Lakes Region Home Show This Weekend!

These young explorers are closely watching the start of the maple sugar process at Prescott Farm on White Oaks Road in Laconia during one of the Farm’s March Maple Sugar Madness weekends. This month brings this succulent sweet syrup back in production around the state, including a Maple Weekend with 100 sugar houses around New Hampshire. courtesy Photo

March Means Maple Syrup March means two things in New Hampshire: spring is just around the corner and Maple Syrup season is upon us once again. Maple syrup has a grand history and has become a significant part of our culture here in New Hampshire and the northeast.

Its beginnings are credited to early settlers and the Native American tribes that dates back to the 1500s according to journals, but most likely its discovery was many years before. Over the course of time, maple syrup production has gone from wooden

buckets of sap cooked over iron kettles, to more elaborate machinery that is used today to make production more efficient. Today natural maple syrup can be easily bought in the shelves of supermarkets but the sap that was produced to make it

still comes from some of the same maple trees that were used for production during the days of George Washington’s presidency and it still depends heavily on the weather. It will not run every day if weather conditions are not right. See maple on 18

Spring is officially only a few days away but the mild winter here in the Lakes Region has everyone turning their attention to Spring Home Improvement. The annual Lakes Region Home Show, this Saturday and Sunday, March 9th and 10th at the Conference Center at The Lake Opechee Inn and Spa in Laconia, couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Once again The Weirs Times is the print sponsor for this year’s show. You’ll find our show guide in the middle of this week’s issue. Along with a handy map to help you find your way around the event, you’ll find some clever home improvement tips. The hours for the Home Show are Saturday, March 9th, from 9am-5pm and Sunday, March 10th, from 10am-4pm. As always there is free parking on site and free admission too. You can find more details at www.WLNH.com.

Annie’s Book Stop Hosts Self-Publishing Event J.P. Polidoro, Ph.D. (“The Good Dr. Jack�) will be coming to Annie’s to speak with perspective authors on Saturday, March 16th from 2-4pm. to share his experiences with self-publishing, writing and self-promotion of his books. He is the author of ten novels including his essay “Six Feet from Grace,� written about Grace Metalious marking the 50th anniversary of her novel “Peyton Place. His mysteries are New England based, and medical murder related, often with sinister motives, incorporating his background knowledge of medical research and biology. His graduate degrees are from the University of Massachusetts, and he works in the biopharmaceutical industry in toxicology R&D. His novel, “Tattoo� takes place at Weirs Beach about the time of the 83rd Annual Bike Week gathering and is a torrid plot of black leather, lace, romance, domination and unscrupulous deceit. A New Jersey motorcycle gang and a tattooist are suspect, yielding twists and turns as Don Wright (news photographer), the police, and a coroner seek a motive for the crime, culminating in a hold-your-breath, thriller ending! If you are looking to publish your work, but have questions, don’t know where to begin, or just want to meet a local author come to Annie’s Book Stop, 1330 Union Avenue as there will be ample time for Q&A. Some of Jack’s books will be available for sale and signing. His website is www.longtailpublishing.com.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Lesson Wasted

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

It was back in 2007 that I was taken to task by some readers for having the audacity to rail against the “Little Children And Puppy Dogs� rule that the New Hampshire legislature invoked in making the pumpkin our state fruit. It was a group of wellmeaning elementary school children form Harrisville, who travelled to the State House (not a short trip by any means) six years ago to present their argument that the pumpkin should have this designation. It was also to be a lesson in how a bill becomes a law. What better way to get away from boring book learning than to get some real-life, hands-on experiences about how the process works. Hopefully, it would be treated as any bill would. Maybe, a few arguments, a vote to take it to committee or maybe even a decision to scrap the bill entirely. Maybe make them bring back a new version every year until they finally get right the language and the votes. And, if things still looked bleak, bus in elementary school kids, many from other states, to protest for the pumpkin in front of the state house. It might be a hard lesson in the end, but a lesson well-learned in understanding how our democracy works. But that wasn’t to be the case. The students were embraced and their bill passed

with nary a blip, or even a reality, on how a bill becomes law. It was another case of the “Little Children And Puppy Dogs� rule which goes hand-in-hand with the “Don’t Worry Kids, Everyone Wins And Gets A Medal� syndrome. There were a few lawmakers who actually tried to show the school children how the process works. They had concerns about the bill, some even thinking it wasn’t even a good idea, just like every other bill that comes forward in the house. In this case, going against the bill was akin to treason. Because these legislators dared to go against the “Little Children And Puppy Dogs� rule, they were chastised and brow beaten and called on the carpet in newspapers and even on the TV news. Six years have passed and the memories of that debacle have diminished. Last week the “Little Children and Puppy Dogs� rule once again reared its ugly head. This time it was a group of fourth-graders from Derry who came to the state house (not a short trip by any means) to see how the legislative process works by trying to get their bill to make the white potato designated as New Hampshire’s state vegetable. I’m sure the first thought that pops into your head right now is “The potato is a vegetable?� It seems like there might be better choices. I never imagined that when I was told to eat my vegetables it could mean a plate of French Fries. Seemed to me like this would be a battle. There had to be other, more significant choices for this designation. I thought for sure that these kids would have a hard fight on their hands and would have to

