As you are reading this it is likely that Andrew Swenson, owner of Wolfeboro Carwash and Executive Detail, isn’t tending to his business of detailing and restoring the luster to all makes of cars from modern models to the classics as well as
motorcycles and boats. What is more likely is that he is finishing up, along with 32 other highend professionals from around the country, the detailing of the original Air Force One, a flying oval office used by Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, which is on display at Seattle’s Museum

The event was significant in that local skier Dick Binette became the first skier to break the 100 foot barrier setting a record of 102 feet. While another skier recorded 103 feet the same day, the record did not stand at the time as an additional 2 feet was required in order to establish a record. The event made it into Life Magazine at the time. In 1955 Dick tied the record

The local contingent sent a team to the national championships at Lake Placid the same summer where Bill Goodhue won the Veteran’s class jumping championship. In the junior class, Dick Binette performed well and would eventually set the world distance waterski jumping record on Lake Opechee. Ms. Collen Gallant was one of the skiers and later was named Miss New Hampshire and went on to demonstrate waterskiing in the talent division of the Atlantic City beauty Pageant. Laconia hosted the national waterski championships in August of 1954 with events in slalom, trick and ski jumping.

Don’t Count On Shaheen
Zimmerman-Martin Incident
To The Editor: Who’s reading your email? NSA pressured your email provider to give them your passwords. (See CNET July 25, 2013). Don’t count on Senator Shaheen to stop this. She’s the same one who set the IRS dogs on you and your friends. This is all happening under the Patriot Act that has been bastardized by Shaheen’s cherished leader, Barack Obama. The Patriot Act expires in 2015. We can’t afford to have Shaheen vote for it’s renewal. President Bush only used the Patriot act to monitor US citizens in touch with suspected overseas terrorists and we had no repeats of 9/11. When Obama and Shaheen took control of the Patriot Act and NSA in 2009 they took direct aim at you and your family’s privacy. Since then, terrorists killed our citizens at Ft Hood, Benghazi, Boston. We lost Seal Team 6 after the Obama administration identified their role in the killing of Osama Ben Laden. Do you feel safer? Some parts of the Patriot Act are necessary, others sacrifice our freedoms and need to be repealed to stop regimes like the Democrats using it against you. Can you afford to let Shaheen vote to reauthorize in 2015? No!
To the Editor: The Zimmerman-Martin incident and aftermath is sad on many levels. Martin is dead. Facing death threats, Zimmerman lives in hiding. Both families are devastated. People “getting justice for Trayvon� create other victims. The media demonstrated its corruption. Political pressure forced an indictment when one may not have been warranted, raising questions whether any of us can be assured of getting fair treatment by the law. The usual race-baiters did their best with the help of the media and President Obama to roll back our progress to a colorblind society. People make claims without any evidence. A recent headline declares, “Would Zimmerman have picked a fight if he hadn’t been armed?� There is no evidence that that Zimmerman either confronted or started any physical interaction with Martin. Others say Martin would be alive if he were white, yet who considers race, or anything besides survival, when someone is killing us? The prosecution, the defense, and FBI investigators indicated that race was not a factor. If you spent many lonely hours trying to protect your neighbors from further harm, would the race of a suspiciously acting person change your ac-

Our Story
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
tions? No. Others say the shooting wouldn’t have happened if Zimmerman had acted differently (although he acted legally). But it wouldn’t have happened if Martin had just continued home, if Martin hadn’t been expelled from school, or maybe if Martin hadn’t been taking behavior altering substances. The police felt there was inadequate evidence to charge Zimmerman with a crime. The jury apparently agreed, even though they were denied much evidence about Martin’s character including that he had been discovered with burglar tools and stolen property. Why did the media sensationalize this incident? Why alter Zimmerman’s 911 calls? Why suppress exculpatory evidence and publish misleading photos and information about Zimmerman and Martin? Why use the term “white Hispanic� for Zimmerman who is halfwhite, just like President Obama? Was the media just trying to create a story? To fan racial hatred? To distract minorities from how much they are suffering under President Obama’s policies? To distract the public from Obama’s scandals?

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Clever Sayings
Weirs Times Editor
Now that I have finally published my new book “The Flatlander Chronicles” the real work has just begun. Sure, there was a lot of reading and rereading and changing and then finding errors and then more errors as I read the manuscript over and over. There was a lot of back and forth for the past few months with the publisher, there was the photo shoot for the front and back covers (My eternal thanks to photographer Robert Clifford for a great job) and then there was the final proof to look over hoping that every last error was caught and then just “letting it go.” It was a big relief to be done with that part of it. Now, I thought, the rest would be gravy. Now that I have actual copies on hand, I have come upon something that I wasn’t anticipating. I usually don’t find myself facing writer’s block too often, but now that I am being asked to write small sayings to people who buy the book, I am, I must admit, at a loss. Some folks know what they’d like me to write, that makes it so much easier. But when some says, “I don’t know, just write something funny” I freeze up. I’ve never been faced with the “write something funny on demand” order before. I can understand
Reverend Al, Remember, you are a Flatlander too!! This is a whole untapped market. Just kidding! Maybe?” To the new Pope: “To Pope Francis, I hope that you might find this a good book too! Keep up the good work!” I’m working on a few more so I’ll be ready, just in case. I have to admit that publishing a book has also given me delusions of grandeur. The other day, while eating a peanut butter and bacon sandwich with a warm Dr. Pepper, I began to daydream about who would play me in the movie version of “The Flatlander Chronicles.” When I first started writing these columns in 1995, I had plenty of hair and Leonard Dicaprio may have been a good choice. But now, eighteen years later, I am thinking more of someone like John Malkovich. After the strange high I got from the bacon and Dr. Pepper mixture faded, I realized that I just might have to settle for a local community stage production of the book with the lead being played by that aspiring actor who works down at the local hardware store. All in all, putting this book together and getting it published has been a great experience and I’m glad I took the plunge. And if you want a cop y, I’ ll try to write something funny. Even if it kills me! Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com. You can also follow his serial novel “The Case Of The Missing Flatlander” at www.foolinnh.com.

