COMPLIMENTARY

Sportsmen’s Group Hoping To Keep Mission Alive

The Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association (BCSA) was organized on April 16, 1931. At that first meeting there were one hundred and thrifty enthusiastic residents. Today, eighty five years later, there are four hundred and twenty-nine members and the organization is staffed today, as it has always been, by member volunteers. Today they are also close to losing their clubhouse on Lily Pond Road in Gil-

ford and may have to close down operations for good. When the club was first formed there was no meeting hall and meetings were held in various grange halls. Their goal and mission statement then, as it is today, was in providing opportunities for people, young and old, to experience the outdoors as well as to educate them in environmental and conservation programs and the strict adherence to the Fish and Game Laws of the See bcsa on 28

“The New Hotel Weirs” At Lake Winnipesaukee Museum On Wednesday, September 21st at 7pm, the Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society will present the program “The New Hotel Weirs” presented by Robert Ames The Hotel Weirs originated as The Diamond Island House. Besides the hotel, Diamond Island featured a bowling alley and dancing pavilion. This was a popular location during the 1860’s and into the 1870’s. Then it became known as a gambling den and lost popularity. Around 1880 The Diamond Island House was cut into sections and hauled over the ice to the Weirs. It is said that as the last section reached the steamboat landing it slid into the water. It took every available oxen in the county to set it right. It became known as the Hotel Weirs. There was a period of time around 1893 that it was called Sanborn’s after the first owner. By the late 1890’s it went back to being the Hotel Weirs. At that time the hotel underwent a huge expansion and was called the New Hotel Weirs. In the evening of November 9th, 1924, a fire which started in the Music hall spread to a total of twelve structures including the New Hotel Weirs. This event is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members, for non members there is a $5 fee with all proceeds going to benefit the Historical Society’s ongoing renovations. They are located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 366-5950.

New to Upstairs, Downtown: learn about the history and envision the future of the former Department of Employment Security on South Main Street; step into the set of The Neverending Story, also known as the attic of Concord’s City Hall; and see the progress on the former Sacred Heart Church, where tour attendees can view its transformation into market-rate condominiums. Also, have you wondered what’s behind the blue wall at the intersection of North Main and Centre Street? It’s Remi’s Block – future site of 22 marketrate apartments and 3 new retail/restaurant spaces, currently under construction!

Lost Weekend

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Last week I lost my pants. That might not seem like such a big deal. After all, who doesn’t own a second pair of pants or even a third or a fourth? In this case, this particular pair of pants were the only ones that could get the job done. My wife Kim and I were at a hotel. It was the day of the big event, the marriage of my niece. This wasn’t just a simple backyard wedding, but one of those grand affairs that was in the planning stages for over a year. There was the church with about two hundred guests in attendance and then a truly magnificent reception that followed. This was one of those occasions that suits were created for. We were even to be seated in the third row and at the first table. All eyes would be upon us. This was no time for a mere pair of slacks and a matching sports coat. It was time to bring out the big guns. I hadn’t worn my suit in a while. I’m pretty sure the last time was when we were married in 2013. I found it in the closet with the tags from the dry cleaner still attached. Had it really been that long, would it still recognize me? More concerning, would it still fit? There had been more than a few pizzas, beers and other delicious carbohydrates consumed in the years in between. It was a bit snug, nothing that a couple of mornings

on the treadmill and a few less pieces of bread over the next couple of weeks wouldn’t cure. After all, it only had to be worn this one time and then back in the closet for a few years. Plus, the bread had a long shelf life and would be there when I came back for it. There were only a few other minor inconveniences like finding a tie that would match the suit and my wife’s tastes. I packed up the suit and put it away, not to be thought about again until the time for the wedding. The wedding took place in Middletown, New York, 260 miles away. It was a beautiful and traffic free Labor Day ride across Keene, NH into Vermont, over Albany, New York and down to Middletown. It was a great start. After we arrived and all of the clothes, sundries, gifts, etc, etc, were brought in from the car to the hotel, it was time to relax. The wedding was the next evening and it was time to catch up with family. After a comforting night’s sleep and a day of relaxing, the afternoon called us to the task. It was time to get ready for the wedding. Of course, I waited until the last minute to prepare and finally went to get my suit from the closet. That is when panic set in. There were no suit pants. There were no pants on the hangar, none in the closet, none on the floor of the closet. I went outside to check the car. No pants. Times was down to minutes. We decided I would just have to wear my jeans. There were no other options. I put them on. It didn’t look all that bad. I had seen this look before with a suit jacket and a tie at a wedding. All I would need was a clip on ponytail, an unlit pipe and a hardcover copy of the works of Wil-

liam Makepeace Thackery that I could pretend to read during the cocktail hour, and I could pull it off. After all, I could tell people truthfully with a straight face that I am a writer and they wouldn’t think twice about my attire. They’d expect nothing less. Now that I was in this frame of mind I even considered the suit jacket, tie and shorts look to go with the ponytail, etc, but I was afraid people would assume then that I had my doctorate and it might lead to embarrassing conversations. Anyway, there was no time to buy such accessories. In the meantime, Kim had gone off on what I thought was a fruitless search to the front desk to see if by some crazy miracle my pants might be there. They weren’t. I had accepted my fate, was even starting to get into the role of a snobby writer and practiced looking down my nose and trying to recall some unfamiliar quotes from Shakespeare. Most importantly, I was trying to figure out how to explain this to my mother, who would not be happy to see me at the wedding in jeans. Then a knock on the door. It was the front desk clerk. In his hands my missing pants. The housekeepers had found them. Apparently they had slipped off the hangar somewhere en route from car to hotel room. A wave of disappointment crossed my mind for just a second when I realized that now I’d really just be another guy at the wedding in a suit. I got over it. The wedding was a blast and my mother never knew what might have been. www.BrendanTSmith. com

Think Carefully To The Editor: With 13,000 alternatives to choose from I wonder: Why is PP so important to Democrat politicians that they demand spending your taxpayer money to support PP so enthusiastically? This is especially puzzling since the services PP offers, with their highly paid executives, is readily available from other local sources. According to The Daily Signal, August 17, 2015 more than 13,000 non Planned Parenthood (PP) health clinics offer comprehensive women’s health services across the USA, as contrasted with only 665 PP offices. Interestingly when one looks at the Open secrets dot org web site under Planned Parenthood, Influence and Lobbying tab and scroll down a few pages, we find the following: Independent Expenditures: $3,467,881 For Democrats: $2,099,244 Against Democrats: $0 For Republicans: $343,175 Against Republicans: $1,260,468 Electioneering Communications: $0 Communication Costs: $252,727 Might this be a “smoking gun”? In any rational mind, Democrat politicians earmarking taxpayer money to go to PP only to have PP route much of it back to Democrats is money laundering. When a Republican objects to these PP shenanigans the liberal press headlines can now say: “Re-

Our Story

publicans are anti-women bigots!” or “Republicans hate women!” My bet is that most all Republicans most all Independents and many Democrats don’t know about this quid pro quo and if they did would not approve. I think it is safe to say: The liberal press cares more about bashing Republicans than they do about reporting facts. Democrat politicians care less about women’s health than they do in stealing your tax dollars. Think carefully America, elections have consequences, especially this one! Dave Rivers Thornton, NH.

