MEREDITH — The Meredith Center Store is a one-stop shop for hunters.

Not only can they buy their hunting license there, but those skilled or lucky enough to bag a deer can also have it weighed in (the store is an official deer registration session), and have it cut up and turned into steaks, roasts, stew meat, hamburg, and even sausage.

Owned by Barry and Diana Ladd for the 14 years, the store’s focus has always been on custom cut high quality meats, especially during the summer months when it’s backyard barbecue season and their business triples.

The meat display case at the store is a steak lover’s paradise, filled with large and well-marbled cuts of see sTORe page 10

Aim of defense is to distance Kelly from shots that were fired

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The defense attorney for the man who was the proximate cause of a five-hour stand-off in Belmont yesterday continued to chip away at the testimony of a number of police officers who were on Union Road on Sept. 2 and 3, 2010. Several

Mark Sisti, who represents Christopher Kelly, 34, formerly of Belmont, got five police officers to say they had not seen Kelly with a gun or in a room with a gun that night, that he voluntarily came out Modern Woodmen

Cain struggles to contain allegations of harassment

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain denied on Tuesday that he’s changing his story as he struggles to contain the fallout from sexual harassment allegations that could threaten his recently surging campaign. He also suggested his race could be a factor in the storm.

The White House contender’s contradictory explanations over two days have raised questions about details of the allegations from back in the 1990s and about his current ability to manage a crisis in the national spotlight. The accusations, relating to his time as head of the National Restaurant Association, have surfaced just as he’s risen in national polls in the GOP nomination fight two months before the leadoff Iowa caucuses.

He said Tuesday night on Fox News that he believes there are some Democrats who want him defeated because he’s an unconventional candidate “achieving some unexpected, unconventional results,” and there could be some on the right “who do not want see CAIN page 15

Chaos in Greece after call for debt referendum ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The Greek government teetered and stock markets around the world plummeted Tuesday after a hard-won European plan to save the Greek economy was suddenly thrown into doubt by the prospect of a public vote.

One day after Prime Minister George Papandreou stunned Europe by calling for a referendum, the ripples reached from Athens, where some of his own lawmakers rebelled against him, to Wall Street, where

the Dow Jones industrial average plunged almost 300 points.

Papandreou convened his ministers Tuesday night and insisted his decision to call for a referendum on Greece’s place in Europe — which would be the first since Greeks voted to abolish the monarchy in 1974 — was right.

“We will not implement any program by force, but only with the consent of the Greek people,” Papandreou told his min-

isters, according to a text of his speech released by his office. “This is our democratic tradition and we demand that it is also respected abroad. And I believe it will be respected.”

Papandreou said the Greek people were being called on to determine whether or not they wanted the new deal and to remain in the euro currency used by 17 European Union nations. see GREECE page 14

NEW YORK (AP) — A wave of selling swept across Wall Street and stock markets around the world Tuesday after Greece’s prime minister said he would call a national vote on an unpopular European plan to rescue that nation’s economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average finished down nearly 300 points. It swung in 100 point bursts throughout the day as investors reacted to sometimes conflicting headlines about the next steps in Greece’s long-running debt crisis. Treasurys and other assets considered safe surged. The

stocks of major banks, including Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, were hit hard.

Intense selling roiled markets in Europe.

Italy’s main stock index dropped 6.8 percent. France’s fell 5.4 percent and Germany’s fell 5 percent.

The value of the dollar rose, and bond prices jumped so dramatically that analysts said they were stunned. Analysts said the bond action reflected fears that the turmoil in Greece would tear at the fabric of Europe’s financial system and create a crisis that could engulf the entire

European Union, which together forms the world’s largest economy.

“This brings all of the concerns about Europe back to the front burner,” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James. “If this ends up turning into a financial catastrophe in Europe, then no one will escape it.”

The prime minister of Greece said unexpectedly Monday that he would put the European rescue plan to a popular vote, the first referendum to be held in Greece since 1974. see STOCKS page 14

Bank of America backs down on plan to charge $5 a month for debit card fee

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America Corp. is scrapping its plan to charge a $5 monthly fee for debit card purchases after outraged customers threatened an exodus.

The about-face comes as customers across the country petitioned the bank and

mobilized to close their accounts in favor of credit unions and community banks.

The outcry prompted other major banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co., to cancel trial tests of their own debit card fees.

Bank of America, the nation’s second largest bank, said it reversed course after listening to an outcry from customers.

Anne Pace, a spokeswoman for Bank of America, declined to say whether there see DEBIT CARDS page 9

Abroad, Obama needs respect, not love The argument is being made in some quarters that, however unsuccessful Barack Obama’s domestic policies have been, his record in foreign policy has been successful.

But when you examine the claims of success, they seem a bit peculiar.

Take the widely read New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.

Last week, he argued that Obama’s “lead from behind” approach to Libya worked much better than what turned out to be the Bush administration’s protracted involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. He’s certainly right in saying our troops are not mired down in Libya. But it’s unclear how things will work out there, as it is in Afghanistan.

As for Iraq, let’s hope that military scholars Frederick and Kimberly Kagan are wrong when they say that the Obama administration’s inability to achieve its goal of a U.S. troop presence there has converted what was a limited success into “retreat” and “failure.”

Remember that we were told that the election of Obama would make America more popular in the world and that his readiness to negotiate without preconditions with the leaders of countries like Iran and North Korea would make their leaders more willing to see things our way.

“He was naive how much his star power,” Friedman admits, “or that of his secretary of state, would get others to swoon in behind us.”

“Naive” is a kind way to put it.

Obama seemed to think that the replacement of an uncouth Texan by a nuanced African-American would convert determined enemies of the United States — a supposition that is one of those irritable mental gestures that pass for thought in the faculty lounge.

Iran is run by a regime that has been committing acts of war against us for more than 30 years, starting with the seizure of diplomats — a violation of the first rule of international law. North Korea is run by a gangster regime that starves its people and tries to prevent all contact with the outside world. Astonishingly, foreign policy analyst Fareed Zakaria, writing in The Washington Post after a trip to Tehran, calls for Obama to “return to his original approach and test the Iranians to see if there is any room for dialogue and agreement.”

