LACONIA — An Emerald Drive woman scared away a would-be burglar crawling through her bedroom early Monday morning by screaming and turning on her light.

Sheila Harris (not her real name) said she was sleeping when around 3 a.m. she woke to what she said was the glow of an apparent pen-light.

She said at first she thought it was the reflec-tion of a headlight off her wall but then she real-ized someone was kneeling at the foot of her bed.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Massa-chusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-ney’s campaign said Tuesday that he will not sign a conservative Iowa Christian group’s far-reaching pledge opposing gay marriage, making him the first Republican presidential candidate to reject it.

Two of Romney’s rivals for the Republi-can nomination, Min-nesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, have signed the The Family Leader’s 14-point pledge, which calls on the candidates to denounce same-sex marriage rights, por-nography, same-sex military accommo-dations and forms of Islamic law.

When it was first circulated last week, the introduction to the pledge stated that Afri-can American children

WASHINGTON (AP) — With compro-mise talks at a vituperative standstill, Senate Republicans unexpectedly offered Tuesday to hand President Barack Obama new powers to avert a first-ever govern-ment default threatened for Aug. 2.

Under a proposal outlined by Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Obama could request — and likely secure — increases of up to $2.5 trillion in the government’s borrowing authority in three separate installments over the next year, as long as he simultaneously proposed spending cuts of greater size.

The debt limit increases would take effect

WEARE, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire authorities on Tuesday confirmed the identities of those killed two days earlier in a murder-suicide, saying a Weare teenager killed his father’s girlfriend, broke into a nearby apartment and then returned home to kill himself.

Jacob Geiser, 18, and Cheryl Maher, 41, died early Sunday in the home they shared with Geiser’s father. Autopsies showed that Geiser died of a single, self-inflicted gunshot

Republican proposes giving Obama new debt limit powerunless blocked by Congress under special rules that would require speedy action — and even then Obama could exercise his authority to veto such legislation. Signifi-cantly, the president’s spending cuts would be debated under normal procedures, with no guarantee they ever come to a final vote.

McConnell made his proposal public a few hours before Obama presided over his third meeting in as many days with con-gressional leaders searching for a way to avoid a default and possible financial crisis.

Democratic officials who participated in the session said Obama did not reject the Senate Republican leader’s suggestion, but

stressed it was not his preferred approach. A statement issued later in press secre-tary Jay Carney’s name said the president “continues to believe that our focus must remain on seizing this unique opportunity to come to agreement on significant, bal-anced deficit reduction.”

Other officials said participants at the meeting spent part of the time reviewing proposed spending cuts that were made by both sides during several weeks of negotia-tions led by Vice President Joe Biden, sug-gesting that negotiators had not given up on a deal to cut deficits.

see DEBT LIMIT page 9

AG says Weare 18-year-old killed dad’s girlfriend, then himselfwound to the head, and Maher was stran-gled, stabbed in the neck and hit on the head, the attorney general’s office said.

Police went to the home around 6:30 a.m. after receiving a 911 call. That call followed another reporting an armed home invasion about a mile away. Authorities said Tues-day that Geiser killed Maher before forc-ing his way into an apartment, where he fired a shotgun but didn’t hit anyone. He then returned home and killed himself.

Neighbors described Geiser as well-man-nered and helpful. David Wilson of Weare, a former high school classmate of Geiser’s, said Geiser was quiet, proud and quick to defend himself against criticism.

“It didn’t take much to make him angry, so kids kind of stayed away from him,” Wilson told the Concord Monitor. “He just didn’t put up with it if someone was trying to make fun of him ... I kind of respected

LETTERSListen, this ‘too big to fail’ bank needs to be brought to justice

Michael Barone

Some of us called it the man-cession. In the deep recession that lasted from December 2007 to June 2009, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, many more men than women lost their jobs.

The imbalance was huge. The Bureau of Labor Statistics showed a decline of 5.4-million jobs for men versus 2.1-million for women. So 71-percent of job losses were absorbed by men.

If the numbers had been the other way around, you surely would have seen a lot of newspaper and maga-zine stories about women as the victims of the recession — the kind of stories with headlines reading “Women, minorities hardest hit.”

There were fewer such stories about the impact of the recession on men. One reason is that job losses, as is usually the case in recessions, were heaviest in construction and manufacturing, sectors in which men tend to predominate.

The other reason is that the jour-nalistic class is just not inclined to see men as victims. So we haven’t seen much investigation into whether the man-cession led to more divorces, family breakups, substance abuse or suicides.

There’s another factor at work here: the difference between pub-lic-sector and private-sector jobs. During the recession, almost all the job losses were in the private sector.

Public-sector employment held up pretty well in the recession and into 2010. One reason was the Obama Democrats’ February 2009 stimulus package, one-third of which was aid to state and local governments — in which most jobs are held by women.

This was an attempt to main-tain employment among public-sector union members. Such unions account for most union members, and unions channeled $400-million to Democratic campaigns in the 2008 campaign cycle.

But now the stimulus funds have run out, and public-sector payrolls are falling.

This helps to account for the fact, highlighted in a recent Pew Research Center report and a Wash-ington Post news story, that from June 2009 to May 2011, the number of men with jobs rose by 768,000 while the number of women with jobs fell by 218,000.

The man-cession has become a (not large) man-covery.

This is in contrast to the economic recoveries following every recession since 1970, in which women gained more jobs than men.

It seems to have left the Pew

Analyzing the ‘man-cession’

researchers puzzled.It hasn’t resulted from any mas-

sive increase in construction or manufacturing jobs. As the Pew report notes, men have gained more jobs than women in 15 of 16 major sectors of the economy. (The sole exception is state government.)

Men have gained jobs in the retail sector, in which women have lost them. The retail, manufacturing and fi nance sector employed 253,000 more men in May 2011 than in June 2009 and 433,000 fewer women.

And men have gained more jobs than women in health and educa-tion — two sectors in which employ-ment has grown during the past decade.

What I see beneath these data is something like this: a picture of men hustling to acquire new skills and learn how to do different jobs than they have in the past, while many women sit back and accept whatever the macroeconomy doles out.

A lot of men seem to have fi gured out that health and education, as Arnold Kling and Nick Schulz argue in the lead article in the latest edition of National Affairs, have become the “commanding heights” of the economy.

What we are seeing, I think, is that individuals, most of them men, have been responding to cues sent by the market economy and have been adjusting far more rapidly than centrally designed govern-ment programs ever could do.

It’s analogous to what we’ve seen recently in the energy sector. While government has been huffi ng and puffi ng about “green jobs” and relying more on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, the oil and gas industries have developed new techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking to vastly increase the com-mercially viable supply of oil and natural gas.

Unfortunately, the man-covery has not been proceeding fast enough to produce the kind of robust recov-ery that we’ve had after most past recessions. Friday’s announcement that the economy last month gained only 18,000 jobs — in a nation of about 311,720,000 people — makes that clear.

But the man-covery gives reason to hope that if the dead weight of high government spending and overregulation can be removed, our economy can boom once again.

To the editor,I just want to tell my story of how

one of the “too big to fail” banks does business and to see if anyone else went through what we went through.

