Ward 1 has history of close races

Doyle versus Condodemetraky this time around LACONIA — Among the city’s six wards, none has been the scene of more closely run city council races or more frequent changes in representation than Ward 1, where the last five elections have been contested and five different councilors have served since 2001. With incumbent Ava Doyle facing a challenge from Mark Condodemetraky on Tuesday, this year is see WARD 1 page 11

TILTON — What started as a war ended in a love fest last night when selectmen and a new business owner in town agreed to use pretty signs as the temporary solution for a parking problem. The signs will serve to both prevent people from parking directly in front of the new business while the N.H. Department of Transportation weighs in on a matter that building owner Jim Crosley thought was solved five years ago.

LACONIA — After deliberating for about two hours, a Superior Court jury yesterday found a former Belmont man guilty of resisting arrest for his actions the night a SWAT team came to arrest him at his girlfriend’s Belmont home. On Tuesday, Belknap County Presiding Judge James O’Neill dropped two felony charges against Christopher Kelly, 34, saying Belknap County Prosecutor Melissa Guldbrandsen had not presented enough evidence to let a jury decide if he was guilty of criminal restraint and unlawful possession of a weapon.

misdemeanor is 12 months in the Belknap County House of Corrections and O’Neill sentenced Kelly to serve all of it and to pay a $2,000 fine plus a $480 surcharge. At issue, according to Kelly’s lawyer Mark Sisti, is whether or not Kelly has already served his time in jail. Kelly was arrested on Sept. 3, 2010 by the Belknap County Special Operations Group after a 5-hour standoff on a parole violation for failing to report to his parole officer during the months of January through March of 2010 and not getting the drug and anger management treatment ordered by the court after an 2003 drug conviction. At that time, he was also charged with see KELLY page 9

New census data paint a stark portrait of the nation’s haves and have-nots at a time when unemployment remains persistently high. It comes a week before the government releases first-ever economic data that will show more Hispanics, elderly and working-age poor have fallen into poverty. In all, the numbers underscore the breadth and scope by which the downturn has reached further into mainstream America. “There now really is no unaffected group, except maybe the very top income earners,” said Robert Moffitt, a professor of economics at Johns Hopkins University. “Recessions are supposed to be temporary, and when it’s over, everything returns to where it was before. But the worry now is that the downturn — which will end eventually — will have longlasting effects on families who lose jobs, become worse off and can’t recover.” Traditional inner-city black ghettos are thinning out and changing, drawing in impoverished Hispanics who have lowwage jobs or are unemployed. see POVERTY page 6

of political brinkmanship in Athens led Prime Minister George Papandreou to abandon his explosive plan to put a European rescue deal to a referendum. The dramatic developments overshadowed the G20 summit of world leaders in the French resort of Cannes, where President Barack Obama implored European leaders to swiftly work out a eurozone plan to deal with the continent’s crisis, which threatens to push the world back into recession. Papandreou sparked a global crisis this week when he announced plans

— to a popular vote. The idea horrified other EU nations, Greece’s creditors and financial markets as investors worried over the prospect that Greece could be forced into a disorderly default. Faced with mounting opposition at home and abroad, Papandreou withdrew the referendum call after the main opposition conservatives indicated they backed the debt deal. With them potentially on board, his finance minister argued, there was no longer a need to put the issue to the Greek people. Stocks rose sharply in the United

Central Bank to cut interest rates. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 208 points, or 1.8 percent, to close above 12,000 for only the third time since early August. But Papandreou’s government was still in danger. The prime minister faces a crucial confidence vote in Parliament at midnight Friday, after two days of acrimony that saw many of his own lawmakers and ministers rebel. Many asked for his resignation, furious that his insistence on a referendum had see GREECE page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain struggled to overcome the storm of controversy from sexual harassment accusations on Thursday as the threat of a damaging written statement by one of his accusers and his own shifting explanations left his efforts and even his candidacy in doubt. “This will not deter me” in the race for the White House, Cain declared, repeatedly denying the allegations in interviews on conservative media outlets. “Did you tell a woman she looked good?” radio host Sean Hannity asked.

“That dress looks hot?” “Nope.” “Any flirtation that you can think of?” “Nope,” Cain said firmly. At the same time, he and aides tried to demonstrate a campaign returning to normalcy or even benefiting from the controversy. Cain, a career businessman, held private meetings in New York during the day, including one on foreign policy with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. And campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon said donors had sent in $1.2 million since news of the allegations first sur-

faced, far above the customary amount for several days. In a personal note, Cain said his wife, Gloria, was “still 200 percent supportive of me in this whole race, 200 percent supportive of me as her husband, because I haven’t done anything.” The furor erupted at a time when Cain had vaulted to the top of public opinion polls as a leading conservative challenger to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination — adding spice to a race already as unpredictable as any in see CAIN page 13

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge who presides over child abuse cases said Thursday that his daughter posted a YouTube video of him beating her several years ago because he told her he was reducing her financial support and taking away her Mercedes. Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams, 51, issued a statement

through his lawyer in which he questioned his 23-year-old daughter Hillary’s motives for posting the secretly made 2004 video online last week. The threepage statement did not include an apology for the beating, in which the judge lashed his daughter with a belt 17 times in the legs while she begged him to stop. Police launched an investigation into

the beating on Wednesday, and on Thursday, the state Department of Family and Protective Services confirmed that it had requested that Adams not handle any of its cases while it conducts its own investigation. Patrick Crimmins, a spokesman for the agency, declined to elaborate on the see JUDGE page 9

Supreme Court rules N.H. pension names & numbers are open to the public CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled Thursday that pension amounts paid to retired public employees and the names of recipients are public information. The court unanimously rejected a bid by the New Hampshire Retirement System to release only the dollar amounts paid to the 500 retirees who receive the highest pensions. System officials also did not want to release any recipients’ names. The court said the privacy interests of the retirees are no different than those of active public employees, whose salaries are a matter of public record, and the public’s right to know trumps the pension recipients’ interest in keeping their names and pensions confidential. “The public has an interest both in knowing how public funds are spent and in uncovering corruption and error in the administration of NHRS,” Justice Gary Hicks said in writing for the court. “Knowing how a public body is spending taxpayer money in conducting public business is essential to the transparency of government — the very purpose underlying the Right-to-Know law,” he said, quoting a decision the court issued last year. The ruling came in an appeal by the Union Leader of Manchester. The newspaper first requested the information in February 2010. The newspaper’s lawyer, Kathleen Sullivan, said that with the Thursday decision, the court “has once again upheld the strong tradition of public access to government records.” Attorney Edward Kaplan argued for NHRS that retirement benefits are different than salaries because they may reflect a person’s family and financial situation. But the justices were not persuaded. see PENSIONERS page 7

