Dover Mini Maker Faire

The Arts Are Alive This Summer!! New Hampshire has always been a mecca for

artists and craftsmen from the mountains to the seacoast and no season best exemplifies this than summer. The days may be getting shorter but the arts are still in full bloom. This week we highlight a few of the great artistic events that are going on around the state. Pictured here is an artist at last year’s Plein Aire event in Wolfeboro which will take place courtesy Photo again this year on Saturday, September 6th.

On Saturday, August 23rd the second annual Dover Mini Maker Faire will bring dozens of interactive exhibits, demonstrations and speakers to downtown Dover from 10 am – 4 pm, based in and around the hosting organization, the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire. Featuring both established and emerging “makers,” the Dover Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration of innovation that will feature rockets and robots, DIY science and technology, tricked-out vehicles, educational workshops, unique hand-made crafts, green technology, music, art, and local food

trucks. Organizers expect 1,500 attendees this year. The Dover Mini Maker Faire takes after its enormous parent event, Maker Faire, which hosts more than 100,000 visitors in San Mateo, California each year. The Dover Mini Maker Faire is a smaller, community-focused event, but follows the Maker Faire model of celebrating do-it-yourself creativity and tinkering.

Wolfeboro has always been known as one of the treasures on Lake Winnipesaukee. With its New England charm and friendliness, even in the middle of the sometimes hectic summer crowds, Wolfeboro has a built a fine reputation that transcends its simple claim as “America’s Oldest Summer Resort.” A new attraction has come on the scene in Wolfeboro that gives visitors and locals alike another reason to visit this popular lakefront community. ART WALK, held on the last Friday of each

month, April through December, provides the opportunity to take a self-guided, free tour of galleries and arts locations from the north end of Main Street (Rte 28) to the south and includes: The Studio Gallery, The Kalled Gallery, The Art Place, Artisans Corner, Sandy Martin’s Gallery, Azure Rising, the Connelly Gallery and also the Northeastern Ballet Studio. “Each gallery is responsible for what happens in their gallery,” said Jeannette D’Onofrio who is the owner of Virgo Design in Wolfeboro and is also an organizer of ART WALK as well as a member of the Governor Wentworth Arts Council

Common Core Bad To The Editor: Everything I have seen about Common Core is bad. We want teachers to be allowed to teach, and our kids to learn, but Common Core undermines both teachers and students. Tossing out our good curriculum for Common Core says the present curriculum doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. I disagree. For instance, kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need, and shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be taught, 7 (or so?) more difficult ways, instead of the proper way to do math. The classic method of one number above the other is far easier and faster. More complexity, and slower methods of problem solving will lead to less education and less-educated students. We need bettereducated students who can excel at the next level. David Martin Dover, NH.

Library Garden is a Community Effort To The Editor: 2014 marks the tenth year of the Meredith Library Public Garden. The garden was started in 2005 as part of the America in Bloom competition. Its first year it received first place honors in the competition. In 2013, the library garden came in third in the Landscape Design Contest. This is the tenth year that it has been designated as one of the All-American Selection (AAS) Display Gardens. The display gardens are dedicated to growing

Our Story

AAS Winner plants in an attractive outdoor setting that is open to the public. Each year since 1932, AAS has conducted trials and selected winning flower and vegetable varieties as a way for home gardeners to learn which new varieties are truly improved. This year the garden was supplemented by stepping stones created by teens at the library in an activity led by youth services librarian John Locke. The Greater Meredith Sculpture Walk also added a metal dragonfly sculpture to the front of the garden space. Throughout the growing season, volunteers from the Friends of Meredith Library weed and water the garden to maintain its pristine condition. Anyone interested in becoming a Friend of the Meredith Library may visit the library website at www. meredithlibrary.org or call the library at 279-4303 for more information. Thank you to all the parties that made this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden possible: The Greater Meredith Program for donating the plants and for adding the sculpture, the Friends of the Meredith Library for purchasing the materials for the stepping stones and maintaining the garden, and the library teens for creating the stones. We at the library hope that the entire community and visitors to the area have an opportunity to come and enjoy this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lovely display.

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weirs Times and Touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper which are taken from Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic publication.

Limit Animal Waste To The Editor: Last weekend the drinking water of 400,000 Toledo residents was fouled by animal waste. With unfettered growth of animal agriculture and ineffective discharge regulations, it will happen again in our own state. The problem has become pervasive. Waste from chicken farms has rendered ocean off the East Coast unfit for fishing. Waste from Midwest cattle ranches carried by Mississippi River has created a permanent â&#x20AC;&#x153;dead zoneâ&#x20AC;? in the Gulf of Mexico larger than that of the infamous 2010 BP oil spill. Animal agriculture dumps more pollution to our waterways than all other human activities combined. Principal pollutants are animal manure, fertilizers, as well as soil particles, organic debris, and pesticides from feed cropland. Manure and fertilizers promote growth of toxic algae that poison drinking water supplies. Organic matter feeds microorganisms that deplete oxygen and kill fish. Effective regulations to limit dumping of animal waste into water supplies have been blocked by the meat industry. Fortunately, every one of us has the power to stop this outrage three times a day by saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to polluting meat and dairy products. Our local supermarket offers ample alternatives. Entering â&#x20AC;&#x153;live veganâ&#x20AC;? in a search engine provides useful recipes and transition tips. Clyde Morgan Concord, NH.

*A FLATLANDERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Win With Me!

