August 6th Should Be Celebrated by Don Ewing Meredith, NH.
Tilton Police Chief, Robert Cormier, holds the Torch of Hope along with Special Olympian Daniella during the Final Leg Torch Run through California carrying the torch to the 2015 Special Olympics Summer Games in Los Angeles.
NH Police Chief Participates In The Run Of A Lifetime For Special Olympics
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Tilton Chief Of Police, Robert Cormier, has been involved with the Special Olympics for twenty-five years. Serving as the Torch Run Director for the New Hampshire State g ame s for the past eight years, he knew that as much as Spe-
cial Olympics affected him, he wanted to one day be a part of the Final Leg Run for one of the worldwide Special Olympic events. He never thought he would be picked the very first time he applied for the 2015 Summer Games in Los Angeles. “It was truly an incredible experience,”
said Cormier. “It was so heart warming not just to be part of the Final Leg but the Special Olympics as a whole.” Cormier follows in a long line of Law Enforcement officers from around the world who have helped raise over a half a billion dollars for Special Olympics since the idea first
took root in Witchita, Kansas in 1981. It was there that Kansas City Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw that some athletes in his area couldn’t afford to go to the Special Olympics so he decided to do a short run to raise funds, as well as awareness of the Games. He didn’t feel See Olympics on 31
Americans and Japanese should celebrate August 6th because American action on this date seventy years ago helped save at least 500,000 American and 6 million Japanese lives during World War II. Before the first atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, Americans were planning the invasion of Japan. The Japanese were expected to fight even more fiercely for their homeland than they fought elsewhere. Typically they fought to the death, often only about 1 percent of the soldiers were captured. Japanese women and children on Japanese controlled islands committed suicide rather than surrender. Japanese preparations for the invasion were being made. Every man and woman was being trained and armed. Fighting in Japan itself might have continued until nearly every Japanese man, woman, and youth was dead. The American military had ordered the first of multiple planned orders for 500,000 purple hearts to award to American casualties. Fighting was expected to be as fierce as at Iwo Jima where about 850 Americans died for every square mile of land captured. Our WWII enemies were developing an atomic bomb which they would not have hesitated to use on our country or our allies to conquer us and end freedom on See ewing on 20

A Smorgasbord of Ideas To The Editor: Currency devaluation, quantitative easing, is not a precondition for economic recovery; rather it is a hindrance to it. Economic success is predictable. Economic action is rational. A strong stable currency is a magnet for investment and a catalyst for expanded trade. The ingredients for growth following an economic crisis are accountability, transparency, fiscal consolidation, and equitable distribution of sacrifice. When a nation is confronted with severe economic contraction it must face the situation. It must clearly recognize the situation. It must analyze the alternatives and most importantly it must embrace the future not hold onto the past. Selection of the best available path forward needs two decisions. It requires comprehension of the economic reality which is a grasp of the available alternatives and of the costs and probable results of each. It also requires turning the crisis to political advantage. America has clearly failed to do either of those things in the most recent economic downturn. Political leaders who explain the situation clearly to their citizens will gain support for tough policies. America has had no such clear explanation of the economic downturn. There was no explanation of the cause. There was no explanation of the available choices. Instead we have been fed a steady diet of everything will be okay... the
Our Story
Big Government will care for everyone. Things are tough‌ but trust me. This fails to build the sense of urgency necessary to make the hard economic choices required. Over time we have become less and less willing to make the needed sacrifices. Trust has been eroded. The political leadership of both parties have spouted bi-partisan lies in which the media has been complicit; by both propagating and perpetuating them. America did embrace a new leader. Unfortunately that leader had no new economic ideas. He had only tired Marxist ideology. He left in place and then grew the vested interests associated with the old leadership from which he had inherited failure. It is time we start to think about that and grasp what it means for the future. The coming election will have the largest and most diverse field of candidates in modern history. There is a smorgasbord of ideas available for us to choose from. Do we choose the Greek path with Hillary and Bernie or do we select something with a higher probability of success? Moving forward we should build a foundation of integrity, fiscal responsibility, personal responsibility and life. We have a choice to make. Marc Abear Meredith, NH.

mighty has hung out a sign to show that there He makes men.� Blood is spilling for this state and, if the Old Man were still around, he would leap from his craggy watchtower and join the fight in Mason; for women, as well as men: there, He makes warriors. Most know the legend: 300 against a million. But there are new Spartans in Mason: 1400, and they will laugh at the end. Mason stands, a united wall, against a line exploding upon its borders. Against all odds this little town stands: with its letters, its bake sales, its relentless resolve——literally, against billions: the billions of foreign invaders. If the NED People win, they will take our property, rape our environment, soil our drinking waters, lay waste to our trees, character and quality of life, and—lest we ever try to forget—salt our farmlands: no jobs, no energy solutions; the pipeline will leave nothing behind on its 71-mile rampage through New Hampshire to Canada but 10% of its capacity ‌ If we lose, they will punctuate their triumph by enslaving us with bigger utility bills: 10% and higher rates—a bitter bowl of gruel when there are far better alternatives. There are many other New Hampshire towns in the path of the NED pipeline, all with hearty souls; but I am glad that Mason stands at the front, defending our state, for none fight like Mason.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 13, 2015
F O O L NEW HAMPSHIRE *A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
The Flatlander Fair
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
“Come One! Come All! Whaddya Waiting For?â€? Yes, it’s time for the sixteenth annual Flatlander Fair next weekend at the Brautonboroughton Fairgrounds, just off of Rte 416G. Resident Flatlanders, Visiting Flatlanders and natives alike are invited to attend what has become the number one, in fact the only, Flatlander Fair in New Hampshire. Whether or not you are a non-native resident looking for a taste from the old country, a temporary guest just a little homesick, or a native who is still trying to figure out exactly what Flatlanders are all about, this is an event that is not to be missed. Just as visiting Flatlanders themselves like to attend traditional country fairs so they can, for just a day, get a taste for country living, so to can the hardcore native come to the Flatlander Fair and get a taste, for just a day, for what it’s like to live in the city and suburbs‌ without having to actually go there. Gates will open at noon, so we can sleep in a bit, and the Fair will go on till eleven on Saturday (Why not? We don’t have to be there until Noon the next day) and 5pm on Sunday. Some old favorites as well as some new, exciting attractions will highlight this year’s Flatlander Fair.
Back by popular demand is “Paulie The Clown� who will thrill both young, old and middle-aged with his extraordinary balloon figures. Dressed in a pinstripe suit, Bruno Magli shoes and sunglasses, Paulie will create a wide variety of balloon figures from the simple Nathan Hot Dog to a complex array of hundreds of balloons recreating a traffic Jam on the Long Island Expressway. It is something you won’t want to miss. (Of course, children will not be allowed to sit on Paulie’s lap so as not to mess up his suit.) Other events during the day will include a New York Style Potato Salad eating contest, an obstacle course where participants will try to maneuver six blocks of a makeshift city street during lunch hour and the ever popular subway rider herding competition where actual subway workers from big cities around the country will show their prowess in stuffing a subway car full of commuters during a simulated rush hour. All those attending the fair are encouraged to participate as herdees. (The fair organizers take no responsibility for the loss of any personal items that are discovered after the event is over.) There will also be a giant craft and goods fair both days with over 250 exhibitors selling, at ridiculously low prices, knock-offs of famous designer brand pocketbooks, sunglasses and other cheaply made goods. Did you say food? Of course, there will be food. Lots of it including: Brooklyn bagels, slices of pizza on waxed paper, crumb cake, black and white cookies and potato knishes. If you are a visiting city dweller you will feel right at home as you wait in long lines after picking a
number. If you are lucky, there will still be some of these great food items left when you finally get to the front of the line. Of course, there will be great things for the kids. Stickball, stoopball, catch-a-fly-is-up and ringalivio tournaments will be held on hard cement surfaces surrounding makeshift apartment buildings. It’s really fun for the whole family‌and no crying allowed. On Saturday night, step back in time as you take a seat on the hood of any one of dozens of parked cars that will be surrounding the giant leaf bonfire. If you are a native of the suburbs, it will take you back to those summer days when your old man broke his back raking the leaves on the 1/24th of an acre lawn he was so proud of into a pile and then lighting it on fire while you watched from the hood of his Oldsmobile, If you are a New Hampshire native, you’ll just be confused. The Flatlander Fair will stop abruptly at 5pm on Sunday evening. Everyone will be hurried from the premises whether they like it or not and no backtalk will be tolerated from anyone, anywhere at any time. You don’t like it? Tough. Admission to the Flatlander fair is $20 each day, Seniors and students are $20 and children under 12 are only $20. Parking is free but a nice tip to the attendant will help make sure nothing unfortunate happens to your car. No coolers will be allowed as we want you to buy our stuff, we aren’t here for our health!! So mark your calendars for next weekend and join us for The Flatlander Fair.