Misquoted To The Editor: I was pleased to read the story about the Wright Museum having a Pearl Harbor exhibit. This is a very important part of our history. I was not pleased to read in the story that you once again misquoted the speech that President Roosevelt made to Congress on December 8, 1941 President Roosevelt”s exact words at the beginning of his speech were... “December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” The president’s entire speech can be found online at the American History web site. I hope in future stories

that you will get this quote correct. Gordon D. King Laconia, NH. We stand corrected and thank Mr. King. To clarify what the error was, we stated the quote is “A day which will live in infamy....” The actual quote is “A date which will live in infamy...” -ed.

Manipulated By Democrats To the Editor: Psychology is a pseudoscience, that tries to explain human nature, in many ways it utterly fails to explain the individual, his responsibility to exercise his free will, the spiritual dimensions of man, or his relationship to his Creator and the influence of other spiritual entities on an individuals life. This renders it almost useless as a tool to help individuals; as can be seen by the state of our society. I say almost for used in a Christian context it does have some value. Unfortunately what it is often used for is the manipulation of large segments of the population to accomplish the desired result of the person or group applying it; as grocery stores use of it in laying out the floor plan of their stores to maximize sales. What is more diabolical is its use in manipulating large blocks of the population into voting blocks. You don’t need a tool that is helpful to individuals See mail boat on 37

BoSOX! The Red Sox are in a pennant race! As September unfolds, the drama builds. Whatever happens, it’s nice to have September baseball mean something around here again. The BoSox finished last three of the past four years. And five years ago the team suffered the greatest September collapse ever. At this writing, it looks like the last two series of the season will determine Boston’s fate. The Sox are in Yankee Stadium for three gam es f r om Sept 27-29. If the Yankees remain in the hunt this showdown could be classic. Then the Sox return to Fenway Park to close out the season with three games against a Blue Jay team that’s been in first place most of the year.

Whatever happens during the season’s last week, at least the Sox made it interesting this year. After the Toronto See moffett on 36

TOM BRADY VS. HILLARY Though the presidential campaign is heading down the home stretch, a distressing number of New Englanders can’t name Hillary Clinton’s or Donald Trump’s backups (vice-presidential picks). But football fans throughout the region know that Jimmy Garoppolo is Tom Brady’s b a c k - u p. Jimmy G is starting the first four games of the season for the Patriots, due to Brady’s suspension. This is old news to local sports fans, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Brady for his alleged involvement in tampering with footballs before a 2015 playoff game with Indianapolis that the Patriots won 45-7. Goodell’s rationale for imposing the suspension involved Brady not providing requested cellphone information. Brady’s failure to respond satisfactorily to Goodell’s request did him in. The courts denied Brady’s appeal. Fair enough. But with the aforementioned presidential election fast approaching, many wonder why candidate Clinton received a free pass from the system when she erased thousands of e-mails and when her people took hammers to destroy phones to which investigators sought access. This was blatant obstruction of justice. abin R stBrady paying y CSo whyuis i z o such a steepc price while s

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, September 15, 2016

Sicko Terrorist Lynne Stewart: Still Hating Cops Old age and illness have not dulled the tongue or treasonous soul of convicted jihad-enabling lawyer Lynne Stewart. She’s as vile by Michelle Malkin and violenceSyndicated Columnist promoting as ever. Freed from prison two years ago on “compassionate release” after being diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, the flaming 76year-old radical is still championing left-wing massacres against the police. And still kicking America in the teeth. The Associated Press reported over the holiday weekend that the mouthy menace remains stubbornly devoted to “armed struggle.” Translation: Sicko Grandma Stewart -- as unrepentant and unapologetic as the rest of her rotten hippie pals in the bloodthirsty Weather Underground, Black Liberation Army and Black Panther movement -- continues to endorse murdering her ideological enemies in the name of peace and social justice. “Armed struggle,” is that what she would callously call the 9/11 jihad attacks on 3,000 innocent men, women and children? It’s what she calls domestic terrorist attacks on our police officers. Stewart was sent up the river in 2005 after a jury found her guilty of helping terrorist Omar AbdelRahman -- the murderous Blind Sheik -- smuggle coded messages of Islamic violence to outside followers in violation of an explicit pledge to abide by her client’s court-ordered isolation.

Rahman’s idea of armed struggle: Calling on Muslims to “destroy” the West and “burn their companies, eliminate their interests, sink their ships, shoot down their planes, (and) kill them on the sea, air, or land.” Rahman greenlighted terror against Americans that led to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1997 massacre of Western tourists in Luxor, Egypt, the USS Cole bombing and 9/11. Stewart helped foment even more violence by defying the trial judge’s communications ban and transmitting Rahman’s edicts of violence to his followers. “From the moment she committed the first act for which she was convicted, through her trial, sentencing and appeals,” Judge Robert Sack of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, “Stewart has persisted in exhibiting what seems to be a stark inability to understand the seriousness of her crimes.” It’s not that she’s unable to understand. Sicko Grandma Stewart just doesn’t give a flying knitting needle. Yet, despite her barbaric lack of compassion for her fellow Americans slaughtered by the Islamic jihadists and murderous radicals she aided and adored, the Obama administration pushed successfully to spring her. Why? Connect the dots. They’re family. Barack Obama was best buds with Chicago neighbor and convicted Weather Underground domestic terrorist Bill “guilty as sin, free as a bird” Ayers.

September 11th Shadows U N I T E D NATIONS— On a picture perfect September morning, the Grim Reaper struck in New York. Hijacked airby John J. Metzler craft slammed Syndicated Columnist into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center shattering the myth that terrorism “can’t happen here.” Before long, the towers were like two belching black smokestacks set against the azure blue sky. America was under direct attack. As I wrote fifteen years ago, and still assert, September 11th, 2001 became this generation’s Pearl Harbor. The unprovoked attack on, in this case, iconic civilian targets by Al Qaida terrorists would set the political template for a generation much as Imperial’s Japan’s December 7, 1941 attack on Hawaii would trigger a reluctant America’s

entry into WWII. The docile rationalization “it can’t happen here” literally went up in smoke on September 11th. The fundamental difference between the two attacks was that in 1941, the swarms of attacking aircraft carried the symbol of the red rising sun, and the aggressor had a home address: Japan. In the case of September 11, the shadowy terrorist Al Qaida network was then based in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which had become home base for the Osama Bin Laden network. Stated another way, we knew where to find the perpetrators of Pearl Harbor whereas responding decisively to Al Qaida has assumed an ongoing war against shadows in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan and beyond. The counter thrust against radical Islamic terrorism remains the conflict of a generation; we may be only about half See Metzler on 33

