OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — The Iraq War veteran injured during a clash between police and anti-Wall Street protesters wasn’t taking part in the demonstrations out of economic want.

Scott Olsen, 24, makes a good living at a software company and rents a hillside apartment with views of San Francisco Bay. And yet, his friends say, he felt so strongly about economic inequality in the country that he fought for that he slept at a San Francisco protest camp after work.

“He felt you shouldn’t wait until something is affecting you to get out and do something about it,” said friend and roommate Keith Shannon, who served with Olsen in Iraq.

It was that feeling that drew him to Oakland on Tuesday night, when the clashes broke see OLSEN page 10

BRUSSELS (AP) — The excruciating work of inking a deal to contain their twoyear debt crisis over, European leaders turned Thursday to a potentially more difficult task: implementing the agreement that asks banks to take on bigger losses on Greece’s debts and hopes to boost the region’s arsenal against market turmoil.

World stock markets surged Thursday on the news that the leaders had clinched a deal that everyone hopes will keep the currency union from unraveling and prevent the crisis from pushing Europe and much of the developed world back into recession.

But analysts were more cautious, noting that the deal remains vague and its success hangs on the details.

In the pre-dawn hours of Thursday, after the deal was unveiled, leaders claimed victory. But by evening, they were cautioning that their work has only begun.

“I think that yesterday we found a good overall package for the next stage, but I think that we still have many more stages to go,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters in Berlin.

Cracks were already showing not even 24 hours after the deal. In an interview on French television channels TF1 and France-2, President Nicolas Sarkozy defended the deal as necessary to save the eurozone, but took a dig at Greece.

“It was an error” to let Greece join the monetary union in 2001, he said, during

the interview aimed at explaining the agreement to the French public.

“Its economy was not ready to take on an integration into the eurozone,” he said.

Earlier Thursday, Sarkozy called his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao and pledged to cooperate to revive global growth.

There was no word on whether Beijing might contribute to Europe’s bailout fund.

Sarkozy said in his interview Thursday night that he would welcome any investment, but that Europe didn’t need China to save it.

“The proof is that we saved it without the Chinese,” he said.

The fund’s chief executive is due to visit see DEBT page 11

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lawyers for Michael Jackson’s doctor sought to shift blame Thursday to another doctor and a drug different from the anesthetic that killed the star, calling an expert to testify that Jackson was addicted to a Demerol in the months before his death.

They suggested the singer’s withdrawal from the painkiller triggered the insomnia that Dr. Conrad Murray was trying to resolve when he gave Jackson the anesthetic propofol.

Murray’s attorneys claim the ultimate blame lies with Jackson himself, but they also sought to implicate his dermatologist in the drug-laced path to his June 2009 death.

Late in the day, they called to the stand a top expert on the anesthetic propofol. Dr. Paul White is expected to cast doubt on a colleague’s earlier testimony that Murray was responsible for Jackson’s death. He returns to the stand Friday.

Court recessed before White gave his central opinion. He did say he was “perplexed” after reading documents in the case about whether Murray administered the propofol dose that killed Jackson.

He noted that Murray described to police a very low dose of the drug. If that was true, White said, “I would not have expected Michael Jackson to have died.”

White said if Murray did in fact put

Jackson on an IV drip of propofol and leave him unattended, he could not justify it.

White did not immediately offer an alternate theory of what happened.

Authorities contend Murray delivered the lethal dose and botched resuscitation efforts.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s death.

There was no mention of propofol during the testimony of Dr. Robert Waldman, an addiction expert who said he studied the records of Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson’s longtime dermatologist, in concluding the star was dependent on Demerol. Records showed Klein used Demerol on Jackson see JACKSON page 12

Obama administration NH House Committee backs video slot machines CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Abandoning its traregulatory structure, proliferation and the impact renews solar energy push ditional opposition to gambling, a House commiton our quality of life,” Lynch said after the commitWASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Thursday identified 17 sites in six Western states as prime candidates for solar energy projects on public lands, continuing a push for solar power despite the high-profile bankruptcy of a solar panel maker that received a half-billion dollar federal loan.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said the latest “Solar Energy Zones” refine and improve on a draft released in December that identified two dozen areas in California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

Five sites in Nevada, four in Colorado, three in Utah, two each in California and Arizona, and one in New Mexico were identified as ideal for solar development.

The sites comprise 285,000 acres, down from about 677,000 acres in December, and reflect the department’s judgment that the targeted land has the highest potential for solar development with the fewest environmental conflicts.

The plan is intended to promote development of large, utility-scale solar projects on public lands that will generate thousands of megawatts of electricity.

The zones are intended to maximize electricity generation while minimizing conflicts with wildlife and cultural and historic resources.

Salazar called the announcement a “giant step forward” as officials step up efforts to promote solar power, particularly in the West.

The administration’s push for renewable energy has come under attack since California-based Solyndra Inc. closed its doors two month ago after receiving a $528 million federal loan. The company declared bankruptcy and laid off its 1,100 workers.

The new plan, which is subject to a 90-day public comment period, “establishes for the first time a blueprint for landscape-level planning that will help facilitate smarter siting of solar energy projects,” Salazar said in a conference call with reporters.

It also proposes to open an additional 20 million acres of public land to future solar development.

Environmental groups hailed the announcement, but the solar industry was guarded in its response.

Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said he had “some significant areas of concern” about the solar energy zones Flexibility in project siting and access to transmission were crucial to financing and development of utility-scale solar power plants, Resch said, adding that he was optimistic a balanced approach could be found.

tee voted Thursday to back legalizing two casinos equipped with video slot machines in New Hampshire, possibly signaling a change of heart in the chamber.

The Ways and Means Committee voted 14-7 to recommend that the full House consider the bill early next year. The House traditionally has rejected expanded gambling proposals, but Thursday’s committee vote could indicate the Republican majority is prepared to support video slots.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt said the committee recognized the need for New Hampshire to act in light of the Massachusetts Legislature’s recent vote to approve casinos. Bettencourt did not predict if the House would support the bill.

“We haven’t begun to get a sense of the House,” he said.

If it passes the House, the bill still would need the support of the Senate. And Democratic Gov. John Lynch has not been receptive to expanding gambling.

“I have serious concerns about expanded gambling in New Hampshire. I have concerns about a lack of

tee vote. He said he has not reviewed the bill acted on by the committee but that his general concerns about gambling have not changed.

State Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, who has sponsored numerous bills to legalize casinos, said he could not remember a House committee supporting expanding gambling in recent memory.

“It’s a long time coming,” he said.

Massachusetts lawmakers have passed bills that call for three resort-style casinos and one slots parlor that would draw gamblers from New Hampshire.

The New Hampshire proposal calls for the Lottery Commission to grant two $50 million licenses two years apart for casinos that would offer slot machines and table games. Each casino could install 5,000 video slot machines.

Some of the profits would be used to lower business taxes. Supporters estimate the state’s share could be as much as $200 million a year.

New Hampshire has considered gambling bills almost annually but none have passed. see GAMBLING page 9

Ohio gym teacher convicted in student sex case LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A high school teacher was convicted Thursday of having sex with five students, some of them football players, after an Ohio judge rejected an insanity defense that argued the teens took advantage of her.

Stacy Schuler was sentenced to a total of four years in prison for the encounters with the Mason High School students at her home in Springboro in southwest Ohio in 2010. She can ask a judge to free her from prison after six months.

The 33-year-old Schuler, who could have faced decades in prison, cried as she was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom.

The five teens testified that Schuler, a health and gym teacher, had been drinking alcohol at the time of the encounters and was a willing participant who initiated much of the contact. The teens were about 17 at the time. The age of consent in Ohio is 16, but it’s illegal for a teacher to have sex with a student.

