Never Slowing Down In Keeping History Of The Greatest Generation Alive by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
A 1940 Ford pickup, part of a rotating display of vehicles from the era, is the first new display you’ll see upon entering. With the backdrop of a giant photo of a 1947 parade down the Wolfeboro Main Street, you’ll feel like you are part of the crowd. To the right is a stunning, new photography
exhibit called “Bound For Glory.” Sharp and vivid color photographs, taken long before the advent of digital photography, these photos are an amazing display of everyday life as people began to prepare for the challenges of World War II. To the left is a newly See wright on 30

It’s always a pleasure and a thrill for me to make a visit to the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro. A real world class museum that focuses on all aspects of the years of World War II, both on the home front and overseas.
It is a real jewel in the Lakes Region. Never one’s to sit back and be complacent, the board of directors and employees of the Wright Museum are constantly changing and innovating to make the museum just as interesting to visit for the tenth time as well as the first.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
First Weeks
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
I received an interesting email the other day. It was from a reader in Connecticut who wrote to tell me how much she enjoyed my column. This isn’t the first time I have received such a letter from someone out of state telling me how much they enjoyed F.O.O.L In New Hampshire, but it was one of the few that didn’t come from a relative. In the letter she wrote: “…I would love to move to New Hampshire myself someday to be a Flatlander.” This was an awakening for me. Just when I thought, after seventeen years, that I had covered every base in the Flatlander phenomenon, I was now presented with a new class of Flatlander. The “Flatlander Wannabee.” After living here for twenty-eight years, I have closely watched the moves of the natives hoping to pick up on their tricks for survival. I have come a long way in learning to rake my roof in the winter and the proper social etiquette for a day at the dump, hoping to be almost like a native. Of course, no matter how long you live here from away, you can never be one. Now there are some out there who don’t care about the status of being almost like a native, they will be happy enough just to be a Flatlander, just so they can live here in
Central New Hampshire year-round. Still, they may never realize the stigma of what just being a Flatlander might mean. Sure, they will be here but they will have to learn to fit in, whether they like it or not. That is why I am hard at work at my next book. (My first book “The Flatlnader Chronicles” will be out within a matter of weeks,) My next book will be a survival guide for the new Flatlander. It will be called: “Your First Few Weeks In New Hampshire - All You Will Ever Need To Know.” Here is a sneak peek of a few of the completed sections. Attitude Adjustment It takes a long time for a city Flatlander to realize they are now where they are instead of where they have been. No longer will you have to race with your shopping cart to get into the checkout line before someone else. Also be prepared to wait sometimes while the checkout girl has a conversation with the customer in front of you about upcoming weather patterns. There’s not much you can do about it. Also, watching the Weather Channel before you go shopping can help you sharpen the new social skills you will need. Clothes - What can I say? Dump the furs and gold chains, the designer jeans and silk shirts. Try not to flaunt any designer’s name except Eddie Bauer and L.L. Bean. When going out for a quick shop it isn’t necessary to spend hours getting ready. You can usually wear whatever is lying on the bed -unless it is alive. Last week I spied two women at the supermarket, reeking of
North Shore Long Island Flatlander. They had on enough gold jewelry, earrings, bracelets and rings to choke a moose. I took notes as everyone around them took an opportunity to stare. One man, I thought for a second, was trying to reach out to touch them to see if they were real. It turned out he was only getting a box of Clementines. POV - It’s also very important to look at the fence from the other side, or something like that. While you are waiting at a stop light with three cars in front of you, pause to reflect how peaceful it really is. It is a good thought to keep in your mind since years down the road, when you become accustomed to the way of life up here, you find yourself getting upset in the summer when you are at a stop light with five cars in front of you. It really is all a matter of perspective. Of course, there will be plenty other tips when “Your First Few Weeks In New Hampshire - All You Will Ever Need To Know” is published. This book will also come in handy for visiting Flatlanders who are just coming up for a week. I’m convinced it will be a huge seller. Perhaps the State of New Hampshire could buy a truckload and hand them out at the Hooksett tollbooths, I know they can find it in their budget somewhere. To my friend in Connecticut, I wish you the best in fulfilling your dream. To everyone else, keeps those cards and letters coming in. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com.

We Are The Majority To The Editor: From boyhood campouts to teenage mischief to an adult view – Newfound Lake and its surrounding views has nourished my soul. I’ve caught fish in crystalclear waters. I’ve tasted sweet spring waters gushing from the ground. I’ve hiked mountains for a single photo op. I spend time on the lake and see how this place has a family feel. For many hunting is a way of life up here. And know - if you want to get lost up here you can. Newfound Lake has fed many souls over the centuries…let’s live by our mojo: “leave it - like you found it”. For many – a bad work week can simply change at the hint of going to the lake. We feel rejuvenated by Sunday night – that’s the power of the lake. That’s how the lake works for many of us summer residents. It’s a place where we come to relax and get away from it all. I worry what will happen after the turbines are built. Those towering turbines will redefine our view, newly created man-made water runoffs will be directed into existing water outlets and the wildlife will need to adjust or thrive elsewhere - it’s that simple. I never imagined that we would agree to destroy what we love so much. I don’t want someone to come in and develop this – we need to fight this and protect it. I would love for my phone to ring – a call from the land owner – it would be a