Obama Cronyism + Your Personal Data = Trouble It’s the most far-reaching scandal in Washington that no one wants to talk about: Tens of millions of federal employees had their perby Michelle Malkin sonal informaSyndicated Columnist tion hacked as a result of Obama administration incompetence and political favoritism. Ethnic community organizerturned-Office of Personnel Management head Katherine Archuleta recklessly eschewed basic cybersecurity in favor of politically correct “diversity” initiatives during her disastrous crony tenure. This Beltway business-as-usual created an irresistible opportunity for hackers to reach out and grab massive amounts of sensitive data -- compromising everyone from rank-and-file government employees to CIA spies. Could it get worse? You betcha. Amid increasing concerns about these massive government computer breaches, the Defense Department is expected to announce the winner of a lucrative highstakes contract to overhaul the military’s electronic health records system this week. The leading finalist among three top contenders is Epic Systems, a Wisconsin-based health care software company founded and led by top Obama billionaire donor Judy Faulkner. Thanks in significant part to President Obama’s $19 billion stimulus subsidy program for health data vendors, Epic is now the dominant EMR player in the U.S. health IT market. According to Becker’s Hospital Review, CVS Caremark’s retail clinic chain, MinuteClinic, is now adopting Epic’s system, and “when
the transition is complete, about 51 percent of Americans will have an Epic record.” Other major clients include Kaiser Permanente of Oakland, Calif., Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore, Arlington-based Texas Health Resources, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, and Duke University Health System in Raleigh, N.C. As I’ve reported previously, Epic employees donated nearly $1 million to political parties and candidates between 1995 and 2012 -- 82 percent of it to Democrats. The company’s top 10 PAC recipients are all Democratic or leftwing outfits, from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (nearly $230,000) to the DNC Services Corporation (nearly $175,000) and the America’s Families First Action Fund Democratic super-PAC ($150,000). Faulkner received a plum appointment to a federal health IT policy panel in 2011. Brandon Glenn of Medical Economics noted that “it’s not a coincidence” that Epic’s sales “have been skyrocketing in recent years, up to $1.2 billion in 2011, double what they were four years prior.” Stunningly, Epic “has the edge” on the gargantuan Pentagon medical records contract, The Washington Post reported on Monday. This favored status comes despite myriad complaints about the interoperability, usability and security of Epic’s closed-end proprietary software. Just last week, the UCLA Health system run by Epic suffered a cyber attack affecting up to 4.5 million personal and medical records, including Social Security numbers, Medicare and health plan identifiers, birthdays, and physical addresses. The university’s CareConnect system spans four hospitals and 150 of-

I recently saw a post on Facebook which really made me think. All the furor about Donald Trump has been very by Jane Cormier interesting. As a disgruntled, Hooksett, NH. ex-Republican, I really liked what Trump was bringing to the debate. His “take no prisoners” style of communication was rather amusing – at first. I am concerned, however, that we may be missing the point. Are we supporting The Donald just because we are angry at the GOP or the political system in general? (Being one of those people, I fully understand this.) But, is Donald Trump really a serious contender for the most powerful seat in the world? Discussing this issue with folks has been eye opening. My earlier interest with Trump has certainly waned. And, I find it somewhat alarming that so many people are willing to emSee malkin on 42 brace this man as a Republican
Presidential candidate just on the same talking points he espouses. Most of you who read my column understand I am an unapologetic Conservative. I believe our Constitution IS the law of the land and once we move from this position, our Republic is put in danger. We have watched the most divisive president ever, use his bully pulpit seat to strike division between the American people. We are divided on race, gender, marriage, life, economic, and religious beliefs. Our current president tells us America is better because of him. I believe the opposite is true. Now, back to the Facebook posting I talked about. This post had statements about sociopaths. (It also had a picture of our president in the meme.) It stated: Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt, or remorse. Sociopaths invent See cormier on 42