The Back To School Edition

You could almost hear the sighs of relief across the state these last couple of weeks as parents sent their chilby Ken Gorrell dren back to Northfield, NH. school. It’s been an annual late-summer ritual for longer than any of us can remember. And like most rituals, it’s an activity few think much about. It’s just what we do; this year same as last year. And that’s a problem. Two problems, in fact: educational and fiscal. Educationally, it’s a problem because our public schools have become fortresses of mediocrity. They may not be particularly good at meeting the needs of those locked inside, but they’re great at keeping at bay the forces of change. Eighthgraders may test at 30%- 40% proficiency in math year in, year out, but we keep sending them back for more of the same. Many defend the status quo against those who dare question the dismal results. Fiscally it’s a problem because, even as they fail to make the grade, they suck up more wealth from the nation’s economy. The education establishment’s answer to the question “How much money do you need to do the job?” comes straight from

the mouth of Edward G. Robinson’s Key Largo character, the gangster Johnny Rocco: “More!” When asked if he’ll ever get enough, Johnny said, “Well, I never have.” And that’s Big Education’s answer, too. Much electronic ink has been spilled pointing out Big Ed’s shortcomings, with solutions shaped by authors’ vested interests, either financial or intellectual. Charter schools, education savings accounts, more technology, better pay for teachers, more choice for parents, universal pre-K, and of course, more money. The list seems endless. But even its most ardent advocates understand that something isn’t right with American public education. Their cry for “More!” is tacit recognition of that fact. Businesses focus on return on investment when allocating resources. New technology, new personnel, or changes to processes and procedures all come with an ROI calculation. It either decreases costs or improves the product, and preferably both. I have personal experience with this. Though I had been a valued employee at a global defense firm, I found myself, to use the British phrase, “surplus to requirements” and let go. The company decided that my team could be consolidated (i.e., shrunk) and much of what we had been doing could be automated. As a higher-cost employee in the wrong location, I was on the wrong side

of the ROI calculation. It wasn’t personal; just business. When I pose the ROI question to the school board and superintendent at our annual school district meetings, I am met with a sad-cow-eye stare. ROI doesn’t factor into their calculations, as

it must with businesses. But without ROI, we need something else to guide our education spending decisions. I suggest an analysis of alternatives. We must look at each dollar and ask ourselves, “What See gorrell on 37

Misleading Statistics Mark Twain famously said that there were three kinds of lies -- “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Since this is an election year, we can expect by Thomas Sowell to hear plenSyndicated Columnist ty of all three kinds. Even if the statistics themselves are absolutely accurate, the words that describe what they are measuring can be grossly misleading. Household income statistics are an obvious example. When we hear about how much more income the top 20 percent of households make, compared to the bottom 20 percent of households, one key fact is usually left out. There are millions more people in the top 20 percent of households than in the bottom 20 percent of households. The number of households is the same but the number of people in those households is very different. In 2002, there were 40 million people in the bottom 20 percent of households and 69 million people in the top 20 percent. A little over half of the households in the bottom 20 percent have nobody working. You don’t usually get a lot of income for doing nothing. In 2010, there were more people working fulltime in the top 5 percent of households than in the bottom 20 percent. Household income statistics can be very misleading in other ways. The number of people per household is different among different racial or ethnic groups, as well as from one income level to another, and it is different from one time period to

another. The number of people per American household has declined over the years. When you compare household incomes from a year when there were 6 people per household with a later year when there were 4 people per household, you are comparing apples and oranges. Even if income per person increased 25 percent between those two years, average household income statistics will nevertheless show a decline. When the income of 4 people rises 25 percent, this means that 4 people are now making the same income as 5 people made in an earlier time. But not as much as 6 people made before. So household income statistics can show an economic decline, even when per capita income has risen. Why do so many people in the media, in academia and in politics use household income statistics, when the number of people per household can vary so much, while individual income statistics always mean the average income of one person? Although individual income statistics can give a truer picture, not everyone makes truth their highest priority. Alarming news that household incomes have failed to rise, or have actually fallen, is more exciting news for the media, or for alarmists in academia or in politics. Such alarming news can attract a larger audience for the media, and can justify an expansion of government programs dear to the heart of academics on the left, or to politicians who just want more power to hand out goodies and collect more votes from the beneficiaries. Even individual income statistics have pitfalls when they See Sowell on 37

When the President of the United States takes a vacation it is bound to arouse the curiosity of the people of the country, and when his destination is the State of New Hampshire, you can be sure it won’t go unnoticed by its citizens. President Warren Harding chose Lancaster, in New Hampshire’s north country, as his August, 1921, vacation location. Thanks to an account of that trip published in the Boston Globe newspaper on August fifth of that year and other sources I can pass on some details of his vacation. President Harding’s specific destination was the home of Secretary of War John W. Weeks on Mount Prospect. Actually, the Globe article said that the President’s trip would not be called a vacation but “…a period of recreation in the life of one of the busiest men of the country.” He travelled to Portland, Maine, on the Presidential yacht, Mayflower, after a stop at Plymouth, Massachusetts, and then went by automobile the 140 miles to Lancaster. “ The President must have his golf…” we are told, and interrupted his trip intending to play nine holes, but played eighteen instead, putting him behind schedule. It was after eight in the evening when he arrived in the town of Whitefield where people had been waiting since 2 p.m. to see him. Pres. Harding stopped to greet the crowd and give a

Prospect at ten, but the small links were not good enough for Harding, so he went to a larger course. Personnel from golf courses from miles around tried to persuade the President to use their facilities, with one reportedly even offering to erect a bronze plaque at the spot the chief executive’s first golf ball landed. It seems that when a United States President takes a vacation that some kind of controversy is likely to arise, and the one in August of 1921 was on a local level. The people of Lancaster had been instructed not to plan a big event during President Harding’s visit, and they complied with

the request; however, when they heard that the neighboring town of Whitefield had not only had a demonstration of some sort for him, but that he also delivered a short address, they were not happy. So what does a town do when it is confronted with a problem? Appoint a committee, of course. Secretary Weeks did the appointing, the committee met, President Harding agreed to speak in Lancaster on a Thursday evening, the residents were impressed with the speech, and all was well. The Boston reporter, M.E. Hennessy, appeared to be as much interested in the citizens of Lancaster as he was in the activities of the President. To illustrate their independent mindset he wrote that Secretary Weeks had decided to establish an Old People’s Home in honor of his mother who felt it her mission to look after the unfortunate and poor people in the See smith on 32

