Riding The Rails In New Hampshire Hobo and Winnipeaukee Scenic Railroads by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad out of Meredith. Both offer a variety of ways to experience a train ride today. Before we get to that, you need to know the history. Today, the stretch of rail owned by the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads runs between Northfield and Lincoln and was originally part of the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad which was chartered in 1844. Con-
struction of the main line started in Concord in 1846. The tracks to Laconia were complete din 1848 and to Plymouth in 1850. (Eventually, the line went to Vermont where it was completed in 1853.) The line from Plymouth to Lincoln was chartered in 1874 by the Pemigewasset Valley Railroad. Construction began in 1882 and a 22-mile section to North Woodstock was completed in one See RAILROADS on 30

The Lakes Region of New Hampshire and north have a vibrant historical connection with railroads. From tourism to industry, they once were the engine of its economy. Today, the Hobo Railroad and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad are keeping that history alive, running on those same tracks, yet constantly innovating to
keep the magic of railroads alive for both those who remember trains as a prominent way of life and for those who relish a connection with the past. “The Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads are really neat experiences for families,” said Paul Giblin, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “They really cross a lot of age barriers.” The Hobo Railroad runs out of Lincoln, NH

The Hobo Railroad cruises along the shores of the Pemigewasset River. Along with its counterpart, the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, which does the same by Lake Winnipesaukee, this rail line is working at keeping the proud history of courtesy Photo New Hampshire railroads alive for members of all generations.

The largest public gathering of Abbot-Downing vehicles in New Hampshire will take place on Saturday, July 20, and Sunday, July 21, on the grounds of the New London Historical Society (NLHS). Four of the iconic Concord Coaches, along with carriages and wagons - restored and in their original condition - will be on display throughout both days. The event is presented by NLHS and the Abbot-Downing Society. At 2pm each day there will be a program on the history of the Abbot-Downing Company, which was a major employer in Concord. In addition to vehicles on display an exhibit entitled Maria’s Room, featuring the sole woman to work for Abbot-Downing, speaks to both the role of women in the 19th century workforce, and the detail required to produce a truly fine coach. A photo exhibit on the Abbot-Downing’s coaches highlights the role they played in the Kearsarge/Sunapee region as transport and at Colby Academy. A hands-on demo opportunity will allow visitors to use a “rein board” to simulate driving a coach and two, four or more horses. A working blacksmith’s shop will be open and demonstrate the importance of the “smithy” in the Concord Coach era. Bring your picnic lunch or supper for time on the green to enjoy “Banjos and Old Lace,” on Saturday, beginning at 3:00 on the porch of the Country Store. The Good Humor man will be around all day to provide that cooling refresher. The New London Historical Society is located at 179 Little Sunapee Road (Rt. 114) in New London. Hours for the Concord Coach Weekend are 1 pm to 7 pm on Saturday, July 20; and 1 pm to 4 pm on Sunday, July 21. Details and directions are available at www.NewLondonHistoricalSociety.org.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Exposing Secrets
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Psst!! Flatlanders!! I’m here to let you in on a few secrets. I’m one myself, you know..a Flatlander, I mean, not a secret. I moved here in 1985 from Long Island, New York. I’ve lived here now twentyeight years and since 1995, through these pages, I have been, among other things, explaining how I learned to adjust to life here in the Granite State. Some of it seems like a far memory now and a lot of it has changed. For example, you can’t go picking the good stuff at the dump anymore. This was a fun game where you could bring an empty pickup truck (now I know why they call it that) and come home with a brand new, used rusty appliance. It seems the litigious craziness has even seeped its way up here. You can’t be doing that stuff anymore. But that’s not what I am here to tell you about today. I’m here to tell you about how natives of New Hampshire have been spying on us for years. This is something many of us older Flatlanders, who have lived here for years now, but have been afraid to talk about. But I am here to break the silence; to let you in on these secrets. Some might call me a whistleblower and hoist me upon their shoulders. Others might look at me as a traitor, now that the na-
tives will know we are onto their secrets, and will never quite trust us again. But, these stories need to be told. So, I will take my chances. Be careful when buying anything that says “I Love New Hampshire” on it. Though most of these are safe, some have been equipped with highly sophisticated bugging devices. You see, natives know that only Flatlanders will buy such things and either wear them or place them in their homes, allowing their most intimate of conversations be recorded for dissection. As I said, not all of these things are bugged. Look carefully for any signs when purchasing them. Be careful not to ask any local native store owner these seemingly innocent but volatile words: “I’m not from around here. What do you suggest?” Soon you will find yourself with a bag full of goods, most equipped with sophisticated, miniature recording devices. Odds are good the stylish carrying bag will have one as well. Yard sales, too, are breeding grounds for spying equipment. Don’t be fooled by that antique replica of the Old Man Of The Mountain. Chances are there is the latest in tiny video equipment in its nose. For those of you who have recently moved here be aware of your surroundings. A casusal conversation with a native neighbor may not be all it seems. “Nice day.” “Yup.” “Think it will rain?’ “Mebee” How do you think this winter will be?” “Hard to say.” Innocent? Maybe. But some are recording your every movement and voice patterns which is stored in a database to be studied by
a group of native psychologists who will then decipher your body movements which will then be taught to undercover natives who will use this knowledge to pretend they are Flatlanders in order to mingle with other Flatlanders and gather even more valuable information. Yes, it goes that deep. If you have ever gone to one of those things called Bean Hole Bean dinners, be aware. Always check the weight of your silverware and more importantly, the Bean Hole Beans. The natives are now beginning to perfect nanotechnology. Also be aware of places offering things like New York Style Pizza and Coney Island style hot dogs. You can almost be certain that these were created for one reason only and backed with plenty of native dollars. So there you have it. Some of the secrets revealed. There are plenty more and I will soon be making them public as soon as I can find a publishing partner who isn’t afraid to take the risk with me. So far, I haven’t been very successful. But, I understand. Think of me as you will as either a hero or the enemy. It makes no difference to me now. I just hope that my family forgives me and no harm will come to them. They had nothing to do with this. I take full responsibility for my actions. I have been offered asylum in Vermont and California, but, in reality, I think I’d rather just stay right here and take my chances. Those places are crazy. You can follow Brendan’s detective mystery “The Case of The Missing Flatlander” at www.foolinnh.com. His new book “The Flatlander Chronicles” will be published very soon.