“This is a noble profession that you have, and I’ve heard a lot of good things about you, but I know that you had the opportunity, as all teachers do, to affect the lives of our children,” Warren County Common

Pleas Judge Robert Peeler said. “You crossed a line.”

Schuler’s lawyers argued that she had medical and psychological issues and couldn’t remember the encounters.

Before sentencing Schuler on 16 counts of sexual battery and three counts of providing alcohol to a minor, the judge said it would be a “magnificent leap” to believe she didn’t know her actions were wrong.

Schuler didn’t testify during the four-day nonjury trial, and she and her attorneys declined to address the judge before he sentenced her.

But parents of two of the teen victims made tearful statements.

A father spoke of his son’s depression and lost motivation and said the teen almost didn’t go to college. He asked the judge to hand down a sentence to send a message that Schuler’s acts are not acceptable and there are serious consequences.

“It impacts the teaching community as a whole, how a single teacher who made the wrong decision multiple times overshadows 99.9 percent of the teachers that truly do care, not pretend to care, about their students,” he said.

Mitt Romney’s other problems When asked in a recent Washington Post/Pew Research poll to offer one-word descriptions of the Republican presidential hopefuls, some 30-percent of the respondents said of Mitt Romney: “Mormon.”

Troubling? Sure, and not just for Romney supporters. The extent of open, outspoken discrimination against Mormons — three years after the country elected its first African-American president — is, to me at least, a Democrat who would never vote for him, simply unacceptable. Yet in poll after poll, voters tell surveyors they would have more of a problem with a Mormon candidate, even one from their own party and with whom they agreed, than a Jew or a black, let alone a woman.

Of course it’s wrong. Of course it’s discriminatory. After, what, about six years of running for president, this is what almost one-third of us comes up with to describe Romney in a word? And how many more are politically correct enough to think it but not say it?

But what is so striking about discrimination against Romney’s faith is how many people are absolutely unashamed of their prejudice. In my own informal survey, I’ve found two common explanations.

The first is strictly based on faith: the concern that Mormons hold themselves out as Christians, and yet do not accept the trinity. Neither do I, I said to one president of a religious university. Does that mean you wouldn’t vote for me? He laughed and said not for that reason. “You don’t hold yourself out as a Christian,” he explained. In other words, he would have no occasion to judge me on that basis.

The second explanation, which is easier for me to understand but ultimately no less palatable, goes to what seems (to outsiders) the rather incredible history of Joseph Smith and Mormonism and what that says about someone who believes in it. I’m asked all the time: Have you seen the “South Park” episode on Joseph Smith or the Broadway show? I haven’t seen the Broadway show, but I did see the “South Park” episode, with the crawl at the bottom advising that the story it was telling, about the tablets and the rest, was not made up.

Real thing. Did I believe it all?

No. But then I don’t believe in resurrection, either, which hardly makes people who do unfit for office. I’m not so sure about the

Dead Seas parting, or the burning bush, or the tablets Moses got on Mount Sinai, but I hardly expect to be judged politically by my views on religious faith. So why Mormons?

But “Mormon” is only one of Romney’s problems.

There is also Bain and Company. Back in 1994, when Romney challenged the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, there was a Bain ad that was never used during the campaign. They didn’t need it.

But the ad, which has surfaced on YouTube and elsewhere, is a killer, particularly in this economy: “Mitt Romney says he saved Bain and Company, but he didn’t tell you that on the day he took over, he had his predecessor fire hundreds of employees. Or that the way the company was rescued was with a federal bailout of $10-million.”

That’s the beginning.

Then there’s the ad — which I might have heard about or maybe I just made it up (although I can promise you his opponents will think of it) — that would feature regular people who once worked at Bain and also the working people who lost their jobs after Bain consultants came in and recommended major cutbacks. This is something consultants like Bain often do: They are brought in so management can blame them when the hatchet comes down.

Finally, there’s Massachusetts.

My father was a Massachusetts Republican. Massachusetts Republicans are not like other Republicans. Romney would not have been elected governor otherwise. Scott Brown would not have been elected to the Senate.

My first campaign was for a Massachusetts Republican and an old friend of my father’s: Ed Brooke.

I’m proud of it. But the support of people like me is not what helps Republicans anywhere other than Massachusetts.

One other thing my father taught me: You can’t beat a horse with no horse.

Right now, Romney appears to be the only horse Republicans have. That may be one of the reasons why Barack Obama is beating all of the Republicans combined in terms of fundraising.

LETTERS As a child, my mother told me to hide my German nationality To the editor, At times it seems that the meaning of democracy is slipping away.

As a child during WWII, democracy was spelled with a capital D, Democracy, in our minds. Every day we were reminded in dozens of ways what we were fighting for. I remember gold star pendants newly hanging in windows honoring those who had given their life, and it was for Democracy!

One day I asked my mother what nationality I was because some kids in school were asking everyone. She said rather sharply, “You’re German and don’t tell anyone!” What a shocker that was. How desperately I wanted the Germans to lose so that we might “forget” the war and I might not have to be ashamed of who I was. The subject never came up in school again because probably the majority of my class was also German and we all heard the same thing at home.

However, as a result, I have hung onto the concept of inclusiveness all my life as central to democracy. We are here together in the great experiment of world cultures as a basic development for peoples learning to live together. It is always in progress, never finished, always subject to renewal for each generation. It is something to work for and not to assume finished.

A corollary to inclusiveness is safety. I would like to assume that I will be safe in whatever my beliefs and values are, so long as they do not impinge on others being included and safe in ways that sustain democratic values. The history of democracy always seems to be a gradual inclusion of more and more peoples under the umbrella of inclusiveness and safety: Catholics, African Americans, Irish, Italians, Jews, women, Chinese, Japanese, immigrants and refugees of all peoples of color, differently-abled peoples, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered peoples, and Mormons. As I write this historical list I am aware of how unfinished acceptance is for some on this list. It is not whether I

like or approve of an individual or his or her beliefs, but rather their right to safety, respect, and being included — in Democracy. Can we all live under the same umbrella in our differences?

Along with respect I would add responsibility. Democracy is nothing if we do not share respect and responsibility for making it work. Making it work means we all share in supporting it with the fruits of our talents, education, and work. We do not have a democratic society without everyone paying their fair share. History has taught us that democracy does not work without strong working and middle classes. Because of belief in democratic values and willingness to build a vibrant community, many give of themselves in ways that support the tenets of democracy. As the working and middle classes decline and broad separation grows between the super wealthy and the poor, a stable “middle” is lost. Democratic values and community building falter and wither. Occupy Wall Street is a response to such fears for the future of our democratic society.

I have been excited and appreciative for the response from Laconia and the Lakes Region for the support given by so many individuals, organizations, and agencies which have gone out of their way to welcome newcomers from other cultures to our community. They come excited about being in America and the safety they feel here. They are as eager to learn about democracy as to experience it. Many conversations are shared about life in democracy. All are taken seriously.

Our refugees flee death and humiliation to find acceptance, safety, respect, and responsibility in our community.

I have watched as they have become citizens appreciative for the second chance they were given, now vibrant supporters of Democracy. Welcome to Democracy with a capital D! Carol Pierce, Chair Laconia Human Relations Committee

LETTERS Bike Week visitors come from far and wide and bring their wallets To the editor, The October 18th article titled, “No surprise, Bike week traffic counts remain way off high water marks” cited traffic studies claiming a downward trend in Laconia Motorcycle Week traffic since 2006. I write to encourage your readers to look beyond just traffic counts and see that Bike Week is a vibrant event that contributes significantly to the economic vitality of the region.

