What if the main road between the Weirs and Meredith, New Hampshire ran along side of Lake Winnipesaukee instead of the present route up and down the hills between the two communities? That is exactly what Laconia Mayor George E. Stevens proposed on May 17, 1926 in a letter to

the Evening Citizen. `The mayor suggested that the people ask the members of the state legislature to introduce a bill that would appropriate funds to build the lakeshore road “at once.” The proposed road would be an extension of Lakeside Avenue at the Weirs and would be built adjacent to the Boston & Maine railroad tracks where possible and provide a view of the lake as people drove to and See smith on 34

The screening will be 7-8 p.m at the museum, located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro. Filmmaker Tim Gray, a national award-winning director, producer and writer, made “A Company of Heroes” and 20 other documentaries on the personal stories related to World War II. Gray is

Author Of Motorcycle Week Murder Mystery at Annie’s Book Stop Annie’s Book Stop, located at 1330 Union Avenue in Laconia will be having a book-signing on June 9th from 11:002:00 featuring the Good Dr. Jack Polidoro who will be signing copies of his book: Tattoo: Incident at the Weirs. This is traditionally the beginning of Bike Week in the Lakes Region. Dr. Jack is a local author, singer and songwriter. SYNOPSIS OF TATTOO New Hampshire’s storied Weirs Beach turns deadly... a young woman’s body is found on the bucolic shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, just before the 83rd Annual Bike Week comes to town. News photographer, Don Wright, pursues the crime, researching journals of an elderly Weirs resident and Army veteran. From earlier motorcycle rallies, he discovers key clues that take him on a path of startling discoveries. Key among them is a tattoo, “Vincent,” that offers a clue to a suspect’s name. =Tattoo covers a lot of local history and the history of Bike Week in general which Jack states he found, “...on the internet.” The book would make a great gift for the motorcycle enthusiast, history buff, and Father’s Day (Dad) in your life! Come by the bookstore, talk motorcycles, writing, history, bike week or whatever and get yourself a signed copy of the book to gift to that special someone! Help us celebrate 95 years of Laconia Bike Week on opening day!

This show is packed with one Van Morrison classic after another. Cash bar. Patrons under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Ticket are $20-$25. The Opera House is located at 31 Wakefield Street, Rochester. www.rochesteroperahouse. com

“New England Lighthouses and the People Who Kept Them” The Rochester Historical Society has received a grant from New Hampshire Humanities to present New England Lighthouses and the People Who Kept Them by Jeremy D’Entremont on Thursday, June 14, at 7 PM at the Rochester Historical Society Museum at 58 Hanson Street in downtown Rochester. Everyone knows there’s “something about lighthouses” that gives them broad appeal, but their vital role in our history and culture is little appreciated. Our early nation was built on maritime economy, and lighthouses were part of the system that made that possible. Due to automation, traditional lighthouse keeping is a way of life that has faded into the past. Jeremy D’Entremont tells the history of New England’s historic and picturesque lighthouses primarily focusing on the colorful and dramatic stories of lighthouse keepers and their families. For more information, contact the Rochester Historical Society at 603 330-3099 or rochesterhistorical@metrocast. net.

I toured an interesting property we listed recently located at 78 Plymouth St in Meredith. From the outside it looked like an eye appealing antique Cape with an attached carriage house and oversized barn/ garage. Upon entering the property, I was amazed at the collection of antique clocks from all over the world – as well as antique boats, antique car restorations and other innovative mahogany boat/bar creations on site. What a fascinating collection! The guy behind the antique restorations (and the owner of the property) is an interesting and multitalented character. Jerry Harper Sr. moved up to the Lakes Region in 1978 with a background as an auto mechanic and a passion for antique boats. Jerry’s brother Charlie at that time lived on Lake Waukewan where Jerry developed an interest in boats and a fascination with the Lakes Region. It was then when in RVinnie ust Cab he met Callahan, y ic oz Jim Irwin, George John-

son, and Pat Curtain who did the movie on “Golden Pond.” These marina owners and visionaries opened up some major avenues for Jerry. Jerry moved behind the Tamarack Restaurant and started with antique restorations in a house and small shop at that location. However, the zoning would not allow him to do sales and restoration at that location so he moved up the road across from JB Scoops on Route 3 and purchased a commercial property in 1980 including a large house. He built 2 large garages and racks for the boat displays. Jerry became a member of the antique classic boat society and operated in this location for 30 years restoring hundreds of antique boats. He owned and worked on one that was built for Al Capone, one for President Roosevelt, and another out of the Henry Ford museum. He installed WWI V-12 aircraft engines in boats and also WWII V-12 Packard PT boat engines in antique boats. Jerry also did a lot of upholstery, canvas work, custom boat

