Voter ID law causes no problems for election officials in Laconia

By Michael KitchTHE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Echo-ing New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner, City Clerk Mary Reynolds said yesterday that the general election proceeded smoothly and in particular the law requiring voters to show photographic identification posed no problems for election officials.

Reynolds said that personnel posted at the six polling stations asked voters for their photo IDs when they arrived and directed those without it to a table where they were asked to complete a “challenged voter affidavit” before cast-ing their vote. She said that some voters refused to present a photo ID as a gesture of opposition to the law, but readily com-pleted the affidavit. On instructions from the Secretary of State she declined to dis-close how many affida-vits were submitted.

Attorney David Bownes, who served as a legal observer in Laconia during the election, said he was

88% turnout in Laconia – here’s how the city votedLACONIA — Voters in Laconia turned

the clock back to 2008 on Tuesday, when Democratic candidates made their stron-gest showing in decades.

President Obama again carried the city, polling majorities in four of the six wards,

but by a slimmer margin than in 2008 when he took 53-percent of the vote to top John McCain by 468 votes. This year, the city gave Obama a majority of just 79 votes — 3,938 to 3,859 — over Mitt Romney. Romney, like McCain before him, ran strongest in Wards 1 and 6 while losing the other four.

Revitalization project uncovers century old penstock sectionsBy Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT – Part of a 100-year-old pen-stock has been unearthed as part of the Belmont Revitalization Project.

A penstock is a length of pipe that chan-nels water from one place to another, usu-

ally to be used for electricity generation.In this case, Belmont historian Wallace

Rhodes said the original Penstock Park site was purchased in 1794 by Joseph Fellows who built a dam and a sawmill. His heirs held on to the property until 1817 when it was deeded to the Belmont Mill.

Rhodes said the Gilmanton Village Man-ufacturing Company built a larger dam in the 1830s that allowed the water to be diverted into a canal that crossed the street and eventually ran down Main Street to the new mill.

Tenant’s sensitive nose raised alarm over leaking furnace fumes

By Gail OBerTHE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The tenants of the Pleasant Street three-story apartment building where there was a carbon monoxide scare Wednesday night took the woman who called the fire department out for a thank-you dinner Thursday night.

Sherry Roderick said she hadn’t been smelling some-thing funny all day as was previous reported but that she and her service dog were in their apartment in the early evening when she started feeling very drowsy.

She said she opened her window from some fresh air. She also noticed her service dog wasn’t acting as ener-getic as she usually does.

Roderick said walked down the stairs to go out-side for some fresh air when she noticed a much stronger

WASHINGTON (AP) — David Petraeus, the retired four-star general renowned for taking charge of the military campaigns in Iraq and then Afghanistan, abruptly resigned Friday as director of the CIA, admitting to an extramarital affair.

The affair was discovered during an FBI investigation, according to officials briefed on the developments. They spoke on condi-tion of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter. It was unclear what the FBI was inves-tigating or when it became aware of the affair.

Petraeus’ resignation shocked Wash-ington’s intelligence and political commu-nities. It was a sudden end to the public career of the best-known general of the post 9/11 wars, a man sometimes men-tioned as a potential Republican presiden-tial candidate. His service was effusively

praised Friday in statements from law-makers of both parties.

Petraeus, who turned 60 on Wednesday, told CIA employees in a statement that he had met with President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday and asked to be allowed to resign. On Friday, the president accepted.

Petraeus told his staffers he was guilty of “extremely poor judgment” in the affair. “Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organiza-tion such as ours.”

He has been married for 38 years to Holly Petraeus, whom he met when he was a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. She was the daughter of the academy superintendent. They have two children, and their son led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan.

Obama said in a statement that the retired

general had provided “extraordinary service to the United States for decades” and had given a lifetime of service that “made our country safer and stronger.” Obama called him “one of the outstanding general officers of his generation.”

The president said that CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell would serve as acting director. Morell was the key CIA aide in the White House to President George W. Bush during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“I am completely confident that the CIA will continue to thrive and carry out its essential mission,” Obama said.

The Senate and House intelligence com-mittees were briefed on Petraeus’ resig-nation only after the news was reported in the media, said a congressional staffer, speaking anonymously because the staffer

States await federal response to marijuana-legalizing initiativesDENVER (AP) — Should marijuana be

treated like alcohol? Or should it remain in the same legal category as heroin and the most dangerous drugs? Votes this week by Colorado and Washington to allow adult marijuana possession have prompted what could be a turning point in the nation’s conflicted and confusing war on drugs.

Colorado’s governor and attorney gen-eral spoke by phone Friday with U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, with no signal whether the U.S. Justice Depart-

ment would sue to block the marijuana measures. Both states are holding off on plans to regulate and tax the drug while waiting to see whether the Justice Depart-ment would assert federal authority over drug law.

Meanwhile, prosecutors in Washington’s largest counties dropped all pending mis-demeanor cases of marijuana possession Friday in response to that state’s vote to legalize the drug.

The Obama administration has largely

turned a blind eye to the 17 states that currently flout federal drug law by allow-ing people with certain medical conditions to use pot, something that is banned under federal law.

A spokesman for Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said during Friday’s talks, state officials asked Holder for the federal government’s response to the marijuana vote but didn’t get one.

The Colorado officials “emphasized the see MARIJUANA page 11

NEW YORK (AP) — A gasoline shortage caused by Superstorm Sandy forced 1970s-era rationing on New York-ers Friday, adding a fuel-gauge obsession to their frayed nerves and dwindling patience.

“I take passenger, I look at gas. I take another passenger, I look at gas,” said New York City taxi driver Shi Shir K. Roy. “Ten-sion all the time.”

Though rationing that allowed private motorists to fill up only every other day seemed to help with gas lines, it didn’t answer motorists’ questions about why they had been waiting for days in hourslong lines to fuel up. The confusion led some, like Angel Ventura, to panic.

Ventura, who drives a delivery van for a camera rental company, has taken to hunting for gasoline every time his gauge drops below a quarter of a tank. “It makes me crazy, think-ing I might hit empty and not be able to find it,” he said.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrats in the New Hampshire Senate unanimously chose Concord Sen. Sylvia Larsen on Friday to continue as their leader.

Larsen, who is entering her 10th term, has been the chamber’s Democratic leader for the last two years. She served as Senate president for four years before Republicans regained control of the chamber in 2010.

Republicans lost six seats in Tuesday’s election, but maintain a 13-11 margin, which means Senate President Peter Bragdon, the pick of the GOP caucus, is likely to continue as president.

Bragdon, 49, of Milford, is entering his fifth term in the Senate.

The House and Senate vote on leaders Dec. 5, after the newly elected lawmakers are sworn in.

Larsen picked to continue leading NH Senate DemsHouse Republicans caucus to nominate a House

speaker candidate Thursday. House Democrats make their selection Nov. 17. House Democrats regained control of the chamber in Tuesday’s elec-tion with a 222-178 edge, though the final margin could change after contested results are recounted. House Democrats currently have 102 members.

Larsen, 63, said she was honored to have the opportunity to lead Senate Democrats.