Accurately calculating Bike Week traffic has proved challenging for years now. This study recorded total traffic volume which does not specifically count motorcycle traffic. They correctly pointed out that the data wasn’t to be used to approximate how many vehicles or riders attended Bike Week. Also making these counts challenging is that the event is now spread out statewide. While calculating actual traffic to Bike Week is still a work in progress, our research and experience suggests that America’s Original Motorcycle Rally is alive and well.

Motorcycle sales have broken annual records every year since we purchased the dealership — and since 2009 motorcycle sales for Bike Week have grown by 130-percent. This suggests that we are attracting a serious rider with disposable income, which not only benefits our dealership but Lakes Region area businesses.

When we purchased Laconia Harley-Davidson (formerly Meredith Harley-Davidson) in late 2008, we began setting forth a new vision for Bike Week, making a point to focus on many of the positive aspects of Bike Week such as tourism by riders, the generosity of the motorcycle community and rider safety.

During Bike Week we promote New Hampshire’s breathtaking scenery with several guided rides along highways that are nationally ranked for beauty, through historic towns and over covered bridges. We have designed, produced and distributed Ride Guides to get people riding across the state, and have worked

with the New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism on this effort.

We have launched philanthropic initiatives each Bike Week where we announce and begin ticket sales for a bike raffle to benefit a local charity. From the Loon Preservation Committee to the New Hampshire Food Bank, we have collectively raised almost $100,000 for our local community over the last three years. Our next initiative will be announced during Bike Week 2012.

Our marketing investments have expanded online and to smartphone’s to reach more tech-savvy consumers.

These efforts have been strengthened

by Harley-Davidson Motor Company, which selected Laconia Motorcycle Week as one of the three national rallies that it would support with online marketing support, demos and exhibits.

This investment has paid off as our research shows that we source traffic from across the United States and Canada. This year riders from 36 states and six Canadian provinces passed through the doors of our dealership.

Bike Week is not without its challenges. Over the past two years we have competed for rally attendees with the Americade rally in Lake George, New York, which takes place during the first weekend of Laconia Bike Week and draws from a similar geographic population. New England’s unpredictable weather and the economy have also posed challenges.

We can’t control the weather or bickering in Washington but we can put forth our best efforts to deliver an improved event year after year.

So while some may report decreased traffic counts, we are pleased to share that riders who are here are contributing significantly to our local economy.

We need to continue to ensure that the riders experience is a pleasant one, because the more of our friends on two wheels that attend, the more money they will spend in our communities.

Anne Deli, President Laconia Harley-Davidson

My apologies for engaging in verbal warfare with 2 unarmed ladies To the editor, I am writing in response to Hillaire Goldstein’s letter concerning my previous letter to the editor. First Hillaire, thank you for reading the part of my letter you chose to comprehend, while leaving out the most important line concerning your reaction to my words. The rest of your letter reads fairly much in line with my thinking on the matter, as was expressed in my letter. If you had chosen to react in a thoughtful way (ie. reading and comprehending the WHOLE letter) you would have saved yourself much grief. My statement about banning the other offensive writer was SARCASM; perhaps you are one of those folks who needs a writer to label it when it is used? The fact that I followed my sentence that you object to with HOW RIDICULOUS WAS THAT LAST LINE? See what happens Hillaire when you either miss, or chose to miss THE WHOLE letter?

You did however express my feelings in your closing, the very point of my letter was all sides are free to express their opinion, it is people like Louisa

Simpson who want to silence all that they don’t agree with. As further evidence of the emotion over thought debate that has risen is the fact that Louisa even felt the need to attack my newspaper;s Facebook page, just for expressing an opinion that didn’t agree with hers. It is always the liberal causeinspired people like her, and now you Hillaire who escalate the situation. I was content doing as Louisa did and responding as she did, in the pages of The Laconia Sun, it was she who chose to take it a step further. Typical and recognized behavior I assure you. What Ms. Simpson failed to realize, was that when she made the contact via Facebook as she did, it enabled me to follow her info back to the source. Isn’t technology wonderful?

You folks really should make sure you have actual ammo in your weapon before firing, so far all that is coming from you and Louisa is blanks. I apologize for engaging in verbal war with two un-armed ladies.

GILFORD from page one eral members of the town staff, toured the club and then returned to Town Hall to vote to go after the Mardi Gras’ liquor license, which is controlled by a state agency.

Minutes of the non-public session, which were not sealed, said selectmen began their meeting in an emergency session at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall on Oct. 18 and moved to go into a non-public session that included Town Administrator Scott Dunn, Police Chief Kevin Keenan, Fire Chief Steve Carrier, Code Enforcement Officer Dave Andrade, and Health Officer Sheldon Morgan.

“The board then met with Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin, followed by Liquor Enforcement Officer Lt. Jim Wilson, followed by the commander of the N.H. Drug Task Force James Norris,” read the revised draft minutes that were made available yesterday by Dunn.

The draft minutes go on to say that the three selectmen, Chair John O’Brien, Vice Chair Gus Benavides and Clerk Kevin Hayes got into a police car driven by Keenan and went to the access road to the Laconia Airport where they “witnessed the organization and staging of a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement operation pursuant to a search warrant at 15 Kimball Road.”

At 8:45 p.m. selectmen, still accompanied by Keenan, went to the parking lot at the Mardi Gras and “witnessed the execution of the search warrant...”

At about 9:30 p.m. draft minutes indicate selectmen completed “a walk through” of the Mrdi Gras along with Keenan, Dunn, Andrade, Carrier and Morgan “in the midst of the on-going law enforcement activity.”

At about 10 p.m. selectmen returned to Keenan’s police car and were driven back to Town Hall. After getting back to town hall, Benavides made a motion to send a letter to the N.H. Liquor Commission requesting an immediate temporary suspension and permanent revocation of the liquor license held by property owner Williard Drew.

The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m.

In addition to the request to the liquor commission, a public safety report noted a number of code violations detailed in a report prepared by Gilford Fire Inspector Dana Pendergast two days after the raid.

On Wednesday, selectmen met at their regular bi-

monthly meeting and set a date to discuss revoking the Mardi Gras’s live entertainment permit — the only permit directly under the control of the town — for November 9.

In addition, Nancy Shea of the N.H. Liquor Bureau of Enforcement said yesterday the hearing prompted by the selectmen’s petition to them for the license suspension and revocation is scheduled for November 7 at 2 p.m. in the Commissioner’s Officer at 50 Storrs Drive in Concord.

N.H. Assistant Attorney General Ann Rice said yesterday that she was aware the N.H. Drug Task Force was conducting an operation in the Lakes Region but was not aware of the specifics.

When asked who has the authority to call for SWAT assistance she said it would either be the police chief in the appropriate community or the commander of the N.H. Drug Task Force, Jim Norris.

Some people who were at the Mardi Gras that evening said the amount of damage and force used during the raid was unnecessary.

In the club that night, in addition to undercover police, were four female dancers — three were arrested on a variety of drug sales charges and outstanding warrants — a bartender and door security person who were not arrested, and five patrons, who were also not arrested.

To date, four other people have been arrested by police in Holderness, Tilton and Franklin for their alleged roles in selling drugs in or around the club.

Only one of the four was a dancer while a second woman from Franklin had been a dancer who club management said was fired about three weeks before the raid.

Club Manager Autumn Ylvisaker and Bar Manager Meghan Doptis (who was not at the club the night of the raid) have said N.H. State Police SWAT team members and other police caused a considerable amount of physical damage to the inside of the club, including prying open safes and an external beer cooler when offered the keys, removing the ATM and the clubs surveillance system and putting a hole in a wall to see what was on the other side.

