Police chief confirms investigation of Wide Open Saloon fire

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Police Chief Chris Adams confirmed yesterday that there is an open investigation into the fire that gutted a

Weirs Beach landmark restaurant and motel in September of 2010.

He also confirmed the LPD’s detective division has gotten a report from the Office of the N.H. State Fire Marshal, but because

the investigation is still open, he will not make it available to the press or the public.

The confirmation comes as Wide Open Saloon owner Brandi Baldi’s attorney has see FIrE page 13

TILTON — Police are crediting two men with preventing an allegedly impaired Gilford woman from continuing down Laconia Road (Rte. 3) after she rear-ended a minivan yesterday.

Police Chief Robert Cormier said the two, strangers to each other, witnessed Carrie Ann Parker, 34, of 392 Old Lake Shore Road hit a minivan in front of Tilton AutoServ at 5:35 p.m. yesterday and try to continue toward Laconia.

He said the two got out of their cars at the next stop light in front of Tanger Outlets and surrounded Parker‘s car. He said one man actually reached in and took the key from the ignition while they waited for police.

When police got there, Cormier said Parker was allegedly fishing through her pocketbook to find a second set of keys.

LACONIA — Testimony presented yesterday by officers of the major crime unit of the New Hampshire State Police in Belknap County Superior Court appeared to place three people in the room where Robert Hart died during an alleged armed robbery gone awry, but as yet the jury has only the word of Julie Sallies, Hart’s now incarcerated fiancee, that one of them was Michael Noucas.

Noucas, 27, formerly of 5 Stevens Avenue, Meredith is being tried on Class A felony charges of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, accomplice to armed robbery and burglary. The prosecution alleges that on June 6, 2010 he and Hart, wielding a kitchen knife and a baseball bat, entered a duplex at 16 Lake Street in Meredith intending to rob David Rivera of Brockton, Massachusetts of cash and drugs, but found themselves fighting for their lives when Rivera struck back. Hart was beaten and stabbed to death while Noucas had his throat slashed, an ear almost severed and his head badly cut.

Rivera, who was granted immunity from prosecution but ordered to testify, took the stand on Tuesday, insisting that though he killed one man and maimed another, he remembered absolutely nothing.

3 women, 2 Africans & an Arab, share Nobel Peace Prize

OSLO, Norway (AP) — Leymah Gbowee confronted armed forces in Liberia to demand that they stop using rape as a weapon. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first woman to win a free presidential election. Tawakkul Karman began pushing for change in Yemen long before the Arab Spring. They share a commitment to women’s rights in regions where oppression is common, and on Friday they shared the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee honored women for the first time in seven years, and in selecting Karman it also recognized the Arab Spring movement championed by millions of often anonymous activists from Tunisia to Syria.

Prize committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said it would have been difficult to identify all the movement’s leaders, and that the committee was making an additional statement by selecting Karman to represent their cause.

“We have included the Arab Spring in this prize, but we have put it in a particular context,” Jagland told reporters. “Namely, if one fails to include the women in the revolution and the new democracies, there will be no democracy.”

Karman is the first Arab woman ever to win the peace prize, which includes a 10 million kronor ($1.5 million) award that will be divided among the winners. No woman or sub-Saharan African had won the prize since 2004, when the committee honored Wangari Maathai of Kenya, who mobilized poor women to fight deforestation by planting trees.

“I am very, very happy about this prize,” said Karman, who has been campaigning for the ouster of Yemen’s authoritarian President Ali Abdullah Saleh since 2006. “I give the prize to the youth of revolution in Yemen and the Yemeni people.”

Sirleaf, 72, won Liberia’s presidential election in 2005 and is credited with helping the country emerge from an especially brutal civil war. She is running for re-election Tuesday in what has been a tough campaign, but Jagland said that did not enter into the committee’s decision to honor her.

Economy adds 103,000 jobs in September but its not enough to make a dent in 9.1% unemployment rate WASHINGTON (AP) — The jobs crisis isn’t getting worse. But it isn’t getting much better, either.

The economy added just enough jobs last month to ease fears of a new recession. But hiring is still too weak to bring down unemployment, which has been stuck at about 9 percent for more than two years.

The nation added 103,000 jobs in September, an improvement from the month before, the Labor Department said Friday. But the total includes 45,000 Verizon workers who were rehired after going on strike and were counted as job gains.

Even counting those workers, the job gains weren’t enough to get the economy going. It takes about 125,000 jobs a month just to keep up with population growth. For September, the unemployment rate stayed stuck at 9.1 percent.

“Well, the sky is not falling just yet,” Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said in a note to clients. But there was nothing great about the report, he added. “It’s incredible how low our sights have been set.”

On one hand, the unemployment report was encouraging for economists. Some of them had feared the nation would lose jobs in September, raising the risk of a painful second recession.

But everyday Americans can’t take much solace from it, either. The Great Recession has been over for almost two and a half years, and while corporate profits and the stock market have bounced back in that time, unemployment is still high.

There are 14 million people counted as unemployed in the United States. An additional 9.3 million are working part time and would rather work full time. And 2.5 million more have simply given up looking for a job.

The Labor Department said the economy added more jobs than first estimated in July and August.

The government’s first reading had said the economy added zero jobs in August.

While the report was clearly better than feared, it also showed the economy is not gaining much momentum, said Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets.

“It moves you away from the ledge,” he said.

It was also discouraging news for President Barack Obama, who will almost certainly have to wage his 2012 campaign under the highest unemployment of any president running for re-election since World War II. see JOBS page 6

Justice Department asks federal court to stop Alabama from enforcing its new immigration law ATLANTA (AP) — The federal government asked an appeals court Friday to stop Alabama officials from enforcing a strict immigration law that has already driven Hispanic students from public schools and migrant workers from towns, warning that it opens the door to discrimination against even legal residents.

The Department of Justice’s filing to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also said the law, considered by many to be the most stringent immigration measure in the country, could cause considerable fallout as immigrants flee to other states or their native countries.

A coalition of advocacy groups also filed a separate appeal Friday that claims the law has thrown Alabama into “chaos” and left some Hispanics too

afraid to go to their jobs and reluctant to send their kids to school.

The court signaled in an order Friday that it wouldn’t decide whether to halt the law until it reviews more arguments from both sides next week.

The state must file a brief by Tuesday, and the government must respond by Wednesday. After that, the court could decide whether to intervene by issuing a preliminary injunction.

In the meantime, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said he intends to continue enforcing the hotly disputed law, which allows authorities to detain people suspected of being in the country illegally and lets officials check the immigration status of students in public schools.

Those measures took effect last week after a fedsee ALABAMA page 11

Foster’s Daily Democrat owner Therese Foster dies at age 83 DOVER (AP) — Therese D. Foster, the longtime owner and editor of Foster’s Daily Democrat, was remembered Friday for taking an active role in the publication and for her devotion to her family.

Foster died Thursday night at the St. Ann Rehabilitation and Nursing Center after a long illness.

She was 83.

“Terri Foster joined her husband, Bob, in bringing the news to the people of Dover, the surrounding area and New Hampshire,” Gov. John Lynch said in a statement. “Together, they carried on the proud tradition of a true family-run newspaper. She was a strong presence in the newsroom for many years, and over the last several years I enjoyed the many discussions we had regarding the important issues facing our state and our nation.”

Wayne Chick, the newspaper’s vice president and general manager, said Foster enjoyed taking part in editorial review board meetings, especially those with political candidates. She occasionally wrote editorials.

He called her “one of the unsung heroes of the New England newspaper industry,” saying her support of the paper made it a success. But as involved as she was in the newspaper business, family always came first. She fought to include one of her children, who had a birth injury resulting in cerebral palsy, in a regular educational environment, long before the concept of mainstreaming became popular, Chick said.

