Wounded Warriors Find The Lakes Region To Be The Perfect Place by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Webber, a former Lt. Colonel in Special Forces, agreed and went to work recruiting folks in the Gilford area who could help in setting up and running the programs and Camp Resilience was born. “I found a lot of veterans who wanted to help other veterans as well as non-
veteran volunteers,” said Webber. The idea was to use the Lakes Region of New Hampshire as Camp Resilience’s home base and provide sports and life skills training for wounded warriors. Besides activities like downhill and cross country skiing, water skiing, Aerial Treetop adventures and more there are also life skills sessions including developing stronger family ties and community relaSee resilience on 20

The Lakes Region of New Hampshire has always proven to be the perfect respite for those looking for that great vacation spot to unwind. Since May of 2014 it has also proven to be the ideal location for many who have served our country in helping them bounce back in mind, body and spirit. The idea for Camp Resilience, run by the Patri-
ot Resilient Leadership Institute (PRLI) was started when Kurt Webber, who is President of PRLI, was skiing at Gunstock in 2013 with Gregg Martin. Martin, a retired Two Star Major General, mentioned that he thought the Lakes Region would be a great place to run programs for wounded warriors.
T
Veterans join with volunteers of Camp Resilience atop Pine Mountain in Alton, NH. Now in its third year, this program to help wounded warriors in all aspects of life has become a huge success. Now the group looks to expand its operations courtesy Photo to help more of those who have served their country.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
One For The Old Guys
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
There has been a lot of controversy lately about bathrooms and who can use which ones. I am not here to criticize or praise any of the groups that are involved in this controversial subject, but I am here today to make the case for my own group and our needs which are being totally ignored. Of course I am talking about all of us men that are sixty or older. I know, I know, sixty is not considered old in this day and age and I agree. Many of our forefathers were lucky to make it out of their forties and fifties alive. Great progress in medicine and sanitation have helped modern man live happy and healthy lives well into their later decades. Still, there is the inevitability of certain things that, though they might not slow us down that much, they are still a part of aging and need to be addressed on a social level. That is why I am calling for age specific bathrooms, especially for men. When we older men were younger, we never realized how good we had it when it came to answering the call of nature. It could be anywhere from a grimy rest room at a highway rest stop to a plush experience at The Plaza. It might be the Porta Potties at the Weirs during Bike
Week, the horse troughs at Fenway Park, a nice oak tree off the side of the road, we didn’t care. It was always a quick in and out and we were back to work doing the foolish things that young men do. As we got older and we grew in mind and spirit and in other parts of our bodies as well, we began to realize how good we once had it. We were now in our fifties and sixties and seventies and things were beginning to slow down. We began to pay attention more to our lives because, let’s face it, it seemed like we had no choice but to stand around occasionally and just think. We no longer were in a rush to get back to the foolish things of young men and even if we were, some things were holding us back. The grimy rest areas, Bike Week Porta Potties, the troughs at Fenway and the giant oaks were still at our disposal, but we began to avoid them in order to seek out a few more of The Plazas. Still, the call of nature waits for no man and so us older men are often forced to meet it head on with anything that is available, often sharing our time with those much younger who don’t understand our ways. “Hey Pops, you gonna take all day,� is often the taunt us older and wiser men must endure from those younger and so self assured who wait behind us in a crowded rest room. “C’mon old man, let’s move it� is another that many of my peers experience on a regular basis. We don’t need to take this. We have paid our dues, given of our time, paid enough i n t o t h e system to at least be allowed to be treated with a little more decency.
That is why I am calling for a movement to have all public places to provide age specific bathrooms so as to provide the dignity and respect us elders deserve. Fifty and older? Sixty and older? That is all to be worked out. I’m sure those in the Congress and Senate will be on our side. Many of them have been there long enough to have reached this stage of life themselves. (Maybe that’s why there is a bit of animosity between those elder statesmen and their younger colleagues. I hear the rest rooms at the Capitol are magnificent, but what good are they if you are always being rushed?) Of course, like anything, there will be controversy. Can a young man of twenty-one wake up one morning after a night of indulging, put his hands to his throbbing head and proclaim: “Man, I feel like I’m sixty this morning� and then have the right to use our rest room? I’m hoping not, but there will be battles like this to face along the way. I realize this is a sensitive subject and, well, most would be afraid to even write about it, but someone has to take a stand and I’m happy to be that person. So, older guys, won’t you join with me in my quest to give us what is our due? The time is right for a revolution. We will take it to the streets if necessary, as long as we are home by 8pm.

