Kurds and Druze Threatened To The Editor: The conflicts in Syria have increased the complexity of the Middle East and exacerbated the instability in the region. Terrorists have taken advantage of the instability, and have made dramatic territorial gains in Syria and Iraq. They now threaten two minoritiesKurds and Druze. The Kurds, who are nonMuslims, are starting to receive military aid from the U.S., and this should be increased since they are trustworthy and reliable fighters willing to take on ISIS and other terrorist groups. We should send equipment and supplies directly to the Kurds and not through the Iraqi Army. The Druze minority, a Muslim off-shoot sect, is threatened by ISIS and alNusra. There are 800,000 Druze in Syria with most of them living in the southern province of Sweida, which is near the Israeli border. Israel, which is home to 125,000 Druze who are deeply assimilated into the Israeli military and Israeli society, cannot allow the Druze of southern Syria to be decimated and possibly suffer genocide. Israel should provide a safe Syrian territory for the Druze and equip them so they can defend themselves. If necessary, Israel should provide direct military intervention to protect the Druze of Southern Syria. Donald A. Moskowitz Londonderry, NH.

Our Story

Rubio Wrong To The Editor: For a skeptic, Marco Rubio has quite a lot of conviction. Few climate change deniers actually admit that they believe, unequivocally, that climate change is not caused by humans. But Senator Rubio appears quite sure: on TV shows and radio programs across the country, he’s said we don’t have a significant impact—and made that stance official by voting against a resolution saying that climate change was real and humans were responsible. For context, even Rand Paul voted yes on that! What makes Rubio’s stance on climate change so concerning isn’t just his position but also his basis for it. He’s sure about his own reality when it comes to climate, he substantiates it by claiming that the science isn’t settled. So why does he act like the science is settled in favor of his position? In a recent Face the Nation interview, Rubio said, “Science can’t tell us what impact it would have on reversing these changes, but I can tell you with certainty, it would have a devastating impact on our economy.� He couldn’t be more wrong. Solar energy is a multi-billion dollar industry that is growing exponentially and providing thousands of jobs to the states that encourage its growth. A leader like Rubio in the White House wouldn’t be

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.

a leader at all—especially when it comes to climate change. In fact, he would stunt job growth and kill a budding industry, all because of his conviction on the science he calls unsettled. Phil Sherwood Atkinson, NH.

Expecting Less Government To The Editor: So lets talk about the parts of the State budget that gets no air. When it came time to put together her budget the Governor had granted the Dept. of Fish & Game ( dept of bait hunting and fishing ) 1.5 million bucks from the general fund, allowed the dept to raid dedicated funds within the dept ie: wildlife and fisheries restoration funds and the boat ramp funds. All of this to offset the shortfall in the dept., as if there ever was a shortfall. The House Finance gave the dept. $600.000 to be used for search and rescue overtime, $300.000 per year for the next two years, and that’s it. Then came the Senate Finance to put in what is most important to them, retaining voters votes. The Hunting and fishing members only club ( F&G ) walked in, sat down and with an air of arrogance, proceeded to ask for the Senate to restore the $1.5 million to the dept so they could give all of the 191 state workers in that department a pay and benefits raise.

Live Free or Die.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Starting Early

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

I realize it is way too early to be doing this, but I thought I would try a new strategy this time. Today (which is whatever day you are reading this) I am officially declaring my candidacy for governor of New Hampshire under the Flatlander Ticket. My handlers insist that I am making a mistake; that I should wait until next year until I find out who my opponents might be so I can enter the race with a pre-planned campaign and hit the ground running with the correct amount of empty promises and as well as partially researched mud to sling at my opposition. I disagree. I think it’s time to do something different in politics, to shake things up a bit. By entering the race I can start with my campaign slogan: “The First One In In The First In The Nation� I also think that by entering the race during the presidential primary cycle I can establish a positive image in people’s minds by using psychology. When I show up at a bean hole bean dinner I can go up to people and shake their hand and say: “I’d really appreciate your vote next year.� “Oh, are you running for president TOO!!� “Not at all, I’m running for governor.� “Thank goodness. Here have some bean hole beans.� It seems pretty clear

that our present governor, Maggie “Let It Ride� Hassan will be following the logical progression of people who plan to spend their lives running for one office or another instead of actually contributing something useful to society and will most likely run for the U.S. Senate next year. This means there will be a wide open field and the sooner one gets in the better. It is important to gather early support and get a grassroots campaign going. A grassroots campaign is where you find a lot of ordinary folk who are willing to give up all of their free time to help you get elected. There are a lot of these people around who would rather help you, even though you don’t even know them, than to get significant things done in their own lives. They will stand at intersections on rainy days holding signs with your name on it; they will wear buttons and put bumper stickers on their cars; many will even put large signs on their lawns; they will risk their safety by going door to door to ask people to vote for you. The best ones will pay a bunch of money to go to a dinner where they will hear you say the same things they’ve heard you say on television a zillion times already and hope there is enough time at the end of the dinner to have their picture taken with you. When all is said and done and you get elected they will cheer and carry on like they accomplished something great. You will go to the victory party and act pretty excited and thank them all for all they have done for you. After that they will go home, satisfied that they have helped to bring great change.

It is important that you take advantage of these grassroots people early on. By the time you plan to run for a second term they will realize that you don’t really give a rats you-know-what about them and nothing that you promised will ever happen and they will then find someone else who they can give all their free time to and to heck with their own lives. You needn’t feel bad about this, it is something that has been going on for decades and is part of the American way. So, by starting early I can get some of these people on board before they start believing someone else. The second reason to get in early is to find the people who have a lot of money to give you to help you get elected. They are completely different than the grassroots people because what they say really matters. As I officially launch my campaign for governor I am asking for your help. I’d love to have you help with my grassroots campaign. Your selfless commitment on working every day to help me bring my message of change to the people touches my heart. Of course, if you have other things to do and you just want to give me money, that’s fine as well. Okay, let’s get started.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, July 9, 2015