“There is a renewed sense of optimism in New Hampshire and the message from voters is clear. People want a return to a common-sense, civil approach to problem-solving,” she said in a state-ment.

Larsen said among her top priorities is taking see NH SENATE page 12

BEIRUT (AP) — As many as 11,000 people fled Syria in 24 hours, some of them desperately clam-bering through a razor-wire fence into Turkey on Friday to escape fierce fighting between rebels and government forces for control of a border town.

The exodus is a sign of the escalating ferocity of the violence, which has killed more than 36,000 people since March 2011. Despite the bloodshed, embattled President Bashar Assad insisted there was no civil war in Syria, saying in a rare TV appearance that he was protecting Syrians against “terrorism” sup-ported from abroad.

The flood of Syrians into neighboring Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon was “the highest that we have had in quite some time,” said Panos Moumtzis, the U.N. refugee agency’s regional coordinator for the region.

About 2,000 to 3,000 people are fleeing Syria daily, and the recent surge brings the number registered with the agency to more than 408,000, he said.

During the 24-hour period that began Thursday, 9,000 Syrians crossed into Turkey — including 70 who were wounded and two who then died, U.N. officials said. Jordan and Lebanon each absorbed another 1,000 refugees.

The largest flow into Turkey came from the fight-ing at Ras al-Ayn in the predominantly Kurdish oil-producing northeastern province of al-Hasaka. The town hugs the border, practically adjacent to the Turkish town of Ceylanpinar.

On Thursday, rebels captured a border crossing between the two towns, Ceylanpinar’s mayor, Ismail Aslan, told The Associated Press by telephone.

Rebels on Friday overran three security com-pounds in the town belonging to the military intelli-gence, air force intelligence and general intelligence directorate agencies, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposi-tion activist group.

More than 20 soldiers were killed in the fighting, the Observatory said.

Regime forces shelled rebel positions Friday morn-ing, Aslan said. Regime tanks were also moving in to join the fight, according to another opposition activ-ist group, the Local Coordination Committees.

Syria’s more than 2 million Kurds, long mar-ginalized, have largely stayed out of the fighting,

PARIS (AP) — French President Francois Hol-lande’s attempt to sign a note congratulating Barack Obama for getting re-elected wound up lost in trans-lation — and all over Twitter.

In the great Gallic tradition of murdering the English language, Hollande ended the letter to the U.S. president in his own hand, writing: “Friendly, Francois Hollande.”

The mistake was a literal translation of the French “amicalement,” instead of what probably should have been “kind regards.”

It went viral on Twitter, overshadowing the rest of the note, which fleetingly touched on topics such as the Middle East and the economy.

According to local media, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was also weak in English. To excuse bad weather in January 2010, Sarkozy told U.S. Sec-retary of State Hillary Clinton, “Sorry for the time.”

LETTERSVoters over 50 chose Romney by a wide margin – wonder why?

Americans wanted to keep the country they know, and said so Tuesday. Now it’s time for responsi-ble Republicans to take their party back from the fringe that loses them elections.

It’s not true that Republicans needed better candidates. They had excellent contenders. The problem was that the electable ones couldn’t leap the lunacy barrier erected by the right wing. They couldn’t clinch nominations. Or they withdrew from races in the face of the party base’s social nastiness, scientific ignorance and fiscal irresponsibility.

In Indiana, Republicans had the superb Sen. Richard Lugar — a sure shot for re-election. Lugar was a statesman who refused to trans-form himself into a right-wing gar-goyle during the primary. The party replaced him with a tea-party favor-ite, who like the Republican loser in the Missouri Senate race, made weird comments about rape during the campaign.

In Connecticut, the totally unac-ceptable Linda McMahon lost her second quest for a U.S. Senate seat after spending $91 million of her own money — but not before having managed to defeat two plausible Republican moderates this year and in 2010. In this round’s Republican primary, the wrestling magnate with a yacht named “Sexy Bitch” swept away the much-respected former Rep. Chris Shays on a tide of cash.

Another admired Republican, Jon Huntsman, withdrew from the race for the presidential nomina-tion rather than debase himself with arguments that the Earth was formed 5,000 years ago. The former conservative governor of Utah pro-vided the most noble tweet of the campaign: “I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warm-ing. Call me crazy.”

You knew he couldn’t survive the sort of primary race that included threats against Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. (“We would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,” Texas Gov. Rick Perry actually said.) By catering to this mentality but seem-ing just a bit saner than the others, Mitt Romney won the nomination and lost the election.

The morning after, Steve Schmidt,

Froma Harrop

Republicans need to take their party back

a Republican strategist turned MSNBC commentator, minced no words: “We have given away five U.S. Senate seats over two election cycles by nominating loons. I mean, people who are fundamentally, manifestly unqualified to be in the United States Senate.”

Lest we forget, Republicans put out some very strange senatorial candidates two years ago. In Dela-ware, Christine (“I’m not a witch) O’Donnell lost to the Democrat — after defeating the revered Republi-can Rep. Mike Castle in the primary. In Nevada, Sharron Angle (“Sharia law” has taken over Dearborn, Mich.) lost to a struggling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

So entranced was the right wing by its own propaganda that it per-sisted in framing Republican Sen. Scott Brown’s surprising 2010 win in Massachusetts as local hostility to ObamaCare. Brown got away with promising to help defeat the Afford-able Care Act only because the elec-torate already had a state version of it. His luck ran out on Tuesday.

In olden days, when moderate Republicans freely roamed New England, Brown would have enjoyed stronger odds for re-election. And in nearby Maine, Republican survivor Olympia Snowe would have proba-bly gone back to the Senate had she not retired, exhausted by attacks from the right.

The tea party didn’t build this alone. It had help from the punditry-industrial-complex — the radio mouths and book-peddling profes-sionals who make a fine living tell-ing the troops that they’re always right and they’re always winning.

Republican analyst Schmidt also said on Wednesday that the likes of Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh need to be “shut down.” What he undoubtedly means is that mature Republican leaders should stop trying to ingratiate themselves with the publicity bottom feeders.

Conscientious Republicans do want their party back. May they get it.

A hearty thanks for re-electing me to Belknap County Commission

To the editor,Bill Knightly of Gilford is whis-

tling in the wind past the graveyard if he thinks the intense dislike, dis-trust and unhappiness with Barack Obama is going away soon. There is no mandate for his policies, otherwise the Republican Congress would have been turned out. They were not!

In Tuesday exit polls, ObamaCare remains just as UNPOPULAR today (55 percent ‘no’ to 45 percent ‘yes’) as the day it passed. Employers are already notifying tens of thousands of employees coast to coast they are being made PART-TIME from full-time — 29 hours max per week. Employers are going to save hundreds of billions in costs by dumping employ-ees on to state exchanges where they will be eligible for highly subsidized health insurance on the taxpayer tab as this nation drowns in DEBT. Thou-sands of Medicare members are NOW being notified by their primary doc-tors that if they want prompt access to care and other benefits that have been provided before for free they will be REQUIRED to pay $2,200 dollars per year for so-called concierge care or STAND IN LINE behind the 30 mil-lion ObamaCare freebies. The TWO TIER health care system in America will REMAIN in place, it will just be different and COST MORE. Until recently Uncle Sam would have fined doctors for trying to charge Medicare recipients extra money. NOT NOW. We already have a 40,000 person primary care doctor SHORTAGE because SAM under reimburses them. Sam is NOW afraid he will force thou-sands of them out of business if he cracks down causing a health care panic across the country. So the old will be forced to pay for care OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET or be forced to the EMERGENCY ROOM. ALL THANKS TO BARACK OBAMA. The

over 50 age group in AMERICA voted for ROMNEY by a good margin. I wonder if Knightly has the intellect to figure out why that would be?