To the Voters and Residents of Gilford and Meredith I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the voters of Gilford and Meredith for their support, in electing me to the House Of Representatives for the term of 2015 and 2016. Because of business and family commitments, I have decided to forego running for another term this year. However, because my term does not expire until December, I expect to full-fill my obligation as one of your representatives u ntil that time. Please contact me at my state site— ghurtstateleg@gmail.com with any questions you may have concerning past or existing legislation. Further, please know, time and obligations permitting, I will actively participate in helping my fellow Republican incumbents in their efforts to become re-elected and the two new candidates running in both Gilford and Meredith. I would hope, voters of both towns, will look favorably upon the current incumbents, Glen Aldrich, of Gilford and Herb Vadney of Meredith. Along with Glen and Herb, there are two new comers. Norman Silber of Gilford, and Marc Abear of Meredith. I know these two gentlemen personally, and can attest, they will bring experience, knowledge and

Judeo-Christian Culture To the Editor: Leftists don’t seem to think our nation’s Judeo-Christian culture, which they constantly denigrate, is anything special; that all cultures, e.g., Mexican, Muslim, Chinese, etc., are as good as ours. I believe our JudeoChristian based culture is exceptional as it forms the basis for our cordial, tolerant, and productive society and our successful people. What could be better than a society based on the Golden Rule, “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you?” Nevertheless, with our limited knowledge, how would we compare cultures? People with ultimate power over others, e.g., Castro, other dictators, and some Muslim clerics, probably think their cultures are nearly perfect. However, the people they kill, enslave, rape, starve, the homo-

Are there absolute values that would help judge a culture? How about slavery and treatment of political critics and opponents, women, and minorities? Slavery was common practice in the world until the Christian/Western nations outlawed it in the 1800s, completely in the US in 1865. Slavery remained legal in some Muslim countries until nearly 2000. Slavery, or something very close to it, is still tolerated, if not officially legal, in various places, e.g., in ISIS territory, in some poor countries such as Haiti, and allegedly even in Saudi Arabia. Overly vocal critics of government or officials in some countries disappear, are imprisoned, re-educated, or killed, e.g., Russia, China, Cuba. Unfortunately we have started seeing our own government’s power used against political opponents, e.g., harassment of people in organizations applying for non-profit status. For political advantage some American women and minorities complain about discrimination rather than taking their cases to court; gender, race, religion, and nationality based discrimiSee mail boat on 28

August of 1916, became a Registrar of Deeds in Belknap County and, according to census records, appears to have served as an office manager for the New England Milk Producers Association and as a Postmaster. His wife, Elizabeth, is listed as having been an Assistant Postmaster. Previous to his marriage he was town clerk in New Hampton when his father was the moderator. Herbert M. Thyng’s signature is on a marriage certificate as a witness to the marriage of A.Kenneth Ober and Ethel Allen. who became prominent New Hampton residents, in the year 1916. Mr. Ober also was elected a selectman in the town. However, as one Thyng leads to another, the son, grandson, and greatgrandson of the afore

Born in Laconia on April 12th, 1918 and later residing in Pittsfield, N.H., he was a World War II flying ace who has made his family, home state, and the country he served proud.

Not so long ago, in the year 1860, Jeremiah B. Thyng moved from Gilford, New Hampshire to live in the town of New Hampton where he became a member of the Free Will Baptist Church and became one of the selectmen of the town. Jeremiah and his wife Hannah had a son, Charles Davis Thyng, who reached his 15th birthday the year his family moved to New Hampton. Charles Davis Thyng grew to adulthood and became a prominent citizen in New Hampton. He was a druggist who sold medicines in the town. There are medicine bottles still in existence with C.D. Thyng’s name on them. I would be interested to know if any of the readers possess one or more of his bottles. Mr. Thyng was also a prominent town leader serving as the postmaster, tax collector, selectman and moderator at town meetings.

Florida: America’s Jihad Playground The home of the “Happiest Place on Earth” has been breeding killer jihadists and Muslim zealots for years. Omar Maby Michelle Malkin teen, the coldSyndicated Columnist blooded mass murderer who gunned down 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub and wounded 53 more before police took him out late Sunday, may have worked alone. But he operated in the larger context of a teeming, terror-coddling paradise. While tourists from around the world soak up sunshine and dreams at Disney World, Islamic extremism festers around them. Schools: The Muslim Students Association, founded by the radical Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood whose stated purpose is to wage “grand jihad” on America, is active at the publicly funded University of Central Florida in Orlando. The group defiantly brought un-indicted terror co-conspirator Siraj Wahhaj to campus. He’s the black Muslim convert and inflammatory imam tied by federal prosecutors to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and New York City landmarks bombing plots. Wahhaj served as a character witness for convicted terror mastermind Omar Abdel Rahman (the Blind Sheik), called for replacement of America’s “constitutional government with a caliphate” and roots for our nation to “crumble” so Muslims can take over. UCF funded a Muslims “da’wa” (conversion) seminar and with an endowment by the Saudi-supported International Institute of Islamic Thought sought to create an Islamic Studies chair to “help the
Ummah regain its intellectual and cultural identity and re-affirm its presence as a dynamic civilization.” The IIIT, also a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, donated at least $50,000 to a “think tank” run by Sami al-Arian that served as a front group for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. While al-Arian, a Muslim Brotherhood member dating back to the 1980s, served as a computer science professor at Tampa’s University of South Florida, he toured the country raising money for terrorism overseas. Investigative reporters and the feds caught al-Arian on tape inciting his attendees against, America, Israel “and their allies until death.” The left-wing academic pleaded guilty to a terror-fundraising conspiracy charge in 2006. Al-Arian brought Palestinianborn Ramadan Shalah to teach at USF and head his “think tank” for a spell. Shalah left the school in 1995 and resurfaced as head of Syria’s Islamic Jihad. He remains one of the FBI’s most wanted indicted terrorist fugitives. Apologist officials at USF, first exposed by counter-jihad researcher Steve Emerson as America’s “Jihad U,” turned a blind eye to the terror helpers among them. Mosques: Mateen’s homicidal hatred for gays didn’t exist in a vacuum. Mateen’s neighborhood mosque in nearby Fort Pierce, Florida, was also the house of worship of Moner Abu-Salha, an American jihad recruiter and suicide bomber who blew himself up in Syria last year. The Palm Beach Post reported this week that Abu-Salha had posted videos of an imam’s death-to-gays rant on Facebook. Marcus Dwayne Robertson (a.k.a. Abu Taubah), a former