“work the process� in order to have their bill even considered. It was set-up to be a true civics lesson and an enlightening day for these school children to really understand the process. I even heard there might be some friction from the broccoli crowd. Or so I thought. Seems it was no battle at all. The kids arrived, ready to learn and once again, left without a clue to how things work in government. The “Little Children And Puppy Dogs� rule prevailed once again and the bill easily passed in a feel good vote for most legislators. Fortunately, there were a few NH House members who actually had the nerve to vote against this bill, seventy-five of them in fact. But since it wasn’t a roll call vote, their names will never be known. That might be a good thing come reelection. After all, what person in this politically correct world we live in today could ever in good conscience, vote for anyone who went against the “Little Children And Puppy Dogs� rule. So, once the NH Senate uses the rule too, which I’m sure they will, the white potato will be our state vegetable (not even those who scream about racial inequality in these politically correct mad times, would dare open their mouths about this one). Is it the best choice? I never really thought about it and I guess, as far as stuff that is actually important in these crazy times, it doesn’t really matter. What matters more is that a really cool learning opportunity was wasted all in the name of not hurting some kids’ feelings. I’m glad I grew up when I did.

To The Editor: Locals Sen. David Watters (D-Dover) and Rep. Pat Lovejoy (D-Stratham) think so. They’ve sponsored HB0607 which would increase our Gasoline tax by $.22 (by July 1). Did they notice gas is almost $4.00 a gallon, and rose about $.40 recently? Legislators have 100 different ways to raise revenues. Gas and Oil are not good choices this year. Because food is largely trucked in, food prices would also increase. Say it ain’t so! Elections have consequences. 7 of 9 bill sponsors are Democrats. David Martin Dover, NH.

Green Mountains? To The Editor: Are wind farms safe for New Hampshire’s mountain tops? With recent nor’easter winds topping 70MPH, snow, ice and frigid weather, winter creates complications for industrial wind turbines in New Hampshire. But what about summer weather? What about lightning strikes on those 454 foot steel poles. They look to be the perfect conductor of electricity when it comes to summer storms. A summer thunder and lightning storm is spectacular — and scary - to watch as it comes across the lake. But, how will those iron poles hold up? Will the blades explode, and create forest fires?

Our Story

Will we see a repeat of what happened to Mt. Cardigan in 1855? How would our fire crews respond to a forest fire in our region? Are they being trained properly on how to deal with turbine fires? And are those roads easily accessible year round for emergency vehicles? Questions like these must be addressed and must be weighted by past actions and not by future promises - like that in Groton. Expect the truth, demand the truth and pound the table if they don’t tell you the truth. This is exactly what happens when you throw wads and wads of tax payer money at projects - projects without true LEADERSHIP. And don’t forget our LEADERSHIP is being tempted by wads and wads of money from these developers. Industrial turbine developers are not wanted on Newfound Lake. They are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to convert us into becoming green energy fans: truck signs, yard signs, multiple mailings, multiple telemarketing calls, many town hall meetings with limited materials or answers to questions, presentations to our children in school to gain support, etc. It’s like an election year gone bad. We love our lake as you do yours. Please help us in our moratorium fight, we’ll do the same when it’s your turn.

Have They Violated Our Trust? To The Editor: In 1640 the King of England gave a grant of land to Philip Towle, one of my ancestors. He was one of 10 farmers invited to New Hampshire to establish a settlement of Englishmen to block the advance of French settlers in Quebec. For many years Towles were loyal British subjects. At the time of our revolution as King George the Third became oppressive, with excessive taxation and harassment, Towles joined the tea party. They have since that time been patriots against oppressive government. In Dover we had been seeing excessive taxation under the leadership of Mayor Scott Myers and City Manager Paul Beecher. They were assisted in their excessive spending by a few financially irresponsible city council members. They increased city spending and debt to very high levels. They forget that the homeowners don’t work for them. Those we elect and appoint - work for us. They raised our taxes much faster than the inflation rate. Their allies were rewarded with high salaries and benefits which have burdened Dover homeowners. Included in their wild excessive spending was the compensation package and extraordinary pension of our former police chief. Mr. Fenniman retired at the age of 48 and started drawing a pension of $135,000 immediately, the highest pension See mail boat on 24