great call to accept. They’ve enjoyed their land for generations…and can continue to do so. They just need to hear about options – options like a “conservation easement”. Google it. The beauty of this is that the landowner knows their land is going to stay undeveloped forever and at the end of the day they can either sign up for the easement or not. It’s 100 percent up to them until the end. In closing, this community is shining right now in a way developers never imagined. I’m very proud of everyone who has spoken up and for those who are stepping up. We are the majority and we are winning! Ray Cunningham Bridgewater, NH.
To Niel Young To The Editor: Selective amnesia is a dangerous thing. Niel Young’s column of June 6 (A Great Country Six Decades Ago) fails to acknowledge that this was a great country then if you were a white, Anglo-Saxon protestant. Blacks, latinos, women and Asians were denied many opportunities by the old boys club. There were riots and burnings and, yes, even murders when blacks and others dared to step out of their “proper places.” Where you could buy a home, go to school, whom you could date or marry, if you could vote, etc., were dictated to you if you were not a white man. Lynchings
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. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
occurred and homes were burned down. Women were told their proper place was in the home and that they were only fit to be typists or receptionists. God forbid you were a homosexual. You had to remain in the closet or face a wrath that in some instances resulted in being murdered. A blind eye to total history is a dangerous thing. Don’t remember just the good things; also recall the terrible in history. That is what helps one become a more compassionate human being. Ernest Solis Franklin, NH.
Open Border To The Editor: Why don’t we ask Canada to weaken its existing Border Security and Immigration Laws? That would be stupid, almost everybody would say. Anybody could cross the border with impunity. Why then do we apply a different rhetoric to our Southern Border? Why does Mexico jail Illegals, but ask us to weaken our laws? Why are the Democrats so eager to help us win Immigrant votes? They’re not. They seek our destruction. Wealthy GOP donors and waffley talking heads agree, because they don’t see the real intent: To Destroy the GOP with 80-85% new Democrat votes. An Open Border is a death knell for a Free Country.

Parkinson’s disease will change your life. No one would debate that. There are things you can do to help yourself such as keeping physically fit, eating properly, balancing your medications with your diet, taking your medications on time, joining a Parkinson’s support group and maintaining a positive attitude. And there are times when you need someone to help you to complete simple tasks, like cutting your meat into small pieces, buttoning the collar on a dress shirt, zipping up an outfit with a back zipper, fastening
your favorite necklace, holding a hair drier while fluffing your hair with a brush, tying a knot in your tie, moving quickly out of harm’s way or getting out of bed and into a standing position. These are tasks that most people perform automatically and without need for assistance. Those of us with Parkinson’s disease never realized how much we would depend on our spouse, a friend or other family member to assist us with the most ordinary tasks. Each of us has a story to tell about someone who loves us and has made our lives easier, more comfortable or less painful. Marcia de Sousa was

From The State House New York Comes to New Hampshire (Why?) On Tuesday, June 18, our Statehouse Plaza in Concord was visited by the anti-gun (and NYC Mayor Bloomberg funded) “Mayby Rep. Jane ors Against IlCormier legal Guns – No Belknap District 8 More Names” bus tour. This wonderful event is one of 25 scheduled state visits of the “No More Names” tour which hopes to raise awareness about gun violence, naming the “victims” of gun violence since the December 14 Newtown shooting. The group supports the belief that more laws are needed to regulate guns. Of course, the dirty little secret is this tour is really about limiting private ownership of guns and our Second Amendment (natural) rights as stated in our

fighting the systemic sabotage of immigration law. Thankfully, Kobach, his wife and their four young daughters were not home at the time. But the aggrieved amnesty demanders are not done yet. And Kobach is not the only one in their crosshairs. After tea party activist turned Kansas state representative Amanda Grosserode condemned the mob action publicly on Facebook, racist insults and threats littered her page. Roberto Medina Ramirez wrote: “I’ll give her something to be disgusted about!” Doris Lynn Crouse Gent chimed in: “OMG! Maybe her drive should be next.” Matt S. Bashaw echoed the call: “Maybe her house should be next.” Facebook user Jude Robinson also ranted on Grosserode’s page: “Since Kobach steals taxpayer money spreading hate around the country, he deserves what he gets.” Dennis Paul Romero left this message for Grosserode: “(N)azi kkk and she is proud of it.” A user writing as “Paul-says Fckmarkzuck” left death threats under Romero’s comment: “Gotta start killing all the Nazis. Politicans (sic), bankers, and priests. Cops, lawyers, and Judges. ASAP.” The same user added: “Just another b*tch that needs to die off already.” The radicals of Occupy Kansas posted an inflammatory photo of Grosserode with the race-baiting caption: “Kansas State legislator Amanda Grosserode says she is ‘disgusted’ by Hispanic protesters.” Grosserode wasn’t disgusted by their ethnicity. She was disgusted by their actions. No matter. Race/ethnic card: activated. Gina Long pounced: “(S)he is See malkin on 25

