The Romneys in Wolfeboro A Fourth of July Assignment

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

In August of 2011, the editorial staff at The Weirs Times was privileged to be the first newspaper in the country to sit down for an interview with Governor Mitt Romney as he kicked off his campaign to be the Republican candidate for President. With the nomination now locked up and his Presidential campaign in full swing, I was asked by the Romney campaign if I would like to be part of the press pool in covering the Governor’s participation in Wolfeboro’s famous Fourth of July parade. I jumped at the chance. Cover-

ing the people and places and history of New Hampshire has always been The Weirs Times’ mission and being able to do a story on Wolfeboro, and New Hampshire’s, most well-known resident, a man who just might get the opportunity to influence our country’s history, appeared to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There I was on a flatbed truck, riding with reporters and cameramen from the Associated Press, the New York Times and NBC News, to name a few. These folks, I had assumed from some conversation, had been following the Romney campaign and, to them, See romney on 12 it was an-

Poll, Picks, Presidents â&#x20AC;Ś and Jimmy the Greek Back in 1979 I wrote a sports column for the Coos County Democrat c al l e d â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up and Down the River.â&#x20AC;? Occasionally, I made predictions, to establish my bona fides and assert my sports credibility. Before that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFL season began, I predicted who would win all the divisions. Included was a guess that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would finish first. This drew derision, as the Bucs were hapless. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only played three seasons and had lost the first 26 games of their first two campaigns. But the Bucs came through, and as the season wound down it looked like all my picks would hit. I figured Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be the only columnist in the country to pick all the division winners, due largely to Tampa Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising showing. And more than just brag about my gridiron acumen, I thought I could parlay my amazing knowledge into becoming a Las Vegas prognosticator so people could pay me big bucks for my exclusive football picks. Unfortunately, San Diego edged out my pick of Denver for the AFC West title, denying me imagined glory. Just as well. I was teaching at a public high school, and the superintendent probably would have looked askance at a Las Vegas picks column. Anyway, there will always be a demand for people who have a sense of future trends - the

Now while I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have $10,000 to put on Romney, I will offer a fearless and detailed July 12 th forecast as to the November 6th election result. ROMNEY WINS! You want specifics? OK.

Nostradamus Syndrome, if you will. Successful Wall Street forecasters get fabulously rich and buy second homes on Lake Winnipesaukee, right? The late â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy the Greekâ&#x20AC;? Snyder became wealthy and famous because he supposedly had a gift for selecting football winners. CBS-TV Sports gave him a job with the NFL Today from 1976-88 where his job as an analyst was to pick winners, and millions of fans paid him close attention while The Greek made millions of dollars. Sadly for The Greek, Snyder was fired by CBS in 1988 after he made some controversial remarks about why blacks were naturally superior athletes. But interestingly, The Greek first became famous not due to a sports prediction but a political one. Before the 1948 presidential election, Snyder got 17:1 odds on a $10,000 bet that President Truman would be reelected. Like my Tampa Bay pick, Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of Truman was ridiculed. The popularity of our 33rd president, a Democrat, was at a record low and all the smart money was on New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican Governor, Thomas Dewey. Snyder used sophisticated logic in picking Truman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dewey has a mustache,â&#x20AC;? explained The Greek, whose real name was Dimetrios Georgios Synodinos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust men with mustaches.â&#x20AC;? Truman did, in fact, beat Dewey, and The Greek became rich and famous. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my turn. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another presidential election year, and the current conventional wisdom has incumbent President Barack Obama triumphing over Republican challenger Mitt Rom-

Global Warming Blameologists Play with Fire

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo .

Independence Day 2012 PURCELLVILLE, Va. -As is our custom, millions of Americans celebrated Independence Day this year with family, friends and neighbors. Here by Oliver North in Purcellville, Syndicated Columnist there was an old-fashioned parade down Main Street, followed by a barbecue, a church service to pray for our nation -- and fireworks. For many here in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, it was also day five without electricity -- and very hot. The hardships caused by last week’s powerful storms and power outages are real. More than a dozen of our countrymen have died. The oppressive tem-

peratures remind me that nearly halfway around the world, tens of thousands of young Americans are experiencing heat and fireworks of a different kind -- where our country’s enemies are trying to kill them. Afghanistan isn’t the only place with a summer “fighting season.” It turns out that patriotic young Americans have spent many Independence Days fighting for “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” ever since 56 of our Founding Fathers signed “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America” in Philadelphia 236 years ago. Independence Day 1814 saw one of the few American victories in the War of 1812, at Fort Erie in Canada. The fort was returned to the British in November that year, shortly before the end of the war. See north on 19