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, March 7, 2013

As most of my students are around 20 years-old, they have no recollection of the NBA of the early 1980s. It may be hard to believe now, but the league was in big trouble. The championship finals were not even shown on live network television. Attendance was down and drug scandals threatened by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

STEVE CANDELORO AND DAVID STERN Last week my sports management students enjoyed an excellent guest lecture from Steve Candeloro, presently a media/ marketing consultant in Nashua, and formerly with the merchandising group that ran the National Basketball Association retail outlet in New York City. Candeloro spoke of his interesting life’s journey and how networking, persistence and attitude are so important to career success. And why it also helps to speak well, dress nicely, and be on time. A native New Yorker, Candeloro went from community college to the New York Institute of Technology television production, where he assisted with television programming ranging from “Another World” to “Life with Regis and Kathie Lee,” and “MTV News.” He also worked in retail at places like “Toys R Us” before spending ten years with the NBA. While his situation in New York allowed him to meet U.S. Presidents and other heads of state, he particularly enjoyed getting Christmas cards from the likes of Lebron James. But what particularly interested me was the inside scoop on what it was like working for NBA Commissioner David Stern, who’ll be retiring next year after guiding the NBA through 30 hoop seasons.

Media/Marketing Consultant Steve Candeloro. to permanently degrade the league’s image. Under Stern’s leadership, the NBA grew and prospered, eventually becoming a model for every other professional sports league. Revenues and salaries skyrocketed, and creative marketing gave the NBA a world-wide following. The NBA now has 11 foreign offices and is televised in 215 countries. It’s fashionable to begrudge CEOs the large salaries that so many of them make, but whatever Stern has been paid, he’s been worth it, given the billions of dollars in salaries that have been paid out under his leadership, and the countless sports jobs that have been gen-

erated. Among many other initiatives, Stern launched the WNBA. Not bad for a diminutive attorney who probably couldn’t even make a three-pointer! PLYMOUTH STATE ICE HOCKEY It was fun to get up to Plymouth State University Hanaway Rink last week to see the top-seeded Panthers score a 7-1 MASCAC semi-final win against traditional small college power Fitchburg State. The crowd was loud and the energy level high. The game was a reminder of how sports can so-enhance campus life. It was also a reminder of how important quality facilities are. Throughout much of the Plymouth hockey program’s history, the team played outdoors and at off campus locations in Holderness, New Hampton, and Waterville Valley. Now with the beautiful new Hanaway Rink facility, the team is part of the campus’ social fabric and has drawn thousands of people to PSU who otherwise would not have visited the Home of the Panthers. It’s a small college version of what Wildcat ice hockey has meant to the University of New Hampshire in Durham. The victory over Fitchburg gave PSU a 12-1 home record this season, and allowed them to host See moffett on 21

From The State House Communist Goals (1963)

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963 - Current Communist Goals On January 10, 1963 the Hon. A.S. Herlong, Jr. read into the NH House of Representatives Congressional Record by Rep. Jane of Florida, a Cormier list of “goals” Belknap District 8 proposed by Communist supporters to infiltrate free societies. There are many more “goals” on this list (Current Communist Goals, “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen). Many people in our country do not believe this agenda exists but when you read some of the listed “goals” below, you will see how far the Communist/Socialist agenda has progressed in America. It is sad to say, Socialism is alive and well in our country. We all need to be

informed about this threat to our Constitutional Republic. Printed here are thirteen of the most eye-opening “goals” that were recorded on that day in 1963: CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS • Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. • Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. • Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks. • Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editoSee cormier on 23

Sequestration & Stupidity WASHINGTON -- The screeching you hear in Washington is t h e s o u n d of politicians slamming their mouths into reverse as they back away from by Oliver North their previous Syndicated Columnist positions on the misnamed “budget sequester.” For weeks now, we have been told that an $85 billion reduction in the rate of increase in federal spending -- a 2.4 percent cut -- will have devastating consequences for our nation. According to administration spokesmen and supporters, the sequestration means reduced agricultural inspections and the prospect of tainted food, cuts in childhood immunizations and more ill kids, long delays at airport security checkpoints, air traffic disruptions and dangerous vulnerabilities on our frontiers and ports of entry as U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are furloughed. And of course, fewer police, firemen and park rangers on duty means that lawbreakers are going to run rampant in our communities and that forest fires will threaten us all. Supposedly, we also will have to live with dirtier air and water and the prospect of an environmental catastrophe. Even our weather forecasts -- and warnings about hazardous storms in the midst of an era of “climate change” -- will be adversely affected. In short, just about everything we count on the federal government to do for us is coming to a screeching halt. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano issued an alert that “the nation will be less safe.” Attorney General Eric Holder warned us that the “cuts” will mean fewer FBI agents to apprehend criminals and that “prosecutors will have to let criminals