The day Bill Knightly can articu-late the economic value unions bring to the bargaining table will be the day the earth stands still. I will bet Bill, any amount of money he wants, that eventually N.H. will be a right-to-work state. The number of states converting to right-to-work never stops increasing and eventually every state in America will be right-to-work. It is inevitable, only a matter of time. All unions do is drive prices up every place they operate, causing an endless stream of companies to go bankrupt behind them including national icons like GM, Chrysler, even Hostess, the people that bring you Twinkies.

If unions were the solution to prob-lems between labor and management they would be flourishing. THEY ARE NOT! Union membership peaked in the 1950’s years at 28 percent. It is now 11 percent and DROPPING every year. Unions obstruct productivity that enables every any employer to com-pete in the global market place. They fight technology that reduces labor content because fewer union people equal less union clout. They obstruct merit pay where the best workers are rewarded accordingly. Unions want to produce the least work at the high-est cost at the lowest quality because doing all that increases the need for UNION LABOR. Remember the inverse of the right-to-work for less is the obligation to PAY MORE. You like what your paying for your kids college tuition? Thank your local collge teach-ers’ union. They love earning MORE while you drown in college DEBT. Come on Bill.... lets debate the value of UNIONS. I am ready, are you?

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the citi-zens of NH. State Senate District 7, who elected me to serve. Public ser-vice is an honor and a privilege and I’m humbled by your support.

Elections focus on differences between candidates, their ideas, solutions and priorities. As we move beyond campaign season, I hope to

To the editor,This year’s First Student charity

yard sale was a huge success. I want to thank you all for your MANY dona-tions and for coming out to the sale. Without your support the sale would not have been so successful.

I would also like to thank the kind people at Tilton Trailer Rental for lend-ing us not one but two trailers to hold all of the donations. More thanks goes out to Taylor Rental of Belmont for lend-ing us a tent to use for the sale. Special thanks to Fred Caruso at Mix 94.1FM for helping us advertise the sale.

And last but certainly not least my most heartfelt thanks to the wonder-ful staff I work along side with at the Tilton First Student location. You guys are amazing. Not only do they

take care of the pricing and moving of the donations, while keeping business as usually going, they do this on their own time. Then after all that work they dedicate a full Saturday to the sale without complaints.

Like I said, they are amazing. And now that the sale is over we will rest for a couple of weeks then move on to finding hard working families that could use some help for the holidays (this is where it really gets fun).

to look out only for themselves, please help us highlight one organi-zation that strives to make a differ-ence.

93 foreclosures in Laconia this yearLACONIA — According to data

compiled by the city’s Assessing Department the local housing market has been marked by rising sales but falling prices as well as a growing number of foreclosures in 2012.

After bottoming out at 242 in 2009 and 2010 home sales have risen for the second consecutive year, from 264 in 2011 to 282 in 2012. At the same time, the average sales price recorded its

steepest drop since 2008/2009, when it fell from $208,193 to $196,894, or by 5.4-percent, falling from $196,318 to $183,101, a drop of 6.7-percent.

Foreclosures, after dipping from 75 in 2010 to 64 in 2011, have shot up to 93 in 2012. By increasing the inven-tory of homes on the market, the rise in foreclosures is contributing to declining sales prices.

much better in the rematch this week. Guinta again carried the city, but by a mere ten votes — 3,640 to 3,630 — which was the difference between his majorities in Wards 1 and 6 and Shea-Porter’s majorities in the other four wards.

In the race for governor, Democrat Maggie Hassan ran stronger in the city than either Obama or Shea-Porter, carrying fi ve wards to top Republican Ovide Lamontagne by 4,043 to 3,483. Her 54-percent share of the city vote exceeded that of fellow Democrat John Lynch, who claimed 52-percent in his victory over Republican John Stephen in 2010, the year of the GOP landslide.

Making his second bid for the New Hampshire Senate, Democrat Andrew Hosmer, who lost all six wards when Republican Jim Forsythe won the seat in 2010, this year carried all six wards and more than doubled his vote to defeat Republican Josh Youssef 4,257 to 3,101. Hosmer’s showing in the city closely mirrored that of Democrat Kathy Sgambati, who beat former City Councilor Greg Knytych by 4,161 to 3,300 in 2008.

The success of Democrats at the top of the ticket refl ected itself in the contests for the city’s fi ve seats in the New Hampshire House of Repre-sentatives, all of which were won by Republicans in 2010. When the House districts were redrawn earlier this year, the city’s fi ve seats were reduced to four, but the city shared a fi fth seat with the town of Belmont.

Three of the fi ve incumbent Repub-licans were reelected as Don Flan-ders won his seventh term, Frank

ELECTION from page one Tilton his fourth and Bob Luther his second. However, Democrat David Huot led the ballot to claim the city’s fourth seat and Democrat Beth Arse-nault defeated Incumbent Republican Harry Accornero in the shared dis-trict. The two seats won by Democrats fell one shy of the three they won in 2006 and 2008.

Matt Huot, chairman of the Belknap County Democratic Commit-tee stressed that Democrats gained fi ve seats throughout the county after Republicans swept all 18 seats in 2010, but conceded that he expected Democrats to win two of the four seats in the city. “The fi ve seats are a huge swing,” he said, “but, I was a little dis-appointed not to get a second seat in Laconia. I was very happy with all our candidates,” he continued. “They ran great campaigns.”

Although disappointed with the results of the election, Tilton said that the reelection of three of the fi ve incumbent Republican representa-tives indicated that veteran lawmak-ers had earned the confi dence of their constituents.

The New Hampshire Secretary of State has yet to publish data on turnout at the polls . However, the night of the vote by City Clerk Mary Reynolds reported that 7,681 of the 8,768 registered voters in the city, or 88-percent, cast ballots. Turnout was lowest in Ward 1, which consistently votes Republican, at 76-percent and highest in Ward 3 at 94-percent. Ward 6, another Republican stronghold, reported 1,849 registered voters, the most of any ward, 1,709 of whom, or 92-percent, voted.

was not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive briefi ngs.

The resignation comes at a sensi-tive time. The administration and the CIA have struggled to defend secu-rity and intelligence lapses before the attack that killed the U.S. ambas-sador to Libya and three others. It was an issue during the presidential campaign that ended with Obama’s re-election Tuesday.

The CIA has come under intense scrutiny for providing the White House and other administration offi cials with talking points that led them to say the Benghazi attack was a result of a fi lm protest, not a militant terror attack. It has become clear that the CIA was aware the attack was distinct from the fi lm protests roiling across other parts of the Muslim world.

is expected to testify at closed con-gressional briefi ngs next week on the Sept. 11 attacks on the consulate in Benghazi.