-- Good news: The Waldo Canyon fire, which forced 32,000 residents (including our family) to flee, by Michelle Malkin claimed two Syndicated Columnist lives and destroyed 347 homes, is now 100 percent contained. Bad news: Radical environmentalists won’t stop blowing hot air about this year’s infernal season across the West. Al Gore slithered out of the political morgue to bemoan nationwide heat records and pimp his new “Climate Reality Project,” which blames global warming for the wildfire outbreak. NBC meteorologist Doug Kammerer asserted: “If we did not have global warming, we wouldn’t see this.” Agriculture Department Undersecretary Harris Sherman, who oversees the Forest Service, claimed to the Washington Post: “The climate is changing, and these fires are a very strong indicator of that.” And the Associated Press (or rather, the Activist Press) lit the fear-mongering torch with an eco-propaganda piece titled “U.S. summer is what ‘global warming will look like.’” The problem is that the actual conclusions of scientists included in AP’s screed don’t back up the apocalyptic headline. As the reporter acknowledges under that panicky banner: “Scientifically linking individual weather events to climate change takes intensive study, complicated mathematics, computer models and lots of time. Sometimes it isn’t caused by global warming.

Weather is always variable; freak things happen.” So, this U.S. summer may or may not really look like “what global warming looks like.” Kinda. Sorta. Possibly. Possibly not. Furthermore, the AP reporter concedes, the “global” nature of the warming and its supposed catastrophic events have “been local. Europe, Asia and Africa aren’t having similar disasters now, although they’ve had their own extreme events in recent years.” A more hedging headline would have been journalistically responsible, but Chicken Little-ism better serves the global warming blame-ologists’ agenda. More inconvenient truths: As The Washington Times noted this week, the National Climatic Data Center shows that “Colorado has actually seen its average temperature drop slightly from 1998 to 2011, when data is collected only from rural stations and not those that have been urbanized since 1900.” Radical green efforts to block logging and timber sales in national forests since the 1990s are the real culprits. Wildlife mitigation experts point to incompetent forest management and militant opposition to thinning the timber fuel supply. Another symptom of green obstructionism: widespread bark beetle infestations. The U.S. Forest Service itself reported last year: “During the last part of the 20th century, widespread treatments in lodgepole pine stands that would have created age class diversity, enhanced the vigor of remaining trees, and improved stand resiliency to drought or insect attack -- such as timber harvest and thinning -- lacked

The “Taliban” of Timbuktu warned “Such attacks against cultural heritage sites are totally unjustified.” But beyond the cultural damages, the political fallout from the widening crisis has seen over 320,000 people flee their homes since the military coup de etat in March. Now the north of Mali, the size of France, could host a radical Islamic Emirate. Following the disarray of the central government, both Tuareg

rebels and Islamic jihadi warriors briefly joined forces. Most Tuareg sought an independent but secular state. Yet the Al-Qaida linked Ansar Dine movement stress radical Islam. This group has imposed Islamic Sharria Law and calls ancient Muslim shrines sacrilegious. Prof Abdelmajid Charfi, a Tunisian scholar, warns that “In Mali Ansar Dine is under the direct

Teaching Economics Having taught economics at a number of colleges for a number of years, I especially welcomed a feature article in the June 22nd issue of The by Thomas Sowell Chronicle of Syndicated Columnist Higher Education, on how economics courses with the same name can be very different at different colleges. It can also be very different when the course is taught by professors in the same department who have different approaches. The usefulness of the three approaches described in the article depends on what the introductory course is trying to accomplish. One professor taught the subject through a steady diet of mathematical models. If the introductory economics course is aimed at those students who are going to major in economics, then that may make some sense. But most students in most introductory economics courses are not going to become economics majors, much less professional economists. Among those students for whom a one-year introductory course is likely to be their only exposure to economics, mathematical models that they will probably never use in later life, as they try to understand economic activities and policies in the real world, may be of very limited value to them, if any value at all.

