A Fair Memory From A Different Era

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

I was recently reminded of an experience from fifty years ago.

My memory was triggered when I unexpectedly came across something that was part of that experience even though it was far removed from where that experience happened.

It’s funny how the mind and memory work.

I was nine years old, going on ten, during the last summer of the New York World’s Fair in 1965. Its theme was “Peace Through

Understanding” dedicated to “Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe” though at the time I had no idea about any of that.

Even if I did, it wouldn’t have mattered. I was nine years old and I was going and it was going to be very cool.

I went a few times to the World’s Fair during its two year run, though I don’t remember exactly how many. Maybe it was four or five times, or maybe just twice. Memories fifty years old can sometimes fudge the details.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, May 28, 2015

In our home, we try to instill a life lesson for our kids best summed up in Latin: Niby Michelle Malkin hil boni sine laSyndicated Columnist bore.

It means, “Nothing good achieved without hard work.� Few people I’ve met in my lifetime embody this motto better and more brilliantly than Tony Maglica, inventor of the iconic Maglite flashlight.

The spry 84-year-old founder and CEO of Mag Instrument still traverses his 450,000-squarefoot factory floor dozens of times over the course of his 12-hour workday, six days a week, beginning at the crack of dawn and ending after most of his 800 employees have clocked out. I visited his Ontario, Calif., headquarters while doing research for my new book, “Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs.�

Born on the tiny island of Zlarin off the coast of Croatia, Maglica came here determined to make something of himself. His first job was sewing piecework in a sweatshop at 50 cents an hour. He worked hard to assimilate, teaching himself English from a dictionary. With his wife and young child in tow, the ambitious 20-yearold tinkerer packed up a rusted, bald-tired 1947 Studebaker and headed West.

In Denver, he found employment as a machinist, but aroused the ire of union shop leaders who complained when he completed more pieces than his colleagues or skipped his mandated breaks. “Why were they so angry that I wanted to work? I came here to work!� Tony ex-

claimed to me. He packed up and headed with his family to California, where the promise of $3-an-hour jobs beckoned. In 1955, he rented a tiny garage in working-class South El Monte, whose motto is “City of Achievement,� to do contract machinery work. “This is where it all started,� Tony showed me, pointing to an old blackand-white photo of a shed with bars on its narrow window slits. He scraped together $125 as a down payment on the $1,000 machinery. The superior quality of Tony’s precision tool work on U.S. missiles and satellites won him several loyal aerospace and defense clients. Tony worked harder, faster and longer than other contractors to get a job done. He slept in the garage on his workbench to meet deadlines.

Tony innovated and patented improvements on precision tool devices and incorporated Mag Instrument in 1974. While fulfilling orders for a longdefunct flashlight parts manufacturer, a proverbial bulb flashed in Tony’s head. Before he came along, flashlights were ugly, flimsy objects.

They were called “flash lights� because the carbon filament bulbs were inefficient and could not produce a steady stream of light. Dissatisfied with the state of flashlight design, Tony innovated a strong, sleek torch of anodized aluminum, which resists corrosion inside and out.

He crafted self-cleaning contacts, “a pushbutton switch instead of a slide switch, and an adjustable beam, so you could go from flood to spotlight.�

The torch’s three seams are sealed with O-rings for water resistance.

U.S. Patent 4,286,311, filed by Tony in 1978 and approved by the Patent Office in Au-

gust 1981, ushered in a new age of heavy, rugged flashlights with powerful beams used by police officers, firefighters and other first responders who tell jaw-dropping stories of how their Maglites saved lives. Consumers embraced his products as household necessities, too.

Admirers dubbed his torch “engineered light� and a “work of art that works.�

An unapologetic guardian of his intellectual property rights, Maglite has spent more than $100 million battling infringers. The company has never lost a lawsuit.

From Day One, Tony vowed to manufacture products that were 100percent American. Tony doesn’t just build flashlights in America. He builds many of the machines that build those flashlights. “Politicians always talk about supporting American manufacturing. I have done it,� Tony told me. “Government doesn’t innovate. People like me do.

Government doesn’t create jobs. We do.�

When Mag Instrument needed a certain battery clip, it refused to import the part from China. Tony designed his own clip and spent $1 million tooling up his plant to manufacture the parts in-house and in-country. Maglite defiantly refuses to outsource workers because “it would offend against his faith in the American free-enterprise system, and against the spirit of giving back.

Mr. Maglica knows that Mag Instrument got where it is by being an American company.�

The owner of 200 other patents, Tony the tireless tinkerpreneur showed me an empty lab room where he had been developing new, revolutionary incandescent bulb parts. The machinery is dormant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency forbade him See malkin on 32

Don’t Raise Gas Tax

Investing In Tourism

To The Editor: 60 minutes did a program on the infrastructure on the bridges and roads. It said so many bridges were in disrepair and needed to be fixed. Yes they do.

But they want to raise the gas tax.

I am sick of hearing that more money is needed to fix our infrastructure.

I live in the town of Meredith, NH. The federal government was going to spend 4 million dollars and the state of NH one million dollars for rotaries that we do not need. After a town meeting with many town citizens attending, the Selectmen voted the project down.

More towns and cities need to vote down projects that are not needed.

Stimulus money - bridges to nowhere - why didn’t we spend the billions of dollars on infrastructure then?

Federal gas tax money has been used to create hiking trails and a museum.

Do not raise the gas tax?

Stop wasting the money you get from us already?

Gas tax money should only be used to repair or build bridges and roads. And instead of building new bridges why don’t we fix the ones we have already?

I am not a bottomless pit for the federal government to mismanage the money it collects from me to spend on other things.

No to a higher gas tax.

To The Editor: Much is said about the New Hampshire Advantage. We attribute many of our successes to our frugality and willingness to take care of our own communities while living within our means. But as much as we talk about it, sometimes we don’t pay enough attention to what it really means, think about its components, and take proactive steps to preserve it.

Protecting our natural resources and cultural heritage lies at the heart of “Live Free or Die,� and is an important component.

Here in the Lakes Region we particularly value our mountains, lakes and rivers, the most visible components of our natural heritage. Our richly diverse communities and magnificent geography clearly identify us as the center of New Hampshire.

Hardest to see and measure, though, are the contributions of our people and the decisions we make.

