Selectmen step back, for now, from actions against strip club

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — Selectmen have withdrawn their petition asking the state to revoke the liquor license of a local strip club and will wait for the results on an investigation being conducted by the N.H. Liquor Commission itself.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said yesterday in a statement released to local media that the Selectboard made the deci-

sion to withdraw its petition aimed at the Mardi Gras North Cabaret after consulting with legal counsel.

Dunn said, and Chief N.H. Liquor Enforcement Officer Eddie Edwards confirmed, that Monday’s scheduled hearing involving ownership and management of club appearking before the three member Liquor Commission in Concord has been canceled.

Selectmen also decided to not hold a hear-

ing on pulling the club’s town-issued entertainment permit at the next selectmen’s meeting, waiting instead for the Liquor Commission to make its findings first.

Dunn explained that the Mardi Gras townissued live-entertainment permit is conditioned on a valid state liquor license and that without a liquor permit, the entertainment permit would be administratively revoked.

Gunstock’s new ZipTour open for business

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For years Fire Chief Ken Erickson has insisted that the United States Census Bureau has undercounted the population of the city and the results of the 2010 census have done nothing to allay his suspicions.

“The population is seriously undercounted,” Erickson declared. “There’s no question about it.”

He estimated that the resident population of the city is close to 20,000 and approaches 30,000 in the summer months.

His doubts about the resident population reported by the census in both 2000 and 2010 arise from what he considers a disparity between the number of housing units and the number of residents in the city.

The 2010 census reported 9,879 housing units and 15,591 residents in Laconia.

Erickson said that only a half-dozen municipalities in New see CENsus page 10

Quarter-mile-wide asteroid will pass between earth & moon

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — An asteroid bigger than an aircraft carrier will dart between the Earth and moon on Tuesday — the closest encounter by such a huge rock in 35 years.

But scientists say not to worry. It won’t hit.

“We’re extremely confident, 100 percent confident, that this is not a threat,” said the manager of NASA’s Near Earth Object Program, Don Yeomans. “But it is an opportunity.”

The asteroid named 2005 YU55 is being watched by ground antennas as it approaches from the direction of the sun.

The last time it came within so-called shouting distance was 200 years ago.

Closest approach will occur at 6:28 p.m. EDT Tuesday when the asteroid passes within 202,000 miles of Earth.

That’s closer than the roughly 240,000 miles between the Earth and the moon.

The moon will be just under 150,000 miles from the asteroid at the time of closest approach.

Both the Earth and moon are safe — “this time,” said Jay Melosh, professor of Earth and atmospheric sciences at Purdue University.

If 2005 YU55 were to plow into the home planet, it would blast out a crater four miles across and 1,700 feet deep, according to Melosh’s calculations.

Think a magnitude-7 earthquake and 70-foot-high tsunami waves.

Scientists have been tracking the slowly spinning, spherical, dark-colored object since its discovery in 2005, and are positive it won’t do any damage.

“We know the orbit of this object very well,” Yeomans said.

The asteroid stretches a quarter-mile across. Smaller objects come close all the time, Yeomans noted, but nothing this big will have ventured so close since 1976. And nothing this large will again until 2028.

Radar observations from California and Puerto Rico will help scientists ascertain whether the asteroid is pocksee ASTEROID page 12

Greece’s prime minister survives confidence vote ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s prime minister survived a confidence vote early Saturday, calming a revolt in his Socialist party with an emotional pledge to step aside if need be and seek a cross-party government lasting four months to safeguard Europe’s new debt agreement.

George Papandreou won the critical confidence motion with a vote of 153145 after a week of drama in Athens that horrified its European partners, spooked global markets and overshadowed the Group of 20 summit in the French resort of Cannes.

The threat of a Greek default or

exit from the common euro currency has worsened the continent’s debt crisis, which is already struggling under bailouts for Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said the new government that will be formed would last until the end of February.

But opposition leader Antonis Samaras, who had demanded Papandreou resign and a new government be formed that did not include members of any political party, called for snap elections. He did not say whether his conservative party

would join coalition talks, due to be formally launched later Saturday when Papandreou meets the country’s president.

“The masks have fallen, Mr. Papandreou has rejected our proposals in their entirety. The responsibility he bears is huge. The only solution is elections.”

Papandreou’s government came under threat this week, following his disastrous bid to hold a referendum on a major new European debt agreement. The idea was swiftly scrapped Thursday after an angry response from markets and European leaders.

CANNES, France (AP) — The G-20 summit ended in disarray Friday without additional outside money to ease Europe’s debt crisis and new jitters about Italy clouding a plan to prevent Greece from defaulting.

In the end, only vague offers to increase the firepower of the International Monetary Fund — at some later date — were all the eurozone leaders were able to take home after two days of tumultuous talks.

With their own finances already stretched from bailing out Greece, Ireland and Portugal — and the

United States and other allies wrestling with their own problems — eurozone countries had been looking to the IMF to help line up more financing to prevent the debt crisis from spreading to larger economies like Italy and Spain.

Italy’s fate in particular is crucial to the eurozone, because its economy — the third-largest in the currency union — would be too expensive to bail out. The implications for the world economy are stark: The debt crisis that has rocked the 17-nation eurozone threatens to push the world

economy into a second recession.

European leaders could point to one potential catastrophe averted: They stared down Greece’s prime minister and berated him into scrapping a referendum that threatened their European bailout plan. Greece’s politics are in upheaval as a result, but the shaky bailout plan appears back on track — for now.

“We want Europe to work,” French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on French TV when the summit was over. “I think today we can have consee G-20 page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — The American economy added 80,000 jobs in October, and job growth in the two previous months was much stronger than first thought, an encouraging sign as the nation searches for a way out of the jobs crisis.

The unemployment rate dropped to 9 percent from 9.1 percent, the first time it has fallen since July and the lowest rate since April, the government said Friday.

“Those are pretty good signs,” said

Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

“We’re hanging in there.”

Economists surveyed by FactSet, a provider of financial data, had expected a gain of 100,000 jobs. It takes a gain of about 125,000 jobs a month to keep up with population growth, more to bring down the unemployment rate.

The overall jobs figure was the smallest in four months. Still, there were smaller, more encouraging signs in

the government’s monthly snapshot of unemployment, one of the most closely watched economic reports.

Job gains and losses are reported through a government survey of businesses and other employers.

A separate survey of households is used to calculate the unemployment rate, and that survey showed an even brighter picture.

Texas mom pleads guilty Cain accuser cited ‘several’ harassment incidents to killing son in N.H.

BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — A Texas mother pleaded guilty Friday to killing her 6-year-old son in New Hampshire and disposing of his body in rural Maine, and a prosecutor said the woman smothered her son with motel room pillows and the child struggled against her for “about three minutes” before he died.