country awash with automatic weapons, overwhelmed by warring militias, and lacking an effective by John J. Metzler central governSyndicated Columnist ment, there’s little wonder why global terrorist groups such as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have found fertile ground for expansion. In the aftermath of the chaos which following the brutal civil war which toppled the Gaddafi regime almost five years ago, this giant North African country bordering the Mediterranean presents both a political power vacuum as well as a streamlined route for refugees flooding into southern Europe. The UN Security Council unanimously approved a crackdown on weapons smuggling into Libya as to stem the flow of arms where there are three guns for every citi-

These shipments must stop if there is any serious hope of bringing peace to Libya.” While reaffirming its strong commitment to the “sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and national unity of Libya” the UN resolution, reiterated its “grave concern at the growing threat of terrorist groups in Libya proclaiming allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Da’esh”, as well as other groups with Al Qaida affiliations. The Resolution also warned about the flow of foreign fighters into the conflict. Illegal arms smuggling by sea, in violation of a previous arms embargo, has kept the political pot boiling and helped supply ISIL.

The Immigration Joke Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Pakistani and an Afghani walk into a bar... Oh, wait, not a bar, a US/ by Ken Gorrell Mexico borNorthfield, NH. der checkpoint. No, wait: They simply walked into the United States at an unguarded section of our southern border... and now the joke isn’t so funny. In fact, it’s deadly serious. As the Washington Times reported on June 3rd, five Pakistanis and an Afghani, aided by Brazilian and Mexican smugglers, made it 15 miles into our country before being caught by Border Patrol agents. One might ask why the agents even bothered. Though these foreign men entered our country illegally, and the Afghani was flagged in an FBI terrorist database, they all made asylum claims. The Afghan man was held, but the five men from Pakistan were released. Will it surprise you to learn that they have since disappeared? News stories like this help to fuel our unhealthy debate on immigration policy. Competing interest groups, disinformation, emotion -- and of course, the national security angle -- all conspire to hinder open and rational dialog. Add in the usual election-year posturing, and it seems unlikely that we’ll resolve the issue to anyone’s satisfaction until voters send a clear message
to Washington. Which is to say, not anytime soon. We all learned in school that we’re a nation of immigrants, and to an extent it’s true. But the trouble with the “nation of immigrants” mantra is that it glosses over the historical record, failing to account for the unique circumstances that drove immigration policy since the Founding. Talking about historical nuances during heated election year debates can seem like bringing the proverbial knife to a gun fight, yet historical perspective is exactly what we need. In a 2013 article for the Migration Policy Institute, authors Faye Hipsman and Doris Meissner remind us that: “Although immigration has occurred throughout American history, large-scale immigration has occurred during just four peak periods: the peopling of the original colonies, westward expansion during the middle of the 19th century, and the rise of cities at the turn of the 20th century. The fourth peak period began in the 1970s and continues today.” One of these things is not like the others. The first three “peak periods” for immigration occurred during a time of physical expansion. The nation’s physical boundaries were extending westward from the Atlantic coast and our cities were growing upward and outward. The fourth period is marked by a maturing of laborintensive industries, increased productivity from a smaller workforce, fewer opportunities for the typically lower-skilled abilities of
immigrants, and the shrinking of many of our formerly vibrant industrial centers. The other big differences are that there was no welfare state during the first three periods, and the security threats came mostly from foreign militaries, not a global network of terrorist organizations. So, yes, we are a nation of immigrants. But, yes, times change. Hipsman and Meissner ac-
knowledge that the “United States adjusts its immigration policies only rarely, largely because the politics surrounding immigration can be deeply divisive” and that “immigration policy has often been increasingly disconnected from the economic and social forces that drive immigration.” It’s time to reconnect immigration policy to economic and social forces, and to the changing nature See gorrell on 30
Will Orlando Change Anything? However great the shock of the massacre in Orlando, it is only a matter of time before we start hearing again the fact-free dogma that “diby Thomas Sowell versity is our strength.” Syndicated Columnist If there is any place in the Guinness Book of World Records for words repeated the most often, over the most years, without one speck of evidence, “diversity” should be a prime candidate. Is diversity our strength? Or anybody’s strength, anywhere in the world? Does Japan’s homogeneous population cause the Japanese to suffer? Have the Balkans been blessed by their heterogeneity -- or does the very word “Balkanization” remind us of centuries of strife, bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities, extending into our own times? Has Europe become a safer place after importing vast numbers of people from the Middle East, with cultures hostile to the fundamental values of Western civilization? “When in Rome do as the Romans do” was once a common saying. Today, after generations in the West have been indoctrinated with the rhetoric of multiculturalism, the borders of Western nations on both sides of the Atlantic have been thrown open to people who think it is their prerogative to come as refugees and tell the Ro-
mans what to do -- and to assault those who don’t knuckle under to foreign religious standards. The recent wave of refugees flooding into Europe include Muslim men who have been haranguing European women on the streets for not dressing modestly enough, not to mention their sexual molestation of those women. Smug elites in Europe, like their counterparts in America, are not nearly as concerned about such things as they are about preventing “Islamophobia.” Legal restrictions on free speech in some European countries make it a crime to sound the alarm about the dangers to the culture and to the people. In the lofty circles of those who see themselves as citizens of the world, it is considered unworthy, if not hateful, to insist on living according to your own Western values or to resist importing people who increase your chances of being killed. But if you don’t have the instinct for self-preservation, it will not matter much in the long run whatever else you may have. America’s great good fortune in the past has been that Americans have been able to unite as Americans against every enemy, despite our own internal differences and struggles. Black and white, Jew and Gentile, have fought and died for this country in every war. It has not been our diversity, but our ability to overcome the problems inherent in diversity, and to act together as Americans, that See Sowell on 28