UN Predicts Likely Global Economic Downshift for 2013 UNITED NATIONS—The global economy risks sliding back into recession. That’s the sober assessby John J. Metzler ment from the Syndicated Columnist UN’s World Economic Situation and Prospects 2013, which cites weak economic growth in 2012, and an anemic expected expansion over the next two years. And while economic woes in the United States, Europe and Japan have slowed global growth, once-seemingly supercharged economies such as China, India and Brazil are shifting into lower gear too. “Weakness in the major developed economies are at the root of the global economic slowdown,” the report asserts, economies in “Europe are trapped in a vicious cycle of high unemployment, financial sector fragility, heightened sovereign risks, fiscal austerity and low growth.” The report warns, “The U.S. economy slowed significantly during 2012.” The worldwide ramifications
are clear; “The economic woes in Europe, Japan and the United States are spilling over to developing countries through weaker demand for their exports.” With several European countries in recession, slower growth in Germany, and with France’s economy “stagnating,” GDP growth in the Euro area is expected to reach a feeble 0.3 percent in 2013. “The United States economy weakened notably during 2012, and growth prospects for 2013 and 2014 remain sluggish,” the report concedes. Growth is expected to “decelerate to 1.7 percent in 2013 from an already anemic pace of 2.1 percent in 2012.” In Japan the situation has been equally dismal with 2013 growth projected at 0.6 percent in 2013, down from 1.5 percent in 2012, that figure largely due to the reconstruction efforts in the wake of the devastating 2011 earthquake. Given these sobering realities, there is no wonder that the export dependent high growth economies would suffer. “China and India have shifted into lower gear” the report assets
Over the past two years China growth slipped from 10.4 percent in 2010 to an estimated 7.7 percent in 2012. India fell from 9.6 to 5.5 percent in the same period. A “hard landing” is predicted for these developing economies. East Asia overall however still
remains a bright point with overall GDP growth expected to rise in 2013 to 6.2 percent over 5.8 per cent last year. Equally Russia saw robust growth given high gas and petroleum prices. Surprisingly Latin America which has been rising on an See Metzler on 20
The Fact-Free Left: Part II There is no way to know what is going on in someone else’s mind. But sometimes their behavior tells you more than their words. The politiby Thomas Sowell Syndicated Columnist cal left’s great claim to authenticity and honor is that what they advocate is for the benefit of the less fortunate. But how could we test that? T.S. Eliot once said, “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.” This suggests that one way to find out if those who claim to be trying to help the less fortunate are for real is to see if they are satisfied to simply advocate a given policy, and see it through to being imposed -- without also testing empirically whether the policy is accomplishing what it set out to do. The first two steps are enough to let advocates feel important and righteous. Whether you really care about what happens to the supposed beneficiaries of the policy is indicated by whether you bother to check out the empirical evidence afterwards. Many, if not most, people who are zealous advocates of minimum wage laws, for example, never check to see if these laws do more good by raising some workers’ wages than harm by preventing
many young and inexperienced workers from finding jobs. One of my own pieces of good fortune, when I left home at age 17, was that the unemployment rate for black 17-year-old males was in single digits that year -for the last time. The minimum wage law was ten years old, and the wage specified in that law was now so low that it was irrelevant, after years of inflation. It was the same as if there were no minimum wage law. Liberals, of course, wanted the minimum wage raised, to keep up with inflation. The result was that, ten years later, the unemployment rate for black 17-yearold males was 27.5 percent -- and it has never been less than 20 percent in all the years since then. As the minimum wage kept getting raised, so did the unemployment rate for black 17-year-old males. In 1971 it was 33.4 percent -- and it has never been under 30 percent since then. It has often been over 40 percent and, occasionally, over 50 percent. But people who advocate minimum wage laws seldom show any interest in the actual consequences of such laws, which include many idle young males on the streets, which does no good for them or for their communities. Advocates talk about people who make minimum wages as if they are a permanent class of people. In reality, most are young inexperienced workers, and no one stays young permanently. But they can stay inexperienced for a very long time, damaging their prospects of getting a job and increasing their chances of getting into trouble, hanging out with other idle and See Sowell on 42

Our state is facing growing heroin and prescription opioid abuse epidemics, and some New Hampshire families will live with its effects for the rest of their lives. The Griffins from Newton are one of these families. Their daughter Courtney was just twenty years old when she overdosed and lost her life. She was bright and inquisitive – before her struggle with addiction took her future away. Tragically, the Griffins aren’t alone. In 2014, there were over 300 fatal drug-related overdoses in our state – nearly 250 involving heroin or the synthetic painkiller fentanyl. New Hampshire ranks among the worst in the

nation for teen drug use, and it is estimated that drug addiction costs the Granite State more than $2 billion annually in lost productivity, treatment, and jail time. While local and state partners are driving many solutions to address this epidemic, there are also roles for the federal government to play. In the Senate, I’m working across party lines to address this crisis in three key areas: making sure first responders have the tools they need, improving prevention and treatment, and boosting antidrug trafficking efforts. Overdose deaths are expected to be even higher this year than 2014’s record-breaking number. On a ride along with the Manchester Fire Department last summer, I witnessed first responders administering the opioid overdose reversal drug Naloxone to bring a man back to life. I also saw his infant child in the corner of the room, her future dependent on him. Working with Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), I’ve helped introduce the Opioid Overdose Reduction Act, legislation to empower properly trained first responders, health professionals, and family members to administer naloxone in emergency overdose situations. This bill will help address liability concerns that may make some hesitant to administer the life-saving drug. We also need a heavy focus on prevention. Addiction to prescription pain medications are often a gateway to heroin use – approximately four out of every five new heroin users previously abused non-medical prescription painkillers. A bill I introduced with Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN)
would reauthorize prescription drug monitoring programs and call for a public awareness campaign focusing on the links between prescription opioid abuse and heroin addiction. I’m encouraged that the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) has already made it a priority to identify best practices for physicians prescribing opioids, as Senator Donnelly and I called for in our legislation. To further highlight this issue, I have also asked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to evaluate the role that methadone prescriptions for pain management may play in overdose deaths. Another component of prevention is safely disposing of unused or unneeded medications. In response to a letter I cosigned with a bipartisan group of colleagues, the Drug Enforcement Agency recently agreed to reinstate its successful National Drug Take-Back Day program, providing a convenient way to remove medications from the home. Our response to this crisis must also consider the real human cost of addiction and recovery. I helped introduce the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, which would launch an evidence-based opioid and heroin treatment and interventions program. While there are medications that can help treat addiction, there is an urgent need to expand treatment best practices across our nation. Because we can’t arrest our way out of this problem, this bill would also dedicate resources to treating incarcerated individuals See ayotte on 44