Give Friedman credit for recognizing that Obama’s “hopes of engaging Iran foundered on the rocks of, well, Iran.” Also give Friedman credit for noting, in a column prais-

ing Obama’s foreign policy, that his Arab-Israeli diplomacy “has been a mess,” that he hasn’t assembled “a multilateral coalition to buttress the Arab Awakening” and that “his global climate policy is an invisible embarrassment.”

Friedman defends Obama on the grounds that the world is “messier” than it was in the days of Henry Kissinger and Ronald Reagan. Well, maybe. We don’t have the bipolar conflict between the Free World and the Soviet Union to structure our policy anymore.

What I see in Obama’s foreign policy is a retreat from the dreamy assumptions on which he campaigned to a reluctant and stumbling reversion in many areas to policies resembling those of George W. Bush. Obama, after scorning the policy of promoting democracy that George W. Bush proclaimed in his 2005 inauguration speech (but didn’t pursue rigorously afterward), and after reacting with sublime indifference to the Green protests in Iran in 2009, is now talking up democracy from time to time, though only after hesitation. He took a brave but long-delayed decision to double down in Afghanistan and has authorized drone attacks on terrorists in Pakistan and Yemen that some of his appointees would have denounced as criminal if Bush were still in office.

But he is also sharply cutting back the defense budget, and his failure to negotiate a troop presence in Iraq could have dreadful consequences. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, like his predecessor Robert Gates, does his best to proclaim that American resolve is firm and can be counted on. They seem to understand what Obama may not yet accept, that as the world’s leading economic and military power the United States is unlikely to be loved, regardless of whether our president is a baseball team owner from Texas or a community organizer from Chicago. The best we can expect among many of the elites and peoples of the globe is to be respected. And as Machiavelli argued long ago, if you have to choose, it is better to be respected than to be loved.

LETTERS It’s puzzling that Ava Doyle even has a challenger in Ward 1 To the editor, Ward 1 votes historically end narrowly for two candidate races, therefore, our absentee ballots are mailed in and we couldn’t be more delighted than to support our current councilor, Ava Doyle.

Even though Ava was an appointee due to a vacancy, her many years of serving Laconia on various boards and committees made the transition smooth and without drama due to her vast knowledge of how city business operates.

Ava has protected Ward I’s wishes to support the tax cap and has contributed without prejudice endless hours of city, community and individual meetings. In addition to what I’ve mention she has continued to manage her family’s business in adverse economic times for the hospitality industry.

It’s puzzling that Ava even has a challenger. She’s done a great job holding the budget in line to our city needs. What particular issues do they have with her service on the council?

To challenge her seat is either an ego building endeavor or implication of wanting to spend money on some sitting members “pet” projects.

Her challenger must know by now that because the ward lines have been changed he will not be eligible to run again since his residence will not be in Ward I come January 2012; so, starting out, isn’t this actually doing a disservice to our ward? I have my own opinion on why these three conservative wards (one, four and six) are being targeted by liberal candidates; however, knowing Ward I residents, I am confident on which way the vote will go. I can honestly predict that Ava will be returning to the chair that she has faithfully served for this community by all voters that believe that being fiscally responsible and accountable will be again be well represented

by Mrs. Doyle . But that will only be achieved if all Ward 1 residents take 15 minutes out of their day November 8th and cast that vote for Ava and hopefully all the incumbents are returned so as to continue our future economic viability.

Please vote and celebrate democracy on November 8th.

I’m looking for a leader who knows how to create jobs, Romney To the editor, Americans are looking for a leader who knows how to create jobs and control spending. President Obama has failed to pull the country out of the economic downturn as promised.

In checking out the qualifications of the GOP candidates, Mitt Romney clearly is the one best suited to lead our country in the right direction. He is the “change” America needs. Unlike our current president, Romney has spent almost his entire career in the private sector, creating jobs and

solving problems. While Governor of Massachusetts,Mitt Romney was able to balance the state budget WITHOUT raising taxes. Romney was also able to take the Olympics in Salt Lake City out of the red and into the black.

Mitt Romney’s unique experience and proven performance record sets him apart from the other Republican presidential candidates and provides the GOP with its’ best shot of making President Obama a one termer.

LETTERS In 1933, Congress worked on behalf of Americans needing help To the editor, In 1932 an encampment in D.C. was The Bonus Army. 80 years ago, next year, this happened. Now we have the Occupy encampments, on the East coast imperiled by heavy snow.

From Wikipedia: “the Bonus Army was the popular name of an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers—17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups—who gathered in Washington, D.C., in the spring and summer of 1932 to demand immediate cash-payment redemption of their service certificates. Its organizers called it the Bonus Expeditionary Force to echo the name of World War I’s American Expeditionary Force, while the media called it the Bonus March. It was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant.

Many of the war veterans had been out of work since the beginning of the Great Depression. The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 had awarded them bonuses in the form of certificates they could not redeem until 1945. Each service certificate, issued to a qualified veteran soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier’s promised payment plus compound interest. The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the immediate cash payment of their certificates.

Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, one of the most popular military figures of the time,

visited their camp to back the effort and encourage them. On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans’ campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.

A second, smaller Bonus March in 1933 at the start of the Roosevelt Administration was defused with promises instead of military action.

In 1936, Congress overrode President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto to pay the veterans their bonus years early.”

Some different time, 1933, that Congress worked in behalf of American people needing help. Not like now, when Congress lines its pockets with corporate money, and corporations’ bottom lines are about their own increasing enrichment, the ragged fabric of society be damned. Republicans in Congress will not pass the much-needed jobs bill, and a bi-partisan super-committee is readying austerity cuts for the non-rich.

Our right of conscience was written into N.H. Constitution (1784) To the editor, Quite some years past, in the crisp and clear skies of an evening and morning, a resonance of the beauty struck a note within. It has seemed to have sounded much longer, neither harsh nor weak, providing a measure to the thoughts which have followed and will come. We live our lives welcoming a measure of assurance, for most it is provided with religious belief and faith, with social interaction and community; careers and professions which leave little time for else. Most of us have a knowing of something greater than ourselves and an assurance that our lives will be fulfilled in keeping with our faith.