go.” Secretary of Education Arne Duncan even took time off from his celebrity basketball duties to tell a Sunday talk show that teachers in West Virginia “are getting pink slips.” But none of that is true -- unless the administration wants it to be so. FBI and Border Patrol agents won’t be laid off -- but the rate of hiring new ones may be slowed. Prosecutors aren’t going to let criminals go free. And even the proObama editors at The Washington Post couldn’t find a single West Virginia teacher put out of work by the sequestration. There is only one part of the sequestration that will have an immediate adverse effect on the safety and security of American citizens: the rigid reductions in operations and maintenance funding for our armed forces. Military personnel won’t be fired or furloughed. But civilian employees and contractors supporting our troops in the field and providing medical care for our wounded will be. Congress and the White House could fix those problems by giving the Department of Defense and our intelligence services flexibility in where they make cuts. They should do so immediately. Meanwhile, just so we all know that bizarre behavior is not the sole purview of the executive branch, the U.S. House of Representatives has joined the race for D.C. dunce. On Feb. 28, the House passed the Senate’s version of the Obama administration’s expanded Violence Against Women Act. Left-leaning pundits proclaim that the new law will somehow provide additional protections for American Indian women, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people and immigrants. In short, you are covered by this “new protection” as long as you can prove you are not a heterosexual white male.

The White House Court Jesters of Sequester T r a f f i c alert: There’s a massive clown car pileup in the Beltway. And with the White House court jesters of sequester by Michelle Malkin b e h i n d t h e Syndicated Columnist wheel, no one is safe. Fiscal sanity, of course, is the ultimate victim. President Obama has been warning America that if Congress allows mandatory spending “cuts” of a piddly-widdly 2 percent to go into effect this week, the sky will fall. The manufactured crisis of “sequestration” was Obama’s idea in the first place. But that hasn’t stopped the Chicken Little in Chief from surrounding himself with every last teacher, senior citizen and emergency responder who will be catastrophically victimized by hardhearted Republicans. Curses on those meanie Republicans! How dare they acquiesce to the very plan for “cuts” -- or rather, negligible reductions in the explosive rate of federal spending growth -- that Obama himself hatched? How low will the kick-the-can Democrats go? Among the ridiculous claims the administration is making: The National Drug Intelligence Center will lose $2 million from its $20 million budget. That scary factoid appears in an ominous Office of Management

and Budget report purporting to calculate the Sequester Disaster. So lock the doors and hide the children, right? Wrong. As Reason magazine’s Mike Riggs points out, the NDIC shut down in June 2012, and some of its responsibilities were absorbed by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Ready for more reckless, feckless farce? Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano played Henny Penny during a panicked speech at the Brookings Institution Tuesday. She warned that her agency’s “core critical mission areas” would be undermined by the sequester. To cynically underscore the point, “waves” of illegal aliens were released this week from at least three detention centers in Texas, Florida and Louisiana, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed the release of some illegal immigrants Monday night, but would not say how many or from which detention centers. The real punch line, as I’ve reported relentlessly, is that the catch and release of criminal illegal aliens has been bipartisan standard operating procedure for decades. The persistent deportation and removal abyss allows hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens -- many of them known repeat criminal offenders -- to pass through the immigration court system and then disappear

into the ether because we have no determined will to track them down and kick them all out of the country. While Napolitano shrieks about decimation of the DHS workforce, DHS workers tell me that the

double-dipping of retired ICE brass -- who get back on the payroll as “rehired annuitants” -- is rampant. While this open-borders White House phonily gnashes its teeth See malkin on 26

Shepherds and Sheep John Stuart Mill’s classic essay “On Liberty” gives reasons why some people should not be taking over other people’s decisions about their by Thomas Sowell own lives. Syndicated Columnist But Professor Cass Sunstein of Harvard has given reasons to the contrary. He cites research showing “that people make a lot of mistakes, and that those mistakes can prove extremely damaging.” Professor Sunstein is undoubtedly correct that “people make a lot of mistakes.” Most of us can look back over our own lives and see many mistakes, including some that were very damaging. What Cass Sunstein does not tell us is what sort of creatures, other than people, are going to override our mistaken decisions for us. That is the key flaw in the theory and agenda of the left. Implicit in the wide range of efforts on the left to get government to take over more of our decisions for us is the assumption that there is some superior class of people who are either wiser or nobler than the rest of us. Yes, we all make mistakes. But do governments not make bigger and more catastrophic mistakes? Think about the First World War, from which nations on both sides ended up worse off than before, after an unprecedented carnage that killed substantial fractions of whole younger generations and left millions starving amid the rubble of war. Think about the Holocaust, and about other government slaughters of even more millions of innocent men, women and children