tive nesting birds, such as purple martins and flickers, for nest boxes or natural cavities. However, the European starling does serve an extremely useful purpose in controlling a different kind of pest, the Japanese beetle. Starlings eat both the larvae and adult beetle and also contribute to the destruction of weevils, cutworms and other garden pestilence. Originally from Europe, these unique wild birds were introduced in Central Park, in the late 19th century, by a group of Shakespeare enthusiasts who wish to populate the United States with all birds the popular author had written about. Starlings quickly adapted to living close to humans and are now familiar, rambunctious residents of cities, suburban yards, farms and roadsides. The starling is a shorttailed stock bird that has a musical song and loves to mimic other sounds within its territory. In summer, breeding adults have an iridescent purple-black gloss, which changes to a white, spotted spangled coloration in winter. The starling’s bill also changes from a bright yellow in summer to a dirty black during the cold seasons. The preferred seeds of the starlings are millet and milo. These two ingredients can be found in most inexpensive seed mixes and are the primary reason many beginner backyard birders are frustrated by their continual presence. If you wish to move the large flocks along, be sure to serve wild bird seed mixes that do not contain their favorite foods.
Starlings are also fond of suet year round. You can stop these birds from monopolizing your suet baskets by attaching a roof with a large overhang over your suet feeders. Forcing starlings to feed upside-down for a suet treat drives them away. Starlings are not clingers like chickadees, titmice, woodpeckers or other suet-loving songbirds. You can also make it difficult for starlings to eat from your tube feeder. Shorten or remove perches below the feeding portals so that these large birds can not comfortably eat while trying to cling onto the newly, redesigned feeders. Your smaller songbirds have adapted to eating without the use of perches in the wild, so your perchless feeder would not inconvenience them in any manner. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

As a kid growing up in New Hampshire, walleye were often referenced in the same light as Sasquatch. They were almost mythical, as if they didn’t really exist. I remember my dad telling me that there were a few walleye in the Connecticut River, but not enough to bother fishing for them and I grew up believing the same thing. As I grew older, walleye numbers in the Connecticut River increased, but I still considered them not worth the two-hour trip west. A business trip to Minnesota, the walleye capital of the world, would change that. When I began working in the outdoor industry I was fortunate to meet new friends and colleagues in the mid-west. Walleye to mid-westerners are like trout to New Englanders. They are closely managed and even stocked to ensure their numbers. Opening day of walleye season is just as big a deal

“Norman Rockwell in the 1940s: A View of the American Home Front” Open Daily June 18 to August 21st
Norman Rockwell was – and continues to be – one of America’s most popular artists. During World War II, Rockwell put a human face on daily life in home front America with iconic paintings that appeared on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post. The images reflected the social and political climate in the United States during that time. The Wright Museum will celebrate Rockwell’s wartime America with a special exhibit of 44 original tear sheets, which are Rockwell’s covers torn from the Post 2016 that the publisher sent to him for his portfolio.
We’re Proud to Announce that Yankee Magazine Picked The Wright Museum As...
“the Best 20th Century History Museum” in New England!
The highlight of the exhibit is Rockwell’s “Four Freedoms.” The paintings appeared on four consecutive Post covers in 1943. Each painting reflects one of the freedoms President Franklin D. Roosevelt identified in his “Four Freedoms State of the Union” address that he delivered in January, 1941. Rockwell spent over four months working on the paintings, whose purpose was to remind Americans what they were fighting for. In 1943, a traveling exhibit featuring his “Four Freedoms” helped raise $132 million for war bonds.