Labor Day signifies the end of summer. Schools are back in session, summer homes get closed for the season, and vacation time has been used up. It’s a depressing time for many, but not for me. After sweating it out through the month of August, one of the hottest on record, I’m ready for the steady fishing that fall brings, especially on Winnipesaukee. The season for catching lake trout and salmon on Lake Winnipesaukee closes after September 30. These remaining few weeks are absolutely the best time to get out and jig for lakers. Not only are the fish stacked up and hungry, but there is far less fishing pressure. Less pressure means the fish are more likely to bite. During some of my midweek guided trips, we are often the only boat out there. Fishing pressure plays a huge role in how ac-

tively the lake trout bite. On weekend days prior to Labor Day, it isn’t uncommon to have 15 or 20 boats, with 2-4 anglers per boat, all fishing in the same area. Imagine what it must look like below the surface with jigs bouncing up and down and spoons being trolled by every second. At some point the fish figure it out and stop biting as much. Mornings always

start out good, but as soon as the fishing pressure increases the bite slows or stops completely. The opposite is true after Labor Day. There are days when the fish never stop biting. When we are vertical jigging, sometimes we let our lure free spool until it stops, close the bail, set the hook, and fight the fish. Then repeat See moore on 34

up to track the survival rate of two distinct, controlled groups of chickadees during two straight winters. One banded group had sunflower seed feeders removed after 20 years of existence. The other banded group of birds, verified outside the accepted range of the feeder group, had never received their food sources through human contact. The winters were average in terms of temperature, snow cover and wind conditions. In terms of survival rates, which were about 85%, the exhaustive study concluded that there was no marked difference between the two groups of chickadees. The other 15% were presumed to have perished, since chickadees remain in the same area throughout a winter. Birds that had used feeders in the past were no less able to survive on a natural food supply, even though feeders were constantly available for the preceding 20 years. This is not surprising. During the preceding two winters, at the site where there were sunflower seed feeders, the banded chickadees were tracked as they obtained some 79% of their daily rations from natural food sources. Chickadees are truly opportunistic. In winter, they will search out insect eggs and larvae, mites and other anthropods, seeds, carcass remains and all sorts of available energy sources. Both the controlled and experimental sites were in relatively undisturbed rural locations in Wisconsin composed primarily of deciduous woods. The study did not see what the effect would be if the feeders were suddenly removed or left empty right in the middle of winter. However, birds are used to food sources disappearing in winter, due to snow, ice or foraging by

other birds. There is one interesting note about the study. It was determined that during abnormally severe weather conditions, five days or more of temperatures below 18° F, there was a marked difference in survival of the controlled group of chickadees. Birds with access to feeders maintained higher weights and were able to replace depleted energy reserves with minimal foraging. During periods of extreme cold, the ability to get a large amount of energy in a short period of time with minimum effort may be critical to the survival of the weak and older chickadees. Logically, this holds true for humans as well. People who feed birds can indeed help extend the range and survival rates of wild birds during times when natural food sources are scarce. However, when nature provides an abundance of food, your backyard is just considered one more food source, never the primary food sources. Our advice for almost two decades of service to our customers is to enjoy this hobby for what it offers. Peace, tranquility and the joy of sitting back and watching nature right outside your window. Have fun with your backyard birds. Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

Thatcher, Great Leader – Barack, First American President to Hate America LIBERTY QUOTES: Margaret Thatcher British Prime Minister (1979– 1 9 9 0 ) Source: 1976 Feb by Niel Young Advocates Columnist 5, TV Interview for Thames TV ‘This Week’: “I’m never quite sure what you mean by consensus politics. I believe that what most people want in their lives is what the Conservative Party wants to have for them. I believe that our policies are fundamentally common sense policies. Just let’s take taxation for an example. Wherever I go I hear enormous resentment about the amount which people are paying out of their own pay packet in tax. And, this goes right across the income ranges. Socialism started by saying it was going to tax the rich, very rapidly it was taxing the middle income groups. Now, it’s taxing people quite highly with incomes way below average and pensioners with incomes way below average. You look at the figure on the beginning of a pay slip, sometimes it can look quite high, look along the slip to the other end, and see how many deductions you’ve had off, those deductions have increased enormously under Socialism ... Public expenditure, which they always boast about, is financed out of the pay packet in our pockets. People are saying that they really think too much is being taken out of the pay packet for someone to spend on their behalf, and they’d rather be left with more, and it’s now well-known that Socialist Governments put up taxes and Conservative Governments take them down. It’s part of our fundamental belief giving

the people more choice to spend their own money in their own way.� Those words will never be spoken by Hillary Clinton. Both Clintons are about power and rolling the dough, somebody else’s dough! And their supporters cheer them on. Do you realize how little they do for others? ******** https://news.grabien. com/story-montage-18 -times-obama-trashedamerica-asia: What is it about traveling abroad that seems to encourage President Obama to unload all manner of grievances on the United States? For whatever reason, traveling abroad appears to help crystallize everything wrong he sees in America. During his recent trip to Cuba and Argentina, for example, we counted 18 separate times he talked down his employer, the United States of America. His just-concluded trip to Asia was no different. Here are 18 separate attacks he unloaded while in China and Laos: There are still too many poor children in the United States -Too many children in America are not getting enough to eat Despite America’s wealth, we’re not providing sufficient educational resources in poor communities - America lacks the “political will� to help poor inner cities that have suffered discrimination. Americans are “lazy� in thinking we don’t need to learn about foreign nations. Colin Kapernack is justified protesting the National Anthem, as the NFL star is raising “real, legitimate issues� about things America needs to be talked about. America suffers from racism, conflicts between ethnic groups, and discrimination against immigrants. Criticisms of America be-

ing imperfect and having problems with racism discrimination are accurate. America still has “situations where women are not treated equally.â€? America “didn’t think throughâ€? our policy in Vietnam War, as dropping cluster bombs proved counterproductive to “winning hearts and minds. America’s treatment of Native Americans was “tragic.â€? America “struggled to stay trueâ€? to our founding ideal that all men are created equal. When the environment is destroyed in America, it’s because the private sector is being “lazy.â€? The United States is still to this day learning how to develop industry without destroying the environment. Due to industrialization, America “used to have terrible pollution ‌ everywhere.â€? America’s role in the Vietnam War led to mass displacement of people from their homes. America dropped more bombs on Laos than on Germany and Japan during World War II ‌ more than 2 million bombs ‌ “the bombs fell like rain.â€? More bombs, he said on several occasions, were dropped on Laos per capita than anywhere else in the world. We bombed the “simple homesâ€? of civilians in Laos. “Villages and entire allies were obliterated.â€? The ancient Plain of Jars “was devastated.â€? Countless civilians were killed.

