One of downtown Meredith’s familiar storefronts, the historic former Grad’s Building at 48 Main Street, has recently been transformed into what can best be described as a health

destination. Kelly Chapman and Seth Joslin, purchased the three story building, built in the 1850s, in January of this year. After extensive renovations over the winter and summer, they celebrated the grand opening of their integrative therapies

Seth Joslin and Kelly Chapman, the new owners of the former Grad’s Building at 48 Main Street in Meredith, have opened Meredith Whole Living Center on the second floor, offering a variety of alternative therapies. Here they are standing in front of one of their two Float Tanks, presently the only place in New Hampshire to offer this unique form of therapy also used by the New England Patriots and others. Four other health related businesses also occupy space in the building making it a unique brendan smith Photo health compound.

“Over the Headwall: A Short History of Skiing Tuckerman Ravine” Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is pleased to present, “Over the Headwall: A Short History of Skiing Tuckerman Ravine” on Wednesday, October 5th, 7pm. Perched on the southeastern side of Mt. Washington is Tuckerman Ravine, a glacial cirque, small by the standards of higher mountains and has an outsized reputation in the ski world. Attracting notice when skiing was young for the prodigious depths of its snowfields formed when winter winds sweep volumes of snow off the alpine lawns of Mt. Washington and funnel great accumulations into this cirque, Tuckerman Ravine would became a springtime mecca to skiers seeking to extend the ski season, and in the process would become the birthplace of what is today called extreme skiing. Jeff Leich has been the Executive Director of New England Ski Museum in Franconia, NH since 1997. Leich is the editor of the Journal of the New England Ski Museum, and produces most of the exhibits that the Museum changes on an annual basis. He is author of two books, Over the Headwall: The Ski History of Tuckerman Ravine and Tales of the 10th: The Mountain Troops and American Skiing. He was awarded the H.H. “Bill” Whitney Award for outstanding contribution to alpine skiing in the state of New Hampshire in 2006, the Curatorial Award from the International Skiing History Association in 2007, and the Skade Award from the same group in 2012. This presentation is free for LWHS members, non members there is a $5.00 fee which goes to support Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society’s ongoing renovations. We are located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 366-5950.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; OFF THE SHELF â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trapping The Words by Debby Montague Book Reviewer

A Great Reckoning, Louise Penny, Minotaur Books, August, 2016

retirement Armand, former Chief Inspector of Homicide of the SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec, takes a second career as Commander of the SĂťretĂŠ academy, to root out the malfeasance of previous administrators and to ensure that only those students able to represent the motto of the SĂťretĂŠ, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service, In-

tegrity, Justice,â&#x20AC;? will go on to enter the ranks of the SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec. Ridding the academy of unethical and treacherous instructors and cadets is enough of a job, but Gamache is faced with more than one enigma. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mysterious map of Three Pines found in the local archives, a map baffling by the fact that Three Pines appears on no other map of Quebec. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal secret that goes far back to his boyhood days. And, not the least of his problems though perhaps the most immediate, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a murder to solve. Louise Penny is a master at trapping words. Often while I am reading her books I feel as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reading a beautiful poem, something on a par with

Armand Gamache sat in the little room and closed the dossier with care, squeezing it shut, trapping the words inside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to be spending time again with my Three Pines friends. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my annual visit to Three Pines, just north of the Vermont Border, an hour from Montreal. Three Pines is a refuge, figuratively and fundamentally. During our War of Independence, the three pines that give the village its name signaled a safe haven to loyalists. In the world of Three Pines, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sanctuary for many fed up with the chaos of the city and lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turmoil. For me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a retreat out of my everyday world to a place where I learn and laugh and cry with the inhabitants. A Great Reckoning is Louise Pennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twelfth Three Pines mystery and the best since 2013â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s How The Light Gets In. Inspector Armand Gamache and his wife Reine Marie are living in Three Pines close to friends Clara, Myrna, Ruth, Gabri and Olivier and close enough to Montreal where their daughter, Annie, and her husband, Jean-Guy, Armandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former lieutenant, live. Life is good, but like love and worry - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love and worry. They went hand in hand. Fellow travelers.â&#x20AC;? good and bad go together.

To The Editor: I’m writing to express my heartfelt thanks to all who supported me in the Republican Primary for State Senate District 2. I thank my opponent for running a spirited campaign, and ask those who supported him to join with me so we can win on November 8th. Thanks also to Sen. Forrester for her outstanding service in Concord, laying the groundwork for us to deal with the serious issues we’re facing: businesses leaving, job losses, stagnant wages, a deadly drug crisis, declining population, and an underprepared workforce. Everywhere I campaigned, you asked what can be done to revitalize our economy. Simply put, we must dramatically change New Hampshire’s business environment, now among the worst in the nation. We’re competing with other states which continue to win out over us for business relocations and startups. Instead of building government-funded Enterprise Centers to help businesses overcome our regulatory and tax hurdles, I’ll work to reduce and simplify state regulations and taxes. By lowering business taxes, reducing regulations, improving infrastructure, and providing jobs-ready high school graduates, we can put New Hampshire back on top. In this State Senate election, you will choose between two candidates with substantially differ-

ent philosophies and voting records. During my 6-years in the NH House and as Deputy Majority Leader, I: •opposed all new taxes, and eliminated the Legacy and Succession (Death) Tax •protected and defended your natural, constitutional, and property rights, including authoring a 2006 Constitutional amendment to prevent abuse of Eminent Domain •protected our 2nd Amendment by pre-empting all law-making affecting your 2nd Amendment rights to the State Legislature •passed health insurance reforms that greatly increased your options and reduced your costs (later repealed by Democrat House/Senate/Governor) •helped small businesses by amending state laws and reducing state regulations •supported vouchers and charter schools to better enable teachers to teach and students to learn in the 21st century I’m working hard to highlight the differences between the two candidates for this seat, so you’ll have a clear choice when you vote on November 8th. My goal in seeking this office has never changed: to improve the lives and prosperity of New Hampshire’s people and businesses.

