“Niobe” Sits Again Atop The Great Wall of Sandwich

This past Saturday, May 12th, the Sandwich Historical Society unveiled the “Niobe” statue back on its original perch upon the Great Wall of Sandwich. It had been sitting in broken pieces since 1941 until last year when its restoration began. The sculpture, believed to have been cast by Prussian Master Sculptor Moritz Geiss

around 1860, was purchased at the London Industrial Exposition of 1862, presumably by Sandwich resident Issac Adams. When he was nineteen, Adams decided to leave Sandwich and resettle in Boston, where there were greater economic opportunities. Adams asked his neighbors to lend him the coach fare,

The information on the history of Issac Adams, Niobe and the restoration project, was provided by Sandwich Historical Society trustee, Boone Porter, who also hosted the unveiling.

“Live Free or Die” Now And Always

The restored statue of Niobe, first put upon the Great Wall of Sandwich in 1875 by Sandwich, NH, millionaire Issac Adams. It toppled during a storm in 1941 and, miraculously, all two hundred or so odd pieces were found. It was restored by Adam Nudd Homeyer in 2011 and placed back atop the wall on Little Pond Road last weekend. brendan smith Photo

In 1969, serving as a New Hampshire state legislator, it was my honor to introduce the bill that led to our proud state by Bob Lawton motto “Live Weirs Times Free or Die” Founder & Publisher replacing the uninspired “Scenic” on our license plates. The motto, “Live Free or Die,” embodies all that our state, and our country, is molded on.

In 1777, in the Battle of Bennington, New Hampshire General John Stark led a rebel force of 2,000 men in stopping the British from capturing Albany, gaining control of the Hudson River Valley and splitting the American colonies in half. It was a pivotal battle of the Revolutionary War and made Stark New Hampshire’s greatest hero. In 1809, on the 32nd anniversary of The Battle, Stark, who couldn’t attend the reunion due to ill health wrote in a letter: “Live Free or Die, Death Is Not The

Music Fun Fest To Benefit Greater Meredith Career Partnership Program The First Annual Music Fun Fest To Benefit the Career Partnership Program will be held at Mame’s Restaurant in Meredith, Thursday, May 28th, from 6-10pm. Held in the upstairs lounge and function room, it will be a great night of music and fun and half the proceeds from meals sold that evening will go to benefit this important program. The Career Partnership Program is a public/private partnership between the Greater Meredith Program and The Interlakes School District. “The Partnership Program really started as just an idea about six years ago,” said Chris Kelly who sits on the board of the Greater Meredith Program. “We wanted to find a way to make a connection between businesses and students at Interlakes.” The idea has developed into a very successful program which provides internships, job shadows, volunteer opportunities and job fairs for summer employment. To date, it is estimated that it has affected five hundred or more students. “One of our goals is to inspire students to go out into the world, get educated and come back to serve the community,” said the Programs Director, Rhonda Hanaway. “Besides the job and intern opportunities, we’ve also had guest speakers, people who left to learn and become successful in careers and then came back to the area.” “The program was initially helped off the ground by the Greater Meredith Program,” said Kelly. “Today it is flourishing on its own with the support of businesses, the town and fundraising.” “We have received great state accolades,” said Hanaway. “The idea has grown to the point where other schools are turning to us

for ideas in helping them start a program of their own like this.” Events like the Music Fun Fest are also important in keeping it economically viable. The idea for the Music Fun Fest first came from musicians who perform at Mame’s. “We wanted to have an event where we could all perform on the same night so we could showcase our music and also bring people into Mame’s,” said Julia Velie who is a singer, songwriter and guitarist. “We thought that it would

make for a good fundraising event.” “They kind of came up with the idea on their own,” said John Cook, owner of Mame’s. “I’m also on the board of the Greater Meredith Program and I thought it would be perfect to have it benefit the Partnership Program and also help bring more awareness to it.” Cook is going to donate half of dinner sales for all who attend the Fun Fest to the Partnership Program.

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902.

Comic Book Day Success To The Editor: For those who passed through downtown Rochester last Saturday, you may have noticed many costumed individuals with bright blue bags roaming throughout the downtown area. Last Saturday was National Free Comic Book Day and Rochester’s celebration was sponsored by Jetpack Comics and the Rochester Main Street Program. Participants were able to visit 20 local businesses on a passport to comic book day to receive a complimentary comic, and visit with creative artists and authors. With over 5,000 people attending, the Rochester Celebration is one of the largest in the northeast. On behalf of Jetpack Comics

and the Board of Directors of Rochester Main Street, we would like to thank our sponsoring partners: Norm Vetter Foundations (who sponsored the Rochester Public Library), Holiday Inn Express, and Simply Green Bio-Fuels, along with the corps of volunteers who passed out the passport maps, staffed the exhibition hall at the Knights of Columbus, assisted the participating businesses, ran the Majix Gaming Tournament and staffed the concession stands. Brian Sylvester, Librarian at the Rochester Public Library reported that it was a stupendous day for them as the door count was 2,640 people (six people per minute that they were open on Saturday). Last, it wouldn’t have been possible without all

One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and vicinity.