I believe we have come to a very slender neck, much as the hourglass we all know, through which the old hour of history is passing. The twentieth century brought about such change throughout the world as the history preceding it is lost in the meaning of the words in which it is written. There are scholars and Supreme Court justices who argue the meaning of those words and many others via books their view.

Working day to day for so many years we have had little time to truly notice or think seriously about more than what life has lain before us. It isn’t just the common man, it isn’t just today, and even those who believe they have finally reached the day they have sought and have turned the tides of human events to fulfilled their purposes seem not to know. Standing forward they announce their intent openly.

As the sands fall anew what was could be as lost as the empires of the past centuries. A new song is being written for words which have yet to, to be sung perhaps by children yet to be born.

The notes are as true as the stars which shown those years ago. They are written with the radiance of color we might glimpse in fall, color which cost nothing more than our enjoyment of them. It is that which we mustn’t loose, our right of conscience, written as Article 4 of the N.H. Constitution way back in 1784, declared a natural right, unalienable, because no equivalent can be given or received for it.

WARD 4 from page one that the two are of different generations into a suggestion that at 85 she is too old for the job.

Terrill flatly denies questioning Baer’s capacity to serve, but insists that because they occupy different stations in life, they bring different perspectives to the task of governing. A pupil at Pleasant Street School and graduate of Somersworth High School, he earned a master’s degree in community economic development at Southern New Hampshire University. He held management positions in the construction industry, including a spell at Pike Industries, before becoming president of the Lakes Region United Way eight years ago.

“I will aggressively seek out of the box solutions,” Terrill said during a recent interview. “The council is doing a pretty good job, but if I’m part of it, I guarantee we’ll be seeing different points of view.”

Terrill stressed that “physical blight,” marked by dilapidated buildings and vacant storefronts, leads to “social decay” and said that creating wealth by raising property values is “the only thing we’re here to do in the long-term.” Otherwise, he warned, the city would find itself in a “nasty cycle” where declining property values drove higher tax rates, which triggered further falls in value.

Offering the issues at Wyatt Park as an example, Terrill wondered why the council has not ordered the demolition of the derelict clubhouse, which was closed four years ago. “How can they say they don’t have the money?” he asked. “They chose not to spend the money in that way.”

Likewise, Terrill said private landlords must be encouraged to improve and maintain their properties.

“We have to say enough is enough and to start playing hardball,” he declared.”Let’s get real aggressive.”

“I’m pretty fiscally conservative,” Terrill said. “But I disagree with being strategically conservative.” He anticipated that if the committee considering the renovation and reopening of the Colonial Theater — “the Cultural Arts Center of the Lakes Region” — chose to pursue the project, “they will need some public help and I hope the city will be a bold partner, especially if the business plan includes other partnerships.”

Less enthusiastic about the prospect of acquiring all or part of the former Laconia State School property, he said “I’d have to see what the price is,” but allowed if it would expand the tax base “I’m all ears.”

Terrill said that he is “not averse to Pay-As-You-Throw” as a means of increasing recycling and reducing the cost of disposing of solid waste. He said that the program, which enables households to recycle without charge but pay to dispose of their trash, provides an incentive. “That is a good thing,” he said.

While recognizing the councilors have tightened municipal budgets without shedding personnel, Terrill said “I’m not sure they’ve been as supportive as they might be.” He explained that along with retaining employees, the council should make investments to ensure departments are effective as they can be. For instance, he suggested that municipal support for Genesis Behavioral Health would ease the burden on the

police, who deal with a lot of episodes related to mental illness.

On the other hand, Terrill expressed reservations about the practice of attaching cash values to accumulated sick time and vacation days, which is paid to employees, union and nonunion alike, when they leave the city’s employ. “As a rule, I’m against that kind of compensation practice.” Conceding this and similar issues was a matter of negotiation with the unions representing city employees, he said that “I negotiated with the teamsters in Pennsylvania. There are ways to get it done.”

Since joining the council in 2005 Baer has seen herself as a member of a team, which apart from three changes in Wards 1, one in Ward 2 and one in the mayor’s office has fielded the same line-up ever since. However, she has played at least two positions.

Baer first ran for the council in 2003, bidding to oust Jim Cowan, her idiosyncratic neighbor at Briarcrest Estates, who was a thorn in the collective flesh of the School Board. After losing by less than two dozen votes, she at once set her sight on the next election, badgering Cowan with letters to the newspapers in the meantime.

In 2005, with the property tax cap on the ballot and a new middle school in the offing, Baer was part of a slate of candidates — much like the cabal she fingered later — managed by Matt Lahey, all of whom opposed the tax cap and favored the school project. Showered with advertising and surrounded with volunteers, they took four of six seats, including Ward 4, which Baer carried by 14 votes, nearly won a fifth and returned Lahey as mayor.

Baer retired her political debt once construction of the middle school was underway. Re-elected without opposition in 2007, she dropped her misgivings about the tax cap and began taking a red pencil to spending proposals. In 2009, with two former chairs of the school board on the ballot — Mike Seymour for mayor and Marge Kerns in Ward 1 — Lahey swapping the mayor’s office for the Ward 2 council seat and Terrill challenging her in Ward 4, Baer circled the wagons and called for the re-election of the incumbents. “Once they get in,” she warned, “you will never balance the budget and the school’s spending will continue to skyrocket and you will have a new high school whether you can afford it or not.”

Baer considers herself “the conservative” on the council, yet still very much a member of a team. “I don’t think there’s anyone out there who could do a better job,” she said of her colleagues. “We all get along,” she added while hastening to say that she would not repeat the mistake of endorsing all the incumbents.

No councilor devotes more time or energy to the job. “Being a city councilor IS my work,” she said earlier this week, “and I spend most days involved with matters that affect Ward 4 and the rest of the city.”

Regularly in touch with her constituents, Baer said that “every time I vote against something, they’re very happy.”

Baer believes strongly that the economic future of the city and the region depends on a robust tourism sector. Since attending a meeting sevsee next page

Page 6 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 2, 2011

from preceding page eral years ago, she has pressed for a greater effort to engage the business community in an initiative to “rethink and redo” the marketing of the Lakes Region. “We have to do something with the tourist industry,” she said. “I intend to keep pushing.”

