Bethlehem Heritage Society Keeps Mt. Agassiz History Alive

In 1955, like today, it was a tractor that provided the engine to pull the cart, except then it was disguised under the cleverly
designed metal shells that looked like real train engines. As members of the Bethlehem Heritage Society are focusing on collecting historical memorabilia from Mt. Agassiz, and other properties owned by F. Gordon Miller, they are putting out the call to anyone who might have one, or know of the whereabouts of these “train enSee agassiz on 22

The Town of Bethlehem, New Hampshire, is steeped in history. In the 1880s there were 1400 residents and thirty hotels; many of which were considered grand hotels. A recent trip down the Main Street, narrated live by Bethlehem historian Paul Hudson, brought to
life the history of many existing smaller cottages and the places where the now defunct grand hotels used to sit. The 45-minute trip was even more remarkable as we rode it, pulled by a Farmall tractor as we sat in what was the very conveyance which was once part of the “Magic Mountain Express.” Legend has it the car was once used to

The “Magic Mountain Express” makes it descent form Mt. Agassiz in Bethlehem in the 1950s. The mountain, once a popular White Mountain Attraction until 1966, is still privately owned but not catering to tourism. The Bethlehem Heritage Society has the original cart but is searching for one or both of the two engines that powered the trip up and Postcard courtesy Bethlehem heritage society down the mountain.

Today, July 30, 2012, marks a very significant day in my return to a somewhat normal life. Late this morning my custom made prosthesis arrived here at the Genesis Rehab Center in the city of Keene, the city in which Malzy’s made his home. I have been in rehab here since leaving the Catholic Medical Center. I’ve been in grueling rehab both at the Catholic Medical Center and here at Genesis. Based on what I’ve learned here, I sure hope, in the future, to avoid any type of nursing home environment. The fact that I’ve not gone mad is a tribute to my personal resolve, if I do say so myself. Late this morning I donned my new left leg for the first time. I found myself surprisingly well adapted to it, which is, I suppose, a tribute to the rehab work I’ve undergone for more than two months and a tribute to the husband and wife team who made my new leg here in Keene. I’ve been apprehensive about how adaptive I’ll be to walking on a prosthesis, since my balance has been impaired following my stroke in 2006. But this morning I stood hands free of any stabilizing assistance without toppling over! Today was the first step in the fitting of my new prosthesis, the goal of which is comfortable and irritation free wearing of the prosthesis.

I saw my surgeon Dr. Furey in her Wolfeboro office recently. When she saw a photo of the ramp leading in to my house, she expressed her doubts about my being able to negotiate it. My friend Scott Pulsifer drove me home so I could see for myself whether or not I could make it up and down my ramp. Here I am, enjoying the victory of my first successful ascent! This took place on day eight after my first time wearing my prosthesis. Scott Pulsifer took this shot with his cell phone. tolerance NH’s Best Mattress & for wearing the prosthesis has increased Rustic Furnituresubstantially Gallery! every day.
After only an hour or wear time, my residual limb showed some visible signs of skin irritation. I’m told that slowly, my skin will toughen and my tolerance for extended times wearing my prosthesis will increase. Also, my residual limb can be expected to shrink. Interestingly, I now wear a special “sock” over my residual limb that is woven to include some silver threads. The silver in this “sock” promotes the healing of any minor skin irritations that may have occurred. I also have a hereditary skin disorder called psoriasis that further complicates my adaptation to a prosthetic device. Nonetheless, my
My amputation was performed by Dr. Patricia Furey, a surgeon with the Surgical Care Group, which practices at the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire. I entered the Catholic Medical Center after a very brief stay at Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Many doctors, nurses and aides have examined Dr. Furey’s handiwork during the two + months since my amputation. I’ve heard nothing but praise for her surgical skill. This praise comes from those with trained

To The Editor: In response to Paul Ryan being named Mitt Romney’s VP, President Obama and his Democrat surrogates have been involved in political demagoguery in an attempt to mislead seniors into believing that Ryan wants to end Medicare. When one looks at the facts one will realize that the Ryan plan actually makes common sense reforms to allow Medicare to be available for both current seniors and future generations. The Medicare Board of Trustees whom many of which have been in their current positions for a long time and have no political loyalties have stated that Medicare will go broke by 2021. This prediction does not include the $761 billion that President Obama plans to take out of Medicare to fund Obamacare. What the President is really doing is redistributing money from the seniors who have paid into the Medicare system for their whole lives to give free health care to those who have not paid into the system. Obama’s only plan for Medicare is to have a panel of 15 unelected,
unaccountable bureaucrats decide how much or how little Medicare will pay doctors and which services Medicare will or will not allow doctors to provide for their patients. These are price controls which encourage more consumption and force doctors to charge their non-Medicare patients more. The results are higher costs for Medicare. This path will lead to many doctors refusing to see Medicare patients resulting in waiting lists and denied care for seniors. As a result, President Obama’s plan will further hasten the end of Medicare. On the contrary, Paul Ryan’s plan saves Medicare for current seniors and strengthens it for future generations. All seniors 55 and older would keep their current Medicare coverage without any changes. Current taxpayers and future generations are offered that same plan that members of Congress enjoy. Rather than putting the government in charge, the Ryan plan provides financial support to seniors to allow them the option to choose Medicare or private insurance companies. This will create competition between Medicare and pri-