In a deal with prosecutors, Julianne McCrery, 42, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her son, Camden Hughes.

She is expected to be to be sentenced to 45 years to life in prison on Jan. 13, 2012.

After her arrest, McCrery told police she drove crosscountry from Irving, Texas to Maine to buy castor beans to use in committing suicide, and spent the drive thinking of ways to kill her young son, Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell said in court.

“There was no one else in her family she believed was fit to raise him if she were dead and she did not think he should be raised by social services,” Morrell said.

But Morrell also told Rockingham Superior Court Judge Tina Nadeau that investigators believe, after speaking with acquaintances of McCrery in Texas, that she felt “inconvenienced” by having Camden in her life and that she intended to return to Texas without the boy.

Morrell declined to elaborate on that theory after court.

Morrell said McCrery obtained the potentially lethal castor beans at a Maine emporium on May 12, and spent May 13 at Hampton Beach with Camden, checking into the Stone Gable Motel in Hampton that night. Early the next morning she ingested some of the castor beans and gave Camden some cold medication, Morrell said.

“An hour after feeding him the Nyquil, she took all the pillows off the bed and put them on the floor,” Morrell said. “She lifted her son and placed him face down on the pillows. She lay on top of him, applying pressure to his body, with one hand over his mouth and smothered him. She said her son struggled, flailing his legs and arms for about three minutes.”

McCrery told police it was daybreak when she put her son’s body in the back seat of her Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck and covered it with a green blanket.

“She drove for some time,” Morrell said, at one point turning onto a dirt road that led to another road in South Berwick, Maine, where she left her son’s body in a wooded area not far from the road.

The discovery of Camden’s body under a blanket on May 14 launched a nationwide effort to identify him. Even as that effort was under way, McCrery called his Texas elementary school daily to report him absent, saying he had appendicitis.

Morrell said the mystery of Camden’s identity and the conviction of his mother might not have occurred but for a coincidence.

Linda Gove was driving to visit her in-laws in South Berwick when she noticed a blue truck, doors open and vacant, on the typically deserted road.

She noticed U.S. Navy insignia on the truck. Glancing in her rear-view mirror, Gove noticed a woman, dark hair pulled into a ponytail, emerging from the woods. With her relatives, she went back and made see MURDER page 13

WASHINGTON (AP) — One of Herman Cain’s accusers alleged “several incidents of sexual harassment” in a formal complaint more than a decade ago, her lawyer disclosed Friday, a fresh allegation that could complicate the Republican presidential hopeful’s determined bid to lay the politically explosive controversy to rest.

The lawyer, Joel Bennett, said his client — married then and now — accepted a financial settlement in leaving her job at the National Restaurant Association shortly after lodging the complaint against Cain, who was then the trade group’s head. Bennett did not name the woman, who he said stands by her allegations and has decided not “to relive the specifics” of the incidents in a public forum.

Cain, who tried to return to normal campaigning Friday, has repeatedly denied ever sexually harassing anyone. His spokesman, J.D. Gordon, said in response to Bennett’s comments, “’’We’re looking to put this issue behind us and focus on the real issues, which are fixing this broken economy, putting Americans back to work and strengthening national security.”

Apart from disclosing that his client alleged more than one incident, Bennett’s remarks added little of substance to a controversy that erupted nearly a week ago.

“She made a complaint in good faith about a series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances from the CEO” of the restaurant organization, he said.

In a statement late in the day, Dawn Sweeney, the trade group’s current CEO, said Cain had disputed the allegations at the time they were made. She also said the organization was willing to waive a confi-

dentiality agreement the woman signed when she left her job, a concession that a spokeswoman later said would not necessarily apply to any other former employee.

Cain has contended an internal investigation at the time of the complaint showed no evidence of improper conduct by him, but Sweeney did not address that issue.

Bennett’s comments to reporters outside his law office came as Cain was making a concerted effort to show he would no longer allow the controversy to dominate his unlikely challenge for the GOP presidential nomination.

The candidate drew cheers of support Friday from conservative activists as he delivered a speech focused on the U.S. economy. He is trying to convert his meteoric rise in opinion polls into a campaign organization robust enough to compete with Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and other rivals in early primary and caucus states.

In an appearance before the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, the career businessman pitched his trademark 9-9-9 economic program and referred only elliptically to the controversy that has overshadowed his campaign in recent days. “I’ve been in Washington all week, and I’ve attracted a little bit of attention,” he said to knowing laughter from his audience.

Not everyone sounded ready to let it fade.

In Georgia, the state party chairwoman, Sue Everhart, said, “I think he has to completely put it behind him or it will continue to be a problem. He’s got to do the housekeeping duties and clean this up.”

Dear Allies: Let’s go Dutch A perceived decline in “national greatness” haunts Americans of all political persuasions. Many equate it with the drop in our superpower status. But others ask, “Are the costs of perpetually commanding the high ground worth it?” Money we spend defending the world, others spend building fast trains. In the past, countries suffering economic seizure went straight to our ER because we were deemed the only country strong enough to save them — and ensure everyone’s financial stability. Things have changed.

A crisis-ridden Europe is now knocking on China’s door, not ours.

America’s cupboard is bare, as China’s overflows. So it is now up to China to bail out European banks.

And as the Chinese demand tough concessions in return, Europeans will send their resentments to the complaint department in Beijing.

The Greek prime minister’s call for a referendum on a new debt deal with foreign lenders sent global markets into a dive. When a reporter asked White House press secretary Jay Carney for an official response, he said, “It is a European problem that needs to be addressed, and they have the capacity to do it.”

Sort of like Dad telling Junior that he has great confidence in the kid’s ability to do his own homework. In other words, do it yourself.

President Obama is, of course, attending the Group of 20 economic meeting in Cannes, France. We can expect him to give Europeans a pep talk and wish them good luck. Way to go.

When Moammar Gadhafi seemed set to massacre Libyan dissidents, Europeans were especially keen to stop him. Obama basically said: “Good idea. You go first.” His famous phrase — that America would “lead from behind” — rankled conservative hawks who prefer to stick their chests out, George W. Bush-style, and tell the world what’s what.

Being one of several in a coalition was somehow demeaning.

But even in Libya, America was more equal than the others. NATO

took command of the air war, but soon ran out of bombs. Other countries expected that the United States would take over the hard and expensive jobs.

This time, the American response was not just a shrug and a “gosh, guess we’re the only ones that can do it.” Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates complained that only a handful of NATO countries spent real money on defense, and none came close to us. In 2010, the U.S. allocated 5.4-percent of its gross domestic product to the military, twice what No. 2 Britain did and three or four times what the others provided.

In his most pointed remark, Gates said that some NATO members were “apparently willing and eager for American taxpayers to assume the growing security burden left by reductions in European defense budgets.” Why wouldn’t they be?