If the purpose of the introductory course is to serve as a recruiting source for economics majors, that serves the interest of the economics department, not the students. It may also serve the interests of the professor, because teaching in the fashion familiar in his own research and scholarship is a lot easier than trying to recast economics in terms more accessible to students who are studying the subject for the first time. Having written two textbooks on introductory economics -one full of graphs and equations, and the other with neither -- I know from experience that the second way is a lot harder to write, and is more time-consuming. The first book was written in a year; the second took a decade. The first book quickly went out of print. The second book (“Basic Economics”) has gone through 4 editions and has been translated into 6 foreign languages. Both books taught the same principles, but obviously one approach did so more successfully than the other. The same applies in the classroom. The opposite extreme from teaching economics with mathematical models was described by a professor who uses an approach she characterized as democratizing the classroom, “so that everybody is a co-teacher and co-learner.” This has sometimes been called “discovery learning,” where the students discover the underlying principles for themselves while groping their way through problems. Unfortunately, discovery can See Sowell on 30

ies returned to their homelands. Though the Tuareg who live in many of the surrounding countries were historically marginalized and mistreated in Mali, now they have returned with vengeance, weapons stockpiles and a cause. Beyond the cultural and religious desecration by the Abu Dine movement, what’s transpiring in Mali under the political radar is the creation of a radical Islamic emirate similar to the Taliban rule in Afghanistan before 2001. Few are watching as the patrimony of an ancient desert kingdom is being desecrated and destroyed. Irina Bokova, Director of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) stated her dismay over the destruction of three sacred tombs which are part of the World Heritage List. “Reports that Mausoleums have been destroyed is extremely distressing,” she warned, “there is no justification for such wanton destruction.” “It’s paradoxical and incomprehensible” Prof. Jean-Michel Djian quoted in Le Figaro, “If they do it is because they have no culture, its a form of gratuitous violence,” where a movement wishes to destroy such significant historic monuments. According to Paris-based UNESCO, Timbuktu was an intellectual and spiritual center as early as the 15th and 16th centuries as well as a hub of the trans-Saharan trade. Many of the buildings are of a unique style of adobe type pyramids, dating from the 1490’s. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon

UNITED NATIONS—The name Timbuktu conjures up mystery and the magic of a far off place seemingly untouched by by John J. Metzler modernity, lest Syndicated Columnist alone violence. But the ancient city of Timbuktu, lost in the remote reaches of the Sahara has sadly been thrust into the headlines as an Islamic fundamentalist group has been destroying historic and religious sites to the shock of the world. Ironically these sites include Muslim tombs and mosques which are part of another sect of Islam. Long the crossroads of caravan trade commerce and religious learning dating to the 13th century, Timbuktu sits on the parched edge of the Sahara and West Africa. Part of the landlocked state of Mali, Timbuktu has been a center of lore and legend since French explorers put the place into contemporary consciousness. Given that Mali is victim of ethnic and religious violence, the northern part of the country has fallen under the control of a number of separatist and Islamic factions who not only oppose the central government in far off Bamako, but have tried to establish an independent state Azawad. Mali’s recent troubles are rooted in the disintegration of Libya; many of the Tuareg tribesmen who served Gaddafi as mercenar-

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weirs Times and Touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1902. One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its

To The Editor: Operation Fast and Furious was a Federal government operation in which Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agents instructed US gun dealers to sell guns to straw men who then sold the guns to Mexican drug cartels. The stated goal was to track the guns to be able to take down high profile Mexican drug cartels. However in many cases no tracking devices were even put on the guns. The result was that over 2500 US guns were lost track of and ended up in the hands of violent Mexican drug cartels which resulted in the deaths of over 300 Mexicans as well as US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The Mexican government had no knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious. Obama supporters may point out

that from 2006-2007 the Justice Department under George W. Bush ran a gun-walking program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wide Receiverâ&#x20AC;? where guns were also sold to Mexican cartels. However several major differences exist between the two programs. During Wide Receiver, GPS devices were placed on all guns in an attempt to setup sting operations on Mexican cartels. Wide Receiver had the full cooperation of the Mexican government. When Mexican drug-lords figured out how to disable the tracking devices to result in about 250 guns being lost track of the program was immediately discontinued. William Newell of the ATF vowed that such a botched program would happen â&#x20AC;&#x153;never again.â&#x20AC;? How could the Federal government under Obama be so incompetent when they had glaring evidence of how this type of gun-walking operation would be a dismal failure? While Operation Wide Receiver truly was a botched sting operation quite the contrary is true for Operation Fast and Furious. I believe Fast and Furious was a deliberate attempt to hype the supposed dangers of gun sales and push public opinion into renewing Bill Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assaultweapons ban and other gun-control measures. This is even more apparent when you consider the radical ideology of both Attorney General Eric Holder and that of President Obama. First, See mailboat on 27