why people expect it. I am, after all, a self-proclaimed humorist so, in fact, people are throwing down the gauntlet. “Okay. Mr. Funny Man, make my day!!” I must admit I wasn’t prepared. Since then, I have been developing a few choice humorous lines I can write in my books when I find that big freeze coming over me. I would tell them to you here but then, well, you probably wouldn’t find them all that funny once you already know what they are. All this has taught me to be prepared. I was contemplating what would happen if “The Flatlander Chronicles” becomes very successful. What if some people more famous than me would like a signed copy. Will I be giving them, what may by then, be the same old tired lines? I’ve prepared a few clever inscriptions in case I am asked. I may not ever use them, but at least I’ll be ready. Here are a few of my ideas: Nothing would bring greater attention to my book than having it read by the president. I was thinking I would sign his with something like : “To Barack, Thanks for buying the book. Even though you paid full price, I will most likely be giving you back half of it, or more, next April. Ha Ha!!” To our own governor, I thought she might get a kick out of: “To Maggie, I know you wanted a big casino but all you got was this lousy book.” Maybe New York Yankee Alex Rodriguex will buy a copy: “To Alex, Hope this helps kill some of your down time.” To Al Sharpton: “To

BART LINDSTROM
Although The Evening Citizen, a Laconia Newspaper, forecasted that the local weekend weather would be “mostly cloudy, with fog,” and have a small percent chance of showers, heavy rain lingered over most of the state for five days. The constant rain brought severe flooding to many parts of the state. No one was killed as a direct result of the flooding. The event was declared a Major Disaster by FEMA on August 29th.
MONDAY-FRIDAY SEPT. 16TH-20TH AT THE FARM STUDIO, SANBORNTON, NH
Bart will show You how to work from photos, how to use his palette & color wheel. Bart was co-founder of the Portrait Society of America.
Democratic Standard Chaos: August 8, 1861 After hearing about an article written in a Concord Newspaper (which had Southern disposition) referring to the Union Army as “Old Abe’s Mob,” a large group of New Hampshire soldiers were outraged. In reprisal, they formed a mob, gathered outside of the newspaper’s office, and burned parts of the property. People inside of the Newspaper’s building fired upon the mob, but nobody was injured.

The plane had not been in the air for very long after taking off from Pepperell Airport (MA09). The exact cause of the crash is uncertain. The pilot has around 10 overall hours of experience in the plane, but had not flown the plane in about 2 years.
Native American Attack: August 11, 1746 About 40 Native Americans of the Penacook Tribe (indigenous of southern New Hampshire) attacked a small group of colonial military men in present-day Concord. The Native American assailants killed 5 and captured 2. The dead mens’ bodies were harshly mutilated when discovered and buried soon after.
Battle of Bennington: August 16, 1777 Although this battle actually took place in upstate New York, Major General John Stark of New Hampshire led his American troops, most of whom were untrained New Hampshire militiamen, to overwhelming victory over British General John Burgoyne’s invading army. This battle is considered by many historians to be the “turning point” of the Revolutionary War.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 8, 2013
From The State House Obamacare: The UNAffordable Health Care Act Americans in 13 states are rebelling against the Affordable Healthcare Act or what I like to call by Rep. Jane the “UNAFCormier FORDABLE Belknap District 8 HEALTHCARE ACT”. While Congress has done little to repeal this monster, the truth is, for Obamacare to take hold, state governments must agree to implement parts of this federal mandate. But, these 13 states are moving against the setting up of healthcare exchanges for Obamacare, working with Governors and state legislators to not comply with this
socialization of our health care. NH will take up the discussion of exchanges again in the fall. And this debate will be a very important one for NH. Many states (including NH) are rightfully concerned that the expansion will bankrupt state budgets. Bureaucrats tell us Federal subsidy will be there for states who participate. After a few years, states will need to take over. We are talking millions and millions of dollars here in NH. Are we now going to believe what the government says regarding the funding of this unprecedented and huge subsidy? Obamacare is already causing much higher costs in services and insurance premiums.