To The Editor: Much has been said by politicians of all stripes as to why the country seem to be in such a funk and has taken a turn to be anti-everything. I believe that neither party has comprehensibly addressed the root cause and proposed adequate solutions, except at the edges. We are moving from an industrial economy to a post-industrial service/ information economy and we should, both from a moral and practical perspective, be responsible for helping those that are displaced and to help them to make as smooth a transition as possible. This will have economic benefits to the United States. We can look to history to see a similar situation. In the 1800s we moved from an agrarian society where 97% of the population was involved in agriculture to an industrial society where 3% of the population provide us food today. The issues of income inequality and populist fervor resonate with the issues of today. Politicians exploited the fears of the time and the workers and oligarchs of the time fought pitched battles where workers died. It ended with the Great depression of the 30s and World War II. Where a worker in the 50s could make a good living with a high school education, we now see that strata being hollowed

out. If jobs come back, they will be done by robots and the job required will be to maintain and program the robots. Let us, in a bipartisan way, identify the problems using agreed upon FACTS, then craft compromises to address the problems. Let us reject the siren call of the Music Man that promises easy fixes and work together to make Carroll County, New Hampshire and the United States, an even better place to live. “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.� John F. Kennedy John Morrissey Moultonborough, NH

Kneeling for the Flag To The Editor: On May 24, 2018, the press, specifically USA Today writes; “The NFL announced a controversial new national anthem policy that will force players to stand and show respect for the anthem or have the option to remain in the locker room instead of protesting on the field.� I love how they use the words “controversial� and “forced.� The players made it a controversy, starting with Colin Kaepernic, by just kneeling, and most fans didn’t know why. A protest is not off to a good start if you must explain it. As far as being “forced,�

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.

Just like my first job as a dishwasher at 16, I was “forced� to wash dishes. Then as an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force, I was “forced� to fix airplanes. How about the people who are “forced� to make sure the lights come on in our homes or the people who are “forced� to stock the shelves at the grocery store, or the people who are “forced� to drive the trucks, so those shelves can be filled. It’s called doing your job. Many NFL players are upset of the leagues new rule. One point being made is how the players union was not involved with this decision. On that aspect of the “controversy� I think the players have a litigate argument. However, that’s where my agreement with the players ends. I think the NFL attempted to put this issue behind them and get on with the job of just playing football. It appears the league may have failed, but remember who runs the league, Roger Goodell. Sorry to digress there. One player I take issue with is Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long, who has more of a problem with the opinion of President Trump than he does with NFL on this issue.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

N.A.S.T.Y. People

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

M a n y years ago, on these very pages, I started a new group to help Natives of New Hampshire. It never really got off the ground and I feel it is time to try and resurrect it. Of course, my most famous group, F.A.T.S.O. which I started with my friend Vinnie years ago has already cemented its place here in Central New Hampshire. F.A.T.S.O. stands for Flatlanders Adjusting To Solitary Oblivion and was established to help new transplants, otherwise known as Flatlanders, adjust to their first winters here. F.A.T.S.O has been fortunate enough to survive through membership fees and a few donations but, frankly, its further existence is threatened by increasing costs that are not keeping up with its income. (You’d think that four dozen donuts would take care of a meeting with twenty-one attendees, but it seems someone’s sticking few in their winter coats. I won’t name names.) Vinnie and I got together this past April and discussed ways of keeping F.A.T.S.O. afloat and we thought the best way to keep the greenbacks coming in was to bring back N.A.S.T.Y N.A.S.T Y stands for Natives Adjusting to Summer Tourists Yearly and its purpose is to help New Hampshire natives (as well at those who think they are…hey we are talk-

ing membership fees here) adjust to the overnight influx of summer tourists and residents. Tourists are often welcomed by natives the same way they welcome patches of Black Ice in the winter, they do their best to avoid them, but no matter how hard they try, they are bound to eventually meet both head on. No matter how you look at it, summer and fall tourists will always be here in Central New Hampshire and will cause a certain amount of stress. The purpose of N.A.S.T.Y is to help relieve that stress (and to fatten up our bottom line). We have been going over the guidelines for membership and we don’t have all the details on that yet, but we do know some of the big problems that we will be helping natives deal with in the summer season. (Leaf peepers are a little different breed and need an entire sub-section which we will have ready by Labor Day.) Among some of the topics we will be presenting PowerPoints on are. 1 How do I deal with more than six cars at a stoplight at one time? 2 Helping natives understand the two speeds that tourists drive: way too fast or way too slow. (Of course, we will only be discussing the “Too slow” speed in our leaf pepper seminars but, as I addressed earlier, this will be completely separate.) 3 Is that tourist from New York yelling at me or do they really talk that loud all the time? (I am hoping to get one or two of my New York cousins to give a live presentation. I just have to somehow show him a moose while he is here.) 4 Will I ever get used to not always getting “my” table at my favorite res-

5

taurant in the summer. (The answer is “no” but we will have a Reiki instructor on hand to give guidance on how to relieve your stress with touching techniques.) 5 What the heck is a Reiki instructor? 6 Is it proper to laugh out loud when a summer resident says: “Someday I am going to retire up here and open a restaurant?” 7 Why isn’t the day AFTER Labor Day considered the real holiday? Of course, there will be many more questions answered at N.A.S.T.Y meetings and we hope to have the first one in early July. (Next year we should start a bit earlier, but this year we really need to start getting those membership fees in.) We do realize that native New Hampshirites can be pretty stubborn people and are not ones to ask for help or advice even when they need it. Just let me say that we really plan to be there for you, as long as you are up-to-date on your membership, and any questions or concerns you may have will always be treated with the strictest confidence (unless they are really crazy). We are really hoping that N.A.S.T.Y takes off. It really is a niche that hasn’t been covered yet and Vinnie and I are really excited about getting it started up again. After all, that tourist or summer resident that we will be helping you understand better may one day come to live with you side-by-side, year-round. Better yet, they might just one day become a F.A.T.S.O. It’s a win-win. Here the audible version of this and other columns at www.BrendanTSmith. com