Waving The Wand To The Editor: A few days ago Congresswoman Kuster left a robocall on my answering machine. She wanted me to participate in a telephone town hall about keeping student loan rates artificially low. It didn’t take her long to drink the water in Washington. She thinks that whatever the problem, Washington can wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. What she and the rest of Washington fail to understand is that each wave of the wand has many consequences, and many of those are unexpected. Even in the rare cases where the wand wave has the desired effect there are negative consequences elsewhere. Even when it’s as simple as taxing or borrowing to keeps some people’s student loan rates low, there are negative consequences felt by each person who pays increased taxes or each person who might otherwise have invested the money borrowed by the government. Some 20 or 30 years ago Washington decided that college education was an unqualified good thing, and that everyone should have one. They established loan and grant programs to make college education affordable and available to everyone. The result was that lots more people went to college. However, many of them would never benefit from a college education because they were going to end up in a field where their cost of college would not add to
Our Story
their earning power. Then there are the people who drop out when they find that a college education isn’t for them but still have loans that won’t be forgiven. Wouldn’t these people be better off if they’d just gone to work after high school? Now that the system is in place, and colleges have expanded to bring in more students (and loan money), Washington can’t turn things around. Any discussion of sending fewer people to college is treated as heresy. The education lobby would have the head of any legislator who suggests that universal college education funded by loans guaranteed and subsidized by the taxpayers isn’t a good idea. So the beat goes on: Kids get into college programs that will never pay off financially, some kids who never should have started drop out of college, then members of both groups find that they can’t pay off the loans that “advisors� told them were a good idea. If I were one of the young people misguided into fifteen years of trying to pay college loans while working at a low paying job, I would have a great deal of resentment toward guidance counselors, college admissions departments, and the wand wavers who think they know what’s best for everyone. Maybe it’s time to talk about the true value of college education. Perhaps we could even talk about how the wand wavers in Washington more often turn out to be “wicked witches� than “fairy god-

From The State House Granite State Future vs. Private Property Rights Last week was the first article in a series of four discussing Granite State Future (GSF), a massive government planning initiative here in New by Rep. Jane Cormier Hampshire. Belknap District 8 The Federal Government via the department of HUD (US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development) is driving this potential train wreck, not only here in NH but in most other states as well. (Same government over-reach but different names.) Quite simply, this program is a monstrous example of government on steroids. But, you may be asking, “Why should I be interested in GSF? How does this affect me or my
family?” Great questions – let’s look at some facts. Granite State Future is all about private property rights. YOUR private property rights. Decisions about what you can and cannot do with/on your private property are being made by UNELECTED OFFICIALS here in the Lakes Region and beyond. Let’s be very clear – GSF is a non-partisan issue. It is not conservative vs. liberal or Republican vs. Democrat. GSF is a battle between those who cherish our private property rights and those who feel they know BETTER what to do with your land, your water, your energy choices, even your trees! The lynchpin here is if you talk to any members of the nine regional planning commissions in NH about GSF, they will respond, See cormier on 24
Let Them Starve: Gitmo Swindlers Strike Again World Crisis Alert: Guantanamo Bay detainees don’t want to eat. Muslim rapper Yasiin “Mos Def” Bey is so worked up about their by Michelle Malkin appetite plight Syndicated Columnist that he videotaped himself being force-fed to build support for closing Gitmo. Cry me a river. This latest round of hunger strikes isn’t an international human rights tragedy. It’s another manipulative act of Jihad Theater. Have you forgotten? Calculated Gitmo fabulism goes back to 2005, when Newsweek fell for false rumors that U.S. soldiers “flushed” the Koran down a toilet at the military detention facility in Cuba. Gullible media reports of “desecration” provided a handy pretext for anti-American riots across the Muslim world that resulted in nearly a dozen deaths. Detainees later ‘fessed up that the conflagration stemmed from one of their own dropping the Koran in prison and blaming a guard. Meanwhile, it was Gitmo residents themselves who were purposefully tearing up Korans. One guard reported in May 2003: “Detainee residing in cell (redacted) block tore his Quran into small pieces.” Another prisoner “did intentionally destroy his Quran and throw (it) out of his cell,” according to a separate government report. Al-Qaida explicitly instructs its operatives to lie. A central jihad tenet, taqiyya, encourages Islamists to use deceit and victim politics to wage war. And while soft-on-terror sympathizers cast our military personnel as ruthless war criminals,
Gitmo detainees have violently attacked them with everything from makeshift weapons and radios to disgusting cocktails of blood, vomit, feces, urine and sperm. To date, there are no reports of detainees attacking our guards with the dozens of Sony PlayStations, Nintendo DS consoles, art supplies and DVDs that detainees have been given over the years. The toys and crafts are off limits! Have you forgotten? The Gitmo stuntmen coordinated suicide threats to drum up global outrage over America’s decision to hold and try them in our military system, instead of in our civilian court system. These sabotage strikes were clear acts of asymmetric warfare by cold-blooded terror operatives versed in exploitation of Western sensibilities and civil liberties. Detainees considered suicides at the facility acts of martyrdom and “a continuance of their jihad against the U.S.,” according to leaked documents. Military commanders discovered that detainees were abusing confidential attorneyclient privileges by hiding notes and plots in special envelopes protected from the guards’ reach. Sound familiar? The same kind of subversive techniques were used by convicted jihad legal helper Lynne Stewart, who smuggled coded messages of Islamic violence on behalf of her client -- jailed terrorist Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, mastermind of the 1993 WTC bombing and spiritual instigator of the 1997 massacre of Western tourists in Luxor, Egypt, and the 9/11 attacks. Also forgotten in all the knee-jerk hoopla over the Gitmo food fight: just how much American officials have bent over backward to accommodate militant detainees’ demands. In his 2005 tell-all book