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. 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 vicinity. Locally owned for over 20 years, this publication is devoted to printing the stories of the people and places that make New Hampshire the best place in the world to live. No, none of the daily grind news will be found in these pages, just the good stuff. 30,000 copies are distributed every week in the Lakes Region/Concord/Seacoast area. 15,000
delivered to communities along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and another 15,000 to neighboring cities and towns.

vate insurance companies to result in lower costs and higher quality of health care. The Ryan plan also ensures that lower income seniors and those with greater health risks receive greater support than wealthier seniors. The bottom line is who should be making health care decisions for you and your family: a panel of federal bureaucrats or you? Finally, Ryan’s plan was actually co-authored by liberal Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon. This shows Ryan’s willingness to work in a bipartisan fashion to solve one of the most complex issues facing our country today. President Obama on the other hand has been completely unwilling to work with Republicans in any fashion throughout his presidency and has failed to create a plan that will prevent Medicare from collapsing within the next ten years. Please join me in voting to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan this November. Brett Collopy Farmington, NH.

I was recently asked what the fuss was about in regard to the Mona Lisa. Since the question was probably not about my opinion, I thought I would discuss the painting; if not the woman. The most interesting thing about Mona Lisa is her expression. Or should I say her enigmatic smile? Her smile is a mystery. She might not be smiling at all. She has an expression that is hard to discern. Take a look and ask yourself, your friends or your family. You won’t get a consensus! That is part of the allure of this painting. In our tradition of putting things in tidy categories, her emotional state is baffling. I kind of like not knowing what she was thinking. A little mystery never hurt a woman, don’t you think? Mona Lisa is an old lady. Her image is so old that it is in the public domain. Consequently, Mona Lisa has been reworked by such greats as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali (complete with his eyes and moustache), and by Marcel Duchamp (one of my favorites). Duchamp’s image of Mona Lisa is a “readymade” or repurposed by Duchamp. You may like this sort of recycling or not, but his rendition has some letters on it that stand for something kind of naughty. I won’t make it that easy. You can find out for yourself what he said in French. Mona Lisa has been used in advertising to sell spaghetti sauce. I always liked when they use fine art to sell stuff but Mona Lisa seems to gain a lot of weight when she eats spaghetti. More intriguing to me are ads for hairspray in the geometric style of Mondrian or estate jewelry displayed on very old portraits. I never loved the fat Mona

For any mothers of daughters, it is about college girls who are encouraged, by a female professor, to pursue life goals other than marriage. That is, go to college for a degree, not the Mrs. Degree. Most likely, this will fall into generational categories. Personally, I want my daughter to go to college until she is 100 or until she gets her Ph.D., whichever comes first.
Did I mention that some people think Leonardo daVinci’s painting of the Mona Lisa is actually a painting of himself? There have been books written about this. Fact or book promotion? You decide!

The Liberal Sisterhood of The Plundering Hacks
Bitter Harvest WASHINGTON In December 2009, our commander in chief went to West Point and proclaimed that he would withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghaniby Oliver North stan by 2014. Syndicated Columnist Since then, he has proudly emphasized that “We are on a course to end this war responsibly.” Now U.S. and NATO troops and loyal Afghan soldiers and police officers are reaping the bitter harvest of the seeds that Barack Obama planted with those words. Over the last 10 days, in five separate incidents, seven American military personnel were killed in what used to be called “green on blue attacks” -- where Afghan soldiers or police have assaulted their U.S. and NATO counterparts. Thus far this year, 37 coalition troops and civilians have been killed in 29 incidents of what the Pentagon now calls “insider attacks.” According to
figures released by the NATO command in Kabul, there were 11 such events in all last year, resulting in 20 deaths. Until now, the Pentagon and NATO command in Kabul have maintained that these “sporadic incidents” were usually the consequence of “personal grievances” and “related to people getting into arguments.” In March, after an insider attack that killed two British commandos, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the assaults by individuals wearing Afghan police or military uniforms weren’t part of “any kind of broad pattern of activity.” That perception has been altered by events on the ground in Afghanistan. On Tuesday, following two attacks perpetrated by Afghan nationals that resulted in six Marines killed and two wounded, U.S. Gen. James Amos, Marine Corps commandant, took the unusual step of issuing guidance to all U.S. Marine leaders. Amos, it should be recalled by my media colleagues, co-authored the “CounterinsurSee north on 40
Hey, rem e m b e r when Nancy Pelosi and a gaggle of Democratic women vowed to eradicate Washington’s culture by Michelle Malkin o f c o r r u p Syndicated Columnist tion? Teehee. Instead of breaking up the Good Ol’ Boys Club, Capitol Hill’s leading liberal ladies have established their very own taxpayer-funded Sisterhood of the Plundering Hacks. This week, the names of two of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s gal pals surfaced in a mortifying, Animal House-style scandal. If the allegations of whistleblowers pan out, DHS may soon be known as DSH: The Department of Sexual Harassment. According to FoxNews.com’s Judson Berger, DHS chief of staff for Immigration and Customs Enforcement Suzanne Barr put herself on voluntary leave after details of her lewd behavior were disclosed as part of an ongoing discrimination and retaliation lawsuit. In “newly emerging affidavits,” Berger reported, “one of the employees claimed that in October 2009, while in a discussion about Halloween plans, the individual witnessed Barr turn to a senior ICE employee and say: ‘You a sexy (expletive deleted).’” Striking a blow for equal opportunity pervs everywhere, Barr “then looked at his crotch and asked, ‘How long is it anyway?’ according to the affidavit.”
Barr is accused of numerous other acts intended to “humiliate and intimidate male employees.” Yet another account from the lawsuit detailed Barr’s vulgar text messages to a colleague while on a boozy trip to Colombia. On the same junket, Barr allegedly offered to perform oral sex on another DHS employee. Barr, a lawyer who previously served as Napolitano’s director of legislative affairs when the DHS secretary was governor of Arizona, had no law enforcement experience before ascending the federal ranks. A few months after Barr followed Napolitano to DHS in 2009, another crony tagged along. Dora Schriro, who served as director of Arizona’s Department of Corrections under thenGov. Napolitano, was appointed by her BFF to head the Detention and Removal Operations office despite zero experience in that critical homeland security policy area. The suit claims that Schriro had a “longstanding relationship with (Napolitano)” that resulted in preferential treatment. A few plum posts here, a few plum posts there. Pretty soon, the sleaze piles up. But DHS has nothing on the public relations slush fund created by Obamacare -- and forked over to Obama on-air surrogate Kiki McLean. The longtime Democratic operative and selfdescribed “true D.C. insider” heads up the global public affairs division at Porter Novelli, which secured a $20 million contract to peddle Obamacare to the public. The firm claims it struck gold after a “competitive bidding process.” But members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have called