Fanning the Flames of Another Black Church Arson Hoax America is still reeling from the horrific Charleston, S.C., massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church that by Michelle Malkin claimed the Syndicated Columnist lives of nine innocent people. The last thing the community and our country need are hysterical journalists compounding the pain with inflammatory reporting on an unsubstantiated “epidemic” of black church arsons. On Monday, a Baltimore Sun lead editorial decried “a series of mysterious fires at African-American churches across the South” in the wake of the Charleston murders. The newspaper cited a “pattern” of attacks, including what it claimed was an “uptick in attacks on 37 black churches in the South” in the 1990s that “prompted President Bill Clinton to set up a church-arson investigative task force.” The Sun neglected to mention that Clinton had falsely claimed at the time that he had “vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child”-- an assertion immediately debunked by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The Sun also neglected to mention that the manufactured media coverage that launched the 1990s black church arson juggernaut, fueled by former USA Today reporter Gary Fields’ 61 fear-mongering stories, fell apart under scrutiny. Fields’ own employer was forced to admit that “analysis of the 64 fires since 1995 shows only four can be

conclusively shown to be racially motivated.” Reminder: Several of the hyped hate crimes against black churches had been committed by black suspects; a significant number of the black churches were, in fact, white churches; and the complex motives behind the crimes included mental illness, vandalism and concealment of theft. Once again, falsified history is repeating itself. The NAACP, which capitalized on the Clinton-era race hustle, is now pushing the new arson epidemic narrative. The organization remains shamelessly undaunted after fueling the fake NAACP “bombing” in Colorado Springs earlier this year. The group’s CEO, Cornell Brooks, tweeted the incendiary “#WhoIsBurningBlackChurches” hashtag on Tuesday and disclosed that he is “informing churches, reviewing legislation, pushing media awareness and deciding legal options.” The left-wing instigators at the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose stated mission is to “destroy” its political opponents and whose target map and list of social conservative groups were used by left-wing domestic terrorist Floyd Lee Corkins to shoot up the Washington, D.C., office of the Family Research Council in 2012, baselessly reported: “In what may not be a coincidence, a string of nighttime fires have damaged or destroyed at least six predominately black churches in four southern states in the past week.” Teach for America alumnus agitator DeRay McKesson quickly added his Twitter kerosene to the fire, reflexively claiming that the “KKK” was responsible for a halfdozen black church burnings.

“Standing For Conservatism – Game On”

I have been speaking with a number of politicians these days. It has led to some very interesting conversations regarding how the by Jane Cormier “political process” Hooksett, NH. works. Frankly, I am weary of hearing the same old script…”only MODERATES can win” or “we need to reach across the aisle” or we “didn’t have the votes”, and so on. It is most troublesome that our elected officials campaign on one set of principles and then once in office, seem to vote on quite a different set of principles. On this note, I have started paying attention to the NH Executive Council which functions under the Governor’s Office. It is very educational to see just how much money flows through the EC and how our taxpayer dollars are being spent. You can check out some expenditures at: See malkin on 46 http://sos.nh.gov/nhsos_con-

tent.aspx?id=8589948378. If you are like me, you will be horrified at the dollars flowing through the conduit of the Governor’s office. Indeed, some of these spent monies are dubious if not outright taxpayer theft. The Governor and Council form of government is unique to the State of New Hampshire. No other state in the nation has two governmental branches as accountable to its citizens as New Hampshire. The current breakdown of the Executive Council is three Republicans (Councilors Joe Kenney, Chris Sununu, and Dave Wheeler) to two Democrats (Councilors Van Ostern and Pappas). At its meeting on June 24, there were 198 financial items offered to the EC for vote from the Governor’s office. ALL 198 items passed. Read it and weep. 198 requests – YIKES! And there is yet another cause for concern. There is a breakdown of federal funds and state funds within these proposals. When one sees the amount of federal dollars See cormier on 46

Fiat Government and Magic Money Few things irk me more than propaganda masquerading as analysis. These are irksome times. By execuby Ken Gorrell tive fiat the Northfield, NH. president is changing overtime regulations effecting millions of workers. He says it is “good for workers who want fair pay, and it’s good for business owners who are already paying their employees what they deserve”. He made the announcement in a blog posting at the left-leaning Huffington Post. Yes, a blog. Beyond the staggering chutzpah – a man who has barely dipped a toe into the privatesector labor market lecturing business owners about what is “good” for them – the evidence shows that the president’s plan

is based on magic numbers. The Progressive propaganda machine has been working overtime, but their missives are untethered to market realities and fail to pass the smell test. You can read all 295 pages of the proposed change to “29 CFR Part 541” if you want to, but I recommend holding your nose. From the Executive Summary: • Currently, the line between “exempt” (i.e., salaried) employees and hourly workers is $455 per week. • The proposed regulations would set that level to $921 per week. Anyone earning less than $48,000 would become a timeclock puncher. • This level would update annually using either a fixed percentile or the CPI-U. Where did the $921 figure come from? If it came from some careful analysis of our complex labor markets, global economic conditions, and the unique challenges of individual business sectors operating in different

Bloody Friday PARIS -“Terrorism: the Shockwave of Bloody Friday,” headlined the French daily Le Monde, after a series of deadly, coordinated, by John J. Metzler and barbaric Syndicated Columnist attacks by radical Islamists on three continents. The massacre of twenty-eight European (mostly British) tourists in Tunisia at a beach resort, the grisly beheading of a plant manager near Lyon, France, the senseless sectarian slaughter of twenty-six Muslim worshipers at a Shiite mosque in Kuwait, and the killings of 150 civilians in Kobane, Syria by Islamic State, are the latest sanguinary statistics in a war which many people choose to politely forget. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls put the matter succinctly, “we are facing a major terrorist menace,” and for the first time, he called the threat a, “war of civilizations.” Ironically the Socialist Prime

Minister Valls, after all, is now using the terminology of the previous conservative government of Nicolas Sarkozy. As ironic, the left- leaning Le Monde, stated in a front page editorial, “Unity in Face of Barbarism,” in which the paper wrote of “carnage without borders,” coming from Islamic terrorism. Surprising but not really a surprise after the horrible start to the year with the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris back in January. After the attack on the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, as well as the assault on a Jewish supermarket in Paris, the facts were stunningly clear, for a least a few weeks. Thus six months ago, people of all political stripes proclaimed “Je suis Charlie,” (I am Charlie) in a gesture of solidarity with a free press. But let me analyze the recent attacks. First, in Tunisia where a weak post-Arab Spring government has been the target of Islamic jihadis precisely to destabilize the moderate largely secular country surrounded by an arc See Metzler on 42

economic conditions, you’ll find no evidence of it in 295 pages of bureaucratese. Instead, you’ll find out that $921 is the 40th percentile of national median earnings for all full-time salaried workers. The report says that this “giv(es) support to the Department’s proposed salary level” because “using median earnings as a point of comparison supports that the 40th percentile of full-time salaried workers would provide an appropriate line of demarca-

tion.” In short: It’s a Goldilocks number. Not too big and not too small, it’s just right for the simple minds of the Occupy movement and the usual Progressive cheerleaders. This is not analysis, it’s magic. Watch me pull a number out of my, uh…hat. “Hey, hey, ho, ho, 40th percentile is the way to go!” sings the president’s Greek chorus. They want you to believe that this rule change will put more money in workers’ pockets, will greatly reSee gorrell on 44

