying the slow-motion flub suggests Perry isn’t, after all, ready for national politics.

The candidate made a beeline for the press room to own up and vow to press on: “I’m glad I had my boots on because I really stepped in it tonight.”

negotiate on a long-term deal, saying he wanted to test the free agent market.

“Pap has worked extremely hard to put himself in this position,” Cherington said. “We knew he was going to be in demand, and we knew teams that were in position to win would have interest in him, and certainly Philly is one of them.”

Papelbon’s departure probably left the Red Sox closing job in the hands of Daniel Bard, who had been outstanding as a setup man before falling apart down the stretch as the team went 7-20 in September. Bard finished with a 2-9 record and 3.33 ERA that included an 0-4 record and 10.64 ERA in September.

“I think Daniel will embrace more responsibility,” Cherington said. “Daniel’s one of the most prepared and conscientious pitchers in Major League Baseball.”

Post-gaffe, Perry has labored to show he’s in on the joke and climbing the presidential campaign learning curve.

“Write us to let us know what federal agency you would most like to forget,” the Perry team invited supporters, directing them to a website addressed “forgetmenot.”

The humor tactic is risky, though, because the jokes only change the subject from more weighty underlying concerns.

“The basic question is about competence. The humor doesn’t address it,” Diermeier said. “It’s still out there.”

As the media spotlight turned to Perry, Cain pressed on toward Iowa. The accusations against Cain by four women — two of whom received financial settlements from the National Restaurant Association where those two worked and Cain was the president — so far are a question of his word against theirs. They are wavering on whether to have a news conference, according to the lawyer for Karen Kraushaar, one of Sales & Park them.

So Cain could have Used Mansion little to lose by stick16 x 72 Single Wide - 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms. A-12 ing to his denials and $13,900 moving on.

His combative new lawyer, Lin Wood, could pave the way to stability for a candidate who has struggled with consistency as he responded to the breaking story of harassment allegations. Wood, based in Office: (603) 267-8182 • Fax: (603) 267-6621 Atlanta, has repreRoute 140E, 3 miles on right from Exit 20, off I-93. sented the family of Jon Email: pinegardens@myfairpoint.net Benet Ramsey and the man wrongly accused of being the Atlanta Olympic park bomber. And he’s warning any other women who might come forward with allegations against Cain that they would be aggressively scrutinized.

At the same time, the Cain camp seems to be making efforts to shore up support among women, including rolling out the endorsement of a prominent Republican female state lawmaker in his home state of Georgia, Renee Unterman.

The CBS News poll said Cain’s support among Republican women has dropped since late October, from 28 percent then to 15 percent now.