Vacationer Obama’s Favorite Vineyard “Vulture” It’s good to be the king ... of class warfare hypocrisy. While he lectures his political opponents about their neglect of middleby Michelle Malkin class AmerSyndicated Columnist ica, President Obama is headed to Martha’s Vineyard. Again. Because nothing spells populist like a $7.6 million, 9.5-acre estate owned by one of Chicago’s wealthiest corporate financiers. The sprawling summer manse of David Schulte is actually a downgrade from the Obama family’s previous summer digs. The $21 million, 28.5-acre Blue Heron Farm that had hosted Obama and his massive entourage since 2009 isn’t available for rental anymore because a British mogul snapped it up. But don’t be bumming. The Obamas won’t be slumming. Schulte’s Chilmark, Mass., complex boasts pond and ocean views, an infinity pool and a basketball court (natch!). Cell towers were installed around Schulte’s home to boost phone service. The Vineyard Gazette reports that the Secret Service has 70 rooms booked nearby. Homeowner Schulte deserves special attention. If this deeppocketed donor and privateequity whiz were a Republican, the Occupy hordes and left-wing super-PACs would have made him a household name by now. The SEIU already would have picketed his private residence. Cher, Bette Midler and Chris Rock would be tweeting furiously about this privileged white robber baron in all caps.
Schulte, you see, earned his money in much the same way the demonized Mitt Romney did: through corporate restructuring and rescuing debt-burdened companies. He and his former partner, Sam Zell, have happily embraced the nickname “grave dancers” since the early 1990s. By 1993, their billion-dollar “vulture fund” based in Chicago had purchased all or part of Jacor Communications, the embattled media conglomerate; Sealy Corporation, the mattress empire; and the distressed Schwinn Bicycle Company. The duo also scooped up Santa Fe Energy Resources (an oil and gas company) through a partnership and refinanced Revco D.S., the drugstore chain. Schulte called his financial playground “the land of broken dreams,” according to the Los Angeles Times, which described the partners as “bottom-fishing.” Team Obama had plenty of brutal depictions for GOP private-equity mavens during the 2012 campaign: “Looter.” “Corporate raider.” “Greedy Gekko.” “Heartless profiteer.” Liberal media outlets likened Romney’s cohorts to mobsters, strip miners and cannibals. “Bain was just like the Donner Party,” comedian Stephen Colbert snarked. “They ate the weak.” Super-PAC Priorities USA Action, run by former Obama spokesman Bill Burton, teamed with shameless campaign mouth turned CNN talker Stephanie Cutter to smear Romney’s private-equity record. They falsely accused Romney and Bain Capital of allowing laid-off steelworker Joe Soptic’s wife to die of cancer -- even though she had insurance coverage after he lost his job, Romney was no longer

Sudan’s Darfur Tragedy Amid Global Yawns UNITED NATIONS—Su-
dan’s embattled Darfur region has been cursed by the trauma of ethnic conflict and by John J. Metzler the continuSyndicated Columnist ing tragedy o f displacement, refugees and hunger. As the decade long inter-ethnic conflict continues, the region’s violence continues but in a void of being largely forgotten and forsaken by the outside world. Airbrushed from the headlines by both a myriad of other humanitarian crisis as well as the simple “donor overload” of a world community burdened by other wars, natural disasters and the undertow of endemic poverty, Darfur, once a cause celebre mobilizing international concern, has receded from the region despite the dusty graves of over 300,000 people. Now comes word from the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) that a new wave of violence in Darfur has prompted over 250,000 people to flee their villages since the start of the year. According to the Rome-based relief agency, “The decade –long conflict has escalated recently due to intertribal conflicts over agricultural land and resources, creating the largest wave of population displacement that the region has seen in recent years and straining WFP’s ability to feed vulnerable families.” The roots of Darfur’s conflict rested in a bid by Sudan’s largely Arab-Muslim dominated government to grab land from nomadic black Africans in the vast area. Indeed ethnic cleansing became part of a conflict in which both sides are Muslim. The notorious Arab Jangaweed, the camel-borne thugs carried out many of the attacks on behalf of the central government. Still the rulers in Khartoum, led by indicted war criminal Omar Bashir, were still able to fend off the worst of international sanctions. Largely due to Sudan’s major petroleum exports, and correspondingly close links with the People’s Republic of China, the regime has
weathered much of the political fallout of its actions. President Bashir faces two international arrest warrants from the Hague-based International Criminal Court for charges of genocide and war crimes stemming from the Darfur conflict. But while Darfur has faded from the headlines and humanitarian agenda, the World Food Programme has been feeding 2.7 million across Darfur in 2013, including 1.4 million living in camps. According to the relief agency, with the new displacements, the number of people needing assistance is expected to climb to nearly three million people. According to WFP’s Sudan country director Adnan Khan, “This conflict has been going on for a decade now and the escalation that we’ve seen during the first half of the year has not only created greater needs, but has also hindered our ability to reach all those in need due to insecurity.” Funding remains a perpetual problem as WFP has only raised $180 million out of its operational budget of $397 million to feed an estimated 3.9 million people in Darfur and elsewhere in Sudan. In the meantime the Security Council has renewed the mandate for the African Union/UN multinational peacekeeping force UNAMID in Darfur. An African Union diplomat conceded the “situation remains volatile.” The Council passed a ten page resolution which “Demands that all parties to the conflict in Darfur immediately end the violence including attacks on peacekeepers civilians and humanitarian personnel.” Today the 19,000 multinational UNAMID peacekeeping operation is deployed in the vast area the size of France. While mostly African staffed, troops from China, Pakistan and South Korea are part of the mission which has brought some stability to the region. Serious attention shifted from Darfur in 2011 when Sudan finally gave independence to its rebellious southern region where nearly two million people were killed in a long-running conflict between the central government and Christian and animist factions. South Sudan
became independent in July 2011 and since sadly fallen victim to its own factional and political strife. Even after the secession of
its rebellious southern region, Sudan is still more than twice the size of Texas. There is a curious silence