Oppressed? To the Editor: Does the US oppress black Americans? Colin Kaepernick says “Yes”. Is this just the attempt of a “has been” to get noticed or is he right? Are our black President, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, Mayors, Judges, Congressmen, Senators, billionaires, millionaires, and thousands of other black officials oppressed? Are college educated and other blacks with good jobs, and those living in nice neighborhoods with good, safe schools for their children oppressed? No. However, many poor Americans, including many blacks, live in oppressive conditions; they live in poverty, in areas where jobs, especially good jobs, are scarce, in high crime neighborhoods with frequent shootings, and send their children to poor and dangerous schools. These conditions exist in many inner cities. These cities are almost exclusively controlled by Democrat politicians. Democrat politicians lock children in poor and dangerous schools; control the taxes, regulations, and lawlessness that drive away businesses and jobs; drive up the cost of living; protect the illegal aliens who take many jobs, drive down wages, and victimize legal residents; and that create hopelessness. Conditions for America’s inner city poor don’t improve because Democrat politicians get the power See mail boat on 32

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

Solving A Problem

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

As the candidate for governor of the Flatlander Party I have a greater responsibility than to just do or say anything, no matter how ridiculous, just to get elected. I am also here to help protect the integrity of our breed. As the Flatlander population has swelled here in New Hampshire, even us non-natives who have lived here for awhile are casting a wary eye on the new generation of transplants who are crossing our borders. Much like the new environmentalists who want to protect the shore of our lakes from further growth once they become lakefront property owners themselves, we are selfishly pessimistic about what too many new Flatlanders might do to the nice deal we have here. Of course, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shut down our borders and build a granite wall. After all, there are still a bunch of new liquor stores to build first and in this day and age it is difficult to get people to be proactive in any kind of movement anyway, even if it affects them directly. I understand this. We all have work, family and smartphones to attend to. Sometimes there just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the time. I do have a plan to stall the influx of new Flatlanders into the Granite State that I will immediately start the process on once I am elected governor. I will make it my first act to get the legislature

to consider a bill where all hopeful transplants to New Hampshire will first have to audition and only a select few will be chosen. It will be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The First Annual New Hampshire Flatlanderâ&#x20AC;? and it will be broadcast across the state every Wednesday evening from 8-9pm by all of the local access channels. It will be an audience participation show with viewers calling in to vote on who is their choice with fifty state reps chosen to spend the evening fielding the phone calls. (Hey, these people get a hundred dollars a year, they have to do something to justify that.) Every week we could move the show to a different location to give a little publicity to some of the Opera Houses and Music Halls around the state and to give everyone a chance to be an audience member. Of course, we would have to pre-empt whatever programs are now being broadcast at that time on local access. I really have no idea whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing in my neighborhood at that time. Do you? Does it matter? There will have to be judges and since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my idea I think I should be one. After all, what else will I be doing on a Wednesday night as governor besides attending some boring dinner somewhere? I thought a good idea for getting other judges was to have the Lottery Commission come up with a new scratch ticket where not only would your odds of winning a significant amount of money be miniscule, like other scratch tickets, but the tens of thousands of losing tickets could be entered into a drawing for the chance to be one of the judges. This way we would not only falsely give people hope of becoming rich, but now also we can add in the dream of being famous as

well by doing nothing more than rubbing a dime across a small piece of cardboard. We will advertise the auditions in newspapers in Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. The entry fee to audition would be one hundred dollars since the legislature would insist on this since any bill to be considered must have money attached to it. We would follow all of the politically correct rules and put in disclaimers that no one will be discriminated against on account of race, religion, color or sexual orientation (though I may have a problem with nasally Long Island accentsâ&#x20AC;Ś even if they are family.) We will have to make up a series of questions for them to answer as well as some tasks for them to perform so as to give the audience a little entertainment value. These really wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter since in the end we will be judging them solely based on appearance, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say that. After the audition is done, we will have the citizens of New Hampshire phone in to make their choice which will already have been predetermined by me since, hey, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the governor. The winners will then be allowed to move to New Hampshire. We would do this every month, picking ten winners a month; one hundred and twenty residents a year along with their families. We keep the Flatlander population in check and our own peace of mind. I can only do this as your governor, so I am hoping you will give me your vote. It will help to preserve our way of life here and, most importantly, provide some great cable public access entertainment. Visit Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.BrendanTSmith.com

Hey, UN Corruptocrats: Spare Us Refugee Sanctimony Another United Nations summit in New York. Another fingerwagging extravaganza. Another useless “historic by Michelle Malkin declaration” Syndicated Columnist (nonbinding, of course) to save the world (by holding another summit ... in two years). As America reels from the latest terrorist attacks by Muslim refugees and immigrants in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota, the world’s global do-gooders filled the Big Apple with their humanitarian hot air. U.N. officials convened in NYC this week to push for “collective action” to “protect the rights of refugees and migrants, to save lives and share responsibility for large movements on a global scale.” Let me put this as politely as possible: Bug off, U.N. nitwits. Islamic jihadists are lopping off infidels’ heads; kidnapping young African girls, Christian missionaries and Western tourists; incinerating Afghan schoolgirls; imposing mass genital mutilation on Muslim girls and marrying them off to lecherous brutes while they’re still in grade school; pushing gays off of rooftops; mob-raping European women; casting fatwas on cartoonists, filmmakers and authors; and stabbing, shooting and bombing Jews, Christians and ex-Muslim apostates all over the world. For starters. But the real problem, the U.N. elites tell us, is “rising xenophobia” in countries whose citi-

zens are sick and tired of open borders. If only we uneducated heathens who oppose unfettered mass immigration to America from America-hating breeding grounds learned to appreciate “diversity” more, a Skittlescolored rainbow of peace and harmony would reign. And yes, I know, “Skittles” is now a trigger word after Donald Trump Jr. used the treats in a completely innocuous homeland security meme on Twitter to illustrate America’s inability to separate murder-minded refujihadis from legitimate refugees escaping persecution. To which I say: Suck it up, snowflakes. Terrorists are teaching their kids to slice throats and you’re whimpering over candy analogies? Talk about candy-asses. Not to be outdone in the international sanctimony Olympics, President Obama used center stage at the U.N. General Assembly to rail against self-preservationism in favor of “global integration.” Instead of a full-frontal fusillade against al-Qaida, the Islamic State and all the other homicidal spreaders of Allahu Akbar-it is, Obama aimed his sharpest barbs at American supporters of Donald Trump and U.K. voters who voted to withdraw from the European Union. “A nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself,” he lectured. (Pay no attention to the brandnew fence at the White House now nearly 14-feet high to protect Obama from unwanted outside “integration.”) This week’s U.N. production of Caring Theater is just the latest attempt by the world’s most

Syria Crisis Rocks UN Assembly UNITED NATIONS—The

reverberations of the Syrian conflict continue to rock the UN General Assembly and Security Council by John J. Metzler as the shock Syndicated Columnist waves of a churning war, a deepening political crisis, and a widening humanitarian disaster plague both the region as well as the wider world community. Syria has become a catchword for the growing global security disorder which has among its subchapters Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and, this is just the Middle East. Prime Minister John Key, of New Zealand who heads the Security Council this month, exclaimed, “The Syrian civil war is the most devastating conflict of the 21st century.” He added “After more than five years of violence, Syria has become a byword for failure.” But failure Key scolded, rested

not only with the warring parties but with the world community for “failure to respond to the crisis early to prevent the tragedy and a collective political failure including by this Council, to do what must be done to end the conflict.” Britain’s new Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson stated his case bluntly, “I don’t think the people of the world are remotely fooled by what is going on in Syria. They know that it is not just a civil war. They know it is a barbaric proxy war, and that is a conflict that is being fed, and nourished, and armed, and abetted, and protracted and made more hideous, by the actions and inactions of governments in this room.” Foreign Secretary Johnson added, “There can be no political process without a genuine ceasefire and there can be no ceasefire unless there is a genuine political agreement that we can have a transition away from the Assad government.” Over 400,000 people, mostly civilians, have See Metzler on 36

