A Meeting With Dr. Ben Carson

In this new Antique and Classic Boat Show poster by artist Peter Ferber, the scene depicts Chris-Crafts in Wolfeboro’s Back Bay with the train station in the background in the 1930’s. The boat in the foreground predates “Chris-Craft”–when it was know as the Chris Smith & Sons Boat Company. This is the first standardized production model they offered, a 26’ runabout, debuting in 1922. Also shown is a 1930 26’ triple cockpit upswept runabout with Dietrich top, and a 1939 16’ red, white and blue Racing Runabout.

The 42nd Annual Antique And Classic Boat Show In Meredith The 42nd Annual Lake Winnipesaukee Antique and Classic Boat Show will take place at the Meredith Docks on Saturday, July 25th from 9am to 2pm. It is sponsored by the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. This year’s Marque Class boat will be the Chris-Craft and all those who own Chris Craft boats are invited to attend as well as all other makes of wonderful antique and classic craft.

boats of all makes and models as they begin to arrive at the Meredith Docks, it is certainly one of the more spectacular sights of summer in the Lakes Region. Due to a few glitches with parking and launching last year there will not be an antique car show this year. There will be a Field of Dreams area where boats on trailers can be displayed for sale. Boats to be judged will have results announced at the dinner BBQ Saturday evening. Visitors will be able to vote for See boat show on 32

It was a great pleasure for our editorial board to meet with Dr. Ben Carson who is vying for the Republican nomination for President in 2016. Carson is a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon who grew up under poor socioeconomic conditions in Detroit and later became the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins who were joined at the head. He also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008 and was the subject of the 2009 movie “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.” The candidate, the author of six bestselling books, was not only as articulate as you might expect, but provided concrete solutions to many of the issues facing our nation today, while keeping his distance from the usual spin that reinforced his claim that he’s “not a politician and never wants to be.” Drawn even more into the national spotlight after his now famous speech at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, a ground swell of support formed urging him to enter the race for President, not something he had even considered two years ago. Today, according to the polls, he is in the top tier of a crowded republican field. In sitting down with Dr. Carson and his wife of forty years, Candy, it was easy to see how he has developed a strong following. His easy going personSee carson on 39

To The Editor: The birthplace of democracy is once again setting a courageous example of democracy for the rest of the world. Instead of continuing to be bullied by the extremely powerful big money interests of the IMF and the European Central Bank, despite serious hardships, the people of Greece voted overwhelmingly to restore democracy and take their own future into their capable and determined hands. I am reminded of our own Spirit of 1776, when despite our own tremendous hardships, the people of the then-colonies bravely stood up to the harsh bullying aristocratic rule which was imposed on them by a much more powerful nation and wealthy class. Instead of caving in to the rule of government from above, they demanded self-government. And it turned out pretty well. As our founders were in 1776, once again today we should all be inspired by the brave strength of the Greek people and their fervent dedication to democracy. Burt Cohen New Castle NH

Immigration Policies To the Editor: It is said that people get the government that they deserve. This means not only how government deals directly with people

Our Story

(e.g., fairly, dictatorially, openly, legally) but it also means the consequences of the policies that our elected politicians implement. San Francisco citizens have repeatedly elected politicians who made San Francisco a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanctuary cityâ&#x20AC;?, a city that refuses to enforce our immigration laws. Sanctuary cities are magnets for illegal aliens, especially criminal illegal aliens who commit fully anticipatable and avoidable crimes. Now the family and friends of Kathryn Steinle mourn her murder by an illegal alien who San Francisco helped hide from Federal authorities. Kathrynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder was the direct consequence of San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being a sanctuary city. Her blood is obviously on the hands of her murderer, but that blood is spread over the hands of the politicians who made San Francisco a sanctuary city and the people who repeatedly elected those politicians. Across our country illegal aliens murder, kill, maim, rape, terrorize, steal from and otherwise victimize millions of American citizens. The harm from these crimes is in addition to the harm to most American citizens, especially poor citizens, from lost jobs, lowered wages, higher taxes, and lower quality educations for American children. But, illegal aliens are tolerated and even encouraged by politicians to gain support from special

Calvert as Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weirs Times and Touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

interests (e.g., immigration groups, unions, businesses, and government employees) and who put their personal interests above the good of the vast majority of Americans. Immigration should benefit the nation and the vast majority of its citizens. Unfortunately both Democrat and Republican politicians have betrayed our county and the American people for their own personal benefit. Our immigration laws are not broken, they are just not enforced. Politicians who claim our immigration problem is the result of not passing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Immigration Reformâ&#x20AC;? are lying. Simply passing a law (crafted by special interest groups) that legalize the people who overstayed their visas or who crossed our borders illegally doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make them the kind of immigrants that benefit our country. As we consider who to elect to office next year, we must consider who will ensure that our immigration policies benefit our country, our national character, and the vast majority of the American people. If we elect people who continue the current immigration policies, then the blood of Kathryn Steinle and millions of other American victims will also be on our hands. Don Ewing Meredith, NH.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Bringing Us Together

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

As the self-proclaimed leading expert on Flatlander/Native relations in New Hampshire, it always gives me great pleasure to see the progress that has been made in this area over the years. I feel I have a lot to do with that and I would give myself a well deserved pat on the back if I could only reach that far. (Of course, as I approach sixty, even attempting it can be a morning’s work.) Back in 1995, I wrote my first column on the subject. I used the term “Flatlander” for one of the first times as the subject of an article. This was a social slur that had, for generations, always existed but rarely uttered in public. It drew a lot of heat. I was condemned by some Flatlanders and threatened with physical harm by others. They felt that by me writing it I was giving it an unwelcome validation. Many natives weren’t happy either. Here I was, a Flatlander who had only lived here for a few years and I was using the word to stir up trouble in their peaceful oasis. Still, I stuck to my guns and my principles and kept writing about the subject with no regard for my own safety. I came to recognize this as my calling and I never backed down. Someone had to keep the uncomfortable conversation going. It wasn’t an easy struggle, but I persevered. Today, twenty years later, Flatlander/Native rela-