Syria Endgame? PARIS—Spiraling sectarian violence, expanding regional destabilization, and the looming danger of proxy conflict by John J. Metzler between the Syndicated Columnist United States and Russia, are among the dangers in the widening Syrian civil conflict which has taken over 93,000 lives. Equally an escalating humanitarian disaster continues to engulf a country where now approximately a third of the entire population is a refugee or internally displaced in their own country. The ongoing battle between the ruling Assad family dictatorship and a wide spectrum of rebel groups, many of them Islamic fundamentalists, presents Western policymakers with the classic Hobson’s choice; should there be military intervention to oust the Assad regime by supporting the spectrum of Islamic rebels of which we really know little? Stating the obvious but overlooked, Syria was once controlled by the Ottoman Turks and then the French before post-WWII independence. Later, Syria’s rulers were supported by the Soviets and now Russia as well as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Assad also has backing from Lebanon’s Hizbollah militias. Opposition comes from factions of the loosely organized rebels ranging from genuinely disaffected Syrian military officers and defectors, as well as Al Qaida linked terrorists. There’s a fair sprinkling of foreign fighters from Muslim communities in France, Germany and Britain among the militants. Syria’s other reality remains that the country of 21 million, while mostly Moslem, sees the traditional divide between a Sunni majority and a Shiite minority of which Assad belongs to the minority Allewite sect. Equally a once thriving Christian minority of about ten percent and the Druze form the fragile sectarian balance. This equilibrium is being upended as the war has militarily morphed along sectarian lines, and ethnic enclaves, especially the Sunni/Shiite rift.
The uneasy truth remains that Syria is not the stereotypical morality play as often presented in the media but a vicious civil war with atrocities on both sides, and with a clear potential to expand should the USA become more openly involved as the Obama Administration proposes. The revolt is not about democracy or keeping the country’s fragile sectarian balance, but about power and a new wider Islamic order in the Mid-East. Facing the backdrop of a massive political setback for America and Israel in the aftermath of Egypt’s Arab Spring revolution, and a far from conclusive outcome in tribally based Libya, the Obama administration was decidedly nervous about offering direct military aid to Syria’s rebels. After all toppling Syria’s secular based dictatorship may well open the floodgates to wider sectarian conflict, and an unstable Islamic fundamentalist regime in Damascus. Thus military involvement is not in the U.S. national interest. Using both the rhetorical line that Assad “has lost all legitimacy” and should step down, to the far from conclusively proven “red line” of the regime having used chemical weapons (large stocks of which exist from the Soviet era), the Obama Administration inches towards American involvement in a sectarian conflict of which we understand painfully little. Interestingly, two of the biggest proponents of military intervention are Saudi Arabia and French President Francois Hollande. Given the evolving situation on the ground, where the military balance seems to be shifting in the Damascus government’s favor, is this the time for the USA and some European allies to try to tip the balance back in favor of nebulous often-fundamentalist forces? Diplomatic efforts by the USA and Europeans in the UN Security Council have fallen on fallow ground precisely because Russia and China have continued to provide support to the Syrian regime. Enduring UN efforts to promote peace talks among the factions have produced painfully little success. During the recent G-8 Summit, a sullen Russian President Vladimir Putin stopped
short of supporting specific efforts to oust Assad. In the meantime the killing continues and the humanitarian crisis worsens. The UN humanitarian coordinator Valerie Amos has proposed the largest UN refugee
response program ever, nearly $5 billion to assist 4.2 million people internally displaced inside Syria as well as 1.6 million refugees in neighboring countries. Lebanon, Turkey, and Jordan are

The Loss Of Trust Amid all the heated crosscurrents of debate about the National Security Agency’s massive surveillance program, there is a growing distrust of by Thomas Sowell the Obama adSyndicated Columnist ministration that makes weighing the costs and benefits of the NSA program itself hard to assess. The belated recognition of this administration’s contempt for the truth, for the American people and for the Constitution of the United States, has been long overdue. But what if the NSA program has in fact thwarted terrorists and saved many American lives in ways that cannot be revealed publicly? Nothing is easier than saying that you still don’t want your telephone records collected by the government. But the first time you have to collect the remains of your loved ones, after they have
been killed by terrorists, telephone records can suddenly seem like a small price to pay to prevent such things. The millions of records of phone calls collected every day virtually guarantee that nobody has the time to listen to them all, even if NSA could get a judge to authorize listening to what is said in all these calls, instead of just keeping a record of who called whom. Moreover, Congressional oversight by members of both political parties limits what Barack Obama or any other president can get away with. Are these safeguards foolproof? No. Nothing is ever foolproof. As Edmund Burke said, more than two centuries ago: “Constitute government how you please, infinitely the greater part of it must depend upon the exercise of the powers which are left at large to the prudence and uprightness of ministers of state.” In other words, we do not have a choice whether to trust or not to trust government officials. Unless we are willing to risk anarchy or terrorism, the most we can do See Sowell on 24

With summer closing in on us (well, in it’s own meandering way) there is plenty to look forward to: sunshine, warmth, and outdoor activities. In a place like New Hampshire, with a relatively limited summer (versus say Southern California) we need to make the most of every minute of it. One of the best parts of warm weather is an increase in produce. It’s much easier to find farm stands, farmer’s markets, and simply more variety in your local market. When it comes to choosing produce, it is my opinion that organic is best. Organic produce is slightly controversial. Some don’t think it’s worth it and others state that the food is no more nutritious than regular produce. However, Dr.