People here in the Lakes Region are strong and resilient and we embrace our neighbors and visitors alike. These define our character and enrich us as well as the entire Granite State, to say nothing about attracting abundant tourists to enjoy our hospitality.

When viewed through this prism, the choices some of our legislators are making are baffling. We know that investing in the New Hampshire Advantage pays dividends, yet we see aggressive, crippling cuts

Our Story

This newspaper was first published in 1883

by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times.

being made to programs— including some which return more than $8 for every dollar we spend.

For example, for every dollar we put into promoting our state’s tourism industry, our state and local governments take in more than eight dollars in revenue. At the same time, spending by visiting tourists help fund more than 68,000 jobs in our state.

One of the smart decisions we made a few years ago to ensure this continues, was to dedicate a small portion of rooms and meals tax revenue specifically to tourism promotion.

The House Republican passed budget is poised to suspend that action—a cut of nearly half of the budget for promoting our state’s tourism industry. Again, for every dollar we spend on tourism promotion we get eight back. This cut of more than $3 million could result in real revenue losses of more than $20 million, and deliver a long term domino effect in job losses and business contraction.

Research in other states has shown that even temporary reductions in promotional marketing of tourism can have a lasting impact on the state’s economy. Why would we want to risk that?

The Lakes Region that so many of us call home would suffer mightily if these illogical cuts aren’t reversed. We aren’t just talking about the loss of seasonal jobs, we are talking about small businesses we’ve known for years, See mail boat on 26

“Then are you not rulebreaking cheaters?”

Our classroom discussions on ethics invariably result in comments like “It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught” or “Everyone does it.” As a professor/facilitator I try not to proselytize, but I’m compelled to share my evolving perspectives.

Could I have excused Red Sox pitcher Mike Torrez if he’d opted to throw a spitball to retire Bucky Dent in 1978 and avoid the three-run homer that won a playoff game for the Yankees?

Honestly, in the heat of the moment, I’d have said “Throw the spitball!”

the infield grass grow to make it easier for batters to bunt their way on? Is it cheating to let the grass grow?

Conversely, when Los Angeles Dodger Maury Wills led the National League in stolen bases, some opposing teams would hose down and muddy their base paths to slow Wills down.

Is it cheating to water an infield or is it a legitimate exercise of home field advantage?

Major League pitcher Gaylord Perry won over 300 games and was inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame.

But he was always doctoring baseballs and throwing illegal spitters. In other words, he was an inveterate cheater. Does he belong in Cooperstown?

What about players who used steroids in the 1980s to enhance their performances, before these substances were banned? Was that cheating?

The ethical scenarios are endless, but they all deserve attention and discussion.

I ask my soccer-playing or basketball-playing students if they’ve ever held an opponent or grabbed a jersey.

Virtually all plead guilty.

TO CHEAT, OR NOT TO CHEAT? That is the question.

We often address ethical issues in my sports management classes. A loss of fan trust dooms sports events. Who wants to emotionally invest in anything where the outcome is controlled by fixers, gamblers, or cheaters? We need level playing fields.

Integrity is the coin of the sports realm.

That said, there are many case studies of ethical quandaries and “grey” areas.

Is a coach who plays an injured player testing ethical boundaries? What about shady recruiting promises?

Is it cheating to steal catchers’ signs—or just clever gamesmanship? Is it right for a hockey coach to send a goon onto the ice to retaliate for a dirty hit? Or is it part of the game? Is it cheating for a basketball player to fake “taking a charge” and take a dive to draw a foul?

Celtic coach Red Auerbach reportedly turned the heat off in the visitors’ locker room at the old Boston Garden. Was this cheating or was it legitimate exercise of “home court advantage?”

Some baseball teams with able bunters would slope the foul line areas and let

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, May 28, 2015

‘Just Asking’ In a recent panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama gave another demonstration of his mastery

by Thomas Sowell of rhetoric -Syndicated Columnist and disregard of reality.

One of the ways of fighting poverty, he proposed, was to “ask from society’s lottery winners” that they make a “modest investment” in government programs to help the poor.

Since free speech is guaranteed to everyone by the First Amendment to the Constitution, there is nothing to prevent anybody from asking anything from anybody else. But the federal government does not just “ask” for money.

It takes the money it wants in taxes, usually before the people who have earned it see their paychecks.

Despite pious rhetoric on the left about “asking” the more fortunate for more money, the government does not “ask” anything.

It seizes what it wants by force. If you don’t pay up, it can take not only your paycheck, it can seize your bank account, put a lien on your home and/or put you in federal prison.

So please don’t insult our intelligence by talking piously about “asking.”

And please don’t call the government’s pouring trillions of tax dollars down a bottomless pit “investment.” Remember the soaring words from Barack Obama, in his early days in the White House, about “investing in the industries of the future”? After Solyndra and other companies in which he “invested” the taxpayers’ money went bankrupt, we haven’t heard those soaring words so much.

Then there are those who pro-

duced the wealth that politicians want to grab. In Obama’s rhetoric, these producers are called “society’s lottery winners.”

Was Bill Gates a lottery winner? Or did he produce and sell a computer operating system that allows billions of people around the world to use computers, without knowing anything about the inner workings of this complex technology?

Was Henry Ford a lottery winner? Or did he revolutionize the production of automobiles, bringing the price down to the point where cars were no longer luxuries of the rich but vehicles that millions of ordinary people could afford, greatly expanding the scope of their lives?

Most people who want to redistribute wealth don’t want to talk about how that wealth was produced in the first place. They just want “the rich” to pay their undefined “fair share” of taxes.

This “fair share” must remain undefined because all it really means is “more.”

Once you have defined it -whether at 30 percent, 60 percent or 90 percent -- you wouldn’t be able to come back for more.

Obama goes further than other income redistributionists. “You didn’t build that!” he declared to those who did. Why? Because those who created additions to the world’s wealth used government-built roads or other government-provided services to market their products.

And who paid for those roads and other government-provided services if not the taxpayers?

Since all other taxpayers, as well as non-taxpayers, also use government facilities, why are those who created private wealth not to use them also, since they are taxpayers as well?

The fact that most of the rhetorical ploys used by Barack Obama and other redistributionists will

New Hampshire Going In The Wrong Direction

NH state government just keeps growing.