tions have improved tremendously and the term “Flatlander”, though still used with great contempt by some old-time natives in the privacy of their own homes has, for the most part, lost its negative connotations. My work has made it easier for more and more Flatlanders to move to Central New Hampshire and assimilate more easily. In fact, the ratio of Flatlander to Native has increased dramatically with all living together in peace for the most part. Yet, as is the way of human nature, things can never be that easy. As the permanent Flatlander population has increased, a new dynamic has taken it root. It is called the Native Flatlander/Visiting Flatlander problem and people are turning to me for the solution. This is never more apparent than this summer season. For years here in Central New Hampshire, the short nine hot weeks in July and August have always been when any significant Native Flatlander/Visiting Flatlander confrontations occur. In the summer it is the rush of the Visiting Flatlander to “hurry up and relax” that causes them to irritate the Native Flatlanders and real natives alike. Though they are merely acting as they do the rest of the year, actions that are prompted by the simple instinct of human survival that have become ingrained by their city and suburban lives, in their minds they are doing nothing wrong. Taking up two spots with their cars in the supermarket and restaurant parking lots, elbowing through the crowd with nary an “excuse me” to get that last few ears of corn, their guilt-free look when tak-

ing thirty items to the less crowded fourteen items or less checkout and, of course, the leaving of the empty shopping cart at the spot it was emptied. There are way too many scenarios and space prohibits me from listing them all here, but I’m sure you get the picture. The new problem lies not so much with the Visiting Flatlanders but with the Native Flatlanders, of which I am one. We were them once and we forget. As we have graciously (and gratefully) assimilated we have forgotten our own roots and how we at one time acted the same. Time and watching some natives helped us overcome our angst. So, as the voice of “all” Flatlanders, I don’t think we Native Flatlanders should get angry at the Visiting Flatlander’s actions, but to use them as reminders to ourselves. So, the next time you are tempted to try and squeeze your car into that tiny spot next to the two-space parked car making sure they don’t have enough room to open their door, take a breath. If you get the urge throw a body block into the oncoming figure, dressed all in pink, who is trying to beat you to the corn section or if you want to loudly count the dozens of items in the basket in front of you at the fourteen items or less checkout, take a step back and count to ten in your head instead. Remember, that was us not so long ago. We had to learn and we should be gracious enough to allow for their assimilation as well. As Native Flatlanders, we have to try and respect those who we were once like. Even that loudmouth jerk yesterday who left his shopping cart right in the middle of the parking lot. I hope this helps.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, July 16, 2015

Of Donuts, Divas and Celebrity Tantrum-itis There’s a regular feature in grocery gossip magazines titled “Stars: They’re just like us!” Supposedly “candid” photos show actors by Michelle Malkin and starlets Syndicated Columnist taking out the trash, dropping off their kids at school and walking their dogs to emphasize their Everyday Peoplehood. But we all know it’s another manufactured Tinseltown myth. Routine outbreaks of celebrity tantrum-itis remind us that the denizens of the entertainment world are a spoiled bratty species unto themselves. Take pop diva Ariana Grande. This week, the wide-eyed tartlet got caught profanely bashing our country, mocking cashiers and spreading her precious spit on donuts for sale at a Lake Elsinore, Calif., shop. Surveillance video exposed Miss Thang’s contempt for the working class, contempt for private property and contempt for public health. Her fake apology displayed childish disregard for her fan base’s comprehension skills. “I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I’ve always made it clear that I love my country,” she wheedled -- after griping in plain English: “I hate Americans. I hate America!” In response to critics who pointed out that her donut vandalism violated her grandiose proclamations of “eating a full plant-based, whole food diet that can expand your life length and make you an all-around happier person,” she blamed her obnoxious behavior on being “upset” by Americans who overeat.

The 22-year-old singer argued that she wasn’t being a hypocrite. She was actually protesting “childhood obesity,” you see, by opening up her big, fat lip-glossed mouth and stuffing it with fried confections. The notoriously demanding prima donna, who has a history of red carpet hissy fits and meet-andgreet meltdowns, hilariously tried to turn her pastry petulance into a public service announcement. “We need to demand more from our food industry,” she preached. “However I should have known better in how I expressed myself; and with my new responsibility to others as a public figure I will strive to be better.” It’s “do as I say, not as I do” dressed up in a concern troll costume. You will not be surprised to learn that her manager is one Scooter Braun, the same impresario responsible for launching jackanape Justin Bieber, the former pop star who spends more time spitting, stripping and pissing in public than he does singing and dancing anymore. Bieber doesn’t need Braun. He needs Nanny 911. But I don’t mean to single out these post-millennial Bratz dolls. Fame corrupts at all ages, shapes and sizes. Just this past month: Sixty-one-year-old Phil Rudd, drummer for AC/DC, who went on a death threat-spewing tirade against his employees after his solo album failed, was sentenced to house detention. Tennis star Nick Kyrgios became unhinged at Wimbledon, smashing his racket, bullying a ball girl and taunting fans in the stands. Punk socialite and hotel heir Conrad Hilton received a wristslapping probation sentence after abusing flight attendants and passengers on an international flight from London to Los Angeles.

The Need For Grace And Beauty

As many of you know, these past four years have found me focused on politics and the messaging of Life. After awakening to what by Jane Cormier was happenHooksett, NH. ing around my community and country, I felt (and still feel) a need to become active within the swirling political debate. I would never have believed this could happen as my life since age five had been about music and performing on stage. I discovered the love of opera at the age of twenty one while attending college. Before being transfixed by the operatic medium, I was a musical theatre ingénue. My goal was to perform on Broadway and live the American Dream. But, as so many of us have discovered, Life sometimes delivers quite a different journey! When I discovered the world See malkin on 42 of opera, I was coming very late

to the game (rather like my experience in the political realm). I needed to work diligently to make up the deficit. So, with my one track mind focused on the task, I worked very hard to learn the craft of singing from the very best in the opera world. I studied in NYC with teachers at the Metropolitan Opera and basked in the light of this magnificent and historic art form. To this day, I consider myself so very blessed. Having sung throughout Europe and America, I was able to live my dream. When my husband and I met at Des Moines Metro Opera some twenty four years ago, we decided to move to New Hampshire and begin our life together in the Granite State. And, we brought our love of opera right along with us. Having taken a hiatus from our operatic world for these past four years, Carlos and I decided to jump back into the saddle as Directors of Piccola Opera. We were in for a See cormier on 8