Article 10 To The Editor: New Hampshire had it right when in June 2, 1774, this state ratified its constitution which included Article 10 â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Right of Revolution.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.â&#x20AC;? Two years later, July 4, 1776, some of these exact same words appear in the second paragraph of our Declaration of Independence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.â&#x20AC;? In the New Hampshire version we have not only the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;? but also the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;ought,â&#x20AC;?which means in New Hampshire we not only have the right, we also have the obligation to remove those elected persons that work against the interest â&#x20AC;&#x153;of the People.â&#x20AC;? No other state has the equivalent of our Article 10. We should apply article 10 to the Obama Health Care Bill. President Barack Obama and all of the Democrats elected to congress committed a large and expensive fraud on the American people when they passed an enormous tax bill called Obamacare. They tried to pass it as a MANDATE under the InSee scott on 25

******** Last Friday when I made my morning stop at the Drudge Report, one story got my attention immediately; from www.thehollywoodreporter.com â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brad Pittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother Pens AntiGay, Anti-Obama Letter to Local Newspaperâ&#x20AC;?. The report begins with reference to an opinion letter from another writer in The Springfield (Missouri) News-Leader. That writer was â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the newspaper justifying Christiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights to refuse to vote for Romney because he is a Mormonâ&#x20AC;?. Jane Pitt is not a Mormon and differs, as many do, with the Mormon religion. THR continues to quote Jane Pitt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.â&#x20AC;? AND, â&#x20AC;&#x153;any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a

strengthen Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation infrastructure, including worthy projects like widening I-93. But this bill was yet another â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;buy now, pay laterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scheme that fails to fundamentally reform how we pay for highway projects, that kind of reckless borrowing is what has brought us to the brink of a fiscal crisis. We need a highway bill that addresses justifiable needs within our transportation system without continuing our country on a path to bankruptcy.â&#x20AC;? And then this comment from John Mercier: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Niel Young... The problem is that she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in our district; we have Shaheen and Guinta.â&#x20AC;? RESPONDING: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years John Mercier I have tried to avoid unkind confrontations with you. In your effort to poke fun at me, you showed that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about your state! Shaheen, and Guinta?

G O O D NEWS: I had appointments with TWO of my doctors last Thursday. Everything looks good by Niel Young Advocates Columnist for another year. That is bad news for the Liberals. BAD NEWS: In addition to my good health, the bad news is, that while waiting with other patients for an hour, my wife Betty tells me the topic was Barack Hussein Obama. ALL in the room fear him for a second term, and all are voting him out! Now remember, I was not in the room, so no influence from me. ******** With inspiration from NH Union Leader: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sen. Kelly Ayotte confirmed on Friday what her previous actions had suggested: She is the most fiscally conservative member of New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional delegation and the one most concerned about runaway federal spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sen. Jeanne Shaheen predictably voted for the $120 billion federal highway bill, and she was joined on the House side by Reps. Charlie Bass and Frank Guinta. Ayotte, though, was one of only 19 senators to vote no.â&#x20AC;? Oh, heck, a $120 Billion here, and a $120 Billion there. Geez, you would think they are talking about real money! Kelly is a gem for NH. I am reminded of how 34% of highway taxes in NH has nothing to do with highway construction; that goes to the State Police budget. I am also reminded of the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;stimulusâ&#x20AC;?, and the second, how did that work out?

saw it as being part of New Hampshire history. It was apparent that Romney was putting Wolfeboro, Lake Winnipesaukee and New Hampshire on the map. There was a buzz before the parade and it blossomed into what, some who have been to the Wolfeboro Fourth of July Parade before say, was the biggest crowd in years. Of course, the weather was beautiful and it was a perfect day for a parade, but one can’t discount the effect that Romney’s presence had on the size of the crowd. I heard that there were claims that the Romney camp had bussed in hundreds of people to watch

the parade. It seems those kinds of stories always pop up when a candidate makes a campaign stop. I’d have to say, after having had the opportunity to survey the entire crowd along the parade route, that seemed far fetched. Sure, there were a couple of small organized groups for, and against, the Governor, that’s politics, everyone does it. But overall, the majority of supporters who were there appeared, to me, to be just average people who made the trip to watch the parade, show their support and maybe get a chance to shake hands with the candidate.