Our unilateralists have been happy to pick up the bills, quickly depositing checks in the military-industrial complex. As a less-super power, America can insist on going Dutch.

Obama is withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq on schedule. Though it was the Bush administration’s schedule, the usual suspects are accusing him of turning the country over to Iran.

What it will do is turn Iraqis’ ire away from us. When the electricity doesn’t work or some creep sets off a car bomb, Iraqis won’t blame the U.S. for not providing adequate utility or security services. And no longer able to manipulate anti-U.S. sentiment, Iranians will have to face the fact that Iraqis generally hate them.

America remains the most super of powers, but a little less dominion over all could lead to a stronger fiscal house and better conditions at home. There are several ways, after all, to measure superiority.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

Republicans lawmakers have sold their souls to Grover Norquist To the editor, Another part of President Obama’s job bill was defeated on November 3 by the party of No. This part of President Obama’s proposal included $50-billion for roads, airports, bridges, railways and other infrastructure and another $10-billion to create a “national infrastructure bank.” The legislation that would have created the bank had bipartisan backing — and the support of both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO. The people that would have been employed would have been the shrinking middle class.

Republicans stopped the bill because it would have been funded

with a 0.7-percent surcharge on people making more than $1-million annually. Republicans have sold their souls to Grover Norquist at the expense of the American people. Please check this fact yourselves. Nearly all of them have signed the pledge never to raise taxes under any circumstances. If they break the pledge, they do not receive funding from GOP Political Action Committees. Wouldn’t you prefer that your representatives signed a pledge to their constituents and not to big corporations and millionaires?

LETTERS In Ward 4, we need to get beyond age & look at bigger issues To the editor, Well Don and Brenda, if “Tourism is our business.. . all year long!” Don’t you think that cleaning up the social decay in the city would benefit our tourism industry. Laconia has great natural beauty with our lakes and views of the mountains, but the rest of the city looks awful. We cannot continue to limp by on natural beauty alone. Take a look at the largest store fronts located at the mouth off Main Street leading into downtown. The parking garage building is almost completely unoccupied and the building across the street houses a Dollar Store and a Rent-A-Center. Make your way on to Union Avenue and there is pawn shop after pawn shop, which besides supporting the influx of crime in the city, do nothing for driving our tourism industry.

Has it occurred to anyone that investing money into our downtown and by playing hardball with landlords would actually make our city look better and in turn benefit our tourism industry? When you go on vacation, don’t you typically pick a place that looks nice and has things for you to do? Detroit and Flint Michigan are near the Great Lakes, but not many people would probably choose to vacation there would they?

Wouldn’t investing money into the Colonial Theater be a great place to start?

It is crazy to think that a family driving from Massachusetts for a school vacation

may choose to stay in Laconia instead of driving further up north because Laconia has a theater where they could take their kids to see a show? Is it impossible to think that things like restaurants and stores may be able to open downtown because the Colonial Theater could offer a show every other night of the week and increase the traffic necessary these businesses to survive. How long are we going to continue to allow the farmers market to be the most exciting thing that happens downtown?

Jack Terrill has a MASTERS DEGREE in Community Economic Development. It is amazing to me that so many people are unable see him as a possible asset to the City Council.

Especially considering the problems facing Laconia. If it is impossible for you to envision what the Colonial Theater could do for Laconia, just look what the Verizon Wireless Arena did for Manchester. I understand the Colonial Theater is a much smaller project but it relation to the size of Laconia it is a very fair comparison.

If the comments made about Brenda Baer’s age are weighing into your decision on whether or not to vote for Terrill, I assure you that you need to look beyond this and see the bigger issues. Besides, its not as if age has never been brought up in a political election before.

How pitiful & inappropriate for you to make this front page ‘news’ To the editor, I applaud and support Louisa Simpson for expressing her thoughts on seeing the dead moose’s picture featured on the front page of The Sun. I, too, was very upset to see the picture and found it to be very distasteful.

How pitiful and inappropriate is it that The Sun considers this to be front page news.

I am sure there are many hunters who would take issue with my statement and, for the record, my husband used to hunt, so I have heard all the arguments ad nauseam in favor of hunting. The issue at hand is not whether or not hunting is humane, fair, etc. The issue is that The Sun is a

local newspaper that is seen by tourists and young children. I love New Hampshire and all its quirkiness and would hate to think that this is the take-home image/message we want our state to be know for.

All I ask is if, God forbid, there is a next time The Sun deems it appropriate to display this kind of picture, you consider placing it in a more appropriate section of the paper, such as an accompaniment to an article about hunting. At least those of us who find such “news” distasteful will have ample warning.

LETTERS Brenda has continued Ward 4 tradition of representing all of us To the editor, Come Tuesday, Nov. 8, I will cast my ballot in the city’s municipal election for Brenda Baer.

I have been a resident of Ward 4 for my entire life. I grew up in a family that took elections serious, as I was taught each affects us in a different way. My mother’s 55 years of serve to Ward 4 spoke volumes of her dedication, I came to know, even as a youngster and a young man, City Councilors Papa Whittum, Harry Gove — later, Niel Young and George Farris — and now, Mrs. Baer. Each in their own way, from different walks of life, had roots in the ward, an understanding of each of us and our family’s needs. We were their friends, their neighbors and they knew our families and our neighborhoods. Each cared deeply for this city.

Brenda has continued that Ward 4 tradition of representing us, all of us.

She knows a great deal of us by name.

She has helped many residents, bridging the gap between city departments and her constituents. Many times she has listened to me, each time respectfully, and provided a knowledgeable, timely response. In this age of indifference, she is to be commended for being an activist, caring for the city’s wants and needs within the realm of what is practical and affordable.

As to the comments about age, the Swiss philosopher Henri Amiel wrote: “To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living”.

I hate to coin an old phrase, but it is appropriate: “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.” Please cast your ballot for Brenda Baer. Keep the tradition alive.

I know you will not regret voting for Mark Condodemetraky To the editor, I have known Mark Condodemetraky for several years now. I know him to be a dedicated husband, father of three, and a successful business owner. I know Mark will work hard for all his constituents in Ward 1, as well as ALL of the residents of Laconia. This includes those citizens who live in the Weirs, despite what others may believe.

I am not sure why any Laconian would not want to see the Weirs businesses be prosperous. Mark wants to fight for the Weirs residents who want to see the fire ravaged Wide Open

Saloon taken down so that property can flourish once again and not have another summer go by with it as an eyesore. Mark values and recognizes the Weirs as the gem of Laconia and wants to see tourism grow.

Mark also owns several rental properties in town and receives a hefty tax bill. He will keep taxes in check because he understands the burden people are facing during these tough times. I know that you will not regret voting for Mark Condodemetraky.