What Should You Know About Establishing a Trust? You don’t have to be a CEO or multimillionaire to benefit from a trust. In fact, many people gain advantages from establishing one – so it may be useful to learn something about this common estate-planning tool. Why would you want a trust? For one thing, if you have highly specific wishes on how and when you want your estate to be distributed among your heirs, then a trust could be appropriate. Also, you might be interested in setting up a trust if you’d like to avoid the sometimes time-consuming, usually expensive and always public process of probate. Some types of trusts may also help protect your estate from lawsuits and creditors. Currently, only a small percentage of Americans will be subject to estate taxes, but estate tax laws are often in flux, so things may be different in the future – and a properly designed trust could help minimize these taxes. If you decide that a trust might be right for you, you should work with an experienced estate-planning attorney. Trusts can be highly effective estate-planning vehicles, but they can also be complex and varied – so you’ll want to make sure you understand what’s involved. One important decision will be to choose a trustee. The trustee is legally bound to manage the trust’s assets in the best interests of your beneficiaries, so your choice of trustee is extremely important. Your first impulse might be to select a family member, but before doing so, consider asking these questions: t %PFT IF PS TIF IBWF UIF FYQFSJFODF BOE LOPXMFEHF UP NBOBHF your financial affairs competently? t 8IFO DBMMFE VQPO UP NBLF B EFDJTJPO UIBU NBZ BČFDU PUIFS GBNJMZ
members, will your prospective trustee act in a fair and unbiased manner? t 8JMM OBNJOH B GBNJMZ NFNCFS BT USVTUFF DSFBUF B TUSBJO XJUIJO UIF family? t %PFT ZPVS QSPTQFDUJWF USVTUFF IBWF FOPVHI UJNF UP NBOBHF ZPVS USVTU %PFT IF PS TIF FWFO XBOU UIJT SFTQPOTJCJMJUZ t %P ZPV IBWF PUIFS GBNJMZ NFNCFST XIP BSF XJMMJOH UP TFSWF BT trustee if your chosen trustee cannot do so? This last question leads to another key aspect of establishing a trust – specifically, you can name a “co-trustee” to help manage the trust, and also a “successor trustee” who can take over if the person named initially fails or refuses to act in the capacity of trustee. Again, you will want to put considerable thought into whom you ask to take these roles. And you don’t have to stick with individuals, either — you can decide to ask a financial institution to serve as trustee. By hiring such an institution, you will gain its objectivity and expertise, but you still need to ask many questions about costs, services provided, and so on. Finally, as you develop your plans for a trust, consider communicating your wishes and ideas to your family and anyone else who may be beneficiaries of your estate. When family members don’t know what to expect, disappointment and frustration can follow. If you know your loved ones are on board with your estate plans, you may feel even more comfortable in putting these plans in place.

$ Karin Behrens-Bouvier, an Exeter financial advisor for the financial-services firm Edward Jones, recently met with legislators in Washington, D.C., to seek retirement savings incentives for individual investors. This is the 30th year for this effort – making it one of the longest-running nationwide grassroots outreach efforts to Congress in existence. Behrens-Bouvier was one of 53 financial advisors chosen from among the firm’s more than 13,000 who traveled to Washington, D.C., on behalf of individual investors.

Edward Jones is the only large financial-services firm in the nation to organize this kind of grassroots effort. The financial advisors carry significant weight with legislators because they speak for the needs and concerns of nearly 7 mil-
lion clients. While meeting with legislators, Behrens-Bouvier discussed how the Edward Jones Grassroots Task Force supports saving and investing incentives that encourage people to save for their retirement and other long-term financial goals. “We appreciate the opportunity to communicate the concerns of individual investors, especially those here in Exeter, and make sure they are heard on Capitol Hill,” BehrensBouvier said.

— OFF THE SHELF — Nice To See You Again by Debby Montague Book Reviewer
The Way Of Sorrows (Part Three of the Angelus Trilogy), Jon Steele, Blue Rider Press, August, 2015 “There are no goodbyes in the universe, only nice to see you again.” – Karoline from Tampere, Angel City “We’re flying into our last battle on the back of myths and legends, but it’s all we’ve got.” – Krinkle the roadie, The Way Of Sorrows. It certainly is nice to see Jay Harper and Katherine Taylor again. At the end of Angel City I was pretty sure that I’d meet up again with Harper and probably with Katherine but I wasn’t certain. Real life is full of uncertainties try as we might to assure ourselves that the car will start, our computer will access the internet, and our 401K plan won’t be blasted to smithereens in the next financial crisis. In that other world, the fictional life, anything might have happened between the end of Jon Steele’s Angel City and the moment I opened The Way Of Sorrows. The Way of Sorrows, part three of Jon Steel’s Angelus Trilogy, picks up where Angel City left off, and I felt as if I’d been flash frozen sitting on my deck with the final words of Angel City before my eyes only to come back to consciousness with The Way Of Sorrows in my hands. Chaos rules at the end of Angel City the second installment of The Angelus Trilogy and the turmoil continues in The Way Of Sorrows. In part three of the trilogy the monumental battle of good over evil with Harper at the head of the column
of good guys takes place on a global level. Krinkle the roadie is at the wheels of the magic bus (key The Who) for much of the journey. Harper is in Portland, Oregon looking for Katherine one minute, the next he’s back in Lausanne, Switzerland at the cathedral and then he’s off to nowtimes and beforetimes in Jerusalem. While Harper and Krin-
kle search for Katherine and Max before they and the world run out of time, Katherine, no slouch in the bravery department, takes matters into her own hands as much as possible. The goal for both Harper and Katherine is to find Max and keep him safe so that he can realize the long prophesied future. Steele’s writin g can make you believe anything – angels among us, epic battles between good and evil, time-slipping, flying busses. Once I opened the book and started reading I believed all that, and if it niggled at the back of my mind that all of that good, evil angel stuff was crazy, it didn’t matter. I was in the book and I believed everything. I believed that angels walk among us and maybe if we think about it we’ll recognize
them. I know that evil lurks and that we need to be on guard. I believed that the forces of evil were trying to stop Harper and all the other good guys, angels and our kind, from protecting the light and keeping it glowing. I believed that the apocalypse could be just around the corner. I even believed in flying busses when I read Steele’s words. I wrote once that Jay Harper is one of my literary heroes along with Rex Stout’s Archie Goodwin and James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle. The fact is that Harper has a lot of the detective and a lot of the soldier in him along with his other heroic traits. Harper can be fearless and fearsome yet he is also a sympathetic and a vulnerable hero. He’s a perfect hero for a thriller and a mystery and a fantasy which is what The Way Of Sorrows is – three kinds of stories all wrapped up in one perfect package complete with handsome stalwart hero, courageous determined heroine, and a supporting cast of characters from and for the ages. Maybe The Way of Sorrows and all of The Angelus Trilogy is a perfect read for a middle-aged mystery buff looking for a little light in a crazy world that looks darker every day. Maybe Jon Steele, former TV news cameraman who spent years working in the Middle East and other hot spots in the world, is the perfect creator of a world that touches Armageddon. You’ll have to judge for yourself, but for me I believe. And I’d like to believe that Steele’s Jay Harper will be back someday in another perfect read, perhaps not as Jay Harper, but the essence of that character. Cheers to you, Jay Harper. It will be nice to see you again however you may return.