As we ever so slowly slip back toward fall weather, beer imbibers start to change their choices in brews styles at restaurants and taverns. When temps start to drift to cooler zones, we think like the wild beasts of long ago preparing for a long cold winter. We tend to eat more hearty foods, enjoy seasonal traditions and partake in the seasonal beers as well. Today we celebrate that turning point and welcome one of the traditions of NH breweries, Woodstock. Nestled in the quaint town of North Woodstock hides a busy hive of brewers, cooks and help that is the Woodstock Inn, Station and Brewery. Rich in history, Woodstock Station dates back to the mid 1930s when skiers could take trains to the mountain to ski. The Woodstock Inn would be a popular stop. It wasn’t until 1996 that a 7 barrel brewery began and became a local hangout. Recently expanded in 2012-13 to almost twice its original size, this 30 barrel brewery, function room and eatery beckons folks from all over to stop in and share a pint or two over great food. Find out more about them on www.facebook.com/WoodstockInnBrewery or at their website, www.woodstockinnnh.com Autumn Ale Brew is one of those seasonals that most of us look forward to. Compared to Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead and Sam Adams Smashed Pumpkin, this is less sweet and more believable as a pumpkin style beer. I believe it tastes better than Dogfish Head’s Pumpkin Ale. And yet it has

D.A. LONG TAVERN rich enough flavor to make it enjoyable. With a gorgeous copperred color, good clarity and rich and spicy flavor, Autumn Ale becomes a beer worth waiting for during our upcoming fall season. Although not overly bottle conditioned, my experience with this brew has its own character and complexity. Noting immediately a spicy nose in the glass reminiscent of ginger bread and pumpkin pie, this beverage gives you a translucent, medium mouthfeel and stops short of being too much like a dessert beer. Very drinkable at 4.4% ABV, you’ll be going back for more. In the past, I’ve even experimented with combining the Autumn Ale with a bit of Grand Marnier liquor which imparts an even

sweeter side and makes for conversation among friends… So with the many other offerings from Woodstock Brewery, you may want to give this one a try. You can find it at Case-n-Keg in both Meredith and Laconia, Hannaford stores as well as other fine beer stores. Officially on BeerAdvocate. com, it rated an 82 out of 100 (tagged as ‘Good’) and most have given Autumn Ale 3.5+ to around 4.4 out of 5. Overall, you won’t be disappointed with a crisp Autumn Ale Brew. Jim MacMillan is the owner of WonByOne Design of Meredith, NH, and is an avid imbiber of craft brews and a home brewer as well.

Freshen Up with Soothing Aromas. A little “me time� is good for the soul, and sometimes you need to pamper yourself after a long day.

Crank up the cozy factor with homemade hot cider and a crackling fireplace. 3. Refresh Interiors with Paint. Give rooms a refreshing update, add color and create contrast in a space with accent walls. Deep colors like navy blue help create a relax-

Since you’ll be spending more time inside, transform an empty space like a basement or attic into a useful area for the entire family. With a little imagination and a few tools, you can create a vibrant and playful craft room, as did FrogTape Paintover Challenge winner KariAnne Wood from the blog “Thistlewood Farms.� Wood transformed an unused upstairs space in her home into a room for her children to craft, study and hang out with friends. An exciting, multi-functional space is a great way to avoid cabin fever in the months ahead. 5. Give Guests a Warm Greeting Celebrity designer Taniya Nayak correctly predicted home design elements that incorporate typographic elements would be a key design trend in 2016. This trend is all about setting the tone for a space with inspirational quotes, personalization and warm greetings. Welcome guests by playing

up the autumnal theme with phrases like, “Hello Fall� or “Give Thanks� on decorative wooden planks or burlap-textured fabric. Consider using various font types and sizes to achieve a different feel for each block of text. 6. Deck Out Curb Appeal Nothing sets a good impression like an attractive entry way and front door. Greet guests with a festive hello by decking out the porch with pumpkins and planting seasonal floral arrangements along the pathway, or creating a fallinspired wreath to hang on the door. You can even collect a handful of colorful leaves outside to string together and post along your porch fence for extra curb appeal. For more seasonal inspiration, visit frogtape. com. Get started on your projects now, so you can kick-back, relax and fully enjoy all that the season has to offer.

DEAR TIM: How can I match the stucco finish on my 80-year-old front porch? I tried using white Portland cement and buff sand, but as you can see in my photo, the results are atrocious. I added some dry cement pigment to try to get a match and it just didn’t work. I noticed the old stucco has dark sand in it. Is that important? What’s the best way to get a match, if it’s even possible? --Brian M., Whitehall, Pa.

These stucco patches don’t match at all. It requires some testing to get a perfect match when working with cement stucco.

DEAR BRIAN: I’ve got good news for you! You’re going to make that front porch foundation wall stucco look stunning. But before we do that, let me tell you how difficult it is to match stucco. I think the best way to describe how hard it is to match stucco is to imagine trying to repair a tear in just about any fabric. Even the best tailor or seamstress will have a nearly impossible time blending in the sewing needed to repair the slit or slash. The most important thing to realize is that the stucco you see on your front porch does not look today like it looked 80 years ago. Moth-

er Nature has changed the appearance of the stucco just as she does with anything left in her presence. When the stucco was new, each piece of sand had a thin coating of cement paste over it. The color of the stucco was uniform, much like the patches you have in your photo. Note how you can’t see any color at all of the individual grains of sand in your fresh patches. Once you grasp this, you’ll understand how tough it is to match stucco. Over time, weathering works to remove the cement-paste film from the sand. This is why you now notice the dark grains of

Soot from decades of diesel exhaust and who-knows-what can also settle into the stucco finish, altering its appearance. Your new stucco patches have none of this. The first thing to do when trying to match stucco -or brick mortar which is nearly identical to stucco -- is to start with the sand. Look very closely at the sand grains in the existing stucco. Note the colors, the sand grain size and the blend of the colors. The sand for the existing stucco probably came

(BPT) - Do you ever wonder why you feel immediately relaxed when you enter a spa, yet when you enter a gym, you feel alert and energized? The answer can be found in the colors selected to decorate the space. “Interior designers use color psychology to evoke an emotional response,� says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “Homeowners can use this strategy to connect colors with emotions and memories to create one-of-akind spaces.� Color psychology starts by exploring warm and cool hues and then using these different tones to manipulate mood throughout your home.