PRC Premier Visits France; It’s all Business - China’s Premier Li Keqiang descended upon Paris for a shopping spree; signing contracts and making deals by John J. Metzler which will enSyndicated Columnist ergize the still anemic French economy. The French put on the Ritz as even Francois Hollande’s Socialist government can do so well; the impressive ceremony at the Elysee Presidential Palace and the glittering Parisian protocol. But the business bottom line was clearly the key element stressed during the three-day visit where Beijing’s Premier signed $20 billion in contracts and investments with France. “Airbus Strengthens its Stake in China,” touted the headline in the business paper Les Echos. The Chinese put in orders for 75 Airbus A330 airliners valued at $18 billion. In a meeting between PRC Premier Li and French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, the Chinese side agreed to a host of aviation deals. Already the European consortium-built Airbus has over 1,150 of its aircraft flying with Chinese carriers. Later when the Chinese delegation visited the Airbus assembly site in southern France at Toulouse, an agreement was made to further expand the current Tianjin Airbus assembly factory in Mainland China. The new A 330 Completion and Delivery Center PARIS

is slated for Tianjin which is near the current assembly line for the smaller A 320 aircraft. Airbus projects that the Chinese market is ripe for its aircraft and projects sales at over 5,000 planes between 2014-2033. Though Airbus is enchanted with Chinese market possibilities, the question of industrial espionage at the Tianjin mega facilities as well as the very real possibility that Chinese-produced Airbus jets will eventually replace workers at the firm’s European facilities in France and Germany remains a nervous concern. A series of Franco/Chinese agreements were reached between the countries on Climate policy, the internationalization of the Chinese Yuan currency, and for civilian nuclear power. A letter of intent between the French firm Areva, EDF, and China General Nuclear was aimed at “establishing a long term partnership in the field of medium and high power reactors.” Currently China’s two Taishan reactors near Hong Kong are based on the French Areva’s design and are currently being constructed in China. The $10 billion contract saw construction start on the first Taishan 1 reactor in 2009 which is expected to start up next year. The Taishan 2 facility is expected to come online in 2017. France has long been an exponent of nuclear power for electricity production and remains one of the world’s most nuclear powered countries. China on the other hand has long been dependent on

highly polluting fossil fuels and is trying to make a transition to alternative power sources for its massive electricity demand. Another agreement was signed whereby France and China would work together on infrastructure

and energy projects in Africa. Such a plan would allow for China to find overseas markets in Africa while at the same time going through France as a respected go between on much of the continent.

A Legacy of Cliches Discussions of racial problems almost invariably bring out the cliche of “a legacy of slavery.” But anyone who is being serious, as distinguished by Thomas Sowell from being poSyndicated Columnist litical, would surely want to know if whatever he is talking about -- whether fatherless children, crime or whatever -- is in fact a legacy of slavery or of some of the many other things that have been done in the century and a half since slavery ended. Another cliche that has come into vogue is that slavery is “America’s original sin.” The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said that a good catch phrase could stop thinking for fifty years. Catch phrases about slavery have stopped people from thinking, even longer than that. Today the moral horror of slavery is so widely condemned that it is hard to realize that there were thousands of years when slavery was practiced around the world by people of virtually every race. Even the leading moral and religious thinkers in different societies accepted slavery as just a fact of life. No one wanted to be a slave. But their rejection of slavery as a fate for themselves in no way meant that they were unwilling to enslave others. It was just not an issue -- until the 18th century, and then it became an issue only in Western civilization. Neither Africans, Asians, Polynesians nor the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere saw anything wrong with slavery, even after small segments of British and American societies began to condemn slavery as morally

wrong in the 18th century. What was special about America was not that it had slavery, which existed all over the world, but that Americans were among the very few peoples who began to question the morality of holding human beings in bondage. That was not yet a majority view among Americans in the 18th century, but it was not even a serious minority view in non-Western societies at that time. Then how did slavery end? We know how it ended in the United States -- at a cost of one life lost in the Civil War for every six slaves freed. But that is not how it ended elsewhere. What happened in the rest of the world was that all of Western civilization eventually turned against slavery in the 19th century. This meant the end of slavery in European empires around the world, usually over the bitter opposition of non-Western peoples. But the West happened to be militarily dominant at the time. Turning back to the “legacy of slavery” as an explanation of social problems in black American communities today, anyone who was serious about the truth -- as distinguished from talking points -- would want to check out the facts. Were children raised with only one parent as common at any time during the first 100 years after slavery as in the first 30 years after the great expansion of the welfare state in the 1960s? As of 1960, 22 percent of black children were raised with only one parent, usually the mother. Thirty years later, two-thirds of black children were being raised without a father present. What about ghetto riots, crimes in general and murder in particular? What about low levels of labor force participation and high levels See Sowell on 42

rude awakening. The opera world had indeed changed. Many opera companies, both small and large, had closed their doors. Opera is now at risk of turning into a niche art form. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention, the world of opera could just disappear. And, that would truly be a great loss. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know

about you, but I think we need all the grace and beauty we can get these days. Opera is the culmination of beautiful music, both vocal and orchestral, a fine arts component, and an acting and dance thread which binds it all together. The world has enjoyed opera since the late 1600â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It would be a shame to see opera disappear from our cultural landscape. Unfortunately, that is what will happen if we do not try to initiate an â&#x20AC;&#x153;operatic renaissanceâ&#x20AC;?. Piccola Operaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to educate, enlighten, and entertain audiences with regard to the operatic art form. We are currently preparing a fully staged production of Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magic Fluteâ&#x20AC;?, July 24 & 25 at the Concord City Auditorium. This production will offer winners of last

fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opera competition, a place to perform and build their performance skills. It is a bonus that these singers can come and enjoy our beautiful state while growing their operatic resumes. We invite you to join us for a night at the opera and help support this beautiful and historic art form right here in New Hampshire. Anything that can shine brightly is a welcome respite these days. Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Magic Fluteâ&#x20AC;? is a musical diamond, just full of grace and beauty. For more information, you can visit www.piccolaopera.net.

Lakes (Or Ponds?!) Are For Deep Thought

by Andrea LaMoreaux NH Lakes Assoc.