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

As I continue my campaign for governor of New Hampshire under the Flatlander Ticket, I am finding it harder and harder to stay afloat. Not being well funded, as well as not having developed a good solid negative campaign against my opponents, I find myself in a precarious situation. There are a lot of Political Action Committees (PACs) out there that are helping out the other candidates by running ads and sending out mailers that the candidates themselves donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay for. I, on the other hand, am trying to get by with a war chest of $182.16 and no PACs to support me. This has forced me to come up with some drastic measures to keep my campaign alive. Sure I could go the grassroots route and conduct a doorto-door campaign as well as bothering people on Sunday morning at local diners while they are trying to have their one relaxing breakfast of the week. I could go to county fairs and Old Home Days and shake peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands and pretend to be interested in what they have to say. I could even hang out at busy intersections in different towns and cities, holding a sign with my name on it and waving at cars as they go by, diverting peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention from the road and hopefully not causing any accidents. But I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

the time for any of that. So, my campaign manager Vinnie and me have decided on a new course of action that we feel will keep us in the game until election day and even possibly catch a lot of folks by surprise. If you vote for me you just might win stuff. If you go into the voting booth on election day and write-in my name for governor, you will be entered into a drawing to win some great prizes. Years ago this idea would have been impossible to follow through with. How could we know if people actually voted for me or if they just said they did so they might win a new HD TV (yes, one of the valuable prizes). Today, with the advent and ubiquity of the smartphone, people can now go into the voting booth, write-in my name, take a selfie of themselves with the ballot, and email it to me to be entered into the contest. Not only do we think that this idea will give us a lot of votes that we never thought we would get before, but it would also bring out people to vote who have never voted in years. And with the way the New Hampshire system of allowing just about anyone to vote here even if they live in another state, we expect that the turnout would be huge; possibly bigger than the population of the state itself. The possibility of winning a home entertainment system, a sevenday, six-night cruise of the Caribbean and even a new Lexus (we are working on it) could make, on election day, the border of New Hampshire busier than the border of Texas. We are excited about the possibilities and are convinced that it might even change the process of vot-

ing for years to come. After all, would you rather vote for someone who is promising economic stability, jobs and a crackdown on crime or someone who offers you the opportunity to give you and your family that much sought after week long trip to Disneyland, all expenses included? We figure it is a no brainer. So, on election day, go to your local voting place and get a ballot any way you can. Then, go into the voting booth and check off the write-in section for governor and then writein my name (very important). Then take a selfie of yourself with the ballot (making sure the write-in section is clear) and then email it to me. If I do win the election, we will then print out all of the photos and put them in a large bin and then on a webcast a day or two after the election, we will draw out names to win the prizes. (I do have to win, I could only afford the prizes to give away on a governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salary It will also be important that the winner of the prize does match the photo, we are doing everything here we can to prevent voter fraud. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten together a complete list of what all the prizes will be yet, but will keep you posted. We are looking forward to this election day and now, with the opportunity to win valuable prizes, we are sure you are as well. ******** Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Flatlander Chroniclesâ&#x20AC;? is available at The Weirs Times and online at www.tinyurl.com/meu75h9

Guest Editorial

From The Congo To Dover, NH

A member of the Obama administration recently informed the City of Dover that it has been selected to absorb 500 by David Scott children from Dover, NH. the Congo over the next 5 years as political refugees. We were told it will be the responsibility of the City of Dover to house, feed and educate these children. There may be some federal financial assistance for the first year, but the source, amount and length of federal funding is unclear. When a Dover official asked whether the city of Dover could decline to participate in this program, the person in charge said “it is not your call”. We are told the entry of these children will bypass US legal immigration procedures. The 500 children will most likely be followed by their parents at some later time, to reunite the families. Apart from the impact on the Dover city and school budget over the next five years, I have a major concern regarding the exposure of our Dover children to communicable diseases. The July 29, 2014 issue of the Wall Street Journal had a full page story titled “West Africa strains to contain Ebola Virus.” The government of Liberia has just closed its borders to prevent the spread of the Ebola virus. One of Liberia’s top doctors has just died from the virus and two US health-care workers in Libe-

ria have been infected by Ebola virus, which is fatal in 90% of those infected. Two adjacent West African countries, along with Liberia report over 1,201 people have been infected with the Ebola virus so far this year. The Atlanta Center for Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC), has just issued an alert to health care professionals to be on the lookout for people who have traveled to West Africa and exhibit possible symptoms of Ebola – fever, headache and diarrhea. With this alarming news one must ask the question, is it conceivable that Dover could become the entry point of Ebola into New Hampshire? Are we putting our Dover children at risk? I would suggest, if we have no choice, because it is “not your call” we should insist that any children sent here from the Congo have the complete list of vaccinations currently required of legal immigrants. One of my friends from Italy has just married an American. Being a spouse of a citizen she has moved to the head of the legal immigration line. Even so it is a long immigration process and includes a thorough medical exam and a long list of vaccinations. She mentioned the list included Diphtheria, two shots of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), Influenza, HIB, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rotovirus, Varicella, Pneumococcal, and Meningococcal. Since Ebola is a new virus for which no cure has yet been found I would also recommend See scott on 38

Meet the Cops Who Gave Their Lives If you’ve been watching cable news, reading Hollywood celebrities’ tweets and listening to race-hustling opporby Michelle Malkin tunists, you Syndicated Columnist might think that every police officer in America has a finger on the trigger, hunting for any excuse to gun down defenseless youths. This hysterical nonsense must be stopped. The Cirque du Cop-Bashing, with Al Sharpton as ringmaster, is working overtime to exploit the deadly incident in Ferguson, Mo. That means stoking anti-law enforcement fires at all costs. Are there bad cops? Yes. Does the police state go overboard sometimes? Yes. Do the demagogues decrying systemic racism and braying about “assassinations” know what happened

when teenager Mike Brown was tragically shot and killed last week? No. Here’s a reality check. While narcissistic liberal journalists and college kids are all posting “Hands Up” selfies in hipster solidarity with Ferguson protesters, it’s law enforcement officers who risk their lives in “war zones” every day across the country. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) reports that a total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. These include local and state police officers, federal officers, correctional officers and military law enforcement officers. Fact: Last year, 100 law enforcement officers were killed. On average, over the past decade, there have been 58,261 assaults against law enforcement each year, resulting in 15,658 injuries.