Wisconsin Votes To The Editor: Voter turnout in Wisconsin’s primary on May 8th is an indication of how a majority of the public there view “right to work” legislation, freedom of choice and the need to keep a lid on the high wages and benefits of those working in the public sector. The people of Wisconsin recognized and supported Republican Governor Walker by giving him more votes than his top two Democrat opponents combined. Most notable was the difference in totals votes given to the union favorite, Democrat Kathleen Falk who garnered fewer than 230,000 votes versus Governor Walker’s 625,000 plus votes. The Wisconsin voter turnout in support of worker freedom indicates that the public rejects union vandalism and supports the freedom to choose to join

or not to join a union. Governor Walker along with several other governors has taken the position that belonging to a union should not be a condition of employment. David Scott Dover, NH.

Voter Fraud To The Editor: As someone who was a VICTIM of voter fraud of the kind that was exposed last March by James O’Keefe in NH, I am outraged at the audacity of Governor Lynch who attempted to subpoena the young investigative reporter when it was thought he would be in NH this week. After years of having Kelly Ayotte, and the current AG refusing to prosecute MOST voter fraud that happens in NH, the Governor and the State of NH now have the nerve to try to arrest a young filmmaker who merely showed how easily fraud can be perpetrated at the polls. Governor Lynch has absolutely NO grounds to arrest this man. No illegal votes were made or intended to be made. I actually believe that Governor Lynch himself is quite possibly breaking the law by doing this. This must stop now. The citizens of NH have had enough of his buffoonery on this matter. Attempting to arrest someone for showing us the faults in our voting system is sheer corruption on the Governor’s part. Perhaps the Governor himself should be the one to be arrested. He is the one who has been allowing fraud. Jane Aitken Bedford NH.

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Not everything that can change our lives as we know it, makes it onto the evening news. The Americans With Disabilities Act, which was originally formed to help people with actual disabilities get a fair deal in the real world, has been the brunt of a lot of criticism over the years as a whole slew of minor and temporary ailments have made it onto its list. This week, a new one is under consideration. Shy Bladder Syndrome. This is the dreaded disease where a person can’t pee when there is another person in the bathroom. Otherwise known as “Timid Tinklers” people with Shy Bladder Syndrome may soon be able to require their employer to provide, if one doesn’t already exist, a private bathroom for them to do their business. It would be an enormous cost, once again, to businesses. Seriously. I’m sure you will be hearing more about this story in the future as those with this life-altering syndrome will soon be coming forward now that they know they are not alone. Perhaps, as the merits of this actually being allowed to be considered a real disability are being argued, thousands of Shy Bladder sufferers will take to the streets in protest. These folks will gather, along with the security of thousands of Porta Potties, in cities across the nation and will make their voices heard. I can see the news feed on MSNBC now, no wait, make that ABC, no one actually watches MSNBC. “We are here with John Doe, who has silently suf-

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Not Shy About Writing This fered with SBS for years. He has stood quietly in his work restroom, surrounded by others who urinated freely, while he struggled, waiting for others to leave so he could just have a normal life. Did he complain? No. Did he demand a better life? No. He merely carried on, in agony, day after day unable to perform this simple process that so many of us take for granted. Now, he only wants what is due to him. His own bathroom. Yet, the heads of businesses and corporations, the millionaires and billionaires who buy their yachts and mansions based on the hard work of John, are fighting against having to spend mere millions to build new bathrooms to accommodate the poor working man; Just another example of the wide chasm of class in our so-

ciety.” Eventually, the issue will make its way into the Executive Branch of our government. President Obama, who will embrace it as yet another great diversion to keep people’s minds off his otherwise lousy job, will have us on pins and needles as he contemplates, like Socrates, whether or not to support those suffering with SBS. “After much consideration, and looking at the list of those who might possibly vote for me in November, many of them being sufferers of SBS, I have decided, that is an awful disease.” Then the camera will, on cue, close-up on the Prez. “We were having a family dinner last night, when I suddenly got the urge to urinate. As I stood up, my

daughter said, ‘Daddy, just think how awful it must be for people who can’t just go, people who have to wait until the coast is clear.’ I sat back down, gathered my family around me and we all hugged. I made my decision right then and there.” Now, that SBS is out of the water closet, I’m sure that it will get the attention it’s due. Maybe George Clooney can hold a telethon. I’m sure there will be fundraising “Walk For A Cure” on nice weekends. I wonder what color their ribbon will be, yellow just seems too obvious.