The Tragedy of Isolation In the 20th century, Western intellectuals’ two most dominant explanations of disparities in economic, educational and other achieveby Thomas Sowell m e n t s w e r e Syndicated Columnist innate racial differences in ability (in the early decades) and racial discrimination (in the later decades). In neither era were the intelligentsia receptive to other explanations. In each era, they were convinced that they had the answer -- and dismissed and disparaged those who offered other answers. Differences in mental test scores among different racial and ethnic groups were taken as proof of genetic differences in innate mental ability during the Progressive era in the early 20th century. Progressives regarded the fact that the average IQ test score among whites was higher than the average among blacks as conclusive proof of genetic
determinism. A closer look at mental test data, however, shows that there were not only individual blacks with higher IQs than most whites, but also whole categories of whites who scored at or below the mental test scores of blacks. Among American soldiers given mental tests during the First World War, for example, white soldiers from Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi scored lower on mental tests than black soldiers from Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Pennsylvania. Among other groups of whites, those with average mental test scores no higher than the average mental test scores among blacks included those in various isolated mountain communities in the United States, those living in the Hebrides Islands off Scotland and those in isolated canal boat communities in Britain. Looking at achievements in general, people living in geographically isolated environments around the world have long lagged behind the progress See Sowell on 40

The origin of the assertion “There’s a sucker born every minute” is disputed, but there’s no disputing the fact that it applies to today’s young adults. Call them Generation Y, Global Generation, or Net Gen, but know that they are the Sucker Generation. Government con men and Baby Boomers – who loudly profess to be looking out for their interests – are taking the kids to the cleaners. By the time enough members of Generation Y start asking “Why us?” the con game will have run its course. The greatest inter-generational theft in history will have left them indentured servants to the past, with a future circumscribed by decisions made long before they had a vote. Ironically, surveys show this generation largely supports the Progressive policies that will limit their lives. To avoid playing the part of patsy, New Hampshire’s
youth need to understand what’s being done to them and by whom. They then need to start voting from enlightened self-interest, not youthful idealism. Across the country governments at every level, in cahoots with public-sector unions, have amassed unfathomable debts in a vicious cycle of quid pro quo. In exchange for votes and financial support, they made promises to pay unionized workers wages, benefits, and retirement packages that far out-strip the ability of current taxpayers to manage. To avoid alienating those taxpayers in their bid for union support, elected representatives hid the true costs of their promises, chronically underfunding the debt obligations and pushing the day of reckoning beyond voters’ attention spans. But the free-lunch mentality is finally giving way to reality as the bills come due. Witness Detroit to see the future for us all. Detroit’s financial woes have been long in coming and are now widely reported. The city owes more in public pension and bond
obligations than it can ever hope to repay. Across decades city leaders failed to live up to their most basic municipal duties. Other cities – and some states – are not that far behind and soon their stories will make headlines. But why should the Granite State’s 20-somethings care? Because inevitably, and underhandedly, those debts will be transferred to them. In an egregious case of “taxation without representation,” New Hampshire’s young adults will pay for poor decisions made in places where they had no vote. Money that would otherwise fund their schools, their roads, their communities – or their own family’s necessities – will instead bail out municipal pensioners who will make more in retirement than they will after decades in the workforce. Their earnings will be spent to rescue residents of Detroit, Oakland, Chicago, and a dozen other cities whose budgets have been built on unsustainable borrowing. It gets worse: In addiSee gorrell on 21