Step One to Stop False Accusations: Exposure Incontrovertible fact: People lie. They fudge little things, like their height or weight. They exaggerate their athletic by Michelle Malkin p r o w e s s o r Syndicated Columnist professional accomplishments. They deceive family, friends, lovers, voters, government officials, business partners and themselves. They lie about murder, theft, kidnapping, rape and discrimination. They lie for attention, deflection, power and profit. Often, the reasons for manufacturing devastating fables are indiscernible or unfathomable. But this much is clear: If there are no consequences for lying about crime, false accusations will continue to ruin the lives of innocents -- poor and rich, black and white, liberal and conservative, civilian and cop. According to the University of Michigan Law School’s National Registry of Exonerations, 2,224 innocent criminal defendants since 1989 have been cleared of all charges in their cases. The average prison term served by exonerees is 14 years. In total, wrongful convictions have cost exonerees 19,610 years of freedom since 1982. Wrongful convictions are based on a rotten foundation of lies and untruths constructed by a village of false accusers, including jailhouse snitches, biased investigators, corrupt crime lab analysts, faulty eyewitnesses, and ruthless prosecutors acting in bad faith. John Bunn, wrongfully con-

victed of assault and murder when he was just 14 years old, is just one of more than a dozen innocent citizens who became entangled in New York Police Department Det. Louis Scarcella’s nefarious web of deception. The infamous cop falsified evidence, suppressed evidence and coerced false confessions to ensure convictions and bolster his career as part of what one judge called a “pattern and practice” of misconduct demonstrating “disregard for rules, law, and the truth.” Bunn and co-defendant Rosean Hargrave, became the 12th and 13th exonerees who had been targeted by Scarcella, just this month. Daryl Fulton and Nevest Coleman each served nearly a quarter-century behind bars for a 1997 rape and murder of a woman in Chicago they did not commit. They endured physical abuse by detectives with a long history of coercing false confessions. Fulton and Coleman were released last November and granted certificates of actual innocence two months ago after post-conviction DNA testing and reinvestigation by the Cook County Conviction Integrity Unit cleared them -and instead implicated a repeat sexual offender who lived near the victim. Famed private attorney Kathleen Zellner, the most successful exoneration specialist in the nation, recently filed a civil rights lawsuit on Fulton’s behalf. She has won landmark settlements on behalf of exonerees Ryan Ferguson, wrongfully convicted of murder in Missouri, and former Washington state police officer Ray Spencer, wrongfully convicted of sexually

The Suicide Of Europe On Friday, the British police arrested Tommy Robinson, founder and former leader of the Engby Ben Shapiro lish Defence Synidcated Columnist League, a far-right anti-Islam group. Robinson is a controversial character, to be sure, a sort of Milo Yiannopoulos lite. His chief focus is on the threat of radical Islam, which he believes threatens the integrity of the British system. You don’t have to like Robinson. But whatever you think of him, his arrest is absurd by any measure. You see, Robinson was arrested for standing outside a court building and reporting on a trial involving the alleged grooming of young girls for sexual assault by radical Muslims. Now, what would be illegal about that, you ask? It turns out that Robinson was given a

suspended sentence last year for filming outside another court building, where a trial for alleged gang rape by radical Muslims was taking place. He wasn’t inside the courtroom. Nonetheless, the judge believed he was somehow biasing the jurors. According to the judge, Robinson was sentenced thanks to “pejorative language which prejudges the case, and it is language and reporting ... that could have had the effect of substantially derailing the trial.” This time, Robinson was again arrested for prejudicing a case, only he wasn’t inside the court building. He was outside. And the media were originally banned from reporting on his arrest so that his trial wouldn’t be biased. In other words, Britain has now effectively banned reporting that actually mentions the Islamic nature of criminal defendants for fear of stirring up bigotry -- and has banned reporting on reporting on such defendants. It’s an infinite regress of suicidal politi-