Dragonfly Wings Across America NEW YORK—A

The amazing carbon fiber aircraft has the wingspan of a Boeing 747 (63 m or 208 feet) but the weight of a small car (1,600kg or 3,500 lbs). Inside an aircraft hangar at JFK airport, the plane resembles a huge dragon fly or the iconic U 2 recon plane; a large wing and a pencil-thin fuselage. Indeed 12,000 solar cells are built into the wings to power four 10 horsepower electric propellers with renewable energy. They charge batteries allowing for the aircraft to fly at night. Arriving at New York’s JFK on a hot summer night, the aircraft set a new aviation milestone; the first trans-continental flight
The crew themselves are pilots with a passion; Piccard, the Chairman of Solar Impulse is a doctor, psychiatrist, and pilot; Andre Borschberg co-founder holds a management degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston and is a Swiss Air Force pilot. Starting in San Francisco, California in early May with a majestic sweep over the Golden Gate Bridge, the plane piloted by Piccard, first flew to Phoenix, Arizona. While in Arizona the pilots and crew were feted by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer before making the commencement address to engineering graduates at Arizona State University. Later in the May the plane flew to Dallas, then in early June to St. Louis. In midJune the aircraft flew to Washington DC/Dulles airport. In early July with Andre Borschberg at the controls, the plane made its final flight leg
from Washington to New York. The distance covered was 495 kms or 267 miles; the flight time 18 hours and 23 minutes. Why so long? Slow speed and complicated air traffic control patterns on the east coast. As
the cockpit holds only one person each pilot alternated in flying the plane on different legs of the trip. Viewing the evolution of solar powered aviation, Borschburg See Metzler on 38
Who Is Racist? I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white. Apparently other Americans also recby Thomas Sowell o g n i z e t h a t Syndicated Columnist the sources of racism are different today from what they were in the past. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31 percent of blacks think that most blacks are racists, while 24 percent of blacks think that most whites are racist. The difference between these percentages is not great, but it is remarkable nevertheless. After all, generations of blacks fought the white racism from which they suffered for so long. If many blacks themselves now think that most other blacks are racist, that is startling. The moral claims advanced by generations of black leaders -claims that eventually touched the conscience of the nation
and turned the tide toward civil rights for all -- have now been cheapened by today’s generation of black “leaders,” who act as if it is all just a matter of whose ox is gored. Even in legal cases involving terrible crimes -- the O.J. Simpson murder trial or the charges of gang rape against Duke University students -- many black “leaders” and their followers have not waited for facts about who was guilty and who was not, but have immediately taken sides, based on who was black and who was white. Among whites, according to the same Rasmussen poll, 38 percent consider most blacks racist and 10 percent consider most whites racist. Broken down by politics, the same poll showed that 49 percent of Republicans consider most blacks racist, as do 36 percent of independents and 29 percent of Democrats. Perhaps most disturbing of all, just 29 percent of Americans as a whole think race relations are getting better, while 32 percent think See Sowell on 38