Keenan has said Ylvisaker did not make the keys available when she was asked for them. He also said a gun that had been previously reported stolen was found in one of the office safes.

No weapons charges have been filed against anyone connected to the Mardi Gras, so far.

The Daily Sun has also learned members of the Belknap County Special Operations Group, led by Sheriff Craig Wiggin, held a perimeter position the night of the raid and never entered the building.

The club’s management company is being represented by Laconia Atty. Matthew Lahey and property owner Willard Drew has also hired an attorney.

Lahey told selectmen on Wednesday that to take away the clubs live entertainment permit required evidence that the club’s management had somehow participated in any alleged illegal activity.

LETTERS Why has the Republican Party moved to the left of its conservative core?

To the editor, Greece is bankrupt, Spain and Portugal are not far behind. Increasing numbers of European countries are drowning in a sea of astronomical debt. The European economic community is scrambling to save these countries from financial collapse with billions in aid. All this despite confiscatory tax rates that don’t begin to cover the cost of their ever expanding social programs. The very same tax rates that have killed the entrepreneurial spirit of it’s citizens. Socialism has caused a steady and inevitable decline in many of the once great countries in Europe, just as it has for all previous prosperous countries going back many centuries. Deluded by the terribly misguided belief that equalizing income is the fairest way to treat it’s citizenry when all it does is lower the level of prosperity. Only true free market capitalism increases everyone’s standard of living including that of the poor.

The Unites States of America has been living, breathing proof of this undeniable truth. Yet inexplicably, it has inched every closer toward socialism in an elitist, bipartisan manner over the past one hundred years. Those who have become rich precisely due to capitalism put it down as an evil, unfair system. Though one need only look toward Europe to see how desperately and terribly flawed socialism is, this once great, exceptional country now bends toward socialism at an ever quickening pace as our government expands far beyond the limits of our Constitution. Why are people continually duped by the modern day liberalists of the left? Why has the Republican Party moved so far to the left of it’s conservative core? Socialist/ statist Democrats pretend to be the party of compassion when in reality,

their system always eventually runs out of other people’s money. People are then not lifted up, but rather progressively dragged into the quicksand of depression and despair.

Five more years of this current administration will surely be the demise of what’s left of capitalism in this country. We are indeed at a tipping point. If you really think socialism is a better system than capitalism and want to go the way of Europe, then vote for President Obama in this next election. If you would like to see this country prosper and again be a beacon of hope for the world, then please consider voting for the Republican nominee this time.

I’m hoping Herman Cain is that person. Given his track record, can you seriously doubt that he will not get this economy humming again? Given his history of finding the right people to command his ship, can you seriously doubt that he will not effect a dynamic and thriving business climate? Conservatives worry that like our current President, Mr. Cain does not possess foreign policy experience. True enough, however unlike President Obama, Herman Cain will find the right people to carry out his foreign policy. He has already engaged in several conversations with John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Need I say more?

We need a true conservative who believes in the exceptionalism of our country. A person who believes in the limiting constructs of our Constitution — someone who is the antithesis of a country club Republican. I believe Herman Cain is that man and a vote for him could mean our country will once again become the vibrant, prosperous nation that once was the envy of the world.

Catholic Charities is to be commended for its inclusiveness To the editor, Recently, Doug Lambert warned Catholic Charities about the “company” it keeps. The “company” Mr. Lambert refers to is those who are participating in a community-wide effort to promote tolerance and civility and discourage hatred and incivility.

This effort involves community leaders, educators, law enforcement officers, religious people, and others.

The part played by the Southern Poverty Law Center was merely a public “kick off” to this effort to promote tolerance and acceptance in our community. While Mr. Lambert suggests that this effort is part of some “lefty” agenda, I would hope that such

inclusive values would be common to all people in the community, regardless of political persuasion or affiliation.

Catholic Charities is a good organization. The agency offers its services to all regardless of faith (or lack thereof). Personally, I am glad that people of faith and faith-based organizations are participating in this effort to promote acceptance, diversity, civility, compassion, and community in the Laconia area. If I am not mistaken, these values are common to most religious and spiritual traditions. Moreover, they are truly “American” values.

E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

Directors have forgotten Laconia Hospital’s original purpose To the editor, The original purpose of the Laconia Hospital, to serve the citizens and the poor, appears to be lost on its Board of Directors.

If these nonprofits had put the extra earnings into a fund to serve the poor instead of high pay for administrators and so forth, maybe the extra buying of doctors’ offices, they might have the

money for the charitable purposes they were set up for.

Maybe its time the Attorney General’s office does its job and make nonprofits accountable for the expenditures that are not for the purpose for which they were founded.

Part-time professors now teach more than half the classes at PSU & some believe forming a union will lead to pay & benefits befitting their responsibility

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

PLYMOUTH — Earlier this month adjunct (non-permanent, part-time) faculty members at Plymouth State University took the first step toward forming a collective bargaining unit when more than 30-percent of their number petitioned the New Hampshire Public Employee Labor Relations Board (PELRB) to hold an election asking the some 250 adjunct professors if they wish to organize.

The adjunct faculty at Keene State College organized in 1993 as an affiliate of the National Education Association and last year adjunct teachers throughout the Community College System of New Hampshire affiliated with the State Employees Association (SEA).

Speaking for Sara Jayne Steen, president of PSU, Time Kerschner

said the administration was “formulating a response to the petition,” but would not intervene in the process.

“We will encourage as many adjunct professors as possible to participate in any election,” he said. “We hope they will ask questions and get answers.”

Brad Asbury of the SEA said that three representatives of the adjuncts met with Steen before filing the petition. “We don’t expect any interference,” he said. “This will be good for the entire university. The student body wins, the full-time faculty wins, adjunct faculty wins and the administration wins.”

The adjuncts outnumber the fulltime faculty at PSU and teach more than half the classes. Last year they began sporting T-shirts reading “Adjuncts: The New Faculty Majority.”

Forget about Reggie’s Staffordshire Terrier breeding, he is a perfect gentleman. Sturdy, muscular, an absolute beefcake who is so incredibly well mannered and sweet.

Reggie is only three years old, guaranteeing many happy years ahead of him to be your constant companion. He is a show stopper not only for his good looks, but also for his wonderful disposition – he is a friend to everyone, dogs, cats, people. He was surrendered to NH Humane Society under threat of eviction by landlord. Don’t buy into the folklore, Reggie is a wonderful dog.

reliance on adjuncts. Colleges and universities across the country have increasingly turned to adjuncts in order to control costs. And adjuncts everywhere have begun to organize to achieve equitable compensation, reasonable benefits and professional recognition.

Jay Knower, an adjunct member of the English Department in the forefront of the organizing effort, stressed that although compensation, benefits and working conditions are priorities, there is not intent of fostering “a confrontational environment.”

Apart from bread-and-butter issues, Krisan Evenson, who teaches international relations, considers organizing a means of ensuring the professional status of the adjunct faculty. She said that adjuncts enjoy close personal relationships with both the university administration and full-time faculty, but “our personal relationships are not matched by our professional relationships.”

“We walk into classes as professors,” Knower remarked, “but leave the classroom as something less.”

Likening adjuncts to “seasonal workers,” Evenson explained, “we have no stable existence,” but contract to teach one semester at a time.

Knower said that in his seven years at PSU he has had 13 contracts. Without long-term contracts, Evenson said that adjuncts without other employment or an earning partner, are hard pressed to qualify even for a car loan, let alone a home mortgage, because they cannot demonstrate stable employment and income.