If you’re a kid, there’s almost no better way to spend the summer than with your cousins at grandma and poppa’s cottage on the lake. Our now six yearold daughter has spent a good part of each summer since she was a baby at Seneca Lake in New York with my husband’s extended family and with my family on Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire. As a limnologist—a scientist who studies lakes—of course, I am thrilled that Iris has had so much opportunity to spend time at the lake. For our family, the lake is not only a place to go have fun, it’s a place to unwind, relax, and sometimes get into deep conversation. A few summers ago while we were all at the lake, I was tickled to overhear the following exchange between Iris and her cousin, Cameron, who were both just about four years old at the time—it went something like this… “Cameron, do you think Grandma and Poppa’s lake is really a lake or is it just a pond?” Iris inquired. “Well, it’s pretty big,” began Cameron. “Actually, I think Seneca Lake is huge. It’s close to ginormous…” “So, it must be a lake,” interrupted Iris. “Yes. Definitely. Seneca Lake is a lake. It’s not a wimpy little pond,” Cameron confirmed. “Ok. So, what about the

Sand Pond in Marlow, NH. pond by Uncle Stephen’s house?” Iris questioned, “It’s really a pond, right?” “Yes, Uncle Stephen’s pond is a pond,” Cameron confidently confirmed, “It’s too tiny to be a lake, but it was pretty cool.” “Cool, like neat,” Iris added, “the water was pretty warm.” “So, how big does it have to be to be a lake and not a pond?” Cameron wondered aloud. “I dunno. Let’s ask my mom,” suggested Iris, “She’s a lake scientist.” “What is the difference between a lake and a pond?” One of the most common questions I get as a limnologist is, “What is the difference between a lake and a pond?” If you are like most folks (including Iris and Cameron!), you probably think that lakes are bigger and deeper than ponds— this isn’t always the case. In New Hampshire, there are many examples of a waterbody being called a

‘pond’ when it is larger and deeper than another waterbody called a ‘lake.’ For example, Sand Pond in Marlow, at 64 acres in surface area and 71 feet at its deepest, is larger and deeper than Kolelemook Lake in Springfield which is 40 acres in surface area and 22 feet deep. “How did the lake/pond get its name?” In New Hampshire, the naming of a waterbody as a ‘lake’ or a ‘pond’ is arbitrary—most were named by the early settlers who lived nearby. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services reports that many lakes and ponds have had official name changes over the years. Most name changes have involved changing from a ‘pond’ to a ‘lake’ in an attempt to make the waterbody sound more attractive to home buyers and visitors. Examples of See lakes on 18

The cardinal is relatively new to this area of New England. Prior to the popularity of backyard bird feeding, the northern most boundary of this brilliant red bird was the Connecticut and Rhode Island regions. As more homeowners enjoyed this hobby of feeding wild birds in the last two decades, attracting the cardinal has almost become an obsession. The chase was on. Just how do you keep this majestic bird in your area year round? Attracting cardinals to your backyard is not a difficult task if you have the right habitat to start with. Unfortunately, most backyards have eliminated the environment necessary for maintaining nesting cardinals. Cardinals are basically ground birds. They enjoy the comfort and safety that natural cover provides. Brambles, briar patches, and thickets are standard cardinal territory. You may witness cardinals singing from the tallest branches of trees, but for nesting purposes, this species prefers the lower levels of your area. Many people choose not to have these natural plantings in their backyard and may have a difficult, if not impossible, task of attracting northern cardinals. Nesting birds are feeding birds. The cardinal is very aggressive in defending its territory from other birds. They are extremely loyal as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few species of wild birds

It is not uncommon to witness large flocks of cardinals during the winter months as they forage for food. Large, airy bushes, like the rhododendrons, serve well as cardinal habitat. You can create your own cardinal friendly environment using a simple brush pile. Choose a suitable area at the edge of your property and commence the process of gathering large tree branches that have fallen to the ground in neighboring woods. Place these loose branches on top of one another until you have a rudimentary brush pile approximately 6 feet wide at the bottom and 4-5 feet tall. Do not compress this new site and leave plenty of airy, open areas for the cardinals to fly into. Viola, instant cardinal habitat! Cardinals prefer bird feeders that imitate their natural feeding area, the ground. These birds are not clingers, like chickadees or finches. Perches are very difficult for large birds to use for feeding purposes. Traditional style tube feeders are not cardinal friendly. Con-

sider adding a tray on the bottom so that cardinals will feel comfortable during feeding. Properly designed hoppers can be the most optimized solution to attract feeding cardinals to your yard. Open tray feeders are another solution. Sunflower and safflower seeds are the two favorite ingredients in the eastern region of the United States for attracting northern cardinals. Of course, water is also a key element to serve in order to maintain your population of cardinal families. Enjoy your birds!! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Husband, Wifeâ&#x20AC;?- Will the Extortion Continue? In 1975, my first year of being a House member, I was taken aback when one of the bills sponby Niel Young sored was Advocates Columnist against Parental Notification of a minor girl to have an abortion. To think lawmakers were willing to take parental rights away from THE PARENTS! A colleague suggested not too worry, this legislature will never pass that legislation. What a difference 40 years makes in the political arena, and in life. RASMUSSEN Friday, 7/10/2015: Following the murder of a young woman in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant from Mexico, voters want to get tough on so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanctuary citiesâ&#x20AC;? that refuse to enforce immigration laws. Sixty-two percent (62%) of Likely U.S. Voters think the U.S. Justice Department should take legal action against cities that provide sanctuary for illegal immigrants. *************** It is a sad state of affairs when republicans cannot find enough energy to drive a truck through the opening when Democrats provide the issue. Is it because the GOP wants to be loved and will leave their principles at the door. Where has Barackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buddy John Boehner been lately? *************** Of course Democrats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lie. Remember which political party supported Black Americans in the 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;z and 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s? It was the GOP. Remember Democrat Gov. John Lynch who said he would sign

the law allowing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Civil Unionsâ&#x20AC;?, but never Gay Marriage! The next year he was for gay marriage. With a few excerpts Lee Duigon, NewsWithViews. com, takes on one of the most important issues; the indoctrination centers a.k.a the taxpayers government schools Lee Duigon: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really serious about killing the culture, you have to kill the family. We have a lot of people in our country who really are serious about killing our culture, and they have been working very hard to kill the family. To this end they created the welfare programs of the 1960s, which have destroyed the black family in the cities. Two out of three African-American children are raised in fatherless homes, because their mothers are rewarded for having out-of-wedlock children. At the same time, thanks to Planned Parenthood, about half the black babies conceived in our great cities are aborted. Planned Parenthood has snuffed out more black peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives than the KKK ever dreamed was possible. Our rulers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to get whites into the urban ghetto, so they come after white families with a weapon even more powerful than welfare: public education. One of the objects of public education, as stated by its founders and developers since the early 19th centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and quoted in abundance by R. J. Rushdoony in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Messianic Character of American Educationâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is to undermine the family and eventually to phase it out of existence, leaving the rearing of the young to the tender mercies of â&#x20AC;&#x153;scientific experts.â&#x20AC;? Public educators have never