Charles Benbrook, from Washington State University doesn’t agree and points to a study from British researchers that: “found that organic fruits and vegetables contain about 12% more diseasefighting nutrients than non-organic foods. Sticking with organic produce, researchers concluded, would be the equivalent of eating 12% more regular fruits and veggies” (WebMD). Even if organic produce doesn’t prove to provide more nutrition, they do provide less pesticides. The numbers vary on how much less, but it is certainly less (30% less is the most common number). This may mean that in a single serving of produce, the toxicity isn’t a concern, but I’m more concerned about the cumulative effect over the years. Either way, I agree with this statement (WebMD): “If you can afford them, buy them,” recommends New York University professor Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH. “It really is a personal choice but how can anyone think substances, such as pesticides, capable of killing insects, can be good for you?” Now cost is obviously a factor. In my opinion, even if you can’t get organic, it is better to eat produce than not. More produce and plant food is always better than less. In our economy, with many folks watching pennies, it can be tricky. We have to look past the initial purchase cost if possible, when buying healthy food and think about the
hidden costs associated with poor health, medical bills, etc. Produce costs more than ramen noodles today, but maybe not in the long run. If you find yourself interested in buying organic produce, but want to do it in the most cost effective way possible, I’d encourage you to check out the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Dirty Dozen list. This is a list that the EWG, puts out yearly, along with the Clean Fifteen list. The Dirty Dozen is the twelve items of produce with the most pesticide residues. The Clean Fifteen, then logically, contains the least. These lists are quite helpful when budget or availability dictates that you simply cannot buy all produce as organic. They allow you to get the most bang for your organic buck. The Dirty Dozen for 2013 are: apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches, spinach, sweet bell peppers, nectarines, cucumbers, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and hot peppers. The organic version of many of these are only slightly more expensive and available at our local groceries. The Clean Fifteen is: mushrooms, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, grapefruit, kiwi, eggplant, asparagus, mangoes, papayas, sweet peas(frozen), cabbage, avocados, pineapple, onions, and corn (controversial in its out right regarding genetic modification). So, if you cannot afford organic, perhaps See MONEYSMITH on 12

David de Sousa practices SLM Bodywork at his clinic located at The Fitness Edge, 169 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH. GIFT from 5
then Dave’s interest was piqued by a website, and he made a life-altering decision. In his 60s, Dave decided to become a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), leaving behind his work as a management consultant. His focus was on SLM Bodywork, a technique developed by an Australian Massage Therapist, Steve Lockhart. The goal of this unique method is to eliminate or significantly reduce pain. While Dave was learning Steve’s method via an online course, he also attended classes at the North Eastern Institute of Whole Health School of Massage Therapy in Manchester, NH. Dave is one of only four licensed massage therapists in the US who are also trained in SLM. Marcia benefited immediately from the massage therapy treatment that Dave had learned. From the beginning of his massage training, Dave knew that he wanted to work with people diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Rigidity and pain, including cramps in your legs, feet, or hands
and stiffness or aches in your back, shoulders or neck, are common symptoms of the disease that are invisible to others. Massage therapy is especially helpful in relieving these symptoms. David de Sousa, LMT, has successfully obtained his license to practice in the state of New Hampshire. Learning the art of massage therapy requires not only classroom hours but also 125 supervised hours applying and mastering the massage techniques. Dave has over 1,000 hours of training in massage therapy. He
reached for the stars and attained his goal, recently opening his business, Relief Bodyworks & Massage in Meredith, New Hampshire. Dave will make house calls to serve his clients when necessary. He specializes in working with athletes, those who do physical work and people with Parkinson’s disease. Dave is happiest and finds the greatest satisfaction in relieving Marcia’s pain. That is the reason for his career change. He made this decision from his heart. He has given his wife the ultimate gift and is dedicated to lessening her pain. He also knows that he is able to help others, including many within the Parkinson’s community. Dave practices SLM Bodywork at his clinic located at The Fitness Edge, 169 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH. If you have Parkinson’s disease or acute and/or chronic pain, you can reach him at 603387-0950. His web site is: www.reliefbodyworks. massagetherapy.com and his email is painreliever@ live.com.

DEAR TIM: Spring has finally arrived in the high country here. It’s time to cut the grass, but the small gasoline engine on my lawn mower refuses to start. I use the same gasoline that goes in my truck, and my truck always starts. My guess is that you work with small engines all the time and know what the problem might be and how to prevent it. What’s the best way to store a small engine for months so that when it’s time to use it, you can depend on it starting? --Don G., Baker, Nev. DEAR DON: I used to have hard-start issues with small engines. I’ve also had small engines that refused to start no matter how much starting fluid you squirt in the air filter. However, years ago I discovered a trick that ensures my small engines start within a few pulls each time I take them out of winter or summer stor-
Gum and varnish build-up inside a small engine carburetor will eventually lead to problems. age. Your truck starts all the time because you drive it frequently and the gasoline in the tank and fuel system are almost always fresh. If you add gasoline to your truck every 30 days, you’ll rarely have problems. People who don’t drive their cars much should absolutely continue reading because they need to do what I do with my small engines. I decided that I’d blend my years of personal ex-
perience with the vast knowledge base of Briggs & Stratton’s Wayne Rassel to shed some light on how to store small engines. I have small engines in snow blowers, a lawn mower, a hydraulic log splitter and a standby generator. All the engines sit idle for months at a time, so it’s important that they respond when I need them. I discovered a simple trick years ago that allows See builder on 36