Lynn Chong, who has taught English at PSU as an adjunct for almost 20 years, said that “even the custodial staff must be treated better than that.”

Health insurance is not offered to adjuncts, said Evenson, and when adjuncts asked to buy into the plan and pay the entire premium, the insurance underwriter refused, again because of lack of continuous employment. With a doctoral degree, she wishes to conduct research in her field, but has found her applications

for grants rejected, yet again for want of a secure position in academia.

Adjuncts are reluctant to discuss the specifics of their compensation, though they suggest salaries at PSU are between 25-percent and 50-percent below those at Keene State College. Evenson said that compensation is based on the number of credits taught, with most classes carrying three credits, as well as the experience and degree of the teacher and the number of credits he or she is teaching. However, she added that what she called the “three pillar system” was not applied uniformly by all departments.

At Keene State College, pay ranges from an adjunct with between five and eight semesters at the college teaching between one and seven credits earning $826 a credit to an adjunct with nineteen or more semesters of experience with the same teaching load earning $1,369.

At PSU, the adjuncts seek “parity with Keene,” though both Knower and Evenson acknowledged that the goal would be pursued incrementally. “We are still discussing these issues and developing an agenda,” Evenson said.

Several adjuncts have spoken against organizing in the campus newspaper, “The Clock.” Jay Moskowitz, a 15-year veteran of the Art Department, told the paper he has always found the administration “cooperative” and noted that adjuncts have received three pay raises in the last four years. He feared a union would lead to “adversarial relations with the administration.”

Stacie Curdie-Meade of the English Department said that “as part of a union we lose our ability to advocate for ourselves.”

Asbury said that the election is likely to be held within 45 days of filing the petition. The question whether or not to form a collective bargaining unit will be decided by a simple majority of the eligible adjuncts. If the majority agrees to organize, Asbury said the collective bargaining process could be underway as early as February.

DIRTY AIR DUCTS ARE A HEALTH HAZZARD

NASHUA from page one in consultation with the Hillsborough County Attorney’s Office decided to drop the charges against Wollmar, police said.

Police officials couldn’t be immediately contacted Thursday morning to provide more information.

Keefe said at Wollmar’s arraignment Monday that Wollmar was wandering around Nashua and disoriented when he ended up at Pennichuck Middle School early on the morning of Oct. 14.

He asked staff there to call police because he needed help, Keefe said.

Wollmar was taken to the police station and was eventually arrested that night and charged with aggravated felonious sexual assault, police said.

“He was as much a victim of circumstances as GAMBLING from page 3 Much of the committee’s debate focused on the revenues New Hampshire would lose to Massachusetts if it did not act. Supporters also said the number of gambling addicts living in New Hampshire will rise without the state getting any money from gambling to pay for treatment. Supporters noted that the bill includes funding for treatment.

But former state Sen. Jim Rubens, chairman of Granite State Coalition Against Expanded Gambling, said building casinos in New Hampshire will only create a bigger problem for the state.

Rubens, like Bettencourt, said it is impossible to

anything else that night,” Keefe said of Wollmar on Thursday.

Wollmar had come to Nashua to visit a friend and had wandered throughout the city the night before the alleged sexual assault, Keefe said. Wollmar was disoriented because of a medical condition exacerbated by hypothermia, Keefe said.

“Whether this was a case of wrong-place, wrongtime, or some other scenario, (Wollmar) is relieved that charges have been dropped because he maintains his complete and total innocence,” Keefe said.

This investigation into the reported sexual assault is ongoing, and police are asking that anyone having information contact the Nashua Police Department at 594-3500. Callers may also provide information anonymously on the Nashua Crime Line at 589-1665. predict whether the full House will pass the bill.

Supporters argued the casinos would produce jobs, enable the cash-strapped state to lower business taxes and add a new revenue source.

“We have been working very hard to create a probusiness environment in this state,” said committee Chairman Stephen Stepanek, R-Amherst.

But Rep. Susan Almy, D-Lebanon, argued expanding gambling would not produce the high-paying jobs the state needs. She said New Hampshire doesn’t have the population to support the kinds of resort casinos that will draw people to the state who will do more than gamble and leave. That won’t help nearby businesses, she said.

BELMONT — Rick Newman, general manager of The Lodge at Belmont, yesterday discounted a notice that the gambling venue is on the auction block, explaining that a foreclosure notice posted yesterday in The Citizen was a ploy by one of the investors to renegotiate the terms of his interest in the former greyhound track.

“This is part of a strategy designed to get a conversation going,” Newman said, conceding that it was unfortunate the differences among the partners were playing out in the public arena. “It’s kind of like a family having an argument on the front steps in a crowded neighborhood,” he said, adding that “nothing coming from this will change the ownership of The Lodge.”

The Lodge is owned by Northgate, LLC, a partnership headed by Marlin Torguson of the Torguson Gaming Group of Biloxi, Mississippi, who acquired the former Lakes Region Greyhound Park from the Hart family in 2005 for $4.1-million. The foreclosure notice that put the venue on the block was filed by Craig K. Potts, the founder and former chief executive officer of Cash Systems, Inc. who took an $8,150,000 second mortgage on The Lodge in November 2006.

Earlier this year, Keystone Management Company of Concord, whose

principal Tony Tarbell held a $700,000 mortgage on the property gave notice of intent to foreclose and was bought out by Torguson and Potts.

Newman said that differences among the partners arose as action at The Lodge, which operated as an off-track betting parlor following the prohibition of greyhound racing, slowed with the sour economy then stalled with the advent of the 10-percent state gambling winnings tax. From 2009 to 2010, after the tax was introduced, the Lodge’s handle (total amount of bets placed) fell from $30.4-million to $14.8-million as betting on simulcast thoroughbred racing plummeted from $17-million to $4.4-million. At the same time, the Lodge’s revenues fell from $6.4-million to $3.1-million. A year ago The Lodge suspended pari-mutuel wagering and laid off 22 employees and since has offered charity gaming and bingo while continuing to operate a restaurant and lounge and feature live entertainment, both music and comedy.

With the repeal of the gambling tax earlier this year, Newman said The Lodge has begun planning for the return of simulcast wagering on thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing in 2012.

The auction advertisement placed

by Paul McInnis, Inc. calls for an public auction of The Lodge at Belmont property on Thursday, Nov. 17 and 11 a.m.

OLSEN from page 2 out and Olsen was struck by a projectile that fractured his skull. Police say they responded only when protesters began throwing bottles and other items at them.

Now, even as officials investigate exactly where the projectile came from, and from whom, Olsen has become a rallying cry for the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators across the nation, with Twitter users and protest websites declaring: “We are all Scott Olsen.”

In Las Vegas, a few dozen protesters held a vigil Wednesday night, carrying glow sticks and projecting a photo of the Marine in uniform onto the corrugated-metal side of building at their camp.

More vigils were being planned Thursday night in other cities.

Elsewhere, officials took steps to close some camps that sprang up since the movement began last month against what protesters see as corporate greed and a government that caters to the wealthiest and big business.

In Nashville, Tenn., officials imposed a curfew for a camp at the Capitol complex. In Providence, R.I., officials notified protesters that they were violating laws prohibiting camping overnight at a park.

Some tea party groups complained of a double standard, saying they were charged fees to hold their rallies while Occupy groups have not. One group in Richmond, Va., is asking the city to repay $8,000 spent for permits and other needs.

On Thursday, however, most of the

talk was of Olsen and who was responsible for his injury.

The group Iraq Veterans Against the War blamed police. Police say they used tear gas and bean bag rounds, not flash grenades and rubber bullets as some demonstrators have charged.