Many ridiculous posterquotes cross my computer screen each week. Most are of the supposedly-wisebut-actuallytrite variety, by Ken Gorrell printed over Northfield, NH. a picture designed to give the words weight they don’t deserve. This week’s winner for silliest poster-quote goes to Diane Ravitch, known as an “education historian” by supporters but as a teachers’ union-paid spokesman by those who have been paying attention in class. In a 2014 Salon magazine interview, Ravitch took aim at charter schools. She doesn’t like them, and won’t let facts or the best educational interests of your kid stand in the way of denigrating them. Here’s the full quote, from the hyperbolically titled article, Say goodbye to public schools: Diane Ravitch warns Salon some cities will soon have none: “Charter schools [are] allowed to throw out the kids they don’t want. They’re allowed to throw out the kids with low scores. They’re allowed to exclude the kids who have severe disabilities. They’re allowed to not accept the kids that don’t speak English. And then you’re going to compare them to… the schools that take all those kids? I mean, really — this is ridiculous.” Yes, it’s ridiculous, but not for the reasons Ravitch wants you

Apples To Apples

to believe. To give you some idea of how much of a drama queen Ravitch has become, the article’s subtitle is her question “Why destroy public education so that a handful can boast they have a charter school in addition to their yacht?” Ah, yes, because that’s exactly what education reformers aim to do. The photo accompanying the quote is of a tipped scale, with an apple on one side and an orange on the other. From that we’re supposed to shake our heads (or shake our fists if we have a financial interest in maintaining the one-size-badly-fits-all status quo) and agree that an apples-to-oranges comparison just isn’t fair. How can we hold traditional public schools to the same standard as charter schools when charters are given unfair advantages? Setting aside the fact that charter schools are public schools, Ravitch, the teacher unions, and the ill-informed are setting up a false comparison. Weighing education options this way focuses on the systems and ignores the customers and the goal: parents and children, and education. And that is indeed ridiculous. Charters aren’t designed to be all things to all students. They are designed – chartered – to meet the needs of certain students. Some charters focus on math and science, others on the arts. Some cater to special needs, others cast a wider net and accept all applicants. But unless you believe, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that any one system can be optimized to

meet everyone’s needs, you must be open to the idea that “apples to apples” is a poor way to compare education opportunities. The proper criterion for every parent should be, Is this the right place for my child? Rav-

itch answers that question thus: “Parents should not be burdened with locating a suitable school for their child.” Her condescension is staggering. Parents are best placed to determine the suitability of education options for their See gorrell on 32

Our Political Predicament There is no point denying or sugar-coating the plain fact that the voters this election year face a choice between two of the worst candidates in by Thomas Sowell living memoSyndicated Columnist ry. A professor at Morgan State University summarized the situation by saying that the upcoming debates may enable voters to decide which is the “less insufferable” candidate to be President of the United States. My own take on this election is that the voter is in a situation much like that of an American fighter pilot in World War II, whose plane has been hit by enemy fire out over the Pacific Ocean and is beginning to burst into flames. If he bails out, there is no guarantee that his parachute will open. But even if he lands safely in the ocean, he may be eaten by sharks. If he comes down on land, he may be captured by the Japanese and tortured and/or killed. In other words, there are huge and potentially fatal risks. But, if he remains in the plane, he is doomed for certain. To me, Donald Trump represents multiple and potentially fatal risks. But Hillary Clinton is a certainty of disaster. Her vaunted “experience” is an experience of having repeatedly made decisions that turned out to be not merely wrong but catastrophic. The most obvious example has been her role as Secretary of State during the Obama administration’s decision to undermine and help destroy the governments of two nations -- Egypt and Libya -- that were no threat whatever

to Americans or to America’s interests. The net result was that two Middle East nations that were at least neutral toward the United States, in contrast to others who are hostile and belligerent, were turned into countries where Islamic extremists created turmoil, and one in which Islamic terrorists killed the American ambassador and those who came to his aid. President Obama and Secretary Clinton inherited an Iraq where terrorists had been soundly defeated, thanks to General David Petraeus’ “surge” campaign, which both had opposed when they were in the Senate. But the Obama administration turned victory into defeat by pulling American troops out of Iraq, against the advice of top military leaders, setting the stage for the emergence of ISIS and its triumphant barbarism that attracted adherents who began waging a terrorist war inside Western nations, including the United States. A whole series of disastrous military and foreign policy decisions have led to public criticisms by an extraordinary succession of former Secretaries of Defense and top generals who had served under the Obama administration. Such public criticisms of any administration, by its own former high officials, are virtually unheard of. One of these Secretaries of Defense, Robert Gates -- who has served under several administrations of both parties -- criticized Donald Trump as well. Secretary Gates said: “The world we confront is too perilous and too complex to have as president a man who believes that he, and he alone, has all the answers and has no need to listen to anySee Sowell on 33

“He likes the Constitution, and hasn’t much use for Constitution busters. He is strong for a republic, and is painfully affected by the idea of a pure democracy. He is the sort of senator who has little or no craving to look back at the close of the day and realize that he has voted for the sake of expediency. It would disturb his rest to do this; and he has reached a time of life where he needs his beauty sleep. It might be remarked in closing that he is one of the handsomest men in the Senate.” Those words were written about Senator George Higgins Moses of New Hampshire at the conclusion of a column about him that I found in an old scrapbook. He served in the United States Senate from 1918 until 1933. The name of the author and the publication are not included in the clipping in the scrapbook, which appears to have been written before the 1926 election, so I am unable to pass that information on. I can tell you that Senator Moses was described as “ A Pleasing Irritant”, and a thorn in the flesh. Senator Moses must have been an unusual figure for media people because he apparently didn’t avoid answering questions and was straightforward and honest in his speech. He had the reputation of

Moses was reputed by our unknown columnist to have voted and spoken in a manner that one would expect make him unelectable for a second term, but instead of that happening, he was reelected by a two to one margin. The Republican Senator was said to have “… voted against woman suffrage on a day when , out of one hundred and six million people, he had the one vote that settled the question.” He also voted against a Medical Beer Bill and made several other unpopular votes.