CNHARC 2013 Field Day – Tricks and Treats by Tim Carter Contributing Writer
“I’ve got to take Ed to the hospital,” I urgently uttered through the narrow door opening of Jim Cluett’s, W1PID camoflouged VW vanagon. He was focused on di’s and dah’s that were filling his camper van like ZZZZZZZZs in an army barracks after the first hard day of basic training. It was a balmy evening, and I had just scampered across the macadam parking lot under the soft illumination of mercury-vapor lights. Pop-up campers, cars, trucks, and trailers were scattered behind the Weirs Times building immediately adajcent to the Funspot entertainment complex like beer cups at the Sandwich Fair. Ladder-line antennas reached up from the camp-
ers to a web of center-fed and end-fed antennas. Many were multi-band and abuzz with incoming and outgoing QSOs, as well as some dupes. After all it was CNHARC Field Day 2013, and we were having fun. What better place to do that than next to Funspot? “Ed O’Hearn? What’s wrong?!” exclaimed Jim with a serious look on his face. His eyes were as tightly focused on me as they are on his rig when he’s trying to extract an Eastern European contact running at 2 watts on 20 meters.I was getting ready to head home for some sleep after being one of the first folks to show up earlier in the day. I’d been at it for nearly twelve hours. My day consisted of logging QSOs, schmoozing with friends that had stopped by to discover more about ham radio, learning

The day before I was part of the setup crew, and had invested three hours at the site setting up antennas and helping to make sure we had all the needed supplies for a successful event.
This was just my second field day. Last year I was still new to the club, and I felt as awkward at the Belknap County Fairgrounds site as a teenager at an adult get together. But fast forward one year with solid friendships forged during the year with other club members
and I was quite comfortable in my skin. Perhaps a little too comfortable. Just after dinner I was talking with a brand new ham, Rosemary Landry, KC1AAP. She’s as sharp as a tack and was trying to create a mental who’s-who See field on 12

Composition VII by Wassily Kandinsky -1913. by Kimberly J.B.Smith Contributing Writer
Look around and you will agree that we are all different and individual. How often have we heard that life would be boring if we were all the same? For the few who have synesthesia, life can be utterly unique. Synesthesia is a rare event where an individual’s senses are combined in such a way that they may (really) taste shapes or feel music or see letters and numbers in colors. Such pairings never change and can be retested in individuals over time. Imagine how confusing it would be to try to navigate such things as a subway when the colors and numbers do not match the pairings in your head? In The Man Who Tasted Shapes by Richard E. Cytowic, examples of synesthesia include such things as a beeper sounding like blinding red daggers or a Chihuahua’s bark like white spikes or angel food cake smelling pink. These personal perspectives were isolating to synesthetes before scientists revealed this overlapping of senses. In Greek, the word syn means together and the
word aisthesis means sensation. In synesthetes (those who have synesthesia), this event is involuntary and seems to run in families. Synethesia has been known to science for two or three hundred years, depending on who you ask. Many artistic types have expressed their art through their synesthesia but for those who are not true synesthetes, the exercise is a metaphor. True synesthetes cannot be created. You either have it or you don’t. Among the true synesthetes is artist David Hockney. When designing sets for an opera, he would listen to music about the topic to be painted and paint the colors as the music conjured them in his head. British by birth, Hockney’s art is well known in the United States. Featured here is a painting by the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (18661944). He called his glorious paintings compositions (often a visual art reference) but also improvisations (also a musical reference). A true synesthete, Kandinsky’s paintings are a
spectacular view inside his head. In his book, On the Spiritual in Art, Kandinsky said his art was an attempt to create a synesthetic dimension, rather than simply painting an expression of his synesthesia. For the rest of us, I would argue that his art translates as beautiful metaphor. They give us a sense of his true life experience of the combining of music and color in his mind. Many books have been written about the topic of synesthesia. They include: Synesthesia, The Strangest Thing by John Harrison and The Man Who Tasted Shapes by Richard E. Cytowic M.D. Additionally, articles in Smithsonian magazine and segments on the TV news show 60 Minutes have featured this topic. Kimberly J. B. Smith is an artist and art educator. This summer she is teaching a variety of eclectic art workshops for all levels at VynnArt in Meredith. For a complete listing go to www. vynnart.com. Kimberly’s email is artgirl@weirs.com.

all the amazing home-brew things he had, he replied, “Nope. I grew up in Maine during WW II where you had to make things if you needed them.” I didn’t major in math, but that makes Bob an octogenarian, or most certainly closing in on it rapidly. “You should meet his wife. She’s 28-years old,” I murmurred so as to not draw attention to those standing near us. “Really?”, expounded Rosemary with eyes as wide as an airplane-hanger door. I hesitated with my response not able to disguise my impish grin. Gotcha! The next thing I saw was the flick of her wrist and I was drenched in ice-cold water. I must admit, it felt good – both the water and the tease. That’s what the 2013 CNHARC Field Day was about. Good times, laughter, lots of teasing and the occassional prank. If there was drama, it totally bypassed me, perhaps when I was gobbling up the fresh french bread baked by John Haven, KC1AAG, or the delicious assortment of salads and spaghetti we had at dinner. Thanks Dave, KA1VJU and Peg Brown KB1GQV for that! My dinner appetite was curbed only because I had stuffed my pie hole at lunch with two of the mouthwatering chicken salad and ham salad sandwiches. That’s two total, not two of