Hard work gets results & I’m ready to work hard for Laconia To the editor, My name is Mark Condodemetraky and I am running for the City Council in Ward 1. I am 38 years old, a licensed professional engineer and a licensed insurance producer. I am married with three children.

I am running for Council because there are many issues that we as a community must overcome. Only by long-term planning will we be able to work to solve the issues that are facing us. I do not claim to have all of the answers, however I bring a strong work ethic, high energy and excel-

lent ideas on many issues. Together as a community we can overcome any problem, as long as we have the will to do so, and that starts with identifying our problems and coming up with solutions in a positive constructive way. I believe that hard work gets results, and I am ready to do that for the City of Laconia.

On November 8th, I humbly ask for your vote, so that we can bring a fresh perspective to the City Council and move Laconia forward for the benefit of us all.

Ava Doyle knows Ward 1 will succeed if the whole city does To the editor, It is beyond me why people run for political office on any level. What I see is a stipend, very long hours and abuse, sometimes by the people they work with and the public. But I am thankful that some do.

I would like to give my good friend Ava Doyle a nod, to continue as Ward

1 councilor. She is morally straight and spiritually right, which means she makes her decisions for the city as a whole, knowing Ward 1 will succeed if the city does.

Good luck my friend.

Can we lower our energy consumption? It would lessen the extent of the environmental collapse now in progress. There is information on the Internet about how to save energy.

Sen. Forrester hosts luncheon for First Lady of Texas

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — State Senator Jeanie Forrester hosted a luncheon yesterday for Texas First Lady Anita Perry. A tour of the Golden View Health Center followed.

Mrs. Perry, a registered nurse, is in New Hampshire on behalf of her husband and GOP presidential hopeful Gov. Rick Perry. Forrester, a Meredith Republican, is a freshman senator who is hoping to get as many candidates for the GOP nomination into the Lakes Region as possible for meet and greets with local citizens.

Nearly 50 people, including both Meredith State Reps. Bob Greemore and Collette Worsman were on hand to greet Mrs. Perry, who spoke briefly about her husband dedication to a flat income tax proposal, tort reform and the easing of regulatory burdens he believes are hampering U.S. job growth.

Government doesn’t create jobs,” said the first lady. “Government creates the climate for jobs.”

“We’re trying to create an environment to bring our share of jobs back,” she said citing her husbands record of job creation in his three terms as Texas governor as a measure of his effectiveness as a leader.

While many of the guests, including Greemore, are already on board with the Perry campaign, equally as many, including both Worsman and Forrester, are still “listening and learning” and have not decided on a candidate to back.

Down from Orford was Andy Schweagler and his young son. Schweagler said he said the special thing see next page

UNEMPLOYMENT from page 2 self-employed, found a gain of 277,000 jobs in October and an average of more than 300,000 jobs a month since August.

Some economists took heart because they believe the household survey is better than the employer survey at measuring changes in newer and very small companies.

The Labor Department said the economy added 102,000 more jobs in August and September than first thought. And the ranks of the longterm unemployed, people out of a job for at least six months, fell sharply to 5.9 million.

Those signs further ease fears of a new recession, which had loomed over the economy this past summer.

Europe is wrestling with a debt crisis, however, and even if it dodges catastrophe, a recession there would be a drag on the U.S. economy.

The job market turned consistently negative in February 2008. The nation from preceding page about being in New Hampshire is that “you can’t make your mind up to early” and he was in Meredith to learn more about Gov. Perry.

Phyllis Hamblet of Meredith, Fran Secord of Center Harbor and Helen Heiner of Center Harbor are all still in the listening phase of the campaign.

“This is the good thing about being in New Hampshire,” said Hamblet, who expressed her appreciation to Forrester for hosting an event designed give local people a chance to better know a candidate.

With nearly 50 taking time from

lost jobs for 25 months in a row — almost 8.8 million of them in all. Since then, the economy has only recovered 2.3 million jobs.

The unemployment rate has hovered around 9 percent for more than two years, and the Federal Reserve said this week that it will is not expected to fall significantly through the end of next year.

That means President Barack Obama will almost certainly go before voters next November seeking a second term with the highest unemployment of any sitting president since World War II. Obama, appearing at the G-20 economic summit in Cannes, France, said the U.S. economy is growing “way too slow.” He repeated his call for Republicans in Congress to pass his $447 billion jobs bill, a mix of tax cuts and spending on roads and rail lines.

“There’s no excuse for inaction,” the president said.

the middle of the day, Forrester said she was a little surprised and very pleased at the turnout.

She quipped that she had forgotten to tell her husband about the luncheon and when he came down the stairs from his second floor office, she said he looked at her and asked “who all the people were.”

Forrester said she is not ready to endorse any particular Republican Candidate but sees it as part of her role as District 2 State Senator to bring as many candidates and their families to the Lakes Region.

UNIFIED from page one a semi-final match, earning the team a chance to bring their school a championship during its first year of existence.

Steve Beals, principal of Laconia High School, chairs the NHIAA unified sports committee and coaches his school’s soccer team. He said unified athletics are something he believes in, noting that Laconia will field a unified basketball team this winter and a track team in the spring. “I believe in it because I think public school is for all kids, I believe athletics is part of what whe should provide for all kids.”

For many students with intellectual disabilities, Beals noted, the Special Olympics is the only arena for them to showcase their athletic abilities. While that celebrated event is great for self-esteem and fitness, playing on a school team allows the athletes to feel school pride, develop camaraderie and make friends outside of their usual social groups.

Unified soccer rules are modified for a shorter than regulation field, smaller nets and fewer players. Teams play seven on seven, with a majority of of the players on the field at any given time represent-

ing intellectually disabled portions of the roster. The teams practice once per week and play one game each week.

Cassie Walter, 20 years old, hadn’t played soccer until joining the team this year. She plays goalie, among other positions, and said she’s having “fun.”

She likes going on road trips and looks forward to this winter when she can join the unified basketball team.

Lauren Cox is a special education teacher at the high school and a manager of the unified soccer team. Being on the team enriches lives that can otherwise be monotonous. Her students talk all week about upcoming games or practices, she said. “This is giving them one more thing to look forward to.”

The team has given 16 year-old Amanda Berg a chance to shine. The athletic Berg was on the school’s track team in the spring and has been one of the soccer team’s most prolific scorers. “I never played soccer before,” she said. “I like it when we score, we get points for our team.”

“I really work well with these kinds of kids,” said Mariah Isabelle. When asked why she joined the see next page

Gunstock opening 9,000-foot-long ZipTour attraction on Saturday

GILFORD — After six months of construction and much anticipation, Gunstock Mountain Resort will open the longest ziplines in the Continental U.S. on Saturday, November 5th.