(I’m assuming the Medical Beer Bill referred to was the Campbell-Willis bill which banned the use of beer for medical purposes, a controversial subject during the Prohibition years.) George Higgins Moses was born in Lubec, Maine on February 9, 1869, the son of a Baptist minister. The family moved to Eastport, Maine and afterwards to Franklin, New Hampshire where young George received some of his schooling. He then graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1887 and Dartmouth College in 1890. Moses began working at the Concord Evening Monitor newspaper with a starting salary of nine Seesmith on 32

BOAT MUSEUM

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

THE PATRIOTS Back in 1986 I received a telephone call from John Garner, then the Sports Information Director at Plymouth State College. A particularly passionate football fan, Garner achieved widespread acclaim when his promotional efforts on behalf of PSC running back Joe Dudek landed Dudek on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Dudek went on to “garner” a top-ten finish in the Heisman Trophy balloting. John’s phone call alerted me to the fact that he was leaving PSC for a position as Assistant Commissioner for the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference—an opportunity no doubt prompted by the Dudek notoriety. I subsequently applied for and was hired for John’s old SID job and spent seven memorable years at the Home of the Panthers. John called me again a couple weeks ago. Would I like to go to the New England Patriot / Houston Texan football game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro? Of course! If you’ve never been to Gillette then you’ve missed out on a must-see New England sports experience. Pats owner Bob Kraft has turned Patriot Place into a billion dollar gridiron Disneyland. The awesome football edifice and all the surrounding structures show no signs of the old Foxboro Stadium footprint, where the Pats played until 2002. Be advised that the Gillette experience doesn’t come cheap. It cost $50 just

Mike Moffett (R) and John Garner. to park. The ticket above the west end zone had a face value of $139. And a cheeseburger cost $11.50. Supply and demand and the spoils of success! Still, the Gillette experience is naturally enhanced by the quality of Coach Bill Belichick’s program— the NFL’s most successful franchise this century. Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady both “came aboard” in 2000. The 2016 Patriot story line features a compelling twist, as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Brady for four games due to alleged football tampering. Back-up quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sparkled in Brady’s absence, leading New England to a surprising upset at Arizona in the season opener and then to victory over Miami in the home opener. But Jimmy G injured a shoulder against the Dolphins, leaving Belichick and company with only third-string rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett to call signals against undefeated Houston. But JB avoided any turnovers and even ran 27 yards for a touchdown in his first start as the Patriots demolished the Texans 27-0. Houston— which had not been shut out in 13 years—barely crossed midfield against a New England defense that never looked better. Now Brissett and the unbeaten Patriots host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, seeking to go 4-0 during the Brady suspension. Obviously the Patriots relished

and rose to the challenge of playing without their franchise quarterback. Brady returns on Oct. 9 for a game in Cleveland. How ironic it would be if the 39-year-old superstar QB was “rusty” against the Browns and the Cleveland team rose to the occasion to upset a Patriot team that’s due for a let-down. We’ll see. For now, enjoy what could be a special Sunday in New England, as the Pats seek to go 4-0 and the Red Sox play the last regular season game of the David Ortiz era at Fenway Park. I’m hoping my friend John’s next phone call will include an offer of World Series tickets! See moffett on 30

“Where You Always Get More Bang For Your Buck!”

Which Lure Color?

ll Skip’s has it a on’t w t at a price tha allet! break your w

by Tim Moore Contributing Writer

I always tell people that lure color should be one of the last things you change when fish aren’t biting. Change size, shape, even presentation, before you change color. Since they are near-sighted, vision is close to the bottom of the list of senses that fish use when feeding. Moreover, the wavelength of certain colors and the available light plays a large part in which colors fish see best. A little understanding of the senses fish use goes a long way. The biggest factors in lure selection should be shape of your lure and the type of bait, if any, that you put on it. Fish use their lateral line system, which is made up of hairlike mechanoreceptors called neuromasts that detect changes in water pressure created by vibrations or displacement. Their lateral line system is so sensitive that fish can even determine which direction the vibration is coming from by which direction their lateral line hairs move. Fish can key in on an object’s movements from much greater distances than their vision can detect. Fish also have a very sensitive olfactory system, which they use to detect odors in the water. Olfactory detection of food is limited by direction of currents. Only after a fish has zeroed in on its meal using its lateral line or olfactory system will it rely on its vision. So, unless there are fish directly

T IM M OORE under or around you, you don’t need to worry much about what color lure you are using. When there are fish within sight of your lure, then color becomes important. You want a color that will stand out to your target species. The old adage is to match your lure color to the light conditions. Use bright colors on bright days, neutral colors on cloudy days, and dark colors at night. Red is the first color to disappear since it has the shortest wavelength, followed by orange, yellow, green, and blue. The deeper your lure sinks, the more these colors (in that order) will disappear or turn black. As light fades, these colors will disappear or appear black to fish. Gold and silver are only good on bright days because they reflect the available light. I typically have red, orange, green, blue, white, and gold lures in every jig box. Knowing the natural forage of your target species can also give you a leg up. The available light and type of prey your quarry is chasing will determine which color lure you should ultimately use, but a good starting point is to

match the available light – bright colors on bright days, etc. – but before you change color, change your presentation. Sometimes the slightest difference in the way you present your jig will have far more impact than anything else. Tim Moore is a full time professional fishing guide in New Hampshire.

to announce danger, establish nesting territories or to simply attract a mate. The silence you hear is the end of nesting season and the conclusion of mate selection. Danger lurks everyday, so you may hear it occasionally when cats or hawks are nearby. One certain sound you will hear comes from the geese formations traveling south for the winter. If you look closer, you will see mixed flocks of chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and downy woodpeckers. This only occurs during the cold seasons. Many scientists believe this is due to the “more eyes” theory. Many eyes can find more sources of food and have a greater attention to danger lurking about. Feeding backyard birds for the fall and winter requires some changes in humans as well. During the spring and summer months, we usually prefer locating our feeding stations near the edge of our properties where trees and shrubs offer shelter for our feathered visitors. We wish to use our yards for human activities such as cookouts, outdoor sports and recreation. By keeping our bird feeders away from our homes, we will not spook our winged guests as they dine near our feeder pole systems or hangars. Everyone is usually very content with this arrangement. However, during the snow months, keeping the feeders away from our homes can pose a problem. Do you want to shovel through 50 yards of snow in order to get to these bird feeders? Ice and snow can be treacherous for many people, especially the physically challenged. Some of our customers have injured themselves simply trying to fill bird feeders that were situated too far away from their door. We recommend that you use this autumn season to survey your yard and try to

determine a suitable location that will provide the necessary cover for your songbirds and easy access for you. For many, we have just described the deck or patio area of your backyard. For others, it may be the outdoor porch or roof soffit. Either way, think about the amount of snow or ice removal that will be needed before you can fill your bird feeders. If you are concerned that the chosen location fulfills your requirements but may not offer the required shelter for the birds, we have a simple solution. Go out into the woods now before the snow cover arrives and pick up some large branches that have fallen off the trees. You want ones that are approximately 6-8’ long with many smaller branches coming off the main branch. Tie these along the deck or porch railing, near the feeders but not next to them. By creating this manmade forest, the birds will feel safer coming out into the open area where the bird feeders are now located. The perfect solution for creating a forest within your deck area is available after the Christmas season is over. Ask your neighbors if you can have their old Christmas trees and tie these along your railing instead of the empty tree branches. These fir trees will usually last throughout the winter season and be a welcomed sanctuary to your songbirds. Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls” with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM. Wild Bird Depot has donated over $5,000 to local rehabilitators and local nature centers since 1996. Be sure to check out our blog “Bird Droppings” via our website www.wildbirddepot.com.