French Still Passionate for American Entertainment PARIS—One of the more common misperceptions in transatlantic relations is the near instinctive knee-jerk comby John J. Metzler ment that “the Syndicated Columnist French don’t like Americans.” That is unless you overlook much of the music on French radio which is American, a considerable segment of prime time TV are American programs, and a majority of the box office movie hits are produced in Hollywood ranging from Batman to Lorax. Many French have long decried the Americanization of France and ever potent challenge the English language poses to the language of Moliere. Franglais, the mix of English words with French, has been a bane of the self-appointed literary guardians for generations, but when it comes to pure entertainment, Hollywood holds its ground. Stroll past any of the cinemas on the Champs-Elysses, Montparnase, or any of the grand boulevards and it becomes stunningly obvious that “The Dark Night Rises,” over the City of Light. Take a look at the train station platforms and see advertisements for the new Schwarzenegger/Stallone thriller The Expendables 2. For example, during the last week of July, of the top ten box office hits across France, fully six of them were American movies. “The Dark Knight Rises” surged ahead of the list followed by Ice Age 4, The Amazing Spider Man, and Lorax. A few French- produced comedies followed, and then there’s Madagascar 3 and Trespass. Opening this week are Abraham Lincoln; Vampire Hunter, Lady Vegas (Lay the Favorite), and Step Up 4 (Sexy Dance: Miami Heat). Taking a wider view of box office hits over the past year, we find a strong Hollywood presence too although some top attractions such as the French made comedy the Intouchables leads the list. The still heavily state subsided French film industry without question turns out some impres-
sive films. The Artist, the nostalgic silent black and white film after all won five Oscars for Best Picture and Best Actor and Best Director. Indeed the French are a cinema oriented people with high rates of movie attendance. According to France’s National Cinema Centre, 2011 was “the best performance for local pictures since 1984…The market share for French films increased to 41.6% in 2011, against 35.7% in 2010.” Interestingly “The market share for American pictures fell, to 46%, against 47.6% in 2010.” And TV stations too reflect the very strong appeal of American dubbed programming from reruns of House and the newly popular Bones and Body of Proof. Just about every police and NCIS type show so familiar to American audiences are popular too. Though the French traditionally loved the Policier (detective) stories, now everything seems to be set in Miami, Malibu or Manhattan. Coming to think of it, that’s where large numbers of French tourists go too. And across the wide spectrum of French radio stations there’s a constant beat of American music from nostalgia to jazz to hip hop. Add French Rap and you see there’s also a strong copycat effect. The philosophers and the political doyens of the Rive Gauche will drone on about the French language and culture being under assault by the Americans: in one way it certainly is. Nonetheless, let’s not forget that in a free society selections, be they at the box office or the channel changer, cannot be pre-programmed but are reflected by personal choice. In the midst of a melancholy summer buffeted by both a stagnant economy and the uncertainty of the new Socialist administration’s direction, there’s always the escapist element offered by the cinema. It’s not the first time that Hollywood offers such a choice. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.
The Paul Ryan Choice Governor Mitt Romney’s choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his vice-presidential running mate is one of those decisions that seem obby Thomas Sowell vious -- if not Syndicated Columnist inevitable -in retrospect, even though it was by no means obvious to most of us beforehand. Anyone who wants to get a quick sense of who Paul Ryan is should watch a short video of a February 2010 meeting in which Congressman Ryan politely, but devastatingly, “schools” Barack Obama on the utter fraudulence of the statistics that the Obama administration was using to claim that ObamaCare would reduce the deficit. That video is available on the Drudge Report. As a long-time member, and now chairman, of the Budget Committee in the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan is thoroughly familiar with both the facts and the fictions in the federal government’s budget. In recent years, the fictions have grown much bigger than the facts. But, as Congressman Ryan reminded the president, hiding spending is not the same as reducing spending. If this year’s election is going to
be decided on the basis of hard facts, the Obama administration is doomed. But the Obama campaign is well aware of that, which is why we are hearing so many distracting innuendoes and outright lies about such peripheral issues as what Mitt Romney is supposed to have done while running Bain Capital -- or even what is supposed to have happened at Bain Capital, years after Mitt Romney was long gone. The Obama campaign’s big smear, about how Romney is supposed to have caused a woman to die of cancer, has been exposed as a lie by CNN, hardly a Republican network. What smears like this show is that the Obama administration cannot run on its track record, so it has to run on distractions from the country’s real problems. When Senator Harry Reid claims that Mitt Romney hasn’t paid his income taxes, and demands that Governor Romney disprove this unsubstantiated allegation, that raises an obvious question as to why the Internal Revenue Service has not prosecuted Romney, instead of leaving that to a partisan politician in an election year. What makes this a farce is that Senator Reid himself has not released his own income tax records, while claiming that Romney’s release of only two years of See Sowell on 28