“Cops And Clergy” Join Forces To Fight Human Trafficking UNITED NATIONS

- The challenge is growing. The risk is widening. The stakes are stark. Those are some of the key takeaways by John J. Metzler from a UN Syndicated Columnist press briefing on an expanding and dangerous global challenge; human slavery and sex trafficking where forty million lives hang in a precarious balance between enslavement and freedom. The Santa Marta Group, an antislavery watchdog group, presented the briefing “Cops and Clergy” where Vincent Cardinal Nichols of Westminster, UK along with the British Anti-Slavery Commissioner, as well as the Chief of the Argentine National Police briefed correspondents and diplomats on the clear threat posed by traffickers who enslave vulnerable unfortunates both in the sex industry as well as unpaid agricultural and fishing work. Cardinal Nichols stated there’s growing cooperation between the Churches and the forces of law and order but the partnership must above all be based on “trust.” Given the breadth of the transnational challenge, it’s significant that both security as well as spiritual forces combine their efforts to help locate, free and then nurture those people caught in the web of

human traffickers. As Cardinal Nichols stressed, “This is an evil crime in an international scale… the figures are quite shocking. It is estimated that globally forty million lives are kept in conditions of servitude.” The Santa Marta Group, formed in 2014, comprises an alliance of international police chiefs and bishops from around the world working together with civil society in a process endorsed by Pope Francis, “to eradicate human trafficking and modern day slavery.” The Pope describes trafficking as “an open wound on the body of contemporary society…it is a crime against humanity.” “While there is a distinction between refugees, migrants and people who pay to be smuggled, there is an almost limitless supply of victims to be trafficked,” conceded Cardinal Nichols. General Commissioner Nestor Roncaglia of the Argentine Federal Police asserts, “trafficking transcends borders.” Combatting the scourge requires a “trusting partnership between the State and the Church.” Britain’s Anti-Slavery Commissioner Kevin Hyland elaborated; “When I was at the Metropolitan Police in the anti-trafficking group, I came to understand the power and capacity of the Church. The Church can do its part of offer solace to the victims while the police pursue the criminals.” “We also need to look at the In-

ternational stage; how do we get development to a country where people have no opportunity? To find the kind of development that takes away the power of the traf-

fickers and gives the community the opportunity to thrive?” “This is a major industry, a profitable organized network,”

Against Higher Education Today, all Americans are told, “Go to college!” President Obama said, “College graduation has never been more valuable.” by John Stossel But econoSyndicated Columnist mist Bryan Caplan says that most people shouldn’t go. “How many thousands of hours did you spend in classes studying subjects that you never thought about again?” he asks. Lots, in my case. At Princeton, I learned to live with strangers, play cards and chase women, but I slept through boring lectures, which were most of them. At least tuition was only $2,000. Now it’s almost $50,000. “People usually just want to talk about the tuition, which is a big deal, but there’s also all the years that people spend in school when they could have been doing something else,” points out Caplan in my new YouTube video. “If you just take a look at the faces of students, it’s obvious that they’re bored,” he says. “People are there primarily in order to get a good job.” That sounds like a good reason to go to college. But Caplan, in his new book, “The Case Against Education,” argues that there’s little connection between what we absorb in college and our ability to do a job. “It’s totally true that when people get fancier degrees their income generally goes up,” concedes Caplan, but “the reason why this is happening is not that college pours tons of job

skills into you. The reason is ... a diploma is a signaling device.” It tells employers that you were smart enough to get through college. But when most everyone goes to college, says Caplan, “You just raise the bar. Imagine you’re at a concert, and you want to see better. Stand up and of course you’ll see better. But if everyone stands up, you just block each other’s views.” That’s why today, he says, high-end waiters are expected to have college degrees. “You aren’t saying: you, individual, don’t go to college,” I interjected. “You’re saying we as a country are suckers to subsidize it.” “Exactly,” replied Caplan. “Just because it is lucrative for an individual doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for a country.” Caplan says if students really want to learn, they can do it without incurring tuition debt. “If you want to go to Princeton, you don’t have to apply,” he points out. “Just move to the town and start attending classes.” That’s generally true. At most schools you can crash college lectures for free. But almost no one does that. “In people’s bones, they realize that what really counts is that diploma,” concludes Caplan. Because that diploma is now usually subsidized by taxpayers, college costs more. Tuition has risen at triple the rate of inflation. It’s not clear students learn more for their extra tuition, but colleges’ facilities sure have gotten fancier. They compete by offering things like luxurious swimming pools and gourmet See stossel on 40

It will be led by the Laconia Police Department and wind its way along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and Paugus Bay to Laconia, NH. From Laconia, the group will ride south along Route 106 through Belmont, NH & Canterbury, NH to New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH. Once the group arrives at NHMS, they’ll gather in a parking lot near the front of the NHMS Main Office.

LACONIA motorcycle WEEK 2018 Fifth Annual Mae West Ride One of Motorcycle Week’s Big Events “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough,” Mae West. No truer words have been spoken that better define what the annual Mae West Pet Ride for the New Hampshire Humane Society on June 11th is all about. Now in it’s fifth year, the ride was conceived by Doug and Misty Asermely of Sick Boy Motorcycles in honor of the passing of Mae West, Bike Week Executive Director Charlie St. Clair’s beloved cat. Like her namesake, the orange tabby, who lived to be 17 years old, was vivacious and full of life and a true cat in every sense of the word. She would no doubt be thrilled to know that there she will live on and also help her fellow creatures through this fun

Doug Asermely conceived of the idea, along with his wife, Misty, to honor the passing of Mae West, Bike Week Executive Director, Charlie St. Clair’s beloved cat.