From Moultonborough to Washington, DC: Sit Down and Shut Up! It has been said that serving your community is an honorable task. When asked to step forw a r d by Niel Young Advocates Columnist to seek election or become a member of a municipal board some community minded folks will do that. Public participation does not always bring out the numbers you would expect and that has worsened over the past two decades. On the other hand some of them stay way too long. So, Exhibit A visit http://moultonborospeaks.blogspot.com/ for more of the story. Here is a prime example of elected people asking a member of a non-paid Planning Board being told to resign or face a public hearing. Surprise to the Board of Selectmen, the member will see them at the hearing. I do not know any of the people on that tape, but I will tell you I am less than impressed by all of those sitting at the table! I admire the person accused of......what? Only one person at the selectmen’s table showed the least bit of interest when challenged someone to tell the man who is the target just what is the reason. NOTHING! There are some good people in every town so long as they do not get contaminated by those who sit at the same table. This spectacle is not what is known as honest and open government. Is there more we should know? I am sure we all recall in 2008 Barack Hussein Obama promising “the most transparent administration, ever!” My years as a member of the Laconia City Council –2 terms in the
‘70s and 1 term in the ‘90s were the early years of the “Right To Know” law here in NH. Good thing RTK is not required in Washington, DC. Whoa, what if some folks in Moultonborough have abused their position? From the film I watched, I must admit, something is just not right. Now, how many citizens of NH demand an honest and open government? ******** My Saturday Advocates colleague Diane Grassi: “While U.S. College Tuition Through the Roof U.S. Taxpayers Funding Afghani’s Taliban’s Schooling. This is outrageous. More of our taxes go out the back door that Americans never find out about. And then they scratch their heads and wonder why we no longer have enough military, law enforcement, fire protection and roads and bridges maintained. We are not only rebuilding entire countries, but funding our enemies.” More from Diane: “Since American made goods are becoming obsolete, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will now include intellectual property, such as TV, ad and royalty revenue from syndicated TV shows, (meaning repeat episodes) as part of the GDP. “GDP’s history dictated a measurement of manufactured factory-made material goods. So- it will now give a distorted picture to investors, credit rating agencies for America, and most of all, unknowing Americans. Gotta love Obama and his gaggle of crooks”. “And you can eliminate all bi-racial ‘Hispanics’ from the census if this guy is not considered Hispanic. It’s all racism. “Holder didn’t get that memo either. He believes that we are no longer Americans but colors of skin.”
Diane can be heard and taking questions each Saturday during Hour 4 (11Noon EST). ******** SCHEDULED last Saturday, author Nikki Goeser: “Denied A Chance, How Gun Control Helped a Stalker Murder My Husband”. To hear the interview wezs.com Hour 3 of The Advocates. This is what conservatives who will not back down and watch amoeba republicans accept defeat for our country. Another guest during the week, David Bozell of ForAmerica.org: “We are calling on all Republican Senators to join Senator Mike Lee and the 11 courageous leaders who have already signed the letter in following through on their promises. If they do not, we will work with our partners in the movement to ensure every one of their constituents know that when the time came to take a stand against a law that is strangling families and businesses, they folded. If they fund it, they own it.” My kind of group. Republican leadership(?) won’t do it, then let us get it done – with new people in Congress. Oh yes, David is Brent’s son. ******** While David was asking folks to contact Sen. Kelly Ayotte and remind her that she was opposed to Obama Care in the campaign. I reminded David that Kelly had also promised to never vote for Immigration “Reform” that included AMNESTY for those Invaders who broke into our country. Of course that was before she became a senator, and before she became one of McCain’s gang. Her promises almost equal Obama’s during his first campaign; tell them what they want to hear for their vote. I expect See advocates on 41

Navigating The Home Refinancing Process With interest rates near historic lows, now is a good time to consider refinancing your home. Refinancing a mortgage can potentially save you money over the life of a loan. Here are a few tips to help you navigate the refinancing process: * Choose a reliable and trustworthy mortgage banker. A mortgage banker is someone you should feel comfortable with, who should be frank with you about fees, flag potential issues, and help you make choices that best
fit your financial situation. But where can you find the right mortgage banker? “A quality mortgage banker will try to understand your goals and match your situation with the best possible loan, that doesn’t contain hidden fees or surprises,” says TJ Freeborn, mortgage professional at Discover Home Loans. “Mortgage bankers who are not looking out for you might sell you strictly on low interest rates or offer you a too-goodto-be-true deal without See finance on 20

asking the proper questions or evaluating your needs.” Start by doing research online with unbiased resources. Reach out to family and friends who also have refinanced or are in the process and compare research. Also, if you know a tax advisor or a real estate professional ask them about any questions or concerns. They may be able to provide new insight to help with your decision. * Do your homework on loan options. All mortgages are not created equally. It’s important to understand the components that go into determining the price of a mortgage, including points and fees, so you can accurately compare the offers. For instance, based on the situation you may choose an adjustable-rate mortgage versus a 15 year or 30 year fixed-rate loan. Make sure to evaluate your options with your mortgage banker and discuss what works best for you. * Secure your low interest rate by locking it in. Interest rates change almost daily and it’s important to talk to a mort-
gage banker about ensuring the best time to lock in your rate. If the loan process takes too long, there is a chance your approved rate may expire and therefore potentially increase. You may have the opportunity to get an extension, but often the fee for an expired rate can be costly. Make sure to lock in your interest rate to avoid closing at a higher rate. * Understand the costs and fees of refinancing. Before you jump into refinancing, make sure you understand not only the mortgage refinancing rates but the costs associated with refinancing. Closing costs generally include fees for origination, the appraisal, attorney review, lender and title, as well as insurance, taxes and escrow. Check with your mortgage banker to make sure that the closing fees are reasonable and that you are aware of all the factors that impact your refinancing cost. Refinancing may be a worthwhile savings opportunity, but make sure to consider all of the factors before concluding it’s a wise financial decision for you.