France Pressured Over Russian Navy Deal ST. NAZAIRE, France—Far

from the sputtering conflict, the war of words, and the diplomatic jousting between Russia by John J. Metzler and the West Syndicated Columnist over the future sovereignty of Ukraine, there’s a lucrative business deal unfolding in the French Atlantic port of St. Nazaire. There amid the construction cranes and buzzing machine shops of one of France’s largest naval shipbuilders, two new steel grey ships are taking form; both being amphibious assault ships for the Russian navy. Looming menacingly, both on the horizon as well as in relations between France and many of her Western allies, the Vladivostok presents a quiet testament to the proverbial bottom line in business relations between France and Russia—business as usual despite the political problems du jour. A few years ago, France contracted to build two Mistral class navy helicopter ships in the port of St. Nazaire. The business deal between the South Korean ownedSTX shipbuilder and the Russian navy exceeds $1 billion for each vessel and plans are to deliver the first of the ships probably later this year, politics permitting. For Moscow, the deal represents the first major weapons import since the fall of the former Soviet Union.

But for France, the deal has caused political waves with many of its closest allies. While Washington and London have pressured Paris to scrap or slow down the sale, the French Socialist government, facing near nil economic growth, and fearful of further job cuts, still supports the sale which sustains an economically endangered shipbuilding industry. Though the British government has pressured France not to pursue the sale given the international actions of Vladimir Putin, Francois Hollande has lashed out at London over “its hypocrisy” in hosting so very many wealthy Russian oligarchs. Looming menacingly, the Vladivostok’s steel grey frame is taking form. Over 400 sailors are already stationed on the ship, learning the ropes so to speak, before its returns to Russia for active military service as a helicopter carrier enabling rapid intervention and deployment likely as the flagship of a new Mediterranean squadron. Each ship will be fitted with 16 K-52 “Alligator” attack helicopters. Ironically viewing the steel grey behemoth has become a kind of spectator sport in the port town. Curiosity being what it is, locals and tourists come to visit the docks to see the vessel, watch the sailors on drill, and often watch the crews on leave in town hovering near cell phone shops to pick up free wifi signals. A bit of history. Situated on the Bay of Biscay, St. Nazaire remains

one of France’s greatest ports; its shipbuilders constructed such iconic trans-Atlantic ocean liners as the Normandie in the 1930’s, the France in 1961, and Cunard’s new flagship the Queen Mary 2 just a decade ago. The modern shipyard routinely constructs many of the cruise ships which ply Caribbean waters. On a darker side, during

WWII and the German occupation of France, the port hosted one of the largest U-boat bases, the fifteen near-intact submarine pens from that era still stand as a silent testament to the past. When Moscow slapped economic sanctions on the USA and European Union, in response to See Metzler on 40

Attacking Achievement New York’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, like so many others who call themselves “progressive,” is gungho to solve social problems. by Thomas Sowell In fact, he is Syndicated Columnist currently on a crusade to solve an educational problem that doesn’t exist, even though there are plenty of other educational problems that definitely do exist. The non-existent problem is the use of tests to determine who gets admitted to the city’s three most outstanding public high schools -- Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech. These admissions tests have been used for generations, and the students in these schools have had spectacular achievements for generations. These achievements include many Westinghouse Science awards, Intel Science awards and -- in later life -- Pulitzer Prizes and multiple Nobel Prizes. Graduates of Bronx Science alone have gone on to win five Nobel Prizes in physics alone. There are Nobel Prize winners from Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech as well. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is a motto that Mayor de Blasio and many other activist politicians pay no attention to. He is also out to curtail charter schools, which include schools that have achieved outstanding education results for poor minority students, who cannot get even adequate results in all too many of the other public schools. What is wrong with charter schools and with elite high schools

like Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech? Despite their educational achievements, they have political problems. The biggest political problem is that the teachers’ unions don’t like them -- and the teachers’ unions are the 800-pound gorilla among the special interests in Bill de Blasio’s Democratic Party. The next biggest political problem is that people who don’t pass the tests for the elite public high schools don’t want to have to pass tests to get in. Their politicians have been denouncing these admissions tests for decades, and so have various other ethnic community “leaders.” These include spokesmen for “civil rights” organizations, who think their civil rights include getting into these elite schools, whether they qualify or not. Finally, there are the intelligentsia, who all too often equate achievement with privilege. In times past, such people called Stuyvesant “a free prep school for Jews” and “a privileged little ivory tower.” That was clever, but cleverness is not wisdom. Back in those days, Jewish youngsters were over-represented among the students at all three elite public high schools. Today it is Asian students who are a majority at those same schools -- more than twice as many Asians as whites in all three schools. Black and Hispanic students are rare at all three elite public high schools, and becoming rarer. Many among the intelligentsia and politicians express astonishment that the ethnic makeup of See Sowell on 40

Historical Society News 

Who was Herman Mudgett (HH Holmes)?