Nobel Peace Prize In 4 Months-What A Joke Has anyone figured out yet why we went to war in Viet Nam? There are 58,000 of our fellow Ameriby Niel Young Advocates Columnist cans who were killed who might like to know the answer. I know I do. Does anyone know why GW Bush and Colin Powell did not continue on to Baghdad? After 9-112001 and 3,000 Americans murdered, how did WE react? Right or wrong, and thousands of our military being killed in Iraq, we torqued up the war in Afghanistan. Why? In 2008 the people of America were promised the war would soon be over. ******** Nobelprize.org: “The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.” Elected in November of 2008 and by early 2009 he had a “vision” of what could be? The list of required accomplishments by a nominee must be very short. “Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving
even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.” Could you give me a few examples of where Barack Hussein Obama exhibited leadership? “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.” It is a shame that this committee honored a man who is the laughing stock of the world. Thus, people around the world are seeing the Nobel Peace Prize as a bad joke. WHAC-A-MOLE, a game that can be found at FUNSPOT where my grandchildren have enjoyed many hours over the years. The mood that I have been in lately begs for some verbal Whac-AMole. #1: (CNSNews.com) - When former Florida House Speaker MARCO RUBIO was running for the Senate in 2010--as a conservative candidate backed by the Tea Party movement--he insisted that illegal aliens inside the United States would need to go home and that giving illegal aliens “an earned path to citizenship,” such as his opponent Gov. Charlie Crist, former President George
W. Bush and Sen. John McCain had advocated, was nothing more than a “code for amnesty.” #2: VICE -DOPE and PRO-ABORTION CATHOLIC JOE BIDEN (patriotupdate.com): “Speaking at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast Thursday, Vice President and self-styled theologian Joe Biden suggested that Republicans who profess to be Christians are hypocrites because they oppose comprehensive immigration reform that does not secure the border.” #3: Super Star MSNBC host a gushing CHRIS MATHEWS: “I think Clinton had a piece of this. I think we always knew Clinton’s problems. He was the most transparent guy ever to be president.” Just ask a list of women who will tell you about his transparency. Matthews, you really should seek help. #4: AL SHARPTON (of TAWANA BRAWLEY fame) a host on MSNBC says that the GOP “will stop at nothing to tear down the poor.” Al complains that Republicans are waging a war against the poor by considering restructuring the food stamp program. #5: Please do not refer to BILL O’REILLY as a conservative. Over LAURA INGRAHAM’s objections he said he is 100% for the ILLEGAL immigration legislation. “It is time for the USA to pass immigration reform. For years I’ve called for a more secure southern border. You know that. And now it looks like the secure border is in reach at least somewhat. So I hope this bill does become law.” What a bloviator!

Ossipee Historical Society Fundraiser
On Monday, July 1, The Ossipee Historical Society will hold their Mead, Food & Music Fundraiser featuring Joe Frascetti at the piano and mead from the award-winning Sap House Meadery of Center Ossipee. As part of Ossipee Old Home Week, visitors can sample locally produced mead while listening to music with a jazzy twist from 5-8 p.m. at the historic Carroll County courthouse on Route 171 in Ossipee Village. Food donated by Mountain View Station and Hannaford of Ossipee will be served. Although no general admission will be charged to visit the building, a fee of $10 will allow mead samples and selections from the buffet. A 50/50 raffle will be held as well. Event benefits Ossipee Historical Society’s maintenance of its three historic buildings.
The Churches of Moultonborough “The Churches of Moultonborough,” presented by Rev. Ed Charest, on Monday, July 8 at 7pm., at the Moultonborough United Methodist Church. Moultonborough’s religious life is full of interesting history, with church buildings built and moved, as well as various denominations that have existed in town over the years. When the town was first chartered, one of the requirements was that a minister be settled in town, and when the town was subdivided into lots and ranges, a lot was reserved for the residence of the minister. One of Moultonborough’s earliest appearances in the news media was a controversy over which of two candidates should be chosen to be the official minister, and the eventual winner, Rev. Jeremiah Shaw, served the town for many years and baptized, married and buried many of the first residents. The Historical Society website at www.moultonboroughhistory.org is always adding interesting new features, including video of the recent Memorial Day Parade. The theme of the Fourth of July Parade will be “Home of the Brave,” and the parade will be on Thursday, July 4 at 11am. Entries of decorated bicycles, floats, antique vehicles, walking groups, and more are invited. The parade forms at the corner of Blake Road next to the Central school and proceeds down Route 25 and Old 109 to the Lion’s Club.

from searching for them. Further, after borrowing a friend’s driver and almost reaching the green on the Par 4 fifth hole, I realized I needed to get a real driver to replace the ancient onewood in my old golf bag. The nice folks at the Den Brae Club House gave me a deal on a real driver and extended it two inches with a new grip. This new weapon in my golf arsenal positioned me for more of those exhilarating 250 yard drives. I just need to keep them straight and out of the poison ivy. Bring on the British Open! (Predicted winner – Rory McIlroy.) F-Cats and Muskrats I went to a Fathers Day NH Fisher Cat game against the Erie Seawolves at Delta Dental Park in Manchester. The F-Cats led 17-0 in the fourth inning, and it occurred to me there is no mercy rule in AA baseball. No drama there like what occurred at the US Open, but a wonderful venue right next to the Merrimack River. If you’ve never been, you should check them out.

a Major on TV a delight compared to the old days when it was so hard to follow the flight of the ball on black and white television sets. Yes, individuals do make the sport. Tiger Woods may be the world’s most recognizable figure. And I don’t mind the occasional TV cutaways to his new girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn. But what really makes golf fun to watch are the venues— the courses themselves. A tennis match involves two players hitting a ball back and forth, trying to keep inside the lines, which are standard everywhere. In golf, every course— every hole—is different. There are hills and dales, water hazards and sand traps, trees, spectators and more. Tennis is one on one. Golf can feature 36 (or more) players out on the course at the same time, with a like number of balls in play. Full disclosure: I have been playing more golf lately, which h a s in creased my interest and appreciation for the sport. Loudon Country Club. Canterbury Woods. The Owl’s Nest in Campton. And Den Brae, that wonderfully forgiving ninehole course in Sanbornton. I played the same ball all nine holes, which was especially nice.