In April of 2009 we received a letter by this bank stating that we were in foreclosure. Seeing that the bank was not our mortgage company, I was con-fused as to how another mortgage com-pany could foreclose on my property.

I called the bank to see what was going on. They stated that they were our mortgage company since January 2009 and that we had missed three payments. When I stated that we had sent our mortgage payments to the original lender (we had copy of our cashed checks) they stated we should contact them to get our money back, but we were still in foreclosure.

I contacted the fi rst mortgage com-pany and they stated they had no longer serviced our mortgage and that it now belonged to the big bank.We were never sent any notice that the big bank was our mortgage company.

In order to avoid foreclosure we now had to try and get a loan modifi cation from the bank. During this process we were told by the bank not to send any mortgage payments. After jumping through hoops, we were granted the Home Affordable Program, in which they put all our missed payments on the back end of our mortgage.

Now here is where the big bank shows its true colors. In July of 2010 again we were served foreclosure papers. I called the bank and stated that this had to be a mistake as we never missed a payment since we were granted the loan modifi -cation. They stated that we had missed a May 2010 payment which put us in breach of contract on the loan modifi ca-tion. That meant we owed ALL of the payments before the modifi cation was granted, a total of $11,000. I called my bank to get my bank statements and lo and behold we found that we indeed payed our May payment.

Again I called the big bank and stated to them that we had our May payment’s cancelled check. I was told that they would research what was going on. The customer service rep stated that I should apply for another loan modifi cation. I agreed and gave her all my fi nancial info on the phone. She stated that we did qualify for

the loan modifi cation and they would start the process.

I didn’t hear anything from the bank for a while so I kept calling and I got the same answers from them, that they were reviewing our loan modifi cation request. Then in August of 2010 I called to see why we still haven’t received our loan modifi cation paperwork. The customer service rep stated that we were denied because we defaulted on our fi rst loan modi-fi cation. I asked why and he stated that because our May payment went to something called an INVESTORS FEE! That null and voided our con-tract because in reality he said we had to make 12 payments without missing any. This was after I had called the big bank over 20 times, talking to a dif-ferent rep every time, and no one ever mentioned an INVESTORS FEE.

This is the way the big bank does business. They receive money from the federal government for participat-ing in the loan modifi cation program. They tell you not to send any mort-gage payments while the modifi ca-tion process is ongoing. They grant the loan modifi cation. Then they fi nd a loophole which in my case was an investors fee to put the homeowner in default of the agreement. Then they foreclose and get your property. It’s a win-win situation for them.

As of right now we have been fore-closed upon and our house was bought by Fannie Mae, which has had its legal problems as well.

I don’t know how these CEOs sleep at night but I’m sure they are sleeping on a pile of money.

From all the people on the Inter-net I’ve talked to this is not a rare occurrence. This is happening all over America. This bank needs to be brought to justice for fraud, deception and embezzlement.

I called a few lawyers but none of them will do it on a contingency basis. My hope is an attorney will read this letter and take our case.

If you had a similar problem e-mail me @[email protected] and maybe together we all can start a class action suit and get some justice for the American homeowner.

God Bless America, but not this big bank.Dave MilesLaconia

LETTERSGilmanton supports its school very well; where are the results?To the editor,

Gilmanton school has failed to meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) cri-teria — AGAIN! I think this is year number four that the Gilmanton School has failed!

There have been many letters in your paper recently giving opinion about what problems are holding our schools back. I don’t propose to have the answer, but, I think I can say with confi dence that in this town it is certainly not lack of fi nancial support. Our school budget passes every year with overwhelming support, usually within the hour. Are we getting the return for our tax dollars? After year four of failure, the school must also offer a choice to parents to send their child to a better performing public school if they prefer — what will this cost us? Also, additional services are supposed to be offerred — again, what will this cost us?

I specifi cally remember attending a school board meeting where our teach-

ers and staff made comments that if the school were to pass AYP it would mean less money. It seemed to be kind of an inside joke! So is this a lack of incen-tive for school districts to not meet the grade? I would be embarrassed to be a part of a teaching staff that fails to educate the students of Gilmanton adequately given the fi nancial support consistently provided. If I had a child in the Gilmanton School, I would certainly be educating myself on the current sitiuation and the options available to me (http://www.education.nh.gov/nclb/sanctions.htm#choice).

I am sure there are plenty of excuses but at the end of the day isn’t this what we pay our tax dollars for? Shouldn’t we at the very least be able to have confi dence in the quality of the education the children in our town are receiving? Again, this is YEAR FOUR — how disappointing!

Friday night in Gilford is place to be for classical music at its bestTo the editor,

The New Hampshire Music Festival is back! In Gilford that is. After several years absence the Music Festival has returned for Friday night concerts.

If you missed the rousing Brahms Concerto for Violin and Cello you missed an extraordinary musical experience. The orchestra, under Ben Loeb’s leadership, was in fi ne tune, crisp and clear. Jennifer Frautschi

and Alexis Pia Gerlach played the passionate cello and violin concerto with verve and superb skill.

There was excitement as well as fi ne music in the air. If you have any interest in classical music at its best I recommend next Friday. The concert will include Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Dvorak.

My Social Security is not an entitlement, it’s a paid for benefi tTo the editor,

Our governments current policy seems to be, let’s screw the recipients of Social Security, which is not an entitle-ment but a paid for benefi t, and send all of our tax money and jobs to foreign countries. Who really has the gumption to put an end to foreign aid fi asco? Who is benefi ting from this give away policy,

it’s U.S. business who want to set up shop in a foreign country to ease their tax burden and reduce their labor costs.

While your at it, let’s look at the cost of operating the useless United Nations organization. How have we benefi ted from its existence?

LETTERSCommunity support for Makris Bike & Boat Run was overwhelmingTo the editor,

The Fifth Annual Peter Makris Bike and Boat Run was held at the NASWA Resort on Saturday June 11 and, despite the pouring rain, was again a great success. Cynthia Makris started this event in 2007 as a memorial to her father Peter Makris who passed away on February 4, 2007. Peter was a huge supporter of the fire department, Motorcycle Week, and the Marine Corps. The event is a great way to remember Peter and all the wonderful things he did for this community. The Makris family graciously donates the proceeds from this wonderful event to the Laconia Fire Department Water Rescue Teams and the Easter Seals Veterans Count Program. A very spe-cial thank you goes to Cynthia for her untiring efforts remembering her father, and for all her philanthropy throughout the Lakes Region. I also extend our thanks to her sisters Vic-toria and Karen and her mother Hope for their support of the event.

There were 189 riders as well as a dozen boaters who participated. Even the pouring rain did not stop these sup-porters and motorcycle enthusiasts. The road trip would not have been possible without the support of the New Hamp-shire State Police who escorted the participants on the two hour trip, and Laconia Police who helped get them through the Weirs. We are very grateful for your assistance.