We have officially crossed the line into fall and cooler weather is inevitably on the way. When we try to hold onto the fleeting memories of warm summer-to-fall days, we link them to events that are traditions in our lives. One of those is Oktoberfest in Germany (and now around the world) where everyone raises a pint (or liter) and toasts the fruits of their efforts: great beer! Well, we are about to experience two different events right here in the Lakes Region that also celebrate the fruits of many efforts. One of the

Fundamentally Transforming The United States Of America I did v o t e for Ted Cruz in the NH P r e z Primary, as a l o y a l soldier. T e d by Niel Young Advocates Columnist Cruz: “ S i x key policy differences inform my decision. First – and, most important - the U S Supreme Court. For anyone concerned about the Bill of Rights — free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment — the Court hangs in the balance. I have spent my professional career fighting before the Court to defend the Constitution. We are only one justice away from losing our most basic rights, and the next president will appoint as many as four new justices. We know, without a doubt, that every Clinton appointee would be a left-wing ideologue. Trump, in contrast, has promised to appoint justices ‘in the mold of Scalia’. “For some time, I have been seeking greater specificity on this issue, and today the Trump campaign provided that, releasing a very strong list of potential Supreme Court nominees — including Sen. Mike Lee, who would make an extraordinary justice — and making an explicit commitment to nominate only from that list. This commitment matters, and it provides a serious reason for voters to choose to support Trump.” Sen. Cruz, you and I support National Security issues, and preserving THE DOCUMENTS that guide our country! As for a primary race for

the senate seat Ted Cruz occupies while on duty in the Senate, Ted Cruz did the most courageous act of placing his ego aside, to help in electing Donald Trump over Hillary who does not agree with one word I have written. MEMO: When John Kasich of Ohio, does as Cruz has done for Trump, it will be a wonderful thing – doing the right thing for America. Correct John? MEMO: Remind Kelly Ayotte that not endorsing our nominee (Donald Trump) will not play well with those voters who understand that having a Republican in that seat is going to be needed to help pass good legislation. ******** You may begin with Google (www.nowtheendbegins.com/barackobama-plans-destroyunited-states-america/) to find what the community organizer was about. Does this give you a warm and fuzzy feeling? “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – BHO And, we must never forget, and not allow this kind of politician to occupy the office of President again! “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008. ******** The Patriot Post 2/24/2015: Barack Obama’s Summit on Countering Violent Extremism went over about as well as one might expect from an administration determined to deny the truth regarding that extremism’s origins. But the problem is much worse than just seman-

tics. Paul Sperry writes at Investor’s Business Daily, “Between 2010 and 2013, the Obama administration imported almost 300,000 new immigrants from Muslim nations – more immigrants than the U.S. let in from Central America and Mexico combined over that period. … Many of the recent Muslim immigrants are from terrorist hot spots like Iraq, where the Islamic State operates. From 2010-2013, Obama ushered in 41,094 Iraqi nationals from there. Now the State Department says it will quadruple the number of refugees brought here from Syria, where it is headquartered.” Perhaps many or most of these people are truly refugees. But maybe some are jihadis looking for an American gun-free zone to attack. It’s clear that combining Obama’s immigration policies with his views on national security is dangerous, and it could have dire implications for our nation. Amen!

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink

by Dr. Charles Fink

Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center

This is the age of DIY. Many of us are going to our local supply store for advice and materials for those projects around the house, or watching youtube for how to tips. Better still you know a guy with the skills to help you fix that leaky sink or repair the hole in the wall. I propose it’s time for DIY meals. There are many recipes, how to videos and cooking classes available and yet we aren’t cooking. Supermarkets offer more variety than ever and a healthy diet can make all the difference in the fight against pain and inflammation. In a recent article from Time magazine, Mark Bittman, NY Times writer & author of several cookbooks writes, “Shouldn’t preparing and consuming food be a source of com-

fort, pride, health, well being, relaxation, and sociability? Something that connects us to other humans? I’m not talking about creating elaborate dinner parties just simple easy, everyday meals.” He adds, “not cooking is a big mistake and it’s one that’s costing us money, good times, control, serenity and even vastly better health.” Start with the basics and grow from there. In Bittmans book “How to cook everything fast” you can learn some valuable techniques. He recommends “to get comfortable in the kitchen, pare down your ambitions, ease up on your expectations and start with something manageable that you will actually enjoy eating. Like any skill, cooking gets easier as you do it more; every time you cook, you advance your level of expertise.” Planning ahead is key. Get the whole family involved. If you’re single, trade off with a friend or extended family. Make meals that can stretch into other meals. A roast chicken on Sunday could go atop Caesar salad on Monday. Make extra so you can bring your own

Prevention starts with parents! Have a Conversation. Talk Early & Often.

72.9% of Franklin High School students who reported that they use Marijuana also say that they don’t think their parents disapprove.

Regardless of our opinions on adult use,

Marijuana use is not safe for youth. Our brains don’t develop until we are in our midtwenties. Use of any substances, even Marijuana, damages the developing brain. For tips on how to talk to your kids about alcohol and other drugs, click on our link located at the bottom of: www.franklinnh.org

lunch or freeze some for another time. Our busy schedules often don’t allow us the opportunity for a leisurely breakfast, so why not have it for dinner. This is a favorite with the grandkids. Take the time to plan, prepare and enjoy your meals. You will find that you not only eat better, you eat less, feel better and have more energy. The pain and achiness you have will lessen because you are cooking and eating healthier. You will save money as well, an added bonus. A friend shared with me recently that she added up her debit slips from her visits to a local coffee shop. She often went twice a day and the slips added up to $400.00 in just a few months.

“I have tried many different ways to get myself back to myself. I was tired, bloated, no energy, brain fog, just didn’t feel right. Then I saw Dr. Fink’s ad in the paper, which also listed everything I felt and thought, why not, what do I have to lose! So I decided to give him a try. It has been four weeks and I’m actually feeling myself again, now compared to years of not feeling good, this is awesome! I have energy; I think more clearly, all I can say is “thank you” Dr. Fink!” -S.B.

If this describes you and you are ready to take steps for improvement that will put you back in charge of your own health, give us a call today!