More immediately, Baer advocates greater efforts at enhancing and protecting water quality in the lakes, which represent the city’s most valuable natural assets. Property values and tourist visits, she said, are threatened by the persistence of milfoil and pollution, which fouls swimming areas and closes public beaches.

But, Baer is skeptical of investing in either the Colonial Theater or the state school property. “It’s a wonderful asset,” she said of the theater, “but it alone will not revitalize the downtown.

It’s just a piece of the puzzle.” She said that “its needs both public and private funding, but not city money.”

As for the state school property, Baer, who voted against appropriating funds to have the site appraised

FULL SERVICE Cars • Trucks • SUV’s • State Inspections • Emissions Testing • ASE Certified

in anticipation of making an offer to acquire it, said “I’m very skeptical, it is too early to say yes or no.”

While others are eying these investments, Baer pointed out that the city owns property assessed at $89-million that is not being marketed. “If we can’t sell it,” she suggested, “maybe we should give it away and return it to the tax rolls.”

Baer expressed concern about the rising costs of benefits for employees as well as the monetization of sick time and vacation days. In particular, she noted that 29 of the 37 city firefighters live outside the city and have “have no direct interest in city tax problems or budgets.” She said “we’re in negotiations and I think there could be more leeway. Addressing the issues,” she continued, “is something we all want to do, but we’re looking for the tools to do it.”

The three contested elections in Ward 4 since 2003 have all been marked by turnout of less than 25-percent and decided by less than 24 votes.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Ward 4 voters will cast ballots at Memorial Park.

LETTERS Does Lamontagne stand by ‘dysfunctional history’ position?

To the editor, Upon hearing that Ovid Lamontagne is running for governor, I was quite taken aback because I feel that he might not be fit to assume such a high office. Some years ago, when he was the chair of the New Hampshire State Board of Education he stated that “schools should not teach about the dysfunctional aspects of our history”.

I hope that he doesn’t still believe this. If not, I’d like to see him refute this statement. If he stands by his original statement, such errors of omission constitute lies. New Hampshire has no room for a governor who advocates lying to students.

Also, if he upholds this as a standard applied to all countries, then Cambo-

dia would never teach about the killing fields; Japan would never teach about the rape of Nanking; the Turks would never teach about the Armenian massacre; the Germans would never teach about the Holocaust; and Uganda would never teach about Idi Amin’s reign of terror.

I hope that Mr. Lamontagne clarifies his position on this because people do change and he deserves the opportunity to recant his position on the teaching of history. Edmund Burke (1729-1797), British statesman and philosopher who founded modern political conservatism once said, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”

I’m voting for Ava Doyle for councilor in Ward 1 & you should too To the editor, I’m voting for Ava Doyle for Ward 1 City Councilor and you should too.

Ava takes her responsibilities very seriously — organizations with which she has been involved have all recognized this and put her in positions of trust and responsibility. Her calm consideration of the issues and challenges that face our city have earned her the respect of her fellow councilors.

To the editor, The “press” seems to be determined to re-elect the worst president ever by destroying our best candidates for a REAL president! Herman Cain is by far the BEST candidate for president we have ever had, yet the idiot “press” is too ignorant to accept that a brilliant real world worker can beat an idiot “politician”.

Press, wake up to the real world!

Cain may not be a smooth, sly-speaking politician, but unlike them, he speaks the TRUTH! Okay press, what do you find wrong with the truth? Oh, it is so rare you can’t recognize it?

Ron Paul has a problem with the press because all he ever says is absolutely correct and the truth. The “press” can’t accept the truth.

College Board lauds Winter Farmers’ Market setting up at Skate Escape Gilford High for improvement in AP participation & results

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The College Board, which administers college Advanced Placement (AP) tests, yesterday announced that Gilford High is among the 367 public school districts in the country and Canada that simultaneously increased access to AP classes and improved student achievement on the tests given at the conclusion of the classes.

Students who score a three or better on the tests, out of a possible score of five, are eligible for class credit at many colleges and universities. The College Board press statement noted that Gilford, since 2009, increased the number of students participating in an AP class from 42 to 54. Simultaneously, the percentage of Gilford students scoring a three or better increased from 69 to 78, making Gilford one of the districts eligible for the College Board’s “Honor Roll.”

Gilford Superintendent Kent Hemingway interpreted the statistics to mean that the high school’s AP classes are structured and taught well, and that the “broader curriculum” of the school prepares students who want to tackle a challenge.

Last school year, said Hemingway, about one in five upperclassmen took an AP class and exam. Gilford High School offers six AP classes: U.S. History, English Literature, Psychology, Calculus, Biology and Chemistry. Although the classes had enrollments as high as 18 students, some classes were run with as few as eight students.

Hemingway said offering those classes with so few students came at a cost but illustrated a dedication the School Board has to offer such opportunities for its highest-achieving students. “This is a priority that the Gilford School District has maintained for quite a few years,” he said.

LACONIA — Connoisseurs of locally-produced food and craft items have been spoiled in Laconia lately, with not one but two weekly farmers’ markets during the summer months. The Main Street Marketplace was held on Thursdays and the Laconia Farmers’ Market was held on Saturdays. Although both of those markets have packed up until spring, many of the vendors that populated them are eager to continue selling their products through the winter at an indoor venue.

The city’s first experiment with a winter farmers’ market occurred last year, with several vendors setting up shop at the Belknap Mill on the third Thursday of each month. This year, the organizers are doubling down on the experiment, holding markets every other Thursday and at a new location: the Skate Escape roller-skating rink located on Court Street.

Brad Dix, co-owner of Oooey Gooey Confections and an organizer of the Thursday winter market, said the Skate Escape location – the vendors set up in the middle of the rink prior to skating hours – works out well. Parking is easier to come by at the skating rink than it was at the Belknap Mill and at the new location vendors and customers don’t have to climb any stairs.

The next farmers’ market at Skate Escape will be Nov. 3, from 3 to 6 p.m. Dix said there will be a few more vendors this year than at last year’s winter market. The vendors are local to the Lakes Region and for them, Dix said, the markets offer an opportunity to meet face-to-face with their customers.