The community support for this event was overwhelming. I would like to thank the major sponsors who through their donations truly make this event a success: The NASWA Resort, Laconia Savings Bank, Zero Waste (Stanley Emmanuel), Paul Busby Construction, Laconia Harley-Davidson, Bonnette, Page & Stone, MB Tractor and Equipment, GMI Asphalt, Lakeport Landing and Marina, PR Power, Manchester Harley Davidson, Climate Design, Fusion Sales Group, Three Olives, Budweiser, Pepsi, Alan Rouleau Couture, Plastic Distribution

and Fabrication (Mark Abare) and Meredith Village Savings Bank.

I am always amazed by the com-munity support and spirit for chari-table events. Our local businesses are always ready to help out a good cause. The following businesses donated items to the silent auction: Boulia Gorrell Lumber, Happy Jack’s Cigar and Tobacco Shop, Mt. Washington Cruise Ship, Dominoes’ Pizza, Weirs Beach Lobster Pound, Lake Opechee Inn and Spa, Baron’s Major Brands, Jade Trace Golf, Trustworthy Hard-ware, The Margate Resort, Amerigas, and Lowe’s. The following business donated items to the raffle: Belknap Tire and Auto Repair, Steele Hill Resort, Christmas Island North Pole Steak House, Awakenings Espresso, Lyon’s Den restaurant, Union Diner, Water Street Café, the Downtown Deli, Sparkle Clean Car Wash, Weirs Beach Lobster Pound Restaurant, Patrick’s Pub and Eatery, Bootlegger’s, Annie’s Cafe and Catering, Hector’s Restau-rant, Laconia Car Wash, Fratello’s Italian Grille, Paradise Beach Club, The Crazy Gringo, Cactus Jacks & T-bones, The Wining Butcher, Subway, The Heat Wood Fired Grille, Tower Tavern, Broken Spoke Saloon, Burrito Me, the Looney Bin, My Coffee Shop, and Weirs Beach Dunklin Donuts. Your support is greatly appreciated. Please stop by these businesses and say thank you for their support.

A special thank you to Father Mark Drouin for blessing the riders, bikes and boats; Don Kimtis for donating the PA system, Marilyn and Liz from PR Power, The Citizen and Daily Sun for their coverage in their newspapers and the Laconia Professional Fire-fighters, and our families and friends who helped during the day.

And lastly, thanks to all who partici-pated in the event. It may have been rain-ing, but the sun was shining in everyone’s heart. You truly are special people.

Party we are fighting for doesn’t have guts to stand up to RINOsTo the editor,

When will the GOP have the COUR-AGE to call out RINOs? NEVER! That’s why we will never get any-thing of substance done. Why do we keep fighting, when the party we are fighting for does not have the guts to stand up to the very people who take our fundraising money and then vote

against us?We have an anti-American presi-

LETTERSWe are increasingly unable to act to help the least of us

about the selling out of our country. In only 2 1/2 years we have seen one man and his administration turn our country into a third-world socialist government. What kind of country are we leaving our next generation?

To the editor,Our pastor gave a sermon about our

freedom to worship at our summer service. Our Congregational Church in Center Harbor has an 8:30 outside service during the summer on a hill overlooking the lake. There is a birch cross in full view from Rt 25.

Her sermon started out with how fortu-nate we are to be able to worship our God out in the open. There are so many places in the world where the only “safe” religion is the predominant one of the place in which you live. Services for other religions must be kept out of sight, and may even be dangerous to attend.

The scripture reading was about Joshua asking for God’s help in over-throwing Jericho in the upcoming battle. Joshua asks “Are you for us or for our enemies?” God’s answer is a mes-sage for everyone to hear, and respect, regardless of who they worship. He rejects the demand that he choose sides.

The message Sunday morning is for all of us to ponder and act on. You are ALL my children; Israelites, Amorites, Americans, Afghans, Sunnis, Shi’tes, Catholics and Protestants, Democrats

and Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals. You are all my people.

“I came to you in Jesus Christ to show you a better way, using a greater power than bombs and guns and self serving laws.”

Speaking as Kent Warner, I decry the terrible divisions in this country, where we are increasingly unable to act on Jesus’ injunction to help the least of us. Those who are powerless need the protection of those with power. This seems to translate into those with money. Every religion with which I am familiar has a similar message for its followers. It is time the power hungry and greedy turned to their God to receive that message, and to follow it.

The poor and unemployed are not that way by choice. The system, of long standing, is rigged against them. Let us begin to change the system. Don’t be satisfied with the stands the politicians that you elected are taking on supporting the needy. Get them to act positively.

Under fair tax, all would get refund on what low income could buyTo the editor,

Greg Knytych’s letter in the July 9 Daily Sun, was very good, but proves how wordy and confusing politicians can be.

A summary of those goals IS the FAIR Tax: eliminate complexity, loop-holes, political backdoor payoffs and lies! Extreme simplicity, accuracy, and FAIRNESS to ALL (except the mil-lions of tax lawyers: they’ll have to find honest things to do). The FAIR Tax is so simple and easy that most politicians can’t understand it: “how can politics and ripoff taxing get simple and easy?”

FAIR Tax: All get a refund for the tax on what a person with minimum income could purchase: If “minimum income is stated as $20,000 per year, and fair tax rate is 18-percent, then everyone gets an up front rebate of $3600, to offset what they MIGHT spend in tax for next year.

Everyone then pays the fair tax (in example, 18-percent) on every NEW item they buy. So for example, when the super rich buy a $100,000,000 yacht or airplane they pay $18,000,000 tax. No bookkeeping problems, no tax returns to file. Those who manage to live only on used things or what they make or grow themselves pay no tax! It has NOTHING to do with how much you earn! Save all of it and pay no tax, spend and pay tax!

I expect that will save about 40,000,000 hours of record keeping and tax form filing.

spend on tax filing and record keeping, then the fair tax reduction may not appeal to you. No one I know of thinks that way! GO FOR THE FAIR TAX

Note, there is an effort going to IMPOSE a FLAT tax, which retains ALL of present system complex-ity, record keeping, filing forms confusion, and only results in net tax INCREASE for all but the rich! Don’t get confused or ripped off by those LIARS!

I expect that soon after the fair tax is approved nationally, states will apply the same to their income and sales taxes, and soon after the same will happen to property tax.

LACONIA — Since April, The Daily Sun news-papers have been offering a product distinct from traditional print advertising. Borrowing the model pioneered by the successful groupon.com and living-social.com sites, The Daily Sun Deals offer substan-tial savings from businesses local to the communities the papers publish in: Laconia, Berlin, Conway and Portland, Maine.

Adam Hirshan, a partner in the company that owns The Laconia Daily Sun and the paper’s adver-tising manager, said The Daily Sun Deals represent an example of how newspapers will increasingly employ emerging technologies to augment conven-tional print advertising revenues.

The new offering borrows the group coupon con-cept pioneered by Groupon, a company founded in Chicago in 2008 and which is considered by some to be the fastest-growing company in history. Financial details released in June showed Groupon revenues in 2009 totaled about $30.5-million. Revenues in 2010 were $713.4-million and in only the first quar-ter of 2011, Groupon’s revenues were $644.7-million.

Those details were included in paperwork the company filed in anticipation of an initial public offering later this year, which the Wall Street Jour-nal reported could raise as much as $1-billion. The company’s exponential and international growth has spawned myriad competitors, most notably liv-ingsocial.com.