In this time of increased bureaucracy and government on the federal level,

by Jane Cormier it has never been Hooksett, NH. more important to establish a strong, independent, and fiscally sound state. Strong states can answer many of the problems heading our way, but the truth is, there are some very troubling economic numbers here in New Hampshire and they do not bode well for our Granite State.

The Pew Charitable Trust has recently offered some data with regard to how states are doing coming out of the recent recession. The national economic growth rate is around 8 percent.

Some states are doing quite well at 11 percent, some are holding their own, but New Hampshire See Sowell on 34 is going in the wrong direction.

New Hampshire, which used to have a healthy economy, is now in the lowest 10 states with growth of 5% or less. Not very promising, to say the least.

So, why is this happening?

Charles Arlinghaus, of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, a free-market think tank in Concord, believes there are a number of reasons. “The two worst measures that doom us are taxes and energy. When industrial users of electricity would have to pay more than twice the national average price for the privilege of being here, don’t expect them to show up.”

And, he is right. Higher electricity costs kills business from thriving (or coming) to the Granite State. There is no doubt about it.

Then, there is the fact that New Hampshire is 48th in the Tax Foundation’s Corporate Tax Index. YIKES. That is just abysmal. Why would anyone want to bring their business to New See cormier on 38

Rebuilding Together S k e p tics like me don’t believe in miracles, even when we see them. But I saw one last month.

It wasn’t

by Ken Gorrell a dramatic Northfield, NH. parting of the sea or an inexplicable healing, but for the family involved what I witnessed was miraculous and life-changing. I saw a group of volunteers come together to rescue a family, to give them hope for the future, to give them the gift of a home revitalized.

I saw the men and women of Rebuilding Together lift up one of the most vulnerable families in their community, doing for them what they could not possibly have done for themselves.

Rebuilding Together “provides low-income homeowners with critical home repairs, accessibility modifications and energyefficient upgrades,” helping to “stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods across the country.” Their website, rebuildingtogether.org, provides plenty of details about this national organization and the work it’s been doing for the past 25 years. But even a video narrated by Morgan Freeman can’t quite capture the essence of the incredible transformation I saw

over two weeks in April.

I’ve known the family selected to receive the gift of a home no longer the worst on the block. Over the course of 6 years I did what I could to help them, but to little affect. I saw their home slowly deteriorate from lack of maintenance, watched as the clutter built up and the stress of living on the margin of financial ruin take its toll. Those who have experienced that stress know how debilitating it can be to mind and body.

Financial stress has been linked to depression and anxiety, as well as heart disease, high blood pressure, more frequent colds and minor illnesses. Even clutter has been connected to asthma and obesity. A recent article from Advocate Health Care quoted Dr. Rian Rowles, a psychiatrist affiliated with Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill: “When you live with clutter, you are subconsciously reminded of work that needs to be finished and visually, your eyes do not have a place to rest.” The doctor added that “Too much clutter can cause tremendous stress and fatigue. When things take longer to find, or can’t be found, stress levels rise and so does your risk for illness.”

So when their local Rebuilding Together chapter chose this family, I shared in their joy and volunteered to be a part of the action.

As with all such efforts, the keys are organization and long-term planning. The volunteers play a

vital role, of course, but without the people behind the scenes putting it all together there would be no “miracle.” Many of the organizers came from the real estate and construction fields, and much of the material used was either donated directly or purchased through donations collected over the year.

The volunteers were a mix of

skilled tradesmen and people like me, home improvement “weekend warriors,” willing to pitch in where they could. Despite the large numbers of people and the relatively small space, chaos and confusion were kept to a minimum.

The members of this team seemed to self-synchronize, united in a single cause.

ISIS Tightening Noose on Iraq UNITED NATIONS - The fall

of the critically important city of Ramadi to Islamic State terrorists, the widening humaniby John J. Metzler tarian crisis throughout Syndicated Columnist the country involving millions of displaced persons, and the continuing pressures on a still-fragile central government in Baghdad, bode ill for Iraq’s future stability and security. These setbacks for the beleaguered Baghdad government equally shadow Washington where the Obama Administration appears in denial over the depth of this crisis.

The sectarian Islamic fault lines between Iraq’s Shiite majority and the Sunni minority form a large part of the underlying issue; but so is the determined and focused assault by militants of the Islamic State striving to create a radical Islamic Caliphate throughout the Middle East.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) gains from the Iraqi government’s own sectarian favoritism and infighting.

Unquestionably, the Obama Administration’s politically expedient total pullout from Iraq in 2011, has caused a power vacuum being filled both by ISIL (a Sunni faction) and the Islamic Republic of Iran (supporting the Shiite majority). Moreover the Obama Team seriously underrated IS calling the group, a “junior varsity” terrorist organization. Over the past year, Is-

lamic State has blitzed through northern Iraq, and large parts of Syria, widened its reach, and seized strategic cities such as Mosul and now Ramadi.

The Iraqi army, for the most part, caved in and collapsed. To their enduring credit, the tough Kurdish Persmerga fighters have been the only fire-break to the onslaught. In some areas, IS has been beaten back by militias, but the overall picture remains grim. American special forces and Air Force strikes have been unable to stem the tide.

Jan Kubis, the UN’s tough point man in Iraq, put the matter bluntly before the Security Council, “ISIL is far from being defeated and government gains remain at times fragile. An ability to liberate a city, territory, doesn’t necessarily mean an ability to hold it.”

In Ramadi, some 120,000 civilians fled the city to seek safety from the onslaught. Dr. Kubis added, “Vast areas of Iraq and millions of Iraqis remain under ISIL control and influence which continues to perpetrate horrendous crimes and human rights violations against the Iraqi people.”

Kubis added, “ISIL recently added to their crimes the barbaric destruction of Iraq’s cultural and historic heritage in another attempt to destroy its national identity.”

Islamic State has targeted antiquities and historic cities in both Iraq and Syria for destruction. The terrorist group has captured Syria’s ancient city of Palmyra, a Roman-era See Metzler on 33

There is no better way to get birds flocking to your yard than a good source of fresh water. A birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for water in all four seasons is so strong that even species you never expected will be attracted to a strategically placed water source.