N.H. Republicans who were there defend Perry & the animated speech he made on Oct. 28 MANCHESTER (AP) — GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry says he hadn’t been drinking alcohol or taking medication when he delivered an animated speech last week in New Hampshire, and Republicans in the first-in-the-nation primary state got together Thursday to defend him. A YouTube video of the address has gone viral online, and political observers have questioned whether Perry was under the influence of a substance. “No. I was just giving a speech,” Perry told the San Francisco Chronicle in a story published Thursday. “I’ve probably given 1,000 speeches. There are some that have been probably boring, some that have been animated, some that have been in between.” He called it “a pretty typical speech for me.” Last Friday night, Perry was unusually chatty and playful at a benefit dinner for a New Hampshire local think tank, breaking into giggles at one point after receiving a bottle of maple syrup as a parting gift. Comedians and some political observers have seized on the appearance as strange at best. And highlight videos have gone viral. Nearly a week later, the speech was still being talked about, prompting a handful of New Hampshire Republicans to hold a press conference blaming the media and other campaigns for stoking the buzz surrounding Perry’s speech. New Hampshire House Speaker Bill O’Brien and former GOP congressional candidate Jennifer Horn told reporters that the hype had gone too far. Both attended Perry’s speech, although neither is formally connected to any presidential campaign. “We the American people are engaged in the most important responsibility we have as citizens: choosing the next leader of the free world,” Horn told reporters. “And we are kind of sick and tired of the gotcha games of politicians and the political press.

This sort of irresponsible unsubstantiated storytelling hurts the democratic process.” Horn lashed out at what she called “an 8-minute cut-and-paste, arts-and-crafts video project that somebody made on their desk of a 25-minute serious speech.” “Go back and look at the 25 minute speech and let that one go viral,” she said. Perry has visited New Hampshire several times since launching his presidential bid in August. He has struggled in the polls so far. But New Hampshire voters saw a different man last Friday than the one they have come to know in recent months. “I sat there thinking, ‘We need to see more of this Gov. Perry,” O’Brien said, recalling his reaction while watching the speech. The Thursday event was the latest turn in the bizarre buzz surrounding the speech. Comedian Jon Stewart joked on “The Daily Show” Monday night that, “Best-case scenario, that dude’s hammered. Worst-case scenario, that is Perry sober, and every time we’ve seen him previously, he’s been hammered.” Perry told the California newspaper this week that he’d have a glass of wine with Stewart “if he’ll buy.” The Perry campaign said it did not organize Thursday’s New Hampshire event, although Horn confirmed that she had contacted the campaign, which did not object.

Drug shortage demagoguery President Obama couldn’t wait to trample over the legislative process again. This week, he issued his 98th executive order on an irresistibly exploitatable policy issue: prescription drug shortages. Soon, “One a Day” won’t just be a multivitamin. It’ll be the rate of White House administrative fiats. Federal officials darkly suggest that selfish industry “stockpiling” is endangering Americans’ lives. “If we find out that prices are being driven up because shortages are being made worse by manipulations of companies or distributors,” the White House further threatened, “agencies will be empowered to stop those practices. And the FDA and the Department of Justice will be investigating any kinds of abuses that would lead to drug shortages.” As usual, the underlying reasons for these marketplace conditions are gobsmackingly complicated. As usual, a significant portion of the fault lies with the government — not evil corporate “abuses.” And as usual, Obama’s unilaterally imposed “solutions” promise to do more harm than good. There’s no question that drug shortages exist and that they have been on the rise. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 246 drugs are now scarce. It’s a record. Why? I’ve rounded up just a few of the reasons: — DEA rules. In some cases, manufacturers have been ensnared by federal Drug Enforcement Administration regulations. Take Adderall, the attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder medication. As ABC News reported earlier this year, Shire Pharmaceuticals makes Adderall “and is under contract to provide the generic form of the drug to Teva Pharmaceuticals and Impax Laboratories, which mass produce the generic.” According to Shire, their supplies have been hampered by DEA restrictions on the amphetamine-based medications, which are tightly monitored controlled substances. — FDA rules. According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and other professional organizations, “several drug shortages (e.g., concentrated morphine sulfate solution, levothyroxine injection) have been precipitated by actual or anticipated action by the FDA as part of the Unapproved Drugs Initiative, which is designed to increase enforcement against drugs that lack FDA approval to be marketed in the United States.” These industry experts point to additional new drug manufacturing approval processes that are “lengthy and unpredictable, which limits their ability to develop reliable production schedules.” — Manufacturing problems and generic drug status. Sterile injectables such as Propofol, a widely used anesthesia drug, are notoriously dif-

ficult to make. The timeline is long; interruptions in manufacturing one drug can affect multiple products. Sterile injectables can be contaminated easily. Several batches have been recalled in recent years because of dirty particulate matter found in vials. Recall and liability headaches have led manufacturers to get out of the business. Moreover, as low-priced generic drugs, sterile injectables just aren’t as attractive to pharma companies already weathering tough economic times. When drugs go off patent, the prices decrease. The rest is elementary. “If the costs associated with making a drug begin to outweigh the profits,” the New England Journal of Medicine explained, “companies may wish to discontinue production of the drug in favor of a newer, more profitable product. If the number of companies making an older drug decreases, and there is a delay or problem in manufacturing, shortages can and do occur.” — Bush-era Medicare price controls and Obamacare price controls. Everyone from the free-market Wall Street Journal editorial board to renowned death panelist Ezekiel Emanuel agrees that low prices yield inevitable shortages. President Bush and Republicans imposed a 6-percent cap on cancer drug price increases that took effect six years ago. Health care analyst John Goodman adds that Obamacare exacerbated a separate federal price distortion, which requires drug companies to provide rebates to certain hospitals and clinics “of 23.1-percent for brand drugs; and 13-percent for generic drugs off of their average manufacturer’s price on qualifying outpatient drug use.” Emanuel, the controversial former Obama health care guru, provided an unexpected shot in the Democrats’ market-bashing arm in a recent New York Times op-ed: “You don’t have to be a cynical capitalist to see that the long-term solution is to make the production of generic cancer drugs more profitable.” But instead of a sober debate about the wildly divergent reasons for some of these shortfalls, Obama’s perpetual campaign machine gave us taxpayer-funded videos that yank the heartstrings and smear pharmaceutical companies. Instead of an honest assessment of the proposed government “fixes,” Washington bureaucrats are using patients as human shields to disguise new power grabs. Unfortunately, the only cure for Team Obama’s overdose of toxic demagoguery lies at the ballot box. We can’t wait. (Syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin is the daughter of Filipino Immigrants.