New Hampshire Now! The only program that talks about what’s happening in all of The Granite State.

Live Monday – Friday 10-11a.m. Call in at 224-1450. Listen live on 1450AM – 103.9FM or on-line at ConcordNewsRadio.com

Pat Clarke, VP of the Gilmanton Historical Society, will present a program on Gilmanton’s most notorious (late) resident, the convicted serial killer Herman Webster Mudgett, alias H.H. Holmes. The presentation takes place on Tuesday, August 26, at 7:30pm at Old Town Hall on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works. Mr. Clarke will cover Mudgett’s educational and teaching history in Gilmanton, his experiences in medical school, and try to correct some of the myths that have arisen about him. Refreshments and social hour begin at 7 pm; the program begins promptly at 7:30. The Society’s Museum, in the basement of Old Town Hall, is open at 7 pm. The program is free and open to the public; donations to support the work of the Society are gratefully received The Society’s final program of the 2014 summer series, September 23rd, addresses the textile workers of the Amoskeag Company. For details pick up a brochure at the Town Office and review the Society’s exhibit on the history of Town Reports in the display cases. Or check the Society’s website, www.historicalsocietiesnh.org/gilmanton. There is a link on the Town website.

Program on Peru At Rochester Historical Society On Thursday, September 11, at 7pm at the Rochester Historical Society Museum on Hanson Street, Raymond Turmelle of Summit Productions will present “Peru: Home of the Incas.” This multimedia program follows a trek in the Andes of Peru and a climb of Nevado Yawarhaju at 19,000 feet, as well as a visit to Cuzco, once the capital city of the Inca Empire before it was conquered by the Spaniards in the 1500’s. From there is a visit to Machu Picchu, considered one of the most isolated and interesting Inca sanctuaries in the world. It was rediscovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, a Yale University professor. The Incas were proficient in agriculture and developed the well known potato. They were not familiar with derricks, pulleys, or even the wheel, yet their skill in shaping and fitting stones together so closely that a knife blade can not be placed between them is amazing. The Incas did not develop the art of writing, so their reason for being at Machu Picchu is a matter of conjecture. Archeologists are continually digging in the area hoping to discover the secrets of this mysterious and intriguing place. Ray Turmelle is well known for his years leading the Graniteer Drum and Bugle Corps. An experienced hiker and photographer, he has hiked on five continents and taken wonderful photographs of beautiful scenery that he has gladly shown to those who only dream of such adventure. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will follow the meeting. For more information please call 330-3099 or e-mail rochesterhistorical@metrocast.net.

It’s Snow Time!!

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

Are the goldfinches back with a vengeance and do they appear to be duller in color than ever before? to nest building, egg laying 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.

The free lecture will be held at 7pm with light refreshments to follow. The steamer Chateaugay was the first steelhulled vessel in the fleet of steamboats operated on the New York lakes of Lake Champlain and Lake George by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Entering service in 1888, the Chateaugay served on Lake Champlain on and off through 1939 when she was ultimately retired. Her hull was cut into sections and shipped by rail to Lake Winnipesaukee to become the new Mount Washington. Strumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk focuses on the Chateaugayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years on Lake Champlain, along with those of her sister steamers. He will provide an overview of

the history of steamboating on Lake Champlain dating back to 1809 through the retirement of the last lake steamer (the Ticonderoga) in 1953. The Chateaugay paved the way for an entire fleet of modern steel-hulled steamers on Lake Champlain and Lake George that totaled six by 1911. Rich Strum worked at Shelburne Museum, the current home of the steamer Ticonderoga, in Vermont from 1989 to 1999. While on staff at Shelburne he served on the exhibition team that developed and implemented an interpretation plan for the steamer as she neared the completion of an extensive seven year restoration project. The newly-restored vessel with new exhibitions was symbolically â&#x20AC;&#x153;rechristenedâ&#x20AC;? in September 1998. In addition to writing Ticonderoga: Lake Champlain Steamboat, Strum is the author of three books for young readers related to 18th-century history. He has been the Director of Education at Fort Ticon-

deroga since 1999. To learn more about the New Hampshire Boat Museum or the lecture, call the Museum at 603569-4554 or visit the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.nhbm.org.

Advertising Old And New

This lovely old advertising poster can be found at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in the Weirs. If you were summering in the area in 1932, you would find this nicely designed poster compelling. Not only do you see the vast panoramas available to you on your trip but the limited color scheme and pleasing composition details the $1.00 fare and other pertinent facts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all without overwhelming the viewer. It is a nice looking poster. Advertising is everywhere. We are bombarded with ads on T.V., radio, in magazines, on billboards, on clothing and on souvenirs like key chains and coffee cups. If you want to add a product to your self-concept, the advertisers will be happy to help you out! One could argue that advertising is necessary to promote a product and if an individual or company wants to survive, a robust advertising campaign is necessary. I have to agree. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a way to separate your product as special and necessary, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it. These days, there are so many more options than the attractive 1932 poster, especially today with the World Wide Web. As an educator, I like to caution my listeners that not all advertisers are equal. Certain unsavory and perhaps predatory themes occur in advertising and they include the following: weight loss schemes, freedom from pain schemes, beauty schemes and of course, schemes that will add to your sexual allure. We must be informed consumers and process what advertisements pledge to provide. Do these promises make sense? Are medications really safe when companies must show you happy scenes (look at that shiny object over there) so