The ZipTour attraction will include five different ziplines and cover almost 9,000 feet. “It is awesome”, said Greg Goddard, general manager at the resort.

“We were out on it today with the final inspection and certification and the ride is incredible, the construction took about six months but was well worth it, as two of the ziplines on the tour will be the longest in the Continental U.S. and the 4th and 6th longest in the world.”

Gunstock’s ZipTour will run year round and the views over the ski area, looking over Lake Winni-

from preceding page team, she answered that there was a time in her life when she felt ostracized. “I used to get bullied a lot, so I help out with kids who get bullied.”

Paul Mahan, a senior, played on both the varisty soccer team and the unified squad this year. He said he joined because Beals asked him to help out and he feels the team is a needed addition to the school.

“It helps out kids who can’t play on regular teams, so they can get involved, so they don’t get left out, and other people, coaches can recognize them.”

Freshmen Shana Jerrier and Rosemarie Therrien are also enthusiastic about the team. Therrien has a cousin with Williams Syndrome, a condition similar to Down’s Syndrome. “I’m playing for her. It’s really fun to help out.”

Jerrier said, “I joined because so many people make fun of these kids. I joined so I could have their backs... These kids are honest and really nice. I’ve learned that everyone has their sportsmanship.

Everyone’s smiling, I love it.”

“Being on this team boosted me up a little bit,” added Therrien. Entering her freshmen year was a time of stress and anxiety. “Being able to come here cleared my stress.”

The team spirit carries over into the school day.

When Therrien passes one of her team mates in the hallway, she said she always gets a big smile and often a hug. “That’s just a good feeling,” she said. “We get an abundance of hugs.”

Asked about his hopes for the championship match today, Beals said, “I’m hoping the kids have fun, they keep their mind and play with sportsmanship.”

Therrien had higher hopes. “I hope they win, that would be really cool.”

“They’d feel so good,” added Jerrier.

pesaukee are awe inspiring. Participants will start this weekend in the Adventure Center where they will check in, sign releases, and be fitted with harnesses. They will then head to a demo zip line to practice with the braking mechanism. After that it’s off to the 451 foot long training zip line.

“This process gets everyone more comfortable with the equipment, as it is unique to zipline experiences” says Pat McGonagle, Gunstock Adventure Center manager. From there its off to the Panorama lift and to the top for the Summit Span. This 251 foot zipline gives you the real experience of the speed potential even though its just 251 feet. The unique ability to engage a brake allows you to travel at up to a 25-percent grade.

From there you take the catwalk to the Recoil Span.

This is the longest zipline in the Continental U.S. and you travel 3,981 feet on one span.

At Gunstock’s ZipTour you are not alone because the lines have been installed in tandem, so you ride down or race the person next to you. The Recoil span at one point is 155 feet off the ground over the ski trails and then cruises to the backside of Pistol coming as close as 15 feet off the ground. “It’s a truly unique experience” says Bill Quigley, director of Marketing and Sales. “I did the summit for the first time today, and can’t wait to get back up there” You get to the last span by a quick walk across the trail at the top of the Pistol Lift and then take a 3,809 foot zipline to the base while crossing the Terrain Park, parking lot and pond at the base before landing on a huge deck. The entire tour for a group of 12 will be somewhere over 2 hours and is priced

at just $65. Due to the limited number of people that can go per hour reservations are recommended. For information head to www.gunstock.com or call 603737-4388 to make reservations.

County expecting to run big enough surplus to give $6.1M back to taxpayers over 2 years & still have $4.4M reserve

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

d D is co u n te A ll G o w n s ! y rr a C d C a sh a n

LACONIA — With prudent fiscal policies the Belknap County Commission has maintained county services while stabilizing the county property tax rate and sustaining a sufficient fund balance.

Between 2004 and 2008 the undesignated fund balance —or “rainy day fund” — which is accrued from revenue in excess of projections and appropriations authorized but unexpended, shrank from $6.7-million to $4-million. County Administrator Debra Shackett said yesterday that although there are no guidelines or statutes bearing on the relationship of the fund balance to the operating budget, the commissioners grew concerned. Since the county collects taxes only once a year and, unlike municipalities, cannot adjust its revenue estimates after the budget is adopted, she said that a robust fund balance is needed to ease pressure on cash flow and CENSUS from page one Hampshire — Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson, Merrimack Londonderry and Hampton — have comparable numbers of housing units to Laconia, but all, with the exception of Hampton, have significantly larger official populations.

In 2010, there were 10,625 units and 20,779 people in Portsmouth, 9,719 units and 23,409 people in Keene, 9,212 units and 24,467 people in Hudson, 9,818 units and 25,494 people in Merrimack, 8,771 units and 24,149 people in Londonderry and 9,921 units and 15,430 people in Hampton.

Among the six municipalities only Hampton compares closely with Laconia since seasonal homes represent a significant share of the housing stock in both communities. In fact, in terms of housing characteristics Hampton and Laconia are virtual mirror images of another.

Hampton has 9,921 units and Laconia 9,879, a difference of 42. Hampton has 6,868 occupied units and Laconia 6,838, a difference of 30. Hampton has 3,053 vacant units and Laconia 3,041, 12 more than Laconia. Hampton has 2,221 seasonal units and Laconia 2,293, a difference of 72. Seasonal homes represent 22.4-percent of the housing units in Hampton and 23.2-percent of the units in Laconia. And the popula-

meet unforeseen expenditures.

Shackett said that by applying prudent revenue estimates and closely controlling expenses, the fund balance has been replenished and is projected to reach $6.1-million by the end of 2011, after applying $3.1-million to reduce the tax burden.

Finance Director Glen Waring told the commissioners this week that he anticipated excess revenues and unexpended appropriations in 2012 to reach $1.4-million, increasing the fund balance to $7.5-million. He said that the commission could again apply $3.1-million against the tax rate and close 2012 with a fund balance of $4.4-million, or 15-percent of the total budgeted appropriation for the year.

Meanwhile, the county tax commitment, or total amount to be raised by taxes, dropped from $14.3-million in 2010 to $14-million in 2011, a decrease of 1.82-percent, and is projected to rise only 0.6-percent to $14,2-million in 2012.

tion of Hampton is 15,430, 161 more than Laconia.

“Hampton seems to blow my argument to hell,” Erickson admitted, only to quickly add that “they’re in the same boat as Laconia.” He said that the call volume of the Hampton Fire Department per resident and per fire fighter was among the very highest in the state — with Laconia close behind — indicating that both departments served a larger population than reported by the census, at least during the warmer months.

The difference between Hampton and Laconia, Erickson said was that there the bulk of the seasonal homes are genuinely seasonal, boarded and vacant in the fall and winter. By contrast, he said most of the seasonal homes in Laconia are habitable throughout the year. “There is nothing seasonal about these seasonal homes,” Erickson said.”We don’t know when they are occupied and when they are empty,” he continued, suggesting that a much larger share of seasonal homes in Laconia are occupied during the fall and winter than in Hampton.