and adventuresome fund raising event. Since the inaugural ride in 2013, the numbers have increased steadily with more than $30,000 raised in total for the Society’s furtherance of care for homeless animals. And last year, we reached record heights with more than 170 riders raising $10,000 for the shelter! This year we hope to shatter that record with even more wheels on the road and of course help for our creatures. Sign up is on Monday morning at Rally Headquarters at the Weirs. From there it’s kickstands up for what promises to be a gorgeous ride. The road unwinds out to Loudon and a stop at the Miracle Mile” See RIDE on 13

KOVELS: ANTIQUES & COLLECTING Yellow Fan Clock Some of the most popular clocks made after 1944 in the mid-century modern style were designed by an architect and journalist. George Nelson (1908-1986) graduated with a degree in architecture in 1931. He went to Europe and wrote magazine articles praising the famous designers and introducing both their ideas and his to the U.S. He suggested the open-plan house, storage walls and family rooms, which all are popular today. Herman Miller, the furniture maker, asked him to become the design director of his company. And that was the beginning of his many stillcollected designs, like the “Marshmallow� sofa, “Coconut� chair and the “Ball� clock. Howard Miller Clock Co. produced over 30 different wall clocks based on his idea of an almost-round face with geometric additions or subtractions and simple hands. Some were just a group of sticks with colored balls at the end that radiated from the center to form a circle. There was no frame, no glass and no numbers. Each design for a clock was made in many different colors. The “Fan� clock was designed in about 1954. It looks like a folded star-shaped cutout. A yellow Fan clock sold for $3,625 at the Los Angeles Modern auction in Van Nuys, California, in 2016. A black version sold at the same auction brought only $2,250. The original clocks ran on electricity, but you can substitute a battery so no cord will show. Save and reinstall the old parts before you sell the clock or

1961. Standard Brands merged with Nabisco in 1981. Some of the Mr. Peanut jars have been reproduced. These jars sell for $5 to $10 each. *** CURRENT PRICES

Soap dish, Union Porcelain Works, white, green transfer emblem, oval, rolled rim, marked, c. 1905, 3 1/2 x 5 inches, $25. Doorstop, mouse, sitting up, cast iron, painted, shaped base, bottom lined with felt, c. 1905, 4 inches, $60. Bread slicer, cast iron,

turned wooden handle and slice tray, curved blade, Alexanderwerk, Germany, 1930s, 11 x 15 inches, $160. Mandolin, wood with gilt designs, steel strings, serpentine top and turned handle, American Music Co., 1800s, 22 x 13 inches, $240.

This yellow “Fan� clock designed by George Nelson for the Howard Miller Clock Co. brought $3,625 at auction. It originally was made to run on electricity, but batteries can be substituted so the cord doesn’t show. the value will be less. *** Q: I have three Mr. Peanut glass jars with “Planters,� a picture of Mr. Peanut and “75th anniversary� embossed on both sides. They are about 8 1/4 inches tall and have lids. The dates 1861 and 1906 also are on the jars. What are they worth? A: You’re reading one of the dates wrong. The 75th anniversary of Planters was in 1981. If you read 1981 upside down, it looks like 1861. The company started as Planters Nut and Chocolate Co. in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1906. Mr. Peanut was adopted as a trademark in 1916. The company was bought by Standard Brands in

LEBRON THE GREAT Da Vinci. Beethoven. Edison. Alexander the Great. History features incredible people. Artists, inventors, geniuses and world conquerors. While the aforementioned are all long-gone, they’re immortalized by deeds which shaped our world and culture. Do any such giants walk among us in 2018? Basketball superstar Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers is arguably such a giant, literally and figuratively. He may not have invented the light bulb or conquered the world, but this hoop genius/artist has left a mark on the sports universe like no other. LeBron’s won three NBA championships, three NBA Finals MVP Awards, four NBA Most Valuable Player Awards, two Olympic gold medals, and is the all-time NBA playoff scoring leader. A 14-time NBA All-Star, three-time All-Star Game MVP, 12time All-NBA first team member, and five-time All-Defensive first team member, James won the NBA Rookie-of-the-Year Award as well as an NBA scoring title. After watching him lead the Cavaliers to playoff series wins over Indiana, Toronto, and our Boston Celtics, one has to wonder who has ever been a better all-around basketball player. The conventional wisdom saw Michael Jordan as basketball’s GOAT (Greatest of All Time.) But LeBron is a force of nature

LeBron James who can do anything on the court, play any position, and cover any opponent. Michael couldn’t play inside or cover behemoths the way LeBron does. James came to the NBA as a teenager straight out of high school in 2003. He led the Cavs to the NBA Finals in 2007. After moving to the Miami Heat, he helped them to two titles. Then he opted to return to his native Ohio to help the Cavaliers win the 2016 NBA title, the first title that the city of Cleveland celebrated in decades. His dogged clutch performance in those 2016 Finals against Golden State was one for the ages, as he carried the underdogs past the defending champions. While we’d prefer watching the Celtics against the Warriors in the championship round, it’s no small consolation to be watching basketball’s GOAT in the NBA Finals for the seventh straight year. And consider that this basketball genius works his artistry despite being pushed, shoved, harassed and screamed at by thousands of people. How well would Da Vin-

ci or Beethoven perform if people were knocking them down or booing them as THEY performed THEIR artistry? BASEBALL’S AFRICAN-AMERICANS Alert reader Bill Lamb of Meredith took issue with