t DVMMJHBO!NFUSPDBTU OFU you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear all the possible health risks? Do the benefits outweigh the risks? Is the price realistic? I urge everyone to please not accept what you hear at face value! Tell your children the same. Regarding children, what an opportunity we have when we see an advertisement and use that opportunity to deconstruct the ad with our kids. Kids need to learn how to discern the fact from the embellishment. This can be done in front of the T.V., at the grocery store, when traveling and at each and every turn. It is also a great way to share our values with our children. Taking advertisements at face value is akin to taking political candidates at face value. In politics, advertising is hard at work painting a happy scene and denouncing the other guy. In this regard, I suggest that we all do our home-

work! Read each side of the opinions. Listen to many sources as well. If we vote for the cult of personality, or vote for charisma, we will be casting a superficial vote. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled like this! Voting for a person just because of the color of their skin or just because of their gender is an uninformed vote that we cannot afford. The truth is that there are many people of color and many women on both sides of the political aisle. As we see in advertising, a pledge to solve all your problems or impugn the competition is a bad sign. In politics, advertising campaigns prey on the apolitical vote who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their fact finding. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled and do your research! Kimberly J. B.

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

IS TIGER FINISHED? It was one of the dramatic moments in sports history. The 72nd and final hole of the U.S. Open on June 16, 2008, at Torrey Pines in LaJolla, California. Tiger Woods sized up a 12-foot putt. He needed to make it to tie Rocco Mediate and force a playoff the next day. Playing partner Lee Westwood had just missed a 15-footer to drop out of contention. Tiger walked around the green, looking at the putt from every angle, the tension building all the while. Untold thousands of spectators watched and an eerie hush came over everyone. Amidst total quietude, Tiger finally stood over the ball and launched his putt. It rimmed the hole and dropped, triggering an ear-splitting roar. The 18-hole playoff was on for June 17. Tiger moved out to a threestroke lead but three straight birdies by Rocco helped give Mediate a onestroke lead going to the 18th and final hole. With the eyes of the golf world once again upon him, Tiger birdied 18 to again tie. He went on to win on the first â&#x20AC;&#x153;sudden deathâ&#x20AC;? playoff hole, after Mediate bogeyed. Tiger pocketed $1.4 million while winning his 14th â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major.â&#x20AC;? In fact, the win gave him his third â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Slam.â&#x20AC;? The thirty-two year-old Woods was atop the golfing world. It was only a matter of time before he broke Jack Nicklausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record of 18 Major Golf championship titles. Some speculated he might pass

Mike Moffett, Fahim Fazli and Jose Cambrils kayaking the Merrimack River.â&#x20AC;? Nicklaus in as little as two years. Fast-Forward â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;Śto 2014. Woods will be 39 years old this December, and still has â&#x20AC;&#x153;onlyâ&#x20AC;? those 14 Major titles. Now the speculation is not when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll break Nicklausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record, but whether Tiger will ever win another Major. He underwent knee surgery after his 2008 U.S. Open triumph. In 2009 the National Enquirer reported Woods had an affair with nightclub manager (and UNH grad) Rachel Uchitel. Two days later he had a mysterious traffic accident, taking out a fire hydrant and some hedges. More mistresses emerged. Companies dropped Woods from endorsement deals. Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife. Elin Nordegren, filed for divorce and custody of the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two children. More physical problems manifested themselves, most recently a back injury at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Woods gamely sought after a fifth PGA title at Valhalla Country Club earlier this month in Louisville, but missed the cut. So is Tiger Woods through? Finis? Caput? Done? Who knows? The notion of Woods not making a Ryder Cup Team, or the 2016 Olympic Golf Team is hard to fathom, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 41 in 2016. Did his wondrous golf reign

end that magical weekend at Torrey Pines in 2008? Time will tell. Rory McIlroy is the new King of Golf. As Woods fades away, one wonders when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take on the official status of â&#x20AC;&#x153;has-been.â&#x20AC;? But â&#x20AC;Ś recall that Tom Watson almost won the British Open at age 60. By that measure, Wood could have at least 10 more years of competitive golf left in him, which means so much to the golf world. TV ratings soar when he plays, which translates into untold extra millions of dollars for the networksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and for the golf establishment. See moffett on 31

What Was So Wrong, Not Enough Welfare? In the early part of 1973 my application to the NH Public Utilities Commission was denied. by Niel Young Advocates Columnist No, not to go into the power, or phone business. For some reason this agency had the power to say NO you are not needed in the Same Day delivery of packages. Okay, I will abide by RSA 375-a. Shouldn’t be a problem, “Public Convenience and necessity” is just what my venture was all about, and, if the established big truckers who deliver the next day or later, would not offer same day why would anyone oppose my application? I did everything that was required of me to present my case. I had a lawyer, supporting shippers which are “witnesses” who want to do business with me because nobody else was performing that service. DENIED! A group of my friends said this cannot stand. Back then Laconia had partisan municipal elections. Two Democrats and a ward Republican chairman urged me to bypass Party Primaries and run as an Independent for Ward 5 City Councilor. Since we had decided that this was a long shot, why not, it was a chance stay in the fight through the general election. Knowing that in 1974 I would be running for State Representative as a Republican, to change for ALL who might come forward to be “in the business” with the right to serve the public, the opportunity to succeed or fail. Government would no longer decide