under Communist governments in the Soviet Union and China. Even in the United States, government policies in the 1930s led to crops being plowed under, thousands of little pigs being slaughtered and buried, and milk being poured down sewers, at a time when many Americans were suffering from hunger and diseases caused by malnutrition. The Great Depression of the 1930s, in which millions of people were plunged into poverty in even the most prosperous nations, was needlessly prolonged by government policies now recognized in retrospect as foolish and irresponsible. One of the key differences between mistakes that we make in our own lives and mistakes made by governments is that bad consequences force us to correct our own mistakes. But government officials cannot admit to making a mistake without jeopardizing their whole careers. Can you imagine a President of the United States saying to the mothers of America, “I am sorry your sons were killed in a war I never should have gotten us into”? What is even more relevant to Professor Sunstein’s desire to have our betters tell us how to live our lives, is that so many oppressive and even catastrophic government policies were cheered on by the intelligentsia. Back in the 1930s, for example, totalitarianism was considered to be “the wave of the future” by much of the intelligentsia, not only in the totalitarian countries themselves but in democratic nations as well. The Soviet Union was being praised to the skies by such literary luminaries as George Bernard Shaw in Britain and Edmund See Sowell on 24

Rumor has it that Freddy Picariello was on a skiing trip in New Hampshire when his buddies thought it was time to come up with an appropriate stage name for the future star. The entourage passed a sign displaying the ski area’s name and someone hollered, “Hey Picariello, with a booming voice like yours, why don’t you call yourself Freddy Cannon?” I first met Cannon through a mutual friend, Bob Clayton of “Boston Ballroom” WHDH Radio fame in 1959. Cannon had been booked to appear at a rock & roll show that 1 had put together with Clayton and boy, did he make a smash! The first song that really bought the house down was what eventually became the number six hit of 1959, “Tallahassie Lassie,” a tune that was penned by Cannon’s mother. “Tallahassie Lassie” was a shock wave of exciting sounds coupled with a driving beat and an echo chamber effect that set Cannon’s booming voice on fire! “She comes from Tallahassie, she’s got a hi fi chassis!” His fans couldn’t get enough of what soon came to be known as the “Philadelphia sound.” Cannon’s energy level was much higher than any star of his class as his body moved up, down and

sideways as he belted out some of teenage America’s favorite songs. Cannon later returned to the area for a return engagement on a local television show that I hosted and, to his credit, the amount of mail we received after the appearance was enormous. The Freddy Cannon known by his friends in Lynn, MA., is a hard working guy truly destined to reach the top. His follow up hit, “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans” was another million seller as Cannon exploded onto the rock & roll airwaves. Soon, the name Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon became nationally known as the energetic rocker rolled up hit after hit. In 1962, Cannon released “Palisades Park,” a tune which was written by Chuck Barris and became a giant of a hit and later Danny and the Juniors enlisted his aid on “Rock and Roll is Here to Stay.” Cannon became a nationwide success because his music was warm, fun to listen to and crackled with enthusiasm. Some of his other hits worth mentioning are “Okefeno-

kee” “Jump Over,” “Happy Shades of Blue” “Buzz Buzz A Diddle” “Transistor Sister” “Abigail Beecher” “OK Wheeler, the Used Car Dealer,” “Action” and many, many more. England welcomed the “Boomer from Boston” with open arms and he returned their hospitality with some great performances. Yes, even they realized that the best way to describe Cannon’s style is to feel all the good times you’ve ever had listening to a song, snapping your fingers or dancing with a wide smile covering your face. When you allow yourself to feel those happy times once again, then Freddy Cannon’s “boom boom” beat will light the rockets of pleasant memories over and over.

Like 2 Get Away / Cruise Planners THIS MONTH’S FEATURED GETAWAY

Come Sail Away With Us!

Three Tips to Help Couples Plan Their Financial Future Experts say that with good communication and solid planning, couples can put themselves in the right position to build a solid financial future together. “American couples across all demographics need to spend time talking about financial and retirement issues sooner rather than later,” says Tim Johnson, chief investment strategist for Lincoln Financial Network. “A couple should literally ask each other, ‘What are we really trying to accomplish here and what do you want out of this whole thing?’” As part of an ongoing effort to educate consumers about financial preparedness, Lincoln Financial recently launched a set of tips and actionable steps designed to help people achieve financial wellbeing: • Plan with Purpose: When reviewing investments and solutions that can help grow and protect wealth, couples need to have a shared plan in mind and an understanding of what’s important. Remember, the conversation doesn’t have to be all budgets and numbers. You can engage your loved one by talking about concrete goals, such as a wedding, vacations and homeownership. • Be Engaged, No Matter What: Don’t throw your hands up at uncertain economic conditions. The market has always gone up and down. Volatility is just part of investing. So rather than toss account statements into a pile of unopened mail, identify what’s working well and build on it. For what’s not working well, rebalance portfolios, as necessary.