Supreme Court Disasters Many people are looking at the recent Supreme Court decisions about ObamaCare and same-sex marriage in terms of whether they by Thomas Sowell t h i n k t h e s e are good or Syndicated Columnist bad policies. That is certainly a legitimate concern, for both those who favor those policies and those who oppose them. But there is a deeper and more long-lasting impact of these decisions that raise the question whether we are still living in America, where “we the people” are supposed to decide what kind of society we want, not have our betters impose their notions on us. The Constitution of the United States says that the federal government has only those powers specifically granted to it by the Constitution -- and that all other powers belong either to the states or to the people themselves. That is the foundation of our freedom, and that is what is being dismantled by both this year’s Obamacare decision and last year’s ObamaCare decision, as well as by the Supreme Court’s decision imposing a redefinition of marriage. Last year’s Supreme Court decision declaring ObamaCare constitutional says that the federal government can order individual citizens to buy the kind of insurance the government wants them to buy, regardless of what the citizens themselves prefer.

The Constitution gave the federal government no such power, but the Supreme Court did. It did so by citing the government’s power to tax, even though the ObamaCare law did not claim to be taxing. This year’s ObamaCare decision likewise ignored the actual words of the law, and decided that the decisions of 34 states not to participate in ObamaCare Exchanges, even to get federal subsidies, would not prevent those federal subsidies to be paid anyway, to Exchanges set up by the federal government itself. When any branch of government can exercise powers not authorized by either statutes or the Constitution, “we the people” are no longer free citizens but subjects, and our “public servants” are really our public masters. And America is no longer America. The freedom for which whole generations of Americans have fought and died is gradually but increasingly being taken away from us with smooth and slippery words. This decision makes next year’s choice of the next President of the United States more crucial than ever, because with that office goes the power to nominate justices of the Supreme Court. Democrats have consistently nominated people who shared their social vision and imposed their policy preferences, too often in disregard of the Constitution. Republicans have complained about it but, when the power of judicial appointment was in the hands of Republican presidents, they have too often appointed justices who participated in the See Sowell on 46

,FFQ :PVS *OWFTUNFOUT GSPN (PJOH PO i7BDBUJPOw It’s that time of year when many of us hit the road for a summer vacation. If you are fortunate, you will be joining them — after all, “all work and no play� is a difficult way to live. But while you may not think it beneficial to work all the time, the same can’t be said of your investments and your investment strategy — because, ideally, they should never stop laboring on your behalf. How can you avoid “taking a vacation� as an investor? Here are a few ideas: t %PO U MFU ZPVS QPSUGPMJP HFU iMB[Z w Laziness is fine for vacations, but it’s not so great for an investment portfolio. When you invest, it can be easy to let things drift along and stay the same as they’ve always been. But over time, things can change: Your goals can change somewhat, your family situation can certainly change and even your investments themselves may change. That’s why it’s important to review your portfolio and your investment choices regularly, possibly with the help of a financial professional. You may not need to make drastic changes, but even modest-seeming adjustments may make a big difference down the road. t %PO U DIPPTF BO JOWFTUNFOU NJY UIBU KVTU iTJUT BSPVOE w If you were to put all your investment dollars in conservative vehicles, such as certificates of deposit (CDs), your principal would likely not experience much volatility — which is good. But your money almost certainly would not have the growth potential to help

you reach your long-term goals — which is not so good. That’s why you will need to own some investments, such as stocks and stock-based instruments, that offer growth potential. It’s true these investments will fluctuate in value, and there’s no guarantee you won’t lose money on them. You can help address this risk by focusing on the long term and by creating an investment mix that is suitable for your situation. t %PO U CFDPNF B iTQFOE IBQQZw JOWFTUPS It can be pretty easy to spend more on vacations than you had planned. For some reason, perhaps the carefree nature of a vacation, the act of spending money seems less grounded in reality — until you get home and see the bills. As an investor, you can also get carried away with your transactions — and it can cost you. To be specific, if you are constantly buying and selling investments, you’ll be making it harder for yourself to follow a unified, long-term investment strategy. As mentioned, you will need to make changes as needed, over time, to your portfolio, but making moves such as chasing after “hot� investments, or giving up on other investments after one bad period, will likely not benefit you and could prove detrimental to your progress. As someone who spends most of your life working, you may very much appreciate your vacations. But as someone trying to achieve important financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you shouldn’t take a “vacation� from investing — and you shouldn’t let your investments take one, either. As you know from your career and your other activities, making a consistent effort may pay off — and it’s the same with investing.

— OFF THE SHELF — Back To School With Billy Boyle by Debby Montague Book Reviewer

The White Ghost James R. Benn, Soho Press, September 1, 2015 “Hell, if worrying doesn’t help, as Kaz said, why not be an optimist.” I thought a lot about my high school history teacher, Earl F. Tonet, as I read The White Ghost James R. Benn’s tenth Billy Boyle World War II Mystery. I credit Mr. Tonet, or Earl F. as we affectionately called him behind his back, with my love for and appreciation of history. American History, as it was known back in the day, was taught during junior year and the greater portion of the studies concerned World War II. Mr. Tonet would introduce our studies by saying that the only real battles took place in the Pacific Theater, specifically what he termed the Central Pacific. Tonet was a Marine who, if my memory serves me, fought in the Battle of Tenaru and the Solomon Island campaign so memories of him were close while I read about Billy’s mission in the Solomons. After nine reports of Billy’s assignments in the European theater on first glance it may be difficult to picture Billy in the Pacific. The Pacific Theater is for the Navy and the Marines, not the army and not a lieutenant assigned to General Eisenhower’s staff, but sometimes power and influence trump expectation.