LETTERS Left is getting worried that black conservative might really win To the editor, Welcome everyone to November. Only 12 months more of political craziness until we get a chance to correct the mistake made in the last presidential election. Now when I say crazy, I’m not kidding. Seems the left is having real trouble standing up for “their guy”. No wonder, how can they defend any of his long list of failures, so instead they are resorting to the old tried and true, hate, lie, smear and slander. Every opponent is a racist, every opponent wants to kill grandma, throw you out of your home, on and on. Latest smears from our leftist news include: Herman Cain was accused, 20 years ago, of sexual harassment by two unnamed women, this from an unnamed source. Well I guess the left is getting worried that a black conservative might actually get the Republican nomination. How could they then claim racism in the general election, so better to smear the man now. Seems we’ve seen this somewhere before. Oh right! Remember the Clarance Thomas confirmation hearings a few years ago? A political fiasco, an electronic lynching of a black con-

servative. It worked then so the left wants to do it again. If there’s anything the left can’t stand more then a black conservative, well it just doesn’t exist. So comes a dynamic, intelligent successful black Republican gaining public support and out come the lies and smears. Never mind that there is no evidence, no witness, smear and destroy the guy. Any means justifies the end, so says Cloward and Piven, so says Saul Alinsky, radicals among radicals. Readers, is this really what you want in an election? Haven’t we had enough of these dirty, reprehensible, politics of personal destruction? Isn’t it time the president and his supporters give honest debate of the issues that all Americans are facing? Shouldn’t we be demanding that ALL media be held to a standard of fair and balanced coverage not just one cable network? If you voted for Obama last time to prove you were not racist vote for CAIN this time to prove your not stupid. Steve Earle Hill

Stop blaming the politicians. They just reflect what you are To the editor, A wise man once observed that if you always do what you’ve always done; you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten. Well, there’s a lot of truth in that observation. For everyone invested in either the donkey or the elephant philosophy it may be time to stop and reassess the situation we find ourselves in. For those not invested in either philosophy maybe you should be thinking about your apathy and ambivalence. It is disheartening to read and hear the demagoguery from both sides. The problem today isn’t the profligate spending of the donkeys. That’s a symptom. The problem isn’t the obstruction by the elephants. That’s the symptom. The problem is that we as an electorate are unwilling to do the work to understand how to make our own lot in life better. The problem lack is self reliance and personal responsibility.

It is about time that we take control of the political process and demand that our political leadership work in our best interest. We need root cause analysis to determine what the problem is before we launch into a fix. That means compromise, civil discourse, and issues based exchanges. In order for that to be done meaningfully, we as voters, have to understand what it takes to make effective changes to the situation. For too long we have allowed people who are only pandering to reach positions of political power. There are good reasons to go to candidate selection forums. There are good reasons to work for candidates of choice. Getting a better result locally, statewide and nationally is the responsibility of voting public. Stop blaming the politicians. You elected them. They reflect what you are. Do you like what you see? Just my honest opinion. Marc Abear Meredith

LETTERS It sounds like the political fires are too hot for you, Jack To the editor, An open letter to Jack Terrill, candidate for City Council in Ward 4: If you think that what Brenda brought up was damaging to you personally or professionally, can you imagine what it will be like to be elected? What was untrue Jack, your references to Ms. Bear’s age? What was reprehensible? The subject of any reference to her age? What is it you mean Jack, the fact that Brenda fights for the everyday citizens of Ward 4? All of a sudden Jack, you have this new agenda for us. She’s right, where were you the last two years? How many meetings did you attend to offer these great “new” ideas that you have come up with in the last few weeks? Sounds to me Jack, that what you speak of will costs the residence of our ward much more money, than the city is able to spend. Great Jack, as the saying goes: “where’s the beef?” You are fiscally conservative? Really! You want the city to get real aggressive with landlords and remove the social decay? How do you intend

to pay for that Jack? Or actually who will pay for all this? What happens if landlords shut their apartments down Jack, where do they go now? Will you have a solution for those folks? Negotiate with these folks Jack, oh I forgot . . . get aggressive is your agenda! The one thing that you forget Jack is the city has an agenda to work through and it will take a veteran group to continue its direction of negotiations with our great city employees. Thank God we are not in Pennsylvania folks. Jack would have all our city employees quitting or picketing. City employee’s of Ward 4, remember that when you go to the polls next Tuesday! So far Jack, you sound like all newcomers to the political world — promise, promise, promise! And Jack, tourism is our business . . . all year long! Stick with your current job Jack, sounds like the fire is to hot for you Jack. You are far from ready to assume the responsibilities of representing our ward! Don Vachon Ward 4, Laconia

Police & fire are worth every dollar that enables them to perform To the editor, Early Sunday morning, my wife and I woke when we heard and felt a loud bang on the house. We found that a large oak branch had fallen on our service lines tearing them from their anchor point on the roof. We notified PSNH and also called 911 to tell them that our lines were laying on the street opposite our house. We were immediately connected to the Laconia Fire Department. Within minutes, the firemen arrived and barricaded Pleasant Street with traffic control barrels. In the short time it took to set up these safeguards, judging by the tire tracks, a couple of foolish motorists had driven over the lines which were still connected to the pole. Later,

a Laconia Police patrol car was stationed at the wires to prevent anyone from getting near them. When I went out, I was advised that LPD had also notified PSNH. In time, because of their work load, PSNH and Asplund arrived. Around noon, our power was restored, and I could finally snowblow our way out. We wish to thank all these workers for their efforts and hope that in the future, at budget time, that the public safety efforts that these people perform in the wee hours of the morning are worth every dollar that helps them perform like this. Fred & Eileen Mason Laconia

The idea of doing something for nothing seems to have expired To the editor, Mr. Whalen, I really don’t feel that the unions were created to pay you more money. They were created, usually by socialists, to create safer working conditions — ie railroads, farming, mining, factories and the like. Most or some of these ideas actually became laws for worker safety. Many years ago people actually went into the teaching profession, NOT for the money, but with the idea they were making a difference and shaping the future leaders of America. Did that make you laugh out loud? When you were offered and accepted the teaching position I assume that wages were discussed. You then had

the option of either accepting or refusing the position. Another assumption would be that like “adjuncts”, many other people work without union wages to make ends meet, put food on the table etc. So, the message you and many others want to send “our” children is this: Don’t work unless it is for LOTS of money and benefits; the idea of doing something for nothing has expired; don’t volunteer for anything or do anything for free. This idea has worked very well in the past, as many of your former students are working on WALL STREET and doing just fine. Jon Hoyt Bridgewater

Church of Liberalism forbids diversity of thought among minorities To the editor, The stench that emanates from the sewer of what is 21st century liberal journalism now smells of blatant, sickening hypocrisy. The high tech lynching of another prominent conservative, black American has begun even as this same disgusting, integrity deficient liberal media continue to proclaim it is the

I really can’t believe my eyes and ears. MSNBC’s Karen Finney asserts that conservatives only like Herman Cain because they, “think he’s a black man who knows his place”. This despicable race baiting to marginalize conservative blacks in this country has gone on far too long and it is getting worse rather than better. see next page