In effect, Erickson discounts the impact of seasonal homes on Laconia’s population, which he believes approximates those of municipalities with a comparable number of total housing units. He pointed out that towns with populations comparable to the 15,591 reported for Laconia, like Milford, Exeter and Goffstown, have fewer than 7,000 housing units. For instance, Gofftown’s population is 13-percent higher than Laconia’s with only 64-percent of its housing units.

“Something is wrong with those numbers,” Erickson said of the census. “Something is wrong with those numbers.”

Common games seen as important tools for helping youngsters develop math skills

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For many American students, studying math is a form of cruel and unusual punishment, so much so that in recent polls 68-percent of children say that they hate math with a passion.

But it doesn’t have to be that way says Professor Mahesh Sharma of Mathematics for All, who has been working with the Laconia School District for the last two years to design strategies to improve the mathematics curriculum and instruction at all levels.

He told a group of parents and students at the Laconia Middle School Thursday night that math is a unique subject in that unlike reading, where once the fundamentals are mastered self-learning is possible, math requires someone to help students learn every time a new number system, such as division and fractions is introduced.

Sharma, a native of India, says that in 43 years in America he has yet to meet a teacher whose class completed the entire yearly grade level math curriculum.

And that’s due to a many factors, the most important of which may be that in any given class 28-percent of the students are at least two years behind the level they are expected to have reached.

“The teachers have to do a lot of pickup throughout the year because the fundamentals haven’t been mastered. And unless they are, students won’t be able to deal with more complex math. They may master procedure, but without understanding concepts they’ll have trouble with Algebra and have reached a plateau they can’t get beyond,’’ says Sharma.

He says that even parents who feel they have limited math skills can still help their children by playing with them with games and toys that help their children develop the so-called anchoring skills which Condo Assoc., Mobile Home Parks House Lots, Land Clearing, Island Work Big or Small We Cut Them All!

he says are best acquired in non-mathematical settings and are crucial to mathematical learning.

“Games involving playing cards, dominoes and dice bring all these skills together,’’ says Sharma, who says that board games are also of great value to educators as an effective way of engaging students.

“Using games facilitates a great learning atmosphere because students just think they’re having fun,” says Sharma, who says that the third grade is a critical age for most students when it comes to math.

He says that commercially available games like Master Mind are an excellent means of developing pattern recognition, visual memory and deductive thinking for children. Others like Simon, Mini Wizard and Battleship are also very useful.

Old-fashioned board games like checkers, Parcheesi, Chinese checkers, card games and dominos are also good teaching devices.

While these games are highly motivational and can break classroom routines Sharma says they shouldn’t be used simply to occupy children’s time but should be goal oriented for skill development.

Lauren Streifer, academic coordinator at Laconia High School, says that the skill building techniques Sharma has been bringing to the school district have already had an impact in the classroom.

He spent several days in the schools this week and will return again in February and April for similar efforts. He is the founder and president of the Center for Teaching/Learning of Mathematics of Wellesley and Framingham, Mass., and the former president and professor of mathematics education at Cambridge College in Cambridge, Mass.

GILFORD from page one Enforcement was conducting a complete investigation of the alleged activities at the club and expects his lead investigator Kirk Hart to be finished within a week.

He said Hart has received official complaints, arrest reports, evidence, evidence tags and other materials from members of the N.H. Drug Task Force who led the drug-related raid on the club on Oct. 18.

Edwards didn’t know if or when Hart would interview other law enforcement officers present at the raid, including the Gilford Police, who participated in the operation that netted three dancers — two on drug charges — and members of the Belknap County Special Operations Group who held a perimeter or defensive position and, according to Sheriff Craig Wiggin, didn’t enter the building.

Four other people, including two men, were also arrested and charged with a variety of drug sales violations on warrants issued by Gilford Police but executed by police in Holderness, Franklin and Tilton.

One of them was a women who was a dancer at the club but who was not working on Oct. 18 and one was a dancer who club management said had been fired about three weeks before the raid. The two men are alleged patrons.

What Dunn was unable to answer was why the three selectmen accompanied Police Chief Kevin Keenan on the raid, according to the draft minutes of a “special” meeting they held that night, and “inspected the interior of the commercial building at 15 Kimball Road in the midst on the on-going law enforcement activity” “I can not explain why,” Dunn said yesterday

afternoon.

While club owners and management are awaiting the civil fallout from the raid, they have also claimed that police who participated in the exercise caused unnecessary damage to the property by prying open safes and a beer cooler to which they were offered keys, busting a hole in the wall when offered the key to the door, and removing the in-house surveillance system and the ATM machine.

Management also said four undercover police officers ran up a $131 bar tab the night of the raid and paid $300 cash for a private party that brought the dancers they wanted to the club only to take all of the cash from the club and renege on the bar tab.

“They even took the $1 bills (tips) on the dance floor,”said bar manager Meghan Doptis (who was not working on the night of the raid) when she allowed The Daily Sun to interview some of her employees and photograph the damage management said was caused by police.

The criminal charges against the individual dancers and patrons will be handled by either the Gilford Police at the district court level or by the Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen at the superior court level.

Affidavits supporting the arrests of the people and the search of the building were sealed by 4th District Court Judge Jim Carroll for 120 days but Atty.

Mark Sisti has filed a motion on behalf of the Mardi Gras to have them unsealed.

To date, no criminal charges have been filed against any Mardi Gras management or the property owner, Will Drew.

The club’s liquor license, and the entertainment license, are in Drew’s name.

In the end, the Greek question completely derailed Sarkozy’s aim of using the summit to show that Europe had sorted out its debt problem once and for all — and possibly convince some of them to pitch in to the rescue effort.

In the space of days, the already shrunken list of goals set out by France to close out its year as head of the G-20 was scrapped, replaced by a nearly constant stream of shocking new developments and reversals in Europe’s long-running attempt to get see next page

ASTEROID from page 2 marked with craters and holds any water-bearing minerals or even frozen water.

Amateur astronomers would need a 6-inch-or-bigger telescope and know exactly where to look to spot it.

Astronomers consider 2005 YU55 a C-type asteroid — one containing carbon-based materials. “It’s not just a whirling rock like most of them,” Yeomans said.

Such objects are believed to have brought carbonbased materials and water to the early Earth, planting the seeds for life. The discovery of water-bearing minerals or ice would support that theory, Yeomans said.

This is the type of asteroid that NASA would want to aim for, with astronauts, Yeomans said, especially if frozen water is found. Such asteroids could serve as watering holes and fueling stations for future explorers, he said.