dropped the ball on this. *************** Those who fly the Confederate Flag are doing it for the same reason we have symbols and signs that inform the public that we have â&#x20AC;&#x153;States Rightsâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;. That is why many folks are fighting for their right to use the First Amendment! There are enough Americans who want to be loved and politically correct because of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendsâ&#x20AC;?. Pay attention to what this Obama is doing to you and our country. Keep an eye on the First Amendment for the disappearance of what that Amendment means. The attack on our freedoms is well under way. And as Michael Savage said last week; there is NO Opposition Party formerly known as the republicans. Savage is available every weekday at 3-6, 1350 AM and streamed live at wezs.com â&#x20AC;&#x201C; same place for me! *************** http://patriotupdate. com : The country has descended into farce. Now that compulsory gay marriage is the law of the land thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, liberals are reaching out from that decision to see where else they can force the gay lobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda on the country. Next up is a war against the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;husbandâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wifeâ&#x20AC;? because they are somehow â&#x20AC;&#x153;anti-gay.â&#x20AC;? California Lois Capps is now leading the charge to try to get the two words expunged from federal law. Good Lord, what else do Hussein Obama and the gay movement want?

lakes from 11

name changes from a pond to lake include: ‘Mud Pond’ to ‘Mirror Lake’ in Canaan; ‘Mosquito Pond’ to ‘Crystal Lake’ in Manchester; and ‘Dishwater Pond’ to ‘Mirror Lake’ in Tuftonboro. Is there a legal difference? In New Hampshire, for

legal purposes, there is no difference between a ‘lake’ and a ‘pond.’ However, to make matters more confusing, if a lake or pond in New Hampshire is 10 acres or greater in surface area, then it is considered a ‘Great Pond’—a waterbody that is regulated by the state and subject to state water quality laws.

Is there a scientific difference? Yes, from a limnologist’s point of view, there is a difference between a ‘lake’ and a ‘pond.’ But, to add to the confusion, the distinction between a “lake” and a “pond” is not always the same for every limnologist. Some limnologists say

that a waterbody which has rooted plants growing throughout should be classified as a ‘pond’ since it is shallow enough for sunlight to reach the bottom in all areas. These same scientists would say that a ‘lake’ is a waterbody that only has rooted plants growing around its edges, since it is too deep for sunlight to shine on the entire bottom. However, I have found that these definitions do not always hold true—I have visited ‘ponds’ that are 10 to 15 feet deep with brown, murky water where it is too dark for rooted plants to grow on the bottom and I have visited deeper ‘lakes’ with crystal clear water where rooted plants grow

throughout. Other limnologists define the difference using temperature. During the summer, if a waterbody is deep enough to stratify into three distinct temperature layers, with one warm layer on top, one cold layer at the bottom and a layer of rapidly changing temperature in between (called a ‘thermocoline’), then it is a ‘lake,’ while a waterbody with one or two weakly defined temperature layers is a ‘pond.’ New Hampshire is home to approximately 1,000 lakes and ponds. This summer, take time to have fun with family and friends and relax and unwind at your favorite lake or pond!

was much like cake icing. Skilled master craftsmen would trowel this on over the rougher brown or base coat. As the crystals grew, the troweling action would transform this white-coat plaster into a hard surface as smooth as glass. Your wall fell apart be-

cause of the adhesive chain. When you have certain things glued to one another in layers, the weakest bond is what falls apart when you subject the layers to tension or pulling. In your case, the top or final coat of plaster came off where it contacted the

rougher base coat. But on other places of the wall I can see where the bond was weakest within the base coat of plaster. You can repair this horrible mess if you possess some decent hand-eye coordination. The first step is to remove all the loose material by chipping and

scrapping it away. You can buy base coat plaster called Structolite that can be used to fill in the deep areas where the original base coat is missing. You trowel on this new sandy plaster and rub it with a coarse rubber or sponge float. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly easy to apply and finish this Structolite. Start with a small amount and play with it. Only mix up enough that you can use in 15 minutes and might cover just a couple of square feet. Get the hang of working with it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d not recommend you try to use traditional lime putty and plaster as that requires some training. You can buy dry setting joint compound thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the baby brother of real plaster. This gypsum product has a small amount of real plaster in it and when you mix it with water it starts the same chemical reaction. As the joint compound gets hard, you can smooth it with a trowel and wet sponge. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d install the walnut paneling. Based on your photo the room seems small and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a great amount of natural light. The walnut paneling will make

the room feel even smaller than it is. Realize youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to strip all the baseboard from the room before you do the paneling. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have to do that with all the window trim and any door trim. What do you intend to do with the painted window? It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match the walnut paneling. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have to install a custom extension jamb at all windows and doors as the paneling will extend beyond the face of the existing plaster. This is not as easy as it seems and requires some good carpentry skills. If it were me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d futz around repairing the damaged plaster and paint the room a nice bright color. You can also wallpaper the room if your plaster repair is a little bumpy. Select the right wallpaper and the bumps will be mostly hidden by the wall covering. Need an answer?