is causing fewer doctors and longer delays in appointments. This is clearly a big stakes program. And it is too big for NH to participate in. The Constitutional argument is important as well. In this distressed economy, forcing people to buy into Obamacare or be fined is putting many Americans in a difficult position. Does this sound constitutional to you? It sure doesn’t to me! We also know there are 20 tax hikes in this law. And that number can/ will change as bureaucrats continue to tinker with the law. How are we to defend against bankrupting our children and grandchildren under government-run health care? How do we work to keep our high quality health care if the system is headed for bankruptcy? The answer is we cannot. Our state officials here in NH should recognize one simple fact: States are not mere vessels of federal authority. States are not powerless. NH should take every opportunity to assert our rightful authority and resist the implementation of Obamacare. It is within our sovereign rights to do so. We must not set up the funding conduit of exchanges. Then we need to work with elected officials to repeal this monster. Above all, NH must stand firm to not carry out the Federal policy agenda of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. HHS will become a mammoth power in our government, controlling all access to our health care. The powers held by this dept. will be unsurpassed by any other governmental agency, except of course, the Internal Revenue Service. And to imagine the IRS being the “watchdog” of our healthcare is chilling. At a time when our Federal government is infested with scandal and impropriety, are we
really going to entrust it with our HEALTHCARE? I say no. NH can do better! Together we can solve the challenges of healthcare to citizens in our state. Our officials need to come together and work for free and open market policies with common sense solutions to the challenges at hand. We need to elect small government-loving officials to help solve the problems of healthcare here in NH. We can do it! After all, we ARE the “Live Free or Die” state!

tion to municipal insolvencies, costly and underfunded federal healthcare and entitlement programs will pull even more money from their future to fund obligations from the past. The generation that once rallied to “Don’t trust anyone over 30” and railed against the power of “The Man” now acts the part. While holding most of the nation’s political power and wealth they show little regard for Gen Y, except as a source of revenue. Gen Y will pay to maintain programs today
that won’t be there for them tomorrow. It’s not youthful innocence that enables the Boomers to run this scam, it is ignorance. For that, you can thank a public school system that infamously and inexcusably has been handing diplomas to functional illiterates who fail to achieve proficiency in math, history, and civics. Too many don’t understand the fundamental truths of the governmental and economic systems in which they live. They don’t know what’s being done

to them, and the people who should be passing on this knowledge have little incentive to do so – and a lot of self-interest in failing to do it. If they’re going to save their futures from a rapacious past, today’s 20-somethings need to get their heads in the game and act fast. While adopting the slogan, “Don’t trust anyone over 60!” might be extreme, the gap in generational priorities and perspectives is as great today as it was nearly 50 years ago.

Next year’s Winter Olympics will take place in Russia, where it is illegal to even speak about homosexuality around minors, much less openly display gay pride. Still, openly gay New Zealand speed skater Blake Skjellerup, has pledged to wear a rainbow pin next February in Sochi. Is Skjellerup out of line to flaunt beliefs which conflict with the laws of an Olympic host country?

“The Art of Handmade Flintlock Rifles” at League of NH Craftsmen Lecture Series
“The Art of Handmade Flintlock Rifles” with George Morrison will be hosted by the League of NH Meredith Retail Gallery on Monday, August 19th from 7-8pm. George Morrison has been making flintlock rifles for over 45 years. He currently makes custom pieces out of his home and workshop in Mason, NH. His revolutionary war period rifles are made one at time, with hand forged iron mounts, using original techniques. George is predominantly self-taught, but has also studied under two master gunsmiths.
If guns are your passion be sure to attend this lecture! Learn all about George’s craft – his pieces include prerevolutionary guns and early 1800’s New Eng-
land rifles. George says he has been very fortunate to have studied under two exceptional Masters. “I refined my stock architecture

Holderness, NH, with support from Bank of New Hampshire, announced today that the third and final Nature by Rail environmental education program of the 2013 summer season will take place at the Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, NH on Saturday, August 10th.

The one hour and twenty minute excursions will take passengers through a woodsy setting and along the banks of the winding Pemigewasset River. Utilizing the Hobo Railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passenger cars as â&#x20AC;&#x153;rolling classroomsâ&#x20AC;?, guests of all ages will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy learning about the plant life and wild life that surround them from the comfort of the Hobo Railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restored vintage coaches. As part of the August 10th Nature by Rail program, attendees will also be treated to 20-minute live animal presentations featuring â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birds of Preyâ&#x20AC;?
at the Hobo Railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choo Choo Theater at 12:30pm and 2:30pm - a live Kestrel and Screech Owl will be featured by Squam Lakes Instructors at both presentations. In addition to the popular Nature by Rail program, the Hobo Railroad offers a variety of special events and daily excursions for the general public, school groups and bus tours from May through late October, along with Dinner Trains and Fall Foliage tours. The Hobo Railroad also offers a full schedule of Santa Express Trains and operates the Polar Express in support of the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation from the Friday following Thanksgiving through the week prior to Christmas each year.