It’s 1943 and Billy is in North Africa hoping to spend some time with his girl, Diana Seaton, after the rough times they had both recently had in Italy. R & R, however, is not in Billy’s immediate future. Instead he receives orders directly from the War Office at the behest of Ambassador Joseph Ken-

nedy to go to the Solomon Islands and clear Jack Kennedy’s name from any involvement in the death of a native scout. Though fellow Boston Irish the Boyles and the Kennedys aren’t likely to raise a pint together. There’s bad blood going back many years so Billy isn’t crazy about helping Jack, but he has his orders and off he goes to Tulagi in the Solomon Islands to find out about Jack Kennedy’s involvement, if any, with the murder of a native Coastwatcher. For number ten Benn gives us a current and

past encounter between Billy and John F. Kennedy. It’s not far-fetched that Billy might have crossed paths with Jack Kennedy in the pre-war days, and Benn’s handling of their relationship both before the war and during the time of the novel is deft and credible. I’ve never been able to decide if it’s Benn’s impeccable research and his compelling writing that make Billy’s encounters with famous figures as well as Billy’s thoughts and actions throughout the series thoroughly believable or if, perhaps, Benn has somehow managed to time travel. In any case Billy has always been for me a very real person, “created” as Rex Stout, author of the Nero Wolfe mysteries might describe him rather than “contrived.” For the reader, for me anyway, a created character is real and completely believable in his thoughts and actions. Benn knows how to write, not only great characters like Billy Boyle, but also great scenes. The depiction of the battle between the PT boat transporting Billy, the Japanese Zeros, and the American Wildcat is as close as I ever want to get to a battle. And it’s not the only “hold-yourbreath” passage in the book. The story of the Coastwatchers - the Australians, New Zealanders See montague on 18

PROUD TO BE LOCALLY OWNED & INDEPENDENT! ONE CALL... MULTIPLE QUOTES HOME AUTO BUSINESS LIFE REC VEHICLE

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

TED, TY ‌ AND JOE Summer reading in 2015 included “The Kid,â€? Ben Bradlee Jr.’s wonderful book on Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams. The 800 page tome has fodder for dozens of columns, but one anecdote really made me laugh. In 1959 the Red Sox conducted spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Williams was visited by a fishing pal from Rhode Island named Joe Lindia. Ted wanted Joe to meet someone so Williams drove Lindia to a seedy motel room where an old guy wearing boxer shorts answered the door. It was Ty Cobb, the baseball Hall-of-Famer with the .367 lifetime batting average, who was in Arizona for some Cactus League action. The subsequent conversation quickly turned to baseball. The psychotic Cobb and the bipolar Williams became increasingly animated as they argued about hitting approaches and which baseball era featured better players. A serious baseball fan, Lindia thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, which became especially validating for Joe when Ted and Ty kept looking to Lindia to affirm THEIR particular perspective. Suddenly these two ultra-competitive, strongly opinionated baseball legends—the two greatest hitters in baseball history—were desperately competing for Lindia’s approval. Bradlee’s book didn’t say how Lindia handled the attention, but accord-

There comes a time in every backyard birder’s experience when the world seems to have forgotten them. All attempts to attract nature into their visual microcosm have floundered. The world is silent, even the most common critters are not to be seen. Your neighbors’ yards are filled with the sights and sounds of life. Your environment, however, is a lifeless vacuum. There are numerous explanations for this phenomenon. If you have always had success in entertaining wild birds to your feeding stations, the offerings have not altered and no new human dangers have been introduced, the emptiness can be disheartening. Fear not. Birds have excellent memories and your food sources are literally one of hundreds of choices locked into their memory banks. When nature provides an abundance of food, birds prefer to stay in the comfort of the woods. If it is nesting season, our feathered friends are fostering the hatchlings. Cold seasons court territorial issues and the safety of flocks, greatly reducing sightings in many backyards. Natural predators such as hawks or owls will temporarily reduce wildlife numbers in a very quick manner. The most successful birding environment is that which most closely resembles the natural world wild birds are accustomed to. Wild food is always fresh and available. It is not spoiled or rotten. Feeders must be maintained and fresh seed is a neces-

sity. A field of sunflowers does not change to poppies overnight. Your seed selections should remain the same. While a minority of food sources may disappear overnight due to a natural occurrence such as a fire, for the most part wild foods are a constant. Backyard feeders that are always available each and every day are more likely to attract regular visitors than the occasion birder who only offers food when birds seem to be around. If birds have to travel to locate water, they tend to continue on that path to search for sustenance. Nearby ponds, rivers or lakes are never a substitute for a properly located birdbath in your own backyard. For the novice birder, one of the most difficult characteristics of wild birds to understand is that these magnificent creatures do not depend on humans for food. Wild birds have been around for thousands of years and have developed survival techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, even in the harshest winters. Backyard bird feeding has only been popular in the last few decades.

Birds are our guests and we need to treat them as such. By offering fresh food and water, a safe environment and hospitable actions, our guests will be happy to visit. Think of wild birds like a favorite friend or relative. How do you treat them? What do you offer them at your home? If they are not a fan of brussel sprouts, would you serve them this food simply because it is on sale? Your backyard birds are no different. So the next time birds are absent from outside your window, do not fret. They are simply doing what comes natural. Enjoy your birds. Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt. 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve White is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of “Bird Calls� with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM. Wild Bird Depot has donated over $5,000 to local rehabilitators and local nature centers since 1996. Be sure to check out our website www.wildbirddepot.com.

Nice to Hear Someone to Trust Spank the “Establishment” Where is John Boehner? What is your secret John? Who threw our US Constitution out? The Declaration of by Niel Young Advocates Columnist Independence, the Bill of Rights; where are they? The “Establishment” stepping where no republican should be stepping? How stupid is the “stupid party”? It is enough to drive us to the elect Donald Trump president campaign. What is it that George Pataki from New York is doing to have fellow republicans turn their backs on Trump the candidate? I have known for years that the “Establishment GOP” and the US Chamber of Commerce have a very low opinion of principled common sense conservatives within the Party. Watch for the future attacks on Trump by amoeba republicans. US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: “Government cannot make us equal; it can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law.” ******** These cases are listed as a demonstration that better prevention of illegal immigration is a public safety issue even though these cases are not representative of the illegal alien population in general. These cases refer to crimes other than terrorism (fairus.org/issue/examplesof-serious-crimes-of-illegal-aliens) January 2014 — Jasim Mohammed Hasin Ramadon, aka Jay Hendrix, an Iraqi immigrant, was found guilty in Colorado on multiple counts of sexual assault. He faces a possible sentence of life