who gets in and who will not! After my victory to become a city councilor in 1974 and a member of the NH House in 1975, I have never given up fighting for people who want to work or own their own business. Sort of an unpaid lobbyist for those who work to be makers, NOT takers. I did my best to repair this broken law aka protection for the big companies by limiting competition. Do you know what? Gee, the next time I applied for “my rights”, got them in no time. Why do you suppose that happened would the readers care? ******** For years here and during my radio program you have been warned to acknowledge the creep (increments) the Liberals and other enemies of America succeed by you sitting on the sidelines. Despite the warning signs too many Americans for some reason elected the worst president ever -TWICE! That my fellow Americans is the final action to change our country forever. Why did you do it? Please, please, tell me. Today the thought of serving is not so attractive even if you are a candidate for an honorable reason. DAILY CALLER: Georgia Rep. John Lewis made the public call Thursday afternoon as protesters continue to clash with police in Ferguson after a cop shot and killed unarmed black teen Michael Brown Saturday night. LEWIS: “People have a right to protest. They have a right to dissent. They have a right to march in an orderly, peaceful, non-violent fashion. And the press has a right to cover it. President Obama should use the

authority of his office to declare martial law. Federalize the Missouri National Guard to protect people as they protest.” Wouldn’t you like to know how Shaheen, Shea-Porter, Ayotte, and Kuster feel about Martial Law? With all that has happened in the past 6 years, not what but who is the common denominator? Who has set the agenda, who has the plan, and how soon after the Bush era did that person meet with the cabinet and leaders in OUR government? Where is the plan Barack? Obama acts like a man who just doesn’t care what happens to our country. ******** Newsmax 8/15: “Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, beloved by New Hampshire voters after presidential primary wins there in 2000 and 2008, is stepping up to campaign in the Granite State with Republican U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown.” Hey Newsmax, you really ought to talk to NH principled conservatives. You will find that John is not that beloved. Before you report that Mike Huckabee is beloved, not so fast, I will make sure that many of these socalled conservatives are not happy that too many of them lost the respect of conservatives for getting Thad Cochran and Lamar Alexander past real Tea Party candidates. That gives me an idea. How about a Hall of Shame for Republicans!

Today the legacy of their pursuits lives on in the Margret and H.A.

The Residency strives to encourage students and community members to understand the role of the artist in contemporary society, to engage in the creative process, and to think critically about the arts. The Residency allows the artist to help students, teachers and community members to experience the arts through a variety of activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; programs, workshops, interactive walks/ hikes, performances, exhibits, and open studio times, and allows time for the artist to create work.

How To Clean An Outdoor Teak Table

~Fully Insured~

by Tim Carter

Syndicated Columnist

DEAR TIM: I purchased a used teak outdoor table from Craigslist. It was a great deal, but it needs some tender loving care. How do I clean it? Should I just pressure wash it? After cleaning it, how should I protect it, or can I just let it weather to a natural color? I want the wood table to last as long as possible. -- Ann P., Raleigh, NC DEAR ANN: I’ve had great success selling things on Craigslist. Believe it or not, I used to be in a private mastermind group with the founder of that website. It’s a great place to find fantastic bargains. I’m stunned at the tools, home improvement materials and furniture you can find for amazing prices. Teak outdoor furniture sets are popular where I live and I see several on the website right now. Teak is a great wood for outdoor use. Just ask any sailor about how well teak can stand up to the punishing abuse Mother Nature can dish out. Teak is a common wood found on boats that sail the high

Use a scrub brush and clean water to rinse the cleaner from a fine teak table. seas both as decking and as trim lumber on boats. I sail with a friend on a 24-foot sailboat and it has teak in various places on the boat. To keep teak looking like new, you should protect it with a pigmented sealer. If you don’t, it will weather to a natural gray and cracking may start to occur. Small checking cracks can allow water to penetrate deeper into the wood causing the cracks to get larger. I would avoid using a pressure washer on your teak table. Pressure washers are the easy way to clean, but the problem is they can also damage the furniture-grade teak lumber. Think what water flowing over rock can do when you look at the Grand Canyon. It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure out what water at 2,400 pounds per square inch can do to wood!

I prefer to use certified organic oxygen bleach to clean teak. These products are readily available online and at some stores. Oxygen bleach is not harsh like chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach can whiten the teak wood fibers because it’s such a strong oxidizer. I don’t think you want a white table, but I could be mistaken. I’ve had the best luck cleaning teak wood when it’s dry. Try to work in the shade, if possible. Mix up a solution of oxygen bleach. One cup of powdered oxygen bleach for each gallon of hot tap water will cut through dirt, algae, mold, mildew and most of the oxidized wood stains or sealers that might be on the teak. Stir the powder in the water until it’s completely dissolved. Pour the solution into a standard handSee builder on 20

pump garden sprayer. Adjust the nozzle so it applies a spray to the teak wood. Spray the entire table, including the underside, and keep it wet with the solution for at least 15 to 30 minutes. If the solution looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaking in, spray the teak again. You should see countless tiny white bubbles on the surface of the wood. This means the oxygen bleach is working and helping loosen the dirt, failed stain and sealer and other things from the wood. At the end of the wait period, use a hand scrub brush to clean the table. The brushing action takes the place of the destructive force of the pressure washer. You always need to mechanically agitate

the surface of anything you clean. A standard household scrub brush will do a magnificent job on teak. As you scrub, use a constant low flow of water from a garden hose to rinse away all the dirt and failed sealer and stain. You should see dramatic results as you scrub. The longer you allow the oxygen bleach solution to soak -- even up to an hour -- the less you have to scrub. If you have to scrub too hard to get great results, stop and reapply more oxygen bleach solution to the teak. In almost all cases, the teak will clean up very well. Be sure you rinse the table well as you scrub. Allow the table to dry in the shade. Once the table is dry,

apply a synthetic-resin sealer or stain to the teak. Be sure it says on the label that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approved for use on teak. You want a sealer that will soak into the teak wood and not form a film on the surface. Film-forming sealers will eventually peel and your table will be a mess. Realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal for you to have to clean and reseal your teak table every few years. If the table is in direct sunlight most of the time, the sealer will fail faster. If you can store the table in a shed over the winter, you can extend the life of the sealer. Each spring just clean the table with liquid dish soap and water, if the sealer is in good shape. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to use this soap and water during the summer season to remove invisible sugars excreted by nearby trees. These sugars are food for mildew, mold and algae.