Her husband of 58 years, Robert H. Foster, died in September 2009.

Child porn pinned on bus driver

DOVER (AP) — A school bus driver accused of possessing child pornography has been indicted on six federal charges, including five counts of sexual exploitation of children.

WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/qbUZiX) reports that 45-yearold John Wright of Milton also has been indicted on one count of possession of child pornography.

Police say Wright worked for a company that transports special needs children to schools and day care centers, and that he transported children in New Hampshire’s Strafford and Rockingham counties and in Kittery, Maine, since 2008.

Authorities say they found 10,000 images on Wright’s computer. He’s also accused of assaulting a 6-year-old developmentally challenged student on a bus in Kittery, Maine.

Iowa tentatively sets caucus date for Jan. 3 DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republicans have tentatively decided to hold the state’s leadoff presidential caucuses on Jan. 3 and Democrats will follow suit, party leaders said Friday.

Drew Ivers, a member of the Republican State Central Committee, said that panel held a telephone conference late Thursday to map out plans for the caucus calendar.

“We had a pretty strong consensus that the date should be Jan. 3 and the chairman should make that public on Monday,” Ivers said in a telephone interview.

Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn plans to spend the weekend talking with his counterparts in New Hampshire to coordinate the date of the lead-off caucuses in Iowa and the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire.

Strawn said there was a strong consensus on the governing board that the caucuses needed be held in January and not move into the holiday season.

Iowa is changing its date after Nevada decided to hold its caucuses in mid-January.

“The broad direction I was given by my executive committee was to do everything in my power to hold the caucuses in January, but also continuing to work with our friends in New Hampshire,” said Strawn.

“Every four years Iowa and New Hampshire are attacked by other states that are very jealous of the opportunity we have to start the presidential nominating process.”

Strawn declined to confirm specifically that Jan. 3 was the date settled on, though Ivers made it clear that was the decision.

“It’s also important that we play a role in bringing sanity to this process,” said Strawn. “We want to make sure this is a process that begins in January.”

Iowa Democratic Chair Sue Dvorsky said Democrats “absolutely” would hold their caucuses on the same day, even though they don’t have a nomination contest.

“While we don’t have a nominating contest what we have is the necessity of organizing Democrats across the state,” said Dvorsky. While they fight about most issues, Republicans and Democrats traditionally work together to help keep Iowa’s caucuses first in the nation.”

Strawn said it is crucial that Iowa and New Hampshire coordinate closely in setting their dates.

Iowa holds the first caucus, while New Hampshire has the first primary.

“It’s so very important not only to work in a bipartisan fashion here in Iowa, it’s important that we’re cooperating with New Hampshire,” said Strawn.

Typically, the New Hampshire primary is held eight days after the Iowa caucuses, but the rush from other states to move to the beginning of the process has condensed that. In the last election cycle, Strawn noted that was condensed to five days.

“That was a scenario that worked very well for both parties and both states four years ago and can provide some guidance on how to proceed,” said Strawn.

Strawn and Dvorsky spoke during a taping of Iowa Public Television’s “Iowa Press” program, which airs over the weekend.

Hells Angels rival sentenced for Manchester shooting MANCHESTER (AP) — A New Hampshire prosecutor says a recruit of the Outlaws motorcycle gang is going to prison for at least 7½ years after pleading guilty to assault charges from the wounding of a Manchester high school student during a battle with members of a rival motorcycle gang.

Thirty-two-year-old Kristofer Haken, of Manchester, was sentenced Wednesday.

Prosecutors say the case began on April 16, 2010

as part of a turf battle between the Outlaws and Hells Angels.

Haken was in a car that was being driven away from a pizza restaurant when he fired a shotgun out the window at three high school students there to get pizza, seriously wounding one of the students.

Haken claims he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Something is happening To paraphrase one of Bob Dylan’s songs of youthful protest, “Something’s happening here, and you don’t know what it is, do you Ms. Bellafante?”

A New York Times writer, Ginia Bellafante, is but one of many establishment reporters and pundits who’ve been covering the fledgling “Occupy Wall Street “ movement — but completely missing the story. Instead of really digging into what’s “happening here,” they’ve resorted to fuddy-duddy mockery of an important populist protest that has sprouted right in Wall Street’s own neighborhood.

In a September article, Bellafante dismissed the young people’s effort as “fractured and airy,” calling it a “carnival” in an “intellectual vacuum.” Their cause is so “diffuse and leaderless,” she wrote, that its purpose is “virtually impossible to decipher.” No wonder, she concluded, that participation in the movement is “dwindling.”

Whew — so snide! Yet, so wrong.

While the establishment is befuddled by the plethora of issues and slogans within the protest, confused by the absence of hierarchical order and put off by its festive spirit, that’s their problem. The 20- and 30-somethings who are driving this movement know what they’re doing and are far more organized (but much differently organized) than their snarky critics seem able to comprehend.

It’s silly to say that the protestors’ purpose is indecipherable. Hello — they’re encamped next door to Wall Street. Isn’t that a clue? Their cause is the same as the one boiling in the guts of America’s workaday majority: Stop the gross greed of financial and corporate elites, and expel a political class that’s so corrupted by the money of those wealthy elites that it has turned its back on the middle class and the poor.

Such movements don’t begin with a neat set of solutions pre-packaged for The New York Times, but with roiling outrage focused directly on the plutocratic perpetrators of an unjust economy and an unresponsive politics. The movement will find agreement in due time on specific ideas for stopping the injustice, but now is the time for the passion and creative, nonviolent confrontation that will energize others to stop moaning and join the rebellion.

Millions of people are mad as hell and yearning for some leadership to battle the bastards. They’re experiencing the truth of the old Ray Charles song: “Them that’s got

is them that gets, and I ain’t got nothin’ yet.”

A majority of folks now see that “them that’s got” are not only getting theirs, but also getting ours.

The wealthiest 1-percent of Americans possess more net worth today than the bottom 90-percent of us combined. Worse, these privileged few and their political henchmen have structured a new economic “normal” of long-term joblessness, low wages, no benefits or worker rights, miserly public services, and a steadily widening chasm between the rich and the rest of us.

This is the alienating reality that “Occupy Wall Street” has arisen to confront. This burgeoning movement began in September, when fewer than a dozen college students pitched camp in Liberty Square, located in the heart of New York’s financial district, and began daily peaceful marches down Wall Street.

This is not your grandfather’s tightly organized protest. In fact, it’s intentionally loose — there is no “leader” or leadership council. Instead, group decisions are reached through a consensus-based democratic process. With no faith in traditional politics or conventional media, the mostly young protestors have taken to the streets to make their points, using their well-honed “culture of the web” to organize, strategize, harmonize and mobilize.

Their Liberty Square encampment might look chaotic at first, but look again. It includes a medial clinic, media center, cafeteria and library.

Food? Their widely viewed website lets anyone in the world go online and have pizzas delivered to them from a local shop. They even produce their own newspaper, appropriately named the Occupied Wall Street Journal.

Far from “dwindling” in numbers, the New York protest continues to grow. Moreover, the movement has now spread to more than 50 cities, from major hubs like Chicago to such smaller places as McAllen, Texas. All across the U.S.A., “something is happening here” — something that might be big. Link into it at www.OccupyTogether.com.

(Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist.

The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

LETTERS If only we could eavesdrop on a conversation at the West Wing To the editor, If a secret tape recorder were on in president Obama’s office as it was in Nixon’s, a typical conversation between Obama and his chief of staff might go something like this: Mr. President, unemployment remains very high.