A harbor is a place for marine vessels to find shelter from rough seas. They are usually man-made by the construction of rock jetties and contain mooring fields, shipping or fishing piers, and boat launches. Harbors often consist of a mud or sand bottom and are usually fed by rivers or estuaries that attract many different species of fish, such as alewives, mackerel, squid, striped bass, and winter flounder. Boats and fish aren’t the only things attracted to harbors though. Anglers are equally attracted because of the fish-catching potential. Harbors can be virtual gold mines when it comes to fishing, especially for winter flounder. The New Hampshire coast consists of four major harbors and a large estuary. From south to north are Hampton/Seabrook Harbor, Rye Harbor, Little Harbor, and Portsmouth Harbor. All are fed by major rivers or estuarine waters. Follow the Piscataqua River and you will come to Great Bay, a large estuary that is one of the most popular striped bass fishing destinations in New Hampshire and is also home to winter flounder. On the Maine side of Portsmouth Harbor is Pepperell Cove in Kittery, another well-known flounder fishing spot. While the New Hampshire coast is only 17 miles long, it’s home to some very good flounder fishing. The winter flounder is one of the most common fish found in New Hampshire harbors. The mud or

A limit of flounder will provide several meals. sand bottoms, steady supply of food from inflowing rivers, and protection from rough seas makes them a great place for flounder, and flounder anglers. Successful management by state agencies has allowed flounder numbers to rebound after a steep decline during the 1980s. Today, flounder numbers are still on the rise, bringing about a resurgence of anglers hoping to catch them. A light saltwater spinning setup is all you need to catch flounder from a boat or kayak. Two-hook flounder rigs are a favorite rig and can be purchased at most tackle shops. Tip your hooks with sea worms or clam strips, but earth worms will also work in a pinch, leaving a small trailer of bait hanging off to create movement as you drift or slowly retrieve your line. Use as little weight as you can while still being able to keep your bait on the bottom, usually one ounce. Anchoring and chumming, or drifting, are all effective ways to catch winter flounder from a boat or kayak. Flounder like structure, so the moorings in a harbor are like flounder magnets,

giving them a place to get out of the ebbing and flowing tide and wait for food to drift by. Overcast days with light wind will typically be the best fishing days, and timing your trip so that the wind and the tide are in the same direction

New Hampshire seems to have a never-ending supply of new breweries for us all to try. This, in part, is due to the welcoming atmosphere and ever-easing of laws to enable new brewers to get into the game. Not since before Prohibition has the number of breweries in this state been so high. The climate is rich for more success and happy patrons are always looking to taste the next new brew. So with this idea in mind, we will focus on a pretty new brewery gaining acclaim. Open just two years, Pipe Dream Brewing, 49 Harvey Road in Londonderry, has attracted a lot of attention with more and more loyal fans appreciating their great beers. Co-owner Jon Young says he has had a ‘pipe dream’ of owning a craft brewery for years and has finally achieved that. John Bacheller, coowner, brings another angle of both home brewing and business experience. Together, they created the cool vibe of surfing big waves (of flavor) and outdoor games while enjoying great pub food, musical events and of course, delicious brews made on site. Sampling all of their available and continuously rotating taps is a must and flights or 4 oz samples are for the asking.

in weight-lifting at gyms around the country implying that body builders might be using “juiceâ€? or drugs to enhance their abilities in their efforts to lift more weights‌ yah, I know, weird right? But if you think of the idea that New England Style IPA’s are juice bombs from dry hopping to achieve lots of aroma from those hops, the term kinda sticks. Typically, New England IPA’s are anywhere from slightly hazy to dank and murky. Juicin’ delivers a beautiful orange hue with slightly haziness of an afternoon setting sun, brilliant white frothy head and aromas that jump out of the glass. Since this is a double IPA with a 9% ABV, there is plenty of malt backbone to balance out the abundant hopforward taste. Aromas and taste compliment one

another. A lingering bite at the end of the taste has you coming back for more. Available in 16 oz four packs, U Juicin’ Bro may be one of your new mainstays. Pipe Dream beer can always be found at Casen-Keg, 5 Mill St, Meredith. Although BeerAdvocate. com has not officially rated this beer, many of their other offerings have scored over 3.75 to 4.20 out of 5.0 rating system. Seek this and all of Pipe Dream’s beer. The colorful labels and attractive artwork are only the tip of the surfboard; the true flavor is just a wave away!