Beware of Grimm’s Promises! With the NH Primary less than 3 weeks away we need to t h i n k a b o u t which Reby Niel Young publicans Advocates Columnist r e p r e sent common sense independent thinking fiscal and social conservatism. Jane Cormier of Alton is that type of person. Jane is working hard to earn the GOP nomination for District 8 consisting of Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton. As for me her opponent RINO Peter Bolster, check his voting record, Peter should be a member of Democrat Party re: state fiscal/social issues. From a Belknap County friend: “I remember when Peter was running the first time for Rep. He kept talking about reducing the spending but then a minute later say that we need to increase HHS budget by 10% or 15% because there are too many people that need food stamps and welfare. He is all for doing away with the work requirement for welfare, which is the same position BH Obama has.� Bolster was no help to those members of the County Delegation when on a 10-8 vote he and Elaine Swinford overrode a motion to help the county taxpayers using a percentage those who are working, can afford. Rep. Guy Comtois and Elaine are seeking the one seat. I would vote for Guy. ******** We have been spending time (radio) discussing the EBT card. Attorney friend in Massachusetts: “As the people footing the bill for this ‘right,’ why can’t we specify what people can
buy and not buy with EBT cards? High-end pastries just don’t seem like a necessity. Once you accept the benefit, you need to be able to accept the criticism, whether or not you are a veteran. And I’m a veteran.� Check out wezs. com for the podcast of the Saturday 8/18 program. ******** AMERICAN HERO: The 10 US Military men who lost their lives within the past week; have you heard about that? Perhaps Obama has not either. He is too busy out lying about himself on the campaign trail to care what is going on in Afghanistan. Wasn’t this the guy who promised to bring our troops home before 2013? This man’s center of his universe is HIM. If you are traveling through the Radford, Virginia area, be sure to visit “Crumb and Get It.� Chris McMurray and his wife opened their store in May. An advance team for Joe Biden dropped by to ask if for the photo-op Joe could do it there. Chris was a gentleman and declined this outstanding offer. GREAT AMERICAN Chris McMurray explained that he was not pleased that Obama insulted small businesses with “you didn’t build that.� Principle above profit - principles used to be important. ******** I think back to 2008. What did I gross back then....same as today? .......then why is it that Betty and I, our children, our grandchildren owe such an outstanding amount of money to the government in the coming years? Mark Twain: “I wasn’t worth a cent two years
ago, and now I owe two million dollars.� Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) “The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today� (1873.) ******** I know, we also have state elections in September and November. It’s just so exciting observing the candidates for Pres and Vice-Pres. Mitt is where conservatives wanted him to be, and in my opinion the GOP has the right VP candidate. Paul Ryan is definitely far more intelligent than “Plugs’ and the “Community Organizer.� Were you watching last week when Obama allowed so many lawbreakers to roam freely within our country? Barack, you worry about Romney’s tax returns, how do you plan to bring our troops home from Afghanistan before the bad guys playing good guys kill all of our soldiers inside the gates? ******** The new State Senate District 7 includes Laconia, Franklin, Gilford, Belmont, Canterbury, Northfield, Salisbury, Boscawen and Webster. Josh Youseff, one of the Republican Primary candidates asked me to sub for him at a Belknap GOP candidate’s night. During my years in the arena it was my duty to the voters to define myself and any opponent nothing personal. Due to the weaknesses of Josh’s opponent my approach was to pin him down on the issues. Bill Grimm failed! Watch him dance around the question of a state sales or income tax. He says he did sign “the Pledge�, and then adds “only for two years.� And some influential folks from Franklin are buying this? What did I say about principles? Google: See ahog on 29

High School Students Spend The Summer Helping Save Lakes For the fourth summer in a row, while most students and teachers enjoyed the summer off, a group of high school students and a Laconia teacher spent their summer working in the New Hampshire Lakes Associations’ (NH LAKES) Summer Youth Employment Program for Lake Protection (SYEP), saving area lakes like Lake Opechee, Lake Winnisquam, and Lake Winnipesaukee from polluted runoff water and unwanted aquatic plants. In partnership with the Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association and with support from the Dockham Shores Estates property owners association, the crew retrofitted the Dockham Shores Es-

tates beach in Gilford with several low-cost and easy to install lake-friendly landscaping techniques— these drainage improvement projects are already reducing the amount of runoff water that flows off of property and into Lake Winnipesaukee. Not only does the project help save the lake from pollution, it also beautifies the property and serves as a demonstration site where other property owners can learn how to construct similar drainage improvement projects on their own property. “The students worked incredibly hard through heat and humidity constructing rain gardens, infiltration trenches, See lakes on 15