Community college will hold another patriotic event Nov. 9 To the editor, On behalf of the Lakes Region Community College faculty, students, and staff, I would like to thank the members of the Lakes Region community who participated in Lakes Region Community College’s Constitution Day celebration. September 17 marked the 224th anniversary of the signing of this historic and timeless document but, since the college was closed, we had a belated celebration on Wednesday, September 21, sponsored by LRCC’s Student Senate and Department of Arts and Sciences.

I would especially like to thank Russ Wiles, Steve Earl, and Pam Colburn for participating in our panel discussion. I would also like to thank the members of the general public who attended and helped this to be the biggest Constitution Day event in the college’s history. In addition, I would like to thank The Laconia Sun

and our local cable channel for their coverage of this event.

Along with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights, the Constitution is one of three documents which truly define us as “Americans.”

The Constitution of the United States, unlike some other constitutions, has survived for a long time.

The college’s next major patriotic event will be our Veteran’s Appreciation Day ceremony on Wednesday, November 9 at noon in front of the college’s flagpoles (the college will be closed on Veteran’s Day, November 11). Veterans, their families, veterans’ organizations, and the public are invited to attend and help us remember and honor those who have served our country over the years.

LETTERS So many contributed to another great Multicultural Market Day To the editor, Multicultural Market Day is a signature downtown event. We celebrated our 10th year on September 9 with an evening performance and all-day on th e10th. Each year there seems to be something that stands out. This year it was the parade that Larry Frates creates each year. The parade wound through downtown Laconia from Pleasant Street to Rotary Park, one of the most significant ever. Our day falls close to celebrations in memory of 9/11 creating an emotional bond as the American flag leads other flag bearers carrying the flag of their heritage. The enthusiastic reception grows each year between those who line the streets and those who carry flags.

The Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Main Street, The Historic Belknap Mill, and Frates Creative Arts Studio join together to sponsor this community-building day. It is the hard work and support of many people, organizations, businesses, and agencies in Laconia and the Lakes Region that lay the foundation for the celebration. We are proud to honor and thank them.

Our appreciation goes to our consistent major funders: The Penny PitouMilo Pike Fund of the NH Charitable Fund, Kiwanis Club of Laconia, Laconia Rotary Club, Genesis Behavioral Health, Laconia Human Relations Committee, Lutheran Social Services, Northway Bank, Meredith Village Savings Bank, and Project EXTRA of the Laconia School District.

Other businesses and organizations that donate to MMD are: Laconia Main Street, Public Service of NH, Laconia Savings Bank, NH Ball Bearing-Astro Division, dbstamps consulting, Melcher & Prescott, Zonta Club of the Lakes Region, NH Lakes Region Italian Club, Temple B’nai Israel, Vista Foods, The Irwin Zone, Child & Family Therapy, WEDBUSH, Inc., Woodshed Roasting Co., Lakeport Community Association, LRGH Auxilary, Pike Industries, Sunflower Natural Foods, Kettle Korn King, Central Baptist Church, and Stafford Oil. Individuals who supported the day through their donations were: Mary Jane Hoey, Judy Buswell & David Stamps, Zeke & Mary Ettleson, Chad & Heidi Squires, Misiaszek Turpin, Bill & Barbara Zeckhausen, John & Martha Chandler, Robert & Cathy Merwin, Leo & Polly Sanfacon, Debby Frawley Drake, Mary & David Rivers, Jim & Judy Pilliod, John Rogers, Dorothea & Richard Chesebrough, Gil & Nils Storve, and Steve & Pauline Weeks.

Mayor Mike Seymour opened the day by reading the city proclamation and governor’s proclamation declaring MMD a day of celebration made possible by the diverse gifts and contributions of all its citizens. To celebrate our 10th year we invited back some previous favorite entertainers.

Odaiko New England brought eleven drummers that thrilled all who heard them. The West African drummers of Akwaaba entered the park in full regalia to the applause of all. Goza Latin jazz played in the park Friday evening. Entertainers represented ethnic cultures of the Lakes Region, included the Greek music of Olympic

Melodies, Cajun music of Off-Shore Aces, and Scottish Country Dancers.

The sound engineering for the day was by Wayne Sanborn of Noteable Sound. His magic in giving performers their full due is spectacular.

A group of dedicated individuals start planning MMD in January. I am especially appreciative of Martha Kruse, along with Jenna Carroll, for their superb engaging and managing of the many performers. Umija Gusinac, who organized publicity, was responsible for much of the success of the day. David Stamps chaired the Finance Committee, raising the funds that made the day a success. He also manages our web site and creates the MMD program booklet. Fund raising, publicity, and performers are the core of our day, along with the many food and craft vendors.

Mary Jane Hoey was in charge of arranging for over 35 food and craft vendors. The variety of food is always amazing and sold out. Kathy James, of Genesis Behavioral Health, contacted the over 33 community resource agencies who participated, as well as managing the Headquarters Table.

Other MMD Committee members who gave freely of their time were: Janet Simmons, signs; Bob Harrington, fiscal agent; Leonard Campbell and Bob Luther, site; Paula Spink, raffle tickets; Tracie D’Amico, Howard Chase, Bobbie Thomas, Becky LaPointe, and John and Arlene Fortier.

We also had volunteers to help setup, maintain, and dismantle the day: Northway Bank was represented by Deb Jordan and Jane MacDonald; Molly Holman did a great job selling raffle tickets; Alan Robichaud helped with traffic control. The Laconia High School Football team supplied manpower for setting up the many tables and tents. Inmates from the Lakes Region Facility were on site early and late to also set-up and dismantle tents and store tables.

Genesis Behavioral Health was generous with in-kind donations. Special thanks always go to the City of Laconia Police Department who work closely with us to plan for the site and make sure that safety is maintained at all times. They are a friendly presence on the day for so many people for whom such a presence is unheard of in the countries from which they have fled. We also thank the Laconia Public Works Department for their assistance in site services, especially so that two lanes of Beacon Street E could be closed off. We appreciate the coverage by the Laconia Daily Sun and Laconia Citizen, and the many other news media throughout the state.

Special thanks are given to the Historic Belknap Mill personnel, Nancy Paquette, Todd Frasier, and Betty McGreevey, who shared in hosting the day by the Mill’s presence in the center of our activities. The Belknap Mill is central to the area and the success of the day. The fully accessible facilities at the Belknap Mill are greatly appreciated. Electricity for vendors was supplied by the Belknap Mill Society as well as Healthlink. The Belknap Mill and the Greek Orthodox Church loaned us their tables. Transsee next page

To the editor, An integral member of Meredith’s many civic organizations, the Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund continues its impressive mission: to bring holiday cheer and a practical boost to those Meredith and Center Harbor families and senior citizens who need a little additional assistance at Christmas time.

On Tuesday, October 4th, the members of the Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund committee met and finalized several initial steps to insure the success of this year’s vital program. Letters to parents/guardians, as well as application forms, were distributed on Friday, October 7 to the Meredith schools, as well as to other sites where children are enrolled. These application forms will be brought home by your sons/daughters for you parents to read carefully and to react to if you need assistance. Once you have determined your need, we ask that you complete the forms and return them to one of the following places by Friday, October 21st: Inter-Lakes Elementary School, Inter-Lakes Middle Tier office, Meredith Community Center, Meredith Police Department, Center Harbor Town Hall, Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor, CAP. If more convenient for you, these

forms may be mailed to the InterLakes Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 1516, Meredith, NH 03253. Because we have a firm deadline this year, we respectfully request that you keep the Application Form deadline date — October 21st – firmly in mind so as to allow us the time to best meet your needs. Those who do the shopping for the families served take great pride in the quality of the items purchased.

The Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund program provides splendid opportunities for townspeople – newcomers included and welcomed – to become involved. One of the important ways is through volunteerism, a satisfying and spirited experience that guarantees the self-promotion of holiday excitement and joy. If you have an interest in joining our group, you may call our new dedicated phone line number 937-0301. Another vital way to help the fund is through monetary contributions. Always graciously and gratefully accepted, these may be mailed directly to the Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund, P.O. Box 1516, Meredith, NH 03253.

The Fund thanks you for your continuing encouragement and support.

To the editor, A response to Russ Wiles: First, I don’t need sympathy from you or anyone for what I choose to do with my time. My time is none of your business. And I trust my facts.

When it comes to hearing the word bigot from folks like you, that sure is the pot call calling the kettle black.

Or should I say the bloodshot-eyed red neck pot? And if citing a couple of misguided minority minds makes you think the Tea Partiers have a wide range of minority support, then you better check the gray matter in your own brain. When I wrote my last letter, I didn’t use anyone’s name. I tried not to get personal, but apparently you felt I kicked you in the wrong place. As far

as being factious, “back atcha”. Wink!

Wink!

Just lots of fun! For ticket information call me at 542-5680. BOOOOOOOOO! Ray Corliss Laconia

JOBS from page 2 Gene Sperling, a White House economic adviser, said the administration was “slightly comforted” that the jobs figure came in better than expected.

But he said it was not good enough.

Obama, adopting a combative tone as he waits for the Republicans to settle on a nominee to oppose him, has challenged Congress to get behind his $447 billion jobs bill or risk being run out of Washington.

The Obama plan aims to jolt the economy by cutting taxes and increasing spending on schools, roads and

other public projects. He has proposed paying for it in part by raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations.

Obama’s Republican rivals are trying to persuade voters that he is to blame for high unemployment and the sluggish economy. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told Fox News Channel on Friday that Obama is criticizing Congress simply because he is “looking for someone to blame.”

The report initially sent the stock market higher. Stock prices later fell after a credit rating agency downsee next page

by Sarah Baldwin, John Shelley, and David Stamps.

The day would not have been the tremendous success that it was, of course, without the many vendors who brought their food and crafts. These are the people and organizations that

made it possible.

And lastly, we especially thank the many who came to enjoy the sunshine and a celebration of the diversity of our community. It was a wonderful day. Membership on the planning committee for 2012 is voluntary and open to all. Please join us.

Police and a number of witnesses believe this Ford Windstar van was the victim of a hit and run accident involving Gilford resident Carrie Ann Parker on Rte. 3 in Tilton on Friday. (Tilton police photos)

KEYS from page one one count of driving while under influence of drugs or alcohol.

“To them it was that bad,” Cormier said. “They risked their lives to get her to stop.”

He said one of the men first became aware of Parker’s possible impairment when he was in downtown Tilton and realized the car behind him was driving erratically.

He told the investigating officer that after she nearly rear ended him, he pulled over, let her pass and began following her.

He told police he saw Parker hit the rear end of a Ford Windstar while it was stopped in traffic at AutoServ, back up, swing around the damaged minivan and continue toward Laconia.

“She really hit the back of that minivan hard,” said Cormier who said the

rear hatch was completely caved and had there been people in the rearmost seats, the injuries could have been life threatening.

Cormier said the some of family members in the minivan were taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital with what were described as non-life threatening injuries.

He said there were a number of witnesses to the accident who were calling 9-1-1 and who waited to speak with the police.

Cormier said he wanted to thank all of the witnesses who stayed in the area and waited to be interviewed by police and the two men who stopped Parker from continuing on the road.

Parker was released on personal recognizance bail and has a court date later in the year.

from preceding page graded Italy and Spain, adding to concern about Europe’s debt crisis. The Dow Jones industrial average was flat in afternoon trading.

The figures offered some evidence that business activity is increasing. The temporary help industry added almost 20,000 jobs. And the average workweek lengthened slightly. Wages also rose a bit.

More hiring and better pay could boost consumer spending, which drives about 70 percent of the economy. When people spend more, it generates demand for businesses, which then step up hiring.

The private sector added 137,000 jobs, up from August but below July’s revised total. Governments shed 34,000 jobs. The cuts came mainly from local governments, which laid off teachers and other school employees.

State and local governments usually add jobs during economic recoveries. This time, they have cut more than a half-million jobs since the recession ended in June 2009. Without those cuts, overall job growth would be much healthier.

For example, after the recession of 1990 and 1991, state and local governments added about 18,000 jobs a month. If they had done that this month, overall job growth would have been more like 150,000 — probably enough to lower unemployment some.

In the first four months of this year, the economy added an average of 180,000 jobs a month. But then manufacturing slowed, consumer confidence crashed and Washington fell into gridlock, first over whether to raise the nation’s borrowing limit and then on how best to strengthen the economy.

County employees carry on ‘Pay Day Food Drive’ program; always looking for new contributors

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A little more than a year ago, thenCounty Attorney James Carroll conceived a pay day food drive for Belknap County employees. The idea was to help replenish the shelves of local pantries, provide county employees a chance to give to their community and for participants in the Youth Services program to engage in community service.

Though Carroll has since been named a judge, Youth Services Director Brian Loanes and case manager Tori O’Hara have continued the program, which has grown to include several other groups of people who come to work in Laconia. In addition to county employees, the program includes workers at City Hall, Circuit (District) Court, the public defender’s office, the School District, the information technology department at Lakes Region General Hospital and the law firm of Wescott, Dyer, Fitzgerald and Nichols.

Each of these locations has containers, the size of recycling bins, into which employees place nonperishable food items throughout the week. Then, a couple of Fridays each month, participants in the Youth Services program come and collect the food and deliver it all to one of the many food pantries in Belknap County, alternating the pantry each time.

Loanes said, “We try to spread it around, they’re all in need.”

Over the first year of the food drive, Loanes estimates enough food was collected to fill 250 of their bins. He said the way the food is received is one of the reasons why the food drive has continued. In at least one instance, the pantry they delivered to had completely run out of food to offer that town’s most desperate residents. “They’re so thankful, all food pantries seem to be hurting, the need is so much.”

Another reason for the program’s continuance is the opportunity it offers for participants in Belknap County Youth Services, a program created as an alternative to the conventional juvenile court system. “This is one of the things that helps the community and they can see the need for it,” said Loanes.

Helping to haul the food items on a recent Friday were Bradford Ross of Laconia and Alton resident Amber Gallentine. Gallentine said helping the

effort, “Makes me feel good, like part of the community. I’m helping people less fortunate than me.”

Ross agreed, adding that his involvement in the food drive will provide “good Kharma.”

Loanes and O’Hara are looking for more local businesses who would like to be a part of the program. Those who would like to help them keep local food pantries stocked should call 527-5493.

Maintaining common access & multiple uses for public lands emerges as key concern at N.H. recreation forum

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Maintaining public access to recreational land and ensuring that it is available for multiple uses emerged as key concerns of the 30 or so people who took part in a community conversation on outdoors recreation held at the Laconia Senior Center Thursday night.

Mike Persson of Laconia, one of the facilitators for the three-hour long session, said that there was good input from a number of people with different perspectives at the small group session that he was involved with.

“Maintaining public access for multiple users, whether ATVers, hikers and bikers or equestrians was the major priority the group identified,’’ said Persson.

He said that there was concern expressed by members of his group over the possible sale or lease of stateowned park land or facilities and whether or not public access would be maintained if that happened.

The meeting was one of seven held statewide this week on local and state outdoor recreation and the input is being used to develop priorities for the statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan currently being revised by the state Office of Energy and Planning (OEP) and the state Department of Resources and Economic Development (DRED).