You can stay motivated as a couple by celebrating small steps along the way. Be sure to reward yourself responsibly when something good happens. • Communicate: Each person in the relationship has an opportunity to take steps, both large and small, that help achieve short- and long-term financial goals. But working together is important. A couple is most powerful when pulling in the same direction. A trusted financial professional can help you get on the same page and

chart a solid path to the future. Be sure to hold regular financial meetings to address weaknesses and celebrate successes. Make it fun. Understanding who your partner is and what motivates him or her can make for a strong relationship and a solid future. For more tips, visit www. BeAChiefLifeOfficer.com. A healthy financial relationship is a building block for a healthy overall relationship. Take steps now to define your priorities, so you can begin working toward your shared goals.

Will This Never End? by Rev. Victoria Wood Parrish Contributing Writer

We are about half of the way through the Christian celebration of Lent, and I am hearing the usual complain‌ “Will this never end?â€? Forty days of self-inspection, hymns in minor keys, fasting‌or whatever it is that you do to observe this season. Forty days is a long time! But I also hear the same complaint in other areas of our lives. “Will this snow never end?â€? “Will this hospital stay never end?â€? “Will this flare-up never end?â€? Will this winter never end?â€? Even, “Will this life never end?â€? We live in the here and now, the meantime between what was promised and what will come. We know that spring will come, health may return and the healing of death is ahead. But it isn’t yet. There are times when we don’t want the meantime to end – when someone we love is dying and we don’t want to lose them, or the romance is spectacular, the sunset is beautiful, or the party is beyond belief. We wish we could hang on to the moment. The disciples felt this when they accompanied Jesus to the Mount and saw him transfigured, in a new light. “Can’t we stay here with you,â€? they asked. Jesus’ reply was that they had to go into the world to do his work, not stay in the meantime. They needed to move toward the future. No matter how much we want to stay in the meantime, it will pass and we will be catapulted

into the future. No matter how fast we wish the meantime would go, it seems to drag on forever. Somehow we have been put into God’s time. God’s time is different than ours. We are people of the clock and we move forward second by second, day by day. But God’s time is more fluid. Scripture says that for God, a thousand days are like a second passed, and a second is like a thousand years. God knows all time, so it must seem to loop back over itself, spiraling, repeating, until all time is one. When time loses its meaning and its draw, I think we are experiencing God’s time where the promise is already realized even when the meantime is interminably long or unbearably short. Past is always here in the present, and so is the future. It is all one. That is God’s time. So when will it end? When we realize that we are into something different – when we realize the change. Until then, we are living in our own expectations of the slowness or the fleetingness of time. Life is always changing – even when we are no longer living the changes continue; of decomposi-

tion of the body, of a new eternal life, of judgment, of other’s memories. The snow falls and we shovel – but it is a different quality of snow than the last time. The hospital stay and the flare ups are guaranteed to end, one way or the other. The fight for life or the willingness to move forward into death will end when death comes. The sunset moves into sunrise and the day moves back to sunset. But every day is different and every day is a new adventure and gift. Even Lent will end for this year, with the beauty of an Easter sunrise – life goes on! Treasure the moments, but know that they are only temporary. Rev. Victoria Wood Parrish is the pastor of the First United Methodist Church in Gilford, NH, located on Route 11-A. It is a congregation of open hearts, open minds, and open doors. Worship is at 10:30 am on Sundays. Children’s activities and nursery are available during the 10:30 morning worship.

Probably, Putin’s soul! ****************** Adolph Hitler German Nazi Dictator May 1 1927: “We are Socialists, we are enemies of the capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with it’s unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.� ****************** U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte Friday at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester: “I voted against the debt limit bill which created the sequester and we wouldn’t be in

this situation if Congress did its job and passed a fiscally responsible budget on time. I offered an alternative savings package, which was denied a vote this week, and I will continue to work with my colleagues to replace the arbitrary sequester cuts with smarter alternative savings.� Does she blame Congress? Does she mean Obama’s budget? I am counting on Congress to do what the Senate cannot do; slow the road to ruin. Barack: “I am not a dictator. I’m the president.� In the spirit of compromise, a Community Organizer, who became president, and plans to be a dictator. ****************** Thank the Lord I have never been in a position where choosing between Charlie Bass and a Democrat in District 2 was the only option.

A majority of Americans live in a fantasy world where ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is more vital to them than who governs them. The majority have become nice and compliant. Good little sheep in word and deed. “In America, it’s now all about celebrity and the show. Critical thought is frowned upon. We are in the bread and circus stage of decay.

Hi, I’m Halo!

I love to roughhouse and play long games of fetch with the people who love me the most. I have a strong and bold personality; ready to take on the world with my human by my side. I also have great motivation and focus when being worked with. I get along with people who share a similar personality. I would rather not live with any other dogs, cats, or kids- I need to learn my manners and work on how to stay calm. I need an active adult home who will embrace my goofy side and give me all the attention I need and deserve!