In what he described as a “craft fair”-like environment, Dix said vendors will be selling baked goods, jams and jellies, pickled foods, coffee, embroidery, jewelry, fudge and truffles, candles, lamb, handmade bags and other craft items. Amy Dix, the other co-owner of Oooey Gooey Confections, said there’s room for more vendors and interested vendors should call her at 630-0086.

“A lot of the vendors there, if they’re working out of their home, out of their farm, don’t have an outlet,” Dix said. “We may not have a storefront but we’re still a local business.” For farmers’ market devotees, he said, “It’s another local-serving-local thing, it’s a a way to get something that’s homemade, hand-made.

It’s not Wal-Mart, nothing is mass-produced.”

The confectionery business that he and his wife run takes up much of their time and won’t ever make them rich, Dix said, but he thinks it’s worth the effort to keep the markets going through the cold months. “As much work as it is, it’s rewarding to sell something that you’ve made.”

Mistakes happen.

Cain leads local Tea Party poll

MOULTONBOROUGH — Herman Cain came out on top in a straw poll conducted at the October 26 meeting of the Lakes Region Tea Party. The Georgia businessman led the other Republican presidential contenders by gathering 26-per cent of the vote.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich ended up in second place with 22-percent and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was next with 18-percent.

At the meeting, the pros and cons about each of the candidates were reported on enthusiastically by a number of people. Several people present had had personal contact with either the candidates or their support teams, and items discussed included their personalities, experience in public service, interest in housing and also manufacturing, how Conservative they were, pro-life or not, arrogance displayed by the support teams, and other fascinating tidbits of information gleaned from their contacts.

Tim Carter served as moderator for the discussion, which was reported as both police and constructive. The evening ended with the straw poll.

Only one candidate other than the top three gathered at least 10-percent of the votes cast. Congressman Ron Paul received 11-percent.

Congresswoman Michelle Backmann was fifth with 7.5-percent, the same number that reported they were still undecided.

Texas Governor Rick Perry did not receive a single vote. from preceding page best presidential candidate is Herman Paul, ie Herman Cain as president and Ron Paul as VP, an unbeatable combo! Let us go forward with that winning combo!

DIRTY AIR DUCTS ARE A HEALTH HAZZARD

Car drives off Center Harbor parking lot retaining wall; 2 hurt CENTER HARBOR — A man and a woman were both taken to Lakes Region General Hospital Monday after the car they were in drove off a retaining wall and landed on its roof.

Police said Lynette Nason, 39, of Freedom thought the parking lot at E.M Heath’s True Value Hardware

store was longer than it really was and accidentally drove off the end of it.

Both Nason and her passenger were taken by Stewart’s Ambulance to the hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.

DEBIT CARDS from page 2 was a spike in account closures following the September announcement that it would start charging the fee early next year.

Higher fees have become a fact of life for bank customers in recent years. But this one touched a nerve because it hit so close to home; many Americans have come to rely on debit cards to manage essential expenses such as groceries and gas.

At the same time, there’s still lingering resentment over the role that banks played in the 2008 financial meltdown and the ongoing home foreclosure crisis. That anger has come to surface in recent weeks with the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The banks have countered by saying that efforts in the past two years to regulate the industry have forced them to raise or introduce new fees to stay profitable. That made the march to higher fees seem almost inevitable — and makes the rare victory by consumers in this case even more remarkable.

“When I heard about the fee, it was the last straw for me,” said Molly Katchpole, a 22-year-old nanny whose online petition urging Bank of America to drop the debit fee captured more than 300,000 signatures. “I’m living paycheck to paycheck and one more fee was just too much.”

Katchpole said she already closed her account and moved her money to a community bank in Washington, D.C. For her, the damage has been done. She said Bank of America’s decision won’t win her back.

It’s still too early to say whether the bank’s gross miscalculation of consumer sentiment will have a lasting impact. But Bank of America is also dealing with a host of other troubles, including the potential for large mortgage-related settlements to drain its capital and plans to cut 30,000 jobs to reduce expenses. Last quarter, the company lost its standing as the nation’s largest bank by deposits to Chase.

The news of the debit card fee meanwhile drew criticism from even President Barack Obama and sparked a movement called “Bank Transfer Day” that urged customers to close their accounts by this Saturday.

“This is Bank of America’s Netflix moment,” said Mark Schwanhausser, a banking analyst with Javelin Strategy & Research. “It misjudged what consumers would bear. It was the wrong fee at the wrong time.” The bank’s actions echo the reversal of Netflix to split its DVD-by-mail and streaming video services after vehement consumer complaints.

The uproar over a potential debit card fee was particularly strong because it’s fundamentally a fee for customers to access their own cash at a time when consumers are trying to cut back on borrowing, he said.

Diane Abela, a 38-year-old Manhattan resident, said she had been waiting to see if Bank of America would back down on its plan before closing her account. “I’m unemployed and $5 makes a big difference,” said Abela, who learned of the bank’s reversal just before heading into a job interview. “When you’re working on a budget every week, it’s the last thing you need.”

TRIAL from page one of resisting arrest.

Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen is prosecuting Kelly.

Kelly’s trial began Monday when opening statements by Sisti who indicated the science would show a third resident of the house, Gilford resident Diamond Morrill, 20, was the person who not only had a 9 m.m. handgun but was the one who allegedly fired it three times, with one shot narrowly missing a Laconia and a Belmont police officer.

Testifying yesterday were Belknap County Special Operations Group negotiator Richard “Rags” Grenier; Belknap County crisis negotiator Michael McCarn; Laconia Police Sgt. Richard Simmons — a member of BRSOG — Belmont Patrol Officer Joel Pickowicz who was on patrol that evening and Sheriff’s Deputy James McIntire — also a member of BRSOG. Grenier testified that he was called out to drive

the Bearcat — an armored vehicle owned by the county — to Union Road. He said his role was to continually announce over the public announcement system that they were the police, that they had an arrest warrant for Kelly, that they had a search warrant for the house and who he was personally.

He said he was the only person trying to talk to Kelly, unsuccessfully, for four hours, until McCarn made contact with Kelly.

Grenier, under cross examination, also said he didn’t know that Kelly made contact with McCarn until 5:29 a.m. when Grenier said he learned that Kelly wanted a cigarette and in exchange would come out with the little girl. He also said he didn’t know Kelly had called 9-1-1 from inside the house.