The model works as follows. The deal company negotiates with businesses to offer a radical dis-count, such as half off, on goods or services. The deal company then sends out an e-mail message notify-ing its subscribers of the deal. If they choose to take part, subscribers then purchase the deal on the deal company’s website. Revenues from the deal sales are split between the deal company and the business

Daily Sun Deals offers local version of dynamic Internet promotion model pioneered by Groupon

offering the deal. When subscribers wish to redeem their deal, they print a voucher from the deal web-site and bring it to the business.

Businesses participate for the chance to develop relationships with new customers while the custom-ers get the opportunity for significant savings.

The Daily Sun Deals program began in Portland, Maine, where a small company approached The Portland Daily Sun to help start a localized deal program. The deal company needed The Daily Sun to help promote the program and, in doing so, build its list of e-mail subscribers – people who sign up to receive notification of available deals.

“The most important thing for a deal site is to have lots of good e-mail addresses,” Hirshan said.

That conversation lead Hirshan and business partner Mark Guerringue to realize that the four Daily Sun newspapers were in a position to facili-tate a deals program. Partnering with tippr.com, a company that helps operate similar programs across the country, Daily Sun Deals was launched in April of this year.

While Groupon offers a new deal every day, The Daily Sun Deals cycle about once or twice per city per week.

Hirshan said he wants to ensure that the offers are always “interesting” to subscribers. “It’s impor-tant that the deals offered capture the imagination of the readers,” he said.

In addition to e-mail notification, the deals are also advertised in The Daily Sun newspapers. The Laconia Daily Sun is currently printing 18,000 papers per day. Combined with the print runs in Conway, Portland and Berlin, The Daily Sun Deals are announced in about 50,000 newspapers daily.

The Daily Sun Deals e-mail subscription list started out with 1,000. By mid-May there were nearly 2,900 subscribers. By the time of this article, 5,000 had signed up to receive the e-mail announcements.

Hirshan said the most successful deals have offered “interesting, exciting opportunities” such as restaurants, spa treatments and other indulgences. The first deal in the Laconia market, $5 for a $10 voucher at Burrito Me, sold 136 deals. Christmas Island Steakhouse sold 108 of its deal, $12 for a $25 voucher. Funspot was another big seller, with 70 people taking advantage of the opportunity to pay $25 for a voucher redeemable for $50 in tokens.

North Conway restaurant Horsefeathers sold 239 of its offer of $12 for a $25 voucher, more than any of the other Daily Sun Deals.

Unlike conventional print advertising, Hirshan said, The Daily Sun Deals offer local businesses the opportunity to promote themselves without an up-front cost. Revenue from the sale of the deals is

returned to the adver-tiser, half of which is transferred in cash and the other half is given as a voucher for an equivalent value of print advertising.

For example, if a res-taurant was offering a $20 voucher for $10, and sold 50 deals, there would be $500 in result-ing revenue. The restau-rant would receive $250 in cash plus the ability to run an advertisement in The Daily Sun worth $250. Hirshan said The Daily Sun sales staff has found the deals program to be attrac-tive to businesses who are looking to meet new customers but don’t want to pay up-front for print advertising.

“We want to establish a relationship with the advertiser,” he said. “We want to continue that relationship in print (advertising).” The mod-erate increase of rev-enue brought through The Daily Sun Deals has contributed to the rising revenues enjoyed by The Laconia Daily Sun.

Hirshan predicted that newspapers such as his would continue to explore opportuni-ties to diversify revenue sources. “Certainly, the future of newspapers will depend upon how new technology is absorbed into the tradi-tional business model. Since we’re free circula-tion, we continue to see growth in our print rev-enues, unlike all of our paid competitors,” Hir-shan added. “The future of Daily Sun newspapers will have to embrace new technologies.”

There was little or no dispute among senior offi-cials about the importance of avoiding default.

In an interview on CBS taped before the meeting, Obama said that without a deal to raise the debt limit, he could not guarantee that Social Security checks will be issued on Aug. 3 “because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, inter-viewed on Fox News, pointed to turmoil rippling across Europe as evidence of what might happen if the United States defaults on its obligations.

In essence, McConnell’s proposal would greatly enhance Obama’s authority to avoid a default, while also virtually absolving Republicans of responsibil-ity if one occurred.

At the same time, it would allow Republi-can lawmakers to avoid having to support an increase in the debt limit, something many of them find odious.

“Republicans will choose a path that actu-ally reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible

thing and ensure the government doesn’t default on its obligations,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. He also excoriated the administra-tion for seeking tax increases along with spending cuts as part of an agreement to raise the debt limit, adding that as long as Obama is president “a real solution is unattainable.”

Boehner praised McConnell for doing “good work” with his recommendation but did not endorse it.

Other conservatives were less polite. Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich tweeted his criticism almost as soon as the proposal was released. Rep. Louie Gohm-ert, R-Texas, said Republicans would be “agreeing to give up the best leverage that we could possibly have to get the country on track financially in return for an

agreement that is completely unenforceable.”At the same time, Boehner said he believed Obama

was trying to reach a compromise on deficit cuts, “but their insistence on raising taxes is preventing us from getting there.”

The talks have revolved around attempts to meet Republican demands for deficit cuts at least as large as any increase in the debt limit. Negotiators have grown testy in recent days as Obama and Democrats pushed for higher tax revenue as part of the deal, a line Republicans say they will not cross.

Given the reaction from other Republicans, it seemed unlikely that McConnell’s proposal could show the White House and congressional leaders of

both parties a way out of a deadlock that Obama and others said threatened calamitous results for an economy still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades.

Yet it would obligate Obama to outline deep spend-ing cuts, something Republicans have been trying to force him to do for months without much success.

Reductions as large as $2.5 trillion would almost certainly affect domestic programs seen as impor-tant by Democratic constituencies and by rank-and-file lawmakers, possibly including Medicare and Medicaid. Even if the cuts never took effect, Republi-cans would be able to call for votes, while identifying them as sponsored by the White House.

Any such proposals could also be used by Republi-cans in the 2012 campaigns, if only to blunt attacks made by Democrats.

The White House talks have been aimed at pro-ducing a compromise to cut projected deficits by tril-lions of dollars over the next decade while renewing the Treasury’s authority to resume borrowing.

The government reached its current $14.3 trillion borrowing limit several weeks ago, and Treasury officials have been relying on accounting maneuvers to continue to pay the nation’s bills without addi-tional borrowing.

to Lakeport Square, was completed at a total cost of $820,000. The WOW Trail committee, a non-profit cor-poration, raised $120,000 in contributions from indi-viduals and corporations to match $700,000 in funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (so-called stimulus money) and other grants.

Originally the WOW Trail received a Transpor-tation Enhancement grant of $556,819 from the United States Departent of Transportation for the design and construction of the second phase of the trail. When the city reconstructed the Fair Street Bridge, which lies on the route of phase two, the WOW Trail took the opportunity to add a footpath to the span in anticipation of building the trail. The work cost $177,600, of which $107,600 was drawn from the grant, leaving a balance of $449,219.