I suppose I’m fortunate to not have SBS, but I do suffer from Tall Guy Syndrome, This is where I go into a public restroom and the urinal is so close to the floor that it comes up to maybe my ankles. This is never pleasant and can be embarrassing. I know that there are others like me who are afraid to raise their voices, maybe the SBS thing can be our springboard to fairer facilities. One can only hope. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com.

EDITORIAL

“Live Free or Die” continued from page one

Worst of Evils” to his surviving troops. What they had fought for, so many years ago, was still so important; and still is. Simply put, it means that nothing is more important than freedom, not even our lives. For what is a life if it is to be controlled by others? “Live Free or Die” became our state motto in 1945 and has been on our license plates since 1971. It is known throughout the country and the world. There have been some, over the years, who have seen our state motto as a negative. In this age of political correctness, that comes as no surprise. Some have even suggested it incites a violent attitude. Seeing that New Hampshire has a very low crime rate - much lower than even “The Sunshine State” - that argument doesn’t hold much water. Still, some would like to see it go away. That is a true shame. Recently, the New Hampshire Department of Travel and Tourism has unleashed their new marketing campaign. It is a noble effort in terms of time and money spent, but I feel its final form may lead to a more direct attempt at finally, over time, seeing “Live Free or Die” thrown on the growing scrap heap of things that define the origins of our state and this country that are now being forgotten. The basis of the marketing campaign is to emphasis the beauty and attractiveness of New Hampshire; a good thing and certainly not a new idea. It’s always important to keep marketing New Hampshire and bringing in revenues from visitors. But is this the only way to do that? The new “Live Free And…..” campaign fills in the blank with a pre-determined list of words which emphasis hiking, fishing, climbing, etc. Posters, TV commercials, subway ads in cities and the Internet will soon , if not now, be proclaiming “Live Free and Giggle” (one of the approved words) and other variations and will soon be more prominent across the country than “Live Free Or Die.” I’m afraid that this campaign will eventually dilute the true meaning of General John Stark’s words and the meaning of how truly important our freedom is, and how much it meant to those who fought for it, even years after it was won. We are the only state that has been bold enough to prominently display such a powerful and meaningful motto and keep this message alive. Now that this marketing campaign is in effect, it won’t be going away anytime soon. Still I,for one, and I hope others, will closely follow its path. Will some salivating souls use it as an excuse to change our Welcome to New Hampshire highway signs and our license plates and more? They may just try. But, like those brave men who fought under the banner of “Live Free or Die” you can be sure it won’t be without a fight.

Scytl: Voter Fraud Facts and Fiction

With six months until Election Day, conspiracy theories are percolating on the Internet by Michelle Malkin like bubbling mud pots Syndicated Columnist at Yellowstone: Leftwing billionaire George Soros is going to rig the election for Barack Obama. Foreigners will oversee the nation’s entire vote-counting system. The fix is in, and all is lost. Before conservatives go all Michael Moore-moonbatty, let’s calm down and separate voter fraud facts from fiction. There’s no time to waste worrying about manufactured scares. And there are plenty of legitimate threats to electoral integrity without having to inflate or concoct them. FACT: Scytl is a Spain-based business that specializes in “electoral security technology” and electronic voting applications. Its cryptographic research initially was funded by the Spanish government’s Ministry of Science and Technology and later was spun off as a private-sector evoting venture. FACT: In January 2012, Scytl acquired U.S.-based SOE Software. SOE writes “election management” programs that assist officials with everything from “Internet voting to election night reporting and online poll worker training.” FICTION: According to alarmists, Scytl’s acquisition of SOE amounts to a complete takeover of America’s election system. No, not really. While SOE boasts of a presence “with 900 jurisdictions as customers in 26 states,” there is no single contract that the federal government has entered into, or could, with Scytl to count the 2012 presidential election votes. Much of the work Scytl/SOE analysts do is numbercrunching and graphics software work after local and state officials have done the vote-counting. Scytl does have a contract with the feds to use its technology to help overseas and military voters participate in elections. In 2009, the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act mandated that U.S. jurisdictions allow uniformed and overseas citizens to receive and track their ballots electronically. Scytl’s online ballot program was used in 14 states during the