our first anniversary,� said Graham Combes, owner and brewer. “That whole first year was such a labor of love, I felt I had to commemorate it in some way.� While the craft beer world has no shortage of fun and interesting beer names, up to this point Combes has named all his beers by their style. From the Citra IPA to his Farmhouse Ale, there’s no guess work on the type of beer. The labor of love series, however, may have beer lovers guessing. The first one was called “Philoxenia� which was a pale ale with an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 5.5 percent. “I can’t pronounce it but I really like it,� stated one happy Lone Wolfe customer. Philoxenia is the love of strangers. It comes from “philos� meaning friend and “xenos� meaning stranger, it is friendliness shown to strangers. “This was a popular beer,� added Combes. “I’ll be brewing this one again.� On tap now is Agape, a session IPA with an ABV of just 5 percent. Agape means love of everything or selfless, universal love. The next beer in the love series will be Amaranthine or everlasting love.
This one will be a strong Belgian golden beer infused with amaranth flower. “This is Jen’s favorite style beer,� said Combes, speaking about his wife. “I’m planning on a late August release to coincide with our wedding anniversary.� When speaking of love, one may think of Eros, one of the four words in Ancient Greek that can be translated into the English word love. Eros, or romantic love, will be a bright red Braggot. “It’s sort of a cross between an ale and a mead,� explained Combes. Like mead, a Braggot is made with honey. Eros will be brewed with a German Red X Malt as a base giving the beer a bright red color. This style is mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales dating back to the 1300’s. While an old style, this one will pack a punch with an ABV around 10 or 10.5 percent. The last beer in the labor of love series will be the Philautia, meaning self-love. The ancient Greeks believed that when philautia was practiced appropriately (in a healthy, balanced and non-narcisisstic way) it provided the foundation See wolfe on 44

Betty by Niel Young Advocates Columnist and I had watched the full time for the first “debate�, and had enough by 10:20 of those far superior candidates, tee hee, tee hee! Blogger Dick Morris: “In its GOP primary debate coverage, Fox News’ recent desire to be accepted into the fraternity of leftist leaning journalists was on full display. Having built its audience by being fair to conservatives, its anchors now seek to pivot to the left in order to satisfy their professional peers. “It is very revelatory that CNN praised Fox News for its handling of the debate.� I had witnessed enough of the “Top Tier� at 10:20. There is one person who really p’d me off; Megan Kelley! Silly little full of herself looking for that headline praising her for tough questions. She and Fox should be FIRED. The best candidate for the day was Carly Fiorina. Another Bush is unacceptable. Back to Carly. She looks presidential; the “Iron Lady� comes to mind. The first female prime minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher was a controversial figurehead of conservative ideology during her time in office. www.biography.com/ people/margaret-thatcher-9504796 : Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s Conservative Party leader and in 1979 was elected prime minister, the first woman to hold the position. During her three terms, she cut social
welfare programs, reduced trade union power and privatized certain industries. Thatcher resigned in 1991 due to unpopular policy and power struggles in her party. “Having consulted widely among colleagues, I have concluded that the unity of the Party and the prospects of victory in a General Election would be better served if I stood down to enable Cabinet colleagues to enter the ballot for the leadership. I should like to thank all those in Cabinet and outside who have given me such dedicated support.� Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Her speech against communism earned her the name “The Iron Lady.� Leading Britain through a war and out of a recession, she left a huge mark on politics. “We have to learn again to be one nation, or one day we shall be no nation.� “And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no governments can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.� “There is no such thing as an entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.� “To me consensus seems to be —the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies in search of something in which no-one believes, but to which no-one objects. —the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.

CARE FOR THE LAWN YOUR NEIGHBORS ENVY! by Steve White Contributing Writer
There…I said it. Veteran backyard birders do not need a calendar to know the time of year. We do not need to watch the media outlets to understand that a season of change is rapidly approaching. Back to school ads have been around for weeks, much to the chagrin of children everywhere. If you are spending your relaxing time watching your birds in the trees and bushes, you should be noticing all the signs that wild birds are showing you. Are the mourning doves gathering in the early daylight hours in larger numbers? Have starlings, grackles or blackbirds, once again, taken over your bird feeders? Are the woodpeckers showing up in greater numbers along with the nuthatches, titmice and chickadees? Are the goldfinches back with a vengeance and do they appear to be duller in color than ever before? How about those blue jays? Have you seen so many blue jays gathering in large flocks since springtime? Each of these wild bird species are exhibiting very visible signs that change is coming. During the hot months, if you start to see these flocks increasing in numbers, then the end of summer is approaching and autumn is just around the corner. During the nesting seasons, wild birds break-off from the large spring flocks to establish predetermined breeding territories. The late spring/early summer time frames are dedicated to nest building, egg laying
American Goldfinch and fledgling stages. Once these important events are completed, the birds will start to gather again, species specific, for the fall season. It is during the upcoming cool season that birds begin to “beef up”. Increasing each species fat intake is a daily task. More eyes protect the flocks from predators above and below as they gorge on wild seeds. When the winter season arrives, birds will have already established their second annual territory. Birds establish two very distinct territories each year. Spring territories provide nesting birds the comfort zone necessary to protect the young from
competing wild bird species. Fall territories are needed to affix areas for food and shelter. Watch and listen to your backyard birds…they are telling you something very important. Change is coming. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls” with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM.

earth. Fortunately the United States beat our enemies in creating and using the atomic bomb to quickly end WWII. As a result of dropping the atomic bombs on Japan, at least one million American sons, brothers, and fathers returned home alive and uninjured.
The quick Japanese surrender saved many millions of Japanese lives, prevented the utter destruction of Japan, and perhaps the very existence of the Japanese culture. Although far deadlier bombs than those used in WWII have been developed, the horror that those WWII bombs dem-
onstrated has kept the civilized world from their use. We should remember and celebrate August 6 as the first of the two events that saved so many lives, saved a culture, and taught the world the horror of the use of such weapons.

by the Great Recession 2008-2009.” In the U.S., the document adds that while high unemployment rates have eased slightly, “the labor participation rate is at a record low.” In other words given that so many millions have dropped out of the job market, the overall numbers appear better. Despite the near theatrical ending of the American “fiscal cliff” crisis, there’s little short to medium term confidence in business circles. Government debt resulting from a plethora of entitlement programs and mandates grows exponentially while incentives for economic expansion flounder in a maze of uncertainty regarding future fiscal and regulatory policies. Though many Americans will flippantly smirk at the cost of West European social welfare programs, the reality emerges that the USA has entered precisely the same path of massive entitlements without the capacity to sustain them, except for deeper unsustainable debt. Congressional spending cuts have become a predictable joke; in the “fiscal cliff deal” for every $46 in new taxes, one dollar of spending is trimmed! The Administration seeks ever more creative ways to cut slices from the national wealth as to fund government programs. Yet the size of the economic pie has shrunk and there is simply less to go round. It seems to me that encouraging business to bake a bigger pie; creating more incentives, more investment, thus more jobs, and a larger economy, would result in a bigger pie which would serve the needs of the nation. Britain’s Margaret Thatcher knew the recipe, so did Ronald Reagan.