Birds are very opportunistic. If a birdbath is not available, they will accept water in almost any device or indentation, even the tiniest puddles that would hardly get your shoes wet.

By adding a water feature to your backyard habitat you can have a focal point of interest that benefits your feathered friends.

The most natural spot for a bath is close to the ground. Water at higher levels not only appeals to some species, it reduces the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposure to cat attacks. A soaking wet bird is no match for an aggressive feline. Locating a birdbath near trees improves security against raptors. Plus, branches are an easily reached perch from which to preen in safety.

Motion on waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface or the noise of falling water is like a magnet to the wild birds. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have room for a recirculating waterfall, any device that moves the water or creates a sound will do the trick.

Dripper, misters or small pump driven fountains that keep water moving have the added benefit of preventing mosquito eggs from hatching.

You can create your own dripper by hanging an old watering can over your

Voted one of the best vintage & antique stores in the country and #1 in New Hampshire

birdbath on a sheppardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hook. Angle the spout so that just a small dripping action is achieved. An old bucket with a tiny hole on the bottom is an acceptable alternative.

If you have a lawn irrigation system, you can connect it to a birdbath for a continuous water flow.

Run a line with a spray emitter from the drip system to the place where the birdbath is located. Every time the irrigation system goes on, fresh water flushes out the bath, refills it and assures the birds always have a source for bathing and drinking.

Whatever your space or topography allows, providing water in your birdfriendly yard is an integral

part of the birdscaping plan. The birds wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an elaborate bathing structure or an upside down garbage can lid. They simply want a reliable, clean source of water all year long.

Enjoy your birds!

With contracts signed by April 30, 2015

“Designed To Take The Government Off The Backs Of People” I d o n ot know 19 year old Republican Yvonne Dean-Bailey who won a special election for

by Niel Young Advocates Columnist state representative in Rockingham District 32. Congratulations on your victory, and let’s chat by phone during my radio program soon.

My advice to Yvonne: Always remember who you are, and why you were elected. ******** I like Frank Guinta and his family, or because he leans fiscally conservative, or maybe it is the Establishment GOP beginning with Kelly Ayotte telling him to resign.

Why not take a breath, and let Frank work this out. Naw, the Elites have other people in mind for the District 1 seat.

One day last week (Friday) the pressure was getting to me. Pressure brought on by Hussein Obama, Mitch McConnell, Kelly Ayotte, John Boehner, amoeba (no backbone) republicans, Democrats who want to disarm our general population so only military police and bad people who want to kill us will have guns and ammo.

Where are the voices on talk radio, and letters to the publications naming names, and making sure that those “names” know you will be working to unseat them at the next opportunity? ******* Dick Morris, who was so far wrong with election results that he suddenly disappeared from Fox News had this to say at http://thehill. com/opinion/dickmorris/242582-dick-

morris-gop-will-keepsenate: “A close analysis of the seats in play shows that the composition of the 2017 Senate is not likely to be much different from its current makeup.”

On 12/4/2012 Morris was told his contract would not be renewed.

In other words; you are gone, and Rove, who is about as bad as Dick, was shelved for some time.

Morris is now predicting 17 months out that the senate and congress will remain pretty much the same as it is now.

On what basis can that be true? IF there continues to be a lazy senate lead by Mitch McConnell, and the scene does not improve dramatically the Establishment, and unfortunately some good Republicans, will be kicked out by the voters.

And don’t let the RINOs tell us we need incumbents and not - allow me to jump in here. That is the way it worked in 2014, remember? ******** Has anybody ever asked Kelly Ayotte her positions on the following: National Security, U S Chamber Commerce influence, Legal Immigrants waiting for the okay to admit more from “the waiting List”, where is her voice telling Americans what she is doing to keep undesirables from just strolling through our borders and making those who seek citizenship the proper way are at the front of the line, why she voted for ENDA? U n i o n L e a d e r 11/8/2013: Sen. Kelly Ayotte was among 10 Republicans who joined all U.S. Senate Democrats in passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act Thursday. The bill would prohibit discrimination

in the workplace on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

I would like to know what legislation to protect a florist, cake maker, or wedding planner who’s religious and personal beliefs prohibit them from doing this for a “Gay” couple? Kelly, it comes down to; are there two sets of rules? I think so. Wait for Sharia Law to take over America, which side will Sen. Ayotte defend? Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a co-sponsor of the bill, said the vote “represents a historic milestone in the fight to end workplace discrimination. No one should be hired or fired in the United States because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Equal protection under the law is part of our national creed and this bill helps us honor that promise.”

So, Kelly, what do say in response? Do YOU fine and force the baker, florist, others with the threat of putting them out of business? ******** Justice William O. Douglas (1898-1980), U. S. Supreme Court Justice: “The Constitution is not neutral. It wa s d e s ig n e d t o t a k e the government off the backs of people.” This is a good place to end this writing.

Can you hear the seasons changing?

Spring Peepers, birds and wind chimes: just a few of the cherished sounds that return to us this time of year. Don’t miss out again this season.

their creations and lets you know of what they are brewing up. The Big Beer Series is for those who desire just a little bit more from their beer appetite, so this is the third and final installation about the Smutty series.

“Tripel” is a great example of a Belgian beer.

Traveling throughout Europe, one would sample many similar beers with this distinction. So Smutty has done their homework on this one.

Tripel is 8.2% ABV, so this beer will gain your appreciation and satisfaction. It is golden and orange in color. Its slightly sweet with a generous malty mouth-feel and has no particular place to go except spending time with you.

Poured into a pint glass, Tripel retains its off white head quite nicely. Your nose will pick up a generous amount of floral sweetness along with an abundance of headiness from this strong ale. The Belgian yeast is what makes this beer a treat.

The citrus color is inviting and, again, typical of the style of beer. Some spice and fruity notes are apparent as you partake.

Well balanced and never bitter, this brew will require you to finish the bottle.

With the many other offerings from Smuttynose, you will always find it at Case-n-Keg, 5 Mill St, Meredith. Most on BeerAdvocate.com have rated this beer from 3.50+ to 4 out of a score of 5. Officially, they rate this at 85 out of 100 which is a ‘very good’ notation.

Smuttynose’s Tripel is a great find while it is available so go and find for it today!