For the director of the CIA, being engaged in an extramarital affair is considered a serious breach of secu-rity and a counterintelligence threat. If a foreign government had learned of the affair, the reasoning goes, Petraeus or the person with whom he was involved could have been black-mailed or otherwise compromised. Military justice considers conduct such as an extramarital affair to be possible grounds for court-martial.

Failure to resign also could create the perception for the rank and fi le that such behavior is acceptable.

At FBI headquarters, spokesman Paul Bresson declined to comment on the information that the affair had been discovered in the course of an investigation by the bureau.

Holly Petraeus is known for her work helping military families. She joined the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to set up an offi ce dedicated to helping service members with fi nancial issues.

Though Obama made no direct men-tion of Petraeus’ reason for resigning,

he offered his thoughts and prayers to the general and his wife, saying that Holly Petraeus had “done so much to help military families through her own work. I wish them the very best at this diffi cult time.”

Petraeus, who became CIA director in September 2011, was known as a shrewd thinker and hard-charging competitor. His management style was recently lauded in a Newsweek article by Paula Broadwell, co-author of the biography, “All In: The Educa-tion of General David Petraeus.”

The article listed Petraeus’ “rules for living.” No. 5 was: “We all make mistakes. The key is to recognize them, to learn from them, and to take off the rear view mirrors — drive on and avoid making them again.”

Petraeus told his CIA employees that he treasured his work with them “and I will always regret the circum-stances that brought that work with you to an end.”

The director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said Petraeus’ depar-ture represented “the loss of one of our nation’s most respected public servants. From his long, illustrious Army career to his leadership at the helm of CIA, Dave has redefi ned what it means to serve and sacrifi ce for one’s country.”

smell on the fi rst fl oor.“I have lupus,” she said, adding that

the illness has heightened her sense of smell.

She said she learned from some of the other tenants that they had smelled something unusual through-out the day and one of them men-tioned he thought there had been some work done on the furnace.

The cause of the carbon monoxide leak, it was later discovered, was that the old chimney was inadequate to handle the high-heat output of a newly installed furnace, and the output blew out a valve as a result. What tenants likely smelled was other exhaust vapors from the valve as carbon mon-oxide is odorless and colorless.

She and a few others decided to call the fi re department. Lt. Chris Shipp said they would come right over.

Roderick said she also grabbed some pets from people’s apartment that she knew weren’t home and put them inside her van.

Using a multi-gas meter, Shipp deter-mined the carbon monoxide levels were higher than they should be and ordered the building evacuated.

“A lot of us tenants didn’t know each other but we all got acquainted while we were waiting outside,” she said. During their conversations, she real-

ized many of the other tenants had been feeling drowsy that evening.

“We all went out to dinner and cel-ebrated last night,” she said.

She said Shipp called her a hero and Chief Ken Erickson said yesterday that during the day after the incident he learned that many of the tenants had been feeling ill from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

He explained that at 50 parts-per-million, carbon monoxide gradually builds in the system and replaces oxygen in the hemoglobin. Levels in the building were at 60 ppm and the basement was 160 parts per million after being ventilated for 15 minutes. He said at those levels an average person has about an hour before he or she dies.

“The standard feeling is that of drowsiness and fl u-like symptoms,” he said.

He said he was thankful that Rod-erick called when she did because the levels of carbon monoxide in the build-ing would likely have risen through-out the night.

On a more general note, Erickson recommends all homes have carbon monoxide sensors as well as smoke detectors and that since daylight sav-ings time just happened this past weekend, people should change their batteries.

Transgender Pakistanis face society’s scornRAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) —

Dressed up in elaborate, feminine outfi ts and artfully applied makeup, they are showered with money while dancing at all-male wedding parties. But the lives of transgender people in Pakistan are also marked by harass-ment, rejection and poverty.

Transgender people live in a tenu-ous position in conservative Pakistan, where the roles of the sexes are tra-ditionally starkly drawn. Families often push them out of the home when they’re young, forcing many to prosti-

tute themselves to earn a living.One role where they are tolerated

is as dancers at weddings and other celebrations at which men and women are strictly segregated. In between the dancing and showers of rupee notes, they must fend off groping from drunken guests.

“I don’t understand why people feel it is their duty to tease and taunt us,” said one transgender Pakistani who goes by the name Symbal. Many in the transgender community pick a

name for themselves and do not use their last name to protect their family.

Others beg on the streets or earn money by blessing newborn babies. The blessings reflect a widespread belief in Pakistan and other South Asian nations that God answers the prayers of someone who was born underprivileged, said Iqbal Hussain, a Pakistani researcher who has stud-ied the transgender community. But he cautioned that didn’t mean people were ready to give them equal rights.

In recent years the community has gained some government protec-tion. A Supreme Court ruling in 2011 allowed them to get national identity cards recognizing them as a separate identity — neither male or female — and allowing them to vote. In neigh-boring India, the election commission ruled in 2009 that transgender people could register to vote as “other,” rather than male or female.

In other parts of the region and Muslim world, the attitude toward transgenders is also complex. In Thai-

land, the community is very visible and broadly tolerated. Transgender people are regularly seen on TV soap operas, working at department store cosmetics counters or popular res-taurants and walking the runways in numerous transgender beauty pag-eants.

Many transgender Indonesians publicly wear women’s clothes and makeup and work as singers. But soci-etal disdain still runs deep. They have taken a much lower profile in recent years, following a series of attacks by Muslim hard-liners.

In Malaysia, Muslim men who wear women’s clothes can be prosecuted in Islamic courts.

In the Arab world, there is little opportunity for transgender people to openly show their identity in public. In 2007, Kuwait made “imitating members of the opposite sex” a crime, leading to the arrest of hundreds of transgender women, Human Rights Watch said. In Iraq, extremists have targeted and killed people perceived of being gay or effeminate.

Fearing ‘cliff,’ investors finish brutal weekNEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is

peering over the “fiscal cliff” and feel-ing vertigo.

The stock market finished one of the worst weeks of the year Friday, push-ing Washington to work out a deal to avoid the tax increases and govern-ment spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1.

Remarks by re-elected President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner on the looming deadline didn’t do much to cheer the market. Stocks fin-ished barely higher for the day.

Chris Bertelsen, the chief invest-ment officer at Global Financial Pri-vate Capital of Sarasota, Fla., said he expects Congress and Obama to reach a compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff.

“But it could well be the conven-tional U.S. political way of doing it — the last minute type of stuff — in which case the markets will be haunted by it until the point it hap-pens,” he said.

For the week, the Dow Jones indus-trial average fell 277 points, or 2.1 percent. The Dow has fallen 795

points since hitting its closing high for the year, 13,610 on Oct. 5.

The S&P fell 2.3 percent during the week, its worst weekly decline since June 1, when investor concern about the debt crisis in Europe was rising.

Stocks began their slide Wednesday in the biggest sell-off of the year after voters returned Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House to power. Investors immediately turned to worrying about the cliff.