can check the record. Ali was unbeatable in the ring, even after he was banned from boxing for three of his prime years due to his 1967 refusal to expose himself to military induction during the Vietnam War. A 1971 loss to Joe Frazier in “The Fight of the Century” only set the stage for more dramatic heroics throughout the seventies, as he thrice claimed the “World Champion” title before losing his final bout in 1981. Ali certainly had his flaws. His life was marked by imperfections and contradictions. But the occasion of someone’s death is rightfully a time to reflect upon their achievements and legacy. Later, when emotions subside, a more measured judgment may be made as to their rightful place in history. Many Ali eulogies focused on the hatred and bigotry directed at him a half century ago. That’s an important part of his story. Of course. Like Ali, America was—and remains—imperfect. But it’s also fair to ponder how this country
gave the son of middle class, African-American parents from Louisville, Kentucky, opportunities he never could have received anywhere else—and a pathway to become the most famous person in the world. Some say “The Greatest.” R.I.P. Sports Quiz From whom did Muhammed Ali win the World Heavyweight title in 1964? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on June 23 include track and field star Wilma Rudolph (1940) who won three Gold Medals at the 1960 Rome Olympics (where 18-year-old Muhammed Ali won a boxing gold medal) and All-Pro NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson (1979) Sportsquote “People don’t realize what they had till it’s gone.

THE GREATEST? Has the death of any former athlete ever prompted so much emotion as the recent demise of three-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Muhammed Ali? Young sports fans with no memory of the champ in his prime may be forgiven for wondering about all the acclaim extended to the late Ali. Sports Illustrated featured Ali on its cover for a record 40th—but probably not the last—time. SI’s Richard Hoffer wrote of Ali’s stature being elevated “to that of god.” His colleague, the over-rated Charles Pierce, wrote that Ali’s legal victory in court “was as revolutionary as Yorktown in the American Revolution.” SI quoted President Obama describing Ali as “The Greatest. Period….He stood with King and Mandela.” Heady praise indeed. What could be greater than “The Greatest?” Yes, young sports fans may indeed wonder if such a designation could be hyperbolic. Truth be told, Ali bestowed the title “Greatest” upon himself. But chutzpah was part of his appeal. Athletes in the 1960s tended to avoid controversy. But after Ali came the Joe Namaths, John McEnroes, and Dennis Rodmans of the world, who perhaps modeled their self-promotion somewhat on Ali, the all-time master. But aside from self-promotion, Ali certainly left his mark, not only on boxing but on America— and the world. Young sports fans

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 23, 2016
Hermit Woods Partners With the NH Humane Society, Releases Hermit Hard Apple Cider Hermit Woods Winery will be releasing their first hard cider, Hermit Hard Apple Cider, on June 25th at 12pm. However, this is not just any hard cider release as Hermit Woods will also have firewood and kittens for sale (kittens for adoption really, read on). It all started when famed illustrator and children’s book author Deb Lucke offered to design the label for Hermit Woods new cider. Over a year was spent working with Deb on the label design, bottle choice, and closure. Deb and Hermit Woods Winery wanted to make the late Hermit of Meredith Hill, Joseph Plummer, proud, because it is Deb’s vision of him that inspired her new label. For those of you who don’t know, Joseph Plummer is the famed hermit of the Meredith town forest, Hermit Woods, where Hermit Woods winery got their name. Joseph died in 1882. You can find his grave site and foundation to his home with a short hike into the Meredith forest. You can learn more about Joseph at
(877)-528-4104
hermitwoods.com. Deb’s expression of Joseph starts with a silhouette of him on the bottle with “Hermit Hard Apple Cider, firewood and kittens also 4 sale” written on it. The back label goes on to suggest how a hermit might enjoy this fine cider ending with “Of course, more sociable types are free to raise a glass with a party of stumps or even a squirrel or two - The Hermit.” The bottle is finished with a cork and cage as a bottle might have been finished in Joseph’s time. On the inside, Ken Hardcastle, Hermit Woods partner and Winemaker offers a dry cider crafted from six french and english heirloom cider apples from Apple Hill Farm in Concord, NH, fermented with whole crabapples and quince. Together with the unique packaging, Hermit Woods new cider is sure to be a hit. But that is just the beginning. Deb Lucke didn’t have any idea that her creative design would inspire Hermit Woods to partner with the NH Humane Society to donate 5% of the sales of their cider. Bob Manley, of Hermit Woods says “we were so inspired by the unique approach that Deb came up with for our label, that we just had to have firewood and kit-
tens at the release. Who better to support than the Humane Society when it comes to kittens.” “We are very excited about sharing the success of our new Hermit Hard Apple Cider with the NH Humane Society.” Visit Hermit Woods Winery on Saturday, June 25th from 12 noon to 2:00 pm to sample the cider, adopt a kitten, buy some firewoods and enjoy some live music by Audrey Drake on the porch and support our local Humane Society. Deb Lucke is an illustrator and children’s book author. You can learn more about Deb’s work at www. deblucke.com The NH Humane Society is a local, stand-alone, 501(c)3 non-profit that does not receive funds from national animal welfare agencies, nor are funds sent to any. Donations assist your local shelter. The NH Humane Society strives to find responsible and caring forever homes and offers support programs to the community. For more information visit www.nhhumane.org. Hermit Woods Winery is a boutique winery located in Meredith NH. They produce a wide variety of grape, fruit, and honey wines, mostly from local, often organic fruit and styled after the old world wines of Europe.