Laconia schools to establish ‘Heath & Wellness Academy’ as condition of special fed funding By AdAm drApcho LACONIA — School Board members on Tuesday night consented to a proposal that will lead to the creation of a “Health and Wellness Academy” in the city, a joint project between the School District and the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health. The initiative is an attempt to create a comprehensive strategy to engage students, staff and families in health-promoting activities. At the School Board meeting, Superintendent Bob Champlin reminded the board of several activities in Laconia schools that are brought about with the help of the Partnership for Public Health. Those activities include immunization clinics, movement breaks and substance abuse prevention programs. “We want to develop a comprehensive approach,” Champlin said. The initiative was spurred by the district’s plan to sell $6.5-million in Qualified Zone Academy Bonds, a funding program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. The money will be used for the renovation of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center. Champlin explained that the funding comes with a requirement that an academy be created. “The real crux of the Health and Wellness Academy would be an integrated approach,” said Champlin, adding that the soon-to-be-reconstructed football field would be the central point of the academy. “We want the field to be more thana place where sports is played, we want the field to be a center of health and wellness,” he said. He explained that, through the academy, the artificial, all-weather surface could be utilized regularly for class activities and several times each year for programs that would welcome public participation, such as a field day or “Zumba” dancing. The acad-

emy would also oversee the health and wellness programs already underway in the school. “I think it’s good keeping it community-based,” said Bob Dassatti, chair of the School Board. Other board members also voiced approval of the concept. “We wanted to do something that would definitely have an impact,” said Champlin. He told the board that he envisioned the creation of a coordinator’s position to administer the academy, a position shared by the School District and the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health. District representatives will next meet with the advisory board of Health Eating Active Living, a program within the Partnership for Public Health. Following that meeting, a community-based strategic planning process will identify priorities and objectives for the academy, which Champlin hopes to implement beginning in September, 2012. Reached after the meeting, Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health Executive Director Lisa Morris said she was enthusiastic about the academy, which could bring new programs to the school and could organize existing programs “to make them more purposeful.” Morris said the academy’s programs would be given targets to reach toward. “We want to look at some outcomes, we want to have clear goals and see if we’re meeting those goals.” The strategic planning process, she said, will engage representatives of all sectors of the community which are interested in the health of the city’s youth. Those who wish to be a part of the process are welcome to call her at 528-2145 or Champlin at 524-5710. Morris had never heard of a similar project in her field. “This is very, very exciting in the world of public health,” she said.

POVERTY from page 2 Neighborhoods with poverty rates of at least 40 percent are stretching over broader areas, increasing in suburbs at twice the rate of cities. Once-booming Sun Belt metro areas are now seeing some of the biggest jumps in concentrated poverty. Signs of a growing divide between rich and poor can be seen in places such as the upscale Miami suburb of Miami Shores, where nannies gather with

their charges at a playground nestled between the township’s sprawling golf course and soccer fields. The locale is a far cry from where many of them live. One is Mariana Gripaldi, 36, an Argentinian who came to the U.S. about 10 years ago to escape her own country’s economic crisis. She and her husband rent a two-bedroom apartment near Biscayne Bay in a middle-class neighborhood at the north end of Miami Beach, far from the chic hotels and stores. see next page

Ron Christie was called a sellout to whitey and an Uncle Tom by Rep. Maxine Waters in 1991 because he had the audacity to work for a gasp, Republican. Clarence Thomas was perhaps the first black to come under the assault of liberal high tech lynching. Star Parker, Rep. Allen West and Rep. Tim Scott have been smeared as Uncle Tom types as have economists Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell. Why, because they have the audacity to dare to think differently and have successfully found their way off of the liberal plantation. Condoleezza Rice was tagged as an “Aunt Jemima” and “fat lipped Bush parrot”. Michael Steele gazed upon a parade of oreo cookies rolling down the aisle during a gubernatorial debate in 2004. Now these morally bankrupt, liberal journalists are positively orgasmic as they contemplate the crashing and burning of Herman Cain. He being the latest and greatest powerful, black man who dares to be a gasp, Republican presidential candidate. They are all over this “major scandal” like union thugs at an OWS rally. No need to wait for some actual facts to come forth. Nope, let’s just tar and feather him right now. Contrast that if you will, with former President Bill Clinton’s many sexual indiscretions. Move along, nothing to report here because it is his private business and has nothing to do with his job as leader of the free world. The N.Y. Times waited ten months before covering allegations of adultery against Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards thereby leaving the big scoop to the scandal sheets.

However, everything said about President Barack Obama from a conservative is considered “racist”. That would include using his middle name, referring him in the context of playing basketball or even referring to him as a “community organizer”. Of course, attacking ObamaCare is all about “white racism” and couldn’t possibly have anything to do with blowing up our medical system and overwhelming our financial structure. As Peter Heck, Indiana public high school government teacher says, “Diversity of thought amongst minorities — particularly blacks — is forbidden in the church of liberalism”. He also says that in referencing liberals’ mentality regarding self-made black men and women, “ Destroying them professionally and personally is a small price to pay to keep the plantation thriving”. I leave you with Peter’s stunning analogy of real racism today, “If you want to catch a modern day glimpse of old school white on black racism, behold the way white liberals treat black conservatives”. I would also like to leave you with one final thought — despite the savage attacks on Herman Cain and other powerful conservative, black figures, have you heard a great outcry of “racism” from conservative politicians and the conservative media? No, and why is that? It is because conservatives have, in large part, moved beyond race as a forefront issue and are all about trying to save this magnificent republic for all Americans.

The parking spaces painted on the asphalt in front of 307 Main Street in Tilton have become an issue since The Store recently opened at that location and the spaces have been put to much greater use than before. The Selectmen had police place barricades at the site this week because they viewed use of the spaces as a hazard. The spaces cannot be accessed without driving over the sidewalk, which is marked by the two parallel white lines, also painted on the asphalt. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Ed Engler)