wrote; “This is fear of a diminished bottom line. It’s also of a President turning his base against a corporation. This is not patriotism. Don’t get it confused. These owners don’t love America more than the players demonstrating and taking real action to improve it. It also lets you the fan, know where our league stands I will continue to be committed to affecting change with my platform. I’m someone who’s always looked at the anthem as a declaration of ideals, including the right to peaceful protest. Our league continues to fall short on the issue.� I’m not a professional writer and I won’t get enough space here to write everything I disagree with on the elegant tweet by Chris Long. I do however have a right to my opinion, just as you do Mr. Long. I understand the point you and the other NFL players are making. On the other hand, you may be diminishing the bottom line. The fans do not care about your political stance on any issue nor do we care about your feelings “during the game.� We pay good hard-earned money to come and watch a football game. The anthem is a time to show respect to a nation, the flag and its people. You and other professional athletes have a talent to play a game at such a high level that people pay to watch. In my opinion, too many athletes take that for granted. If you want to

peacefully protest, here’s an idea. While 50,000 fans are trying to leave the HFL stadium parking lots, the players can stand, or kneel, at the exits and hold up signs. Then we’ll know exactly what it is you are protesting. Chris Long is correct, he has the right to peaceful protest, but I have the right to feel he’s wrong, I have the right to feel he is disrespecting the flag, and I also have the right to feel kneeling during the national anthem, is the wrong time and place to protest. The NFL also has rights. It has the right to protect its brand. It has the right to tell you, because you are an employee, not to make political statements during the anthem. The league and I want you to catch the ball, throw the ball, kick the ball and make a tackle. In other words, do your job! Chris Long and every other pro athlete should keep this in mind. The owners do not pay your salary. We the fans pay your salary. We buy the tickets, we buy the beer and food at the games, we buy the merchandise, we pay for the cable subscriptions which is how the owners get the money to pay you, the players. If the players don’t like being “forced� to stand for the anthem, they can always quit the NFL and get a job paving our streets. That’s also a right you have in this country.

molesting his own children -- the result of lies told by a vengeful ex-wife who was having an affair with a conniving police detective overseeing the investigation. Despite a complete lack of physical evidence, forensic evidence or corroborating witnesses, New Yorkers VanDyke Perry and Gregory Counts served 11 years and 26 years respectively for an alleged gang rape in 1992. Their convictions, vacated just this month, were based solely on the account of a woman who recanted years later and blamed a boyfriend for pressuring her into making it all up. The liar will face no charges because

the statute of limitations has expired. Question: If accusers can level rape and other claims decades after a purported crime occurs, why shouldn’t the statute of limitations on prosecuting lies about crimes and seeking civil redress against all enablers be extended proportionally, too? This summer, I’ll dedicate a special series of columns and CRTV.com videos to false allegations against innocent men and women of all backgrounds. And I’ll continue my investigative reporting on the ongoing wrongful conviction nightmare of AsianAmerican and former Oklahoma City police

officer Daniel Holtzclaw, which was built on a super-sized Jenga tower of police bias, investigative incompetence, prosecutorial misconduct, media malpractice, pre-trial publicity-stoked mob rule, forensic failures and unprecedented courtroom secrecy. Incontrovertible reality: These travesties happen in Democratic-controlled big cities and the rural South alike; by bad cops and to good cops; at the hands of white and black prosecutors, judges and ill-trained experts and investigators of all stripes. What’s shocking is not that these injustices are routine, but that public amnesia sets in every time accusers level sen-

sational allegations of crimes in the court of public opinion before all the facts are known. Witness the knee-jerk social media conviction of innocent white Texas state trooper Daniel Hubbard by anti-cop advocate and former New York Daily News columnist Shaun King, who spread uncritically the false claims of a black woman who lied about Hubbard raping her during a traffic stop. The admitted liar, Sherita Dixon-Cole, will not be prosecuted based on a technicality. Incredibly, King is reportedly moving on to a job with the Harvard-affiliated Fair Punishment Project, which in part conducts research to prevent more wrongful convictions. Reform begins with confronting, instead of denying, reality. The cure for ignorance is exposure.

Bias of all kinds destroys lives. People lie about everything under the sun. Women do lie about rape. Judges, prosecutors and police are not infallible. The system does fail. The good news is that each of us is capable of helping amend and avert these wrongs. The bad news is that no one is ever safe. Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigates� on CRTV. com.

These journalists toured the Granite State for a week and, along with the sight-seeing, attended a number of receptions and banquets.

Winant and Boy Scouts lining the road carrying large flags as they crossed the state line on the Daniel Webster Highway. The group was travelling on four big busses provided by the Boston & Maine Transportation Company, and attended a luncheon at the Nashua Country Club. Nashua mayor Earon D. Sargent greeted them on behalf of the city. Big

crowds welcomed the editors and publishers as they travelled through Nashua with children at the Catholic orphanage on the lawn vigorously waving flags.

made their way to Keene, where they arrived at eight o’clock and were treated with “ eating and speechmaking.” A few days later New Hampshire’s special guests, representing 43 states, were entertained by the City of Laconia. The steamer Mount Washington, with Captain Lavallee at the helm, took the news people on a trip on Lake Winnipesaukee, after which they enjoyed a banquet at the Tavern where Mayor Stevens and Congressman Fletcher Hale spoke to them. Local products were put on display at the Tavern. Among the items shown was a “monster exhibit of hosiery” by the G.H.Tilton Sons Company, a 300 needle knitting machine by Scott& Williams Company which was operated by Alfred Vezina who was making stockings, and a jacket made to fit around the base of telephone poles to prevent decay, which was patented by the Laconia Car Company. The guests were given souvenirs of a