and vegetated buffers at Dockham Shores,” explains Robie Parsons, NH LAKES Program Coordinator. “While the digging was not always easy, they persevered. Community members thanked the crew for their hard work as they visited the beach or strolled by on their morning walk—some even pitched in. We thank Dick Vaillancourt and Jim Smith from Dockham Shores Estates for their help—a couple of extra hands go a long way.” The students also spent time this summer working as Lake Hosts saving area lakes from the spread of invasive exotic aquatic plants. The students greeted boaters at public boat launches on Lake Opechee and Lake Winnisquam and offered to conduct courtesy boat and trailer inspections to remove hitchhiking plant fragments. Through the Summer Youth Employment Program for Lake Protection, NH LAKES has provided academically at-risk or financially disadvantaged high school youth with part-time jobs—for some students, their first job ever.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 23, 2012
by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer
On the Penn State Scandal I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dismal topic. But the more I think about the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent sanctions against Penn State football, the more agitated I become. A $60 million fine. A four-year postseason ban and reduction in scholarships. Erasing all the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victories from 1998 through 2011 from the record books. Ouch, ouch and OUCH! Of course there HAD to be consequences for the reprehensible actions of the pedophile assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. And there were. Sandusky is in prison for life. Legendary Penn State football head coach Joe Paterno was disgraced for covering up Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crimes -- his statue yanked down from in front of Beaver Stadium. Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been dead since January 22. And school administrators who failed to properly investigate Sandusky were fired long ago. So with the guilty dead, imprisoned or fired, the NCAA comes out and punishes all the innocent members of the Nittany Lion community, who were ALREADY suffering grievously from the scandal and its aftermath. The players didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t molest anyone or cover anything up. Neither did Penn State employees, cheerleaders, or members of any other Nittany Lion team, all of whom are seriously impacted by the sanctions on football, the revenues from which support all athletics and the univer-
sity itself. The alumni didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t molest anyone. Neither did the other brokenhearted Penn State fans from around the country. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ALL paying for Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crimes. Perhaps the NCAA wanted to make a dramatic example of Penn State as a warning to other universities to keep tabs on their people. But the Draconian penalties will more likely cause other school officials to over-react whenever they see any hint of impropriety. More innocent people will be hassled and unnecessarily punished. Aside from egregious conduct in lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;affaire Sandusky, Paterno and Penn State had deservedly acquired solid reputations for integrity and for doing things the right way, sports-wise. A year ago this university would have been the LAST major college that anyone could imagine getting such sanctions. Now cheating institutions like University of Miami play on, while an otherwise clean Penn State program is devastated. Nice job, NCAA. Nice job. Olympics Alert Weirs Times readers will recall my 2008 feature on sports in England, and how a lot of Brits were just not excited about hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. The United Kingdom was a fading power on the international scene AND the sports scene. One English sports person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Simon Chadwick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had been in touch with me after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard me interviewed on the BBC on NH Primary Day that Jan. 8. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spoken of my support for Mitt Romney â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d managed the enormously successful Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2002. Chadwick was a Professor of Sport Business, Strategy, and Marketing at the Coventry University Business
School and he indicated that many Brits were opposed to spending much money on the Olympics and they dreaded the inevitable inconveniences associated with the Games. The UK had won only nine gold medals at the previous (Athens) games and sports seemed increasingly irrelevant. Fast-forward to August, 2012. The UK won 29 Gold Medals (65 medals overall) and the country was awash in pride, not only in their teams, but about how well the London Games were conducted. The 2012 Olympics represented a marvelous success story that rekindled a new sense of celebration and patriotism in the host country. Look for the same phenomenon to occur in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it all delighted Dr. Chadwick.

eyes, the nurses of the Catholic Medical Center’s Rehabilitation Unit and the nurses of the Genesis Rehabilitation center in Keene, New Hampshire. Loyal readers may recall that it was Dr. Furey who cleared my left carotid artery of the corruption that had that vital artery nearly clogged. The General Practitioner who I have seen for many years following the death of Dr. Donald C. Walsh, has resigned his employment at Huggins Hospital in Wolfeboro and so when I was hospitalized with an infection in the heel of my left foot, I turned to Dr. Furey as my primary care physician beginning with my brief stay at Huggins. She immediately had me moved to the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, a fact that may have saved my life. The final stages of planning for my return to independent living at my beloved home in Wolfeboro were planned for in a meeting of department heads at the Genesis Rehab Center here in Keene. Malzy attended that meeting and in fact held some feet to the fire for some inappropriate threatening remarks that had been made, relative to my return to my home. It was no coincidence I am sure that the person who had made the inap-
propriate remarks that Malzy took exception to was conspicuous by her absence from the meeting. I guess she didn’t want to “stick her head in the tiger’s mouth,” as it were! Malzy has certainly made me proud for his outstanding advocacy on my behalf. The crafter of the inappropriate remarks did leave word of her apologies for Malzy and I. Time has passed and Thursday August 9th, I had an appointment to see Dr. Furey at her satellite office in Wolfeboro. Transportation became a problem in the way that many things can become a problem here at Genesis rehab. The Catholic Medical Center had, when arranging my transportation to Keene, recognized the medical necessity of not transporting me in a wheelchair van, but rather had arranged for a conventional ambulance. Genesis would not accommodate that necessity and so it became left to me to find a friend who would give me a ride from Keene to Wolfeboro and back to Keene so that I might avoid sitting for hours on end in an uncomfortable wheelchair! I’m blessed with at least one friend who would do that for me and so Scott Pulsifer drove from Campton to Keene to Wolfeboro to Keene See rambling on 19

and back to his home in Campton! Because I have a long and steep ramp at home, during my appointment, Dr. Furey became pessimistic about my ability to get in and out of my home without major and expensive changes being made to the ramp. My ever patient friend Scott, drove me to my house after my appointment with Dr. Furey so I could give the ramp a try. Try it I did, and surprise-surprise, I went into my house under my own steam, walking up and back down the
ramp on my prosthesis! Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going to be a challenge, but at least I know I can get in and out. Scott caught a photo so you may see the ramp and the guy who conquered it (me)!