DEAR TIM: Money is pretty tight and I need a new roof. I’ve watched a few videos on YouTube and believe I can handle the job. My old shingles need to come off and I’m working alone. How do I ensure no water will leak into my home since I can’t get all the shingles off the roof in one day? There has to be a way I can keep my house dry. What are the other major obstacles I’ll be facing? I have a simple ranch home with only one plumbing vent pipe sticking through the roof. --Cleora O., Oakdale, Conn.

work from the lower edge of the roof up to the top of the ridge when working solo. You may decide to only work a section of the roof about 12 feet wide. If you put up finished waterproof membrane or some other underlayment on a lower portion of the roof and then still have to strip shingles
above it the next day, the old shingles and nails can damage the products youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve installed as they slide down the roof. If you decide to work in sections like this, you should slide the new waterproof membrane or other underlayment under the existing shingles to prevent leaks if rain is in the forecast. You just need to slide it under the
shingles about 4 inches. Avoid the temptation or advice of neighbors to use a giant tarp to keep your house dry as you work. If it gets windy and you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t secured it properly, it will become a giant sail. If the wind can get under a small part of the tarp and gain purchase, the wind can peel the tarp off your roof like it was a ripe tangerine.

I think one of the biggest obstacles youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face is how much physical labor you can endure. Roofing work is hard. Carrying shingles up a ladder is not easy. You have to figure out how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to install the first rows of shingles down at the bottom edge of the roof. If the roof slope is shallow, you can do this backwards facing towards the ground, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as easy as you might think. Working from scaffolding is safer, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d need to rent it and all the needed platforms so you can stand up in the air at the bottom edge of your roof. Stripping off the old shingles may not be as easy as you think. Be sure you buy a special roofing spade designed to remove asphalt shingles. It has serrated teeth on its lower edge to help remove roofing nails. It also has a V-shaped piece of metal welded to the back of the spade to increase the leverage as you pop shingles from the roof. This tool will minimize frustration and save you hours of labor. Be sure you purchase the best plumbing vent flashing. Flashings need to last as long or longer
T H E
than the roofing material. The common plumbing vent flashings most use can fail in as little as 10 years. I prefer to use the flashings from LifetimeTool.com. I taped a video you can watch showing exactly how to install one of these plumbing vent flashings. This video explains the relationship between flashings and shingles and shows you stepby-step how to lace the shingles into and around the flashing. Go here to watch the video:http:// go.askthebuilder.com/ flashingvideo In spite of what I said about the general quality of videos on YouTube, you can trust mine! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve installed lots of flashings over the decades and none have leaked! Need an answer? All of Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past columns are archived for free at www. AsktheBuilder.com.

My hiking golf gal friends are steadily checking off peaks on their New Hampshire 4,000-Footer List and now they are down to just 9 mountains left to complete the list. Our most recent adventure was up Mount Madison and Mount Adams. We enjoyed comfortable hiking conditions as we hiked up Airline from Appalachia on Route 2 in Randolph and as soon as we reached treeline the wind hit us hard. The plan was to hit Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit first but the high wind and the summit was just barely in the clouds made us detour to Madison Hut to decide what to do. Madisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit was clear so we worked our way up the rocky summit cone and back down with some difficulty. The wind was steady 30+ mph with gusts as high as 50 mph (winds that hard make it difficult to stand let alone hike). I checked the Mount Washington Observatoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s records and confirmed the wind speed. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger on the summit, only long enough to take in the grand vista. We pointed out all the peaks on the nearby Carter-Wildcat ridge that we See patenaude on 27

hiked earlier this summer. Luckily by mid-day the winds had not increased, perhaps the wind slightly tamed and the clouds blocking the top of Adams had moved on. We made the push for the Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summit along with some Boy Scouts and two men from Massachusetts (they had an exciting time being lost in the bottom of King
Ravine before making their way to the Airline Trail). The strong wind was cold and we all put on our jackets. On our return we took a nice long break in the hut before we danced and stumbled down the Valley Way Trail. My friends reported that the day seemed much longer than the ten hours that our adventure took. Wind is very taxing and makes taking a step
difficult yet alone the many steps it takes to climb a mountain. The effort was rewarding and I know we all had fun because there was much talk of making another hike soon. I had the chance to go rock climbing with my husband Charlie and our neighbors Barb and Steve. New Hampshire is a hot bed of activity for rock climbing. North Conwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Cathedral and White Horse Ledges, Rumney and Cannon Cliff are where many famous mountaineers learned and practiced their trade. Thousands of climbers visit these popular climbing areas every season. Happily locals know where to go to avoid
the crowds. We rode our mountain bicycles from Zealand Road, across from the parking area for the Sugarloafs, up the snowmobile trail/old logging road to Mount Oscar’s ledges—Mount Oscar, a.k.a. Bretton Woods’ West Mountain. The mountain
biking is excellent and there are dramatic views of the Zealand Valley and the Sugarloaf’s cliffs. We climbed all morning. I am the least talented and knowledgeable by far and I am thankful that Barb, Steve and Charlie take the time to teach me how to climb outside. I have been going to the Evo rock gym in Concord once a week to try to improve my skills. I learned the hard way why I should have remembered to remove my wedding band. I got my fingers deep into a crack and I managed to wedge my ring with my finger tight in between the rock. After some time I was able to wiggle my finger out of the ring. I used a carabineer to gentle knock my ring free. I won’t forget next time. My father is way ahead of us. He, with the help of a couple of neighborhood kids stacked a winter’s supply of firewood in his shed. There is a big pile of wood waiting to be split for future winters use. I think I will wait until October. Have fun.

Summer is Time For Hunter Education! Hunting season will soon be here. If you need a hunter education class, sign up now to get into a class this summer or early fall. You can register online at www.huntnh.com/ hunting/hunter-ed.html. Browse the calendar for the best date and location, then select the course of your choice and complete the online registration to join the class. Walk-ins are accepted on a spaceavailable basis, but there are no guarantees; preregistration is highly recommended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Course availability is always very limited in September and October, so summer is your best bet to be sure of getting into a course,â&#x20AC;? says N.H. Fish and Game Hunter Education Coordinator Josh Mackay. If you have already completed the online course, sign up for the required
field day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we get into fall, the number of field days will be limited,â&#x20AC;? says Mackay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After October, no field days will be offered until the spring. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget -- taking the online course does not guarantee you will find space in a field day.â&#x20AC;? Hunter education is required in New Hampshire before a new hunter can purchase his or her first hunting license. If you are age 16 or older, you need a license to hunt. To meet this requirement, the N.H. Fish and Game Department offers classes around the state. Participants must be at least 12 years old to achieve certification in basic Hunter Education. Hunters who purchased an Apprentice Hunting License last year must take Hunter Education before they can purchase a hunting license this year. The
Apprentice Hunting License allows people to hunt under the guidance of an experienced hunter, without first taking a Hunter Education course. The Apprentice license may be purchased once in a lifetime, and is available only through the N.H. Fish and Game office in Concord. Learn more at www. huntnh.com/hunting/apprentice.html. For more information on Hunter Education in New Hampshire, visit www. huntnh.com/hunting/ hunter-ed.html, or call (603) 271-3214. Hunter Education in New Hampshire is funded by Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration, a user-pay, user-benefit program supported by an excise tax on firearms, ammunition and archery equipment.