However, in order to meet the escalating cost of the first phase, $300,000 originally designated for the second was applied to the first, leaving a bal-ance of just $149,219 in the federal grant designated for the second phase. Hanley said that although some $583,000 in stimulus funds were allotted to complete the first phase of the trail, the $300,000,

together with grants awarded to similar projects in the state, was deposited in a pool. These funds were then allocated to different projects. Hanley said that some money from the pool was applied to the WOW Trail, but much less than the original $300,000.

To begin the second phase, Hanley said that her organization needed to match the remaining balance of $149,219 in the grant at 25-percent, or $37,304, as well as restore the $300,000 withdrawn from the grant. She estimated that fundraising efforts have collected close to $290,000, leaving between $40,000 and $50,000 to be raised.

Hanley said that until the design work is complete the cost of the second phase cannot be estimated. She noted that the bridgework was complete and that the first 700 feet of the trail could follow a paved bike path northward from the Belmont town line.

“We will have several options once we get an esti-mate,” she said, “including changing the design.”

The WOW Trail is legally, in effect, a city parkway — funds are granted to the city and the agreement with the state that provides railroad easment right-of-way is in the city’s name — but Hanley’s commit-tee coordinates the planning and fundraising.

She said she stayed still for another minute or so thinking to herself, “you really are in trouble.”

Then she said she thought, “Well I’m not going to just lay here,” and she said sat up in bed, turned on the light (the only thing she thought she had to defend herself if it came to that) and began scream-ing as loud as she could.

“The person — I keep saying it’s a ‘he’ but I don’t

know that — sprang up and ran out the bedroom door,” she said.

Harris said she jumped out of bed and made sure the doors were locked and called 9-1-1. She described the person as “very tall and very skinny” and com-pletely dressed in black.

“The police were there in a flash,” she said.She said they called for a police dog — the Gil-

ford Police confirmed K-9 Officer Dustin Parent

and Agbar were sent to the home — and one officer stayed with her in her living room while another made sure no one was still in her house.

She said police told her that the garage door was ajar and it was seemingly the way the burglar entered and left. She said she is typically hyper-vig-ilant about locking her doors and windows but she and her husband rarely use the garage door and she said she may have left it unlocked.

She said whoever was in her house came through the garage, the breezeway, the kitchen, living room and climbed the stairs to the second floor where there are three bedrooms. She doesn’t know if the burglar went into any of the other bedrooms because there was nothing missing.

“I don’t leave my things strewn about,” she said, adding she has a spot for her pocketbook and she puts her other things away. “Nothing is ever left on the counter or the bureau tops.”

She said she has been aware of the rash of bur-glaries in Laconia and surrounding communities, this would be the tenth late-night burglary reported in the city in the last few weeks, and has two-by-fours bracing her sliding doors.

She said always locks her doors and windows but allows this time she may have forgotten. “The door didn’t seem like it had been jimmied,” Harris said.

Emerald Drive is at the end of Warren and Mer-rimac Streets, near the Gilford town line on the east side of the city, and is a different neighborhood than the previously reported burglaries and attempted burglary on Garfield Street.

To date and to the best of the Daily Sun’s knowl-edge, three homes have been robbed on Gale Avenue, two on Mile Hill Road, one on Old Prescott Hill Road, Grant Street, Belknap Street and Edwards Street. A homeowner scared off an apparent burglar late last week on Garfield Street.

With the exception of the Gale Avenue, the rest of the homes have been in the so-called south end of Laconia. Emerald Drive sits atop Pine Hill and is technically part of the Avery Hill-Pine Hill neigh-borhood.

City Police logs indicate stepped-up patrols and more suspicious person reports in the past few days. Two weeks ago, Capt. Bill Clary told Laconia Police Commissioners he was adding a detective to work eve-nings and Lt. Al Lessard reported a series of summer traffic policing grants have allowed the department to boost the number of patrol cars on the street.

Last week, Lt. Matt Canfield said the burglar-ies, that he cannot confirm are all related, usually happen between midnight and 6:30 a.m. He said the warm weather leads people to leave their windows open with fans and air conditioners creating enough background noise to mask the sound of a break-in.

Victims have reported mainly cash but occasion-ally jewelry and other small items have been stolen. Canfield said, to date, people have reported total

LACONIA — When the owners of My Little Coffee House replaced their counter-high, commercial refrigerator last Friday night, the old one was sup-posed to go to a relative.

But when John Morin arrived work at at 5 a.m. yesterday the old one was gone — leaving Morin and co-owner and son Brandon the apparent vic-tims of a refrigerator heist.

The old refrigerator took two men to roll out the back door and the new one took four men to bring down from the delivery truck and install.

“It has to weigh 300 pounds,” said Morin.

From what was left, it appears who-ever took the refrigerator, cut the elec-trical cord (which wasn’t plugged into anything) and removed a small charg-ing unit that help fl ush the refriger-ant when the charge was low.

Morin said the people who stole it

Refrigerator stolen from coffee houseprobably didn’t realize that cutting the charger caused a refrigerator oil leak — a leak that led Morin and sub-sequently the Laconia police to follow the oily footprints to a driveway on nearby Academy Street.

Morin said a patrol offi cer came and took pictures of the footprints and it appears the people who took the big, square box, rolled or pushed it down Academy Street where it was loaded onto some kind of truck.

He said he doesn’t know the value of the old unit, probably no more than a couple of hundred dollars, and specu-lated that it was taken because it is stainless steel with copper tubing.

“I guess it’s probably chopped up into little pieces by now,” Morin said.

If anyone has any information about this or any other crime, please con-tact the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or The Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

gled she had a fan running and it probably gave the burglar “an advan-tage of noise.”

“I’m really lucky and I know it,” Harris said. “I was so terrifi ed. And to think of that slimy, skinny brat in my house.”

Canfi eld said people are urged to lock their doors and windows at night and leave their yards and home lit.

“We’re also asking people to be vigi-lant and report any suspicious activ-ity,” he said.

Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Romney, told The Associated Press in a written statement Tuesday that

Romney “strongly supports tradi-tional marriage,” but that the oath “contained references and provisions that were undignifi ed and inappropri-ate for a presidential campaign.”

pledge reflects his diminished focus on winning Iowa, where he spent $10 million during his 2008 presidential campaign only to finish second.

None of the other GOP presidential hopefuls, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, have said whether they will sign the pledge or not.

Romney, who supported rights for gay couples in Massachusetts, was criticized in Iowa by some Iowa

social conservatives during his 2008 campaign, when he finished second in the caucuses after aggressively courting Christian conservatives.

In his second bid, Romney, who leads in national GOP polls, has cast himself as a national figure more focused on the economy, and has said he would not spend as much time and money campaigning in Iowa as he did during his $10 million effort for the 2008 caucuses.

him for that, because most kids don’t stand up for themselves.”

Maher had been living with Geiser’s father for about three months. New Hampshire state Rep. Gary Hopper was a friend of Maher’s and a guest on political talk show she recently began hosting on public access television. He said Maher told him a day before she died that she and Joseph Geiser were engaged.

Hopper said he didn’t know of any problems between Jacob Geiser and Maher.