Are You Concerned About Falls?

LRGHealthcare offers A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls Have you turned down a chance to go out with family or friends because you were concerned about falling? Have you cut down on a favorite activity because you might fall? If so, A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program for you.

Concerns About Falls in a free 8-week workshop on Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from 9:30-11:30am beginning on September 14 at the Pines Community Center in Northfield. The workshop is co-sponsored by Community Action Program of BelknapMerrimack County Elder Services.

Fear of falling can be just as dangerous as falling itself. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in severe physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. Many older adults also experience increased isolation and depression when they limit their interactions with family and friends. A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life and remain independent.

A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.

DEAR TIM: My husband has been hinting about wanting an impact driver. He claims there are many uses for it around the house. I wonder if he’s trying to pull the wool over my eyes and just get another expensive toy. What’s your feeling about this tool that just looks like a drill to me? --Melanie H., Apple Valley, Calif. DEAR MELANIE: I can understand your skepticism. Some people just want every new shiny object that hits the marketplace. This disease afflicts both women and men equally I feel. The good news is that your husband is hankering after something that’s more than just moderately useful. I own more than one impact driver, and this tool is absolutely one of the top five power tools the average homeowner should own. I only wish they were available decades ago when I was still building 60 hours a week. My productivity would have gone through the roof. If you’ve never used or held an impact driver in your hand, the best way to describe one is to think about the tool auto mechanics use to remove the

Impact driver is more than just a fancy drill lug nuts from a car wheel. Have you ever heard that high-pitched whizz noise and rat-a-tat-tat as the lug nut spins off or is tightened by the air-powered impact driver? This reliable technology that’s been around for years was transferred to the pro and DIY power tool marketplace not too many years ago. These marvelous tools can be used for so many things as long as you get the right one. Even though many look the same, there’s a lot of difference between some of these tools. I prefer the cordless impact drivers because they’re so versatile. Who wants a power cord dragging around if it’s not needed?

design, build or remodel your dream home

My favorite impact driver is made by Milwaukee. It’s got a brushless motor, a 1/4-inch hex drive and three different torque settings. The torque power settings range from 200 to 1,600 inch-pounds of torque. Believe me, that’s more than enough to drive giant 3/8-inch long lag screws into hard yellow pine! There are different voltages you can get with cordless power tools. I happen to be a fan of 18-volt tools, but I probably expect more out of my tool than a casual weekend warrior. There are 12-volt impact drivers that deliver plenty of punch and will drive or remove See builder on 26

Shining a Spotlight on Careers in Construction Featuring A Local Tiny House Workforce Development Initiative

by Lakes Region Builders & Remodelers Association Did you know that it takes an average of 22 different subcontractors to build a home? October is Careers in Construction Month and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect time to recognize the contributions of all the professionals working in residential construction as well as highlight the rewarding careers available in the industry. Indeed, a home builder relies on a number of highly trained workers to get the job done right. This includes dozens of skilled artisans and professionals, including carpenters, architects, engineers, plumbers, electricians, painters and landscapers. Analysis from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) shows that 70% of builders typically use somewhere between 11 and 30 subcontractors to build a single-family home. As the housing market continues to strengthen, home builders across the country and here in Lakes Region are seeking skilled workers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as carpenters, framers and roofers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help them build the American Dream.

many fasteners with just one charge of the lithiumion battery. Here’s just a partial list of some of the jobs this tool will accomplish. I recently used mine to remove screws that held a deck railing in place. The tool also did a remarkable job of removing large lag bolts that held railing posts in place. I used the driver to install giant 5-inch-long timber screws through solid lumber. My impact driver works well for smaller fasteners too. When you need extreme control to drive small

hidden fasteners in between expensive composite decking, then come and borrow my impact driver. I just finished driving hundreds and hundreds of tiny stainless steel screws that are part of the hidden fastening system for my Trex decking. Using the No. 2 torque setting delivered the perfect amount of torque so as not to snap off the screws The hex drive system allows you to use the tool with any number of fasteners. Imagine if you need to drive Phillips-head screws. How about hex-head screws? Do you have to drive Torx

screws or square-drive fasteners? All of these fasteners can be expertly driven into wood, steel or any material with precision using a high-quality impact driver and an assortment of hex-shaft bits. Don’t try to compare an impact driver with a screw gun. The inner mechanics of each tool are radically different. Impact drivers deliver tiny bursts of power that make a much bigger difference in trying to both drive and remove fasteners. When using an impact driver, it’s really important that the bit you’re using is a perfect match for the fastener. If there’s the smallest amount of slop in the fit, either the bit or the fastener will almost always get rounded and ruined as the tool spins rapidly while the fastener doesn’t. If your husband has not used an impact driver, I feel it’s best to have him practice driving different fasteners in scrap pieces of lumber to really get a feel of how the tool works. It’s important not to overdrive certain fasteners. He’ll also discover that, when driving into wood, the wood species makes a big difference. Harder woods can cause fasteners to snap with little warning. I urge you to try the tool too. I believe once you see how amazing an impact driver is, you’ll be glad you approved the purchase. It saves so much work and takes so much stress off your wrists and hands. Keep in mind that the more expensive impact drivers usually have better parts, better engineering and can last generations if cared for. Need an answer?

Weatherizing Your Home With These Easy Tips (BPT) - Cooler seasonal temperatures can have an impact on not only your home, but also your wallet. Along with adjusting your thermostat as the cooler weather embraces much of the country, weatherizing your home also has a direct impact on the amount of energy required to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Follow these five easy DIY home weatherizing tips to increase your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy efficiency and lower the utility bill each month Turn on the humidifier. Increasing the humidity in your home during the cooler months adds moisture to your living space. This raises the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heat index,â&#x20AC;? making 68 degrees feel more like 76 degrees. Be sure to maintain a relative humidity in the home between 20 to 40 percent. As the temperature outside drops, lower this percentage so condensation does not form on the windows. Seal the gaps. Areas such as windows, doors, attic hatches, vents and other seasonally-used areas are prime sources for air leaks, which can cause energy bills to skyrocket. To help main-

tain a controlled climate inside the home and prevent air from leaking in or escaping, weatherize these areas of your home by using a temporary sealant.DAP Seal â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N Peel is an all-season, removable weather-stripping sealant you can easily apply to seal holes, cracks and gaps where air can pass through. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also waterproof, low in odor and dries to a clear finish. And when spring comes and you want to remove it, it peels away easily and cleanly, leaving behind no residue.