Interim Oakland police Chief Howard Jordan said Wednesday that the charges of excessive use of force are being investigated. He did not return repeated calls seeking comment on Thursday.

Olsen’s condition improved on Thursday, with doctors transferring him from the emergency room to an intensive care unit. Shannon said Olsen is scheduled for surgery to relieve pressure from brain swelling.

His parents were flying to Oakland from Wisconsin, his uncle said.

“His mother, this is obviously a heartbreaker to her,” said George Nygaard, also a Marine veteran, said.

“I don’t think she understands why he was doing this.”

Olsen, who is from Onalaska, Wis., served two tours in Iraq, felt the antiWall Street movement had a chance to create real change, Shannon said.

So each night, he would go out to the tent camps and usually called Shannon with his whereabouts.

On Tuesday night, Olsen had planned to be in San Francisco, but changed course after his veteran’s group decided to go to Oakland to support the protesters there. Earlier, police in riot gear cleared an encampment outside city hall that officials said had health and safety problems.

Pioneering lady barbers closing ‘Heads Up’ after long run on Union Avenue; last day is Saturday

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — For Carol Kelly and Sue Davis, who have run the “Heads Up” barbershop for nearly 31 years, closing their popular Union Avenue business is something of a bittersweet experience.

“It’s hard to say goodbye. It’s such a social business and talking with the people who come though the doors has always been the best part of it,’’ says Kelly, who along with Davis have seen generations of the same family occupy their barber chairs over the years.

On the other hand they’re looking forward to retiring and enjoying long, leisurely mornings with time for a second cup of coffee and the opportunity for occasional travel to spend time with their respective families and maybe even trips to national parks.

There last day on job is Saturday.

They were something of pioneers when they first opened “Heads Up” on Washington Street in Lakeport on December 9, 1980 in Davis’s home.

There were few women barbers around at that time and the two 1979 graduates of New Hampshire Barber College decided to concentrate on men’s haircuts.

“We made the transition from regular haircuts into styling. Guys were wearing their hair long back then and there was a lot of demand for people who could style men’s hair,’’ says Davis, who says that in recent years the trend has been back to shorter hair for men, including the renewed popularity of the classic crew cut.

Both earned their way to the master barber title after their 1,500 hours of training at the barber college and a like number of hours of apprenticeship, Davis with Dave Cote in Concord and Kelly with Sherry Hersey at Village Stylists in Wolfeboro and Coaches Creative Hairstyling in Concord.

After 13 years of working out of Davis’s home, the business partners made the switch to Union Avenue location, which Kelly says was “a big deal. Union Avenue has more than 15,000 cars a day and it’s the best place for a business to be seen.”

“It’s been a nice ride. We’ve had a lot of fun and got to meet so many great people. A barbershop is a great place for people to talk and we’re fortunate DEBT from page 2 Beijing on Friday to talk to potential investors. Beijing has expressed sympathy for the 27-nation European Union, its biggest trading partner, but has yet to commit any cash.

The strategy unveiled after 10 hours of negotiations focused on three key points. These included a significant reduction in Greece’s debts, a shoring up of the continent’s banks, partially so they could sustain deeper losses on Greek bonds, and a reinforcement of a European bailout fund so it can serve as a €1 trillion ($1.39 trillion) firewall to prevent larger economies like Italy and Spain from being dragged into the crisis.

After several missed opportunities, hashing out a plan was a success for the 17-nation eurozone,

to have people share so much about their lives with us,’’ says Davis.

They’ve had their barbershop and the attached home, which served as their primary residence, for sale for only a few months and were surprised that it sold as quickly as it did. ‘’We never thought that it would happen this quick. We’re really happy. But it’s tough saying goodbye to the people you’ve got to know so well over the years,’’ says Davis. but the strategy’s effectiveness will depend on the details, which will have to be finalized in the coming weeks.

“The finer details still appear somewhat sketchy ... but the prospect of a contagion and a disorderly default appear to have been put to one side for the time being,” said Michael Hewson, market analyst at CMC Markets. “The only concern is that this postdeal euphoria could well leave investors with a nasty hangover when they start to look at the fine print.”

President Barack Obama, who had been pressuring Europe to get its act together in recent weeks, welcomed the plan but pointedly noted that the U.S. was looking forward to its “full development and rapid implementation.”

WATER from page one he said, consumption of water has shrunk 1.5-percent a year for the last six years.

Nuttleman said that conservation measures, including more efficient fixtures and appliances commonplace in newly constructed homes, have contributed significantly to the decline in consumption.

Toilets, which account for 30-percent of household water consumption, typically used 3.5 gallons per flush, but now require only 1.3 gallons. Showering represents 17-percent of residential water usage and with modern showerheads the average household can save 2,300 gallons per year. Top loading washing machines use 30 gallons of water, but newer front

loading models use only 10 gallons while there are dishwashers that use only 3.7 gallons compared to the 9 to 12 gallons for conventional models.

Nuttleman said that the commissioners chose to raise only the consumption rate to spare businesses, large and small, an increase in their base rate while continuing to encourage and reward conservation.

For the average household of four, using 25 hcf a quarter, the annual cost of water would increase by $30, from $195 to $225, or from $0.53 to $0.62 per day. Nuttleman pointed out that despite the rate increase the average resident will pay slightly more than one cent a gallon for water.

JACKSON from page 2 repeatedly for procedures to enhance his appearance.

No Demerol was discovered in the singer’s system when he died, but propofol was found throughout his body.

Waldman relied on Klein’s records from March 2009 until days before Jackson died. Waldman said he was not shown earlier records and didn’t review a police interview of Murray about his treatment of the star.

Under questioning by Murray’s lead lawyer, Ed Chernoff, Waldman said: “I believe there is evidence that he (Jackson) was dependent on Demerol, possibly.”

Klein has emerged as the missing link in the involuntary manslaughter trial, with the defense raising his name at every turn and the judge ruling he may not be called as a witness because his care of Jackson is not at issue. He has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

But Klein’s handwritten notes on his visits with Jackson were introduced through Waldman, who said Klein was giving Jackson unusually high doses of Demerol for four months — from March through June, 2009 — with the last shots coming three days before the singer’s death.

Over three days in April, the records showed Jackson received 775 milligrams of Demerol along with small doses of the sedative Versed. Waldman’s testimony showed Klein, who also was Jackson’s longtime friend, was giving the singer huge doses of the powerful drug at the same time Murray was giving Jackson the anesthetic propofol to sleep.

“This is a large dose for an opioid for a dermatology procedure in an office,” Waldman said.

He told jurors the escalating doses showed Jackson had developed a tolerance to the drug and was probably addicted. He said a withdrawal symptom from the drug is insomnia.

On cross-examination, prosecutor David Walgren tangled with the expert, who was hostile to most of his questions. He elicited from Waldman that the law requires physicians to keep accurate and detailed records, which Murray did not. The doctor also said all drugs should be kept in a locked cabinet or safe where they could not be stolen or diverted by anyone.

Waldman said every doctor also must document when the drugs are stored and when they are used.

Murray told police he kept no records on his treatment of Jackson.

Waldman, who has treated celebrities and sports stars at expensive rehab clinics, told jurors treatment can work if the addict is willing to admit a problem.

Several prosecution experts have said the propofol self-administration defense was improbable, and a key expert said he ruled it out completely, arguing the more likely scenario was that Murray gave Jackson a much higher dose than he has acknowledged.

Jackson had complained of insomnia as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts and was receiving the anesthetic and sedatives from Murray to help him sleep.