“She liked him. She liked him and her sister and she was in love with Joe, and as of Saturday morn-ing was planning on marrying him,” he told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Maher had been in the news last year, when Utah’s House majority leader resigned after admitting he had paid her to keep quiet about being naked in a hot tub with him when she was 15. Republican Kevin Garn told colleagues he paid Maher $150,000 after she began contacting reporters about the incident during his unsuccessful bid for a congressional seat in 2002.

Hopper said Maher had a strong ability to rebound from setbacks.

“I just miss her grit,” he said. “She was just one of those people with a lot of tenacity. You could see when things knocked her off her feet, she got back up swinging.”

Hopper said he was organizing a memorial and tribute to Maher to air instead of Maher’s talk show Friday night.

learned that the law had changed.”Senate Bill 120 quietly repealed the prohibi-

tion against outdoor advertising for Happy Hours, defined by law as periods of time, advertised or not, when beer, wine and liquor are offered at discounted prices. The law read “advertising shall not contain any reference to a ‘happy hour’ except that a ‘happy hour schedule’ may be posted within the licensed premises, not in view of any public way.” The bill simply struck this language altogether and added a sentence permitting licensees to “advertise liquor and beverage prices separately from any other advertisement or promotion.” The bill also deleted the definition of happy hour from the statute.

SB-120 carried the House with 15 dissenting votes and the Senate with only five, all Republi-cans, including Senator Andy Sanborn of Henniker, owner of The Draft, a popular sports bar in Concord, was signed by Governor John Lynch on July 5 and became effective immediately.

“I got it up on my website as soon as I could,” Santagate said, adding that he did not get around

to placing an advertisement for happy hour with The Laconia Daily Sun until yesterday. Prior to the repeal, the New Hampshire Liquor Commission interpreted the statute to also prohibit advertising “happy hours” in print. However, an official of the commission told a representative of the paper that the advertisement could be accepted and printed and forwarding a copy of the amended law.

The Tower Hill Tavern is offering draft beer for $2 and half-price appetizers Mondays through Friday between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. The law requires that food mus be “readily available” when alcoholic bev-erages are advertised or promoted at reduced prices.

The bill provides for a local option, by permitting cities or towns to adopt ordinances forbidding out-door advertising of alcoholic beverages at discounted prices. The prohibition may be temporary and set to expire either on a specified date or when the munici-pality votes to adopt a permanent prohibition.

Santagate said that he was not aware of other local watering holes that have followed his lead. “I hope they do,” he said. “It’s good for all of us.”

CONCORD (AP) — The public New Hampshire Retirement System asked a court Tuesday to block implementation of the part of a new pension reform law dealing with setting employer contribution rates.

The system’s Board of Trustees fi led the suit in Merrimack County Superior Court. It is the second lawsuit fi led aimed at blocking parts of the law from being implemented.

Associate Attorney General Richard Head said he is reviewing the lawsuit and had no comment about it.

At issue is whether the Legislature or the board controls the rates employers pay. The public pen-sion system covers more than 50,000 active and nearly 26,000 retired state and municipal workers, teachers, police and fi refi ghters. Contributions from employers — the state and local governments — and employees plus money earned through investments make up the pension fund.

A coalition of employee groups has a hearing

N.H. retirement system board sues to block part of Legislature’s reform effort

scheduled for Thurs-day on the same rate-setting issue as well as on another section of the law that raises employee contribution rates.

The system’s board argues the Legislature is violating the consti-tution by requiring it to recertify employer rates. It points to a clause in the constitu-tion adopted by voters in 1984 to protect the pen-sion fund from raids by lawmakers. The board argues the clause gives it the fi duciary respon-sibility to set employer rates independently.

The board voted in June to move ahead with $50 million in higher annual rates for employers on top of already planned rate increases. The Legisla-ture voted to block the board and stick with the planned rate increases.

The board argues in its lawsuit that its decision is based on the latest actuarial eco-nomic and demographic assumptions.

“The difference is not trivial, but substantial: It translates directly into an expected annual decrease in employer contributions equal to approximately 2 percent of the entire member-ship payroll. In dollar terms, the difference is equal to approximately $100 million,” the board said in its suit.

The board said if the

Legislature prevails and lower rates are in place, employer rates will have to be increased for fi scal years 2014 and 2015 and beyond to make up for the reduced employer contributions and any decrease in the plan’s funding. The fund is about 58 percent funded with a $3.7 billion unfunded liability in the pension fund and almost a $1 billion unfunded lia-bility in its health insurance subsidy.

The Legislature included pension reform provi-sions in the budget package enacted last month that — among other things — increase the contribution rate for employees. The employees’ higher contri-butions are intended to replace a subsidy the state paid to communities to cover part of their work-ers’ retirement costs. Employee groups are suing to block implementation of that increase.

Lawmakers said the goal was to prevent spikes in local property taxes to pay rising retirement costs. The state also saved money under the new law by no

longer subsidizing communities.Employee groups and the board argue actions by

the Legislature nearly 20 years ago contributed to the fund’s problems. Employee contributions have been fi xed, but employer rates were set artifi cially low from 1992 through 2009, the board’s lawsuit said.

The board isn’t taking a position on the employee groups’ lawsuit, but noted in Tuesday’s court fi ling that the outcome could affect its lawsuit.

The new law also changes the composition of the board to shift control away from employee groups. Republican legislative leaders are urging Demo-cratic Gov. John Lynch and the Executive Coun-cil to appoint members to the restructured board as quickly as possible to prevent the board from moving ahead with the higher rates. Lynch plans to nominate some members at Wednesday’s council meeting.

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern Cali-fornia woman was in custody Tuesday after authori-ties said she drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed, cut off his penis and put it through a garbage disposal.

Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said that Catherine Kieu Becker drugged a meal and served it to the victim, whose name was not released, shortly before the attack Monday night.

Nightengale said the 51-year-old man felt sick, went to lie down and lost consciousness. The 48-year-old Becker then tied the victim’s arms and legs to the bed with rope, removed his clothes and attacked him with a 10-inch kitchen knife as he awoke, Nightengale said.

“He was conscious when his penis was removed,” Nightengale said.

Nightengale said Becker put the penis in the gar-bage disposal and turned it on.

Nightengale said Becker called 911 and indicated to arriving officers that the victim was in the next room. Paramedics found him tied to the bed, bleed-

Bail for Becker was set at $1 million after she was booked at the Orange County Jail for investigation of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.

The victim underwent surgery and was in serious condition at the University of California at Irvine Medical Center in Orange. Nightengale said the man is expected to survive.

A call to a hospital spokeswoman was not imme-diately returned.

Becker was taken into custody without incident, although she would not talk to officers, Nightengale said.

Becker is due in court Wednesday. A telephone listing for her residence could not be located and no one was home in the apartment.

Neighbor Lourdes Painter told The Associated Press the couple had been married since December, did not have any children and seemed very quiet.

PHOENIX (AP) — Pitching, speed and a little bit of power. The National League is back on top in the All-Star game, using the same formula that worked during its dominating run in the 1970s and ‘80s.

Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer and Roy Halladay and his relief combined on a six-hitter to lead the NL over the AL 5-1 Tuesday night, giving the senior circuit its first two-game winning streak since the mid-1990s.

The victory handed the NL home-field advantage in the World Series. With several big names as no-shows at Chase Field, the AL lost more than the game.

Boston right-hander Josh Beckett warmed up, then bowed out with a sore knee. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera left after hurting his side.

Even before they were hurt, many stars were missing. Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez and many other aces started Sunday and were ineligi-ble, Chipper Jones and Alex Rodriguez were among those on the disabled list and Derek Jeter wanted a

Fielder homer propels NL to 5-1 All-Star game break. In all, 16 of 84 All-Stars were dropped.

Tyler Clippard got the win despite allowing a single to Adrian Beltre, his only batter. Relievers Clayton Kershaw, Jair Jurrjens, Craig Kimbrel, Jonny Venters, Heath Bell, Joel Hanrahan and Brian Wilson combined to keep the NL ahead.

Fielder won the MVP award after becoming the first Brewers player to homer in an All-Star game. The World Series edge could help him later, with Milwaukee and St. Louis tied for the Central lead at the break.

The NL dashed around the bases and stole three bags, all in one inning. Bell showed some speed, too — the reliever ran in from the bullpen and tore up the turf with a slide just short of the mound.

In all, the Nationals have enjoyed their best run since taking three in a row from 1994-96 — they had lost 12 straight games played to a decision before a 3-1 victory at Anaheim last year.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A handyman is accused of using a Catholic priest’s own gun to kill him at a beachfront house in Mississippi, then taking his ex-wife and kids on a Disney World vaca-tion in the dead cleric’s car, authorities said. They had bought three-day passes to the theme park and were preparing to make an early start Tuesday when the suspect was arrested.

Jeremy Wayne Manieri was taken into custody without incident about 6 a.m. at a hotel in Polk County, Fla., after police tracked the priest’s stolen car using its anti-theft device, Mississippi Depart-ment of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kalahar said. Manieri will be charged with murder once he’s brought back to Waveland, Miss.

Police said the man’s ex-wife did not know the car was stolen or how her husband got it and she was not expected to face charges.

The Rev. Edward E. Everitt, 70, had gone to the Waveland house as part of his typical routine after Sunday Mass, a colleague said. The house is owned by several priests who use it as a weekend retreat, and Manieri did odd jobs for them.

Police believe the handyman had intended to rob Ever-itt. The priest’s body was found by a caretaker Monday.

“When she entered she found the man on the couch in the front room and he was bleeding from the mouth so she backed out and called the police,” Waveland Police Chief James Varnell said.

After the killing, Manieri took the priest’s silver Chevy HHR, picked up his ex-wife and kids and headed for a motel in in Mobile, Ala., said Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Fla. They drove to a Days Inn in Polk County on Monday evening and bought Disney passes with the priest’s cash, Judd

said. Manieri had his ex-wife, his 10-year-old step-son and his 5-year-old daughter with him when he was arrested.

Manieri was walking out of room 209 to have a cigarette when the police assault team descended on him. Judd said Everitt’s .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol was found in the stolen car by Polk County deputies. Deputies also found a wallet in the hotel room and said that the suspect allegedly thought he had cleaned it out, but there was a card with the priest’s name on it inside.

“He left a trail of evidence that a blind man could have followed,” Judd said.

Authorities did not know whether Manieri has an attorney. He’s being held on auto theft warrant from Escambia County, Fla.

The 31-year-old is a registered sex offender with a long criminal record, including a 2006 conviction on the charge of touching a child or a mentally defec-tive, incapacitated or physically helpless person for lustful purposes, according to the Mississippi’s sex offender registry.

Everitt was a pastor at Holy Ghost Church in Ham-mond, La., and Our Lady of Pompeii Church in nearby Tickfaw. The church is a member of the Dominican Order and also operates a school in the community about 50 miles northwest of New Orleans.

Father David Caron, the vicar provincial for the Dominican Order in the South, said Sunday was Everitt’s day off and he typically went there on Sun-days. Everitt, a native of Houston, has been with the order since 1962 and a priest since 1968.

Garden tour to be hosted by Bear Camp Valley Garden ClubTAMWORTH — The Bear Camp Valley Garden

Club will host a tour of “Four Hidden Gardens” from 1 — 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 16.

Participants will discover the many pleasures of creat-ing, maintaining, and enjoying their own secret garden by visiting a quartet of gardens fi lled with riotous colors and peaceful sanctuaries fi lled with pleasing vistas.

The Woodland Garden overlooks a beaver marsh, where participants will enjoy a woodland pond constructed inside an old cellar hole. The garden features a collection of shade plants and a re-circu-lating stream. Sunny perennial beds attract birds and butterfl ies. Close to another pond, blueberry and raspberry bushes fl ourish.

The Japanese Garden includes fl owers, herbs, and vegetables entwined to create an eclectic mix sur-rounding a lovely historic home. Visitors will dis-cover the Japanese Garden hidden behind a bamboo fence complete with pond and authentic tea house.

The Natural Garden is set on three acres of lawns

and fi elds fi lled with trees and shrubs stretching along a rambling river. The magical sounds of the water complement the gardens. Varied annuals and perennials are blended with natural hardscape rock outcropping to create a visual treat.

The Hardscrabble Garden is on a working farm situ-ated along a meandering river. The terrain is unforgiv-ing; the owners determined; and the results amazing. This farm garden is situated on soil dotted with rocks and boulders left by glaciers. Enhanced topsoil helps the gardens thrive. Raspberries, strawberries, grapes, pears, and peaches are harvested on the farm.

Tickets are $10 and available at The Other Store, Tamworth Village, North Sandwich Store, Bayswa-ter Bookstore, Center Harbor, Spider Web Gardens, Tuftonboro, and Sandwich Home Industries. Funds raised will support scholarships for students study-ing horticulture.

For more information, call 539-4651 or 279-5065.

Two special summer concerts to raise funds for restoration work at Castle in the Clouds July 15 & 29

MOULTONBOROUGH — Talented young musi-cians studying at the Heifetz International Music Institute in Wolfeboro will perform in concert at Castle in the Clouds to raise funds for restoration work. The concerts will take place at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 15 and 29.

Offering events like the Heifetz concerts and other special programs at the Castle is just one way the Castle Preservation Society has to bring in needed funds.

In 2011, the Society received a matching grant from the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation to cover costs of restoring the rotting basement window and door frames underneath the Lucknow mansion’s sun porch. If the deterioration were allowed to continue, it would compromise the stone façade on the east end of the 1914 Arts & Crafts mansion of shoe man-ufacturer Thomas Plant.

When fundraising began for the next project in the multi-year restoration of the Castle estate, the Samuel P. Hunt Foundation came through with another grant — to be used towards the restora-tion of the lower gate house, the fi rst glimpse of the Castle from the main gate, giving visitors a preview of the architecture that will be seen on the mountain top above. Although donations from 158 individuals have been received, much more needs to be raised to complete this project.

The July 15 Heifetz concert will be followed by a brief reception. A $20 donation to the Castle Resto-ration Fund is requested for this event.