“Not that I know of,” was Grenier’s reply each times to Sisti’s three questions of did he threaten to hurt the child, law enforcement or any one else in the house. see next page

from preceding page Grenier also said the “Pro-Phone” or hard-wired phone that would permit taping of the call was broken.

Under direct examination, McCarn, who was called as second negotiator after three shots were allegedly fired from the house, said he was the only person who apparently spoke with Kelly from the police department, aside from a 9-1-1 dispatcher and a county dispatcher, until his surrender.

He testified that Kelly’s mood went from calm to angry and aggravated, “up and down.”

“We started talking about a peaceful resolution,” said McCarn who said Kelly told him his cell phone was “dying” so the two called each other about 10 or 11 times during the 90 minute negotiation.

McCarn said Kelly only talked about the little girl just before he came out and said nothing about anyone else being in the house.

“Mr. Kelly said the child was sleeping,” McCarn said, although earlier Grenier testified that Kelly was holding the child and, while she didn’t appear to be sleeping, she was not in distress.

McCarn said he kept trying to get Kelly to “leave the child in the house” and come out alone, but he refused, saying he would come out with the child, that he wanted a cigarette and that he didn’t want to get shot.

He said he didn’t know if Kelly was afraid to be shot from the inside or outside. McCarn also said Kelly looked “tired, worn out, and covered in sweat” when he surrendered.

Under cross examination, Sisti asked McCarn if he knew about Diamond Morrill’s presence in the house while he was on the phone with Kelly.

McCarn said he didn’t.

He also said he was briefed by Sheriff Craig Wiggin that three shots had been fired and that he assumed Kelly had fired them.

“It was a major surprise,” McCarn said when asked what his reaction was to learning someone else was in the house.

“When you told Chris Kelly to leave

the child in the house, you didn’t know about Diamond Morrill?” Sisti asked.

McCarn said after Kelly came out of the house he gave him a cigarette that he had gotten from a state trooper, put it in his mouth as he was already in handcuffs, and lit it for him.

“But he never said he owned, possessed or controlled a gun,” asked Sisti.

“No” said McCarn.

“But he knew a gun was shot,” asked Guldbrandsen.

“Yes,” said McCarn.

“Do you know how he knew?” asked Sisti on cross.

“No,” he said.

Simmons said he was one of the original people sent to cover the perimeter and he was stationed on the side of the house closest to Laconia, in the tree line about 50 or 75 feet away with another BRSOG officer.

He said there were two windows on his side of the house — a big one that was blcoked by a something and smaller one closer to the front of the house that had a curtain.

He said he didn’t see the rest of the BRSOG but staying in radio communication with them. He said he could clearly hear Grenier on the bull horn asking Kelly to come out.

He also testified he heard “two loud bangs” and he initially thought it was BRSOG members.

After a short delay, Simmons said “I heard a bullet whiz by my head and pass through the trees.”

“What did you conclude” asked Guldbrandsen.

“That I’d just been shot at,” said Simmons who said he checked on his partner and then radioed that a shot had been fired from inside the house and that inside the house was the only place it could have come from.

Under cross-examination, he said he didn’t see Kelly in the house.

Pickowicz said he was on patrol when he was initially ordered to use his cruiser to block Union Road on the Laconia side. He used a diagram to point out that he was originally on the same side of the house as Simmons see TRIAL page 14

Crews make progress in restoring power in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — Crews are making progress restoring electricity to homes and businesses left in the dark from the October snowstorm, although storm shelters are still popular places to stay.

About 135,000 homes and businesses were without power Tuesday afternoon. That’s down from a peak outage of 315,000 during the height of the weekend storm. Utilities continue to say it will likely be several more days before restoration is complete.

Gov. John Lynch said about 260 people stayed in shelters across the state Monday night, 20 more people than Sunday night. Officials said seven shelters were open on Tuesday, with two on standby.

Lynch said all state roads are open, but some local roads are closed. The state has dispatched saw crews and wood chippers to some communities to help with debris removal.

TRIAL from page 11 just further down the road.

He said he was ordered to come down to the house and take Alisha Morgan, Kelly’s then girlfriend and now wife, into custody.

Yesterday the jury learned that Morgan left the house almost immediately after the Bearcat showed up and was immediately detained.

Pickowicz said he and Morgan returned to their spot on Union Road when he heard the same bullet that narrowly missed Simmons “whizzing and hitting trees.”

He said he pushed Morgan down and took cover behind the cruiser.

Sisti didn’t cross examine him because Judge O’Neill ruled earlier yesterday that anything Morgan said to police was inadmissible under hearsay rules, despite his opening statements.

Deputy Sheriff James McIntire was a little harder for Sisti to deal with, initially holding firm in his depiction of Kelly using the little girl as what he described as a shield.

He testified under direct examination that his job that night was to somehow get into the front door but said the door was barricaded with what appeared to be a dog crate.

He said he was aware that Dept. Dave Perkins was going around the house prying open windows and looking in with a camera. He also said he saw Morgan come out of the house when the Bearcat initially arrived.

When asked what the next “significant thing” was he said learning around 5:30 a.m. that Kelly was on the phone. When asked about gunshots he said he didn’t exactly know but heard “two thumps, glass

breaking.”

He said with the window now open he could identify the third bang “definitely as gunshot.”

From his vantage point, he also said he was able to see Kelly come into the kitchen area holding the little girl, that he saw Kelly sit the girl on the kitchen counter and open a beer.

He said Kelly was “yelling for a cigarette, and that he would release and “Mike” (McCarn) had told him he could have a cigarette.

“He was very agitated, more angry than anything,” McIntire said.

During Sisti’s cross examination, McIntire was initially unresponsive, meaning he wasn’t answering the questions Sisti was asking him.

On a redirect examination, Guldbrandsen asked him if he was “concerned for the safety of the child” and over Sisti’s objection, O’Neill allowed him to answer “Yes, in light of the gunshots.”

Under a second cross examination, McIntire answered the questions he was asked and said he didn’t see Kelly threaten the girl or any police officers.