Murray’s police interview indicates he didn’t know Jackson was being treated by Klein and was receiving other drugs.

In response to questions from a prosecutor, Waldman said some of the symptoms of Demerol withdrawal were the same as those seen in patients withdrawing from the sedatives lorazepam and diazepam. Murray had been giving Jackson both drugs.

White is expected to be the final defense witness.

White and Waldman do not necessarily have to convince jurors that Jackson gave himself the fatal dose, but merely provide them with enough reasonable doubt about the prosecution’s case against Murray.

Margarita Crego, who will turn 50 in January, will compete in her first-ever bodybuilding competition on October 29. The owner of Miami Hair Salon in Moultonborough wanted to be in the best shape possible for her 50th birthday and beyond. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

To challenge herself in her 50th year, salon owner takes up bodybulding

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — Margarita Crega is a woman who yearns for challenges to tackle. That’s how she, a native Cuban who immigrated to Miami when she was four, came to New Hampshire in 2004. She followed a love interest 1,500 north and although the relationship fizzled she decided to make a go at life in New England and seven years ago opened Miami Hair Salon on Route 25.

Her latest challenge, one she conjured to commemorate her 50th year, is to enter a bodybuilding competition, an ambitious goal considering that she’d never taken up the pursuit until four months ago.

In addition to being a certified hair colorist and salon owner, Crega has a license to practice real estate in Florida, is a licensed yoga instructor, a health coach for a line of meal replacements her salon carries and is a mother and grandmother. “I have always been the one who likes to do something more.”

In 2009, using the product line of meal replacements for which she later became a vendor, Crega lost 20 pounds. “As I started to get close to turning 50, I wanted to look my best for my 50 and beyond,”

she said. She was exercising but decided this summer that she needed to do more than just cardio exercises, so she walked across the street from her salon to Galaxy Gym, where owner Wayne McClay is known for training his clients to become competitive lifters.

“I walked in and saw a picture of a woman who competed,” Crega said. “I asked Wayne, could I do that? He said, ‘sure’.” After following his regimen for four months, Crega feels she’s in better shape, mentally as well as physically, than ever in her life.

Referring to McClay’s expertise, she said, “He could transform anybody.”

That isn’t to say that it’s been easy. There were times when she wondered why she was putting herself through the ordeal, working out for three hours each day between yoga, weightlifting and cardio, and then running her salon for the rest of the day. Looking back, she’s glad she stuck with it. “I think that at any age, if you’re not happy with where you’re at, you can work at it,” she said, noting that a significant transformation takes dedication.

Thanks to all that sweat, time and dedication, see next page

Choral Festival at PSU on Nov. 3

PLYMOUTH — Two hundred high school students from 50 New England schools will spend November 3 at Plymouth State University with the PSU Chorale and the PSU Chamber Singers, participating in the 34th annual All New England Choral Festival, directed by PSU Professor Dan Perkins, who is conductor and artistic director of the festival.

A 7 p.m. concert in Hanaway Theatre at the Silver Center culminates weeks of advance preparation and a full day of rehearsals for the students, and workshops for their teachers.

Beginning his 21st year as director of choral activities at Plymouth State, Perkins says he built this year’s festival around a theme of “Making Peace.”

Perkins: “By exploring the diversity in our personal belief systems, we hope to discover what can unite us. As we reveal ourselves through music, we see and hear our differences, and yet discover that we are all part of humankind—different, same, united in song.”

The concert includes an improvisation on a Gregorian “Credo” chant in which the students will incorporate personal creeds they have written prior to the festive. The choirs will also perform an Iraqi/Syrian folk song sung in Arabic, the iconic anti-war popular song from the 1970s, “For What it’s Worth” and a setting of Thomas Hood’s poem, “The Stars are with the Voyager.”

Tickets for the evening concert are $11-10 for adults, $10-9 for seniors and $8-7 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, 5352787 or (800) 779-3869.

AutoServ of Tilton sealed the deal for first place with team players John and Sandra McGonagle, Henry Welkes and Andrew Hosmer. Runners up with a tie breaker on record were Miracle Farms Landscaping and rounding out at third place was a team led by Tom and Nathan Garrity from St. Andre Bessette Parish.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy TUNDRA

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s a reason why most organizations appoint one person to be the leader and not an entire group of people. Committees can be more trouble than they are worth. You’ll see an illustration of this today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You realize that you don’t have to own things in order to get good use out of them. You’ll do everything you need to do using what is borrowed, rented or available to the public. How convenient!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You have a knack for turning a necessity into an object of loveliness. The total satisfaction of seeing the manifestation of your idea will be well worth the effort you put forth in its development.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Justice never sleeps. It will be crucial to your own sleeping patterns that you sort out an unjust situation in your waking hours. Do what it takes to keep your own conscience clear, and encourage others to do the right thing, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will inspire and empower the people around you. The best part is that you don’t have to be in charge of things for this dynamic to happen. You simply contribute in a way that others admire.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). This year you solve small problems, and big ones solve themselves. With your own brand of practical magic, you’ll turn a dysfunctional scene into a highly profitable scenario. A key introduction happens in November, and it’s amazing how one person can expand your horizons. Invest in yourself and your talent in May. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 3, 22, 48 and 20.

by Chad Carpenter

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You wouldn’t mind hearing about how brilliant you are, and yet, strangely, those around you are not mentioning it today.

Here’s your astrologer, picking up the slack: You are brilliant!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Choose your teachers carefully. Kindness and intelligence go hand in hand. Furthermore, anyone who is supposedly wise but doesn’t know how to love is a fraud.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you expand emotionally and physically, note that the very nature of stretching is that it goes beyond the usual range of motion. That said, it doesn’t have to actually hurt to do you some good.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been known to keep lists of important things, and yet lately you’ve fallen out of the habit. It’s true that you can remember quite a lot; however, you’ll feel much freer if you commit the items to paper instead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The outside world is cacophony. You have to close the doors to get some peace. Also, some people in your life are quite noisy, though you may not notice this until they leave. You’ll experience first-hand why silence is golden.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You get the impression that the authority figures don’t know what’s going on, at least not completely. You have a better view of the day-to-day realities at the ground level, and there is opportunity in this position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The solution to today’s problems will be a synthesis of information from various people. Instead of asking “who” is right, you ask “what” is right. And you realize that there is not one person who holds all of the correct answers.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 28, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Oct. 28, the 301st day of 2011. There are 64 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland.

On this date: In 1636, the General Court of Massachusetts passed a legislative act establishing Harvard College.

In 1776, the Battle of White Plains was fought during the Revolutionary War, resulting in a limited British victory.

In 1858, Rowland Hussey Macy opened his first New York store at Sixth Avenue and 14th Street in Manhattan.

In 1919, Congress enacted the Volstead Act, which provided for enforcement of Prohibition, over President Woodrow Wilson’s veto.

In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rededicated the Statue of Liberty on its 50th anniversary.

In 1940, Italy invaded Greece during World War II. In 1958, the Roman Catholic patriarch of Venice, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, was elected pope; he took the name John XXIII. In 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev informed the United States that he had ordered the dismantling of missile bases in Cuba.

In 1991, what became known as “The Perfect Storm” began forming hundreds of miles east of Nova Scotia; lost at sea during the storm were the six crew members of the Andrea Gail, a sword-fishing boat from Gloucester, Mass.

One year ago: Investigators with the president’s oil spill commission said tests performed before the deadly blowout of BP’s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico should have raised doubts about the cement used to seal the well, but that the company and its cementing contractor used it anyway.

Today’s Birthdays: Jazz singer Cleo Laine is 84. Actress Joan Plowright is 82.