ON GOLF! The 2013 British Open will soon be upon us. The third of golf’s four “Major” championship tournaments begins July 18 at the Muirfield Club in Gullane, Scotland. Professional golf tournaments, especially the Majors, are compelling to watch. Consider that it takes around eight months to crown an NBA or an NHL champion, and only four days to crown a Masters Champion. The drama at a Major really starts with the first round on Thursday, and continuously builds until the Sunday evening climax. Yes, golf is an individual sport, and that’s fine. It’s part of its beauty. Phil Mickelson was entirely on his own playing during the closing holes at Merion Country Club near Philadelphia earlier this month, as the 43-year-old dueled with Justin Rose for a U.S. Open title. Five times a runner-up, Mickelson desperately wanted to reward his family, friends, and fans with that elusive US Open Trophy. Sadly for Phil, he again finished second. But many fans had to relate to Phil as an individual, knowing that time is running out on his career, knowing of his personal generosity, and knowing that he took time off from the tour to support his wife and his mom when they both had breast cancer. Modern broadcast technology with its superb graphics, expert camerawork, and high definition television makes watching

nuclear war with the Soviet Union, may remember that there was nothing like the distrust and backlash against later presidents, whose controversial decisions risked nothing approaching the cataclysm that President Kennedy’s decision could have led to. Even those of us who were not John F. Kennedy supporters, and who were not dazzled by the glitter and glamour of the Kennedy aura, nevertheless felt that the President of the United States was someone who knew much more than we did about the realities on which all our lives depended. Whatever happened to that feeling? Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon happened -- and both were shameless liars. They destroyed not only their own credibility, but the credibility of the office. Even when Lyndon Johnson told us the truth at a crucial juncture during the Vietnam war -- that the Communist offensive of 1968 was a defeat for them, even as the media depicted it as a defeat for us -- we didn’t believe him. In later years, Communist leaders themselves admitted that they had been devastated on the battlefield. But, by then it was too late. What the Communists lost militarily on the ground in Vietnam
they won politically in the American media and in American public opinion. More than 50,000 Americans lost their lives winning battles on the ground in Vietnam, only to have the war lost politically back home. We seem to be having a similar scenario unfolding today in Iraq, where soldiers won the war, only to have politicians lose the peace, as Iraq now increasingly aligns itself with Iran. When Barack Obama squanders his own credibility with his glib lies, he is not just injuring himself during his time in office. He is inflicting a lasting wound on the country as a whole. But we the voters are not blameless. Having chosen an untested man to be president, on the basis of rhetoric, style and symbolism, we have ourselves to blame if we now have only a choice between two potentially tragic fates -- the loss of American lives to terrorism or a further dismantling of our freedoms that has already led many people to ask: “Is this still America?” Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

stupid and doesn’t like brown people.” So did Diana Bauer: “Ah, poor Ms Grosserode; sorry that you find our Constitution so difficult to stomach. Or is it only whites that have the right to freedom of speech.” One Lupe Ramirez left his own message for Grosserode: “We are starting our fundraising and campaign to unseat you. Do you not realize how many Hispanics are in Kansas. You no longer live in Dorothy’s Kansas. You cannot represent your state, you don’t even know who they are.” Grosserode isn’t backing down. She told me Tuesday that she will remain “vigilant” and has given local law enforcement a heads-up. The conservative mom and lawmaker notes sadly that “there are some who would say that when you are in elected office that you should expect this kind of thing. I would disagree. No one deserves threats nor threats to their home and family.” But the amnesty vigilantes have no respect for borders, let alone private front porches, in their quest for another massive federal illegal alien bailout. They have no respect for law-abiding U.S. workers. They have no respect for law-abiding foreigners applying to get into our country the right and proper way. As they besiege Capitol Hill this month demanding more rights and payoffs, take note: These groups do not stand for the American dream. They are a nightmare conglomeration of George Sorosfunded social justice operatives, transnationalists and La Raza militants who detest U.S. sovereignty. National People’s Action, which spearheads progressive “direct actions” at the private homes of their political foes and led the march on Kobach’s home,
is a “community organizing” nonprofit based in -- you guessed it -- Chicago. NPA’s past shakedowns have involved busing in protesters and schoolchildren (using public school buses) to invade the private property of their victims and intimidate their families. They relish their brass knuckles with this anthem: Who’s on your hit list NPA? Who’s on your hit list for today? Take no prisoner, take no names. Kick ‘em in the (a--) when they play their games. As I first reported in 2004, NPA is funded by the Tides Foundation, the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, and the MacArthur, Ford and Rockefeller foundations. It’s also funded by your tax dollars. My research found that the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Massachusetts Department of Education had all given tens of thousands of dollars in grants to NPA members for left-wing activism, identity politics and illegal alien benefits. Rubio, Ryan and other Republicans who’ve made common cause with these welfare-state goons have betrayed fundamental principles of limited government and the rule of law. They’ve allied themselves with the mob. There’s nothing, not one thing, “conservative” about mass illegal alien amnesty. It’s the complete Chicago-ization of America.