New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ragged Mountain Resort recently announced over $1 million in resort improvements for the upcoming winter season. Most notably, the Exhibition trail, under New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only high-speed, six-person lift, becomes the second top-to-bottom trail at the Resort with fully computerized automated snowmaking. 50 of 100 new low-energy/ high-efficiency snow guns will be placed on Exhibition, with the rest used to bury other trails and resurface high-traffic areas around the mountain. There will also be five new fan guns, plus a new pump that will push 25% more water on both Ragged and Spear peaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this means for our guests is that we will be able to make more snow earlier in the season, using 50% less energy, with a goal of opening both peaks as early in December as possible,â&#x20AC;? said Bob Ashton, President of Ragged Mountain Resort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past two seasons, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve invested more than $2 million into snowmaking upgrades. As we begin our future expansion and development, we understand how important a state-of-the-art snowmaking and lift system is for our customers and our success.â&#x20AC;?

to them or at least let us know what happened to them. It would be nice to put them back into use.” Mt. Agassiz was called Peaked Hill until 1865 when Professor Louis Agassiz, at the age of 70, came to Bethlehem in 1865 to prove that the glacier of fifty million years ago did come through Bethlehem. He found the proof he needed on the far lower south side of the mountain. A few years later the town renamed Peaked Hill, Mt. Agassiz in his honor. “Mt. Agassiz has one of the best views in the north,” said Heritage Society member Dick Robie, “Of course Mount Washington is higher but you
never know when you will be in the clouds. Agasszi is always a more consistent view.” The view was Mt. Agassiz’s most prominent feature and also sparked interest in it as a tourist destination. In 1875, Charles Young and Milo J.Corliss bought Mt. Agassiz and built a carriage road to the top. It was opened it 1880 as well as a house with an observation tower on the roof at the summit. Tourists flocked to get a 365-degree viewing of the White Mountains. A tornado in 1884 knocked down the observatory and Corliss did not hesitate in building a new one the next season.
In 1901, Mt. Agassiz was now owned by Mr. O. Doloff of Lincoln, NH, who took it upon himself to make extensive improvements. Included in the renovations was a renovation to the carriage road. It took over one thousand pounds of dynamite. The road was now much safer to drive and improved its popularity. (It wasn’t until 1910 that the first automobile made the trip.) In 1904, Doloff took down the wooden observation tower and erected a 20’x20’ steel tower that was 33 feet high. (In 1911 the tower is hit by lighting three times See agassiz on 26

his income tax records is not enough, even though it has been enough for other candidates in other years. If Mitt Romney releases all his tax records going back to his childhood, it will not put a stop to this fishing expedition, much less bring an apology when those records show nothing illegal. It will just provide more material for making more distracting claims to change the subject from the track record of the Obama administration. When Ronald Reagan ran against President Jimmy Carter back in 1980, he asked the question that should be asked of the voters when any president is seeking reelection: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you better off than you were four years ago?â&#x20AC;? Four years later, when Reagan ran for reelection, he implicitly asked and answered that same question in a campaign commercial titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morning in America,â&#x20AC;? which listed the ways the country was better off than

This election is a test, not just of the opposing candidates but of the voting public. If what they want are the hard facts about where the country is, and where it is heading, they cannot vote for more of the same for the next four years. But, if what they want is emotionally satisfying rhetoric and a promise to give them something for nothing, to be paid for by taxing somebody else, then Obama is their man. This is not to say that the public will in fact get something for nothing or that rich people will just pay higher taxes, when it is easy for them to escape taxation by investing overseas -- creating jobs overseas. Even if most Americans do not have their own taxes raised, that means little, if they end up paying other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxes in the higher prices of goods and services that pass along the higher taxes imposed on businesses. There are no doubt voters who will vote on the basis of believing that Obama â&#x20AC;&#x153;caresâ&#x20AC;? more about them. But that is a faith which passeth all understanding. The political mirage of something for nothing, from leaders who â&#x20AC;&#x153;care,â&#x20AC;? has ruined many a nation.

for probes into that and other shady businessas-usual PR contracts. And HHS, headed by Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, is dragging its feet on meeting information requests. Such obstructionism is nothing new to Sebelius, whose tenure as Kansas governor is still the subject of an ongoing criminal court case against Planned Parenthood and the Sunflower Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health officials. Last year, the plaintiffs discovered that health bureaucrats presided over the â&#x20AC;&#x153;routineâ&#x20AC;? shredding of â&#x20AC;&#x153;documents related to felony charges the abortion giant faces.â&#x20AC;? Sebelius doggedly fought transparency motions in the proceedings for years. Are Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s female inspectors general watching out for taxpayers any better than their male counterparts? As the boys in my family like to say: negatory. Interior Department acting IG Mary Kendall is knee-stocking-deep in a conflict-of-interest scandal, which alleges that she potentially helped White House officials cover up their doctoring of scientific documents that led to the fraudulent, job-killing drilling moratorium of 2010. Acting Department of Justice IG Cynthia Schnedar, a longtime employee and colleague of now-Attorney General Eric Holder, has an ethics imbroglio all her own. As I reported in June, she worked under Holder in the 1990s and co-filed several legal briefs with him. Schnedar recklessly released secret Fast and Furious audiotapes to the U.S. Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in Phoenix before reviewing them. The tapes somehow found their way into the hands of the local ATF office. Both remain targets of congressional probes. Over on Capitol Hill, Democratic women are too preoccupied with their own nest-feathering and backside-covering to police the Obama admin-
istration: California Democratic Rep. Laura Richardson, a tax dodger and loan defaulter, received a House ethics wrist slap two weeks ago after investigators concluded she had â&#x20AC;&#x153;improperly pressured her congressional staffers to work on her campaign, verbally abused and intimidated them, used taxpayer-funded resources for personal and political activities, and obstructed the investigation,â&#x20AC;? as the Los Angeles Times summed it up. Fellow California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faced an ethics trial over her meddling in minority-owned OneUnited Bank. The financial institution, in which her husband had invested, received $12 million in federal TARP bailout money after Watersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office personally intervened and lobbied the Treasury Department in 2008. Nevada Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley faces a formal House ethics investigation into charges that she abused her position to benefit her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business interests. And investigative author Peter Schweizer exposed House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smelly Obamacare insider deals involving the initial public offering of credit-card company Visa.