tionships, financial management, diet and cooking classes and job searching and interview skills, to name a few. The goal is to help participants succeed in life and to become leaders in their communities through their example of overcoming adversity. Since the first session in 2014, one hundred and thirty-seven veterans and their family members have participated in the thirteen sessions to date. The reaction by those attending has been overwhelming and has created a need to expand the number of sessions per year which, of course, will see the need for Camp Resilience to take on three or four full-time employees as well as increase their expenditures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There really is an important need for programs like

On a recent visit to a Camp Resilience event put on with the help of the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association, veterans and their wives were exposed to an afternoon of sailing on Lake Winnipesaukee, which followed a morning of Life Skills sessions. William, a disabled veteran from Connecticut, was glad to share his thoughts on the Camp with this reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Camp Resilience is the best thing that I have ever been to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a disabled veteran and I invited my boss, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a disabled vet too and we are really enjoying ourselves.

DEAR TIM: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about to step outside my comfort zone. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to delve into the depths of toilets. My current toilet is horribly stained, and nothing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried seems to help. Besides, I want one of the newer toilets where the seat is higher up off the floor. That will be a blessing for my older parent who Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m caring for. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never installed a toilet and it appears complex and scary. My home is only 30 years old, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ancient plumbing. There is a second toilet in the house in case I run into problems. What tips can you share so I succeed? --Elizabeth W., Vancouver, B.C. DEAR ELIZABETH: Yoda, one of the principal characters in the Star Wars movie series, would be proud of you. One of his famous quotes -- â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do or do not; there is no tryâ&#x20AC;? -- resonates with me when it comes to attempting a project around the home. Most jobs are not that hard. Often itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of having the needed tools to guarantee success.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to level a toilet bowl before installation. Use shims as necessary, and tape them to the floor to hold them in place. To replace a toilet, you often just need a few simple tools. My guess is you have an adjustable wrench, a putty knife, a 2-foot level, a screwdriver and a hacksaw. This is often all you need to replace a toilet.
The first step is to turn off the water supply to the toilet. You should have a small valve under the toilet that controls the flow of water. If not, you may have to turn off the water supply to the entire See builder on 25

house. Check that the water is off by flushing the toilet one final time. If the water is off, no water should be entering the toilet tank. Pour four gallons of fresh water into the toilet bowl as fast as possible to get as much water out of the toilet bowl as possible. Use the putty knife to remove the decorative caps that hide the bolts that secure the toilet bowl to the hidden toilet flange under the toilet. Disconnect the flexible water supply line from the base of the toilet tank. Remove the nuts from the toilet bolts. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now ready to lift the toilet up off the floor. You may have to rock it side to side to break the bond between any tile grout or caulk that should be between the toilet and the flooring. Once you have the toilet up and in the air, carry it outside with a helper. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set it down on any good carpet or other finished flooring because nasty wax from the toilet seal could permanently stain whatever it touches. The next step is to clean up the existing toilet flange. If a wax gasket was used before to seal the toilet to the flange, then you should scrape off any excess wax and otherwise clean it up. Set aside about a tablespoon of the best wax. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need it in a few minutes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wear disposable gloves for this part of the job. The next steps are critical for a professional installation. You get but one chance to set the toilet down on the flange. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move the toilet once you press it down into the fresh wax gasket. If you do monkey with the toilet trying to make adjustments, you risk breaking the all-important seal. This means you need to dry fit the toilet bowl to the floor without the new wax gasket in place. Put the toilet on the flange and level the bowl both left and right and front to back. Place wood shims as required to get the toilet level. Tape these shims tightly to the finished floor
so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move when you lift the toilet back up. Place the wax gasket on the toilet flange. I prefer to use gaskets that come with a small plastic horn that forces the toilet water and waste down into the piping below the toilet flange. Install new toilet bolts and use some old wax from the previous flange to help hold them vertical in the toilet flange slots. Straddle the toilet flange and with the assistance of a helper have him/her guide you so you lower the toilet bowl slowly so the toilet bolts line up with the holes in the base of the toilet bowl. Remember, you only get to set the toilet down one time. Be sure the toilet bowl is square to the wall so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to twist it excessively. A helper at this stage of the installation is invaluable since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a rookie. Be sure the toilet bowl is tight against the wood shims. Install all the new parts for the decorative toilet bowl caps and tighten the nuts. Resist the urge to apply vast amounts of force to tighten the nuts to the bolts. While the china is strong, some people have cracked the bottom of the bowl by using too much force. Install the tank to the bowl according to the in-
structions and install a new water supply line. You can now test the toilet to see how well it works. Turn on the water supply valve and the toilet tank should fill with water. Flush it and see how it all works. If all is well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now time to grout the toilet bowl to the floor. Do not use caulk for this. The connection between the toilet bowl and the floor needs to be a solid material like grout that will not flex when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dry. You want the toilet to be rock solid to the floor so it never rocks back and forth. Rocking will eventually break the seal between the toilet and the toilet flange. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the grout touch the wood shims. After about 15 minutes, gently remove the wood shims and use the mixed grout to fill in the voids created by the missing shims. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit on the toilet for at least 8 hours so the grout has a chance to harden.