Attracting Strangers
by Steve White Contributing Writer
Most of us who feed birds all year long have a group of regulars that visit our backyards. Depending on where you live, this list will likely contain cardinals, different finches and sparrows, a nuthatch or two, chickadees and mourning doves. But what about the other wild bird species? Chances are that you have more species around than you realize. Almost every neighborhood has diverse habitats nearby, such as a stand of trees, a bunch of shrubs, an abandoned patch of old fields or a combination of these areas. These islands of green can be magnets for a number of species. Nearly any bush or shrub of reasonable size will harbor song sparrows. Look for the typical “small, brown birds” you see in commercial areas of you community
and you will recognize these species. Another wild bird you might find very close to your yard is the towhee. The Eastern variety loves leaf litter in the brushy undergrowth beneath the secondary wooded areas common in rural habitats. The first time you see leaves on the ground being flung up like a small tornado, you will remember your first towhee sighting. Towhees sing their trademark “Drink you tea” and have a characteristic note that sounds like “Chewink.” Catbirds, thrashers and northern mockingbirds, members of the mimic family, are possible backyard visitors in similar habitats of dense low growth such as thickets, shrubs and bushes. Catbirds are
robin-sized, grey birds that have a very distinct cat-like “mew” sound. Thrashers sing a variety of notes and regularly repeat the same version over and over again. Mockingbirds have an annoying habit of repeating the last sound they heard before darkness sets in. That barking dog you hear all night long may just have a set of wings! Indigo buntings have a blue color all to their own. Just like the scales of a fish, the available light from the sun exposes hundreds of hues not found in a box of Crayola crayons. These beautiful visitors grace our northern region to raise the next generation of unexpected guests in our backyards. Enjoy your birds!W See bird on 38

imagination, not competition. We teach them to compete. Worship goes on the back burner and we say that we don’t need to be a part of a church; we can do it alone – but God calls us to be a part of a believing community, to be supported and held accountable. We need to do it all – work and play, listen and pray, read, think, laugh and dream. Worship. Risk loving others and risk allowing them to love us. All of it is a gift of God.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 27, 2013
Rev. Dr. Victoria Wood Parrish Retires After 40 Years Rev. Wood Parrish’s first Sunday at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford was July 2, 2000. On Sunday, June 16, a celebration was held to honor her retirement after 40 years of service. Pastor Vickie has made her presence known through her tireless work within our congregation, the community and the NH District of the United Methodist Church. She is active in the local Ministerial Alliance and the Spiritual Life Committee at Lakes Region General Hospital. Vickie has regularly contributed her “Community Church Meditations” Column in the Weirs Times and our services have been broadcast on the local cable channel. She enjoys teaching every age group from the very young of our church to the members of retirement communities. She supported the creation of Wesley Woods Retirement Community and has wel-
comed all to attend services and programs of the church. Members of the Taylor Community, such as her mother Martha Wood, have also benefited from her teaching. She formed and has directed our Hand Bell Choir. She has participated in the Carter Mountain Band and a variety of local musical groups. Vickie has continued to encourage the youth, as well as all church members to take on a role in church leadership. She feels that every new person adds a new dimension to
the congregation and it’s outreach. Vickie has raised three children who attended local schools and are now pursuing advanced degrees. She is looking forward to spending more time with family and friends throughout the country. She is looking forward to welcoming a new grandchild, whose parent’s, Katie and Billy Graham reside in CA. Her son James is also in CA. Daughter Heather resides in NJ with her husband Eric and their son.

Dan, who is majoring in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and would like to go into museum education, finds the Wright Museum the perfect fit in his pursuits. “It is much more convenient to have an internship here as opposed to a larger museum like the Smithsonian,” said Morrison. “Here it is local, accessible and I was bought on board quickly and I get the opportunity to work in all facets of the museum instead of See wright on 31

notably, the “Gremlins” which were inspired by a story by author Roald Dahl when he was a member of the Royal Air Force. “When a piece of military equipment, mostly aircraft, had a problem that couldn’t be pinpointed it would be said that ‘it must have been a Gremlin,’” said Warner. Also for the younger crowd are less sophisticated models of ships, tanks and others to assemble.

There is a new line of Disney inspired toys and dolls. Most

The entire project takes about six weeks. “We have been excited to have Dan with us this summer,” said Warner. “We are hoping to expand on our internship program as we go forward. The Wright Museum is a great place for the experience. We hope anyone who is interested will contact us

used this propeller. When navy maintenance detected separation of its laminated wooden layers, it was declared not airworthy and presented to Richards. Another unique item was donated by board member, Mike Hashem. It’s a souvenir bell that was cast from metal collected from German aircraft wrecks found around Great Britain. They were sold as fundraisers and have portraits of Churchill, Stalin and FDR around the edges. The handle is decorated with a “V” for victory as well as encircled by the Morse Code characters for the letter “V.” It is housed in a dis-