If your home uses less than 12 inches of insulation, chances are heat is escaping. Add insulation in the attic to prevent warm air from escaping. Also consider adding insulation in crawl spaces, under floors and against basement walls to stop the transfer of cold through the house. Run your fan in the proper direction. There are layers of air in every living space that vary in degree

thermostat, utility bills follow suit. A warm, comfortable home shouldn’t cost you a small fortune. Luckily, there are some simple strategies for combating the chill while lowering heating costs at the same time. Change The Filters The summer and fall months are a prime time for airborne allergens and microbes, which can clog furnace filters and inhibit airflow. This makes your furnace work harder and in turn, costs you more. Change your filters monthly to help open airflow and save money. Embrace The Sun Want to help heat your home for free during the winter? Pay attention to the sun. Try opening curtains on south-facing windows and the radiant heat from the sun will help naturally heat your home. Just remember to close them at night to keep out the evening chill. Use A Programmable Thermostat You can save up to 10

percent a year on heating and cooling by simply adjusting your thermostat 7-10 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 hours a day, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Use a programmable thermostat to change the temperature for time periods you are sleeping or away from home. Some air conditioning systems can be controlled remotely through a smartphone app like “Smart AC,” which works seamlessly with LG ductfree systems, allowing the homeowners to wirelessly connect, control and monitor the temperature through an easy-to-use smartphone app. Consider Installing A Duct-Free Mini-Split System To Provide Zoned Heating Instead of moving air through ductwork as central heating and air conditioning systems do, duct-free systems deliver warm conditioned air directly into a room. Duct-free systems like those from LG provide high-performance zone heating, allowing homeowners to keep their See ideas on 31

of temperature. Because the warmest air is closest to the ceiling, running your ceiling fan in a clockwise direction in the winter months pushes the warm air up against the ceiling and then down the walls. This recirculates warm air through the room without a cool breeze and offsets the workload of the HVAC. Get a home energy audit. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve completed the four tasks above and your energy bill is still unusually high, it might be time to request a home energy audit to pinpoint problem areas in your home. This will help identify the problem areas

and help you make the necessary improvements for an efficient home. In fact, you could save 5 to 30 percent on your energy bill by repairing issues found in a home energy audit, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Bonus tip! Invest in a programmable thermostat. Prevent working your heating equipment overtime by installing a programmable thermostat to automatically raise and lower the air temperature based on the time of day or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away from home. By turning your thermostat back even eight degrees for eight hours a day, you can save as much

as 10 percent on your annual heating costs. By taking steps to properly weatherize your home and increase its efficiency, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to maintain a comfortable interior more easily, and save money in the meantime.

Parents, teachers, counselors and students must once again recognize that a vocational education can offer satisfying career paths and financial gains. Lakes Region Builders & Remodelers Association (LRBRA) is pleased to be a part of a workforce development initiative designed to put students from Career Technical Centers (CTC) construction programs together with NH Home Builder Association members (as mentors).

bedrooms toasty warm at night when it’s frigid outside, while turning the heat down (or off!) in the rest of the home to help save energy. Clear Heat Registers One common mistake homeowners make is covering heat registers with furniture, toys or other items that block the heat flow. To improve heating efficiency, inspect all heat registers in your home and remove anything that’s blocking them. Seal Leaks And Lock Windows Phantom heat loss is a huge energy drain. Test for leaks by using a flashlight to see if light filters through cracks or try pulling a dollar bill through. Then, seal air leaks around utility cut-throughs, chimneys and recessed lights with spray foam. Use caulk and weather stripping to seal windows and doorway drafts. Don’t forget to close and lock windows and doors. Locking pulls the components tight against the weatherstripping to block cold air from entering the home. Consider Installing An Energy Star Certified Heating System Energy Star certified energy-efficient products provide superior performance while saving energy to help lessen the impact on the world around

us. The EPA Energy Star program identifies heating and cooling products that are energy efficient and can save you money.

dollars a week and after seven years became a part owner of the paper. He had a reputation of getting what he wanted and at his request, but also at his surprise, was appointed as United States Minister to Greece and Montenegro (19091912) by President Taft and served in the United States Senate from 1918 to 1933. He was President pro tempore of the Senate during the sixty-ninth through seventy-second sessions. Moses died in 1944 and his body was buried in Franklin Cemetery, Franklin,N.H. Though at least one reporterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of Senator Moses was that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to ask for what he wanted and most frequently received what he asked for, the Senator expressed his opinion that Warren Harding used his position as a Senator as a fast track to the White House and that the other ninety-five senators all had the ambition to become President and were trying to arrange for that scenario to come true. He excluded himself from that list, stating that he did not want to be and

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to become the President. It might be well for the writer of the scrapbook article Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve referred to and gleaned much of the information in this column that I cannot tell you his name because, while referring to Senator Moses as an irritant to many people, his own comments might have been and still be irritating to New Hampshire voters. Apparently borrowing from a college song he stated that New Hampshire voters have granite in their muscles and in their brains. They are also described as having â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś silent and sour laughs,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a penetrating New Hampshire nasal accent.â&#x20AC;? He says a school in Alton, N.H., where George Moses once taught was called â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Śhigh because it was upstairs.â&#x20AC;? The columnist also stated that a Young George Moses tried to sell Houghtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patent Political Reversible Maps, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śbut never sold any of them, because New Hampshire voters carry their political maps in their heads and shrink from reversibility.â&#x20AC;? The outspoken New Hampshire Senator Moses who served during prohi-

bition years is reported to have openly stated that if his fellow senators voted as they drank then alcoholic beverages would be more easily seen in our cities. He was a supporter of John Wingate Weeks, who had an estate in Lancaster , N.H., for President of the United States during the 1916 election year and gave keynote addresses. He apparently became a very active ambassador to Greece during his time of representing the United States in that country and continued to work on their behalf after returning to serve in the United States. You might have difficulty finding much about George Higgins Moses in the history books, but apparently he was one who kept things stirred up in Congress because he did not conform to the expected demeanor of a senator. He may have been an irritating person to many people, but according to my unknown informant, a contemporary of the Senator, â&#x20AC;&#x153; George Higgins Moses, of Concord, New Hampshire, has got the goods and can deliver.â&#x20AC;?

children, and that responsibility should not be taken away by â&#x20AC;&#x153;expertsâ&#x20AC;? who seem to think their beliefs must be taken as education gospel. In New Hampshire, charter schools operate under the provisions of RSA 194, which cover everything from definitions and operating rules, to financing, responsibilities, the approval process, and admissions. The state Department of Education website provides information on charters in more easily to digest format. Charter schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;are public and tuition-free schoolsâ&#x20AC;? with a focus that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique and based on the educational needs and interests of a particular community.â&#x20AC;? A schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;performance contract detailing its mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment, and ways to measure success.â&#x20AC;? While charter schools â&#x20AC;&#x153;operate with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools,â&#x20AC;? they â&#x20AC;&#x153;have the flexibility to choose the methods and processes they believe will best help the school deliver resultsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;agree to greater accountability.â&#x20AC;? In other words, charter schools are designed to meet the needs of a particular subset of students. That subset is defined during the state approval process and is different for each charter. Whether you find nefarious purpose in that or believe it to be a good way of matching students with the right educational opportunity depends upon which thing you hold more dear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; students, or the status quo. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the fault of traditional public schools that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be all things to all students. No system could. The fault is with those who believe that the needs of the currentlyconfigured public education system should trump the needs of individual students, and who set up false comparisons to bolster their case.