An asteroid is actually on NASA’s short list for destinations.

President Barack Obama wants astronauts headed to an asteroid and then Mars in the coming decades.

That’s why the 30-year space shuttle program ceased this summer — so NASA could have enough money to get cracking on these new destinations.

As for an actual strike by an asteroid this size, that’s estimated to occur once every 100,000 years or so.

An asteroid named Apophis — estimated to be 885 feet across — will venture extremely close on April 13, 2029 — but will not strike. It has a remote chance of hitting Earth when it comes around again on April 13, 2036.

Scientists said information gleaned from 2005 YU55, as well as other asteroids, will prove useful if and when it becomes necessary to deflect an incoming Armageddon-style rock.

MURDER from page 3 the grim discovery.

Camden died of asphyxiation, according to a medical examiner, who also noted red blotches around his eyes and a bruise on one cheek.

Based on Gove’s descriptions, McCrery and her truck were spotted at a Massachusetts truck stop.

Morrell said when she was told about the effort to identify the little boy found dead in Maine, McCrery told a police officer, “Yes, that’s my boy.”

When Judge Nadeau asked McCrery if she was pleading guilty because she is guilty, McCrery answered softly, “Yes I am.”

McCrery appeared calm throughout the hearing as she answered the judge’s questions, wearing handcuffs shackled to a waist belt. Her father, Claude Hughes and brother, Christopher Hughes, attended the plea hearing but refused to comment, leaving the courthouse stoically.

“Today is really a difficult day for the McCrery and Hughes families,” Morrell said outside court. “They are mourning the loss of Camden and struggling with how he died, at the hands of his mother.”

“Today, we have justice for Camden,” Morrell said.

Texas public records show that McCrery was arrested at least twice on prostitution charges and from preceding page control of Greece’s debt crisis.

That reality was perhaps best illustrated at the height of the summit Thursday evening, when hundreds of journalists dropped what they were doing in the basement of Cannes’ Palais des Festivals and gathered around television screens to watch a live transmission from the Greek parliament in Athens, where Prime Minister George Papandreou was speaking.

once for possession with intent to distribute drugs.

In 2009, she was sentenced to one year in prison for a misdemeanor conviction of prostitution. In 2004, she was sentenced to three years of probation for a felony conviction of possession of a controlled substance.

Law enforcement authorities and friends have portrayed McCrery as a loving but troubled mother whose mood swings often prompted her to take lengthy road trips.

A lawyer who represented her at a brief court appearance in Massachusetts has said he got the impression from McCrery that her intent was to take her son’s life and then kill herself. But Morrell said text messages to a new boyfriend in Texas that McCrery sent from the Chelmsford rest area implied she thought otherwise.

“That she maintained contact with the school and offered an excuse for Camden’s absence suggests she intended to return to Texas,” Morrell said.

Groupon sizzles in stock debut but worries linger NEW YORK (AP) — Groupon’s stock sizzled in its public debut Friday despite concerns about its accounting practices ahead of an initial public offering and doubts about the viability of its business model.

The first-day pop for the pioneer of online group discounts was largely expected, though. Not even a gain of about $4 billion in market value — to nearly $17 billion — could erase lingering questions about its long-term prospects.

In fact, it may have added to them.

Bigger than IPOs for Internet radio company Pandora Inc. and professional network LinkedIn Corp., Groupon’s debut served as an icebreaker for a frozen IPO market.

It further sets the stage for the public debut of online game company Zynga Inc., which is expected in the next few weeks. It’ll culminate next year, with the expected IPO of Facebook, one dwarfing them all.

After pricing above its expected range on Thursday, at $20, Groupon’s stock rose $6.11, or 31 percent, to close Friday at $26.11. Earlier in the day, it traded as high as $31.14.

Still, analysts remain worried about the risks con-

cerning the company, especially as the stock price increases.

“Until investors see the full profit model unfold over time, expect this stock to be highly volatile,” said Kathleen Shelton Smith, principal of Renaissance Capital, which operates IPOhome.com. “The first day of trading is typically more about supply and demand. Fundamentals will take over in the long run.”

Groupon makes money by sending out frequent emails to subscribers offering a chance to buy discount deals for anything from laser hair removal to weekend getaways. The company takes a cut of what people pay and gives the rest to the merchant.

Because the model is easy to replicate, it has spawned many copycats after its 2008 launch, from startups such as LivingSocial to established companies such as Google Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. (which incidentally runs its deals through LivingSocial).

Groupon has the advantage of being first. This has meant brand recognition and investor demand, as evidenced by its strong public debut.

Meredith Rotary Club Gearing up for 20th annual Christmas dinner MEREDITH — The Meredith Rotary Club will host the 20th Annual Senior Christmas Dinner on Sunday, December 4, at Interlakes Elementary School. Senior citizens over 55 years of age from Meredith, Moultonborough, Center Harbor, and Sandwich are invited to reserve a seat for the occasion.

“The Senior Christmas Dinner is always a fun day that is completely free of charge for all participants,” says Angela Webster, chairman of the event.

Since 1991, the Meredith Rotary Club has provided a full course turkey dinner, raffle prizes, entertainment, gift bags and a visit from Santa Claus for this much anticipated celebration.

Last December 300 people attended the event. The full course dinner, which is provided and served by the Meredith Rotary Club, will be pre-

pared by Hart’s Turkey Farm Restaurant of Meredith.

“Some of the holiday treats packaged in the gift bag for each guest will include jams and jellies from John Moulton of Moulton Farms, a holiday ornament, and a festive holiday plant from the Meredith Rotary Club,” said Webster. Additionally, there will be many holiday items included in the Christmas raffle. Music and entertainment will be provided by Maureen Salvoni and Ron Chase, who have worked with the Rotary for several years at the Senior Dinner.

Reservations are required for dinner, as seating is limited to 300 people. Service is on a first-come, firstserved basis for available seats, with dinner to be served at noon. To make reservations, contact the Meredith Rotary Club at 279-7600 beginning November 1.

Robert Kuttner to talk about income inequality at PSU

PLYMOUTH — Robert Kuttner, cofounder and coeditor of The American Prospect, will discuss “Income Inequality in the U.S.: What Are the Facts, What Difference Does it Make and What Can Be Done About It?” as part of the Saul O Sidore Lecture Series at Plymouth State University at 7 p.m. on Robert Kuttner (Courtesy Monday, November 7 in photo) the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts.

According to Kuttner, the “equal society” of late 20th century America was socially constructed by policies deliberately pursued during the 1930s and 1940s. He says, “These policies included public investment, social insurance, educational opportunity and empowered trade unions. In the 1960s, antipoverty, civil rights and medical insurance for the elderly were added. The policies of that era also tightly regulated finance. As these policies were reversed, so was the egalitarian income distribution.