Real discrimination is fairly common and sometimes the law outside the Western world; e.g., against gays in Iran, women in many Muslim countries, nonnative people in many countries, people converting from Islam, or against any non-Muslim in most Middle East countries.

legally every year. Millions more people have applied and are waiting their turns to come here legally. Despite Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critics (e.g., Michael Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of Cuba, Thomas Friedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admiration of China, Sean Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoration of left-wing dictators, and the apparent preference for Islam by many leftists) and the absence of barriers to emigration, few Americans leave for the utopias that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leftists claim are so great. Few Americans (or others) emigrate to Cuba, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, etc. Actually millions of people risk their lives to escape those societies. So we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to compare cultures, many
tens of millions of people did it for us by willingly abandoning their homes, their societies, and their cultures to come to the US; few want to return home. Nevertheless American leftists seem determined to make our society more like the societies that so many people flee. We would be insane to let leftists undermine and/or outlaw the Judeo-Christian values on which our successful society is based, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to speak up, defend, and reinstate our Judeo-Christian heritage.
backgrounds, they were Americans when the chips were down. Today, that sense of American unity is being undermined by the reckless polarization of group identity politics. That affects not only how Americans see themselves, but how others in our midst see America. Some people demand American citizenship, as if it is an entitlement, while burning the American flag and waving the flag of Mexico. And the apostles
of â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversityâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiculturalismâ&#x20AC;? watch in silence. That includes the President of the United States. Probably most people in most groups are decent. But if 85 percent of the people in Group A present no serious problems and 95 percent of the people in Group B present no serious problems, that means you can expect three times as many serious problems when you admit immigrants from Group A. Unfortunately, there is remarkably little interest in the relevant facts about crime rates, disease rates, welfare dependency or educational deficiencies among immigrants from specific countries. Most debates about immigration policies are contests in rhetoric, with hard facts being ignored as if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist. Tragically, the massacre in Orlando seems unlikely to change that. Too many people have too much invested in their own particular position to change, especially in an election year.

of our national security threat. For much of our history we didn’t have a formal immigration program. Federal oversight of immigration began with the 1882 Immigration Act, which focused on two things: creating revenue and keeping out undesirables. The Act required that non-citizens arriving on our shores pay a fee earmarked to cover the costs of regulating immigration. It also
Gilpatric Metal Recycling, LLC
required that each immigrant be examined and that “If on such examination there shall be found among such passengers any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of him or herself without becoming a public charge, they shall report the same in writing to the collector of such port, and such person shall not be permitted to land.” Contrast that with our current policy of helping new immigrants receive public assistance for housing, food, medical care, and education, or the policy of allowing illegal aliens with criminal records to roam our streets even after being picked up for committing additional crimes against U.S. citizens. Our immigration policy now actively promotes bringing foreigners to our cities and towns who are “unable to take care of him or herself without becoming a public charge” and largely ignoring the threat posed by foreign criminals. Legal and illegal immigration are creating stresses in our society that could

lead to fractures if not dealt with in a way that seems not just fair and equitable to a majority of Americans, but legal as well. The problem is that the issue of immigration is inextricably bound to politics. It’s not a coincidence that the political party that supports increased immigration and an easy path to citizenship is also the party that benefits from the voting habits of immigrant-heavy minority populations. That these same populations tend to support increasing the welfare state and government direction of the economy, in line with Democrat’s legislative efforts, is also not coincidental. The path to resolution starts with answering a simple question: “How does this policy benefit America?” Parochial interests, political gamesmanship, and an emotional reading of history won’t cut it.