them were a large group of Romney supporters on hand to get the crowd motivated. After a while, since we were the last ones in the parade, we finally turned onto the main street and, I must admit, it was a bit exhilarating. This was going to be fun. Then my respect for the media was overshadowed

by the candidate himself as we were out on the main parade route. It ran about a mile and a half and ended up on front of the Brewster Academy Field. The parade ran for about an hour and a half, I was hot and sweaty about halfway through, and I was just standing there, keeping my balance as the flatbed lurched forward; I

couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine how the governor felt as he walked the entire route. Along the way he made the effort to shake as many hands, and pose for as many pictures as possible, quickly jogging from one side of the street to the other along the entire route. That would have been more than a workout for me. Watching the governor on this mini-marathon, keep-

of President Obama’s supporters along the route. He stopped to shake their hands and share a few words as well. Later, in his brief speech at Brewster Academy field, he made mention how polite and civil everyone was and how some from the other camp even wished him good luck and a Happy Fourth of July. I’d have to say that Romney was the hardest working man in Wolfeboro that day. The parade route finishes with a hearty incline. It was, as noted, a beautiful day, still the sun was relentless and the

Born March 25,1961 to parents of Pacific island descent Matt likes to refer to himself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pacific Island Muttâ&#x20AC;?.

July 28th â&#x20AC;&#x153;Las Vegas and The Rat Packâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x153;This show harkens back to the old Las Vegas with the famous â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Rat Packâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, (Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, etcâ&#x20AC;Ś) in addition to Fifties and Sixties music by Sinatra and Louis Primaâ&#x20AC;?. Anita Hall will be our guest artist. Ms. Hall has performed in Hawaii and currently resides in Indianapolis.

Mr. Catingub is currently the Pops Director for the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra and a member of the Glendale Pops Orchestra. Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music was heard in the Oscar winning film A Beautiful Mind. And, Matt appeared in, and scored the soundtrack to, the Oscar-nominated George Clooney film â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodnight, And Good Luck.â&#x20AC;? The film features Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrangements and saxes, as well as on-screen appearances. The CD of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soundtrack won a Grammy in 2005!

exempting their citizens from portions of the bill. House Speaker Pelosi said “you’ll have to pass the bill to know what is in it.” Did our Senator Jeanne Shaheen read this terrible 2800 page bill. She followed a President who lied saying “No one earning less then $250k will have their TAXES raised one dime”. Not true. In addition to increased costs Obamacare has stifling bureaucratic knots, unreadable language, and puts us subservient to unelected public administrators. Pull up the bill on line and you wont believe what has been included in Obamacare. Our laws are made by those we elect and we have a separation of powers. We cannot expect the Supreme Court to come to our rescue, if we send incompetent people to Washington who don’t bother to read the bills. The solution to this problem is repeal. To do this we must encourage friends and neighbors to vote this November. Let’s follow our Article 10 and realize we not only have the right but also the OBLIGATION to throw the bums out.

terstate Commerce Clause. Fortunately the US Supreme Court ruled that the Obamacare MANDATE, the requirement by the Federal Government that you purchase a product, is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also ruled that Obamacare is a TAX Bill. Congress has the authority to pass tax bills. If both Houses of Congress pass a tax bill and it is signed by the president it becomes law. That’s how our system works, regardless of whether it has been misrepresented by President Obama and elected Democrats. Next year this Tax Bill will result in a substantial increase in the cost of health care to almost every citizen. It will carry with it unimaginable bureaucratic nightmares because unelected bureaucrats, rather than you and your doctor will be in charge of your health care decisions. In addition this bill is likely to discourage qualified students from going into the medical profession, and will ruin the best health care system in the world. This stealth tax bill was passed by the Senate only after two Democrat Senators, (Louisiana and Nebraska) were bribed by

Summer Arts Celebrates 39 Years of Creativity

This year marks the 39th Season of creativity at the Frates Creative Arts Center with Studio Art Classes for children, teens, and adults, Magic Classes for children and teens, as well as the Lakes Region’s original Children’s Theater Workshop. Registration is now open and will continue over the summer. The exciting “summer programs” has morning Studio Art classes for children 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, and teens. All of these groups will explore a variety of drawing and painting mediums revolving around personal themes. Each day will challenge the young artists to explore and especially to have FUN in the process. Afternoons will inspire youngsters to apply their creative skills to the new MAGIC classes. Each day will bring the world of magic alive with learning, practicing, and even performing for family and friends. This idea is a repeat workshop following a successful June workshop that produced 10 novice magicians ready to

become members of the National Society of Young Magicians. Children and teens who complete the workshop are invited to join the National organization through the Society of American Magicians through the affiliation that Frates has had with society, as a member of the Order of Merlin Shield. Afternoons in August bring more art classes for youngsters ages 4-teens during the week of August 13-17 and the morning tradition of the Lakes Region’s Children’s Theater