When we reached the intersection of Rattle River the enthusiasm to make it home in time for supper was greater than hiking almost three more miles round trip to visit Shelburne Moriah Mountain. Plus continuing on the Kenduskeag Trail didn’t look pleasant here, as far as you could see it was a big black mud pit. I have been to Shelburne Moriah twice before but never on this trail. I couldn’t resist and I said I’d catch up to them later. My friends know I do a lot of solo hiking so they weren’t concerned (only my mother worries about me; mom even bought me a PLB, a personal locator beacon). I dodged the mud as best as I could and I was pleasantly surprised at the number of bog bridges and that they were in good condition too. There are many sections that desperately need to be clipped, the spruce have grown in and hide the trail’s foot bed. But what

After our leisurely summit lunch we continued north on the Appalachian Trail via the Kenduskeag Trail. According to the AMC White Mountain Guide, Kenduskeag is an Abenaki word that means “a pleasant walk”. Right off there is a tricky steep ledge and a couple of

The wind was blowing and we all donned our jackets to fight the chill. I pointed to Shelburne Moriah and explained that it was a “52 with a View” peak; the list they should do next!

a glorious trail that lives up to its Abenaki name. I traveled through alpine bogs and open ledges gifting me a grand panorama

over the Wild River Wilderness and beyond. I would have liked to have lingered on the summit but I turned right around and began my game of

The view from the open ledges and alpine bogs is indeed splendid but getting around mud pits and overgrown sections can be difficult. catch up. My adventure took me an hour. Rattle River Trail leaves the ridge on more bog bridges before descending very steeply down many large stone steps. I ponder the fact that all AT hikers have to navigate these steps with carrying heavy backpacks. The trail crosses the Rattle River a few times and thankfully, here higher up, it is more like a big brook. Just before reaching the Rattle River Shelter I met my friends. They explained they took a long break along the river and then stopped to bandage a hot spot before it became a blister on

Sharon’s toe. I am happy to be back with my friends and I’m even happier everyone is having a good time. There was even talk of another hike soon. From the shelter the trail is above the river and follows an old logging road that is wide and soft on our feet. We quickly danced down the trail. All seven of us squeezed into the large SUV for the short drive back to the other car and it wasn’t even 4 o’clock yet! Thankfully Barb and Ellen weren’t in a hurry so we stopped at the Scoggins Ice Cream Shack in Gorham and had big ice cream cones. Have Fun.

Jonathan Edwards Returns to Wolfeboro The Great Waters Music Festival will welcome Jonathan Edwards back to Wolfeboro when he appears at Anderson Hall on Saturday, July 25th . Marina Evans will lead off the evening starting at 7:30. Born in Minnesota, Edwards is a musician and singer-songwriter who has dominated the folk scene for over four decades. His early music career started in high school with a $29 guitar. Ever since then he has played for audiences all over the country at a non-stop pace. Following a brief time at Ohio University where he studied art, Edwards left school and moved to Boston. With Joe Dolce on lead guitar, they appeared under various names such as Sugar Creek, Finite Minds and Headstone Circus. His first album, Jonathan Edwards, reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Sunshine, a replacement song on the album, quickly made its way to the top five on national charts and earned him a gold record. His second album Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy released in 1972 was inspired by his life on a farm in western Massachusetts. Since then he has lived in a variety of places including Nova Scotia, New Hampshire, Virginia and lately Maine. In the mid-seventies his old friend Emmy Lou Harris invited him to sing backup on her album Elite Hotel which led to a contract for him with Warner Bros. Records. The result was two more albums Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chair and Sailboat. In 1987, inspired by the birth of his daughter, he recorded a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album, Little Hands: Songs for and About Children, which was selected by the National Library

Association as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;notable childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recordingâ&#x20AC;?. The album is a mix of American folk songs and original compositions. In addition to his singing-songwriting, Edwards has played the lead in the touring Broadway musical production of Pump Boys and Dinettes. The nineties found Edwards with his own label, his first solo album in five years, and an appearance in the Back to the Future Tour with Don McLean, Tom Rush, Jesse Colin

Young, Steve Forbert and Al Stewart. He also scored the music for the 1996 film The Mouse, produced albums for Cheryl Wheeler, signed Lisa McCormack and Simon Townshend to his new label and released his own album Man in the Moon which featured several of his new originals. His long career has always involved a great deal of travelling and in 2001 he became host of Cruising Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterways, See edwards on 34

Lake Winnipesaukee Museum presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Digging into Native History in New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;?, Featuring Robert Goodby. Abenaki history has been reduced to nearinvisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go â&#x20AC;&#x153;underground,â&#x20AC;? concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here, inches below the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface.

Claire Lynch Band At Pemi Valley Bluegrass Festival

Multi-award winner, Claire Lynch, brings her crystalline voice and razor sharp band to Pemi Valley Bluegrass Festival in Thorton, NH on July 31st as part of The Claire Lynch Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 tour. Twice Grammy-nominated, Claire Lynch is a pioneer and a traditionalist, continually pushing the boundaries of the bluegrass genre. Claire Lynch has long been recognized as a creative force in acoustic music and at the forefront of women who have expanded the bluegrass genre. Blazing her own trail in the mid â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s when there were few role models for a young woman in bluegrass, Claire made history when she fronted the Front Porch String Band, which evolved in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s into one of the most iconic post-modern bluegrass bands on the touring circuit. She formed the Claire Lynch Band in 2005, and is a three-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year award. She

! "

! ! !

is a lifetime member of the Alabama Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and a twotime GRAMMY nominee. Most recently, Claire won the 2014 IBMA Song of the Year award for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Sisterâ&#x20AC;? and the Recorded Event of the Year Award for her participation in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Montana Skies.â&#x20AC;? Dolly Parton credits Claire with â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the sweetest, purest and best lead voices in the music business today,â&#x20AC;? and longtime music critic and author, Robert K. Oermann says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;she sings

like a hillbilly angel.â&#x20AC;? Emmylou Harris also says the singer has â&#x20AC;&#x153;the voice of an angel.â&#x20AC;? On the heels of her IBMA awards and the success of her album Dear Sister, (Compass Records), Claire released her first-ever seasonal album, Holiday! on her own Thrill Hill Records label.

carson from 1

ality, combined with his common sense approach to many of our problems makes him a candidate who should be seriously looked at by anyone who has an interest in seeing a positive change in our country. We also found out he is quite the pool player as he split a two game series of eight ball with Weirs Times publisher Bob Lawton after the interview during an impromptu tour of The Funspot Family Entertainment Center, Lawton’s other business, where the interview took place last Wednesday. What follows are some highlights of our interview with Dr. Carson. What distinguishes you from all of the other candidates in this growing field? First off, I’m not a politician and never want to be. Politicians do what is politically expedient. What we need to do today is what is right and not what is politically expedient. I’ve had a very different set of life experiences than most, having a chance to experience almost every socioeconomic level in our society. I’ve had all kinds of jobs and have also been in a profession that is very difficult and had to solve complex problems within that profession that have never been solved before. Today we need more of a problem solver than we need a politician. As President would you be looking to repeal or change the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)? I would be looking to present a viable alternative. Something that is so attractive that you don’t have to force people into it. They would say “Of course, that makes imminent sense. That’s what I want. It will be much better for me and my family.” This would be simplified Health Savings Accounts (HSA) that you have control of and can only use for medical purposes. It