The financial collapse and ensuing recession—the result of deregulation—only exacerbated a threedecade inequality trend. To restore a more equal

distribution of income, opportunity and wealth, we need to rebuild a managed form of market economy.”

Kuttner cofounded The American Prospect magazine in 1989 with Paul Starr and Robert Reich.

He is also a distinguished senior fellow at Demos, a nonpartisan public policy research and advocacy organization. A longtime columnist for Business Week, Kuttner writes columns for the Boston Globe and the New York Times international edition. He cofounded the Economic Policy Institute in Washington and serves on its executive committee.

Kuttner’s most recent book is A Presidency in Peril, about “[President] Obama’s Promise, Wall Street’s Power, and the Struggle to Control our [U.S.] Economic Future.”

This year’s Sidore Lecture Series focuses on the growing gap between the world’s rich and poor. The speakers hope to inspire audiences to think about the various forms of poverty that plague societies around the world, while sharing concrete solutions.

The next speaker in the series will be sociology, anthropology and criminology professor Paul Leighton, speaking on “The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison: Inequality, Corporate Power and Crime.”

Leighton will speak at 7 p.m. on March 12.

The Saul O Sidore Lecture Series was established at PSU in 1979 to bring a variety of speakers to the university each year to address the critical political, social and cultural issues and events of our time.

Free tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth State University Department of Art Visiting Artist Series will present Loretta Barnett, professor of art and gallery director at Colby-Sawyer College, from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8 in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center.

There is no charge for admission.

Barnett will talk about and give a visual presentation of her work. She says, “My art works are layered with meanings. I have always been interested in objects that are formally sound, employ conceptrelevant technical skill, and explore the myriad

state of affairs of life. I am absorbed in the process and evolution of an idea; therefore, I, too, am a constant witness. Each piece describes a possible state or circumstance; in my most recent work the situations have evolved from my interest in exploring the concept of the rule of law.”

The visiting artist initiative expands the Department of Art tradition of bringing fine artists and graphic designers to PSU during the academic year, and for extended summer workshops at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis allies. This will happen slowly, over time. But you’re planting all the right seeds now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Bluntness is part of your charm. The stronger people around you can appreciate your honesty and good intentions, regardless of how your expressions land.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll take great pleasure in watching someone grow up. You’ll have a concrete example of how far this person has come in the time you’ve known each other.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your luck will be uncanny. True, this mostly centers on small details, but it’s still quite heartening. You’ll find something you thought was lost for good.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You note how stubborn pride has gotten in the way of other people’s dealings, and you vow not to make the same mistake.

You want to make beautiful music with someone, and so you’ll do what it takes to harmonize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want answers, and you’ll persist until you get them. You know better than to keep asking the same question the same way, though. You’ll be as sly as a detective.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 5).

You’ll pay your debts and your dues and step into an exciting new level of power. Loved ones push you to be your best in December, and you’ll effectively split your time between responsibilities and desires. You’ll get in on a good deal in January. Family additions revive the spirit in March. Aquarius and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 14, 3, 7 and 28.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Art is not an indulgence. It’s an imperative.

Art will take you to places you’ve never been and leave you breathless in admiration of the amazing craftsmanship and imaginative genius it took to create it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will attempt to resolve a dispute through reasonable discussion, and you’ll be most effective. You could even be asked to mediate for another group trying to work things out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Uncomplicated friendships are favored. Consider that the one who seems to prefer a passionate entanglement to a breezy bond is going to be more trouble than you have time for.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be choosing the right goal, one that is well defined and imminently doable.

You’ll recognize such a goal when you can explain it clearly to anyone who asks and see comprehension registered in the other person’s face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your leisure time is precious, and yet you’ll spend it giving back something to your loved ones and/or community. This turns out to be the very best and most fun use of your time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be fascinated with the way things and people work. You’ll observe, ask questions and experiment to deepen your understanding. You won’t get to the bottom of it today, but this will be a mighty fine start.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You command respect, gain authority and impress the opposition. It’s all part of your plan to turn your competition into

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My cousin “Kelly” went from a rotten marriage to a horrible relationship, with no break in between.

During this past year, her boyfriend has cheated, lied and threatened her. I was her shoulder to cry on and finally had too much and told her how stupid the whole situation was.

This guy doesn’t love her. He uses her. He has nowhere else to go because he pays so much child support for the four children he has from different women that he has nothing left to live on. Kelly feels sorry for him.

Unfortunately, now that I’ve told her exactly what everyone else in our family was saying behind her back, I’m the bad guy, and no one is speaking to me. There is a family graduation coming up, and we all will be together. Do I act like nothing happened or, better yet, tell them all to grow up?

I don’t want to cause problems for the graduate, but this is ridiculous. What do you propose? -- The West Dear West: Honesty is not always the best policy, especially when it accomplishes nothing but hurt feelings. It obviously felt good to get this off your chest, but it cost you. Telling all the relatives to “grow up” will cost you a little more. There are diplomatic ways to get your point across, and if you don’t want to alienate the entire family and ruin the graduation, you might try utilizing some of them. Start with, “I’m so sorry I created a rift. I was simply exhausted from listening to Kelly, and I took it out on her. Please forgive me.”

Dear Annie: Several months ago, I lost the love of my life.

We were in the Caribbean for my son’s wedding when a blood clot made its way to her heart and lungs, and in seven minutes, the woman I had been married to for 33 years was dead on the streets of Nassau.

Once back home, my friends and family surrounded me.

One by one, they asked me to their homes for good food and caring company. During two of these visits, however, the hosts turned to me with straight faces and said they “knew what I was going through” because they each went through a divorce. I could not believe my ears. How could they compare a divorce with the death of a beloved spouse? When I attended group grief counseling sessions, several in the group mentioned they had heard similar remarks.

I am here to scream out loud that in no way is a divorce anywhere close to the death of a loved one. No matter the amount of pain, you can see your divorced spouse if you want to, maybe even reconnect someday. I will never, ever be able to touch or see my love again. Death is forever. -- The Saddest Man in the World Dear Sad: Our deepest condolences on your loss. Your wellmeaning friends and relatives do not intend to minimize your grief, which is considerable. They are simply trying to connect with the pain of being alone. But you are right -- these things are not the same. We appreciate your telling our readers to be careful not to make such comparisons in their efforts to empathize.

Dear Annie: “Unhappy 80-Year-Old Woman” rightly gave power of attorney to one of her children when she was ill, but then the child sold her belongings and still controls her money and her mail. Please tell her she has the right to revoke that power of attorney or grant a limited power of attorney.

This is a form of elder abuse, intentional or not. -- D.N. in Toledo Dear Toledo: Thank you for the excellent suggestion.

Dear Readers: Don’t forget to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms when you set your clocks back one hour.