Workshop. During the week young people between the ages of 4 and 12 enrolled in the Children’s Theater Workshop will collaborate to produce a complete performance on the evening of Friday, August 17 for family and friends.

exposes Eric Holder and possibly the President himself. If there was nothing to hide and if this was truly the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most transparent administrationâ&#x20AC;? as the President once claimed, then there would be no need to use Executive Privilege. This is exactly the type of scandal that would make impeached President Richard Nixon proud, but at least in the case of the Watergate scandal no one was murdered. The families of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and of the 300 plus Mexicans who were murdered by the weapons involved in Fast and Furious deserve justice. Voters will be wise to remember this deadly scandal and the associated cover-up by voting for Mitt Romney in November. Thank you, Brett Collopy Farmington, NH.

sold to the Mexican drug cartels to be used as the weapons in the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans to create more public support for gun control the US. In response to the request for Justice Department documents related to Fast and Furious from Congressman Darrell Issa of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Obama has responded by invoking Executive Privilege to ensure that no such documents are released for investigation. Executive Privilege is meant to protect the Executive branch in matters related to the military, diplomacy, and national security. It was never meant to be used to cover up corruption. Why would President Obama tie himself directly to this issue unless there was something very large at stake to justify the terrible appearance of it? Obviously there is something in those requested documents that

Holder has long been an advocate of draconian gun control measures even going as far to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The job of the government should be to really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.â&#x20AC;? As for President Obama, after meeting with gun control advocate Sarah Brady, Obama told her that in regards to gun control â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want you to know that we are working on it,â&#x20AC;? and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to go through a few processes, but under the radarâ&#x20AC;?. In addition, early in his presidency, Obama stated that the majority of the horrific violence by Mexican drug cartels was caused by using guns that were bought in the US. This was proven to be a complete falsehood as guns purchased in the US accounted for only a small amount of the violence in Mexico. I believe that real goal of Fast and Furious was to have the US guns that were

Greek. Don’t forget, I was right about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! About those Dodgers My June 14 column about my excellent adventure to Dodger Stadium alluded to how many World Series that franchise had won. I sadly neglected to acknowledge the 1959 Dodgers, who beat the Go-Go White Sox in the World Series. Thank you to alert reader William Lamb for pointing that out.

Sportsquote “Tennis was a game invented by a woman named Samantha Tennis in 1839, in the village of Lobsworth, County of Kent, as a diversion for the wealthy and titled Englishmen of the region, who had nothing better to do at the time but

drink, belch and wear funny clothes.” - Dan Jenkins. Sportsquiz Answer The first Olympic Biathlon competition was held at Squaw Valley, California, in 1960.

Romney will take the rest, and will win the overall popular vote by a margin of 51.4% to 47.5%. Should this come to pass, I expect calls from the Cable News Networks for me to share my political sagacity. I’m not sure what I’ll charge yet. Probably take the best offer. Then again, the new administration may need a political advisor. I’d work for half of what they paid David Axelrod. We need to scale back those bloated federal salaries. Either that, or I could be Ambassador to New Zealand. Again, I’d work for half of what the current Ambassador is making. There you have it.

take a very long time -- much longer than a course lasts. It took the leading classical economists a hundred years of wrestling with different concepts of supply and demand -- often misunderstanding each other -- before finally arriving at mutually understood concepts that can now be taught to students in the first week of introductory economics. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that the discovery learning professor sometimes seemed to be the one doing most of the work in the class, “bringing the students’ sometimes fumbling answers back to economic principles.” This course’s main focus is said to be not on mastering

the principles of economics, but being able to “dialog” and discuss “shades of gray.” With such mushy goals and criteria, hard evidence is unlikely to rear its ugly head and spoil the pretty vision of discovery learning. Discovery learning may not serve the interests of the students, but it may well serve the ego of its advocate. Education may be the only field of human endeavor where experiments always seem to succeed -- as judged by their advocates. By contrast, the third method of teaching introductory economics, in lectures by Professor Donald Boudreaux of George Mason University, tests the students with objective questions -- which means that

it is also producing a test of whether this traditional way of teaching actually works. Apparently it does. The Chronicle of Higher Education also reported on the students. The feckless behavior of today’s students in all three courses makes me glad that I left the classroom long ago, and do my teaching today solely through my writings.