TILTON from page one 10 days ago on 307 Main St. — the intersection of Main Street, Park Street and Prospect Street in a building owned since 2000 by Jim Crosley. (Main Street in Tilton doubles at U.S. Rte. 3, which is controlled by the state.) A small specialty store called Free Hill Traders had operated a store from the Prospect Street side of the building since 2006 and that’s when Crosley went to selectmen to ask if he could paint three parking spaces in front of his property. What’s unclear is whether or not the DOT ever gave him permission to access the spaces from the state highway and whether or not he needed it in the first place because of deeded rights laws. Now that there’s a hopping convenience store on the corner, people have taken to using the three spaces — two really, one is handicapped — more frequently for parking, creating what Selectman’s Chair Pat Consentino felt was a safety concern for both traffic and pedestrians, most of whom are school children on their way to and from one of the three schools in the immediate area. The real problem, which Crosley said he tried to fix five years ago, is that the sidewalk — really just an extension of the roadway with parallel white lines painted to differentiate the space — is on the outside of the parking spaces, meaning customers in cars have to cross the sidewalk to get to the parking spaces. As illogical as this seems, Crosley said he tried to address it with selectmen in 2006 with a solution to move the sidewalk inside and the parking outside but said selectmen and former Police Chief Kent Chapman said it wasn’t necessary because people didn’t typically park there. Now they do. And for the last 10 days, especially since The Store owner Walter Apt has been getting deliveries to get

his new business up and running, the already malfunctioning intersection of Route 140 and Route 3 has become, in at least three out of five selectman’s opinion, more of a problem. Consentino said the board first discussed it Monday at a selectman’s special budget meeting and decided to ask the police to put up temporary barricades to stop people from parking in the spaces. According to Apt and Crosley, the town never officially told them about the request to the police chief so when the orange barriers went up in front of the building, they interpreted it as a throw-down. Things continued to escalate between the store owners, Corsley, the selectman and the police, including phones calls from both sides to the media, until all of the parties met last night at 7:30 p.m. Crosley sat at the Selectmen’s table while Apt and his wife, the guys who own the other store in the building, and a few people from town sat in the audience. He fired the first salvo by telling selectmen that they would have three choices, all of them involving some kind of monetary compensation to him and his tenants for lost business. Selectman Katherine Dawson shot back by telling Crosley that legally he didn’t have permission from the DOT to access the three spaces because there was no record of any permission given by the DOT to selectmen in 2006. “Lots of things get lost in town hall,” replied Crosley. Crosley said he felt he and his tenants were being unfairly targeted by selectmen and for reasons he couldn’t fathom. Consentino replied by repeating the traffic issues she photographed and witnessed — including a tractor trailer unable to make a left hand turn toward Franklin from Rte. 132 (Park Street) while a delivery truck was parked in front of the store to people see next page

KELLY from page one one felony count of criminal restraint and one misdemeanor count of resisting arrest. A grand jury indicted him for the unlawful possession of a firearm but, after hearing the prosecution’s case, O’Neill this week dismissed the two felonies. Kelly has been in jail ever since Sept. 3, 2010, either in the N.H. State Prison until July of 2011 for an alleged parole violation and in Belknap County House of Corrections awaiting his trial since then. Sisti argued that Kelly has already served 14 months and the state’s continuing to hold him is a violation of both his state and federal constitution rights to freedom and liberty. Guldbrandsen argued that Kelly is entitled to 100 days of time served because the rest of his jail time was triggered by a parole violation and said the court had ruled in a previous case that a parole violation was not concurrent with jail time ordered as the result of a conviction in a different crime.

O’Neill agreed with Guldbrandsen and Sisti said he would file an appeal of the sentence with the N.H. Supreme Court. Guldbrandsen wanted Kelly held on $25,000 cashonly bail while he awaits his appeal but Sisti argued that he should be released on personal recognizance bail while his awaits the appeal of his sentence. Sisti said he would file the sentence appeal immediately with the N.H. Supreme Court but said Kelly should be free because it will take the N.H. Supreme Court at least 60 days just to acknowledge his appeal and during that time Kelly will be deprived of his liberty. O’Neill ordered Kelly held on $10,000 cash, bond or corporate surety. Should he post bail, Kelly is further ordered not to drink alcohol, not to take any unprescribed drugs, not possess a dangerous weapon, not to leave New Hampshire, not to get into any trouble with the law and to sign a waiver of extradition.

from preceding page in cars playing dodge ball for parking spaces. “I’d like to sit back and resolve this like adults and not 8-year-olds,” Apt said standing in the back of the room. Cooler heads prevailed when Selectmen Jim Jesseman, Norm Boudreau and Apt agreed they weren’t there to fight. “I would love to get this straightened out,” Jesseman said. Apt agreed and said he could control the delivery drivers so long as all the parties could amicably agree to come to some sort of temporary solution while the DOT investigates — namely some kind of attractive signs or ribbons to stop people from parking in front but not make it look like a crime scene.

A motion was made to remove the barricades will come down and selectmen agree to waive any fees so Apt and the other tenants can apply for temporary sign permits. Police will ticket or tow any errant delivery truck drivers. All of the interested parties will meet today to visually agree on where the temporary signs should go. William Lambert of the DOT said yesterday that his department is aware of the issue and will be examining and discussing it within a week. Lambert said traffic problems at this particular intersection are not new and that he was “very anxious to have some happen soon.” “We need to know the right-of-way constraints,” he said.

JUDGE from page 2 exact nature of the investigation. But he said in general, the agency would only investigate a case in which a suspected abuse victim has already reached adulthood if there are still children in the home who could be at risk. Adams was granted joint custody of his 10-year-old daughter in his 2007 divorce. Late Thursday, police in Rockport, Texas said Adams would not be charged with causing injury to a child and other assault offenses because a five year statutes of limitations had expired. Chief Tim Jayroe said otherwise the judge would have been charged. There are no allegations of alleged abuse by Adams against his younger daughter, who primarily resides with her mother, Hallie Adams. Crimmins declined to say whether his agency is investigating the parental fitness of Hallie Adams, who lashed Hillary once during the 2004 beating. Crimmins said his agency ordinarily wouldn’t disclose that its investigations, but it did in this case because the investigation is the reason it requested that William Adams not be assigned to its cases. Adams, Aransas County’s top judge, was elected in 2001 and has dealt with at least 349 family law cases in the past year alone, nearly 50 of which involved state caseworkers seeking determine whether parents were fit to raise their children. In the video, which has been viewed on YouTube more than 2.4 million times, the judge lashes his then 16-year-old daughter with a belt while she wailed and pleaded with him to stop. At the beginning of the video he tells his wife to get his younger daughter out of the room. He told a TV station Wednesday that the video “looks worse than it is” and that he was just disciplining his child.

from preceding page ers and the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Adams said in his statement Thursday that he will “respond” to any investigations. County officials confirmed that Adams will not hear cases related to Child Protective Services for at least the next two weeks. And the top administrator in Aransas County cast doubt on whether Adams could credibly return to the bench. “I would think it would be very difficult,” said Aransas County Judge C.H. “Burt” Mills Jr. “Personally I don’t see how he can recover from this.” If the judicial commission and police investigations don’t lead to punishment or charges, Adams could be safe on the bench until he’s up for re-election in three years. Hillary Adams says the outpouring of support and encouragement she’s received since posting the clip last week is tempered by the sadness that it’s her father repeatedly lashing her with a belt and threatening to beat her “into submission.” “I’m experiencing some regret because I just pulled the covers off my own father’s misbehavior after so many people thought he was such a good person. ... But so many people are also telling me I

did the right thing,” she told The Associated Press outside her mother’s home in the Gulf Coast town of Portland on Wednesday. She said the attack was not a one-off. “It did happen regularly for a period of time,” she told NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday during an appearance with her mother. In that interview, Hallie Adams blamed her ex-husband’s bouts of violence on his “addiction,” calling it a “family secret.” She did not elaborate. Their 22-year marriage ended in 2007. She also said William Adams had threatened to have their custody agreement modified to take their younger daughter away. William Adams painted a different picture. “Just prior to the YouTube upload, a concerned father shared with his 23-year-old daughter that he was unwilling to continue to work hard and be her primary source of financial support, if she was going to simply ‘drop out,’ and strive to achieve no more in life than to work part time at a video game store,” Adams’ statement said. “Hillary warned her father if he reduced her financial support, and took away her Mercedes automobile, which her father had provided, he would live to regret it.”