Dr. Ben Carson sits down with the editorial board of the Weirs Times. (L to R) Sandra Lawton, Assistant to the General Manager at Funspot; David Lawton, Weirs Times Managing Editor; Dr. Ben Carson; Bob Lawton, Weirs Times Publisher and owner/founder of Funspot; Brendan Smith, Weirs Times Editor; Kimberly J.B. Smith, Weirs Times Columnist. would be available to you the day you are born till you die and you can shift money within your HSA within the same family making each family their own insurance company. This gives you enormous flexibility for almost anything that comes up except for catastrophic insurance. It also makes people much more caring and concerned about each other. So if Uncle Joe is smoking like a chimney everyone will be telling Uncle Joe to put that cigarette down. Since 80 percent of your encounters will be handled through your HSA and very little though catastrophic insurance, the cost of that will drop dramatically. I would also make it possible to buy that catastrophic insurance across state lines introducing competition and lowering the cost even more. Now that takes care of seventy-five percent of the population. How do we take care of other twentyfive percent? Those on Medicaid? That annual budget is 400-500 billion and covers about eighty million people and eighty million into 400-500 billion goes five thousand times. Five thousand dollars to each man, woman and child on Medicaid. Think of what you can do with that.

We would have to use that in an intelligent way to craft the right kind of system that includes a health savings account. But people in Washington say you can’t do that. That people wouldn’t handle it correctly . People will quickly learn it will cost them five times more to go to the emergency room than the clinic so they will go to the clinic. The difference being that in the emergency room they patch you up and kick you out while at the clinic they patch you up and then address your underlying problem. So we introduce a

whole new level of savings while teaching the patient about personal responsibility. Of course I would not force people into the HSA. If they want to keep paying exorbitant premiums and having people tell them what they can and cannot do, they are welcome to do that. What do you think is the biggest threat to our country today? There are many threats, but I would like to focus on security because if we don’t get security right nothing else matters. Our cyber capabilities

need to be beefed up significantly both offensively and defensively. If anyone attacks us in cyber warfare we need to immediately attack them in cyber warfare and disable them. Because when the time comes for that attack it won’t just be a cyber attack but also an attack on our electrical system as well as dirty bombs. Right now we are totally unprepared for that. We need to have business and industry and academia and the government working together. We have also diminished See carson on 40

our military capabilities and we are in danger of becoming a regional navy with global interests. Our defensive and military capabilities are shrinking while the capabilities of the radical Isalmic Jihadists who want to destroy us are increasing. We are setting up the perfect storm for the takedown of America. The question is can we even last another year and a half? Pray that God holds the winds back as we are doing nothing At what point in your life did you see yourself as a conservative? I grew up in Detroit, went to Yale ended up in Baltimore, all bastions of liberalism. Early in my residency I started seeing a lot of people who were on welfare who were able-bodied people who had just become dependent on the situation and at the same time I started listening to some of the same things Ronald Reagan was saying. I had always been told that Republicans were racist, mean, horrible people. As I was listening I started thinking, he doesn’t sound that way,

he’s a reasonable guy and what he says actually makes sense. So I started thinking for myself and I became a republican. I stayed a republican up until the impeachment of Clinton and I became an independent because as I listened to the people who were trying to impeach him I thought that some of them were doing the same things themselves. I was an independent till last year when I decided to run. I didn’t want to run as an independent because I didn’t want to facilitate what happened when Ross Perot won and have another progressive president. If they get two or three Supreme Court picks we are toast as a nation. My philosophy

has always been conservative so it was easy to decide which party to register as. How do we get the conservative message out to those who are basically trapped in the cycle of dependency on the government? You won’t get the message out if you don’t talk to them. A few months ago I went to New York to speak at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. A lot of conservatives were upset with me but I said there’s no way you can get your message out without talking to them. The crowd wasn’t all that enthusiastic to See carson on 41

I talked about contributions African Americans have made to the development of this nation. By the time I was through I got a standing ovation and people wanted their picture taken with me. You just have to be willing to go out there. You need to demonstrate to people that there is a different pathway and maybe the easier way isn’t the best. Wouldn’t you rather use the incredible brain God gave you to really take advantage of a system that allows you to create whatever life you want? And I think there are a lot of people who are willing to listen to that. What Is your Immigration Policy? We have the capability to secure the border, we just don’t have the will to do it. We need to also secure the northern border and Atlantic and Pacific borders. It doesn’t all have to be done with f e n c e s and walls. We have a variety of modern techniques that can be utilized. You have to turn off benefits they are coming here for cutting off the illegal portion of it. There are eleven million plus here who don’t know anywhere else. Give them the chance to become guest workers. They will have to register, be in a program to pay all their taxes. This helps them come out of the shadows and helps our farming industry. They won’t be citizens and won’t get voting rights. To become a citizen they have to go to the back of the line and do it like everyone else. Pay homage to those who have been here and are doing it the right way. We can also help create opportunities where they live. Stop giving away billions of dollars

in foreign aid every year. First, we can’t afford it. But we do have extremely capable businesses right now in Cameroon developing millions of acres of very fertile land and getting record crops and at the same time helping to build an infrastructure providing lots of jobs and teaching people. We should be doing the same thing in Central and South America using American companies, not the government. The Space Program Backing away from the space program is one of the biggest mistakes we have ever made. So much of our technology we use today is a result of the space program. We need to have Star Wars technology. One nuclear weapon exploded in the exoatmosphere and our electric grid is shot sending us back to 1940. We need the ability to see and take out anything that is launched on the earth. The Tax Code A complete Flat Tax, no deductions and no loopholes and everyone pays. If everyone is part of the system it is hard for politicians to raise taxes. It’s easy to raise it on the top one or two percent but it’s hard to raise it on a hundred percent. If you are saying “I can’t survive without my mortgage deduction” you are not thinking it through. You will be paying so much less of a tax rate to begin with. People will say “Churches will dry up as charitable giving will stop,” But they forgot that Americans were very generous before 1913 when the tax code was established and will continue to be. I think if people have more money in their pocket they will be more generous and they get to decide where it goes. We need to have more people prospering, even the people at the top because that benefits everyone. Global Warming At any point in time the

earth is getting warmer or colder and when it stops doing that then we are dead. All intelligent people feel an obligation to preserve their environment and pass it on to the next generation. That is very different than using the EPA and other agencies to impose an ideological agenda. If someone has definitive proof that something is causing major damage of course you should regulate it, but not based on ideology. You look at the incredible riches that we have in terms of energy. All of our reservoirs are full but we have nowhere

to go with it with these energy exportation rules implemented in the 70s we need to get rid of. We now have ability to liquefy natural gas and have more of the world dependent on us for energy instead of Putin. A lot of the money that is generated through fossil fuels can be used for renewable energy research which we will need in the future, though we don’t need it right now. The green energy versus fossil energy people don’t need to be enemies. We can do more than one thing at a time.