With songs ranging from the 1940’s through today, members Tommy Duarte, Paul Lopes, Jimmy Martin, Vinny Staccia, and Guy Chiapponi, deliver music without instrumental accompaniment - and that is what North Shore Acappella is all about! The group makes regular appearances at venues across New England and will be performing in Wolfeboro, NH on August 21st. The performance will be held 7:30pm at Anderson Hall, 205 South Main St. Tickets are available through the Great Waters website www.greatwaters.org) or by calling the box office at (603) 569-7710. Ticket Prices for the show are $12, $20 or $30. The award-winning group offers a continuously fresh repertoire of
hundreds of popular hits that cover the last five decades. Each number and performance is arranged in a way that showcases each member in a role of lead singer – a trait that very few acappella groups in the country can claim. North Shore Acappella has appeared as the opening act for The Temptations, The Platters, Ben E. King, Johnny Maestro, Al Jarreau, Roberta Flack, Frankie Vallie, and Gene Pitney. In

Over the next few years the Torch Runs spread out to other states and in 1984, New Hampshire had its first Torch Run.

down the runway of the packed Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as Law Enforcement Officers from around the world, in full uniform, lined the runway and saluted as the torch passed. (If you didn’t get the chance to see it live you can catch in on YouTube. It is an emotional experience you won’t forget.) “It really was an honor to be part of it,” said Cormier. “These athletes are really our heroes, we look up to them. It humbles you to be part of it and makes you realize how small your own problems really are when you see what these special athletes can accomplish given their circumstances.” Cormier also stressed that the Special Olympics are so much more than just the athletics. “It’s about performing better in life. It gives them the confidence for not just things like employment but also to create new friendships locally, around the country and around the world.”

waiting for them, and the Lady off loaded some of the freight that had arrived by rail the previous day. Herbert duly noted the payment to the Belle in his ledger. (The ledger also notes payments made on other dates to the steamers Mineola and Cyclone.) Then after quick stops at Center Harbor and Bear Island to pick up more business travelers, they were on their way to the Weirs. Most of the passengers got off at the Weirs to catch the train. But the Lady also picked up a passenger that Herbert was excited to meet. As Sarah noted in her diary the next day - â&#x20AC;&#x153;A fine day. My new housekeeper came in on the 10:00 boat the Lady, with Herbert yesterday.â&#x20AC;? This woman was very important to Sarah, as her declining health left her unable to do heavy housework. Unfortunately, her diary entry less than three weeks later stated - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lantha (housekeeper) has gone away on the 10:30 boat, the Lady. She did not like this side of the lakeâ&#x20AC;? (some things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed!). Then, just a week later, she wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the Lady came in at 3:00, a new girl came on her for me.â&#x20AC;? There were no more diary entries on this subject, so apparently this one was happy with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the other side.â&#x20AC;? As this was the beginning of the month, Herbert met with his other boss, C.E.A. Bartlett, the treasurer of the Boston and Lowell Railroad. He turned over the profit the Lady had made during
The Lady of The Lake at Center Harbor, circa 1890. Note the beautiful figurehead on the bow. the previous reporting period, leaving himself enough cash to cover expenses for the coming week. This involved a bit of guess work, and unexpected expenses like that piston could easily throw him off. In addition, because the Lady always lost money in October when annual bills came due, he had to tap Mr. Bartlett for cash back. Many of those expenses were expected, like the property tax bills from the newly formed town of Laconia (not yet a city), and from Center Harbor, which had finally acquired its frontage on the lake. He always got a bill on Oct. 21 from JR.J. Folsom - 20 washes for $20. An d t h e n there were unexpected expenses, including a 50 cent bill from George C. Hartford to repair the

As soon as they landed, the fireman and dock workers went to work loading in more wood, along with last minute food supplies for noon â&#x20AC;&#x153;tableâ&#x20AC;?, and they were off again at 10:30. This was the big trip of the day, and large group of

passengers was aboard bound for a special daytime event. As Sarah noted - â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Long Sabbath School and Society went on a picnic over to the Weirs on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lady Boatâ&#x20AC;?. About 250 went - good time. Mrs. John Lovett came inâ&#x20AC;?. Unfortunately, another picnic was thwarted by a second mechanical failure
just a week later. Sarah wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Christian Baptist Society intended to go on a picnic today on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladyâ&#x20AC;?, but she broke a screw and could not come in on her 10:00 trip, so they have to wait until Thursday.â&#x20AC;? Later in the season, hundreds would travel to the Belknap County Fair and to veterans reunions at the Weirs. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip was also special, as dozens of excited passengers were aboard, bound for Center Harbor. This time the Lady sailed in the opposite direction, so she could meet the noon mail train at the Weirs. They were late. As Sarah noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herbert says the wind was uncommon on the lake. They were hindered 40 minutes this morning by the wind in getting to the Weirs.â&#x20AC;? (Running up the Broads into a brisk northwest wind can be a challenge - just ask Jim Morash.) The Sabbath School group debarked, and the Lady picked up more excited passengers who, like their Wolfeboro companions, had arrived by rail the previous evening. After a quick stop to drop freight at Bear island, the Lady steamed See warren on 40

on to Center Harbor. Pilot Lovett was particularly careful with his approach. The ledger shows that Herbert recently had to pay J.W. McCrillis $3 to repair damages that the Lady had inflicted on the pier. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quiet hamlet today, Center Harbor was a very important port in the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. It was the gateway to the White Mountains, which featured many luxurious hotels and rooming houses. As Marjorie Harkness noted in her wonderful book The Tamworth Narrative - â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wharf at Center Harbor in the summer was packed with spectators to see the boat come in: all the native population plus all the summer boarders greeting the big event with cheers and singing as the Lady of the Lake ... made her moorings. As multi-colored as modern cars, Concord coaches from all the hotels were lined up and waiting, along with a great quantity of smaller rigs from boarding houses.â&#x20AC;? As this was the beginning of the month of August, the delighted passengers whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d escaped from the See warren on 41