Two of the most wideranging and common woodpeckers are the downy and hairy spe-
or
cies. These two birds are almost identical in appearance. Some people consider the smaller downy woodpecker to be the offspring of the larger hairy woodpecker. However, these two wild, clinging feathered friends are very different in many ways. The downy is a sparrow-sized bird whereas the hairy is closer to the size of a large robin. Hence, the hairy weighs almost three times as much as the smaller
you are privileged to view both species side by side, the bill lengths would be the most apparent, distinguishing feature. The downyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail feathers are spotted while the hairyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appendages are usually pure white. The sounds of these two woodpeckers are also different. Yes, woodpeckers do communicate with song notes, not just tapping on trees. The call note of the hairy is both sharper and louder.

Hairy Woodpecker downy woodpecker. The young of each species will resemble the corresponding adults in terms of size and color. Each species is entirely independent of each other and should not be confused in terms of kinship. The bills or beaks of both birds are useful guidelines for identification. The smaller downy woodpecker has a short, stocky beak that is less than the length of the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. The large hairy has an extremely long beak that is almost twice the length of the adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head. If

Speaking of drilling, the hairy also can be heard employing a louder, shorter drumming with greater intervals than the downy. In turns of sociability, the smaller downy will travel with roving bands of other wild bird species in search of food. It will not show aggressive behavior toward other birds while feeding as the larger hairy does. The hairy is more likely to journey alone and is very timid when confronted by humans. Both birds have a range from coast to See bird on 46

Chertock is well known to Friends of Music audiences having performed in Wolfeboro several times to rave reviews. A Montreal reviewer wrote: “Chertock revealed himself as a firstrate pianist and an interpreter of noticeable interest through the freshness that he brought to these familiar scores... (he) dis-
such conductors as Keith Lockart, Erich Kunzel and Andrew Litton. This is the first of eight programs presented by Wolfeboro Friends of Music to people of the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $25 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; or at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling (603) 569-2151; or by visiting the website: www.wfriendsofmusic.org.

The Manhattan Transfer comes to The Great Waters Music Festival in Wolfeboro on Friday, August 24th at 8pm. His dream was to form a harmony vocal quartet. Tim Hauser was just trying to pay his bills by driving a New York City taxi in the fall of 1972 when an aspiring young singer by the name of Laurel Masse needed a cab. A few weeks later, one of his fares by the name of Janis Siegel

popular music. The Manhattan Transfer will perform at the Kingswood Arts Center on Friday, August 24th at 8:00 p.m. The Festival welcomes TD Bank as a major sponsor of this performance. Additional sponsors of this performance are Ballentine Partners, Marsh and The Laker. Tickets are available by calling the Great Waters Music Festival office at 603-569-7710, stopping by the office at 15 Varney Road, Wolfeboro or on line at www. greatwaters.org. Hauser grew up in New Jersey and began to sing professionally at the age of 15. A graduate of Villanova, he began his adult career in marketing. Because of his love for music and his strong desire to sing, Hauser left the Madison Avenue scene in the late 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and formed the first version of The Manhattan Transfer. Due to differences of opinions among
members of the group as to which direction they should take, the group disbanded in the early 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In 1972, Hauser, Masse, Siegel and Paul became the second version of The Manhattan Transfer and they released their self-titled debut in 1975. A sin gle from th e a lbum, Operator, gave the group its first national hit, eventually peaking in the Top 20. In 1978, Masse was injured in an automobile accident and d e c i d e d not to rejoin the group in California after her convalescence. Cheryl Bentyne, a member of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Deal Rhythm Bandâ&#x20AC;?, auditioned for the spot and was chosen to become a partner in the group. Their first Grammy Award was for Best Jazz Fusion Performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Birdlandâ&#x20AC;?. In 1981, the group made music history when they became the first group to win Grammy Awards for both pop and jazz cat-

gency Manual” with Gen. David Petraeus; it was used as the guidebook for the fight in Afghanistan. In his letter dated Aug. 14, 2012, Amos notes that the recent assaults “were carefully crafted to drive a wedge between us and our Afghan partners.” Importantly, he also warned his Marines: “More of these types of spectacular attacks can be expected...” A day after the Amos message went out, Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged at least partial reality in a Pentagon press conference. They now say the Taliban is “resorting to these kinds of attacks to create havoc.” But in that same press conference, Panetta, perhaps forgetting this is not a conventional war, claimed that “the Taliban has not been able to regain any territory lost...” During the Q and A with reporters, Dempsey announced new measures
Interior/Exterior Remodeling m-dcarpentry@hotmail.com
to ameliorate the threat: the formation of a Joint Casualty Assessment Team -- JCAT -- to evaluate every aspect of each attack, increased counterintelligence “expertise” and a “conference” of “one-stars and above” to develop “thoughts about what more we might do.” Unfortunately, the Pentagon’s fixes won’t fix the problem of increasing insider attacks. We currently have 84,000 U.S. troops on the ground in Afghanistan. The Obama administration insists on dropping that number to 68,000 before the presidential election in November -- while simultaneously growing Afghan National Security Forces from 332,000 to more than 350,000. That’s mission impossible. The JCAT idea might have been a good one back in 2007, when NATO first began to tally insider attacks. Any study the JCAT produces now will be good for the history books but unlikely to stop the carnage over the next