If the tax increases and spending cuts take full effect, the U.S. will likely fall back into recession, the Congres-sional Budget Office said Thursday.

Boehner said Friday that he remains unwilling to raise tax rates on upper-income earners. But he left open the possibility of balancing spending cuts with revenue increases that come from some revisions to the tax code.

Stocks managed a small rally. The Dow was up about 30 points when Boehner started talking and about 80 points shortly after.

Two pieces of the old penstock sit behind the Belmont Library and await removal to storage homes. The penstock was unearthed during recent construction during the Village Revitalization. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

In the 1890s the dam was removed, and a wooden pen-stock was built from the upper dam off Church Street. The wooden penstock was removed around 1910 because failures during seasonal high-flow periods.

A metal penstock was installed in its place until it was discontinued in 1955 when the Belmont Hosiery Company dissolved.

Last week, construction crews working on the bridge unearthed about 100 feet of the metal pipe, two equal sections of the penstock and placed it behind the Belmont Library for temporary storage.

After some inquiring by Heritage Commission member Linda Frawley, Rusty’s Towing agreed to

move one piece to a Blaney’s Auto Crushing and the other piece to Sleeper’s Welding.

Both will store the penstock while Heritage Com-mission members try to find a buyer for the metal, funds from which selectmen will consider donating to the Heritage Commission fund for the bandstand renovation project.

Had the local companies not offered to move and store the material, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin told selectmen, it could have cost the town as much as $1,000 to cut and move the penstock.

An employee from Rusty’s said yesterday that he thought there may be as much as 15,000 pounds of metal in the two pieces of penstock.

Then Obama said he would not accept any approach to federal deficit reduction that doesn’t ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes. A spokesman later said Obama would veto legislation extending tax cuts for families making $250,000 or more.

The Dow began sliding just before Obama spoke, at 1 p.m., and had lost its gain for the day by 1:30.

As they head into talks with Obama next week

on the fiscal cliff, congressional leaders no doubt remember what can happen on Wall Street when investors are worried and watching Washington’s every move.

In September 2008, at the depths of the financial crisis, the House defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue of the nation’s financial system, sending the Dow plunging 777 points.

impressed by how effectively the election was con-ducted. “Both the voting and the registration process are working very smoothly,” he said, adding that the election officials showed every sign of having been very well trained.

In Belmont, B.J. Eckhardt, who met voters at the door, said that by around 11 a.m. on election only “a handful of voters” appeared without photo IDs. “Lots of people are thanking us,” she observed, “and

telling us what a good idea it is.” Moderator Tom Garfield remarked that “only an occasional person who wants to challenge the law has refused to show a photo ID.”

“We’ve had no problems whatsoever,” said Denise Gonyer, the Gilford Town Clerk/Tax Collector. She noted that she closed the office at Town Hall and assigned her entire staff to the polls in anticipation of a heavy turnout of voters, expecting many of them to have questions.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The worst of Europe’s financial crisis appears to be over.

European leaders have taken steps to ease the panic that has plagued the region for three turbu-lent years. Financial markets are no longer in a state of emergency over Europe’s high government debts and weak banks. And this gives politicians from the 17 countries that use the euro breathing room to fix their remaining problems.

Threats remain in Greece and Spain, and Europe’s economy is forecast to get worse before it gets better. But an imminent breakup of the euro now seems unlikely, analysts say.

“We are probably well beyond the worst,” says Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank in London. He says occasional flare-ups in financial markets are likely, but “coming waves of turmoil will be less severe.”

Evidence that Europe has turned a corner can be found in countries’ falling borrowing costs, rising stock markets and a slow but steady stabilization of the region’s banking system:

— The interest rates investors are demanding to lend to struggling countries such as Spain and Italy have plunged — a sign that investors are less fearful about defaults. Spain’s two-year bonds carry an interest rate, or yield, of just under 3 percent — down from a July 24 peak of 6.6 percent. Italy’s bond yields have dropped just as sharply.

— The Stoxx 50 index of leading European shares has surged 26 percent since June 1, while the euro has risen from $1.26 to $1.29 over the same period.

— After months of withdrawals, deposits are trickling back into Greek and Spanish banks, sig-naling that fears of their imminent financial col-lapse are abating. And U.S. money market mutual funds loaned 16 percent more to eurozone banks in September. That was the third straight monthly increase in short-term funding to European banks,

and follows a 70 percent reduction since May 2011.More proof the crisis is easing: Gatherings of

European financial ministers no longer cause global stock and bond markets to gyrate with every sign of progress or a setback.

As financial-market panic recedes, euro leaders have more time to try to fix the flaws in their currency union. Among the challenges are reducing regulations and other costs for businesses in order to stimulate economic growth, and imposing more centralized authority over budgets to prevent countries from ever again spending beyond their means. That’s important because a major cause of the crisis was Greece’s overspending during the calm years after the euro’s introduction in 1999, and Italy’s failure to cut the high levels of debt it joined with. Other governments — such as Spain and Ireland — were saddled with debt piled up by banks and real estate developers during boom years.

Much of the credit for easing Europe’s financial crisis goes to the European Central Bank, which has become more aggressive over the past year under the leadership of Mario Draghi.

The ECB said Sept. 6 that it was willing to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds issued by countries struggling to pay their debts. The ECB’s pledge instantly lowered borrowing costs for Spain and Italy, which earlier in the year had faced the same kinds of financial pressures that forced Ire-land, Greece and Spain to seek bailouts.

“Financial market confidence has visibly improved,” Draghi said Thursday during a press conference.

The ECB’s actions are reminiscent of the aggres-sive action by the Federal Reserve in the United States in late 2008 and early 2009 after the finan-cial crisis hit. The Fed offered banks cheap loans and started buying bonds to ease long-term borrow-ing rates and boost the confidence of consumers and businesses.

need for the federal government to articulate what its position will be. ... Everyone shared a sense of urgency and agreed to continue talking about the issue,” spokesman Eric Brown wrote in an email. No date for further talks was announced, he said.

Hickenlooper opposed the ballot measure and has downplayed the likelihood of a commercial marijuana market materializing in Colorado. “If it’s still illegal under federal law, I can’t imagine that 7-Eleven is ever going to sell it,” he said earlier this week.

Denver prosecutors are still reviewing pending marijuana possession cases in Colorado’s largest city, and Denver City Attorney Doug Friednash said it was too soon to say whether small possession cases would be tossed.

But Friednash said the marijuana vote “obviously creates an issue with respect with even obtaining favorable verdicts in these cases.”

In Washington state, a spokesman for Gov. Chris Gregoire said this week that Gregoire would respect the will of the people.

“We are entering uncharted waters and many questions lie ahead as we work to implement this law,” said spokesman Cory Curtis. “Because mari-juana is still illegal at the federal level, we are unsure how the federal government will proceed.”

Earlier this week, Justice Department spokes-woman Nanda Chitre said enforcement of the federal Controlled Substances Act remained unchanged.

“In enacting the Controlled Substances Act, Con-gress determined that marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance,” Chitre said. “We are review-

ing the ballot initiative and have no additional com-ment at this time.”

Chitre declined to comment after Holder spoke with the Colorado officials.