Having an approved comprehensive plan on file with the National Park Service is a requirement for participation in the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which funds between $1.5 and $3 million a year for qualifying projects in New Hampshire.

Many of the discussion topics which came up in the different group sessions were filtered out during the prioritization process, such as opposition by several people to a proposed sailing training facility at NOBEL from page 2 reconciliation,” Sirleaf said Friday from her home in Monrovia, the capital. She said Liberians should be proud that both she and Gbowee were honored.

“Leymah Gbowee worked very hard with women in Liberia from all walks of life to challenge the dictatorship, to sit in the sun and in the rain advocating for peace,” Sirleaf said. “I believe we both accept this on behalf of the Liberian people and the credit goes to them.”

Gbowee, who took a flight to New York on Friday, said she was shocked to learn she had won.

“Everything I do is an act of survival for myself, for the group of people that I work with,” she said.

“So if you are surviving, you don’t take you survival strategies or tactics as anything worth of a Nobel.”

One of the first people she told was a fellow airline passenger.

“Sat by a guy for five hours on the flight and we never spoke to each other, but I had to tap him and say, ‘Sir, I just won the Nobel Peace Prize.’”

Gbowee, 39, has long campaigned for the rights of women and against rape, organizing Christian and Muslim women to challenge Liberia’s warlords. In

Ellacoya State Park on Lake Winnipesaukee and a proposal for extending the Winnipesaukee River Basin Project sewer line completely around Lake Winnipesaukee.

One of the discussion participants was Ron Martel, a Tennessee resident, who spends a lot of time in New Hampshire boating during the summer and skiing during the winter.

“I was there to offer the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t live in the state but enjoys the outdoors recreation opportunities that it offers. I enjoyed the process and thought that it got you focused on the overall issues, one of which was keeping land open to the public for recreational uses,” said Martel.

Jack Savage of Middleton, who works for the NH Forest Society, said that he keeps his large tract of land open to all kinds of recreational users and has witnessed courtesy and respect between different types of users such as snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and equestrians and ATV riders.

He said that the conflicts between different types of users are overstated and said that more use is better than low use as higher use provides a presence on recreational trails that helps monitor activity.

“It’s a case of good use drives out bad use’’ said Savage, Alan Robichaud of Lakes Region Listens, a local affiliate of NH Listens, which is conducting the series of statewide conversations on the plan under a contract with DRED, said that the information which was gathered will be an important part of developing a revised outdoor recreation plan for the state.

NH Listens plans to schedule future sessions with interested recreational groups around the state for additional input on the plan, which won’t be finalized until 2013.

2003, she led hundreds of female protesters — the “women in white” — through Monrovia to demand swift disarmament of fighters who continued to prey on women even though a peace deal ending 14 years of near-constant civil war had been reached months earlier.

“You’re supposed to be our liberators, but if you finish everyone, who will you rule?” Gbowee asked rebel official Sekou Fofana during one march that year.

Gbowee was honored by the committee for mobilizing women “across ethnic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long war in Liberia, and to ensure women’s participation in elections.”

Gbowee works in Ghana’s capital as the director of Women Peace and Security Network Africa. The group’s website says she is a mother of five.

She said that although she had never considered herself worthy of the prize, “women have important roles in peace and security issues and I think that this is an acknowledgment of that.”

“The world is functioning on one side of its brain” because women’s skills and intelligence are “not being used to advance the cause of the world,” she said.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 8, 2011— Page 11

Meredith woman said to have violated restraining order on consecutive days MEREDITH — Despite a number of court orders, Aleta Tinker just can’t seem to stay away from her husband and is now being held on $500 cash-only bail on a contempt charge.

Ccourt affidavits filed by N.H. State Police say Tinker, 51, of 2527 Red Gate Lane was first arrested Sunday and charged with one count of criminal mischief, one count of criminal trespassing, and two counts of violating failing to comply with a court order prohibiting her from having any contact whatsoever with her husband who lives in Center Harbor.

Troopers John Forbes and Mallory Littman said they were called to Tinker’s husband’s home Sunday after he returned home from an evening out with friends and found the front tires of his truck had been slashed.

He said the screen on the front window appeared to have been removed and replaced upside-down and the television he had left on for the dog was now off. He said there was a still-cold beer opened on the counter, some food in the oven that he had not put there and his mail had been moved.

Tinker allegedly left him a note and told him she would be visiting with a mutual friend who lives nearby. The victim said the couple split up in July and are both ordered to stay away from each other after a fight. He said Tinker no longer has a house key.

While Trooper George was at the house, he said Tinker called the victim’s cell phone but he answered instead and the two agreed to meet and talk on Main Street in Meredith.

George said it appeared Tinker had been drinking and had “difficulty keeping her story straight,” often slurring her words.

She was held Sunday night in Belknap County Jail and appeared Monday morning in district court. She was released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail but within hours of her release, said George, she returned to her husband’s Center Harbor home and was rearrested by George and the Center Harbor Police.

Held overnight again in Belknap County jail, she was ordered held on $500 cash by Judge Jim Carroll Tuesday morning.

George said the state police continue to investigate and there may be further charges against Tinker.

ALABAMA from page 2 eral judge upheld them, and they help make the Alabama law stricter than similar laws enacted in Arizona, Utah, Indiana and Georgia. Federal judges in those states have blocked all or parts of those measures.

Justice Department attorneys outlined several problems they have with the Alabama overhaul.

They worry the law is likely to expose legal residents “to new difficulties in routine dealings” and could force federal authorities to deal with lowrisk immigrants rather than the most dangerous criminals. And, they say, the attempt to drive illegal immigrants “off the grid” could disrupt both diplomatic relationships and national policy.

“Other states and their citizens are poorly served by the Alabama policy, which seeks to drive aliens from Alabama rather than achieve cooperation with the federal government to resolve a national problem,” the filing said.

Immigration has become a hot-button issue in Alabama over the past decade as the state’s Hispanic population has grown by 145 percent to about 185,600. U.S. Census figures show the group represents about 4 percent of the state population, but some counties in north Alabama have large Spanish-speaking communities and schools where most of the students are Hispanic.

State Republicans have long sought to clamp down on illegal immigration and passed the law earlier this year after gaining control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. Bentley soon signed the measure, saying it was crucial to protect the jobs of legal residents amid the tough economy.

Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard said the state was forced to act because the federal government ignored its responsibility to enforce immigration law.

“In Alabama we believe in obedience to law because it promotes fairness and protects the rights of everybody,” said Hubbard, a Republican. “That’s

why instead of just talking about it, we took action to ensure nobody is allowed to cheat the system and ignore our laws.”

The measure has had an immediate impact.

Education officials say scores of immigrant fami-

lies have withdrawn their children from classes or kept them home from school. Some towns and urban areas have also reported a sudden exodus of Hispanics, some of whom told officials they planned to leave the state to avoid trouble with the law.

TRIAL from page one and drove the pair, pled guilty and is serving a prison sentence for her part in the conspiracy. Earlier this week she testified that late on the night of June 5 Noucas, accompanied by Dawn Dragon, came to the Laconia apartment she shared with Hart and proposed the robbery. She said that she gave the two men ski masks and Hart armed himself with the bat.

When the four reached Meredith, Sallies claimed that Noucas took a knife, one of a set in her kitchen, from Dragon’s pocketbook. “The boys were going to

go upstairs together and scare this kid into giving them drugs, money or both,” she told the court.

Sallies told the court that after waiting for some 15 minutes Noucas staggered from the building, bleeding profusely and calling for help. He got into the car and she sped to the Meredith Police Station, where she laid him on the ground, told the dispatcher to call 911 then returned to Lake Street, which was crawling with state and local police, to look for Hart.