play case that highlights the united efforts of the United States and Great Britain during the war. “It fits in perfectly with this display,” said Anne
Blodget, who has recently become the first chairwoman of the Wright Museum. Blodget, who has vacationed in Wolfeboro for sixty-two summers before moving here full-time after winterizing her grandparents summer home, has vast experience having been a part of the Boston Children’s Museum for twenty years. Anne is taking over for Roy Ballentine, a life-long Wolfeboro resident and businessman who was the chairman for the last ten years.
“Roy came to the museum at a time it really needed stewardship,” said Warner. “He shepherded it through some hard economic times and developed great community relations.” Blodget’s first large order of business comes with the selection of a new full-time Executive Director. “We have a great, large field of great candidates,” said Blodget. “We hope to have a new director in place by the fall.” Another new addition is the completion of the
1944 section of the Wright Museum’s “Time Tunnel” a walk-through the years 1939-1945, each year in separate rooms and each room divided into home and war front with a strong emphasis on the former. The 1944 Room was underwritten by Ron and Susan Goodgame and it has an added emphasis on special effects with media.

my engines to start each time I pull the starting cord. However, the information I got from Wayne has caused me to modify my approach to storing small gasoline engines. The gasoline you and I purchase contains 10 percent ethanol. Using gasoline that contains more than 10 percent ethanol can cause significant damage to small engines, so avoid it at all costs. Gasoline begins do degrade about 30 days after it’s pumped. If you’ve not used all the gasoline in your gas cans within that time, pour it into your truck’s fuel tank and drive to the gas station to get fresh fuel for your small engines. That’s what I do. I never put gasoline in my small engines that’s older than 30 days. Understand that ethanol-based fuels tend to attract water. Water is heavier than gasoline. If you don’t operate your engines on a frequent basis, a layer of ethanolenriched water can settle to the bottom of the tank and be drawn up into the carburetor and engine. This water-ethanol blend is highly corrosive to small engine parts. Gum and varnish, chem-
ical compounds in the gasoline, form as the fuel degrades. This gum and varnish can lead to stuck intake valves, clogged fuel lines and jets in the carburetor. This could be why your engine is refusing to start. It could be clogged with this gunk. I keep my small engines in great shape by only filling them with enough gasoline to do what I want them to do each time. That keeps fresh gasoline in the tank, fuel lines and carburetor. I discovered that if I ran the engine completely out of gas at the end of each season, right before storing it for months, I’d be able to restart the engine with no issues. However, after talking with Wayne, I’ve decided that state-of-the-art fuel treatments and stabilizers are probably the best way to protect my small engines throughout the entire year. Some modern fuel additives have a triple anti-oxidant formulation that slows down the fuel degradation issue. The chemicals in the additives react with the gasoline, preventing outside water vapor from causing the gasoline to deteriorate. The additives protect the entire fuel system and all engine parts exposed to the gasoline. Metal parts receive a protective coating that prevent rust and corrosion. Metal deac-
tivators in the additives stop aggressive chemical reactions caused by dissolved metal ions in the fuel. Detergents in the additives help prevent the formation of the gum and varnishes that cause hard or no-starting issues. You can get long-lasting results if you decide to use the advanced formula fuel stabilizers. If you want two years of protection, just add one-half ounce to each 2.5 gallons of gasoline. Double the amount of stabilizer and you can protect gasoline up to three years. Since I take a conservative approach to small engine care and maintenance, I’m going to start to add the fuel stabilizer to all my gasoline. I want to protect the metal parts in my engine. The fuel stabilizers are not expensive, and one 8-ounce bottle treats up to 40 gallons of gasoline. Believe me, I can blow lots of snow and cut lots of grass with 40 gallons of gasoline!

go into what my thoughts are regarding the police interaction. I will leave that for you to decide. Some believe the protester crossed the line, and some believe the police overreacted to this protester. In any case, this type of interaction holds nothing positive for either side of the debate. Progressives love this type of thing as it serves to paint patriots in the “crazy” category, and liberty loving citizens will only have to fight that frequently touted lie. But, certainly there was plenty of passion on both sides. And it only got better as the night went on. As the rally proceeded, a long list of gun violence victims’ names were read to the crowd. According to a New Hampshire Union Leader report, one of the names was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was one of the Boston Marathon TERRORIST bombers. He was killed on April 19, and though police were shooting at him, his own brother killed him by running him over with a car! Somehow, the title of “victim” doesn’t quite fit this guy. HOW could this TERRORIST’s name be on a VICTIM list? This leads to the question, how many other similar “victims” are listed on the “No More Names”
bus tour. Does this list include criminals shot at by POLICE? Does it contain criminals who shoot and try to kill each other? Maybe this list is not what it is cracked up to be? Is it really about true VICTIMS or just another way to try to paint gun ownership as an ”evil” for society? All in all, aside from the nifty bus, Mayor Bloomberg’s bus tour is nothing but a canard. I am sure the remaining 24 states on this tour have lots to look forward to. But, let’s hope the “No More Names” list is corrected before it is read in the next city.

hosting the largest number of those fleeing Syria. Bluntly stated, of Syria’s population of 21 million, one in three people has now been dislocated by the conflict. So what to do? Expanding the military option now will only fuel the conflict and expand the humanitarian tide which destabilizes neighboring states. Solving the painfully complex sectarian war while in the American interest, may not be in Washington’s capacity or reach. The crisis needs an elusive political solution. The U.S. and the Europeans must press for a serious peace conference, where Syrians bargain and posture with other Syrians without preconditions. This is not impossible, but certainly overdue. The alternatives are more predictable. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.