If Colorado’s marijuana ballot measure is not blocked, it would take effect by Jan. 5, the deadline for the governor to add the amendment to the state constitution. The measure allows adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, and six marijuana plants, though public use of the drug and driving while intoxicated are prohibited.

Colorado’s measure also directs lawmakers to write regulations on how pot can be sold, with com-mercial sales possible by 2014.

In Washington state, marijuana possession of an ounce or less would become legal on Dec. 6 if the measure is not blocked, though setting up a state-run sales operation would take a year.

Marijuana business owners gathered in Denver for a two-day conference cheered the votes — but kept a close eye on their smartphones for word of a federal response.

Denver attorney Robert Corry told the crowd at the National Marijuana Business Conference that President Barack Obama sent a signal about mari-juana when he made a record number of campaign visits to the battleground state this year and never talked about the marijuana vote.

“Silence equals consent. The time for the fed-eral government to talk about marijuana legaliza-tion is over. The election has passed,” Corry said to applause from the crowd. “Marijuana got 50,000 more votes than Obama on Tuesday. Don’t think they didn’t notice that.”

although some have taken part in demonstrations against Assad. But like other minority groups, they have increasingly been drawn into the fighting.

The rebel push on Ras al-Ayn, an ethnically mixed town inhabited by Kurds, Arab Muslims and Christians, was likely to inflame tensions with the Kurds who fear a government offensive to flush out the fighters.

Video from Turkey’s Anadolu news agency showed Syrians jumping over and climbing through the razor-wire fence on the 911-kilometer (566-mile) border to cross into Ceylanpinar.

Others fled into Turkey farther west along the border, trying to escape fighting at the Syrian town of Harem in Idlib province, which has seen intense battles in recent days.

The new arrivals bring the number of refugees in Turkey to around 120,000.

Radhouane Nouicer, the U.N.’s regional humani-tarian coordinator for Syria, said the country is seeing unrelenting increases in violence, suffering, displacement and loss, “and civilian Syrians con-tinue to pay the price.”

He said U.N. officials also worry that Kurds and Palestinians are increasingly being drawn into the fighting recently.

The Anadolu agency reported a group of Syrian sol-diers, including two generals and 11 colonels, had fled to Turkey with their families and were taken to a camp for military defectors, including dozens of other generals.

In the interview by broadcaster Russia Today and aired Friday, Assad struck a defiant tone.

“We do not have a civil war,” he said, speaking in English. “It is about terrorism and the support coming from abroad to terrorists to destabilize Syria. This is our war.”

He called it a case of “terrorism through proxies, either Syrians living in Syria or foreign fighters coming from abroad.”

Asked if he has any regrets, he said: “Not now,” although he acknowledged that “when everything is clear” it would be normal to find some mistakes.

Assad, 47, insists that there has been no popular uprising in his country and said he will not step down, hinting he will stay in his post until at least 2014, when elections are scheduled.

GILFORD — The Gilford Silverhawks JV Football team will face the Hollis-Brookline Cavaliers on Saturday, November 10 at 11 a.m. at their home field at Gilford Meadows in the championship game of the Granite State Foot-ball League.

The Silverhawks defeated the fourth-seeded Epping-Newmarket Devils 58-20 last Saturday to advance to championship game while second-seeded Hollis-Brookline topped the Kearsarge Wildacts 12-6 to advance to the finals.

The Silverhawks defeated the Concord Capi-tols 42-0 on October 27 to complete a perfect 9-0 regular season.

The team of 7th and 8th graders from around the Lakes Region placed first in the Granite State Football League JV division. The unde-feated team is made up of youth from Gilford, Belmont, Gilmanton, Meredith and Moulton-borough.

The team is organized through Friends of Gilford Football, which provides flag and tackle football opportunities for area youth from 2nd through 8th grade. More information about the Gilford Silverhawks can be found on the web at www.gilfordfootball.org or on Facebook at Friends of Gilford Football.

another look at New Hampshire’s new law requiring photo identification to vote. Next year, acceptable identifi-cation is narrowed and made much more restrictive, she said.

Larsen also wants to see if some of the funding to public colleges cut by the outgoing Republican Legislature can be restored. She also wants to see if aid to hospitals can be increased.

During her years in the Senate, Larson was the prime sponsor of a tax-free college tuition savings plan called the Unique Plan. She also has sponsored laws estab-

lishing a land conservation program, a subsidized insurance for children and on workforce housing. She has co-sponsored bills to raise the high school dropout age, establish a research and development tax credit for business and to reinstate a job training fund.

“We’re ready to get to work with our new Governor-elect Maggie Hassan and Democrats and Republicans in both chambers to strengthen our economy, create jobs and continue to make New Hampshire the best state in the nation to live and raise a family,” she said.

NH SENATE from page 3

As drivers waited on police-mon-itored lines, thousands more in the region got their power back for the first time since Sandy came ashore 12 days ago. More than 420,000 custom-ers were still without power in New Jersey and the New York City area. President Barack Obama, who visited the battered Jersey coast two days after the storm, said he would survey

the damage in New York next week from the storm, which the American Red Cross said will create its larg-est U.S. relief effort since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The gasoline rationing — first in the nation’s largest city since the 1970s Arab oil embargo — forced motorists to line up depending on whether their license plate ends with odd or even numbers.

— WORSHIP SERVICES —

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has been suspended by the NFL for four games without pay for violating its policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The league’s announcement Friday did not specify the substance. The Patriots had no immediate reaction.

Bolden, signed as a rookie free agent from Missis-sippi, can return to the active roster on Dec. 3, one day after the Patriots game at the Miami Dolphins. He was inactive for the past two games with a knee injury after rushing for 234 yards and two touch-downs in six games.

He ran for 137 yards on 16 carries and one touch-down in a 52-28 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 30.

The Patriots are home against the Bills on Sunday.

Patriots RB Bolden suspended for violating anti-drug policy

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said one-third of the city’s gas stations were open Friday, compared to 25 percent the day before, and cautioned, “there’s no guarantee that odd-even is going to make a big dif-ference.” His estimate was countered by the Energy Department, which said that more than 70 percent of the city’s stations have gas available for sales.

Industry officials first blamed the shortage on gas stations that lost power, but now say the prob-lem has shifted to supply terminals, which are either shut or operating at reduced capacity. Driv-ers are also quicker to top off tanks because they’re afraid gasoline won’t be available, AAA spokesman Michael Green said.

Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Infor-mation Service, said the densely populated New York-New Jersey area has fewer stations per capita than any other major metropolitan area, making the shortage an even bigger problem. He said rationing earlier might have helped in New York City.

“It does curb some of the manic or panic behavior,” Kloza said.

Gasoline moves millions of New Yorkers, just as

the subway does. Hundreds of thousands of people drive to work, especially from the outer boroughs, and taxis and delivery vans are part of every grid-locked intersection.

Friday was an “odd” day in the rationing plan, although not everyone had gotten with the program.

“Even? Odd? Whatever it is, I didn’t have the right one,” said Joe Standart, a 62-year-old artist whose even-numbered car was ordered off a West Side gas station line by a police officer.