in prison. Sarmad Fadhi “Levi” Mohammed, another Iraqi was earlier convicted for the same assault and sentenced to 16 years in prison. An additional three Iraqi immigrants involved in the assault have received misdemeanor convictions. (Colorado Gazette, January 21, 2014) February 2014 — Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, an illegal alien from Mexico, was found guilty of two counts of a felony for failure to perform the duties of a driver and sentenced to three years of probation and 250 hours of community service. Garcia-Cisneros committed a hit-and-run that resulted in the death of two stepsisters, 6-year-old Anna Dieter-Eckerdt and 11-year-old Abigail Robinson. (Associated Press, Feb. 4, 2013) May 2014 — Humberto Gonzalez, an illegal alien, was convicted in New Jersey of criminal assault and sentenced to 50 years in prison. The rape occurred in 2005 and Gonzalez was not identified until a DNA match was made following an arrest in Texas for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Gonzalez also had a criminal record in Louisiana and Arkansas. (Times of Trenton, May 9, 2014) June 2015 — A Salvadoran, Mauricio Hernandez, convicted of rape and murder of the baby born to his victim was sentenced to 50 years in prison in Texas and faces deportation when he has served his sentence. (The Dallas Morning News, June 5, 2015) May 2015 — A Salvadoran, Julio C. Saravia, faces deportation following a prison sentence of 29 years for rape of a minor, to which he pled guilty in Virginia. May 2015 — Two Mexicans, Juan HernandezSanchez and (FNU) CanelaPerez, pled guilty in Port-

land, Oregon and were sentenced to seven years in state prison for distribution of methamphetamines and heroin. (Oregonian, May 14, 2015) May 2015 —Bernabe Flores, a Mexican illegal alien, pled guilty to firstdegree rape in California and was sentenced to eight years in prison. (TimesHerald Record, May 7, 2015) April 2015 — Victor Garzon-Alvarez, a Mexican illegal alien pled guilty and was sentenced in New Jersey to 14 years in prison for murder. (NJ.com, April 22, 2015) April 2015 — Sergio Quezada Lopez, a Mexican illegal alien who had been deported four times, was sentenced in Oregon to 15 years in prison for a heroin overdose death. His brother, Gerardo Chalke Lopez, also a previously deported alien, was earlier sentenced to 18 years in prison on the same charges. (Oregonian, April 29, 2015) April 2015 — Three illegal aliens, Uriel Ramirez-Perez, Darwin Zuniga-Rocha, and Eliseo Mateo Perez, pled guilty to first-degree sexual abuse (rape) in New York and were sentenced to time served in jail and will be deported. (Daily News, April 29, 2015) March 2015 — Javier Guerrero Molina, a Mexican illegal alien, was sentenced in federal court in Jacksonville, Florida to 10 years imprisonment for attempting to transport a minor to engage in sexual activity. Guerrero said he had entered the United States illegally in 1999 or 2000. (Dept. of Justice, Middle District of Florida, March 30, 2015) “Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of a field in hope that the cow will back up to them.” -- Elbert Hubbard

and native Pacific islanders who worked behind enemy lines and kept the Allies informed of Japanese troop movements – is one that I don’t recall hearing about in Mr. Tonet’s class, and as in other Billy Boyle mysteries I appreciate the addition to my WWII knowledge. Benn gives a bit of history which may at best be a footnote in high school history classes a greater and deserved status in The White Ghost using real Coastwatchers along with fictional characters to tell about the important part they played in the war in the Pacific. I’ve enjoyed all of James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle World War II Myster ies, and each one has something special for me. Sometimes it’s the way Billy works through a moral dilemma or problem fulfilling his orders. Other times it’s a picture Benn paints. And on occasion it’s just a word or a phrase. This time it was the raising of memories of a great teacher from a long time ago. I

James Benn think Earl F. would have been assigning The White Ghost as part of our studies way back in junior year US History, and in spite of his statement that the war only took place in the Pacific he might have even assigned

Billy Boyle or Blood Alone for a little extra credit. My assignment for now is to get a copy of The White Ghost to Mr. Tonet at the Soldiers Home in Springfield, Massachusetts. I think he’ll like it as much as I did.

DEAR TIM: Our house has a free-standing decorative brick wall with an iron gate. In various places the bricks are crumbling. In some places the entire face of the brick has come off. I do not have enough replacement bricks to replace the damaged bricks. Must I replace the bricks that are merely crumbling or could sealants and mortar repair preserve them in their present state? I have had three contractors out for estimates and they all say they cannot match the brick, mostly because it is oversize. What would you do to solve this problem and prevent future brick disintegration? --Boyd B., Kalamazoo, Mich.

Window Designs for You

The brick just under the concrete cap to the right of the gate is falling apart. The challenge is to locate replacement brick to match. how to use it by watching a video at my AsktheBuilder. com website. Type “concrete epoxy repair video” into my search engine. The odds are you’re going to have to use existing brick you have or locate some of the original brick. I realize the contractors told you they couldn’t match the brick, but from your photo your home seems newer and there’s a very good chance the brick suppliers in your area can help you. You’re going to have to take several of your bricks around and visit each and every brick supplier to discover the truth if the bricks, indeed, are no longer made. Your search may have to be expanded to a 50 or 100-mile radius to every brick supplier you can find. It will be well worth a few short road trips to find the brick. Let’s talk about why the

bricks in the decorative wall are failing. Not all bricks are the same to start with. Brick starts out as clay, and when it’s fired in a kiln the heat changes the mineralogy, transforming the soft clay into an artificial rock. The type of clay, the temperature in the kiln and the length of time the brick is fired all combine to control how hard and weather resistant the brick becomes. Some paving brick becomes so hard it almost resembles granite cobblestones with respect to hardness and ability to resist decades of exposure to ice and snow. Softer brick doesn’t fare well when installed in an exposed wall like you have. The same brick on the walls of your home does quite well because the roof overhang helps minimize water infiltration into the

or eighty photographers from all different news sources killed during the war,” said Culver. “About seven or eight were killed on D-Day alone.” Almost two hundred AP reporters and photographers went to wherever the war was being fought to cover the events. Five reporters lost their lives and seven won Pulitzer Prizes, including Joe Rosenthal who took the famous photograph of the American Flag being

raised at Iwo Jima on Mount Suribachi. The AP’s photographic coverage of World War II was as comprehensive as any compiled by one organization. The photographs sent to American newspapers by the AP during the war rival the importance of Matthew Brady’s coverage of the American Civil War, the first war to be photographed.