below. Warm color families Red, orange and yellow are considered warm colors since they are associated with images of heat, like fire or sunshine. Warm families of color are bold and powerful when incorporated into home design. Yellows Because yellow reflects light, it’s an excellent choice for foyers and dark hallways. Its cheery nature has the ability to create an uplifting mood in homes. Rich yellows are great accent colors because they catch the eye. A great color to consider is Wadden’s favorite: Butterscotch SW 6377. “This color isn’t for the faint of heart,� she says. “The color features an acidy, deep mustard feel but is a great accent color paired with neutrals. I find its pop can really spark up a room.� Reds Reds evoke feelings of passion, energy and intimacy, so it’s an excellent color for workout rooms and master bedrooms. Red also inspires

the appetite, so is a logical choice for dining rooms or kitchens. Michael Plank, director of color marketing and design services for SherwinWilliams, enjoys Chinese Red SW0057. “Chinese Red is one of my perennial favorites to play off dark stains with its saturated and sophisticated nature,� he says. “Rich in hue as it is in Chinese culture; the harbinger of joy and fortune.� Oranges Orange has a friendly attitude that awakens and welcomes. Never understated, orange works well in family rooms and is a playful choice for children’s bedrooms or bonus rooms. Orange tones can also integrate into other colors, such as Coral Reef SW6606. “Ever since I was little I had a love affair with orange,� says Wadden. “I painted my daughter’s room Coral Reef. I love the rich complexity of the color.� Cool color families Blue, green and violet See color on 21

are considered cool colors because the inherent tones of each shade. Reminiscent of water and the outdoors, cool colors stimulate feelings of peace and tranquility, and are great options for bedrooms, bathrooms and patio spaces. Blues Blue is soothing and elicits feelings of relaxation, which is perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms. Alternatively, blues should be kept out of the kitchen because it’s a color that’s associated with appetite suppression. “I love cool greenish blues,� says Plank. “Blue Sky 0063 is from our historic palette and is a calming hue that works in

virtually every room.� Greens Green tones provide a feeling of familiarity because they are found throughout nature. Light greens are ideal for living rooms and offices; dark greens are wonderfully rich as accent colors. Vivid greens add unexpected pop, notes Sherwin-Williams Senior designer Karrie Hodge, who likes Marea Baja SW 9185. “I really like dark colors and this color reminds me of the deep turquoise part of the ocean,� she says. “This would make a great front door color on a white or gray colored house. This color would pair well with some natural stone or brick or wood.�

Violets Purple tones are immediately attractive to children, making them a great paint option in playrooms or bonus rooms. Additionally, violet is also a stunning accent color in bathrooms. When it comes to the violet family of colors, Hodge likes the versatility of Veri Berri SW 9069. “Its a rich berry tone that is playful,� she says. “This would make a really dramatic accent wall color in any room; I could even see this as a really fresh front door color.� For more color inspiration and to learn more about warm and cool colors, visit www.sherwinwilliams.com.

DIY Networks. Devlin offers homeowners some key plumbing tips: Kitchens and Bathrooms Ensure drains have strainers to prevent debris from clogging drain lines. Check faucets for drips and leaks. Inspect the toilet tank and bowl for visible cracks. Check for hidden leaks by adding six drops of food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes. Ensure toilets flush properly. If the handle must be held down to

flush, or jiggled to stop water from running, you may need to replace parts. Clean mineral deposits from the shower head. Unscrew it and soak in vinegar overnight. Then gently scrub with an old toothbrush. Water Heater Carefully drain several gallons from the tank to flush out corrosioncausing sediment, which reduces heating efficiency and shortens the life of the heater. Consider replacing those older than 15 years with a new, energy-efficient model. Appliances See tips on 24

from a gravel and sand pit within 15 miles or less. It was not easy 80 years ago to truck sand to a job site. Visit all the nearby sand and gravel pits and start to look at their different sands. Most gravel pits have different piles of sand. You need to find sand that matches as closely as possible what you have now. Once you have the sand, it’s time to clean your existing stucco. I’d use a solution of oxygen bleach to do this. It’s not harmful to your plants and it’s not aggressive like a pressure washer. A pressure washer could damage the stucco, so think twice before using one. After the existing stucco is clean and dry, you can try to get a match on the cement used to bond the sand together. You tried using white Portland cement, adding pigment to it. I’d try to just go with a traditional gray Portland cement and see what happens. I’d also try to make different batches using hydrated lime in addition to the Portland cement. The lime will modify the color depending on the ratio of cement to lime in your mix. Apply the different test batches to the face of some small concrete brick. Allow them to dry and cure for at least a week to see how you’re doing. Realize that the grains of sand in the stucco make up probably 90 percent of the color matrix, so you need to acid wash the new stucco samples after 30 days to see the real color of the new stucco you’re making. See how hard this is? Most people don’t have the patience to undertake this job because it’s just so time consuming. Most people want instant gratification. The easiest way to solve your problem is to just re-coat the entire foundation wall with new stucco

that’s all made the same way. To get the new stucco to bond permanently to the old stucco you need to use cement paint. I’m assuming you’ve cleaned the old stucco of all dirt, grease and so forth before you start. Cement paint is just a mixture of Portland cement and water. You add water to Portland cement, stirring until it’s the consistency of a thin latex paint. Slightly dampen the existing stucco with water, brush on the cement paint and immedi-

ately cover it with the fresh stucco. Do not allow the cement paint to dry. Work in the shade or on an overcast day with no wind. Need an answer?

tips from 22

Check your dishwasher, washing machine and ice maker’s supply hoses for bulges or leaks. Replace hoses showing signs of weakness or those older than ten years. Use stain-

less steel hoses, which are more reliable and less prone to bursting. Clean your washing machine lint trap, and place a wire trap or a piece of pantyhose over the end of

the hose that drains the washer. General Pour water into infrequently used drains to fill traps and prevent odors. Slow floor drains should be snaked to ensure they’ll carry water away during flooding. Take a reading on your water meter before bedtime. The next morning, without using any water overnight, take another reading. If it’s changed, you have a leak that should be repaired. Outside Free yard drains, gutters and downspouts of

debris. Check for bird nests in plumbing vent pipes. Check faucets and hose bibs to ensure water flows freely. If an outdoor faucet drips, or if there is leakage inside your home the first time the hose is turned on, you may have had a frozen pipe that cracked and needs to be replaced. Be Equipped Look for commercialquality products designed with average consumers in mind. For example, Roto-Rooter, the number one brand in plumbing, with 80 years of experience, now offers a complete line of consumer products that contain 25

percent more active ingredients and clear clogs 50 percent faster than the competition. “It’s stronger and faster which means you can get the job done right the first time,� says Devlin. Devlin, who lives in an historic farmhouse, recommends the brand’s Septic Treatment, which contains twice the amount of enzymes to keep septic tanks in balance. More information about the product line can be found at rotorooter-products. com. “Be proactive,� says Devlin. “A few minutes of prevention could save you tens of thousands of dollars in costly repairs.�

The Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association’s original clubhouse on Lily Pond. BCSa from 1

State of New Hampshire. BCSA actively participates with other organizations in projects that ensure the continuation of New Hampshire wildlife for future generations. Eventually, an old unused barn on the Laconia Airport property was given to the club to use free of charge by the Airport Authority and the City of Laconia. (The building was at the left end of the runway looking south across Lily

Pond on Rte 11C.) In 1986 the airport was planning a runway expansion and the club needed to be moved. Don Tabor, the Mayor of Laconia at that time, was instrumental in obtaining state approval to move the building to its current location. The building to the right of the original club house was called the “Red Watson Building” and was a civil air patrol meeting hall owned by the Federal Government. It was eventually

turned over to the club by FEMA at no cost. In 1987 the club was moved to its current location on a 9 acre plot of land and a 30 year lease with the airport was executed. Lease payments were $100 per year. The BCSA owned a piece of land on Saltmarsh Pond which was sold to raise the funds for the move. The Geddes Building Movers of Epping NH was hired to do the work.