In her opening statement Assistant County Attorney Carley Ahern indicated that DNA evidence would link Noucas to one of the ski masks as well as a latex glove.

Testifying yesterday, Sergeant Frederick Lulka and Trooper John Sonia of the Major Crime Unit, who collected evidence at 16 Lake Street and the vicinity as well as from the Meredith Police Station, said that two ski masks were found in the third floor bedroom where Hart was killed, one near his body and another near the doorway. Lulka said that a third ski mask was found in Sallies’s car, along with another latex glove, which was discovered in the glove compartment. Police found yet another latex glove on the ground near the police station, where Sallies left Noucas.

Meanwhile, Trooper Michael Kokoski, who attended the autopsy of Hart to collect evidence found on his body, testified that Hart was wearing two latex gloves, one on each hand, when he was

killed. The state has yet to present the results of either fingerprint analysis or DNA testing.

Apart from the masks and gloves, police searching the bedroom testified they found a large amount of currency in a cardboard box together with an electronic scale and “numerous items of drug evidence.”

Earlier in the day Detective Corporal John Eichhorn of the Meredith Police Department, who arrested Noucas in Laconia 10 days after the killing, testified that while in transit Noucas told him press reports of the incident were mistaken. He told me, Eichhorn recounted, that “it said in the paper that he had had brought the knife with him and that wasn’t true.”

Using a magnet, the Meredith Department of Public Works retrieved a knife from a storm drain on Lake Street, not far from the scene. Eichhorn testified that after initially declining to cooperate, Sallies told him she “wanted to come clean about what had taken place” and agreed to a search of her home in Laconia. He said that there he found a set of kitchen knives strewn across the floor. One of the set was missing, which he said appeared to match the knife found by police.

Lulka testifed that another knife was found at 16 Lake Street, but could not recall if it was discovered in the third floor bedroom, leaving open the question of what knife was used against either Hart or Noucas.

Or for that matter Rivera.

Benjamin Herrmann, a financial planner attending a wedding, testified yesterday that around 12:30 a.m. on the night of the incident he encountered a man matching Rivera’s description near the corner of Dover Street and Route 3. He said that the man was bleeding heavily from a cut to his hand and perhaps another to his arm and asked him to call 911.

The trial resumes on Wednesday, October 12 at 10 a.m.

Gilford teachers & school board agree to get help in reaching contract accord GILFORD — The School District announced on Friday that collective bargaining between the School Board and the Gilford Educator’s Association (teachers’ union) had reached an impasse and would proceed to mediation, with the hope that a proposed

contract will be ready to present to voters at in March of next year.

Educators are currently working under the terms of a three-year contract that will expire at the end of the school year.

FIRE from page one filed a brief with the N.H. Supreme Court asking it to overrule a Merrimack County’s judge’s decision that the Fire Marshal is a law enforcement agency and, as such, doesn’t have to release it’s files to Baldi.

A portion of the report that was released said there criminal charges could be forthcoming.

On the night of the fire Baldi told investigators that she realized someone, a squatter, had been staying in an upstairs room when her alarm system sounded just before closing time the

night before the fire.

Responding firefighters said something had been knocked into one of the smoke detectors, triggering the alarm, and it appeared someone was staying in a second floor bedroom.

Deputy Chief Deb Pendergast said the bedroom appeared to have been occupied because the television had been on and a bed appeared as though someone had been on or in it.

The day after the blaze, Fire Chief Ken Erickson said the fire, reported around 3 a.m. by a passerby, likely see next page

from preceding page started on the second floor by a misplaced light bulb but any further details would be in the fire marshal’s report.

He said it appeared to be accidental.

Baldi’s insurer, Lloyds of London, has refused to pay the insurance claim saying she didn’t meet the fire suppression standards iterated in the policy. She has filed suit against the giant insurer.

Meanwhile, the time has come and gone for Baldi to rebuild within the existing footprint without going through the city planning process and meeting current zoning standards, including setback requirements. According to Laconia City Code, a property owner can rebuilt within the same foot print within one year of the date of the loss, in this case Sept. 17, 2010, provided the good faith effort of a building permit application is registered.

City Manager Scott Myers has said that without demolishing the old building, there will be no new building permit issued. He has said the long run goal of the city is to get the property back into productive use. and Baldi has said she would like to rebuild and reopen a restaurant.

In May a district court judge ruled the building was unsafe and should be torn down, but Baldi appealed the ruling to Belknap County Superior Court where a status conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Oct. 12.

Many in the Weirs business community have expressed outrage that the building is still standing and said they consider it an eyesore that mars an important gateway to the city. The property lies off Rte. 3, just north of the Weirs Channel and directly across the roadway from the iconic Weirs Beach sign.

Carpenter shuts out Phillies on 3 hits & Cardinals advance to NLCS to play Brewers, who beat D-backs in 10th PHILADELPHIA -- Chris Carpenter tossed a three-hitter to outpitch old pal Roy Halladay in a duel for the ages and the St. Louis Cardinals edged the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 Friday night in the deciding Game 5 of their NL playoff series.

St. Louis will face Milwaukee in the NL Championship Series.

Nyjer Morgan delivered an RBI single in the 10th inning to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 Friday in Game 5 and send the Brewers on to play divisional rival St. Louis for the right to go to the world series. After the game he was taking it all in and letting his oversized, oddball personality out.

“It’s a lot, man,” Morgan said. “Basically just everything that I’ve had to overcome, just the stuff that people go out there and perceive about me, everything. Just all my haters. I just wanted to show them that I can play this game, even though I have a fun, bubbly personality. I still come to win, and I’m a winner.”

In Philadelphia, the wild-card Cardinals scored in the first inning when Rafael Furcal led off with a triple and Skip Schumaker followed with a double.

And that was it.

The pitching duel between Roy Halladay and Chris Carpenter may not have been a World Series game, but it’s going to remembered as one of the great pitching matchups we’ve seen, writes David Schoenfield. Story Heavily favored Philadelphia never broke through against Carpenter.

Ryan Howard grounded out to end the game and hurt his leg coming out of the batter’s box -- he limped a couple of steps and crumpled to the ground as St. Louis started to celebrate.

“It was some kind of fun, getting out

there and was able to get that one run early off Doc, he was dominant the rest of the game,” Carpenter said.

“He’s a great friend of mine, and like I said, he did a great job tonight also,” he said.

The Cardinals needed a monumental collapse by Atlanta in the final month and major help from the 102win Phillies just to reach the playoffs.

Now they’re heading to Milwaukee for the NL championship series starting Sunday following a stunning upset in which they beat three of Philadelphia’s four aces: Halladay, Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt.

Three of baseball’s four openinground matchups went to a deciding Game 5, and all of them were pitching-rich thrillers. Detroit held off the New York Yankees 3-2 on Thursday night, and Milwaukee beat Arizona in 10 innings earlier Friday.

Then, the showdown between Carpenter and Halladay topped them all.

Trailing two games to one, the Cardinals began their comeback with a win in Game 4. That night in St. Louis, a squirrel scampered across home plate as Schumaker batted in the middle innings -- if the Cardinals keep winning, their fans will certainly go nuts, thanks to their “Rally Squirrel.”

Coincidentally, a squirrel was caught at Citizens Bank Park before Game 5. Not a good omen, apparently, for the Phillies.