At 7:30 on Saturday, August 23rd, The Flying Monkey in Plymouth will welcome The Kingston Trio back to its stage. The trio has been a part of the American music fabric for over 50 years, bringing folk into the mainstream with hits like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tom Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. They have received two Grammy Awards, been named to the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 2011 won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Tickets for this up close and personal concert start at $39. Ahhh the good old days of folk. The good old days, you ask? Hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t folk been around since the dinosaurs? Well, yes. Maybe not quite that far back, but certainly as far back as cowboys singing songs around campfires, and even farther back when traditions were brought across the Ocean by their ancestors has there been what we refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;folk music.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But it is not something our modern culture always recognized or embraced. In 1957 The Kingston Trio emerged from San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Beach club scene to take the country

by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music into the mainstream for the first time. In that first year with six notes rolling melodically off a banjo and the spoken words of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throughout history, there have been many songs written about the eternal triangle. This next one tells the story of a Mr. Grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned man named Tom Dooley,â&#x20AC;? The Kingston Trio began to take the world by storm. During the late 50s & early 60s, the Trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while influencing the musical tastes of a generation. Through changing times, the Trio has played on,

remaining popular for a simple reason... great songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard them. And fifty-four years after Tom Dooley shot to the top of the charts, the Trio is still on the road thirty weeks a year, bringing back all the great memories and making new ones. As a fan put it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;our generation might not live forever, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bet The Kingston Trio will!â&#x20AC;? Tickets for The Kingston Trio are $39, and $45 for premier seats.

On Tuesday August 26th at 5:30pm Kathy Wordwood will be at Annie’ssigning copies of her book, “Habits, Hosts and the Holy Ghost.” At its heart, Habits, Hosts and the Holy Ghost captures forgotten memories of attending a Catholic school in the 1960’s. The stories are based on actual events and lifechanging experiences of the author and fellow classmates. Enjoy the tales of Maureen Mary Mulldoon whose Irish family prayed novenas, lit candles and said rosaries for the girl’s promising vocation as a nun. But once she enters St Timothy’s Catholic School and discovers the not-so-nice side of the Sisters, Maureen soon changes her mind. Friended by Steven O’Hara, a rambunctious classmate whose mission is to infuriate the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, Maureen’s daily experiences of parochial school becomes full of surprises!

and the Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association. Participants will get hands-on instruction and practice dressing wild game, cutting meat, planning game menus, and preparing wild game for cooking. Come experience the taste of the wild! The event is open to men and women age 18 and older. Official check-in for the event begins on Friday evening (September 26) at 5 p.m., with hot food and an evening program starting at 7 p.m. Saturday is a full day of hands-on instruction and cooking, followed by a game dinner and entertainment ‘round the campfire with live music. The program wraps up at noon on Sunday. “This is a real back-

woods culinary adventure that will prepare you to savor the flavors of the wild,” said event organizer Gary Sleeper of the Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association. “Come enjoy a fall weekend in the natural beauty of the White Mountains while you learn from experienced wild game chefs and outdoorsmen.” In addition to learning

about cooking wild game, you’ll also be supporting a good cause. The event is a major fundraiser for Barry Conservation Camp, helping to ensure that the camp will be there to connect future generations of youth to the outdoor life. Learn more at http:// www.wildnh.com/barrycamp.

I predict that Woods will win one more Major, but that Nicklaus’ record of 18 will remain intact for all time. The next Major will be the Masters next April in Augusta, Ga. Here’s hoping that Tiger is healthy, and that he can win his first Major win in seven years, beating McIlroy on the final hole amidst record ratings for CBS Sports. That will revitalize pro golf for at least a couple years. (By the way, whatever happened to Rocco Mediate?)

KAYAKING THE MERRIMACK Is kayaking a sport? Well, like anything else, it is a sport only if there is a competitive component. So I guess my recent ten mile kayaking trip down the Merrimack River would have to be considered recreational. It was memorable because it was a perfect summer day— warm, sunny and breezy. Fish abounded and we saw all kinds of birds, including a bald eagle. I’m old enough to remember when the Merrimack was a cesspool, so it was a joy to see how beautifully clean the river is now. What was also memorable was the company. My friend, Fahim Fazli, the Hollywood actor and Afghan-American Marine Corps interpreter loved the experience—which complemented our hike up Mount Washington two days earlier. The kayaks were courtesy of Jose’ Cambrils, a wonderful friend from Penacook. Our river banter covered all kinds of subjects, but I’ll always remember Fahim and Jose finding common ground in their deep love for our country. Fahim’s family escaped Communist oppression in Afghanistan and Jose’s family escaped Communist oppression in Cuba. They expressed an appreciation for the wonders of America that most of us could never imagine. Live free or die! Sports Quiz Who won six straight Wimbledon singles tennis

artists using any or all media including watercolor, acrylic and oil paint, pastel and pen & ink! The Governor Wentworth Arts Council has been serving the local area schools and community for decades and this event does so in two ways. Joining in on September 6 is one way. Additionally, a portion of any sale of artwork will go toward GWAC for programs and offerings for local area community schools and libraries. Visiting with local artists is a great way to spend time with your family and have an intellectual discussion about the arts. The opportunity for your children to participate as artists just sweetens the deal. When

you are thinking of summer on the lake, seeing the experience through the eyes of a local artist is very special. Collecting art can be a sentimental experience, especially when purchasing a visual representation of your favorite place. What a great way to remember the summer of 2014. So set aside some time and visit the artists in Wolfeboro on Saturday, September 6 (rain date September 13) and add an artistic event to your weekend!