Musician-songwriter Charlie Daniels is 75.

Actress Jane Alexander is 72. Singer Curtis Lee is 70. Actor Dennis Franz is 67. Actress Telma Hopkins is 63. Olympic track and field gold medalist Bruce Jenner is 62. Actress Annie Potts is 59.

OBITUARY

November 12th, 2011 9:00 a.m. – Preview at 7:30 a.m.

Elizabeth MacGregor Crooker Bates, 91

SANDWICH — Elizabeth “Lib” MacGregor Crooker Bates, died tranquilly on October 21, 2011 at her home in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire.

In her 92nd year, she was profiled as founder of a group of retired hikers in the book, Over the Hill Hikers, and she won L.L. Bean’s 2011 Outdoor Hero Award.

Lib was born in Reading, Massachusetts in 1919, the daughter of Helen Emerson MacGregor and “Red Mac” (Milton) MacGregor, the first manager of the Appalachian Mountain Club’s hut system with whom she and her brother “Ski Wax” (Arthur) MacGregor spent childhood summers tramping the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Lib attended high school in Needham, Massachusetts. She graduated in 1940 from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine along with the football team’s captain, Charlie Crooker, who became her husband of more than 50 years. They completed Yale Divinity School in the class of 1943. He became a Congregational minister and she worked as a public school teacher in Holden and Great Barrington, Massachusetts. On moving to Brockton, Massachusetts, she began a second career as a tax preparer. During their retirement to a rustic farmhouse in Center Sandwich, she continued to prepare taxes while Charlie continued as guest preacher at churches throughout the region.

After Charlie’s death in 1994, Lib married Dr. Frank Bates of Center Sandwich, and they enjoyed a 13 year marriage until Frank’s death in May, 2011.

Her genius came out in community organization where she played key roles: The Over the Hill Hikers (16 years as Den Mother), the Sand-

wich Women’s Club (2 years as president), Ladies Aid (president and other offices), the Bates Class of 1940 (president), the Sandwich Players (3 years as business manager), Sandwich’s Land Trust Committee which established the Bearcamp River Trail (member), Caregivers (6 years as board member), and also the Garden Club, the Friends of the Library, and the Sandwich Historical Society. She sang in the church choir and with the Sandwich Singers, and served on many church committees.

She frequently hiked, skied, and played tennis and bridge. She photographed everything and loved grubbing in her gardens. She cherished travel and camping throughout the United States and Canada in her vintage Chevy Van, first with Charlie and later with Frank, her co-explorers of nature’s grandeur.

She is survived by her four children, Carol Farnsworth of Venice, Florida, Constance Crooker and Catherine Crooker of Portland, Oregon, and Charles A. Crooker of Stoughton, Massachusetts. She is also survived by three step-children, and eleven grandchildren.

A service will be held on Saturday, November 5 at 1 p.m. at the Federated Church of Sandwich (Main Street) in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire, followed by a reception at 140 North Sandwich Road.

Donations in her name may be made to The Charlie’s Bridge Fund of the Wonalancet Out Door Club, c/o Connie Crooker, 140 N. Sandwich Rd., Center Sandwich, NH, 03227, or to the Federated Church of Sandwich, PO Box 267, Center Sandwich, NH 03227.

The Mayhew Funeral Homes and Crematorium, in Meredith and Plymouth, are in charge of the arrangements.

$2,000 in prizes up for grabs at opera competition November 6 in Concord CONCORD — Just Love to Sing!, a NH non profit music organization will be holding its Fifth Annual Opera Competition on Sunday, November 6 at 3 p.m. at the Concord City Auditorium.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 28, 2011— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been seeing my boyfriend for more than a year. “Keith” was divorced three years ago, but he and his ex-wife live in the same town and have four kids together, one of whom still lives with her.

I am bothered by their relationship, which goes beyond normal concerns for the children. They talk and text or see each other nearly every day, and it’s not always about the kids. She was a controlling wife who regularly emasculated Keith. She has money, so she pays him child support, and I’m guessing it’s a substantial amount. He doesn’t work and survives on her money.

They have keys to each other’s houses, and she will walk into his home and use his dishes and pool as if they were still hers. This bothers him, but he doesn’t do anything about it.

Her mail still comes to his house, so he has to deliver it to her. She “hires” him to do jobs like moving her furniture.

The only disagreements we have had are about her and her intrusive and controlling nature. I believe this relationship is unhealthy, and I refuse to have her in my life. I’ve told Keith that I will not share him. I fear he would return to her in a heartbeat if she asked, mostly because of the money.

I realize they must be in touch for the kids’ sake, and I’m OK with that. But he is unwilling to limit the relationship with his ex, so I’ve put ours on hold. Do you think that relationship is normal? -- Unwilling To Share Dear Unwilling: We think Keith is still dependent, financially and emotionally, on his ex. If he refuses to limit their contact and you are concerned that he would go back to her “in a heartbeat,” we’d say your relationship is doomed. It’s time to move on. Keith is essentially unavailable.

Dear Annie: I was in charge of a recent event that was a huge success. Our committee planned it for a long time and raised a good amount of money.

My boss was also on the committee. Our business donated money, which we used to purchase snacks. Another business donated cases of water. After the event, my boss gathered all of the leftover snacks and water and took them with her.

The next day, she told a co-worker that another committee member said it was OK to donate the items to another event she was involved in.

She also left the labels on the items, saying they were compliments of our business when they are actually the property of the event. What bothers me most is that she never mentioned it to me. It seems sneaky. Do you think this was a tacky thing to do? -- Team Captain Dear Captain: If you were in charge of the event, the boss should have asked whether it was OK if she took the leftovers and donated them elsewhere. However, we suspect she thought no one would mind if one donation benefited two good causes. She could have handled it more ethically, but it serves no purpose to hold a grudge.

Dear Annie: I’d like to tell “Sad Wife” that parental favoritism is not unusual. My first husband had three siblings.

His parents doted on all of them, but not on my husband.

My current husband also has three siblings and a similar situation.

One thing I noticed in both cases is that parents give their attention to the children they think need it most. To the leftout child, it feels like favoritism, but I truly believe the parents consider that child to be the most loved and think they need to dote on the others. I finally told my husband’s parents how he felt, and they were mortified.

Please tell “Sad Wife” not to feel bad for her husband. Feel bad for the siblings. -- Making My Husband Feel Special Every Day

(Courtesy photo)

MEREDITH — With the support of Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund in the amount of a $2,000 grant, the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region will be able to implement their new program for youth aged 6 to 18 years, “Power Hour: Making Minutes Count”.

This new initiative by the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region will provide members with the support, resources and guidance necessary to complete their homework and start the school day with a sense of confidence and ability.

Jennie Pappas, interim executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, said “this generous support from Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund allows us the opportunity to provide a forum for youth to help them become more selfdirected, resourceful and independent learners.”

She said programs like our Power Hour are able to help young club members improve their academic performances, reinforce the lessons learned in school, develop healthy attitudes of personal responsibility, learn how to interact with others in a positive and supportive manner and “perhaps most importantly, avoid the risks of bad influences competing for their free time after school.”

The club is open daily during the school year, school vacations and no-school days. For more infor-

The Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund makes grants every year to local community initiatives and non-profits that make a significant impact upon the lives of people in the communities the bank serves.

These grants are in addition to the bank’s regular contributions and the extraordinary volunteer efforts by its employees.

Since its inception in 1997 under the leadership of John Starrett, then president and CEO of the Bank, 184 grants totaling more than $718,000 have been awarded to a wide range of environmental, social, educational, and historic projects throughout the Lakes Region and Plymouth area.