“I think guys we’re just relaxed and having fun,” Carpenter said. “We put ourselves into position where everybody was expecting us to have no chance and we just started playing like the team we knew we were. And we were fortunate to get some help back into it with Atlanta losing and see next page

Chocorua Lodge celebrates 20th year of scholarship donations with $20,000 check to Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation The newest board member of Chocorua Lodge #51 Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Steven Zachowski, hands a check for $20,000 to Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation Executive Director Joan Cormier, while IOOF Past Master Maurice Simond looks on. The Chocorua Lodge was established in 1869 and since 1991 has been a substantial contributor to the foundation. This year’s gift brings the lodge’s scholarship endowment fund balance to $120,595, which has resulted in over $42,000 in awards thus far. “We are so very grateful to all the members of this benevolent organization for their continued generosity and to Mr. Simond, who has served as trustee, vice president and president from 1966 through 1988,” said Cormier.

from preceding page we were playing well the rest of that month.”

Carpenter was over 100 pitches when he took the mound in the ninth. He retired Chase Utley on a fly to the warning track in center and got Hunter Pence on a grounder.

Howard was next, and Carpenter got the big slugger to end a most improbable series win.

Catcher Yadier Molina threw his mask toward the mound, Carpenter turned to the left of first looking for someone to celebrate with before his teammates finally got there, led by Albert Pujols. The congregation settled at second base, as just off to the right, while Howard was carried off the field and into his dugout.

Howard took a called third strike with the tying run on second base to end the Phillies’ season last year in the NLCS against San Francisco.

The expectations for Philadelphia were even higher this year after Lee returned. The loss meant the teams with the top two records and payrolls in the majors -- the Phillies and Yankees -- were gone in the first round, even while holding home-field advantage.

Carpenter walked none and struck out three

in the matchup of Cy Young Award winners who were longtime teammates in Toronto. The aces had already agreed to take a fishing trip together after this season.

Halladay was outstanding, too, but his year is over. Tagged by the first two batters, he allowed six hits overall, striking out seven in eight innings.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You crave privacy, especially where loved ones and the neighbors are concerned.

If you can’t have the whole house or apartment to yourself, then at least a private room will serve the need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It’s no secret that you love the activity and mental stimulation involved in travel. Whether or not the trip goes as expected, it always broadens your horizons. So when is your next getaway?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The truth is not always welcome and may cause rumpled feelings. Perhaps it would be better not to speak it, unless, by your withholding the information, someone will actually be harmed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There’s someone who fascinates you, and today your mind reels with imaginings of what this person’s life is really like. The only way to know is to make an entrance into this person’s life and find out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are in a sensitive mood. You’re also a terrific actor. Despite outward appearances of being calm, you can often be deeply wounded in your inner being.

Stick around the sweeter, nicer people you know today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). Fortune favors you. An impulsive decision turns out to be brilliant. Your optimism attracts love this month. November brings a new teacher. The lessons will not be academic. Your vision and drive will be supported in January. You’ll provide work that others do gratefully.

March features entertainment and games. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 39, 1 and 22.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You do like to get right to the heart of things.

Some will appreciate your directness, though most will need to warm into ideas -- to mosey around for a while before homing in on the bottom-line truth of the matter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It takes a lot for you to lose your temper. Your patience is legendary. However, when the raging bull is finally prodded past the point of no return, the others should really get out of your way or prepare to be trampled.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Suddenly and inexplicably, the element of risk is not one with which you feel entirely comfortable. Heed the inclination to play it safe, and you’ll later be very glad you did.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a strong sense of what is appropriate, and yet you also feel compelled to go against it entirely. This rebellion, however small it may be, will make some kind of personal and perhaps artistic statement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be feeling quite sociable, provided those nearby meet your standards, which is to say they are cheerful, interesting and seem very likely to be full of good and useful information.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do not allow yourself to get overwhelmed. Be courageous. Remember that there’s always a way to break down big events into small, doable -- perhaps even enjoyable -- tasks.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even when change seems wise, there is something in your nature today that doesn’t want it. So, you’re not ready.

Resist and stall. When the moment is really right, you’ll feel it.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 8, 2011— Page 17

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Oct. 8, the 281st day of 2011. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wis., and in several communities in Michigan.

On this date: In 1869, 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce died in Concord, NH In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132 others in the Argonne Forest in France.

In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh.

In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1970, Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named winner of the Nobel Prize for literature.

In 1981, at the White House, President Ronald Reagan greeted former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon, who were preparing to travel to Egypt for the funeral of Anwar Sadat.

One year ago: Imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (lee-OO’ show-BOH’) won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, prompting a furious response from China. British aid worker Linda Norgrove, who’d been taken captive in Afghanistan, was killed during a U.S. special forces rescue attempt, apparently by a U.S. grenade. Gen. James Jones announced he was quitting as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser.

Albertina Walker, the Grammy-winning singer from Chicago known as the “Queen of Gospel,” died at age 81.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

What kind of house do you drive?

The residential home inventory in the communities in this Lakes Region market report dropped from 1,399 properties for sale last month down to 1,336 as of October 1. That total is still 7-percent higher than last October 1 and keeps us at a 22 month supply of homes. The average asking price stands at $518,193 with a median price point at $264,950 compared to an average $569,141 and a median price of $289,900 last October 1.

I bought a new car a few weeks ago and it reminded me of some parallels in the home and car buying processes. For most people a home is the largest purchase they will make in their lifetime. But the way car prices are increasing and home prices are dropping that could change soon.

Anyway, the first comparison I can draw between these two purchases is an old car industry saying that applies to selling homes just as equally. The “G rated” version of that saying is “There’s a derrière for every seat.” Despite how ugly, beat up, worn out, unconventional, impractical, or even unreliable a car is, there is usually someone that will buy it for the right price. Even brand new cars that get poor reviews, ratings, mileage, or are just plain butt ugly also seem to find a certain number of buyers that are willing to ante up hard earned cash (more likely hard earned credit) to own such a jewel. One only need to look back at the AMC Gremlin and Pacer, Ford Pinto, Chevy Vega, and

Ford Edsel to see not only truly ugly cars but cars that seemed to rust away on a dry summer day before your very eyes. But people bought them. I have to admit, I had a Chevy Vega.

Live and learn.

Homes are the same way it seems. Many times an agent will list a home that seems like (at least to the agent) that there could only be one buyer for it in the entire United States. It could be an architectural wreck, have a totally screwed up layout, functionally obsolete, or cosmetically challenged yet sometimes (just sometimes) this is the home that sells before all of his other listings. Go figure. You can’t sell the nicest house you have, but someone jumps to buy this ugly duckling of home that reminds you of a Renault LeCar (remember those?)

The point is that everyone has different tastes and priorities in automobiles and in homes. Some people go for strictly mileage and don’t care that their car looks like a juice box that could only do 0-60mph in 45 seconds on a downhill run. Some folks need something utilitarian and go for the SUV or pick-up truck. Other people go for comfort and don’t care about the mileage. Still others go for exotic and upscale, to heck with the cost. Some home buyers are just starting out and need an entry level home along the lines of a Kia, Hyunsee next column

SANBORN from previous column dai, or Chevy Cruze. Other home buyers are looking for the run of the mill daily driver like a basic ranch or cape. No frills or anything fancy. They just want something to live in that’s their own and something that’s definitely reliable. A Malibu, Taurus, or Camry would be a good fit. Other buyers are extremely picky and want a high quality, custom built home with just the right view. These folks might want to build their own car that is loaded just the way they want it. Vacation home buyers look for something fun, something comparable to a new Mustang or Camaro convertible. Then you have the waterfront buyers that will only buy a home with the quality of a Mercedes, the spunk of a BMW M5, and the classic look of a Jaguar.

Another comparable aspect of car and home buying is the buying process itself. These days the majority of people will likely start their shopping on line for both cars and homes. After all, what else do you do at work? You can research the offerings, “build” it on line, take a 360 degree virtual tour or virtual test drive, find out what the price should be, and determine your monthly payments. But it’s in the real world, where the rubber meets the road, that really matters. Seeing homes and cars in person up close is the only way to make a decision. Viewing a home in person or a test drive of a car is the only way you will know for sure if it is right for you. They have to fit. They have to click.