Earlier, before lunch, Jim and I were absconding with handfuls of fresh potato chips hoping Dick Christopher didn’t see us. Prior to field day, there was apprehension from the more experienced club members about the Funspot location. Cliff Dickinson, N1RCQ was worried about RF interference from the video game machines just down the hill inside Funspot. Before we went on the air at 2 pm on Saturday there was concern that the antennas were too close to one another and that would cause problems. But as it turned out, no one reported any harmful or pesky interference. Pests would arise later just like the super moon that was forecast to float above the southeastern sky that weekend. As day turned into night, just about every type of radio signal was being transmitted from the CNHARC members. Several were do-

ing phone(voice) on many of the bands. Jim Cluett was racking up QSOs on CW faster than I used to cut 2x4s. I tried to do CW on 20 meters mid-afternoon, but my poor skills made my code unintelligible. Not to worry. I was able to contribute to the club effort with 300 points per the ARRL rules. I did this by getting two published stories in local papers, arranging for the Funspot public location, and getting an elected official to show up at the event. Teamwork – that’s the hallmark of CNHARC Field Day. You need points, I can get them. You need a clean-power generator with an inverter, Rick Zach, K1RJZ to the rescue. How about a 25-foot mast for an antenna support? Paul Moore, N1VUI is your man. You need a Field Day General? Call in Dick Christopher, N1LT. Dave Megin, KA1VJU puts his shoulder to the Field Day millstone and never asks for praise. The list of CNHARC contributors is as long as the one multi-band antenna that stretched diagonally across the parking lot. Everyone should be congratulated. As fatigue started to overtake me on Saturday night, I decided to make the rounds to say good night to many of my friends. One person I hadn’t spoken with all day was Ed. I wandered over to his deluxe camper and saw the soft glow of a computer screen through the open camper windows. One other person was in the shadows with Ed. I gently tapped on the door and walked up the steps. There was Ed, N1EO with Dick Christopher, N1LT. See field on 26

July 23~27
The M/S Mount Washington has quite a legacy in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, having cruised the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee for many years. But the success of the company has happened through not only the ship itself, but the longevity of its crew, who now collectively have more than 100 years of experience. Many of the crew members aboard the M/S Washington, M/V Doris C. and U.S. Mail Boat Sophie C. will tell you that while they get paid to do their jobs and take their responsibilities very seriously, the passion for what they do outweighs any paycheck. This is also what has kept them aboard for so many
years: a deep sense of appreciation for their fleet, the lake, and being able to see both through new eyes all the time. “I don’t think you ever get the opportunity to get bored. Mother Nature can get your attention really quickly and the neat part is, no two days are the same. The weather is always changing, the boat traffic is always changing. The biggest thing is the people on board are always changing,” said Captain Paul Smith, known more commonly as “Smitty,” who is celebrating his 27th season with the company. “Certainly, fall foliage is one of those times of the year where people really make a choice to come to New England.

to meet people from all over the world. If they are coming to the area, it’s always nice to say, “Where are you going from here?” If you can help people out with their experience, it’s kind of a neat thing.” Fleet Captain Leo O’Connell, who is celebrating his 23rd season with the company, agreed. “People say, don’t you get bored out here? And I say, ‘we are going to pass five mile island and I have passed five mile island thousands of times, but this is the first time with you. You make the difference today.’” O’Connell docks his boat near the Mount and can be found out on the lake even when he isn’t working. “My wife says, you’re the

Over eighty years later, their legacy continues. Today, The Barnstormers is one of three Equity theatres in New Hampshire and is the only theatre in the world that maintains the summer theatre tradition of eight plays in eight weeks.

only person I know who loves to go to work, you come home with a smile on your face every day because you had a great day and you do what you do for a living after you get out of work. We don’t get tired of it,� he said. Captain Bruce Campbell joined the company in 1969 as a part-time summer employee, eventually coming on full-time. He is now the “go to� person on the ship and can be found in the wheelhouse, pursers office or doing anything else that is needed on deck. “At first it was a summer job when I was in high school and college. When I got tired of public education, I came to work here full-time. From there, I was here, I was here, and I kept adding new jobs,� he said. When asked what keeps him coming back every day, he said, “You’re always meeting new people. No two days weather-wise are going to be the same. I have been in the wheel house at times where we had the engines doing everything they could to pull us away from a dock in the strong winds, and other days when there wasn’t a ripple on the lake. It changes constantly.� If anyone knows the

This is my baby,” he said of the Mount. “The love of the ship and the people have kept me going. That’s what makes it worth it. It doesn’t feel like
a job most days, but there is a lot of responsibility too. As a crew, we have fun. If you don’t have fun, it’s time to go home.

held for seven years, and has been a Coast Guard reservist for 28 years, so driving boats is not something new. “I missed driving boats and I missed the lake, so this was a good fit for me,” she said. “I am learning a lot of new things and I have met a lot of new people. I am amazed at the behind the scenes workings of this vessel and the company itself. No one ever sits down. The deck hands and the crew are constantly in motion. There is always something to do. It’s amazing to me. There’s a lot of talent and highly skilled professionals on the ship. There is a lot to driving these vessels.” These are just some of the faces guests see aboard the Mount, ready to share a story, point out an important scenic landmark or make a future travel recommendation. But beyond those, they are genuinely there to make every passenger’s experience as great as their own.