GREECE from page 2 endangered the debt deal and led European leaders to question Greece’s treasured participation in the euro, the common currency used by 17 EU nations. The governing Socialists have a slim two-seat majority in the 300-member legislature, and at least one lawmaker has publicly threatened to vote against the Papandreou government. In an address to Parliament, Papandreou stressed his only interest was Greece’s well-being, and hinted he was willing to eventually step down. “I don’t care about being re-elected. I am interested in saving the country,” he said, adding that he was open to the mounting calls for the creation of a transitional government that would secure the debt deal, and make sure Greece receives the next, vital installment of its existing bailout funds. After that, he said, he would be open to holding elections. “Let everything be discussed — the makeup of the government and anything else. ... I am not glued to my seat,” Papandreou said.

“My position is crystal clear: Let talks start immediately to create a formation that is broadly accepted, efficient and able to deal with the national interest in this difficult time for the country.” Once Greece is on an even course, he said, “then, of course, we can head to an election process. But a government resignation would have left the country in the lurch.” An angry Antonis Samaras, the head of the main opposition conservatives, insisted Papandreou had to go and dispelled any impression of unity. He argued he had already agreed to back the vital new deal, and demanded quick elections — within the next six weeks if possible. “Mr. Papandreou pretends that he didn’t understand what I told him,” he said. “I called on him to resign.” Papandreou “nearly pulled the universe apart to supposedly persuade me to agree to something that I had already said was unavoidable.”

Tilton tax burden declines slightly TILTON — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2011 property tax rate at $20.34 per $1,000 of assessed value, a decrease of $0.07-cents, or o.3 percent. The total amount to be raised by property taxes decreased by $21,837, or 0.2-percent, from $10,306,555 to $10,284718. The total assessed valuation rose by $917,021 or 1.8-percent, from $513,147,985 to $514,065,006. The town portion of the tax dropped $0.44 to $6.7, the local school portion rose $0.13 to $7.89, the state school

portion rose $0.10 to $2.47 and the county portion decreased $0.04 to $1.34. The fire district portion of the tax rate climbed from $1.76 to $1.94. Selectman Katherine Dawson commended the Budget Committee and department heads for their contributions to the town budget. She said the despite drawing on the undesignated fund balance to offset increases in the school district, state school and fire district portions of the tax rate, the fund balance is at its highest level in a decade. — Michael Kitch

WARD 1 from page one no exception. The ward is physically the largest in the city, stretching northward from Opechee Cove then sprawling to the Meredith town line before crossing the Weirs Channel and reaching halfway to the Gilford town line in the east. It consists mostly of sparsely settled and empty space bracketed by two very different neighborhoods, Old North Main Street and South Down Shores in the west and The Weirs to the northeast. More often than not during the last decade elections have featured candidates from opposite ends of the ward and this year’s race continues the trend. Doyle, with her husband David, has owned and operated Sun Valley Cottages at The Weirs for 19 years while Condodemetraky, who owns residential rental properties in the city and an engineering firm in Belmont, lives on Edgewater Avenue, on Opechee Cove. Several supporters of Doyle have pointed out that since the new ward boundaries, which will likely be approved in January, will place Condodemetraky’s home in Ward 3, his election would leave Ward 1 represented by a resident of Ward 3. When Condodemetraky filed his candidacy the new lines had not been drawn,

consequently he could be elected to represent Ward 1, but only for one term, after which he would have to run in Ward 3 to keep a seat on the council. Calling the situation unavoidable, Condodemetraky said that it should not affect the election. While Doyle agreed, she looked beyond this election and remarked, that “unfortunately Ward 1 has had a revolving door and not a lot of continuity.” Both candidates named compensation and benefits of municipal employees as the major challenge facing the city. “The cost of health insurance and pensions is not sustainable,” declared Condodemetraky, who enjoys the support of the Laconia Professional Firefighters union. “This is my number one priority, the number one issue we need to address.” Acknowledging that collective bargaining agreements must be negotiated with the four unions representing city workers, he said ‘it’s not just renegotiating contracts for one, two or three years, but about what happens beyond that.” To reduce health insurance costs Condodemetraky proposed joining with other public and some private employers to form larger risk pools or perhaps considering a self-insurance program, but repeatedly conceded see next page

from preceding page during an interview this week that he did not have all the answers at hand. The rising cost of pensions, he traced to “politicians who are not meeting their obligations.” Reluctant to suggest either reducing the benefits or raising the contributions of employees, Condodemetraky said that competitive wages and benefits were required to attract and retain skilled and experienced employees. Instead, he called for planning that would take a comprehensive approach to compensation and benefits. “The pay structure and benefits structure are not sustainable,” said Doyle on Wednesday. “They cannot continue. Something has got to give somewhere.” Barring national reform like permitting insurance sales across state lines, she said that employees may have to contribute more and accept higher deductibles. “It’s one of those times the municipality has to start acting like a business,” she said. People are not going to be happy to hear that, but it is what it is.” Likewise, Doyle said that she would curtail the practice of assigning a cash value to accrued vacation days and sick leave paid as a lump to employees

when they leave city service and incorporated into their earnings when calculating their pension. “It should be use it or lose it,” she said. Moreover, she favored replacing the current formula for calculating pensions on the last three years of earnings with one based on “an employee’s earnings as a whole.” Neither candidate believes the city should contribute to financing the renovation and reopening of the Colonial Theater. Condodemetraky said that in 2005 he explored acquiring the property only to quickly discover “the numbers would not work.” He said that after speaking with the management of the Music Hall in Portsmouth he concluded that “the operating costs would be a tremendous burden,” requiring perpetual fundraising efforts beyond the means of the Lakes Region community. “We just can’t take on that type of burden,” Doyle agreed.”if it can’t happen without city money, it doesn’t happen.” Warning that “it would be a drain on the city budget forever,” she recommended that the owner, the Baldi family, should reduce the asking price and sell it to a private party. “Otherwise it could cost more to tear it down than its worth,” she said. Nor are the candidates enthusiastic about acquir-

ing the former Laconia State School property. “Condodemetraky acknowledged “it’s an important piece of property,” but said “we’ve got bigger fish to fry.” “We don’t have numbers,” said Doyle, “and I can’t even begin to speculate.” She agreed that “some of the property needs to be on the tax rolls, but maybe not all of it,” but stressed that the city’s interest would depend on the price. Calling the $10-million asked by the state “out of the question,” she added that “$5-million is a little too high for my blood.” Condodemetraky and Doyle both opposed introducing a Pay-As-You-Throw to reduce the cost of disposing of solid waste by increasing recycling. “No way,” Condodemetraky said flatly, suggesting instead that the city “lead from the top” by placing recycling bins in parks and other public spaces. “We’re not ready for that yet,” said Doyle, who added that much more education was needed. Rather than pursuing major projects both candidates called for more modest initiatives. Doyle looked forward to expanding sidewalks, burying utilities, improving drainage and building a boat launch at The Weirs, using funds from a Tax Incresee next page