The steamer Mount Washington, with Captain Lavallee at the helm, took the news people on a trip on Lake Winnipesaukee miniature shoe and fancy silk golf stockings. About a month later, in August of 1926, a headline in the Laconia Evening Citizen read “ Visitors Shower Lavish Praise For N.H. Beauty and Hospitality.” The newspaper shared comments sent to city officials from some of the editors and publishers who had toured the state a

month earlier. Edward H. Winter, President of the Missouri Press Association, wrote : “On our recent tour we visited places of interest in 16 states, but nowhere did we find Nature so lavish in her beauty and charm, nor the people so genuine and fine as in New Hampshire. I shall never be satisfied until I can go back to your wonderful

state and see more of its wonders and places of intense historical interest.” Ernest Camp, President of Georgia Press said “ I am indebted to New Hampshire for one of the most delightful trips of my experience. ..The trip to New Hampshire was both a revelation and a delight, and every member of the party had the time of his life.”

The year 1926 also included a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Governor John C. Winant asked the schools in New Hampshire to set aside time June 2nd to have a special program to celebrate and teach the children about the meaning of the declaration. Children in Concord were to parade in honor of the anniversary. The Governor asked every school in the state to do something on June 2nd in anticipation of the coming July 4th celebration. He said: “ Let the children learn of New Hampshire’s patriotism in the past, so that through them it may continue to shed glory upon our mountain land.” New Hampshire citizens in 1926 were anxious to share the beauty of the state with others and found that another of its attractants was its people.

cal correctness. But at least the Europeans have their priorities straight: While it’s perfectly legal to lock up a provocateur covering a trial involving Muslims, the European Union is now considering a ban on products like cotton buds, straws and other plastics for fear of marine litter. And just as importantly, it’s now perfectly legal to kill unborn children again in Ireland, where voters -- with the help of a cheering press -- decided to lift the ban on abortions until the 20th week, condemning thousands of children to death. This is how the West dies: with a tut-tut, not with a bang. The same civilization that sees it as a fundamental right to kill a child in the womb thinks it is utterly out of bounds to film outside a trial involving the abuse of children, so long as the defendants are radical Muslims. The Europeans have elevated the right to not be offended above the right to life; they’ve elevated the right to not be offended above the right to free speech, all in the name of some utopian vision of a society without standards. Discarding those standards was supposed to make Europeans more free; it was supposed to allow Europeans to feel more comfortable. But

the sad truth is that no society exists without certain standards and Europe has a new standard: enforcement of its “tolerance� via jail sentence, combined with tolerance of multiculturalism that sees tolerance itself as a Trojan horse. The notion of individual rights sprang from European soil. Now they’re beginning to die there.

PET OF THE WEEK “Jayde”

Jayde is a mix between two very beautiful, strong, and smart breeds. But what do you get when you mix these two breeds together in a dog that has been neglected, under socialized, and has lacked proper guidance? A pup that is extremely fearful and misunderstood. Jayde is very nervous in new situations and with new people. Although she is very scared at first and doesn’t necessarily show herself as the best puppy in the world, once you get to know her you will see another softer and more relaxed side of her! Around people she loves and trusts, Jayde likes to give hugs and get lots of pats. She really just need someone that is willing to help her work through her reactivity and build up her confidence. A home with experienced dogs owners and adults that understand fear based behaviors and are willing to advocate for Jayde would be the best fit! After all, Jayde is just a puppy that has lacked proper love, training, and socialization. Won’t you be her saving grace?

which Commissioner Hyland says makes criminals $150 billion annually.” But such organized crime thrives “where there is poverty and people don’t have rights this is more likely to happen. Now 73 percent of trafficked persons are women. It’s thus a gender issue too,” he adds. Interestingly several countries, including Belgium, the UK and Serbia, trafficking for labor exploitation has overtaken sexual exploitation as the main form of human trafficking, according to the Santa Marta group. The U.S. State Department asserts; “Human trafficking is one of the most tragic human rights issues of our time. It splinters families, distorts global markets, undermines the rule of law, and spurs other transnational criminal activity. It threatens public safety and national security.” Commissioner Hyland stressed, “People who are victims of modern slav-

ery should never be prosecuted.” The Cardinal concurs, “Trust between agents of the police and trafficked people must be established. In London that trust was that victims would be treated as victims and not as criminals. Only when you get to that point that we see victims can testify against their traffickers.” When this correspondent asked which particular region of the world is the source of most trafficking, Commissioner Hyland asserted, “Asia remains the major source of trafficking, but Nigeria in West Africa is high too.” Cardinal Nichols confirms, “One principal became very clear; there is no nation that is not Both a nation of origin of trafficking as well as a nation of destination, None of us are out of this. We might think of this as a Third World problem. This is everywhere and none of us are outside the loop.” Suffice to say if this sounds fuzzy, focus for a moment on the upcoming

FIFA World Cup football matches in Russia which shall provide a lucrative venue for sexual trafficking and prostitution. So too does the American Super Bowl. Cardinal Nichols implored, “We need to recognize that organized crime is precisely that: organized. We are not. ” John J.