of 116 feet before retiring from the sport. Laconia hosted the world waterski championships in 1959 on Lake Opechee. The event took place in front of the point area of Opechee Park and featured competitors from all over the country. The point area of Opechee Park was filled with thousands of spectators. One of the top competitors at the time was Warren Witherell, who was a three time eastern slalom champion and former World Trick Riding champion. Waterskiing was one of the fastest growing outdoor activities through the 1950s. Waterski racing became a popular pastime on Lake Winnipesaukee and Lake Winnisquam. There were regular races every weekend with different classes based on horsepower rating. The racers would take off directly in front of the Weirs docks early in the morning on the weekends, with some of the race routes going all the way to Wolfeboro and back. The boats would race in rough water at high speed and necessitated skill and stamina for both the drivers and the skiers. There was a wide variety of ski boats including Centuries, ChrisCrafts, Checkmates, Sut-
phens, Magnums, Hydrostreams and Tahitis to name a few. Very few boats were over 20 feet in length and some were as small as 14-15 feet. There was also a 100 mile endurance race each summer. The Northland Ski Company manufactured wooden waterskis in Laconia from about 1960 until the early 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, at which time fiberglass skis manufactured by Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and other companies be-
came the skis of choice. The ski races died out in the mid 1970s possibly because of liability issues. There are still many of these old race boats still in service, though the majority have made it past their useful lifespan and ended up in landfills. You will know one of these boats when you see them by their low profile and unique style.

Ask The Builder Log Cabin Is A Nice Dream; Making It A Reality Is A Challenge
With contracts signed by Aug. 31, 2013
by Tim Carter
Syndicated Columnist
DEAR TIM: I’ve always dreamed of building a true log cabin. I’m nearing retirement and have purchased a piece of ground to fulfill this dream that has all the trees I need to make this happen. I’m really pretty handy and wonder if I can tackle this on my own. What the best advice you can offer to me to help me make my dream come true? --Scott B., Marais, Minn.
Here’s a small log cabin that looks big because of the roof DEAR SCOTT: If you pitch and generous overhangs.
were to talk to my children, they’ll readily offer up a nickname they’ve coined for me over the years. Around the Carter Casa, I’m called “Dream Crusher.” Whenever my kids told me about their dreams in the past, I tried to temper their enthusiasm with a few tidbits of reality to make them think about what they need to do to get to their goal. I’ll try the same with you. On a personal level, I like to encourage people to dream and work to fulfill them. I clearly remember being 18 years old and walking across a 240-acre piece of ground that had a stream going through it. I grew up in the city on a tiny lot 40 feet wide by 150 feet deep. I decided that day I was going to own a large piece of ground with a stream on it. I do own that piece of ground with a stream on it in New Hampshire. Here’s what you need to know about log cabins. You bet you can build one. Will it be easy? Absolutely not. Has it been done by others with limited tools and technology? You bet. I urge you to discover
what it takes to produce the gorgeous photos of log cabins you see in the magazines and books. Your brain probably has a perceived image of a gorgeous cabin with perfectly fitted logs and even chinking. What you may end up with are ill-fitting logs that beg for a professional’s touch unless you obtain the needed skills and tools to create a magnificent structure. The first thing I would do if I were you is to go online and spend lots of time at any and all log home association websites. Look for ones that have forums where you can discuss the process with others like you who want to build, or who just recently completed a log home. Immerse yourself in their stories. If you then feel that you want to go to the next level, consider enrolling in a log building school. I did a quick search on the Internet and discovered quite a few businesses that will teach you how to transform trees into a log structure. Be sure to do your due diligence, read reviews,
search the Internet for school horror stories, etc. I read one story where a student was asked to peel the bark from logs for the first three days of the class. He immediately withdrew from the class and went to a better school. Look for stories like this. Make a list of all tools and heavy equipment you’ll need to harvest, See builder on 41

of people with a wider cultural universe, regardless of the race of the people in these isolated places. When the Spaniards discovered the Canary Islands in the 15th century, they found people of a Caucasian race living at a stone age level. Many mountain communities around the world have also been isolated, especially during the centuries before modern transportation and communications. These mountain communities were often not only isolated from the outside world but also from each other, even when they were not very far apart as the crow flies, but were separated by rugged mountain terrain. As distinguished French historian Fernand Braudel put it, “Mountain life persistently lagged behind the plain.” A pattern of poverty and backwardness could be found from the Appalachian Mountains in the United States to the Rif Mountains of Morocco, the Pin-
dus Mountains of Greece and the mountains and uplands of Ceylon, Taiwan, Albania and Scotland. Cultural isolation due to geographic factors afflicts not only peoples isolated in mountains or on islands far from the nearest mainland, but also peoples isolated by deserts or in places isolated by a lack of navigable waterways -- or even by a lack of animal transport, as was the situation in the Western Hemisphere when Europeans arrived and brought horses that were unknown to the indigenous peoples. Cultural isolation can also be due to government decisions, as when the governments of 15th century China and 17th century Japan deliberately isolated their peoples from the outside world. At that time, China was the leading nation in the world. But it lost that lead during centuries of isolation. Sometimes isolation is due to a culture that re-

sists learning from other cultures. The Arab Middle East was once more advanced than Europe but, while Europe learned much from the Middle East, the Arab Middle East has not translated as many books from other languages into Arabic in a thousand years as Spain alone translates into Spanish annually. Against this background, racial and ethnic leaders around the world who promote a separate cultural “identity” are inflicting a handicap on their own people. Isolation has held back many peoples in many lands, for centuries. But such social and cultural isolation serves the interests of today’s ethnic leaders. They have every incentive to promote a breastbeating isolation. It is a sweet-tasting poison.