Lakeside Rustic Camps of the Past and Present WOLFEBORO - The New Hampshire Boat Museum begins its summer lecture series with a program entitled “Lakeside Rustic Camps of the Past and Present.” The lecture will be held on Thursday, July 18 at 7pm and will be presented by architect Chris Williams. Following the lecture there will be light refreshments including iced coffee from Seven Suns Coffee and Tea in Wolfeboro. There is no charge to attend the lecture. Chris Williams will be talking about the rustic camp traditions of the Lakes Region and how they can be preserved for contemporary life styles. He will also speak about how new buildings can be designed to reflect the feel of rustic camps. Finally, Chris will talk about what can be done to maximize energy efficiency measures into new buildings while still respecting the feel of historic buildings. Chris Williams founded Christopher P. Williams Architects, PLLC in 1984 after 11 years as an architect with other firms in New Hampshire. Since that time, Chris has been intensely involved in numerous professional and community-based organizations dedicated to historic preservation and community charitable work. To learn more about the lecture visit the Museum’s website at www.nhbm.org or call the Museum at 560-4554.

How To Inspect Your Historic Home SOUTH BERWICK, ME - Like an annual doctor’s check-up, an annual home inspection is your best means of preventative care. From chimneys, to wood shingles, to foundations, there are key issues and common scenarios to be familiar with. What kinds of mortar should you use on your historic brick? Why are moths a serious threat to your building materials? When can your landscaping negatively affect your building? Whether your house was built in 1960 or 1760, taking time to conduct an annual inspection can help you prioritize repair and routine maintenance projects to ensure your home’s longterm preservation. On Wednesday, July 17 at 7pm, come learn from Historic New England Preservation Services Manager, Carissa Demore what to look for when inspecting the exterior and interior of your old house and how to address common problems. In her talk, she will demonstrate up-close the methods used in these professional inspections, and how you can easily apply them in your own home. This program is free to Historic New England members, and $5 for nonmembers. Registration is recommended. For more information please call 207-3842454. Jewett-Eastman House is located at 37 Portland St., South Berwick, Maine.

“This is advisory only. The state RSA’s limit us to only make recommendations to all member cities, towns, and villages.” Well, that sounds innocuous enough. But, that is just half the truth. And you know they say about half truths - “A half-truth is a whole lie.” Hmmm… When you read through the pages (and pages and pages) of documents which make up GSF, you will discover a rather chilling

paragraph on Page 15 of the “Rating Factor Narrative”. I suspect this was a document written by a HUD official in a tiny cubicle in Washington, D.C. No self-respecting NH resident could come up with such breathtaking nonsense. Under the heading, “Strategy to Address Barriers and Incorporate Existing Plans” it says, “One of the steps in the visioning and planning process to be used by each region will be to identify existing and po-

tential barriers to ensuring sustainable communities and to articulate strategies the regions will use to mitigate or overcome each barrier. Anticipated barriers include NH’s strong tradition of individual property rights and resultant resistance to planning and zoning; and a currently strained State budget that will limit State Agencies capacity to conduct future planning efforts.” WHAT! Go back and read that again. It clearly states this program is AGAINST private property rights AND the Federal Government notes that our “strained” State budget is a cog in the wheel of their progress to overtake our rights. In a nut shell, our Federal government, through the HUD program is funding state wide sustainability/conservation initiatives with legally binding contracts through NH Regional Planning Commissions, ensuring MANDATORY outcomes on OUR private property rights. And worse, this is being implemented WITHOUT legislative representation of our citizenry. WRONG – WRONG – WRONG. The core document that is the foundation for “sustainability” is probably right on your library’s shelf. It’s entitled, “Agenda 21 Earth Summit – The United Nations Programme of Action from Rio”. This is the actual playbook that President Clinton handed out to all those that served on his commission created by his Executive Order #12852. This Executive Order’s sole purpose was to blend the goals of Agenda 21 into every Federal department. Believe me, they did a magnificent job at HUD, EPA and the Federal DOT! Our Founders must be turning over in their graves! Next week’s installment will turn up the heat just a bit, and delve into which of our “neighbors” are responsible for trying to weaken/ destroy our private property rights. In the meantime, I invite you to check out: www.GraniteStateFutures.org. It answers many questions which need to be addressed!