That lease is about to expire next year and the organization is currently in negotiations with the Airport to settle on a price. They have recently set up as a 501(c) 3 non-profit and are working on accepting donations and additional fundraising in order to purchase the land. Their success in acquiring the land will help them to continue the good work the BCSA has done for the past eighty-five years. Among the many accomplishments of the BCSA over the years are: Sled Dog Races Laconia Sled Dog Races were started in 1929/1930. They were sponsored by the New England Sled Dog Club. The races ended in 1938 due to the threat of WWII. In 1956, BCSA sponsored the comeback of sled dog races to Laconia. In 1957, Former members of Laconia Sled Dog Club formed the Lakes Region Sled Dog Club and have produced the race ever since. Winnipesaukee Summer Fishing Derby The Derby was started by BCSA in May of 1982 with the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce as cosponsors. This is an ongoing annual event drawing thousands to the Lakes Region each year. Now organized and run by the Meredith Rotary Club.

Hiking Program In 2006, BCSA began sponsoring a program where participants can earn a patch by hiking all 12 mountains in the Belknap Range. Over 600 patches have been earned to date. One of the most significant accomplishments the BCSA has done over the years was in saving the Barry Conservation Camp in Berlin, NH. Barry Conservation Camp (BCC) is operated

by the UNH Cooperative Extension 4-H Program in cooperation with the NH Department of Fish and Game. It is located in the White Mountain National Forest at the Berlin Fish Hatchery. BCC provides a close-knit community for its 38 campers and 22 staff. There are 6 cabins, each housing up to 7 campers and a counselor. Campers are grouped by age and gender. There are central toilets, shower facilities and a dining hall complete with kitchen. Barry Conservation 4-H

Camp is a great program for kids who love the outdoors, enjoy hands-on learning in environmental and conservation programs and can benefit from participating in a small camp. The Staff takes pride in creating a special place where kids can discover their individual strengths. Campers and staff work together as a team in the hope that everyone leaves camp with a greater awareness of themselves and the world around them. Six themed weeks are ofSee bcsa on 31

fered: 4H shooting Sports, Mini Camp (for younger campers) , Fish Camp, On The Wild Side (outdoor skills), Hunter Education, and North Country Adventure. It was announced that Barry Camp would close after the 2009 season. Fish and Game was strapped for cash, major renovations were required because of deteriorating building infrastructure and years of deferred maintenance improvements. Mike Normandin, President of the BCSA at the time, decided that was not going to happen, that we would not lose this valuable asset. A place where NH youngsters can go to learn about hunting, fishing, environmental and conservation efforts. Where they enjoy the great outdoors and the magic of community camp life. A camp that provides the outdoor education for the next generation of future environmental stewards. He vowed that Barry Camp “Would Not Close”. The BCSA under Mike’s guidance took the lead and started by donating $4000 in a campaign to rebuild and reopen Barry Camp. Normandin contacted and coordinated the efforts of over twenty clubs and organizations for volunteers and donations to rebuild the camp infrastructure. Six buildings were repaired and renovated, replacing rotted wood, installing new screens, doors, and windows in addition a brand new covered shooting range

was constructed. In recognition of Mike Normandin’s outstanding effort Fish and Game awarded him it’s highest honor the “Ellis R. Hatch Jr. Award Of Excellence.” Barry Camp Reopened The Summer Of 2011, and has been at full capacity ever since with over 1,100 graduates to date. The Belknap County Sportsmen’s Association has actively supported their community for over 85 years. They now need the community’s help to allow them to continue their mission of outdoor education.

community. The reporter related that because â€œâ€Ś the old people of Lancaster were either too proud, too independent, or too well-to-do to accept such charity‌â€? that after a few years the Old People’s Home was closed. Only one person had chosen to live there. When the Republican convention began in 1920 Warren Harding was not one of the favorites to win the nomination to be the party’s candidate for President. Interestingly, one of the favorites at the beginning of the convention was Major General Leonard Wood, a native of Winchester, New Hampshire, who won the primary in New Hampshire, and received the most votes in the first four ballots at the national convention, but Harding ended up becoming a compromise candidate. Harding, an Ohio resident, won the nomination on the tenth ballot. From all appearances the President enjoyed “ his period of recreation â€? in the North Country and the independent citizens up there were apparently happy to have him there. Harding had been to Lancaster before becoming President as a lecturer for the Chautauqua Institution and was paid $150 for his speech and The Boston Globe reporter noted that in the 1921 speech there was

no charge for the people to hear the President speak. The reporter did have one gripe of his own about the trip to Lancaster that he could not resist addressing. The problem? Reckless driving. He wrote “ Neither the President nor Mrs. Harding seem to regard the speed they travel as dangerous, but it is dangerous, nevertheless, and somebody in authority in these Presidential trips over the country should see to it that reckless driving is stopped. The life of the President of the United States is too important and precious from a public standpoint to be jeopardized by unnecessary speeding.â€? He suggested that the President was a subject for drastic governmental regulation. Remember that was in 1921. In his speech in Lancaster during his “ period of recreation â€? President Harding included these comments: “I am glad to come here and have the experience, as one of the Middle West, in gazing on the works of your wonderful land. I wonder sometimes if you appreciate the indescribable charm of the section in which you live‌.. If I am ever doubtful ‌of the wonderful goodness of God, I would only have to journey to this section to see the mountains in their eternal glories and the valleys glorified and then see them all crowned with our works of modern civilization and I would have my faith unalterably renewed.â€? It was almost exactly two years after his New Hampshire vacation that President Warren Harding died of an apparent heart attack on August 2, 1923, in a San Francisco hotel room at the age of 57. Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr., lives in New Hampton.

way through. But while we look back fifteen years, there are some quarters who will smugly say, fifteen years after the December 7’s, Day of Infamy, we were no longer fighting Japan nor Nazi Germany. True. That’s precisely because both aggressive regimes were soundly defeated by the Big Five allies, the USA, Britain, France, Nationalist China, and Russia. So if we look at the world of say 1956, namely fifteen years after Pearl Harbor, both Japan and Germany were being rebuilt as democratic and strong socio/economic systems. Both had become American allies, and both had become model democracies. This is not the current case with the radical strain of hatred and violence which has hijacked parts of Islam. Al Qaida or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and a gaggle of other fundamentalist groups are symbols of global hate, intolerance, and hideous violence. These militants are far from vanquished despite the boastful hubris from the Obama Administration that we’re beating them. The problem is far from contained or resolved. Indeed the danger has widened and spread throughout the Middle