Two Upcoming Events At The Wright Museum WOLFEBORO - The Wright Museum will host the fifth session of the “Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2015 Educational Programming” on Tuesday, June 2nd, beginning at 7pm with “A Maine Boy Goes to War - Lecture and book signing by author Paul Marshall.” Doors open at 6:00 p.m.

Paul Marshall is a retired United Methodist Minister who grew up in the woods of northern Maine, living in a one -room tarpaper shack. His world changed dramatically when he was drafted and served as a combat medic during WW II. In Europe he saw images of death and destruction that would haunt him forever. Two decades after the war, Marshall was given a chance of a lifetime to turn the tide of destruction into hope. In 1964 Marshall and his family moved to Truk, an island lagoon in the South Pacific, where he

built and ran a school for future Micronesian leaders. On the island he saw how the same super powers that brought about World War II had also dominated and oppressed the people of Micronesia. So he set out to make a difference in their lives by encouraging their autonomy and freedom through the power of love and family. Reverend Marshall’s book will be for sale at the lecture.

Admission is $8.00 per person and free for Wright Museum members. Space is limited RSVPs are strongly encouraged to ensure sufficient seating for all lecture attendees. Call 603-5691212 to reserve your seat today.

Honoring the 71st Anniversary of D-Day On Friday, June 5 at 11:00am, the Wright Museum will honor the 71st anniversary of D-Day with a special presentation of

the Academy Award-nominated film, “D-Day Remembered.” This 1994 documentary about the June 6, 1944 Normandy invasion was made by the well-known late filmmaker Charles Guggenheim. The NY Times said the film contained, “indelible memories and unforgettable images.”

The 60-minute presentation will be free with your paid museum admission.

Please join us in honoring the men who participated in one of the most significant events of the 20th century.

The Wright Museum of World War II is located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro. They are open daily through October 31st, Monday-Saturday from 10am -4pm and Sunday from Noon-4pm.

Healthy Tips From Dr. Fink

SLEEP. Having trouble nodding off? Try these tips Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. A consistent routine will help your body know when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to sleep and to wake.

Make it a point to have some quiet down time before getting into bed so that you are relaxed and ready to let yourself fall asleep.

Develop a relaxing bedtime routine. Consider a warm bath, reading, or listening to music. Lower the house lights. These routines allow your mind and body to wind down and signal that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for rest.

Avoid alcohol close to bedtime. Alcohol may help put you to sleep, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep you asleep. In fact, alcohol may impair or prevent deep sleep and REM stages. You will also be dehydrated and find that you have fuzzy brain the next day and not perform at your peak.

Avoid caffeine later in the day. Caffeine can stay in your system up to 14 hours and can decrease sleep time and quality.

Also avoid other stimulants such as nicotine, sugar, chocolate, soda containing caffeine.

Turn off the computer and TV. Better yet, keep electronic screens out of the bedroom entirely. If you insist on having a television in the bedroom, be sure to set the sleep timer so that you are able to stay asleep and not be awakened a short time later by a loud commercial or other distraction.

Get some sun. Sunlight helps the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal biological clock reset itself each day. Sleep experts recommend exposure to an hour of morning sunlight for people having problems falling asleep.

Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and at a cool temperature. Reserve the bed for sleeping, cuddling, and sex

Dr. Charles Fink of Fink Chiropractic and Natural Improvement Center. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not work or bill paying.

Research suggests that cooler room temperatures may also improve sleep quality. Some people use a fan or some other source of white noise to muffle sounds from outside. Ear plugs may be helpful as well.

Eat wisely. Avoid heavy meals right before bedtime. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to bed hungry. If hunger strikes in the evening, eat a small, nutritious snack. There are some schools of thought that suggest you eat 2 to 3 hours prior to going to bed giving your dinner time to digest.

Clear your mind. Make a to-do list for the next day

April 25, 2015 Message of the

BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Medjugorje, Bosnia-Hercegovina

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear children! I am with you also today to lead you to salvation. Your soul is restless because your spirit is weak and tired from all worldly things. You, little children, pray to the Holy Spirit that He may transform you and ďŹ ll you with His strength of faith and hope, so that you may be ďŹ rm in this battle against evil. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.â&#x20AC;?

Our Blessed Mother has been giving a Message to the World every 25th day of the month since June 1981.

and then set it aside. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make bedtime the time to solve your problems. Wake up with a thought? Write it down immediately so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss and turn worrying youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll forget.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie in bed awake. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall asleep within 30 minutes, go to another room and do something restful until you feel sleepy.

Be sure to choose a relaxing project so that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defeat the purpose by getting involved in something that excites you compounding the problem.

Make getting enough quality sleep a priority.

Skimping on sleep can increase stress, undermine metabolism, suppress immunity, and set you up for a host of serious health problems. Any degree of sleepiness will impair performance and mood.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have tried many different ways to get myself back to myself. I was tired, bloated, no energy, brain fog, just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right. Then I saw Dr. Finkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ad in the paper, which also listed everything I felt and thought, why not, what do I have to lose! So I decided to give him a try.

It has been four weeks and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually feeling myself again, now compared to years of not feeling good, this is awesome! I have energy; I think more clearly, all I can say is â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? Dr. Fink!â&#x20AC;? -S.B.

Your Health is in Your Hands

by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer

Do you complain? No, seriously, do you? I think we all know the obvious answer: yes, we complain.

We complain early and often. I’m not judging. I do it, too. I’ve just come to a conclusion for myself, and perhaps you will feel this way about yourself, too: I need to complain less. I mean, honestly, we complain when it’s too hot, too cold, too much snow, too many black flies, about our spouses/partners, out kids, our jobs, traffic, and on the list could go. Why do we do this? Partly, to vent, to be heard, and partly out of habit. Here is the problem, though: it’s not healthy.

In the 2012 book, “Three Simple Steps”, British author Trevor Blake makes the claim that 30 minutes of exposure to negativity such as complaining peels

all the days that have no real problems. Those days are blessings. There will be enough bad days in our lives, let’s not make the mundane ones bad, too.

2) Recognize there are positive complaints. Most complaints are pointless and negative, but what if you’ve been truly wronged.

What if you’re the victim of a crime, fraud, or a bad product? These may be cases where logging a complaint can protect your interests or safety. The key here is to make your complaints goal and outcome oriented and not just for the sake of complaining.