Condodemetraky noted that the city’s five public beaches were essential to its tourist industry and called for measures to forestall their frequent closure due to pollution. And Doyle and Condodemetraky alike favor the restoration of Weirs Beach. The last four city council elections in Ward 1 have been decided by 45 votes or less. The widest margin CAIN from page 2 recent memory. Since it was reported late Sunday that at least two women had complained about Cain when they worked at the National Restaurant Association — and had received financial settlements — Cain has said consistently he never sexually harassed anyone. But his answers to other pertinent questions have changed. In one instance, he first denied knowing of any settlements with former employees, then said he recalled one, explaining he had been aware of an “agreement” but not a “settlement.” On Wednesday, Cain said he believed a political consultant on his 2004 Senate campaign who now is helping presidential rival Rick Perry had leaked the information. But he backed off on the day after. “If he didn’t ask me about this and he was my general

In 2009 Knytych withstood a strong bid by Marge Kerns to hold the seat by 11 votes. In 2010, he resigned when he moved to New Hampton and Doyle was appointed to complete his term.

Anderson denied leaking the information and said he first saw the accusations in the Politico report that started the week’s events. Media coverage continued. Politico, citing anonymous sources, reported that one of the women contended that Cain made a sexual overture to her and invited her to his hotel room during a National Restaurant Association event in the late 1990s. The report said the woman was livid and complained to a member of the group’s board later that night. The publication cited multiple sources, including an acquaintance of the woman and a person who attended the restaurant association meeting at which the woman lodged her complaint.

Day of arts activities for kids November 12 at Winni Playhouse

MEREDITH — Children in grades K-6 will have the opportunity to spend an entire day exploring five different art forms at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s Children’s Arts Workshop on Saturday, November 12 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. This is the third integrated arts day the Playhouse has run, each of them allowing kids to engage in the arts in a fun and enriching environment. This Fall’s workshop will be inspired by The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood which features as the Winni Players Youth Ensemble’s Fall play and will be performed later in the month. Participants will be divided into groups based on their age and will rotate through five workshops, led by professional educators, in drama, dance, music, visual art and language arts. Instructors include Kate Wisnioski, Becky Gregoire, Kyle Nickerson, Sherry Gardner and Patte Sarausky. Activities

will include making art with everyday objects, writing songs, and choreographing sword fights. Kids don’t need to be familiar with the story of Robin Hood in advance as the play is only a jumping off point for the fun, interactive lessons. The workshop costs $25 per child and runs from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Playhouse’s Meredith Campus at 50 Reservoir Road. Children should bring a bagged lunch and snack. Enrollment is limited and applications can be found at www.winniplayhouse.org or by calling 366-7377. For questions about the workshop contact Kate@winniplayhouse.org.

NH regular ﬁrearms deer season opens Nov. 9 CONCORD — Opening day for New Hampshire’s regular firearms deer season is November 9, a date anticipated with great enthusiasm by the state’s estimated 60,000 deer hunters. The season runs through December 4 in most of the state, except in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) A in northern New Hampshire, where it closes November 27. The state’s popular muzzleloader deer season got underway on October 29 statewide and runs through November 8. “For many New Englanders, the firearms deer season is a traditional opportunity to get together with family and friends, enjoy our bountiful resources and put meat in the freezer before winter,” said Kent Gustafson, the deer biologist for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Overall, the 2011 deer season is expected to be good for New Hampshire hunters, according to Gustafson. Following a mild winter in 2009-10, deer in much of the state entered the winter season in good shape last year thanks to a decent acorn crop. While snow piled up in mid-January and February, creating challenges for the deer, warm weather in midMarch quickly reduced snow depths. So, although the winter of 2010-11 was above-average in severity statewide, it could have been much worse for New Hampshire’s deer population, which is still recovering from decreases resulting from a series of severe winters since 2007. The archery deer season began September 15 and

was limited to antlered deer in September. Archers have taken a preliminary total of 1,025 deer (as of October 16); that number is up somewhat from the total for 2010 at this point in the season, but continues to reflect the desired reduction in antlerless archery kill during September. Since October 1, the archery season has once again been “either sex.” New Hampshire’s archery deer season extends through December 15, except in WMU-A, where it closes on December 8. Deer hunters can find Wildlife Management Unit and season-specific either-sex day regulations in the 2011-2012 N.H. Hunting and Trapping Digest, available online at http://www.huntnh.com/pubs/ hunting.html or from any Fish and Game license agent. Hunting licenses can be purchased online at http:// www.huntnh.com or from license agents statewide. Licenses are also sold at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord. The basic N.H. hunting license costs $22 for residents and $103 for nonresidents. Hunters younger than age 16 do not need a license, but must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult at least 18 years of age. Hunters with full freezers are reminded that the New Hampshire Food Bank is seeking donations of whole or processed deer. This venison provides a valuable source of meat for food banks around the state. For more information, call the food bank at 669-9725 x240 or visit http://www.nhfoodbank.org.

With suicide being the second leading cause of death for youth and young adults up to age 34 and the 10th leading cause of death for all ages in New Hampshire, suicide touches many families, friends, and communities in our state. On Tuesday, November 8, at 6 p.m. in Heritage Hall Commons at Plymouth State University, the Mental Health Issues class invites the public to hear the firsthand story of a parent who lost her daughter to suicide and view a nationally-renowned video, The Truth About Suicide, produced by college students. Through the insight of personal experiences, people can learn both how to prevent suicide and how to provide support those who have lost someone to suicide. Following the film there will be a question and answer discussion about understanding and preventing suicide. Resources for survivors of suicide and suicide prevention information will be available along with staff from the PSU Campus Ministry, the Campus Counseling Center and NAMI NH (National Alliance on Mental Illness). There is no charge for this event, which is open to all PSU staff, students and the larger community. For more information about the event, contact Elaine de Mello: edemello@naminh.org or call 340-1062.