Other testimony yesterday was from Steven Ostrowski, a criminalist at the N.H. Crime Lab who testified the gun entered as evidence bore his stamp and the three casing were fired from it. He also said he was unable to raise the filed-off serial number.

Under cross examination, he said he was not asked to perform any gunshot residue tests on either Kelly or Morrill by the county. He said any fingerprint evidence, which would have come before his examination, would have been done by someone else.

Scheduled today at 10 a.m. is retired Deputy Sheriff Lt. Christopher Cost, who processed the crime scene the day after the standoff.

GREECE from page 2 “The dilemma is not ‘this government or another one’, the dilemma is ‘yes or no to the agreement’, ‘yes or no to Europe’, ‘yes or no to the euro,” he said.

The prime minister acknowledged there would be adverse market reaction, but said turmoil would be temporary.

The only other option, he said, would have been to hold early elections, which would have been “an avoidance of our responsibilities” which could have “dragged us into a state of being in danger of bankruptcy.”

Papandreou has also called a vote of confidence in his government, to be held midnight Friday.

“The government is not falling,” insisted Angelos Tolkas, a deputy government spokesman.

Under a recently amended law, a referendum can be called by presidential decree on issues of grave national concern, if it is proposed by the cabinet and approved by absolute majority in the 300-member parliament.

With several of his lawmakers rebelling, it was unclear whether Papandreou would have enough support to push the idea through. Although he had not set a specific question or date for the referendum, ministers indicated it would likely be held in January.

Papandreou’s decision could upend a deal that was the product of months of work by European leaders who were trying, sometimes opposed by their own people, to agree the details of a second bailout for Greece and shore up their own economies in the name of saving the euro, the common currency.

The deal would require banks that hold Greek government bonds to accept 50 percent losses and provide Greece with about $140 billion in rescue loans from European nations and the International Monetary Fund.

But Greeks have been outraged by repeated rounds of tax increases and salary and pension cuts imposed as the government struggles to meet the conditions of a first, $153 billion bailout the country has been relying on since May 2010. With Greece facing a fourth year of recession next year, unions have held frequent strikes, and protests have often degenerated into riots.

A Greek rejection of the second rescue package could cause bank failures in Europe and perhaps a new recession in Europe, the market for 20 percent of American exports. It could also cause Greece to leave the alliance of 17 nations that use the euro.

STOCKS from page 2 I“The stock market is expressing disgust with Greek politics and a lack of confidence that Italy and Spain will generate the growth needed to pay down their debt,” said Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. The Dow fell 297.05 points, or 2.5 percent, to close at 11,657.96. It was the biggest drop since Sept. 22.

The Dow has lost 573 points, or 4.7 percent, in the last two days.

The S&P 500 lost 35.02, or 2.8 percent, to 1,218.28.

Some analysts took comfort that the S&P closed

above 1,215. A drop below that level would erase nearly all of the market’s gains in October. The Nasdaq composite dropped 77.45, or 2.9 percent, to 2,606.96.

Pfizer Inc. was the only company in the Dow stock to rise. It gained 0.4 percent after its income and revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates. General Motors Co. sank 9.8 percent after its October sales came in lower than Wall Street analysts were expecting.

Financial companies in the S&P 500 dropped 4.7 percent, the biggest loss among the 10 company groups that make up the index.

CAIN from page 2 me because I am not the establishment candidate.”

Cain, who is black, said he believes race is also involved “but we don’t have any evidence to support it.” He added, “Relative to the left, I believe that race is a bigger driving factor. I don’t think it’s a driving factor on the right.”

A lawyer for one woman who complained about Cain’s behavior told The Washington Post on Tuesday she wants to talk publicly about it. According to that report, Joel P. Bennett, a Washington lawyer who specializes in employment cases, said he asked the National Restaurant Association to waive his client’s confidentiality so she can respond to Cain’s claims that the complaints were “totally baseless and totally false.”

Bennett did not immediately return messages seeking comment from The Associated Press.

In Sunday night’s original report by Politico, at least two women who had complained about Cain were said to have agreed to settlements that included stipulations that they not repeat their allegations in public.

Cain’s evolving answers to questions in a host of media interviews this week led one rival campaign to suggest he’s not being upfront about the accusations.

“If you are the front-runner and you plan to be the nominee ... be forthcoming so that you are vetted, and we don’t get into a situation where you’re our nominee and we find out things after the fact,” John Brabender, a strategist for Rick Santorum’s campaign, said at forum hosted by National Journal. “We’re still waiting for clarification from the Cain campaign.”

But Cain said that rather than the allegations hurting, his fundraising was actually surging — “the highest it has been since I’ve been in this campaign,” he told Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly.

The campaign took in as much as $400,000 in a single day, said Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff.

Will the controversy undermine Cain in Iowa and beyond? Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad was willing to hear the candidate out.

“Iowans are pretty fair-minded people and just because somebody makes an accusation — anybody

He has said the woman initially asked for a large financial settlement but ultimately received two to three months’ pay as part of a separation agreement.

Cain also acknowledged remembering one of the woman’s accusations against him, saying he stepped close to her to make a reference to her height, and told her she was the same height as his wife.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You still may be reacting to the painful aspects of your past. Your relationship with someone special will help you work through these issues in a lighthearted and positive way today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There are buried memories and past heartbreaks you’d rather not recall. And yet, if you have the courage to dredge up such a recollection, you’ll have a different take on it, which is a sign that you really have healed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

The scene that unfolds is almost too funny to believe. It feels like you’re the only one who gets the joke, though.

You wish someone would wink at you so you would know that you’re not alone in seeing the humor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Though you like to know you’ve made a good impression, it’s far more important that you be true to yourself. Otherwise, you’ll be acting out a part to gain favor, which after a while will be exhausting.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A joint venture will work out well for you, but only because you take initiative and your partner follows suit. Ultimately, it’s your willingness to take action that will save the day.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 2).

You’re willing to move with the times, and so the future favors you. Your powers of concentration will be augmented. Furthermore, your attention is like magic in January. A new relationship blossoms in your nurturing sunshine. Financial improvement happens in February. June brings a move. Invest in September. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 35, 41 and 17.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). External things have never defined you.

Some say what’s inside defines you, but that doesn’t quite fit now, either.