In case of inclement weather and colder temperatures, the individual exhibits will move inside to the Preferred Vacation Rentals property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank John Pernokus, owner of Durgin Park and Mark Borrin, owner of Preferred Vacation Rentals for their generosity in making these available for the Art Walk,â&#x20AC;? said Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Onofrio. The Northeastern Ballet Theatre will also be allowing those on the Art Walk to view a class or possibly an impromptu ballet performance on those Friday evenings. There will also be a variety of local musicians who will be playing on Durgin Green during the Art Walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really hope that these Art Walks will not only provide the community with a great Friday evening, but will also help to benefit many of our great local artists,â&#x20AC;? said Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Onofrio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also hoping that we will be able to get more sponsors to help support the music for future Art Walks.â&#x20AC;?

Fact: New York City has lost more officers in the line of duty than any other department, with 697 deaths. Texas has lost 1,675 officers, more than any other state. Just this week, NLEOMF released preliminary fatality statistics from August 2013 to August 2014. Total fatalities are up 14 percent, from 63 last year to 72 this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five officers were killed in ambushes, which continue to be a major threat to law enforcement safety,â&#x20AC;? the group notes. Among the men in uniform who gave their lives this summer: --Police Officer Scott Patrick of the Mendota Heights Police Department in Minnesota. He was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop on July 30. Patrick leaves behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

--Police Officer Jeffrey Westerfield of the Gary Police Department in Indiana. Westerfield was shot in the head and killed in a July 6 ambush while sitting in his police vehicle after responding to a 911 call. The suspect had been previously arrested for domestic violence and for kicking another officer. Westerfield, a 19-year police department veteran as well as an Army veteran, leaves behind a wife and four daughters. --Officer Perry Renn of the Indianapolis Police Department. He was shot and killed while responding to reports of gunfire on July 5. After 20 years on the job, Renn chose to serve in one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most dangerous areas, even though his seniority would have allowed him to take a less dangerous role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He chose to work in patrol to make a differ-

Renn is survived by his wife. --Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares, Jr. of the Vermilion Parish Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in Louisiana. The 15-year law enforcement veteran was shot and killed on June 23 while investigating two suspicious suspects. Bares had been mowing his lawn while off-duty when he witnessed a suspicious car crash. When he went to investigate, he was gunned down. The assailants stole his truck as he lay dying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of person that would give his shirt off his back to anybody,â&#x20AC;? a cousin said in tribute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyone that knows Allen will tell you that he was that kind of person.â&#x20AC;? Bares leaves behind a wife and two children.

a quarantine period, defined by the CDC in Atlanta, before any of these children from the Congo are allowed into Dover or any other towns in New Hampshire. Since the state of New Hampshire has been chosen by President Obama, to be the recipient of these children, would it not make sense to divide the financial and medical burden among other New Hampshire communities? Would it be fair to allocate these 500 children, maybe according to population, to Exeter, Madbury, Durham, Portsmouth, Concord, Salem, Plymouth, Hanover. Rochester, Dover, Keene, and Nashua rather than place the entire burden on only Dover? Maybe someone in those towns, Governor Hassan in Exeter, Jean Shaheen in Madbury, and Kelly Ayotte in Nashua, for example, may conclude it is Our Call.

these schools is so different from the demographic makeup of the city. But such differences between groups are common in countries around the world. But in each country there are people who say that it is strange -and demand a “solution” to this “problem.” In Malaysia, for example, before group quotas were established at the country’s universities, students from the Chinese minority earned more than 400 engineering degrees in the 1960s, while students from the Malay majority earned just 4. When a university was established in 19th century Romania, there were

more German students than Romanian students, and most of the professors were German. The same was true for most of the 19th century when a university was established in Estonia. In none of these cases did the group that was over-represented have any power to discriminate against groups that were under-represented. If racism is the reason why there are so few blacks in Stuyvesant High School, why were blacks a far higher proportion in Stuyvesant in earlier times, as far back as 1938? Was there less racism in 1938? Was there less poverty among blacks in 1938?

earlier Western sanctions on Russia, the French agricultural sector felt the financial pinch. French exports to Russia last year totaled $10 billion. Of that sum approximately one billion dollars is formed by agricultural products such as meat, vegetables, and wines. France’s long pampered and protected farming sector feels the pinch. The Socialist government thus rationalizes the military sale as necessary. Both the Vladivostok and the Sevastopol, when delivered will be based in the Black Sea port in Crimea, annexed by Russia earlier this year to the backdrop of world outrage.

enhanced and potent amphibious assault capacity. Given growing European political and military concerns over Moscow’s policies, there’s a quiet nervousness among the French over the ship deal, despite the economic benefits. As a former shipyard worker told me sarcastically, “Sure it’s good for business, but they (the Russians) are not going to throw it back at us, are they?” One wonders. John J.