Registry from 12

line ordering system will make it easy for you and your guests. • Take inventory: Assess what you already have, what you don’t have and what needs replacing. A walk through your home using a registry checklist can help you build a list. Talk to your fiancée and work together. Also, think about what you need now and in the future – you might be dining for two, but soon you could be hosting a dinner party for 12 and will want dinnerware worthy of the occasion. • Ask for help: Don’t be shy about seeking advice. Visit a store and talk with an expert consultant who can help with gift selections and offer tips on what you’ll need to enjoy

Spring’s Right Around The Corner by Peter Grasso Contributing Writer

Valentine’s Day is now behind us, the sun is higher, days longer and the snow is melting. That means that spring is not too far away and thoughts are turning toward the ice going out. I think that, for sure, we will not have as early an ice-out as we did last year. My records indicate that I had the boat in the water on March 25th, but that’s NOT going to happen this year. I think we will be into a more traditional ice out around April 14th – 20th. We’ll see. A couple of weeks ago I mailed out my spring fliers and charters are already starting to book up for spring salmon fishing. I looked up last year’s records and noted that we got off to a pretty good start when the season began on April 1st. There were some nice hefty fish around AND they were hungry. However, records also indicate that by the time that the 20th of the month rolled around the fishing was “HOT” and pretty much stayed that way right up to the Winni Derby. For the most part, the salmon were hanging in the top 15’ of water and we had some GREAT days using the “Jig Boxes”, leadcore line and streamer flies. Top water fishing was just “OK”- nothing spectacular. Being of a curious nature, often times salmon will come right up into the wake of the motor to check out

what the disturbance is and we have taken some real nice fish about 20’ back from the boat, right in this wake. It certainly does not hurt to put a line in this water, especially if you are having a slow day. This can be the deal maker. We had one morning, the last week of April 2012, when fishing was a bit slow. Not only on my boat, but a couple of others fishing the same area were having similar luck. I noted a number of fish rising and it appeared they were feeding just below the surface. I pulled the lines on the jig boxes up to only ½ color out and WOW, did things change real fast. I think we boated ½ dozen fish in about 15 minutes. The most fun was the line in the motor wake. You could actually see the salmon “Finning” across the water and hitting the fly! Talk about excitement! We passed this information on and what looked like a “Skunk” morning for some, turned into a spectacular trip. As I have mentioned, numerous times, 90% of my fishing is done with #4 streamer flies (barbless) and patterns that you cannot buy off the shelf. We have developed and tested these patterns over the years and have kept them pretty close to the belt. If you hear us chattering on the radio, you hear “FireFly”, “Super Fly”, “07”, “Sunset”, “Sunrise”, “Secret Agent” and “Plum”. We also use a number of the “Store bought” patterns such as the Pumpkin Head, Streaker, Meredith Special and Canopache. We have also found that taking this latter group and making small changes to

the pattern, such as head color and adding “Eyes” often enhances their success. It’s still pretty much a standard to use a bright fly on a bright day and a dark fly on a dark day. However, don’t be afraid to reverse this standard if the situation calls for it. Just a reminder that you should be using a rubber net to avoid injuring the fish, especially if it your intent to release your catch. I keep two nets on board. One rubber & one cloth. If the fish is of good size and we are keeping it, we use the cloth net & the rubber for smaller fish that are being released. I’m not sure what F&G reports on “Hook injured” fish numbers at the fall netting, but I hope they are down. I do have one rule on my boat and that is that ANY legal size fish that is hook injured, is kept and part of your limit for the day. Using the barbless hooks, this is usually NOT a problem as 99% of the fish are lip hooked and easily released with virtually no damage at all. Most will actually fall right off in the net. Well, again, I remind you that early spring fishing means COLD water and staying IN the boat is a priority. Be sure to check all of your life vests at the beginning of the season and replace ANY and all that look questionable. Yeah, I know they are expensive, but they’re cheaper than a funeral. Have fun, catch a lot of fish and BE CAREFUL. Later……Capt. Pete

Ideal conditions for good sap runs occur on sunny days with little wind and temperatures in the 40s after a night of temperatures in the 20s. It takes approximately 40 gallons of sap from a sugar maple to make one gallon of maple syrup. It is estimated that there are over 300 maple operations in the state that produce for the commercial market. Add to this the number of backyard producers and the total is somewhere in the 1000 range. Commercial operations range from as few as 50 to as many as 30,000 taps. Though maple syrup has become today a lucrative business, it also has become a great learning tool for children and adults alike as sugar houses open their doors to show how it all gets done, to educational programs of interest to children and adults alike in not only how maple syrup is made, but the history of this unique product. The latter is presented

like Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center on White Oaks Road in Laconia. For over twelve years, the 160-acre Prescott Farm has been offering Maple Sugar Madness programs to school groups and the public as well during the month of March. From tapping trees to getting to taste the delicious end product, these programs offer hands-on participation in every step of the syrup making process. On Saturdays in March, the public is invited to take part in these hour and a half programs that are offered three times during the day at 10-11:30am, Noon1:30pm and 2-3:30pm. Guided by two Environmental Educators, Camille Burns and Sarah Dunham, participants will learn to build tree ID skills and learn the parts of a tree and their functions. They will use measuring tools to find an appropriate tree to tap, use historical and modern tree mapping tools,discover the math and chemical/physical science in the boiling process and learn about Native American legend, like the