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis to stop the ruckus. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be excited about teaching others what you know. You’ll move quickly and say much. Your “students” will absorb it, too, because you’re all on the same page. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll get serious about a goal. This is the part where the rubber meets the road. You realize that you are in a competition, and you have the instinct to get ahead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t know whether a person has the integrity to follow through on what he or she promised, and that is disconcerting. A clear communication channel will give you the best shot. Also, make a backup plan. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not looking for a quick fix or a comforting cliche. You want to live a great life, and that means accepting the complexities and moving forward anyway. Your faults may also be your best assets in the fight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have something in common with the Japanese goddess Okame. When the sun went into hiding and the world went dark, it was Okame’s wild dance that brought back the light. Your exuberance will save the day. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4). You’ll engage life with full participation. This month you’ll change one physical habit -- perhaps dietary -- and this kicks off a wave of good fortune. Your commitment to positive thinking will jump-start your career in a different and improved direction at the start of 2012. A relationship will be healed in June. Libra and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 1, 24 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t want to exhaust yourself chasing down every small lead that comes your way. You also don’t want to wait around for the big ship that may or may not come in. You’ll focus on the juiciest, most appealing job you see. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you are too aware of what a person can or can’t do for you, it will be challenging to loosen up and have fun. Better to assume that your contacts can’t do anything for you and think instead about what you might do for them. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You enter into friendship cautiously. You may even be feeling shy. But once the ice is cracked, you’ll become gregarious, sharing and interacting all day long. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may feel like you are recovering from hurt feelings, as well you are. You may also be ignoring a certain person until you have fully recovered. You’ll come back to this person when you’re ready to talk unemotionally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be directing social happenings, and you want to prevent anyone from feeling uncomfortable or slighted. You’ll investigate matters of protocol and try to adopt the best method for your situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will look for a pattern in events so as not to be surprised at what is to come. Mostly, you will be able to accurately predict the next wave. Mostly... LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel older than all the people around you, or at least a lot more mature. You’ll stand back and watch them squabble like children on a playground. You may even have to blow a proverbial whistle

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, November 4, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Nov. 4, the 308th day of 2011. There are 57 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 4, 1991, Ronald Reagan opened his presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif., with a dedication attended by President George H.W. Bush and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald R. Ford and Richard Nixon the firstever gathering of five past and present U.S. chief executives. On this date: In 1884, Democrat Grover Cleveland was elected to his first term as president, defeating Republican James G. Blaine. In 1922, the entrance to King Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered in Egypt. In 1924, Nellie T. Ross of Wyoming was elected the nation’s first female governor to serve out the remaining term of her late husband, William B. Ross. In 1939, the United States modified its neutrality stance in World War II, allowing “cash and carry” purchases of arms by belligerents, a policy favoring Britain and France. In 1942, during World War II, Axis forces retreated from El Alamein in North Africa in a major victory for British forces commanded by Lt. Gen. Bernard Montgomery. In 1979, the Iran hostage crisis began as militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran, seizing its occupants; for some, it was the start of 444 days of captivity. In 1980, Ronald Reagan won the White House as he defeated President Jimmy Carter by a strong margin. In 1995, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli minutes after attending a festive peace rally. In 2008, Democrat Barack Obama was elected the first black president of the United States, defeating Republican John McCain. One year ago: Australian airline Qantas grounded all six of its Airbus A380 superjumbo jets after one of them blew out an engine over Indonesia; the plane made a safe emergency return to Singapore with 469 people aboard. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Doris Roberts is 81. Actress Loretta Swit is 74. Rhythmand-blues singer Harry Elston (Friends of Distinction) is 73. Blues singer Delbert McCLinton is 71. Former First Lady Laura Bush is 65. Actress Markie Post is 61. Rock singer-musician Chris Difford (Squeeze) is 57. Country singer Kim Forester (The Forester Sisters) is 51. Actress-comedian Kathy Griffin is 51. Actor Ralph Macchio is 50. “Survivor” host Jeff Probst is 50. Rock singer-musician Wayne Static (Static-X) is 46. Actor Matthew McConaughey is 42. Rapper-producer Sean “Puffy” Combs is 42. Rhythm-and-blues singer Shawn Rivera (Az Yet) is 40. Actress Heather Tom is 36. Rhythm-and-blues/gospel singer George Huff is 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have a year-old son whom I love more than anything in the world. My girlfriend, “Karen,” and I are trying to be good parents. The problem is, Karen and I have broken up several times due to arguments that got out of control. She has a terrible temper. Usually, a month after our breakups, she pulls out all the stops to get me back. Since our son’s birth, we’ve stuck together, but we still fight. Twice, Karen has threatened to take our son and leave. The fighting is wearing me down. I have considered proposing because I know it will make her happy. And she really is a great mother. But as soon as I consider finding a ring, we end up having another ridiculous fight. I’ve suggested counseling and church, and although she has agreed, I can’t get her to schedule anything. Should our son be exposed to our constant fighting and the possibility of a split, or is it better for him to grow up with separated parents who can be civil toward each other? -- Balancing on a Cliff in Connecticut Dear Cliff: It’s better for kids to grow up in a stable environment with two committed, loving parents. There is still a chance that you can achieve this, but it will require counseling. Don’t wait for Karen to schedule an appointment. She is too afraid that a counselor will blame her for all your troubles, and you should assure her that this is not what a good counselor does. Make an appointment on your own, and ask her to be there. If she refuses, please go without her. Dear Annie: All I want to do is get a job so I can have food on the table to feed my family. Yet, every time I fill out an application, they ask about college. If I don’t check the box that says I went to college or intend to go, I don’t hear from them. I am retired and need some extra money because my sons can’t find work and they are living at home, along with my

granddaughter. My wife is already working 60 hours a week. How am I going to support all of them if I can’t get some extra money? -- Proud Vet Who Can’t Find Work Dear Vet: You seem to be searching in the wrong places. Many jobs do not require a college degree. While the job market is tight right now, please check out these suggested websites for seniors and retirees who need assistance or training: retirementjobs.com, workforce50.com and experienceworks. org. We hope one of them will steer you in the right direction. Good luck. Dear Annie: “Miss My Sister” said her bipolar sister didn’t think she had any friends, but the funeral was standing room only. How many of those “friends” were in her sister’s life before she killed herself? I, too, have been contemplating suicide. I do not believe I am depressed, but I do feel invisible and that no one would miss me if I died. I have been divorced for five years. I have a good job, my own home, work out regularly and am active in my church. I am close with my family, have many acquaintances and a few good friends. I still feel alone. I would love it if someone would call once in a while and ask me to go to dinner or shopping. If I did commit suicide, it would not be to hurt my family, but to take the hurt away from me. -- Lonely Dear Lonely: You may not believe you are depressed, but your letter says otherwise. Someone who has close family and good friends should not feel invisible and alone. Sometimes it’s a matter of perspective or effort. But it could also be a medical or psychiatric problem.