well and the viewer can often get lost in one picture to the next noticing the detail in everything from the landscape to the faces, which often bring to life the emotion of those moments in time seventy years ago. “Theses visual images will do something different to each person who sees them,� said Culver. “Each person will see something different and will carry that with them long after this exhibit is gone.� The “Memories Of World War II: Photographs From The Associated Press Archives� exhibit was made possible with sponsorship by The Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation; BJS Communications; Poulos Insurance and The Weirs Times. “We are very grateful to the support of our sponsors,� said Culver. “Without them we could never bring exhibits like these or any others to the museum. We can never thank them enough.� Prepare for not just a visual history of World War II but an emotional one as well. The Wright Museum is located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro. They

to the shortfall? The lamp was rubbed and the “Jeanie” in the bottle granted the dept $1.2 million to spend on pay increases or whatever the dept wants to do with the dough, this money is not “earmarked”. Hats off to the Senate finance, you fell under the spell of funding a department that you know little to nothing about. What was the promised price, 200,000 votes? What is your voter base? last year the Senate gave that dept $750.000 now the Senate wants to grant them their wish for more Pay and Bennie’s. Wake up, this will not be a one time deal, for you see, two years from now we will shell out another $1.2 million to keep up with the new pay scale, and the biannual after that, and after that, and after that, and.....

Strange how all of our state employees aren’t getting pay raises, just the chosen few. The next item on the agenda would have to be the $48 million that Maggie wanted to put into the drug and alcohol programs.The House Finance dropped the number down to $28 million, then came the Senate Finance who brought the number back up to $42 million. I do not remember asking any of the candidates who ran for office to throw this or any kind of monies into these programs that DO NOT WORK, never did and never will. This kind of bleeding heart spending of tax payer moneys has been going on, like, forever. Its a campaign bid for reelection to fight the war on stupid and I don’t care how much money you throw at it, you cant fix stupid. If you want to kill yourself with harmful drugs and drown yourself in the bottom of a bottle then knock yourself out. Why should the tax payer be held responsible for your stupidity? By the way, they hide information on harmful drugs and the everlasting effects of booze in books. Every one who thinks that throwing $42 million bucks into drug and alcohol programs will solve the problems, please raise your hands. How much will be enough, 50, 75, 100 million? I’m 57 years old and have been hearing from every politician that

ever came down the pike of how they were going to fight the war on drugs and all the billions, we in this country have spent, over all of those years and all that has come of it is more and more jobs for enforcement and administration but after all, that is where all the votes come from, isn’t it. Rest assured that two years from now when the next budget is formulated there will be millions upon millions more needed for these programs that don’t work. When I voted last year for the Red, Right, Republicans I was expecting less government and less spending. Increase in state employee pay increases the state retirement requirements that tax payers pick up the tab on. Increasing programs that don’t work result in more administrative requirements, in other words more state employees.What happened to the less government / less spending? I could have voted for the Blue Democrats, at least I know what to expect from them, the same results. In 2016 I think I’ll just skip the voting for state Reps and Senators. and just vote for the Presidential race, and I’ll play the “Trump” card, at least the “Donald” will not be manipulated by the main stream political team.

Buy Your Hike Safe Card Before Hitting The Trails

As summer vacation getaways draw visitors to hike, bike and paddle New Hampshire’s scenic countryside and waterways, the N.H. Fish and Game Department reminds outdoor enthusiasts to buy their voluntary Hike Safe Cards before heading out. The annual cards can be purchased online at http://m1e. net/c?54285558-ST/ZAEC1XMxW2%40316983573zYsaoBUSNZiDM Proceeds help support Fish and Game search and rescue efforts and exempt the holder from certain liability for repaying search and rescue costs, should a rescue be needed. Hike Safe Cards are $25 for an individual or $35 for

(877)-528-4104 a family (parents and minor children). They are good through the end of the calendar year. “Whether you’re walking, backpacking, climbing, biking, kayaking or enjoying other outdoor recreation in the Granite State, our Hike Safe Card is your back-up plan for the great outdoors,” said Fish and Game Director Glenn Normandeau. “Buying a card is an important way to help support Fish and Game’s search and rescue activities and ensure that personnel trained in wilderness rescue are there to coordinate search efforts if the unexpected happens and you are lost or hurt in the backcountry.” Under the law that established the new card, available for the first time in 2015, those who possess a valid New Hampshire hunting or fishing license, or a current registration for an off-highway recreational vehicle, snowmobile or boat, are already exempt from repaying rescue costs due to negligence. “Buying a fishing or hunting license gives you the same protection and a chance to enjoy that activity, as well,” said Normandeau. In recent years (2011-2013), Fish and Game has conducted an average of about 180 search and rescue missions each year. Under state law, the Fish and Game Department can pursue reimbursement for rescue costs if the person rescued is deemed to have acted negligently. In addition to Hike Safe Card sales, Fish and Game’s search and rescue activities are supported by a $1 fee collected for each boat, snowmobile and OHRV registered in New Hampshire. Over the last several years, annual search and rescue expenditures have exceeded revenues brought in through registrations, adding to the N.H. Fish and Game Department’s growing deficit.

James Montgomery Blues Band at Rochester Blues Festival Rochester Main Street volunteers will host their fourth annual Rochester Blues/BBQ Festival on Saturday, July 18 from 10 am until 4 pm in the North Main Street/Cocheco Riverwalk area in downtown Rochester. Underwritten by DF Richard Energy and a grant from the NH State Council On The Arts, this event promises toe-tapping sounds for all. Guests are asked to bring a lawn chair and enjoy some blues as James Montgomery is a national favorite. In addition there will be several other acts throughout the day, facepainting, arts, crafts, a hospitality garden sponsored by Smuttynose Brewing and a bounce house. The Rochester Arts & culture Commission will be hosting a Sidewalk Chalk Art on the Riverwalk, and people

can sign up for a square beginning at 8:30 am at the Arts & Culture Commission Booth. A BBQ Cookoff Contest sponsored by Leone, McDonnell, & Roberts, PA will feature local restaurants vying for plaques in the categories of ribs, chicken, pulled pork, brisket, and the people’s choice award with a $100 cash prize. The restaurants will be offering their BBQ specials for sale. Those attending may purchase a $8 badge that entitles a small portion sampling and entitling them to vote for the People’s Choice Award, with the proceeds benefitting downtown promotions. Vendors, crafts, food and games will line the upper end of North Main Street and there is still room to sign up. Vendor forms are available online at www.