Not Having A Legislative Background How Do You Answer The Concern Of Getting Things Done With Congress And Senate? You surround yourself with people who do know the process. You can provide the leadership they need. We have sent a lot of good people to congress but haven’t done much because of no leadership in the White House. I would make the negotiations transparent like Obama said and didn’t do. For more information about Dr. Carson visit www.bencarson.com.

wicked brew from 13

ate the overall balance of this 22 oz beer and want to sample it again (and again...) so, this short series will probably be gone soon; you will want to get it quickly. With the many other offerings from Smuttynose, you will always find it at Case-n-Keg in Meredith and Laconia. Most on BeerAdvocate.com have rated this beer 3.5+ to 4.3 out of a score of 5. Officially, they rate this at 86 out of 100 which a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;very goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notation. The Bros scorers give it a 90! Smuttynose has a wild history of making beautiful brews and Homunculus is now added to that list!

The Belgian-style Golden Ale gets you into the right zone, but the rest has to be experienced. Traditional Belgian beers use yeast that amplifies a banana and clove flavor, which is Homunculusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting point. Cloudy, deep orange in color with a foamy offwhite head, it pushes a semi-sweet malt-forward presence, with spicy clove, fruit, green apple and yeasty attributes. They use two malt types and three hops; Magnum (bittering), Sterling (flavor) and dry hopped with Calypso. In fact, this beer is so complex, you may think it is one flavor at the beginning (first sip) and quite a different flavor by the end of the bottle, with some variations in between. At 9.8% ABV (alcohol) and 45 IBU (hop character), this big beer speaks for itself. You will appreci-

of welfare dependency? None of those things was as bad in the first 100 years after slavery as they became in the wake of the policies and notions of the 1960s. To many on the left, the 1960s were the glory days of their movements, and for some the days of their youth as well. They have a heavy emotional investment and ego investment in the ideas, aspirations and policies of the 1960s. It might never occur to many of them to check their beliefs against some hard facts about what actually happened after their ideas and policies were put into effect. It certainly would not be pleasant to admit, even to yourself, that after promising progress toward â&#x20AC;&#x153;social justice,â&#x20AC;? what you actually delivered was a retrogression toward barbarism. The principal victims of

these retrogressions are the decent, law-abiding members of black communities across the country who are prey to hoodlums and criminals. Back in the 19th century Frederick Douglass saw the dangers from wellmeaning whites. He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has asked the question, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What shall we do with the Negro?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us.â&#x20AC;? Amen. Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Though China remains Africa’s largest trading partner, there’s an clear undercurrent of resentment between many of the African countries and Beijing. In such cases, France would presumably be a third party facilitator in this form of economic diplomacy. Franco/Chinese relations are still basking in the afterglow of the 50th anniversary celebrations in both

Paris and Beijing recalling France being among the first major West European countries to open diplomatic ties with Mao’s thenisolated People’s Republic back in 1964. This diplomatic move put France in a special relationship with China. Yet modern China is less about sentiment than about the business bottom line. For Francois Hollande’s Socialists, France’s tradi-

tional commitment to the rights of man and freedoms in general are easily shelved in this lucrative commercial entente with People’s China. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He is the author of Divided Dynamism The Diplomacy of Divided Nations: Germany, Korea, China (2014).

Great Acts To 4th Annual Rochester Blues/ BBQ Festival The James Montgomery Blues Band will be the featured performers as Rochester Main Street volunteers celebrate downtown with their fourth annual Blues/BBQ Festival on Saturday, July 18 from 10 am until 4 pm on North Main Street at the Cocheco Riverwalk. Sponsored by DF Richard Energy and a grant from the NH State Council On The Arts, the Blues/BBQ Festival also hosts Linda Pouliot, Deep Fried Blues, Poor Howard and Bullfrog Rogers, Threedom Blues Band, and Kerri Powers. Guests are asked to bring a lawn chair and enjoy some blues as there is a full line-up of entertainment for your enjoyment! A suggested donation of $5 to support the Blues Festival is also welcome. A special BBQ cook off is being organized by Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, PA that includes a “People’s Choice Award” of a $100 cash prize and plaque. Judging will take place for best chicken, pulled pork, ribs and brisket offered. An $8 sampling badge entitles the first 200 people to vote on the Peoples Choice event, with proceeds benefitting downtown Rochester promotions. Particpating BBQ vendors include Lilac City Grille, Revolution Taproom & Grill, cast & Grind and Happy Pappy’s Country Store. Guests can also enjoy a cold

brew at the Smuttynose Hospitality tent this year. There is still room to sign up and join in the more than 40 food, arts, craft and organization vendors, and volunteers are also needed. The Rochester Arts & Culture Commission will also host a sidewalk Chalk Art Show on the Riverwalk, with sign-ups for a square beginning at 8:00 am. Rochester Main Street volunteers will be dishing up their infamous blueberry dumplings while they last. Downtown businesses are also encouraged to participate by coming out onto the sidewalk on North Main. Vendor forms are available online at www. rochestermainstreet.org . Free parking is available in the City Hall, Congress Street, Columbus Avenue, River Street and Union Street Municipal Parking Lots, all just a short walk away from the North Main Street Event. Traffic will be re-routed onto River Street and Bridge Street from 8:00 am until 5 pm that day during the event. The Blues and BBQ Festival is brought to you in partnership with waste Management of ME/NH and the City of Rochester Public Works and Police Departments.