With a Democrat President, Attorney General, Cabinet Secretaries, Governors, Senators, Congressmen, Mayors, Aldermen, Police Chiefs, prosecutors, judges, and other Democrat officials, many of whom are black, controlling Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cities and trillions of dollars of spending, the conditions of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner city poor would improve IF Democrat politicians wanted them improved. But, Democrat politicians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to jeopardize a reliable Democrat votingblock. Surprisingly most blacks keep voting for politicians from the same Democrat party that opposed citizenship for former slaves and the civil rights act; that supported slavery, Jim Crow laws, the KKK, and segregation; that supports the Davis-Bacon and minimum wage laws intended to exclude blacks from good jobs; that support the policies that destroy good jobs; that control the welfare system that breaks up families; and that control the law enforcement that allows criminals to victimize neighborhoods; etc. Democrat politicians fight against the Republican policies that would help inner city blacks, e.g., school choice, economic growth providing jobs, and the strong law enforcement that allows people to live in safe neighborhoods. Republicans want all Americans to succeed, to get good educations, to have good jobs, to live in safe neighborhoods, to have loving intact families, and to have good reasons to expect a better future. Are you oppressed if you can easily end your oppression but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do so? Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor, including blacks, have the power to end their selfimposed â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppressionâ&#x20AC;? by electing people who want them to succeed, Republicans.

Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Raâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ad Al Hussein, bloviated against â&#x20AC;&#x153;race-baiting bigots, who seek to gain, or retain, power by wielding prejudice and deceit, at the expense of those most vulnerable.â&#x20AC;? What he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about: the decades-old corruption, fraud, and abuse perpetrated by the U.N. itself and its vast refugee bureaucracy. In Malaysia, U.N. refugee officials have been implicated in black market schemes to sell United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees cards and false identity papers in order to get resettled in the United States, Australia and Canada. In Lebanon, Arabiclanguage newspaper Al Monitor reported this year that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aid organizations have become fountains of corruption, while â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;humanitarian mafiasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accrue massive sumsâ&#x20AC;? through U.N. funding. Last year, fiscal watchdogs blew the whistle on systemic management of the U.N. refugee agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly billiondollar budget over the last two years. An internal audit deemed every measure of financial controls over refugee relief funds â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsatisfactory.â&#x20AC;?

law -- and American freedom -- for decades after that Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term of office is over. Hillary Clinton has already said that she wants to see the current Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision overturned in a case where they ruled, by a 5 to 4 vote, that both corporations and labor unions have free speech rights. On other issues as well, she has advocated curtailments on free speech. And without free speech, there is no effective limit on what any administration can do. On racial issues, Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly pushed the idea that

blacks are besieged by enemies on all sides, and need her to protect them -- in exchange for their votes. Trump has at least supported charter schools, which are one of the few avenues through which the next generation of blacks can get a decent education. There are no good choices, but nevertheless we must choose.

The report came just two years after another internal assessment raised red flags over â&#x20AC;&#x153;the lack of adequate managerial controlâ&#x20AC;? by U.N. officials contracting with third parties purportedly helping refugees. All that came in the wake of the latest U.N. rape epidemic earlier this spring involving peacekeepers in the Central African Republican who sexually abused civilians, including more than 100 girls in one prefecture. That outbreak follows years of brutal exploitation by U.N. staff members in Nairobi who shook down African refugees seeking resettlement in North America, Europe and Australia while the U.N. looked the other way. And that scandal ran parallel to another widespread U.N. peacekeepersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sexual predator ring involving refugees that stretched from the

Congo to Bosnia and Eastern Europe. U.N. brass downplayed the barbaric treatment of refugees in its care as the result of a few rogues. But rape rooms and internet pedophile video productions were run by senior U.N. officials and other civilian personnel, untold numbers of whom fathered babies with young girls and teens held as prostitutes and sex slaves. Nothing has changed. Before the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policemen barge in on us again to denigrate our efforts to protect our home, they should spare us the refugee sanctimony and clean up their own.

been killed thus far in the five year conflict aimed at toppling the authoritarian Assad regime. Yet Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short lived cease fire, brokered by the USA and Russia seemed in tatters as both sides were accused of airstrikes, which mistakenly hit the wrong targets. American warplanes mistakenly struck a Syrian military position which Washington conceded was a horrible mistake. Russia is accused of bombing a UN humanitarian convoy outside the besieged city of Aleppo. Political pyrotechnics continued as both Russia and the USA traded accusations which evoked Cold War rhetoric; Sergei Lavrov blamed the chaos in the Middle East on â&#x20AC;&#x153;foreign military interventions.â&#x20AC;? Secretary of State John Kerry accused his Russian counterpart of living in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;parallel universe.â&#x20AC;? During the General Assemblyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual debate speakers offered a litany of proposals and plans concerning Syria which could solve the conflict and the burgeoning millions of refugees pouring out of this tragic cauldron.

Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prime Minister Theresa May stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly we need to continue our efforts to bring an end to the conflict and the appalling slaughter in Syria and get aid through to those who need it.â&#x20AC;? U.S. President Barack Obama, in a wide-ranging and pedantic speech, dealt little with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragic civil war and the mindless medieval menace of ISIL.â&#x20AC;? The Spanish Civil war of 1936-39 became a tragic proxy conflict among Nazi Germany and Italy on one side and Soviet Russia and the International Left on the other. Today Syria has emerged as a global cause for all sides to either help the oppressive Assad regime as do Russia and Iran, or to support a gaggle of militant rebel groups as does the U.S. The deepest danger comes from Islamic State (ISIL) terrorists backed by Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. Significantly, Syria has become a laser-like rallying point for jihadi radicals from Britain to Belgium and France and even the USA. But beyond the war there are the refugees. Neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and the Kingdom of Jordan

have given refuge to the overwhelming number of the 4.8 million who have fled Syria. Many of those migrants head for Western Europe, over a million of whom flooded into Germany and Sweden last year alone. But even Lebanese Prime Minister Salam warned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We declare that our country is not a country of permanent asylum and that it is a final homeland for the Lebanese only.â&#x20AC;? He added tiny Lebanon hosts displaced Syrians that equal one third of its population. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, of the six million displaced people inside Syria, any wider escalation of the conflict will send new waves of people fleeing the country and often towards Europe. The international community has done an admirable job in helping Syrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humanitarian symptoms. Politicians must find the talent and courage to solve the political Problem.