Her high-school sweetheart made it out of Southie and is a doctor living

Written by South Boston native and Pulitzer Prize winner David LindsayAbaire, “Good People� was described as “One of the more subtly surprising treats of this theater season...and the most fully human residents of Broadway these days,� by The New York Times. “This is a smart, funny and suspenseful story about people who suc-

this beer right is a complex mission. To add to the mystery, there is a blend of American and New Zealand hops that make this recipe particularly interesting. NZ hops are uniquely flavorful and trending these days. The label advises us of 6.5% ABV. This beer was poured into a 22 oz glass to get the fullest enjoyment of both taste and smell at your first sip. At 38° F, the glass was half filled with an almost pure white head and required a moment or two to settle, leaving a bit of lacing around the glass. The bright amber color was inviting and well suited for warm weather enjoyment. This medium body brew has a lemon and citrus beginning, a spicy middle, and a slightly hoppy finish. Henniker always delivers freshness

in their creations and this beer is just one more example of their finely-tuned craft brewing experience. Being a seasonal, you will want to find this one quickly; they just don’t last. It is still available at Case-n-Keg in Meredith and Laconia. Many on BeerAdvocate.com have rated this beer 3.9+ out of 5... meaning this is beer worth investigating!

If the Mets can get big money for naming rights, then what could the Red Sox get for selling Fenway’s name? Would it be worth a half a billion to change it to Pizza Hut Park? Just changing the Pesky Pole to the Pepperoni Pole could be worth $10 million. That might buy a third baseman who could field AND hit! One of my classes is in Plymouth State University’s Hyde Hall, named for a long-time Plymouth State president.

Bill Simonton cord campus—as a history professor, a dean, a president, and later as Community College System commissioner. Bill also coached basketball and soccer, and remained a nationally-ranked tennis player after retiring. One might think that 40 years plus of service to a campus might rate special recognition, and it did. A lecture room was named after Simonton. Fine. But if a building could be named after Strout, then why not rename North Hall or South Hall in Simonton’s honor? MacRury, Little, Farnum and Sweeny Halls are named after special figures from NHTI’s past. But there are naming protocols now with a focus on SELLING naming rights for buildings. Hence, the Simonton Lecture Room. We can do better. See above. Sometimes the honorable way is not the lucrative way. Let’s name a building after Bill.

brick. But the rain that falls on the top of your wall in the late fall or during the winter can soak deep into the brick. When the water freezes, it expands and the brick is just not hard enough to prevent fracturing. You can minimize future damage, once you repair the damaged brick, by applying high-quality clear sealants, paying particular attention to the brick-mortar interface. Lots of the water is entering the brick through the mortar and where the mortar and brick touch one another. You may not see micro cracks here, but they exist. The sealants I prefer are breathable silane-siloxane water repellents. Let price be your guideline for the best ones. I’d also locate a specialty store in your area that sells masonry products to commercial contractors. These businesses tend to carry the absolute best masonry sealants specified by commercial and institutional architects. Avoid the temptation to purchase a sealant from a big box store

or home center. That’s the absolute last place I’d go to purchase a brick sealant. If you run into difficulty finding the exact brick to match what you have, you do have an option you may not have thought of. You can harvest enough bricks from a face of the garden wall that’s hidden -- or will be, by a dense evergreen shrub. The thought of doing this makes most shudder, and I agree that it introduces a permanent scar on your garden wall, but the bricks are there. Do this at some location in your garden wall where it faces a neighbor and the shrub that’s planted looks like it belongs. No one will be the wiser. Replace the brick you harvest with ones that are the same size and as close in color as you can find. There’s another trick you can employ that will help minimize future damage to the wall. I’d purchase some treated plywood that has the same chemicals in it that’s forced into dimensional deck lumber and posts. I’d allow this plywood to dry in a garage out of the sun. After sixty

days, I’d cut the plywood into pieces that are six inches wider than the garden wall. I’d then paint the plywood strips in a camouflage manner so they somewhat look like the mottled appearance of the top of the brick walls. I’d lay these panels over the top of the wall with 3 inches extending over each face of the wall in early November and weight them down so they don’t blow away. These pieces of wood will stop most of the rain from soaking into the brick even though you’ve sprayed them with the clear water repellent. They provide the same protection to the wall that your roof provides the brick on your home. The panels may not look the best over the winter, but you want the wall looking fantastic is the spring, summer and early fall when you can be outdoors to enjoy it. Need an answer?

of crisis. Thus Tunisia, and its economic lifeline tourist industry has been specifically targeted. In March many Europeans were murdered in an attack at the Bardo Museum in Tunis. In 2010, before the Arab Spring which actually began in Tunis, 1.4 million French visited Tunisia annually; last year the number was halved. Since the recent attacks in Sousse, tourist cancellations have soared. Hosni Djemmali, a Tunisian entrepreneur told the French daily Le Figaro that the attacks may have proved a “Fatal blow to Tunisian tourism.� Yet he warned that stability in the North African country was important to the West; a failed Tunisia at the gates of Europe, only 45 minutes (by air) from France would be a bigger disaster. Yet radicalization has moved quickly even in this once placid haven of North

Africa; over three thousand Tunisian jihadists have been attracted to fight in Iraq and Syria. Thus in the past few years such attacks have become more common precisely to destabilize a weak but moderate Arab country and push it into the abyss along with neighboring Libya. Second in Lyon; this attack was carried out near one of France’s largest and prosperous cities. Of course, there’s always the surrealistic side to the terror; the old adage it can’t happen here disappears in a wisp, as we hear of unimaginable horrors. The beheading story near Lyon had a yet more bizarre twist of both the medieval and the modern when the killer, Yassine Salhi a local with close ties to the Salafist sect, decided to be modern and take a selfie to post a picture of himself with the severed head of his boss. This case rises

to a level of pornographic evil. The Sunni fundamentalist Salafists are surprisingly active in many mosques throughout France, according to the security services. Some of these clandestine networks go back 25 years. Commenting on the issue, Frederic Lefebvre, a parliamentary deputy for the Republicans, representing French in North America stated, “We must protect young Muslims from radical Islam. I would close the 25 prayer rooms which have been identified by the intelligence services in Ile de France, the 22 in Lyon region, and the 13 in Marseille which have fallen into the hands of extremists. The Tunisian government courageously closed 80 Salafist mosques recently.� Violence prone Salafists were apparently celebrating the first anniversary of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

tively recruit in the French prison system where many jihadis are formed. Third, Kuwait. The attack on the Shiite mosque is aimed to ignite a intraIslamic war as is going on in Iraq and Syria and to use sectarian fissures to destroy Islam. Here too the Muslim countries must be vigilant to the enduring threat from within. Bloody Friday reminds Europe and the Arabs that the threat of jihadi terrorism is on their doorstep or inside their country. For the U.S. the threat is no less severe. We can’t wish it away. John J.