We need to save this type of complaining for when it is needed and not use it all the time.

3) Avoid chronic complainers. If you are continually exposed to complainers, there are indications, that it will turn you into a complainer as well. Basically, exposure creates habit. If you find yourself with a chronic complainer, avoid them and if they are unavoidable, do your best to shut out the complaining. If you happen to be the chronic complainer, then break that habit for yourself and the good of others around you.

Obviously, there are moments in life to complain, but in our country most people have their basic needs met. We have more freedoms than most countries. We have it pretty good here. My hope, for all of us, is that we stop complaining and start enjoying the ride, for our health and the health of those around us.

neurons away from the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of your brain used for solving problems. Meaning that if you “peel away” neurons your hippocampus won’t be as effective. Blake says, “….it turns your brain to mush”. Let’s just draw out the implication, Mr. Blake is making: exposure to complaining (via listening to it and doing it) physically damages your brain.

Moreover, some research has indicated that complaining and exposure to it, mimics stress effects in the brain. We all know how damaging stress is to almost all aspects of our health, physically and mentally. Stress reduction can be really tricky.

An “easier said than done” type of deal. Yet, that means we have to limit it where we can and avoiding complaining could be a start.

With all that in mind what should we do about complaining and complainers?

1) Change your perspective. It’s easy to complain about small stuff. It’s even easier to complain about big stuff like work, finances, or relationships. Yet, if you think about times in your life where you’ve experienced real stress or real tragedy, you probably stopped complaining about traffic and the weather.

When we lose a loved one or get a scary diagnosis ourselves, you don’t worry about your bank account or your broken cell phone.

The point here, I think is this: save the complaining for the real stuff and stop sweating the small stuff.

Enjoy your life and enjoy

A moving walkway took us by Michelangelo’s Pietá at the New York World’s Fair in 1965. fair from 1

My grandparents lived in Forest Hills, in Flushing, Queens (which was always a lot of fun to say when I was nine and even makes me smile today).

Their home was about three-and-a-half miles from the World’s Fair. My grandfather would drive my grandmother and us to the Fair and drop us off at the gate. (For all my great memories of the World’s Fair, I can’t remember if it was with one of my brothers or my sister.)

My grandfather never went to the World’s Fair with us. I’m pretty sure he used this free time alone to enjoy his afternoon libation of a Manhattan and then a nice quiet nap on the small cot he set up in his little private cave in his basement. At nine, that didn’t make much sense to me, but today, approaching sixty, it often seems like just the ticket.

We made all of the rounds at the World’s Fair, The ride through the Ford Exhibit where we travelled to prehistoric times and saw what seemed like real moving dinosaurs. ( I later found out it was developed by Walt Disney who created quite a few of the things at the Fair.)

There was GE’s Carousel of Progress where we watched a family of animated robots show us how technology changed over the years (another Disney creation and still in use at Disneyworld), It’s A Small World, Dinoland,

NASA’s Space Park, going up the towers of the New York Pavilion, drifting past Michelangelo’s famous sculpture Pietá, while on a moving walkway (wow!!) and the Chunky Candy Pavilion where you could watch them make candy.

There were many more attractions, but you get the idea.

Being nine, I was entranced by most of the exhibits, many that showed us what the wonders of tomorrow would bring. I can specifically remember how at the Bell Telephone exhibit they claimed that one day we would be able to actually see each other during a phone conversation. No way!!

Remember, this was still four years away from when the first man would land and walk on the moon and more than a quarter century away from the Internet. Most everything at the World’s Fair was pretty wondrous in

my eyes. We were being shown the future and, even though I would imagine most adults were skeptical of these things ever coming to pass, I’m sure there were many young minds like mine that were lit with that fuse that gave us no doubt that anything was possible. As we get older we get more comfortable with the status quo, when we are young, we don’t even know what that phrase means.

We would walk all over the 600-plus acres that the Fair covered, we waited in endless lines to enter some exhibits. (Okay, I admit some weren’t really that exciting to a nine year old, even considering the fact that the Wisconsin Pavilion had the world’s largest cheese). Still, it was a long, exhausting, fun day. To my grandmother, I would imagine, after about seven hours, it was just a long and exhausting day.

Our last stop was outside of the Irish Pavilion where my grandmother could now take the opportunity to avail herself of a refreshing Irish beverage.

It was also when we would be required to sit, be quiet and contemplate our day’s adventures while she revived her spirits and we awaited our grandfather’s arrival to take us home.

One of my favorite memories of the World’s Fair, one that stuck with my nine year old mind as much as the wonderfully intricate computerized versions of the future, was a machine that costs fifty cents to use. It was called the Mold-A-Rama at the Dinoland exhibit and was to me, because

A History Of The Mold-A-Rama In 1937, J.H. “Tike” Miller of Illinois, noticed that one of the figures from his family’s nativity scene had broken.

Not able to buy just one piece, he realized he would have to buy a whole set.

He and his wife made a new plaster figure themselves and soon after he started his own company to sell different small figures at local novelty shops. After World War II broke out in Europe, the import of nativity decorations from Gerthe biggest supplier J.H. Miller - Creator of many, in the world, stopped. Soon the Mold-A-Rama. the J.H. Miller Company was the leading American manufacturer of nativity sets and stayed that way for years.

Sometime in 1955, Miller’s company moved away from plaster and started using plastic injection molding. It was less expensive than plaster casting, giving him the freedom to experiment and expand his line of figurines. He created a series of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, jungle animals, and the popular “Earth Invaders,” now known as the “Miller Aliens,” which include the Purple People Eater, inspired by the hit novelty song.

The company went bamkrupt in 1959. Tike had an idea to convert his patented injection molding machine into an on-demand figure vending machine. Working with Chicago’s Automatic Retailers of America (ARA), Miller licensed the technology that became Mold-A-Rama.

It was the 1964 World’s Fair in New York City that put MoldA-Rama on the map. Some estimates say there were as many as 150 machines in various corporate exhibits over the course of the Fair’s two years. Multiple units were set up inside the Sinclair Oil “Dinoland” Exhibit, producing a plastic Apatosaurus that resembled Sinclair’s iconic mascot, as well as various colors of Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and other prehistoric beasts. Disney and Pepsi partnered to offer figures like Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Pluto, complete with highly-customized Mold-A-Rama units featuring miniature Disney characters that appeared to be operating parts of the machine. Across the various exhibits and pavilions, figures such as dolphins, alligators, NASA’s Space Lab and Project Mercury space capsule, presidential busts, and more were available for 50 cents each.