DISTRIBUTION NOTICE:
RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above are the Overstuffed Money Bags containing 10 individual Vault Bags full of money that everyone is trying to get. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the early 1900s.
State zip codes determine who gets free Silver coins Vault bags loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued coins are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the money; now any U.S. resident who finds their zip code listed below gets to claim the bags of money for themselves and keep any valuable coins found inside by covering the Vault Bag fee within the next 2 days The phone lines are ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 2 days Vault Bags containing valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication. “Now that the bags of money are up for grabs U.S. residents are claiming as many as they can get before they’re all gone. That’s because after the Vault Bags were loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins the bags were sealed for good. But we do know that some of the coins date clear back to the early 1900s, including: a 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, an Eisenhower Dollar, some of the last ever minted U.S. Dollars, Kennedy Half Dollars, Silver Mercury Dimes, rarely seen Liberty ‘V’ Nickels, nearly 100 year old Buffalo Nickels and unsearched currently circulating U.S. Gov’t issued nickels, dimes and quarter dollars, but there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins.” said Timothy J. Shissler, Chief Numismatist for the private World Reserve. The only thing residents need to do is call the National Claim Hotline before the 2-day order deadline ends. Everyone who does is being given the 90% pure Silver Walking Liberty coin for free just by covering the fee for each Vault Bag loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins for only $99 as long as they call before the deadline ends. So, if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N
How to claim the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Read the important information
below. Then call the National Claim Hotline at: 1-888-282-6742
FREE: RED BOOK COLLECTOR VALUE $15 to $325
I keep calling and can’t get through: This announcement is being so widely advertised because each Vault Bag is guaranteed to contain a free Silver Walking Liberty coin and just that one coin alone could be worth $15 to $325 in collector value. So thousands of residents are calling to claim as many Vault Bags as they can get before they’re all gone. In fact, since the Vault Bag fee is just $ 99 everyone is claiming as many bags as they can before the deadline ends. So if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. How much are the Vault Bags worth: Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but here’s why U.S. residents are claiming as many Vault Bags as they can get before they’re all gone. After the Vault bags were loaded with over 100 U.S. Gov’t issued coins including: Silver, scarce, highly collectible, and a big scoop of unsearched currently circulating U.S. Gov’t issued coins the bags were sealed for good. But we do know that some of the coins date back to the 1900s. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins. So you better believe at just $99 the Vault Bag fee is a real steal since the free Silver Walking Liberty coin alone could be worth from $15 to $325 in collector value. Are the Silver Walking Liberty coins really Free: Yes. U.S. residents who beat the 2-day deadline are getting a Silver Walking Liberty coin minted between 1916-1947 free with each Vault Bag they claim. Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money the World Reserve has re-allocated Vault Bags that will be scheduled to be sent out in the next 2 days. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds the first two digits of their zip code on the Distribution List below gets to claim the bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag fee is set at $149 for residents who miss the 2-day deadline, but for those who beat the 2-day deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $ 99 for as long as they call the National Claim Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-888-282-6742.

The grants are presented as innocuous to the recipients, but in reality they open the door for the Federal Government[ via HUD and other federal agencies], to dictate changes in local zoning ordinances under the guise of fair housing.

The Hobo Railroad Station in Lincoln, NH. ous washouts on northern tracks and repairing them wasn’t financially prudent so those portions were embargoed. The State of New Hampshire purchased the Concord to Lincoln lines once the Profile Paper Company announced they would reopen the Lincoln Mill if rail service was available. The State repaired the lines but the paper mill closed for good in 1977. In 1986, Edward Clark and his wife, Brenda formed the Plymouth
and Lincoln Railroad to operate a theme park and railroad out of Lincoln. After a few years of operating the railroad in Lincoln under the Hobo Railroad name, the railroad was invited to bid on the lease for the state-owned tracks from Tilton to Plymouth. They won the bid, and the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad was formed. The new line operated between Meredith Station and Lakeport siding See railroads on 31

We splashed up the old road in the rain. The road begins and ends on private property but in the middle it passes through National Forest land. In the winter the trail is used as a snowmobile trail that continues all the way to Stinson Lake and beyond. We walked past old stonewalls proving people once lived and farmed here. The trees have grown up and have become a quiet pretty forest with a great variety of trees. When we neared the pond the rain finally

Ask The Builder Stains On Exterior Stucco Should Be Cleaned, Not Painted Over
Dennis Whitcher denniswhitcher.com 603.630.4561
by Tim Carter
Syndicated Columnist
DEAR DOUG: I realize you want to paint your stucco, but I’m going to do my best to talk you out of this. Since the stucco has never been painted, you’re transforming a maintenance-free surface to one that’s going to require periodic work. I caution you to think about this long and hard, especially when I give you a few other options that may allow you to achieve your goal. First, I’ll assume you just want the stucco to look better since you have the issue with the black stains. The photo you sent me provides an excellent clue as to one possible source of your problem, although I can’t speak about the other houses that have similar stains. You’ve got bushes and a tree that are growing close to the stucco wall. The deciduous tree could be fueling mold and mildew growth from aerosol sugars that are possibly being emitted from the leaves. The shade created by the tree is a perfect breeding ground for mold growth as it creates a tiny microclimate near the stucco that raises the humidity level. Mold and mildew need

water to flourish. The other clue you provided could be very significant. You said that the stucco has never been painted. This means the calcium carbonate that’s undoubtedly in the stucco mixture could be fueling the growth of an algae that’s plagued asphalt shingle roofs for decades. If your stucco had been painted years ago, the calcium carbonate would be covered and not readily available to the algae. Gloeocapsa magma is a very hardy algae that feeds
on calcium carbonate. The black stains you see could possibly be an accumulation of their dead, dark-colored cells. This particular algae can grow anywhere, but it really loves humid conditions. Not only does it get humid in central Ohio, but the vegetation near this wall is also adding to the humid conditions. The good news is that it’s easy to remove the black stains no matter if they’re mold, mildew or the algae. I would highly recommend See builder on 42