Walks and Talks will continue at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 18 as Chris Mattrick, a white Moun-tain National Forest botanist, brings more insight to the hot topic of invasive species during a walk on Castle property. He will identify non-native inva-sives and give ideas on how we all can contain them. The walk will leave from the Carriage House and is free with a grounds pass.

On Tuesday, July 19, a new music night at the Carriage House will kick off with Chad Porter. This new musical evening, featuring contempo-rary music, will be simi-lar to Jazz at Sunset on Thursday nights, recently named “best jazz venue” in the state by New Hampshire Magazine. A tapas-style menu and a full range of drinks will be available from 5:30 — 8:30 p.m.

The Castle is open daily from 10 a.m. — 4:30 p.m. For further information on admis-sions and other events, visit www.castleinthe-clouds.org. To make reservations for special events, call 476-5900.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are so creative now because you are not afraid to look foolish. You will experi-ment and investigate. You will go where most adults wouldn’t think to go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are complex. Simplistic black-and-white notions don’t apply to you and could actually cause psychological pain. So make an effort to see all the shades of gray. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your list of abilities is quite long, and it’s about to get longer. Effortless learning is your specialty now. You’re a sponge, picking up new skills by simply being near the people who possess them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re headed toward sudden and acute disil-lusionment. This is quite positive, as it will bring you to what’s real and make you more powerful than ever. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your dis-cretion will be needed, and it won’t be entirely clear how much you should say. Telling the truth is never the wrong thing to do. But you won’t be a liar if you keep your mouth shut. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You always have a choice about how curi-ous to be, and you usually choose to be absolutely fascinated. You recognize boredom as a state of mind that cannot be imposed on you by anything outside of yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Instead of dreaming impossible dreams, you focus closer to real life. You imagine what you can do to make the best of your time today, and you fully engage in life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will consider making a big change. Think it over for a long while. And you

don’t have to tell anyone what you’re thinking, either. You are entitled to your thought processes and are not obli-gated to share them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People look out for their own needs. You’ll try to understand the wants and needs of those around you so that you may anticipate what is likely to happen next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Having to be absolutely right all the time is a punishing imposition. It only leads to feeling like you are usually wrong. That’s why you refuse to worry about it. You know what you know, and you do your best with that. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to move a mountain, and move it you will. It will happen little by little. Commit to one simple action. Other changes will happen naturally as the world adjusts to accommodate your action. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be drawn to esoteric pursuits, the likes of which could be considered “frivolous nonsense” by some stan-dards. You know better. Your “frivolous nonsense” will be life enhancing in some practical way. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). You’ll pursue higher education and develop your keen mind. You have an excellent memory for names and faces and will use it to further political and professional interests. Financial barri-ers drop in September. November high-lights relationships. New business in December is both challenging and ful-fi lling. Leo and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 18, 19, 16 and 37.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I am 16 and regularly baby-sit for a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister. Both kids are very sweet, although the boy has some minor behavior issues. I have ad-dressed them and made it clear that they will not be tolerated while I’m babysitting. The problem is their father. He calls the boy “a little devil” and tells him he is “too feminine and babyish,” since he carries a blanket around and plays with his sister’s dolls. But he’s only 2! Am I overstepping if I discuss this with him or the mother? I don’t want to lose this job, be-cause I love the kids. -- Auburn, Mass. Dear Auburn: Not all parents have an enlightened attitude about child-rearing, and some mistakenly confuse belittling with good parenting. Most parents do not appreciate parent-ing pointers from a teenager. However, you are in a position to counteract some of Dad’s comments by giving positive feedback to those children when they are in your care. If the situation gets worse, you might speak to the mother about your concerns. Dear Annie: This is a cautionary tale. I was seeing a psy-chotherapist (let’s call him “Tim”) to overcome a bad phase -- I was in a loveless marriage and became involved with a womanizer. During therapy, I fell in love with Tim, a married man who occasionally badmouthed his wife in front of me. Tim told me he could not ethically date anyone until two years after her last appointment. The fact that he was married didn’t seem to matter. Because I loved him, I stopped treat-ment so the two-year waiting period could begin. We grew closer, but were not intimate. I felt sorry for his wife because she was suffering from a grave illness and had undergone surgery. I actually told him to treat her better. Many months later, Tim’s wife divorced him. He’d been unfaithful with three other women, one of whom was the mother of a child he was counseling. I feel like such a fool.

I was heartbroken to realize that my trusted counselor was himself a womanizer. We are, of course, no longer in touch. I just want to let your readers know these things happen. -- No Name, No City in USA Dear No Name: Every profession has its bad apples. Most therapists are ethical and upstanding, and it is not uncommon for individuals to fall in love (“transference”) during treat-ment. But it is unconscionable for a therapist to take advan-tage of a client who is already in a vulnerable state. If Tim hasn’t been reported to his local licensing board or the Ameri-can Psychotherapy Association, he should be. Dear Annie: I have been reading with interest the letters you’ve printed on bullying. I would like to point out that bul-lying is not exclusively a “school” or “children” thing. I retired 10 years ago and joined a very old and respected craft guild. Several of the members were bullies. I enjoyed the meetings, but after a time, these women made the meetings quite uncomfortable. One woman in particular would block my way and ambush me in the bathroom. Another woman ridiculed me publicly for doing certain charity work. I tried talking to the president of the guild about the behav-ior and was laughed off, saying it was just a personality con-fl ict. Other members noticed the bullying, and several quit. I tried ignoring it, but after several years, it was clear that the behavior was simply intensifying, and I, too, left the guild. I since have joined another guild, which is no-nonsense and would not tolerate bullying activity. The contrast is dramatic. I miss some of the friends from the former guild, but am hap-py to be free to attend meetings without the stress. -- Happier Now Dear Happier: Bullying can happen in nearly all social con-texts, including at one’s place of employment and in commu-nity groups. Fortunately, you had the option to leave.

Free previews will be held from 12 — 5 p.m. on Friday, July 15 and from 8 — 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, just prior to the auction.

GCC Thrift Shop needs quality donations for huge July 16 yard sale

GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Community Church Pantry and Thrift Shop we will be having a huge yard sale on Saturday, July 16. Volunteers have begun to collect items for the sale. We ask that you contact Beth at 267-1934, Sharon at 267-5934, Phyllis at 364-9231 or Jane at 364-7437 if you

have items you wish to donate. Please do not leave items at the Thrift Shop or the church. The staff is being selective in the things taken in as they do not have room to store unsold items and the Thrift Shop cannot afford to pay to take them to the dump.

If you would like to make a donation to the Thrift Shop or to the Food Pantry, you are asked to drop off your donations during our regular business hours. The Thrift Shop accepts clothing and wear-able accessories only and we ask that your items be clean and in good, wearable condi-tion. We accept non-perishable food items for our pantry during business hours as well. If you wish to make a monetary donation you can mail it to GCC Food Pantry and Thrift Shop, PO Box 6, Gilmanton IW, NH 03837.

We are located on RT 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works, across from the Iron Works Market. We are open on Monday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Wednesday from 3 – 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Park-ing is located in the Gilmanton Community Church parking lot next door.