a European Union naval task force crackdown to stop, search, and seize weapons on the high seas off the Libyan coast. The European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation Sophiaâ&#x20AC;? will be strengthened. EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini stated in Brussels, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Sophia lunched one year ago to fight traffickers and smugglers networks, has been at the forefront to Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the refugee and migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.â&#x20AC;? She added the new UN resolution will now enable Operation Sophia to play a important role in implementing the arms embargo. Operation Sophia has saved more than 15,000 lives and apprehended 71 smugglers and disabled 139 smuggling ships on the high seas. Beyond illegal arms shipments thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the people smuggling networks which operate from the Libyan coast. As British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Libya faces twin threats. Just as Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;esh continues to exploit Libyan territory, criminal gangs continue to exploit the fear of people seeking a safer future. The waters of the Mediterranean are now synonymous with suffering.â&#x20AC;? According to the UNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Refugee Agency (UNHCR) over 2,000 drowned in making the treacherous sea crossing to Italy this year alone; 49,000 survived the journey to Italy. Most migrants come from Senegal, Gambia, and Eritrea. Libya resembles a political quilt where tribalism and Islamic fundamentalism, and elements of oil rich modernism intersect in a witches brew of churning chaos. During the so-called Arab Spring, many Libyan opposition groups staged a violent uprising against Col. Gaddafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regime. Under the original plan to protect at risk civilians in the city of Benghazi, the French, and later the British and USA, supported a UN Security Council resolution which in effect gave the green light for regime change in Libya.
The overthrow of the tyrant Gaddafi while laudable and long overdue, opened a pandoras box of acute instability where Islamic fundamentalist militias and Al Qaida terrorists filled the void. The premeditated Jihadi attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and the killing of the U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and four other Americans, are part of the shameful record which still shadows Hillary Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. There are three key issues; first stabilize the internationally backed but domestically wobbly Government of National Accord first in the capital Tripoli, and then beyond. This presents a major political hurdle given that rival militias control large parts of the country. This problem actually more complicated than eliminating the emerging ISIL networks. Second, the EU must stop the weapons flow which fuels the conflict itself. But this is easier said than done. Libya is a lawless land awash with weapons.
Third, to curtail the criminal networks of people smugglers who send hapless migrants form west and central Africa unto unsafe boats towards the Italian waters with the goal of reaching Europe. Last year more than a million illegal migrants mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, flooded into Europe with Germany and Sweden. Libya remains a dangerously fractured and fragile state. Instability from illegal migrant flows and a widening spillover from jihadi terrorism poses lethal local and regional ramifications. John J.

Hampshire. As a ROTC graduate he entered the Air Force as a flying cadet and served from 1940 to 1966, being promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in 1963 as vicecommander of NORAD North Region. But before that he served with distinction in World War II and the Korean War. In January of 1942 Harrison, who went by the nick-name “Harry” became the first commander of a new Fighter Squadron, the 309th, of the 31st Fighter Group. He went to England with his squadron to train on Spitfire V Fighters. The group flew its first combat mission in July of 1942. Thyng named his SpitfireV Mary & James after his wife and son; it should be noted that Harry and his wife, Mary, had four children. During his career he was involved in escort missions as well as battle missions. While serving in Tunisia, Thyng’s plane was shot down twice and he suffered a broken ankle during the second hit. He was identified as an ace after he shot down four enemy fighters. In 1945 Harrison engaged in missions in the Pacific, including attacks on Japan and China. Then Col. Thyng served

Harrison Reed Thyng as a commander during the Korean War and flew on 114 missions, piloting a number of different aircraft. He is one of only seven United States pilots who was given the status of an ace both in WWII and an additional war. His awards included the U.S. Air Force Command Pilot Badge, Silver Stars, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart, Air Medals, American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, Asiatic –Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Army of Occupation Medal, Korean Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal, and French Croix de Guerre with bronze palm. After retiring from the Air Force and making Pittsfield his home General Thyng ran for the U.S. Senate as a Republican in 1966 but was defeated in the general election. He served as the first president of Daniel Webster College in Nashua. More could be written
about the General and his accomplishments, but there are more Thyngs to mention. The first Thyngs (sometimes spelled Thing ) to live in New Hampshire were residents of the town of Exeter. The History of the Town of Exeter, New Hampshire by Charles H. Bell, published in 1888 says “ The Thing family dates…far back in the history of the town. Jonathan Thing, the first comer, was a selectman in 1658and seven years afterwards, town clerk in 1689, and representative in 1693. Samuel and Bartholomew, his sons, held the same offices for even longer periods, and the service of the latter did not end till 1737. They were among the leading men of the town for a long period.” You may have already known Brigadier Harrison Thyng, but my guess is that there are a lot of Thyngs you didn’t know, until now. Robert Hanaford Smith lives in New Hampton.

District Judge Gregory Presnell after time served despite prosecutors’ pleas to add 10 years to his sentence based on enhanced terror charges. Gun-grabbers and bleeding hearts, wake up and stop playing Mickey Mouse politics. The problem isn’t weapons. It’s the weaponized Muslim hate-mongers and jihad enablers operating openly in our midst.