Mold-A-Rama went international in 1967 when it was featured at the Montreal World’s Fair, Expo ’67.

it was something that I could operate myself, quite amazing.

How the Mold-A-Rama worked was you put in fifty cents and then the machine would take over.

Ethanol Causes Problems For SmallEngine Tools

by Tim Carter

Syndicated Columnist

DEAR TIM: I’ve got a lawn mower, a snow blower and a garden tiller with small gasoline engines.

I’m about to purchase a log splitter that has one. I don’t want any problems and want to avoid any damage to the new engine and the existing ones. I’ve heard that the current gasoline with ethanol in it is really bad for small engines. Are the stabilizer products really good?

What is wrong with the ethanol? Are there alternative fuels that are smallengine friendly? -- Steve G., Monument, Colo.

DEAR STEVE: If we were playing small engine poker, I’d call your small engine machines and raise you a power washer! Yes, I’ve got a wide assortment of gasoline-powered equipment too. Small engines used to be the bane of my existence with hard-starting issues, but those days are long gone now that I know the truth about ethanol-based gasoline.

Recent survey results have shown that most consumers place a very high value on ease of starting and ease of maintenance with small engines.

One of the most important factors in ease of starting an engine is the fuel you put in it.

What you’ve heard about ethanol in gasoline is true.

Small engine repair shops love ethanol because it provides them with a steady stream of business. But if you get one of these shop owners to open

up with you, he’ll probably tell you he doesn’t use that gasoline in his own small engines.

Ethanol attracts water.

Water enters your fuel system in the air that enters the fuel tank as the gasoline is burned by the engine. The water is drawn into the gasoline, making See builder on 28

for a chemical mix that accelerates corrosion of metal parts in the engine.

When the fuel level is low in the tank, the water can condense on the cool surfaces of the tank. This water then runs down and gets into the gasoline. If enough water collects in the tank, it can get drawn into the engine, where it can cause the engine to run poorly.

Ethanol acts as a solvent in older engines and can dissolve old gum and varnish deposits from the gas tank and fuel lines. These deposits can then clog the very small orifices in the carburetor. If this happens, your good day turns bad very quickly, as your small engine will not start no matter how many curse words you hurl at it.

Gasoline can also oxidize or rust just like iron or steel. When gasoline oxidizes, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get orange flakes of rust; you get gum and varnish in the gasoline that causes clogs.

The reason you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have trouble with ethanol in most cars is because you tend to get new gasoline on a regular basis as you drive your car each day or every other day.

Most of the fuel stabilizer products do a great job of protecting small engines. These additives are primarily anti-oxidants.

They grab oxygen thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the gasoline, preventing it from turning into gum and varnish.

Really good stabilizers work not only in the liquid gasoline but in the air or vapor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on top of the gasoline in the partially filled gas tank. Look for stabilizer products that say they offer vapor technology to treat the air and vapor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floating above the gasoline in the tank.

Remember, this air contains water.

Very few people take the time to fill a small engine gas tank after each use.

Doing this minimizes the amount of available oxygen that can cause problems. When you decide to fill your small engine tank, always fill it to about 95 percent of the way so the gasoline wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expand and leak out of the garage, shed or patio gets hot from the sun.

If you have a can of older gasoline in your garage from the winter, summer or fall, just put it into whatever car or truck is driven the most. It will mix with the fresh gasoline and will not hurt your car if you get it filled up once the tank is near empty.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using a fuel stabilizer for the first time and have untreated gas in your small engine, start up the engine and allow it to run for about three minutes.

This allows treated fuel to be drawn up into the fuel lines and carburetor. You want stabilized gasoline to extend from the gas tank all the way up to the intake valve so you get no corro-

sion happening while the engine is in storage.

The good news is you can buy gasoline for your small engines that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contain ethanol. Many businesses that sell machines with small gasoline engines stock cans of ethanol-free gasoline that already has the stabilizer chemicals in it. Most people are unaware of this resource. You can even get these fuels for two-cycle engines with the two-cycle oil already added as well as the stabilizer.

Another resource is a local airport used by small aircraft. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll almost always find an FBO, or fixedbase operator, at these small to medium-sized airports. Airplanes that use gasoline have engines that will not tolerate ethanol, so the gasoline sold at these airports is free of the problem-causing ingredient.

If you take an approved fuel can, these businesses will almost always sell you the sweet nectar your small engine will devour.

The octane of this gasoline is higher, and your small engine will think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating a piece of double chocolate cake with mocha icing.

You know how that puts a smile on your face; imagine how happy your small engine will be! You should add the stabilizer to this ethanol-free gasoline if you decide to use it.

Postcard from the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. um we saw Sue the T-Rex, went back in time to see ancient artifacts from the Viking days and ancient Egypt with real mummies, displays of meteorites that had fallen and many more interesting exhibits too numerous to mention.

Our last stop was one of the gift shops where, while my wife shopped, I took a little stroll to a rather empty and unassuming section of the museum.

I stopped, my heart skipped a beat. Was that

Using the Mold-A-Rama at the Dinoland exhibit at the New York World’s Fair. fair from 25

came together and then, about a minute later, they would separate and there, in all its resplendent, little kid glory, was a miniature plastic dinosaur which would then be pushed into a hole and fall into a dispenser where you reached in and grabbed its still warm form as all yours.

I can remember staring at it in silence while my grandmother reveled in her well deserved reward.

Today, in this age of 3D printers, this seems less than amazing. But fifty years ago it was the cat’s pajamas. It was a wonderful thing. How could they ever come up with anything that could top this?

I’m sure that some of my memories from that World’s Fair are not exactly how they happened.

Long ago memories usually aren’t. But that memory of working that Mold-ARama and getting that miniature dinosaur are clear and sharp, over the years it has crossed my mind many times.