Teniele Newbury, a mother of three, defended her need to use a car to go about her daily routine.

“People probably think we can take the subway,” she said, “but I’ve got three kids I’ve got to drop off at three different schools. You try that on the subway with three little kids.”

On Long Island, where odd-even rationing also began Friday, a spot check found shorter lines — 30 to 40 cars at most — and more stations with gas. In Brooklyn, car service owner Gary Lindenbaum said waits last week had been five or six hours.

“The rationing really helps us a lot,” said Linden-baum, owner of Court Express. “We need to work. We need the gas.”

LACONIA — Tommy Turkey wants to remind everyone that the 8th Annual Salvation Army Turkey Plunge will take place at Opechee Cove Beach on Saturday, November 17. Gates open at 10 a.m. followed by the event beginning at noon.

This family-oriented fun time fea-tures folks in bathing suits or cos-tumes plunging into the balmy waters of the lake while raising funds for the Salvation Army. Once again, Nassau Broadcasting DJ Pat Kelly will be making the announcements for the event.

The public is invited to attend the delicious chili, chowder and turkey soup luncheon provided by well-known area restaurants and catered by the Culinary Arts students of Lakes Region Community College immediately after the Plunge at the Laconia Middle School cafeteria.

Last year’s Plunge featured numer-ous teams from area high schools and businesses including the I-L Lakers, the Laconia Sachems, the Belmont Red Raiders, Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, Meredith Autohaus, Fratello’s and T-Bones Restaurant. Salvation Army Commander Captain Steve Warren urges sports teams, businesses, church and school groups to start assembling their team of intrepid Plungers to help raise awareness of, and fi nancial support for, the local Salvation Army.

“Last year’s Plunge generated over $ 15,000 but the needs are great in this economy,” said Captain Warren. “I am offering to have Tommy Turkey visit any business or group to personally collect pledge cards for the November Plunge.”

Contact Captain Warren at 524-1834 if interested in a Tommy visit. You may register on-site the morning of the Plunge as an individual or as a team.

MEREDITH — Join Meredith Historical Society members and guests on Tuesday, November 13 at 7 p.m. to hear local historian David Decker discuss the little known, but fascinating, Civil War Union General George Thomas.

Current historians have largely ignored Thomas by relying on Generals Grant and Sherman’s mem-oirs, which presented Thomas as slow and mediocre. Decker has extensively researched the Civil War and learned that in the 19th century Thomas was considered a military genius. He never lost a battle

and ended the Civil War in five states four months before Lee surrendered to Grant and five months before Johnston surrendered to Sherman.

General Thomas was also highly regarded for his sense of military tactics and innovations, at one point saving the Union army from annihilation.

Decker is a member of the Civil War Round Table of New Hampshire and has studied the Civil War for more than 50 years. He has made numerous presen-tations throughout New England on aspects of the Civil War and is especially passionate and knowl-edgeable about General George Thomas.

This program is free and open to the public. A very brief business meeting will precede Decker’s presen-tation. Refreshments will be served. The Meredith Historical Society is located on Main St., Meredith. For more information, contact Karen Thorndike, 279-2275, karent@metrocast.net.

Moulton Farm plans series of holiday workshops in November & DecemberMEREDITH — Moulton Farm’s

staff will be sharing knowledge, tips and laughs in workshops offered by the Meredith farm in November and December.

“It takes a broad range of skills to provide our customers with the qual-ity items they expect,” says John Moulton, whose family has owned the farm for more than 100 years. “We’re very fortunate to have talented people who not only are good at what they do, but want to share that knowledge with other people. They came up with the ideas for these workshops.”

In the past few years the farm has expanded its prepared food offer-ings, and that’s reflected both in the skills of the staff and this season’s workshops. “We’re fortunate to have people like Jonathan and Trish,” says Moulton. “They not only create won-derful food, but they really enjoy shar-ing those skills with people.” Trisha Lutkus, with over 25 years of baking and pastry experience including work-

ing as a pastry chef for a major hotel in the Boston area, will teach a work-shop on baking biscotti, as well as workshops on decorating gingerbread houses, and assembling the perfect yule log cake.

Jonathan Diola, the farm chef who creates deli-cious dishes from the pro-duce the farm grows, will be teaching workshops on creating the perfect three course holiday dinner. “People like to make it harder than it really is,” he says shaking his head. “I’ll show them it’s possible to create a wonderful dinner and still enjoy the experience.”

On the decorative side, the farm’s team of Sue Dail and Dot Hartson will teach several workshops on creating items to give as gifts or decorate your home. “I’ve been watching them work for years,” says Moulton “and I’m still amazed at the beautiful arrangements

and wreaths they make both for the farm stand and for custom orders for dinners, parties and wed-dings.” Workshops include making herbal wreaths, creating boxwood trees, and decorating wreaths.

Dates for the workshops are listed below and more details including work-shop costs are available by calling the farm or vis-iting the farm’s website.

In addition to the scheduled times, for groups of 8 or more Moulton Farm will schedule a private session on another date for any of the workshops.

— Making Herbal Wreaths: Wednes-day, November 14, at 6 pm

— Creating the Perfect 3 Course Holiday Dinner: Wednesday, Novem-ber 28, at 6 pm or Wednesday, Decem-ber 12, at 6 pm

— The Secret of Making a Yule Log: Sunday, December 2, at 1 pm

Longtime Favorite Singer-Songwriter Karla Bonoff at Silver Center Nov. 18PLYMOUTH — The Silver Center

for the Arts will present singer-song-writer Karla Bonoff in concert at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in the Smith Recital Hall.

Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation. She has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, endur-ing popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers in a career that has spanned four decades. Katie

Curtis, also a performing songwriter says, “...when I hear her aching and unadorned voice, I slump in my chair in a deeply satisfied, melancholy way.”

In addition to achieving chart and fan success with her own record-ings, Bonoff ’s songs have become hits for artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd and Linda Ronstadt, but Bonoff considers herself just as much a performer as a writer. “I don’t

separate them, because I’ve written songs and performed from the begin-ning,” Bonoff told John Matsumoto of the Mercury News. “People know me as a songwriter because other people recorded my songs, but I can’t really separate those things,” she concluded.

Many of Bonoff ’s ballads are now classics. All the while, she has con-tinued to tour extensively, playing to sold-out audiences around the world.

Bonoff produced her first live album 40 years into her career, in 2007. Karla Bonoff Live is a two-CD set containing 21 songs, including some of her most popular material (“All My Life,” “Someone to Lay Down Beside Me,” “Tell Me Why” and “Lose Again”)

plus two new compositions. Like her performances, the instrumenta-tion here is clean and spare, giving Bonoff ’s voice room to work its emo-tional magic on the listener.

“With integrity and clarity and admirable modulation, she belts out her lyrics. And she hits artistic grace notes, whether on piano or guitar,” according to The Denver Post.

Bonoff will perform at PSU with guest guitarist Nina Gerber. Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors and $15 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869. Tickets are also available online at silver.plymouth.edu.

15th!*HOLDERNESS — The Squam

Lakes Association is launching a Squam Toddler Time program on Thursday, November 15.