12 months. Improved intelligence on those entering, and counterintelligence about those already in the Afghan police and military services, would be a great idea. But institutional arrogance in U.S. intelligence agencies mandates a reliance on signals intelligence, SIGINT, not human intelligence, HUMINT, that would actually be effective in screening out and detecting Taliban infiltrators. And if the Pentagon brass wants to know what needs to be done to mitigate the risk of these attacks, they ought to forget about a conference of generals and solicit ideas from the lieutenants and captains in the field who are living, fighting and dying beside loyal Afghan counterparts. Finally, in what can only be a total lack of situational awareness, there is Panetta’s assessment that insider attacks are designed to “create havoc” and his comment that success is measured

by keeping the Taliban from regaining “any territory lost.” The radical Islamists in Afghan police and military garb who kill Americans don’t care about territory. And havoc is simply a subsidiary effect -- collateral damage -- of an insider attack. The perpetrators of these assaults on American and NATO personnel have but one goal: killing an infidel. Obama planted the seeds for all this when he publicly announced a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops. His deadline is fertile ground for jihadis who know that their “window of opportunity” for murder is closing. We should expect the bitter harvest of “green on blue attacks” to produce a bumper crop of American casualties -- unless we hire a new commander in chief who knows how to fight a war and win.

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This week could offer more opportunities for ambitious Lambs eager to get ahead. But don’t rush into making decisions until you’ve checked for possible hidden problems. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some light begins to shine on professional and/or personal situations that have long eluded explanation. Best advice: Don’t rush things. All will be made clear in time. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you might want to protest what seems to be an unfair situation, it’s best to keep your tongue and temper in check for now. The full story hasn’t yet come out. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Work prospects are back on track. But watch what you say. A thoughtless comment to the wrong person -- even if it’s said in jest -- could delay or even derail your progress. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A colleague might try to goad you into saying or doing the wrong thing. It’s best to ignore the
troublemaker, even if he or she riles your royal self. Your supporters stand with you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful not to let your on-the-job zealousness create resentment with co-workers who might feel you shut them out. Prove them wrong by including them in your project. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although it’s not quite what you hoped for, use your good business sense to make the most of what you’re being offered at this time. Things will improve down the line. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A more positive picture of what lies ahead is beginning to take shape. But there are still too many gaps that need to be filled in before you make definitive plans. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Continue to keep a tight hold on the reins so that you don’t charge willy-nilly into a situation that might appear attractive on the surface but lack substance.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You still need to demand those answers to your questions. Remember, your wise counseling earns you respect, but it’s your search for truth that gives you wisdom.
Photo #397 Winning Captions:
OUR PICK FOR BEST CAPTION ENTRY...
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’ll find that people are happy to help you deal with some difficult situations. And, of course, knowing you, you’ll be happy to return those favors anytime. Won’t you?
“You gave up golf for THIS? -Tom Hopwood, Meredith, NH.S
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Give that special someone in your personal life a large, loving dollop of reassurance. That will go a long way toward restoring the well-being of your ailing relationship. BORN THIS WEEK: You are a delightful paradox. You like things neat and tidy. But you’re also a wonderful host who can throw a really great party.
Runners Up Captions: “Jiminy Crickets, Gus! You weren’t foolin’! That dang thing does have milk in there.” -Frank Westberg III, Holderness, NH.

Author Lee Child Joins Music Hall’s Writers In The Loft Series
PORTSMOUTH - The Portsmouth Music Hall’s Writers in the Loft series welcomes novelist Lee Child with his new work, A Wanted Man, the latest in the Jack Reacher series, on Thursday, September 13th. The 7:30pm event will be held at the Music Hall Loft located on 131 Congress Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In addition to the Writers in the Loft stage production at 7:30pm, which includes an author presentation, moderated Q+A, beverage, book, and a book signing reception, the author will personalize copies of A Wanted Man purchased at The Music Hall in the Loft theater from 5:30-6:30pm. “We’re opening our doors to Lee Child fans who cannot attend the 7:30pm event but who want to get a signed book and say hello,” said Executive Producer Patricia Lynch. “Tickets are moving very quickly for this stage event. We expect it to sell out, and we want to make sure everyone gets the opportunity to meet this master of suspense!” A Wanted Man is the 17th book in the Jack Reacher series, and picks up where Worth Dying For
Author Lee Child will be at Portsmouth Music Hall’s loft on Thursday, September 13th at 7:30pm. left off. “Reacher walked under the bridge and set up on the eastbound ramp, one foot on the shoulder and one in the traffic lane, and he stuck out his thumb and smiled and tried to look
friendly.” On a lonely Nebraska road, Reacher is trying to hitchhike his way out of the Midwest and hopefully east to Washington, DC. Finally, two men and a woman pick him up and they set off—