You’re much bigger than your thoughts and feelings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Organizing yourself well is a talent. You’re pretty amazing at this now. You’ll leave the house knowing that you are prepared for every important occurrence and some of the unimportant ones, as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will do something nice just because it feels good to do it. You probably won’t give a thought as to what this will do for your karma, so the major karmic boost that results will be an unexpected bonus.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you face a challenge, you’re not just facing it for you. You’re facing it for everyone who has ever and will ever be challenged in a similar way. Hopefully, this knowledge will give you the courage to continue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s wide open for you right now. It’s as though destiny hasn’t put anything on the agenda for you, so do your thing. The only thing that is inevitable is what you decide upon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s someone you feel you can rely on in times of trouble, but it’s important to you that you reach out to this person in the good times, as well. The relationship is built one phone call at a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly be more in love with someone than you already are, a new surge of feeling swells up in you. Your capacity to love is endless.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 2, 2011— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC –––––––

Today is Wednesday, Nov. 2, the 306th day of 2011. There are 59 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 2, 1861, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln relieved Maj. Gen. John C. Fremont of his command of the Army’s Department of the West based in St. Louis, following Fremont’s unauthorized efforts to emancipate slaves in Missouri.

On this date: In 1783, Gen. George Washington issued his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States near Princeton, N.J. In 1889, North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states.

In 1936, the British Broadcasting Corp. inaugurated “high-definition” television service from Alexandra Palace in London.

In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (derisively dubbed the “Spruce Goose” by detractors), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California.

In 1948, President Harry S. Truman surprised the experts by winning a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey.

In 1961, author, humorist and cartoonist James Thurber died in New York at age 66.

In 1979, black militant JoAnne Chesimard escaped from a New Jersey prison, where she’d been serving a life sentence for the 1973 slaying of a New Jersey state trooper, Werner Foerster. (Chesimard, who took the name Assata Shakur, is believed to be living in Cuba.)

In 1986, kidnappers in Lebanon released American hospital administrator David Jacobsen after holding him for 17 months.

One year ago: Republicans won control of the House of Representatives, picking up 63 seats in midterm elections, while Democrats retained a majority in the Senate; Republican governors outnumbered Democrats after gaining six states.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Ann Rutherford (“Gone With the Wind”) is 94. Singer Jay Black (Jay and the Americans) is 73. Actress Stefanie Powers is 69. Rock musician Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) is 67.

Country-rock singer-songwriter J.D. Souther is 66. Actress Kate Linder is 64. Rock musician Carter Beauford (The Dave Matthews Band) is 54. Singer-songwriter k.d. lang is 50. Rock musician Bobby Dall (Poison) is 48. Actress Lauren Velez is 47. Actor David Schwimmer is 45. Christian/jazz singer Alvin Chea (Take 6) is 44. Rock musician Fieldy is 42. Rock singer-musician John Hampson (Nine Days) is 40. Rhythm-and-blues singer Timothy Christian Riley (Tony Toni Tone) is 37. Actor Danny Cooksey is 36. Rock musician Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie) is 36.

Country singer Erika Jo (“Nashville Star”) is 25. Actor-singer Kendall Schmidt is 21.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 2, 2011

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My brother, “Lenny,” lives in upstate New York, and I live in Texas, but we’ve always been close and call each other often. Lenny has been raising two grandsons, ages 9 and 10, since the parents died in an accident four years ago.

They are both good boys.

The problem is Lenny’s favoritism. One boy has everything: a smart phone, a TV, a sunny corner bedroom, cool clothes and great Christmas and birthday gifts. You can hear the love in Lenny’s voice when he talks about that child. Not so with the other boy. That child lives in a large, unpainted and windowless storage room next to their laundry. While his brother received an iPod for his birthday, this child got a plastic AM/ FM radio.

These boys love each other, but I can see where such disparity has to be affecting them. I have tried to discuss this with Lenny, but neither he nor his wife sees any problem at all because they say they give each child what that boy asks for, nothing more, nothing less. What can I do? I feel my hands are tied while my heart is ripping apart. -- Twin in Texas Dear Twin: Someone should pay that family a visit and see what is really going on. It’s sometimes hard to judge from a phone call. You could be projecting your own fears onto a situation where the children are perfectly happy. Please plan a visit to see your brother so you can better assess the situation. If there is indeed such extreme favoritism going on, it will be easier to discuss it with Lenny and his wife when you can lovingly point out what they seem oblivious to. And it also provides an opportunity to give the less-favored brother some extra TLC while you’re at it.

Dear Annie: I have known “Paula” since high school. She has been married for five years and has a year-old son. She doesn’t get along with her husband and calls me often, sometimes crying, to tell me all the terrible things he does and

says.

Not every phone call is like this. Sometimes the subject never comes up. But the rest of the time, it is exhausting listening to her, and she never listens to me. I’ve tried to be helpful, lending an ear, and frankly, I’m tired of it. Should I screen her calls? Should I tell her during a “normal” conversation that I don’t want to talk about her marriage anymore? My husband says to stop answering the phone.

Paula sees a therapist and attends Al-Anon meetings. Any suggestions? -- Frustrated Friend Dear Frustrated: Between her husband and her child, Paula is obviously having a difficult time coping. She needs to talk about it -- a lot. If you can allow her to vent, that would be supportive of you. You do not need to offer advice. But if that is too exhausting, it’s OK to tell her gently that you do not have the energy to be her sounding board and you hope she is discussing these things with her therapist.

Dear Annie: Like “Frustrated Wife,” I am married to a man who won’t lift a finger around the house. But I can’t let dirty dishes, clothes, tools and garbage pile up in the house in which my children are growing up. I also can’t let the lawn turn into a jungle, the bills go unpaid and the car run out of gas.

I do what I must to take care of the children and myself, but I see no reason to make my husband’s life any easier when he does nothing for mine. He refuses counseling. Maybe after a decade of his wife juggling full-time employment with exhaustion at home, “Frustrated’s” husband will write you wondering why they don’t have sex anymore. -- Household Slave Dear Slave: Your marriage sounds miserable. If you can afford it, hire some household help. And please consider counseling for yourself.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please e-mail your questions to: anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Blvd., Ste. 700, Los Angeles, CA 90045.