This is a monthly program will run the third Thursday of each month, November through April, from 10 a.m. to noon and is free to the public.

Outdoor play and exploration is criti-cal to children’s growth and development. Exposure to outdoor play at a young age instills a healthy respect and love for the natural world. During Squam Toddler Time, children will explore nature with their mom, dad, or other caregiver, and enjoy a variety of activities to foster their interest in the outdoors. Each month a new theme will be examined as the sea-sons change before our eyes. Outdoor walks, art projects, stories and free play are all part of the fun!

This series is designed for children around ages 1 - 4 (with adult) but younger children are welcome to tag along and

participate. The program is all about inspiring the young to explore nature and natural world around them. Dates and Themes: November 15 - Trees, Trees, Fall Trees; December 20 - Winter Solstice Fun; January 17 - Beach Party: Winter Style; February 21 - Swirling Snowflakes; March 21 - It’s a Muddy, Buggy World; April 18 - Earth Day, Every Day.

During each of these morning pro-grams, we will have our great room open for parents of younger children who would like to gather, play, talk and enjoy the beauty of the lake from our facility. Toys, books, games and comfort-able seating will be available for use.

All Toddler Time programs will be held at the Squam Lakes Associa-tion Headquarters at 534 Route 3 in Holderness. There is limited space for this program and parents are urged to call the SLA office at (603) 968-7336 or send an email to info@squamlakes.org if planning to participate.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Friends will consult you. You’ll correctly sense that blanket advice would be a disser-vice. Ask a lot of questions. You’ll only be helpful if you know exactly what’s going on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s not that there’s anything wrong with today. It’s a perfectly good day fi lled with perfectly good opportunities. And yet, your astrologer would be remiss in not informing you that tomorrow will be better. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You rarely offend people at all and never do it on purpose. But if you do commit a social peccadillo or two now, this proof of your humanity will only serve to endear you to others. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a talent for calibrating a person’s interest level and then matching it with the response that will ratchet that inter-est up a few notches. If you can’t make money with this talent now, fi nd some-one who can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re observant and soulful now and will start to realize the underlying motives for someone’s behavior. The one who treats you like a kid sibling has far deeper affections for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You sense that your presence is required, and you take part in as much group activity as you can comfortably enjoy. Solitude is necessary, too. When you can’t get away, you’ll take refuge in your mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Can your language patterns put someone in a trance? If you’ve studied hypnosis, maybe. But you’ll be far more effective just speaking plainly about what’s really

in your heart. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have fun being part of a lively crowd and watching the focus bounce from person to subject to location. All of this mingling will help you to develop your social instincts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The wandering wild horse part of your centaurian nature takes over, and you may have to put on imaginary blinders just to stay on track with your original desire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll believe in others and encourage them to believe in themselves. This is far better than watching them relax while you shoulder the bulk of the work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re not a people user; you want to be a part of relationships in which there are reciprocal benefi ts. You have an excellent instinct for picking whom you should know out of a crowd. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be approached by someone who com-municates differently because of where he’s coming from, or because he has simply lost touch with the way people normally communicate. Your compas-sion will be needed. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). Your cosmic birthday gift comes right on time. You make your intentions clear and get just the response you were looking for. December changes the logistics in your life through a change of residence or personal habit. January is your time to branch out professionally. One good friend paves the way. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 38, 22 and 10.

Answerhere:

Today is Saturday, Nov. 10, the 315th day of 2012. There are 51 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On Nov. 10, 1972, three armed men hijacked

Southern Airways Flight 49, a DC-9 with 24 other passengers on board during a stopover in Birmingham, Ala., and demanded $10 million in ransom. (The 30-hour ordeal, which involved landings in nine U.S. cities and Toronto, fi nally ended with a second landing in Cuba, where the hijackers were taken into custody by Cuban authorities.)

On this date:In 1775, the U.S. Marines were organized

under authority of the Continental Congress.In 1871, journalist-explorer Henry M. Stanley

found Scottish missionary David Livingstone, who had not been heard from for years, near Lake Tanganyika in central Africa.

In 1919, the American Legion opened its fi rst national convention in Minneapolis.

In 1938, Kate Smith fi rst sang Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America” on her CBS radio program. Turkish statesman Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died in Istanbul at age 57.

In 1942, Winston Churchill delivered a speech in London in which he said, “I have not become the King’s First Minister to preside over the liqui-dation of the British Empire.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I am one of 13 siblings. Both of our parents have been sick for the past four years. At one time, we had a family meeting, and everyone agreed to pay $20 a week for a caregiver, since we all worked. But slowly, my sib-lings started to bail out. The fi rst to go was their favorite (and ungrateful) daughter. Dad died three months ago. It was hard on those of my sisters who gave up their weekends to care for my folks and put their families on the back burner in order to do the right thing by our parents. Meanwhile, the ungrate-ful daughter and another sister were listed as benefi ciaries on Dad’s life insurance policy. We talked to them about leaving the money to Mom, who needed it, and suggested they give her at least half. One sister did. The other, how-ever, pocketed all of it. How can she live with herself? Why are some siblings so selfi sh? What can we do? -- Saddened Sibling Dear Sibling: We can’t explain why some kids turn out the way they do. The psychological factors are too numer-ous to mention. Unfortunately, you cannot force your sis-ter to return any of the money or to be gracious enough to give it to Mom. Chalk it up to a frustrating and sad loss, not only of the money, but also of your closeness to your sister. Dear Annie: I have an acquaintance who gives parties (birthdays, baby showers, etc.) for her immediate fam-ily, and the invitation always requests that guests bring a side dish. The party is never in her home. I don’t think she wants to take the time to clean, and it is too small to hold all the people she invites. To throw a party for your spouse or child and expect the invited guests to bring a gift and provide the food strikes

me as wrong. I was so turned off last time that I didn’t at-tend. She could easily throw a more low-key event. What do you think? Am I making too much of this? -- Living Within My Budget in Redding, Calif. Dear Budget: If you know in advance that the party is potluck, and everyone brings a dish to share, it is tolerable to have this type of party, even though the gifts benefi t her family members. Where the event takes place is irrelevant unless she’s asking you to foot the bill for that, as well. You could, of course, say that your side dish is also your gift, or, as you did previously, you could simply not attend. Dear Annie: My heart goes out to “In the Middle.” We, too, have a grossly overweight daughter and have tried every way we know to help her. I have paid for just about every diet there is, only to fi nd her cheating. It kills me to see her this way. She is the most beautiful girl and has a heart to match. She is now 35 and still can’t see what she is doing to her-self. She has three children and teaches kindergarten. She nearly lost her job because she could not bend down to the children’s level. She is often at the doctor’s offi ce. Her knees ache, and she can’t walk very far, but no physician has said a thing about her weight. I know we must let her lead her own life, but I can’t stand to hear her complain about her knees and then fi nd candy wrappers all over the house. We are so afraid she may end up with diabetes, heart disease and who knows what else. A parent never gives up on their child, no mat-ter what. -- We Are There and It Hurts Dear Hurts: It is not “giving up” to allow your daughter to see that she is responsible for her own health. All you can do is love her as she is for as long as you can.