When Democrats do it, it’s creative capitalism. But when Republicans do it, it’s a criminal enterprise. The double standards are rich. But Obama’s coffers are richer. Democratic demagoguery means never having to say you’re sorry for throwing stones at glass houses, while vacationing in the compounds that “vulture capitalism” built.

process, cut, fit and lift the logs. Be sure that you have the resources and any needed help to do each task. Before I would do anything at all, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make sure that the trees on your land are suitable for log building. At this point youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re basing your dream on the assumption that you have the needed material for free. Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time to discover if you have ideal trees for log construction. Just about every log home Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen has logs with no bark on them. How hard is it to peel the bark from the trees on your land? Are your trees straight and long enough? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there are countless other questions about just the logs! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also spend some time investigating the building code issues with respect to log homes. Familiarize yourself with what your building inspector will require you to do. If possible, get her/him to show you everything it says about log homes in the actual code book. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have any misunderstandings once the job is underway. As crazy as this sounds, I would actually try to build a very small shed before starting on a real cabin or home. See if you really enjoy the entire process. Imagine what the challenges will be working with logs that are five times the size of what you use for the small shed. Hone your skills on the shed. Make your mistakes there! If you have the time, I would seek out at least five people who have done what you want to do. Contact them. My guess is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happy to talk with you. If they live close to you, ask them if you can stop by and visit. Talk to them and ask them all sorts of questions. The most important thing you need to do is listen. Listen well. Ask them some of these questions: Did it take longer to do than you thought it would? Was it harder to do than you anticipated? What were your biggest
advocates from 11 obstacles? What were the top three that when a candidate asks for my vote, be it for town mistakes you made?

Or, did they too welcome a distraction from Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failures and scandals? As sad as this incident is for the Martins and Zimmermans, it is equally as sad for our
country. This incident reveals the total corruption of our media, the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inappropriate influence on our justice system and their willingness to stoke racial strife for political gain. Don Ewing Meredith, NH

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There might still be some uncertainty about the decision you made. But a quick check of the facts should reassure you that you’re doing the right thing. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The tidy Taurean needs to be a little more flexible about accepting some changes to those carefully made plans. You might be pleasantly surprised by what follows. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Consider stepping away from your concentrated focus on your new project for a bit so you can get some perspective on what you’ve done and where you plan to take it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The understandably angry Crab might not want to accept the reason why someone might have tried to hurt you. But at least you’ll have an insight into why it happened. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some facts you still need to know before

leaping onto center stage. Best to move carefully at this time so that you can observe what’s happening around you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to expand your outlook by getting out and around, whether you do some longrange traveling or just explore the great things to see closer to home. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your wise counsel continues to be needed as that family situation works itself out. Meanwhile, the decisions you made on your job begin to pay off quite nicely. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your job situation brightens thanks to all your hard work. Now, spend some time repairing a personal relationship you might have neglected for too long. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Aspects favor action in the workplace. Line up your facts and show your superiors why you’re the one they’re looking for.

times in the past decade, handpicks the students of his who will go along for the job. This will be the first year Andrew has been chosen to be part of the team. “I carefully select my team because there is no room for mistakes in detailing this $100 million airplane,” said Renny. “I need people who will accept nothing short of perfection and Andrew is one of those people.” Andrew has been on other detailing missions before with others from Renny’s class. This past January he went to Union Beach, New Jersey, for the Hurricane Sandy Restoration Project where they restored the fire engines of that town that went through a lot of abuse during the days of that natural disaster. Still, the Air Force One and B-47 detailing mission is a volunteer act so all of those involved have to make their way to Seattle on their own. “I am fortunate to have some great local sponsors who are helping make this trip possible,” said Andrew “It’s people like Dave Keslar of Keslar Insurance here in Woleboro who are stepping up to the plate for me. I can’t thank him enough. Also JC signs in Wolfeboro who did the lettering on our truck & signs
and who was gracious in donating our banner to proudly hold on the wing of Air Force One.” “It is a huge honor to be selected to be a member of such a high caliber of detailers on this priceless piece of American history,” added Andrew. “The whole opportunity is still a bit surreal. I have been richly blessed by the Lord to be a part of this group under the leadership of Renny Doyle and we all are in it to raise the bar and help each other as people, the community as well as detailing in general.” During the detailing project in Seattle, Andrew will be uploading photos of the ongoing work to Wolfeboro Carwash and Executive Detail’s Facebook page for those who are interested in following the progress. We will also be doing a follow-up article right in the Weirs Times and Cocheco Times. After the trip to Seattle, Andrew isn’t about to sit back, he’ll be on the lookout for some new projects once he’s back in Wolfeboro. Right now, Andrew has one employee but he’s likely to get involved with his own project where he could utilize some of Renny Doyle’s other students. “My dream is to work on a big collection of cars,” said Andrew. “Then I could call in the guys.”