DEAR TIM: My house was built in 1985, and I have never painted the stucco. I plan to do it this year. I’ve noticed other houses in the same neighborhood that have a black bleed coming through the stucco and have no idea what is causing this to happen. Should I use a special type of paint or somehow prepare the surface? It always looks more obvious after it has rained. --Doug P., Dublin, Ohio

race relations are getting worse. The difference is too close to call, but the fact that it is so close is itself painful -- and perhaps a warning sign for where we are heading. Is this what so many Americans, both black and white, struggled for, over the decades and generations, to try to put the curse of racism behind us -- only to reach a point where retrogression in race relations now seems at least equally likely as progress? What went wrong? Perhaps no single factor can be blamed for all the things that went wrong. Insurgent movements of all sorts, in countries around the world, have for centuries soured in the aftermath of their own success. “The revolution betrayed” is a theme that goes back at least as far as 18th century France. The civil rights movement in 20th century America attracted many people who put everything on the line for the sake of fighting against racial oppression. But the eventual success of that movement
attracted opportunists, and even turned some idealists into opportunists. Over the generations, black leaders have ranged from noble souls to shameless charlatans. After the success of the civil rights insurgency, the latter have come into their own, gaining money, power and fame by promoting racial attitudes and actions that are counterproductive to the interests of those they lead. None of this is unique to blacks or to the United States. In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people -- and to hate those other people. This was the history of anti-Semitic movements in Eastern Europe between the two World Wars, antiIbo movements in Nigeria in the 1960s, and anti-Tamil movements that turned Sri Lanka from a peaceful nation into a scene of lethal mob violence and then decades-long civil war, both marked by unspeakable atrocities.

Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having racial or ethnic leaders. While most Americans can easily name a number of black leaders, current or past, how many can name Asian American ethnic leaders or Jewish ethnic leaders? The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country.

French Consul-General Bertrand Lortholary opined that standing alongside the Solar Impulse recalls the historic moment when the American Consul in Paris would help greet the Spirit of St. Louis and the arrival of Charles Lindbergh after his historic transatlantic flight in 1927. Viewing the arrival of the Solar Impulse the Consul added, “Dreams are not Illusions.” John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.

that you use an oxygen bleach solution to clean the black stains. Do NOT use chlorine bleach, or sodium hypochlorite, as this will kill the bushes and trees next to your home. Chlorine bleach is highly toxic to just about any vegetation. Oxygen bleach is a powder you mix with water. Once it is dissolved, you simply put it in a handpump garden sprayer and saturate the stucco. Try to work on an overcast day. Keep the stucco very wet with the solution for up to 30 minutes. Use a stiff scrub brush dipped in the solution to remove

the black stains. You can add some regular liquid dish soap to enhance the cleaning. Rinse immediately with clear water from a garden hose. To keep the stucco free of mold, mildew and algae, you can simply periodically clean it with just liquid dish soap and water. If the stains are caused by mold and mildew, this washing removes the invisible food they’re feasting on. If the stains are the black algae, then you have to introduce copper to keep the stucco looking superb. Copper is a natural biocide that will stop the growth of mold, mildew and the algae.

is you have to come up with a way to attach small copper strips to the upper parts of the walls so that each time it rains, a miniscule amount of copper washes down the wall. This will keep the stucco looking fantastic. Installing copper strips on asphalt shingle roofs is easy as you just put the strips of copper up under the last row of shingles. Putting copper on vertical stucco walls is challenging both from a functional standpoint but also a decorative one. If you decide to forgo the copper and you want a color change to the stucco, I suggest you consider
staining the stucco. Yes, you can purchase masonry penetrating stains that will soak into the stucco and impart color just like when you stain wood. The advantage of using a penetrating stain that soaks into the stucco is that over time it will not peel. If you paint your stucco, at some point the paint WILL peel. No matter if you use the stain or paint, you absolutely must get rid of the black stains before applying either product. You don’t want to trap mold, mildew or algae behind either stain or paint. Realize that some paints and stains contain food

Charlie Chaplinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Gold Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Leavitt Theatre OGUNQUIT, ME. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Silent film returns to the big screen at the historic Leavitt Fine Arts Theatre with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Gold Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (1925), a classic comedy starring the immortal Charlie Chaplin.
The screening, on Thursday, July 25 at 8 p.m. at the Leavitt, 259 Main St., Ogunquit, Me.will feature accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based composer who specializes in creating live music for silent film presentations. Admission is $10 per person. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Gold Rush,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; a landmark comedy and one of the top-grossing films of the silent era, finds Chaplinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Trampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; character journeying to the frozen wastelands of the Yukon. There as a prospector, the Trampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s search for gold turns into a pursuit of romance, with plenty of laughs along the way. The film contains several famous scenes, both comic and dramatic, including a starving Chaplin forced to eat his shoe for Thanksgiving dinner and a heart-breaking New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve celebration. Organizers of the Leavittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silent film series chose to run â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Gold
Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in July in part because its Arctic setting would provide a refreshing contrast to the New England summer heat. The Leavitt, a summer-only moviehouse which in prior seasons concentrated on firstrun features, is this summer broadening its offerings to include live music, comedy, and classic films. Rapsis, who uses original themes to improvise silent film scores, said the best silent film comedies often used visual humor to create laughter out of simple situations. Because of this, audiences continue to respond to them in the 21st century, especially if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re presented as intended â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a live auience and live music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These comedies were created to be shown on the big screen as a communal experience,â&#x20AC;? Rapsis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With an audience and live music, they still come to life as their creators intended them to. So this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screenings at the Leavitt are a great chance to experience films that first caused people to fall in love with the movies,â&#x20AC;? he said. The show is the latest installment of a series of silent film events this season at the Leavitt Theatre.