Last week, visiting Chicago for my stepsons college graduation, my wife and I visited the Field Museum, a natural history museum that is housed in one of the magnificent stone buildings that was built, coincidentally, in the 1890s for that decades World’s Fair. (If you’ve never read “Devil In The White City” you should, it gives a fascinating recounting of the building of the 1893 World’s Fair with a parallel story about an infamous son of Gilmanton, New Hampshire.)

While at the Field Muse-

really what I thought it was? Yes…it was a MoldA-Rama, an original machine from the 1960s. I approached it imagining it was just another “ancient” artifact on display.

There were two people in front of it and they were watching intently. The darn thing was actually working, making a miniature, plastic dinosaur.

Memories of the 1965 World’s Fair went barreling though my mind in an instant.

I anxiously waited for my wife to finish her shopping so I could show her and, of course, take a picture of me by this grand memory.

I would imagine that the Mold-A-Rama doesn’t get much use by kids today who are old enough to experience much more interesting things with their hand-held computers, but

29 to me, that day fifty years ago, it was still one of the coolest things in the world.

It wasn’t just what it did but it was that time in my life that it represented; my young mind so fertile and hungry for new things.

Seeing it again sparked so many memories of those visits to the World’s Fair; memories of my grandparents and memories of just being a little kid who had no trouble being amazed at everything and never doubting that anything was possible.

I hope that this may have sparked some of the same memories in at least a few of you.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, May 28, 2015 metzler from 7

UNESCO world heritage site, expanding its reign of regional terror.

Facing widening attacks on cultural properties, Germany and Iraq are cosponsoring a UN General Assembly resolution which would propose â&#x20AC;&#x153;a clear set of measures to end the destruction and looting of archaeological sites, historical buildings and cultural artifactsâ&#x20AC;? carried out by self-proclaimed Islamic State. Ambassador Heiko Thoms of Germany stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iraq is a cradle of our common civilization; we cannot leave it to face this challenge alone.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian challenge is daunting. Valerie Amos, the UN Humanitarian coordinator told the Security Council that in the past six months, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the number of Iraqis requiring humanitarian assistance has grown to over 8.2 million, an increase of three million in five monthsâ&#x20AC;Ś Half of the displaced are children.â&#x20AC;?

Amos stated clearly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conflict, targeted attacks on civilians and intimidation, often along ethnic and sectarian lines,

continue to plague the country,â&#x20AC;? adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women and girls continue to experience horrific acts of sexual violence, physical abuse, and enslavement.â&#x20AC;?

Following the fall of Ramadi, the UNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian agencies such as UNICEF stepped up aid to refugees.

Amos advised that despite the growing challenges, funding shortfalls have cut aid. Only eight percent of the $1.2 billion required for the year has been received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abandoning the victims of violence is unthinkable, more has to be done,â&#x20AC;? stated Lise Grande, a UN humanitarian coordinator.

Iraqi Amb. Mohamed Ali Alhakim warned that his country was facing an unprecedented challenge with â&#x20AC;&#x153;terrorists from over 60 countriesâ&#x20AC;? coming to Iraq. The Ambassador added, it was crucial to isolate terrorism by â&#x20AC;&#x153;choking it off.â&#x20AC;? He said his country was faced not only with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;savagery of terrorismâ&#x20AC;? but a humanitarian catastrophe.

For the U.S., the impending fate of a land where so much Ameri-

can blood, treasure, and political prestige was invested seems to have been squandered in vain.

The regional balance of power has shifted to the militants. Has anyone noticed?

In the end, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big revealâ&#x20AC;? was as emotional as you would expect. The home owner was shocked and grateful, almost disbelieving her eyes as she walked through her new front door. Her son didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

quite know what to make of the changes until he saw his new room, decorated to the theme he had chosen: Dr. Who. Grinning ear-to-ear, he checked out the framed posters, new bed, and desk in a room freshened with new paint

and carpet. And yes, there were tears.

None of this happened in New Hampshire. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a Rebuilding Together chapter in this state. But we will. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying the need for one right here in the Lakes Region, and we certainly have the talent. I told this story

to local business owners who are part of Gold Star, a business referral network to which I belong, and their response was positive and enthusiastic.

The core of a Rebuilding chapter will be built from this group. The national organization is restructuring its affiliate program,

so I let them know that New Hampshire is ready to start a chapter as soon as their new process is in place.

town University, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;coldhearted, free-market capitalist typesâ&#x20AC;? are people who â&#x20AC;&#x153;pretty much have more than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever be able to use and your family will ever be able to use,â&#x20AC;? so they should let the government take that extra money to help the poor.

Slippery use of the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;useâ&#x20AC;? seems to confine it to personal consumption. The real question is whether the investment of wealth is likely to be done better by those who created that wealth in the first place or by politicians.

The track record of politicians hardly suggests that

turning ever more of a nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth over to them is likely to turn out well.

It certainly has not turned out well in the American economy under Barack Obama.

not stand up under scrutiny means very little politically. After all, how many people who come out of our schools and colleges today are capable of critical scrutiny?

When all else fails, redistributionists can say, as Obama did at George-

Give me Cornell. You can have Gaylord Perry.

But a victory that resulted from cheating would later ring hollow—although one can rationalize anything.

(Ron Guidry and Goose Gossage were probably throwing illegal pitches for the Yankees!)

All of this, of course, brings us to New England Patriot Tom Brady and “Deflategate.” My sense is that it was all a “tempest in a teapot.” Did someone make some minor adjustments in ball air pressure that found favor with Brady? Sounds like it. Did this become the biggest story in the country largely because of wide-

Hampshire with numbers like these?

As Arlinghaus responds, “Very high corporate taxes coupled with ridiculous energy rates weed out an awful lot of jobs.”

Taxes and energy costs.

Two debilitating factors which New Hampshire needs to change if it wants to become a competitive state economy.

So, while the population here in New Hampshire is getting older, and students are finding a stagnant and depressed jobs outlook, how do the Progressives think we can keep up with the growing subsidy challenges here in our state?

Where will the money come from if NH business has such sluggish growth and our best and brightest choose to leave our state?

The answer is one we do not want to hear. TAXATION. (I can hear your moans from here.) Yes, indeed. Progressives think that taxation is the proverbial genie in the bottle. It can solve all problems. Except it does not. There is simply NEVER enough money for those who believe the taxpayer should be the ATM of subsidized programs and/or bad state fiscal budgeting or policies.