duce the hours “imposed” on formerly-salaried employees, and won’t hurt employment. Yet according to the Labor Department, about 5 million Americans will be shifted to hourly, overtime-eligible employees, at a cost to employers of $1.2 billion annually. As Forbes writer Warren Meyer points out, that comes to $261 per worker. The Department expects the base wage rate for regular work hours to fall from $18.38 to $18.21 after this rule (yes, fall), and the average work week to drop one tenth of an hour (yes, just 6 minutes), to 41.5 hours. Small beer compared to what the government is taking from the market. The delusion goes deeper.

more workers will have jobs, and full-time jobs, and they will have more money to spend in their communities on food, gas, clothing and other consumer goods.” She must believe in magic money and that businesses won’t react to increases in labor costs and decreases in labor flexibility. Even if there were more money to go around, higher labor costs would translate into higher product costs, so buying power might actually be reduced. Businesses have many ways to improve productivity and reduce overhead, as anyone who has used an ATM, airline ticket kiosk, or the new fastfood ordering kiosks can attest. Entry-level workers are especially vulnerable to losing out to technology in the labor market. As well, work can be shifted to salaried workers above the government’s arbitrary

cut-off line, so that hourly workers won’t be allowed overtime and mid-level managers will pick up the slack. People like Judy Conti either lack imagination or prefer dogma to data. Big box stores may be able to accommodate increased labor and regulatory compliance costs, but the small and mediumsized companies on Main Street will have a harder time. The movement to impose higher minimum wages has already closed some doors, and this proposed overtime regulation may shutter more business. The drive to increase overtime may result in “no time,” raising the first rung of the labor ladder beyond the reach of many entry-level workers. Ken Gorrell can be reached at kengorrell@ gmail.com.

GEMMA

Gemma is a gorgeous girl who epitomizes the title her breed formerly were given “the Nanny Dog”. American Staffordshire Terriers have proven to be loyal, strong, dedicated and very cuddly. Sadly some of the worst humans have owned them and through mismanagement have tried to ruin this regal canine. Not so our Gemma. She is a gregarious, outgoing girl. Friendly with other shelter dogs, she relished the company of our staff and volunteers, but really would like a home of her own. Shelter life can be stressful for dogs who have a deep capacity to bond. She loves water, loves to play. Gemma has spent time with our trainers learning how to be a canine good citizen, she’s doing rather well. So, if you can prove positive leadership, kindness and consistency and lots of interactive play and exercise, Gemma is your girl!

cidental” and had “no element of criminal intent.” Another “was likely touched off by an electrical short” after a tree limb fell on the property, yanking the electrical service line with it. And yet another alleged “black church arson” actually involved a white church “struck by lightning.” No matter. NBC News trumpeted: “Spate of Fires at Black Churches Raise Concerns of Rise in Hate Crimes.” The Washington Post ominously tallied “five predominantly black Southern churches burn within a week; arson suspected in at least three.” The New York Daily News blared: “String of apparent arson fires plague black churches in Carolinas, Georgia and Tennessee.” Mic.com quoted a hate crimes “expert” blaming -- you guessed it -- “the growth of violent right-wing extremist ideology in the U.S.” for the nonexistent black church arson epidemic. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. In this case, it’s coming from the fivealarm self-immolation of agenda-driven journalism’s credibility.

dismantling of the Constitution -- and usually for the kinds of social policies preferred by Democrats. Chief Justices appointed by Republican presidents have made landmark decisions for which there was neither Constitutional authority nor either evidence or logic. The first was Earl Warren. When Chief Justice Warren said that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal,” he was within walking distance of an all-black public high school that sent a higher percentage of its graduates on to college than any white public high school in Washington. As far back as 1899, that school’s students scored higher on tests than two of the city’s three white academic public high schools. Nevertheless, Chief Justice Warren’s unsubstantiated assumption led to years of school busing across the country that was as racially divisive as it was educationally futile. Chief Justice Warren Burger, also appointed by a Republican president, gave us the “disparate impact” notion that statistical disparities imply discrimination. That notion has created a whole statistical shakedown racket, practiced by government itself and by private race hustlers alike. And now Chief Justice John Roberts, appointed by George W. Bush, gives the federal government the power to order us to buy whatever insurance they want us to buy. With that entering wedge, is there anything they cannot force us to do, regardless of the Constitution? Can the Republicans -- or the country -- afford to put another mushy moderate in the White House, who can appoint more mushy moderates to the Supreme Court?

flowing through NH (remember now, federal funds are NOT free money. AND, federal dollars frequently have many “strings” attached which are not necessarily beneficial to our states’ sovereignty.), it is easy to see the importance of paying attention to the EC voting records. In examining the current political breakdown of the Executive Council, there are three members with “conservative” stances. And, these “conservatives” hold the majority in the Executive Council. Looking at the approved requests at the June 24 meeting, one could easily wonder if these “conservative” Councilors are providing due diligence? And, isn’t it the function of the EC to guard the people’s checkbook with regard to spending in the Governor’s office regardless of political party? Is it really supposed to be just spend, spend, spend? Frankly, I am rather disappointed. These Republican public servants all campaigned as “conservative” candidates, so why are they not stepping up to meet their own campaign rhetoric? In viewing EC meeting minutes, it is clear only Councilor Dave Wheeler has consistently defended and voted in support of conservative stances. And, we thank him for doing so. But, make no mistake, folks. Every time a public official campaigns one way then votes another, we should be outraged. And every time we are silent in this, we are complicit in the shell game. You may be busy. You may be stressed. You may be tired. Anyone paying attention to the state of affairs in our state and country certainly has a reason to be depressed. But, it is time to shake it off and get into the game. We need to educate ourselves as to our elected official’s voting records. And we need to speak when their votes go awry. 2016 is fast approaching. It will soon be time to stand up and be heard at the ballot box. It is well past time to be active. No excuses – just results. Game on.