city debarked here to begin their summer vacation in the refreshing mountain air. The final trip out of Wolfeboro began at 3:30. Like the first, this one also carried mostly locals. As Sarah noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary Josslyn came to see us. She stayed until the 3:00 boat.â&#x20AC;? And on the return leg - â&#x20AC;&#x153;John Rustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife came home to his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Lady at 6:00.â&#x20AC;? The dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three runs completed, the dock workers and most of the crew retired for the night at 7:30. But Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over yet. After paying the day laborers and the vendors that dropped off supplies for tomorrow, he had to â&#x20AC;&#x153;do the booksâ&#x20AC;? and see what would be needed for the coming days. It
was also time to order more boat tickets from the printer C.H. Parker, and submit an advertisement to The Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knapsaek for the big upcoming reunion at the Weirs. All this would be tallied up for the year end report of income and expenses. The Lady initially did well under the supervision of the B & L RR, but profits declined in subsequent years, and the rail line divested itself of the boat in 1889. And Herbert lost his job, so we have no records beyond that date. The Lady went bankrupt and was retired in 1893, and Herbert died in 1900 at the young age of 39. And so ended a fascinating era in the history of our beloved Lake Winnipesaukee. The railroads and their steamboats

sowell from 7
immature males. There is the same liberal zeal for government intervention in housing markets, and the same lack of interest in checking out what the actual consequences are for the people who are supposed to be the beneficiaries of government housing policies, whether as tenants or home buyers. Government pressures and threats forced mortgage lenders to lower their lending standards, to allow more low-income and minority applicants to qualify. But, after the housing boom became a bust, the biggest losers were low-income and minority home buyers, who were unable to keep up the payments and lost everything -- which was the very reason they were turned down before lending standards were lowered. Rent control laws have led to housing shortages in cities around the world. More than a thousand apartment buildings have been abandoned by their owners in New York alone -- more than enough to house all the homeless in the city.
High tax rates on “the rich” -- however defined -- are an ever popular crusade on the left. Who cares about the consequences -- such as the rich investing their money overseas, where it will create jobs and economic growth in other countries, while American workers are unemployed and American economic growth is anemic? All these policies allow the political left to persist in their fact-free visions. And those visions in turn allow the left to feel good about themselves, while leaving havoc in their wake.

outrageous lies about their experiences. Sociopaths seek to dominate others and “win” at all cost. Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent. Sociopaths never apologize. Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth. After the past 6 years of the Obama presidency, it is clear to me that the above statement rings true. When you look at this paragraph and put “The Donald” in Obama’s place, much of this statement STILL rings true. Especially the “win” at all cost part. YIKES. Before we sign on to support a Republican Presidential candidate, we need to do our homework. The truth is Trump has supported Democrats much of his adult life. He believes that money can solve all the issues facing our Republic. (America is in MORAL DECLINE – addressing THIS is the way to save our Republic.) While economics are important, they are not nearly the entire picture.

Trump can be a very nasty and short-tempered human being, and his penchant for name calling is certainly NOT presidential. But, most importantly, the leader of the free world needs to COMMUNICATE with its citizens, political entities, and other nations. The leader of the free world needs to define what the American Constitution is all about and what our Constitutional Republic actually stands for. We need a leader who is strong but not quick to anger. Donald Trump may “tell it like it is”, but this is but one leg of the stool. Without the other legs, the stool is destined to break. So, be sure to do your homework, folks. Talking points (no matter WHOSE they are) don’t tell the whole story. There are some fine Republican candidates who are Conservative. Let’s be careful what we wish for – because, we just might get it. Nope. No Donald for this Conservative. God bless America.

fices across Southern California. The university’s top doctors and medical staff market their informatics expertise and consulting services to other Epic customers “to ensure the successful implementation and optimization of your Epic EHR.” Will they be sharing their experience having to mop up the post-cyber attack mess involving their Epic infrastructure? UCLA Health acknowledged that the hack forced it to “employ more cybersecurity experts on its internal security team, and to hire an outside cybersecurity firm to guard its network,” according to CNN. Now another Obama crony is poised to cash in on her cozy ties and take over the mega-overhaul of millions of Pentagon and Veterans Affairs medical records to the tune of at least $11 billion.

Nationwide, there has been a staggering 300% increase in infants diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) after being exposed to opioids in the womb. At the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, officials told me that more than one baby every hour is now born with conditions of NAS.

wicked brew from 15
WEIRS PUBLISHING COMPANY’S SEARCH FOR
from Mr Glidden. Coming in at 8% ABV, it’s a little bit more than your average brown ale potency. That being said, it is not over-powering and invites you back again and again. In a pint glass, this brew is noticeably brown, but a hint of copper to ruby red shines through. The slightly off-white head fades quicker than most healthy pours but is not a negative quality. Nose senses are semi-sweet and fruity with hints of hops at the end of your first encounter. A medium maltiness lingers along with brown sugar, molasses and peat. If you were to compare it to a Wee Heavy beer style, you wouldn’t be far off. You will come away from this beer knowing two things: Squam brews great beer, very consistently and that you will want more of this and all of their other offerings. John self-distributes his creations, which means you will always find it at Case-n-Keg in Meredith and Laconia as well as Golden Pond Country Store in Holderness. Folks

The Gallery At Washington Street Mills To Highlight To Seacoast Artists The Seacoast region is home to many fine artists, and among these are two whose acclaim extends quite beyond the local area. The Gallery at Washington Street Mills in Dover are pleased to present the works of John Frederick Arens and Ron St. Jean. Ron is an established photographer, and a member of the New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association, the New Hampshire Society of Photographic Artists, and the NH Art Association. John is a well-known and established artist both here in the Seacoast of New Hampshire, and in the Greater Boston art scene as well. Running now until September 30th, this is a collaborative show. One common thread throughout human history has been our use of stone – from simple tools, to shelter, to our grandest monuments, stone has played a constant role in human history. John’s paintings are the result of communing with stone for a lifetime. The “STONEDGE” series is the culmi-
One of John Frederick Arens paintings at the Gallery At Washington Street Mills in Dover. nation of a process begun with drawings of our rugged coast. Sketches were taken from these original drawings, singling out patterns of interest. These draw-
ings were manipulated to produce depictions about balance and precariousness, a small reflection of our own. Painted with knives and with multiple applications of
oils with intensified local colour, these works attempt to speak to our relation with stone, and our ponderings about the necessary issues of environment. Ron St. Jean recently visited Ireland with his wife Diane. Ron recounts: “We spent a week exploring the remarkable eroded limestone landscape of the Burren in western Ireland’s County Clare. We marveled at the hundreds of miles of stone walls, mostly constructed of stones stacked diagonally, delineating pastures on the mainland and all over the Aran Island of Inisheer. We explored a stone burial cairn, and a portal tomb constructed of huge flat stones, both built more than 5000 years ago. The opportunity to see so much stone shaped by the forces of nature and the hand of man provided me with the inspiration to create photographs with which I tried to express my reaction to the evolving rocky landscape we witnessed.” The Gallery is located in the Picker Building at the Washington Street Mills.