man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.” Jane Pitt (she and my Betty, look somewhat alike) is now one of my heroes – she is gutsy, and she is right! ******** Author Ayn Rand: “Under fascism, citizens retain the responsibilities of owning property, without freedom to act and without any of the advantages of owner-

ship. Under socialism, government officials acquire all the advantages of ownership, without any of the responsibilities, since they do not hold title to the property, but merely the right to use it - at least until the next purge. In either case, the government officials hold the economic, political and legal power of life or death over the citizens.” We are freedom loving Americans, would you want your grandchildren to live under this form of government? You know what you have to do the first Tuesday in November.

as an emerging threat and wants to stop new â&#x20AC;&#x153;international terror bases.â&#x20AC;? But this wanton barbarism recalls the Taliban whose vengeance against Buddhist statues of Bamiyan in Afghanistan were destroyed in March 2001. The hateful destruction and desecration of the historic Buddhist statues by the emboldened Taliban was condemned by the UN and the West but to little avail. France faces a number of clear and stark choices in its former colony. The Foreign Ministry has called

the cultural destruction â&#x20AC;&#x153;an intolerable act.â&#x20AC;? Yet shall France intervene in its former West African colony? Will the new President Francois Hollande dare to deploy the Foreign Legion to this former outpost to restore order, as many past French presidents would have done in such a situation? Does the world notice? John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor socializing with family and friends, but an irksome workplace situation could intrude. No use grumbling, Lamb. Just do it, and then get back to the fun times. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There’s still time for you Ferdinands and Fernandas to relax and sniff the roses. But a major work project looms and soon will demand much of your attention through the 23rd.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your energy levels are rising, and you feel you can handle anything the job requires. That’s great. But don’t isolate yourself. Keep your door open to your workplace colleagues. LEO (July 23 August 22) A workplace change could lead to that promotion you’ve been hoping for. But you’ll have

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your rigidity regarding a difficult workplace situation could be the reason your colleagues aren’t rushing to your assistance. Try being more flexible in your demands. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) That uneasy mood could be your Libran inner voice reminding you that while it’s great to be with your new friends, you need to take care not to ignore your old ones. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A sudden spate of criticism could shake the Scorpion’s usually high sense of self-confidence. Best advice: You made a decision you believed in -- now defend it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your reluctance to help restart a stalled relationship could be traced to unresolved doubts about your partner’s honesty. Rely on a trusted friend’s advice.

Ryan Montbleau Band At The Inn On Main

Black Cyan Magenta Yellow

— Friday, July 13th at 8pm —

The Ryan Montbleau Band will be performing at The Inn On Main as part of The Top of the Hill Music Series on Friday, July 13th at 8pm. Door will open at 6pm for dinner, All shows are performed in the Renovated Barn Venue. In his 10-year career Ryan Montbleau and his limber band have built their catalog the old-fashioned way, by introducing new songs to their live set, then bending and shaping them over dozens of performances before committing a definitive version to the hard drive. For that and many other reasons, Montbleau’s next album, For Higher, is quite literally a departure. Wellestablished out of his home base in the Northeast, the singer threw himself into New Orleans, where everything is slow-cooked, for a few fast-moving days — and whipped up an instant delicacy.

Band’s ever-growing repertoire. But the majority, including four handpicked cover tunes — stone soul nuggets from Bill With-

prepwork. It was a feel thing, with Montbleau putting heads together with fellow music head Ben Ellman of New Orleans flag-bearers Galactic. The singer and songwriter first eased his way into the city when he was invited to contribute songs to Backatown, the breakthrough album of favorite son Trombone Shorty. That went so well, Montbleau co-wrote two more songs for Shorty’s recent follow-up, “For True.” When the crowds are dancing, the band digs deeper in the pocket. But Montbleau, who still performs solo, is constantly looking to strike a balance between the contagious energy of moving bodies and making a closer connection. For tickets call (603) 569-1335 (not available online). The Inn on Main is located at 200 North Main Street in Wolfeboro. www.innnewhampshire.com