Monabozo story, in how the production of maple syrup came to be. The program also involves a 20-minute walk to a sugar house to give a real feel of old maple sugaring days. If the snow is deep, snowshoes will be available. These programs have proven to be very popular and reservations well in advance are required in order to ensure you a spot for Maple Sugar Madness. The cost is $8 for adults and $7 for children ages 4-12. Ages 3 and under are free and members of Prescott Farm receive significant discounts, To reserve a spot call 603-366-5695 or visit their website at www.prescottfarm.org. Another popular Maple Syrup program is when the New Hampshire Maple Producers get together and open their sugar houses to the public during “Maple Weekend.” This year it takes place on the weekend of March 23rd-24th when over 100 sugar houses are open to the public. A complete list of sugar houses that are open to the public that weekend is available, along with a map of locations at www.nhmapleproducers.com.

Congressional and Obama administration proponents apparently want us to ignore that the new law adds $650 million in spending to the already bloated federal budget. Nor has anyone noted an obvious inconsistency: While we’re passing new laws to protect women, we’re putting them into U.S. military ground combat units. Perhaps fear of prosecution will prevent enemy combatants from raping our female soldiers and Marines on the battlefield. And finally, in the midst of “austerity,” we have our new secretary of state, John Kerry, on his allexpenses-paid grand tour of European capitals. This week, he announced a $60 million grant in “nonlethal aid” to the Syrian opposition. Where is this money coming from? Kerry also is showing his independence from the White House. When Nobel

laureate Barack Obama travels overseas, he prefers to bow to foreign potentates and apologize for America. Instead of apologizing in foreign capitals, Kerry prefers to insult us. In Berlin, he told a young audience that in the 1950s, at the age of 12, he took a secret bicycle ride in the Soviet-controlled sector of the divided city. Apparently hoping the German kids don’t know about his claimed exploits in Cambodia in 1968, he added, “I never made another trip like that.” The German kids also laughed and applauded Kerry for saying, “In America, you have a right to be stupid.” He should know.

of Western democracies to respond to Hitler’s massive military buildup with offsetting military defense buildups to deter Hitler or to defend themselves if deterrence failed. “Disarmament� was the mantra of the day among the intelligentsia, often garnished with the suggestion that the Western democracies should “set an example� for other nations -- as if Nazi Germany or imperial Japan was likely to follow their example. Too many among today’s intellectual elite see themselves as our shepherds and us as their sheep. Tragically, too many of us are apparently willing to be sheep, in exchange for being taken care of, being relieved of the burdens of adult responsibility and being supplied with “free� stuff paid for by others.

of any public employee in New Hampshire. In addition he walked away with a career end payout of over $300,000. Scott Myers and Dean Trefethan were on the city council at the time this extravagant contract was awarded to Mr. Fenniman. This scandal, which they tried to cover up, provoked a citizen reaction which resulted in the Dover spending cap. I was one of the founding members of this group. We worked hard to gather 1,500 signatures to put the spending cap on the ballot. Dover residents passed the spending cap, in spite of strong opposition of former Mayor Scott Myers and current Mayor Dean Trefethan. Now we are seeing an organized attempt to overturn our spending cap initiated by the school superintendent Briggs Badger and several members of the school board including, Rocky Andrea, Amanda Russell, and Betsy Andrews-Parker. During the school budget discussions in the spring and summer of 2012 a $700,000 school department surplus was not dis-

closed to the City Council or to Dover citizens. This large surplus, which was known by a few insiders in April, was not made public until September. I am convinced this was done to incite parents, hoping they would persuade the city council to overturn the spending cap. Unfortunately this tactic worked. For two nights parents and teachers were played for fools. City hall was clogged with both parents and teachers who were falsely led to believe our schools were underfunded. They were led to believe the problem was the spending cap - rather it was a cynical maneuver by a handful of people who want to eliminate the Dover spending cap. There will be a municipal election in November and voters should know which of our appointed and elected officials are careful with taxpayer’s money and those who are not, along with those who manipulated and deliberately withhold financial data for their own political agenda.

In another emetic performance, Obama parachuted into a Virginia naval shipyard this week to decry Pentagon cuts that would gut our military. But I repeat: The re-