East and Africa: Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan. Yemen, once the poster child for Obama’s moderate Muslim policy, is wracked by brutal civil war. Turkey, once a reliable ally, faces political turmoil. In Africa, Nigeria, Somalia and Mali are torn asunder by extremism. So are we really safer? Regrettably, a September 10, 2001 mentality still rests in much of the American psyche; well it happened, but can’t happen again. Addressing last year’s UN General Assembly session, King Abdullah II of Jordan decried the violence between militant Islam and the world calling the “crisis a third world war, and I believe we must respond with equal intensity.” He spoke of the khawarej, the extremist outlaws who “use religion as a mask.” The Jordanian King warned tellingly, “Extremists rely on the apathy of moderates.” Memories of that fateful day still flood my memory when I see the lights of lower Manhattan and recall the area that became known as Ground Zero. Three thousand innocent civilians from twenty countries were killed that cursed day. Some 343 New York Fire Department members and countless first responders lost their lives

trying to save them. Even now sometimes when I see an aircraft flying a little low in the traffic pattern on a clear day, I have this flash-back to September 11th. Happily since then, New York has amazingly rebounded and shown its defiant resilience. The current presidential campaign holds two competing visions both hawkish but nuanced. One claims that the problem is controllable and contained. The other asserts that we are yet to

lice cars, the NYPD headquarters and other NYPD precincts throughout the 1970s. Fast-forward to September 2016. Several Weather Underground killers are back teaching at the campuses that bred them. The Weather Underground’s Chicago apologist is wrapping up two terms in the White House. And the group’s legal handmaiden is now serving out her golden years cheering Micah Xavier Johnson, the evil, racist gunman who ambushed and killed five Dallas police officers in July as Black Lives Matter-inspired racial revenge over cop-related shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. She also embraced Gavin Long, who shot three Baton Rouge cops (both black and white) a week after Xavier’s Dallas cop massacre. The hate-filled Stew-

art blamed the victims for joining the thin blue line. She called the cop-killers “avengers,” not murderers of heroic husbands, fathers and grandfathers keeping the peace. Most perfidiously, she championed the police massacres as a “deterrent.” That’s a clear, cold incitement to more violence and anarchy. Sicko Lynne Stewart’s freedom is a middle finger to all law enforcement officers, first responders, their families, and the families of victims of Islamic jihad. Cancer or no, Stewart’s compassionate release should be revoked immediately. She is a cancer on America. Michelle Malkin is a senior editor at Conservative Review.

to do this. All you need to do this is a tool that helps you to see that people all to often don’t make choices rationally. There are some things deep in the psyche of men and women; some of them common to particular groups that can cause men and women to make decisions out of this deep feeling that is very very difficult to resist. I have long pondered why it is that Democratic candidates receive in excess of 90% of black votes in elections; even though they support policies that by in large hurt black Americans. I have had the opportunity to know a good number of black Americans. The people I’ve met have Christian values very similar to mine. Almost to the man and woman everyone of them has been good people. If people mostly acted rationally you would think these by in large would vote for candidates with similar values and that should make them lean to the right not the left. But people don’t make some of the most important decisions rationally. We are all affected by this to one degree or another. There is a phenomenon I’ve seen operating in Black Americans, that is the descendants of the American slaves. That is what I will call the fellowship of suffering that these have endured though the years at the hands of white Americans. This is a very powerful force deep within the psyche of black Americans. It is so strong that when it comes in conflict with a rational decision it is only with the greatest struggle in ones soul can one make the rational choice. The Democratic Party has put a hook in this phenomenon and manipulated American black people to vote against their own interest, and to trap as many as they can into the role of victims, so as to assure for themselves a reliable voting block. This can change as a people wakes up and sees that they have been tricked and taken advantage of. John Demakowski Franklin, NH.

lump together very different kinds of income, as is usually the case. Incomes from salaries are very different from incomes from capital gains. A salary is usually earned and paid in the same year. Capital gains received in a given year can be paid for value accrued over a number of years. If you paid $100,000 for a home or a business in the past, and then sold it 20 years later for $300,000, have you made $200,000 per year when you sold it or $10,000 a year for 20 years? In the income statistics, your income will be recorded the same as that of someone on a salary of $200,000 a year. What difference does that make? It makes a big difference when most low and moderate incomes are from salaries, while incomes in the highest brackets are more likely to be primarily capital gains -- whether from the sale of homes or businesses, or receiving an inheritance, cashing in stock options, or some other forms of capital gains. This means that statistics on income inequalities are often comparing high multi-year earnings with lower singleyear earnings -- that is, comparing apples and oranges. Such statistical distortions are discussed more fully in my book “Wealth, Poverty and Politics.” In an election year, it might be worth taking a look.

else could we buy with this that would meet our needs – at decreased cost and/or with better outcome?” When we buy a home – the single largest purchase most of us make – we conduct an analysis of alternatives. We look at things like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the location, the style, etc. We also determine what we can afford. Affordability shades our perception of need. Yes, we want that neighborhood and two-and-a-half baths, but we could do fine with two baths and a slightly longer commute. We should look at school funding the same way. The beauty of looking

at alternatives in education is that the market provides more and better alternatives all the time. We are constantly being presented with new ways of storming Big Ed’s fortress. Some of these options will be the topic of future essays. For now, we just need to recognize that they are out there, and be open to exploring them. We also need to recognize that the people we’ve elected or hired to run our schools show a disconcerting lack of intellectual curiosity about what lies beyond their fortress gate. Given that NH’s per-pupil education spending was a whopping $15,320 in 2013 (13th highest in the nation), we

37 must insist that they look at alternatives, even – or especially – if that means significantly changing how we educate our kids and how we employ educators. As you sit behind a yellow school bus making its rounds, morning and afternoon, Monday through Friday, just like it did for you, and perhaps your parents, too, think about how much our world has changed over the past few decades…and how little our education model has changed. For reasons both fiscal and educational, it’s time for change. Ken can be reached at kengorrell@gmail.com

The Rochester Opera House Presents Bluegrass Superstars The Gibson Brother On Friday, October 7th, the Rochester Opera House presents bluegrass superstars The Gibson Brothers. Winners of numerous awards, including two International Bluegrass Music Association Entertainers of the Year awards, The Gibson Brothers have an uncanny ability to blend the classic and the modern. With sublime harmonies their unique style honors tradition while still sounding refreshingly new. Gibson Brothers, Eric on Banjo and Leigh on Guitar, are joined by Mike Barber on Bass, Clayton Campbell on Fiddle, and Jesse Brock on Mandolin. “Eric and Leigh Gibson might have, pound-forpound, the most impeccably fine-sounding traditional bluegrass band on the contemporary scene. The reason these guys can’t lose is that, quite simply, they sound so great. Eric and

Leigh sing bluegrass’ tightest harmony blend, and, instrumentally the group plays with unmatched alacrity and taste.� - Steve Leftridge of PopMatters Tickets are $20 and the show starts at 8pm. (Doors 7pm) Reserve tickets online or call/stop by the Box Office (603) 335-1992, M/W/F from 10-5pm and 2-hours before the show. Cash Bar. Under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