Buying a home or car is very much about personal choice. It can be impulsive and emotional. Just ask the guy that walks into the show room and sees a shiny, new, candy apple red Corvette that seems to be whispering his name. (It’s happened to me before, several times.) Dealers always put the prettiest and often the most expensive cars in the show room just for you.

While home buying may not be quite that impulsive, buyers do generally know when they have found the right home. You can see that same Corvette look in their eyes when they know it’s the one.

So what kind of car is your home? If it’s for sale wash it, wax it, shampoo the carpets, and make it showroom ready if you want someone to fall in love with it. There are too many Gremlins on the market already…

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 8, 2011— Page 19

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: More than 40 years ago, I was the target of cruel bullying. A girl who hated me started a vicious rumor that ruined my reputation. She said I slept with the entire football team. If that wasn’t enough, she and a carful of girls drove by my house one night while I was sitting with my parents and blurted out this terrible lie.

My father went to her house and told her to stop, but it didn’t help. My own mother questioned me about the truth of it.

This lie has trailed me my whole life. It has haunted me for years, and I have had moments of self-loathing to the point of wanting to die. At the time, I even went to the police station, but they thought it was funny.

This “girl” now is the pillar of the community and a do-gooder, but I’ve been told she is hateful. My question is: How do I get over this? I went to therapy once and asked about confronting this person. I was told it was pointless, that she doesn’t even remember. This rumor destroyed my life. What should I do? -- Strong but Broken Dear Broken: If confronting this woman would make you feel better, go right ahead. However, she seems the type who would derive great satisfaction from knowing how much power she has had over your life for the past 40 years. And you have given her that power by clinging to your hurt. The best revenge is to live a terrific, rewarding life in which this woman is insignificant. You need to heal from this grievous wound, and it requires forgiveness and acceptance so you can move forward without anger and regret. Please return for counseling. One session is not enough to work through this.

Dear Annie: My husband is a retired supervisor from a local government job. As a result, we often go to func-

tions where all employees are invited, both the retired and those still working.

One of the people my husband hired before he left singles me out and makes embarrassing remarks about me in front of the group, but only when my husband is out of the room. I have tried to politely ignore him and have also asked for some support from my husband. He thinks I should just suck it up. As a result of this unkind behavior, I no longer wish to attend these functions.

Now my husband is angry with me. What am I supposed to do? -- Sad Dear Sad: When adolescent boys had a crush on a girl, they would pull their pigtails. When this man makes inappropriate comments about you, put on your sultriest look, smile and say loudly for everyone to hear, “My, my. You are really desperate for my attention, especially when my husband isn’t around.” No matter what he says after that, you should respond as if he is trying to hide an infatuation. That should do it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Spell Check,” whose college friend cannot spell and is a special-ed teacher.

I, too, am a special education teacher and can’t spell to save my life. But it has never impeded the ability of my students to learn. I even use my weakness to my benefit.

I announce at the beginning of the school year that I am dyslexic. I explain that if I misspell something, they may politely raise their hand and correct me and receive an extra-credit point toward their next quiz. You should see the additional participation and improved grades!

Being a bad speller does not mean I’m unintelligent, nor does it mean I cannot teach. I have earned my degree and my job. -- Dyslexic and Proud in Utah

Federal prosecutors intend to crack down on California pot dispensaries SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Federal prosecutors announced an aggressive crackdown against California pot dispensaries Friday, vowing to shut down dozens of growing and sales operations and saying that the worst offenders are using the cover of medical marijuana to act as storefront drug dealers.

Officials described it as the first coordinated statewide offensive against marijuana dealers and suppliers who use California’s 15-year-old medical marijuana law as legal cover for running sophisticated drug trafficking ventures in plain sight.

“California’s marijuana industry supplies the nation,” said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner, citing a 2009 federal study that 72 percent of marijuana plants eradicated nationwide were grown in California. “Huge amounts of marijuana grown here in

this state is flowing east to other states, and huge amounts of money are flowing back in the opposite direction.”

The actions were geared toward stopping a trend that has seen hundreds of pot shops open their doors across the state.

One example cited by the prosecutors Friday: In one Orange County strip mall, eight of the 11 second-floor suites are occupied by dispensaries and doctors’ offices for doctors where healthy individuals obtain “sham” recommendations to use medical marijuana.

It is “a Costco, Walmart-type model that we see across California,” said Andre Birotte Jr., U.S. attorney in the Los Angeles-area. Some people making money from medical marijuana openly revel in what some

have called “the new California gold rush,” he said.

Landlords leasing property to dozens of warehouses and agricultural parcels where marijuana is being grown and retail spaces where pot is sold over the counter are receiving written warnings to evict their tenants or face criminal charges or seizure of their assets, the state’s four U.S. attorneys said.

“The intention regarding medical marijuana under California state law was to allow marijuana to be supplied to seriously ill people on a nonprofit basis,” said U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, the top federal law enforcement officer for the San Francisco Bay area. “What we are finding, however, is that California’s laws have been hijacked by people who are in this to get rich and don’t care at all about sick people.”

The crackdown comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical marijuana. For two years before that, federal officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors’ recommendations.

The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that guidance into action.

The crackdown will likely unify marijuana growers and sellers in a drive to change federal policy, National Cannabis Industry Association spokeswoman Melissa Milam said.

“We’re not going anywhere. We’re mothers, we’re patients, we’re family members of patients,” she said.

“We want to pay taxes, we want to be able to make deposits at our bank, we want to be a business.”

Not all of the thousands of storefront pot dispensaries thought to be operating in the state are being targeted in the crackdown, which also involves new indictments and arrests of marijuana growers throughout the state over the past two weeks, said Wagner, who represents the state’s Central Valley.

The strategies they are using vary somewhat, with warning letters issued by the U.S. attorney in San Diego giving recipients 45 days to comply and property owners in Los Angeles and the Central Coast given just two weeks to evict pot dispensaries or growers.

U.S. said to have just ended its fiscal year $1.3-trillion in the red

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government report released on Friday predicts that the federal budget hit a near-record $1.3 trillion in the justcompleted fiscal year.

The figure matches last year’s deficit tally but shows slight improvement over a record set two years ago.

The Congressional Budget Office analysis is in line with previous estimates but offers yet another reminder of the government’s precarious fiscal position — just as a congressional supercommittee is working to produce at least $1.2 trillion in deficit savings over the coming decade.

The 2009 record deficit of $1.4 trillion was registered as the country struggled through a recession and was in the midst of the Wall St. bailout. Continuing weakness in the economy has kept tax revenues low. The revenue picture did improve in 2011 as individual income tax receipts rose 22 percent to $1.1 trillion, CBO estimated.

The economy is being weighed down by higher oil prices, an economic

slowdown in Europe, and continuing weakness in the housing sector. As a result, corporate income tax receipts dropped by 6 percent.

Interest payments on the $14.9 trillion national debt spiked by 17 percent, to $266 billion, despite historically low rates. But the cost of unemployment benefits dropped by 24 percent as fewer claims were filed.

Lower war costs limited the increase in military spending to just over 1 percent, CBO said.

Most economists believe the most important measure of the deficit is to compare it against the size of the economy. The 2011 deficit equaled 8.6 percent of gross domestic product, a slight drop from the 8.9 percent of GDP registered last year. It’ll take major changes to the way the government does business — some combination of new revenues and major spending cuts — to get the deficit down to about 3 percent of GDP, the level that many analysts say is sustainable.