2010 midterms. FACT: The security risks of e-voting are still a legitimate concern. University of California at Berkeley computer science professor David Wagner wrote a critical report for the Pentagon about the privacy and accuracy shortcomings of Scytl’s military voting program in 2004 -- which prompted the feds to cancel the initial program, according to PBS. In October 2010, the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics encouraged outside parties to try to find security holes in their online balloting infrastructure operated by Scytl. A group of University of Michigan students successfully hacked into the system, commandeered passwords, doctored ballots and programmed audio of the school’s fight song to play whenever an e-ballot was submitted. Hackers from Iran and China also came close to breaking in. “After the hack,” according to AOLNews.com, “(D.C.) administrators decided to relaunch under a download-only format, allowing users to access ballots but forcing them to fax or mail them rather than cast a vote online.” The D.C. official who oversaw the system, Paul Stenbjorn, now works for Scytl. FICTION: Chain e-mails about Scytl claim that George Soros owns, operates or controls Scytl. In reality, the company’s investors are Nauta Capital, Balderton Capital and Spinnaker SCR. Soros doesn’t “own” any of these international venture capital firms -- and as far as my research shows, he has no involvement whatsoever with any of them. Moreover, Scytl’s board of directors doesn’t include anyone with Soros financial or management ties. Pressed for evidence, one Internet conspiracy nut cited an “invitation only event” in Moldova that listed both the “Soros Foundation Moldova” and Scytl as attendees. Soros has enough explicit ties to President Obama’s administration and campaign without having to embellish them. Just this week, The New York Times reported that he will donate $1 million each to a Democratic super-PAC and a leading progressive get-out-the-vote (GOTV) operation. Soros previously funded Project Vote, the notorious voter-mobilization See malkin on 23 arm of fraud-

French Elections—Socialist Jolt Rattles Europe UNITED NATIONS—Tone, tenor, and style separate Nicolas Sarkozy from Francois Hollande as much as clear political ideolby John J. Metzler ogy divided the Syndicated Columnist two contenders for the French presidency. But sentiments like voter discontent, backlash and anti-austerity describe the mood French voters were in when they elected the Socialist candidate. Francois Hollande’s victory with 52% of the vote compared to 48% for the incumbent, returns the Socialists to the Elysee Palace (White House) for the first time in seventeen years. Sarkozy becomes the latest leader voted out of office resulting from collateral damage from the economic recession. But the euphoria of Hollande’s victory may soon fade as reality intervenes; first from the yet undecided results of the National Assembly elections in June, and equally from the undertow of recession. Sarkozy was the energizer bunny of French politics, a peripatetic and dynamic leader who was blindsided by the global economic recession and confronted by the rumbling crisis for the Euro currency. Despite these constraints, Sarkozy enacted some positive economic reforms as well as reorientation of foreign policy. The president elect, Hollande known as Mr., Normal is a clam, cautious, and near-passionless, speaker who won in the second round of the elections by cobbling together a coalition of his Socialists, and the hard left including the communists. Hollande emerged from elitist schools and shall strive to be a tireless technocrat. His victory was based less on reciting the socialist dogma than being of the anti-Sarko candidate, the anti-bling-bling, antiausterity man. Though moderate and less polarizing by standards of the Socialist party, Hollande nonetheless remains in debt to the hard left which got him elected. Hollande’s victory represents less of a lurch to the left as much as the pendulum swing of politics where the Socialists have not held the presidency since 1995.

Markets rumbled, but the danger comes not from fear of nationalizations but of mismanaging and misjudging a deep seated European economic malaise and making it worse through the tempting elixir of massive government spending. “Francois Hollande to be tested by Power,” argues the headline of the business daily Les Echos. The journal adds that the new president faces major economic challenges including growth, competitiveness, debt unemployment and a new European growth pact. So what kind of substantial Foreign Policy changes can we expect from Monsieur Hollande? Nicolas Sarkozy’s instinctive proAmericanism will be replaced with the more traditional French skepticism. Sarkozy’s public political passion for the USA has stood out as atypical for either the conservative Gaullists or the Left. It has engendered resentment among much of the Left and never sat too well with sectors on the right. . On Israel, Sarkozy oversaw a profound shift in French policy towards a more balanced and accommodating view of Israel, a major shift from traditional policy. Don’t expect the Hollande government to be as fair and balanced in its relations with Jerusalem. In Afghanistan, Sarkozy sent a sizable French military contingent to help with NATO mission. Francois Hollande has stated he will press for an early pullout from Afghanistan. Equally Sarkozy fully reintegrated the French military back into the Atlantic Alliance. More importantly, France may go mushy on the issue of Islamic Iran’s nuclear proliferation. Sarkozy’s France, along with Britain and Germany have taken a very tough tact towards Tehran. Will Hollande’s government stay on the same diplomatic page, or offer more creative “third ways” to deal with the aspiring Atomic Ayatollahs in Islamic Iran? Moreover, shall France’s close cooperation with the USA and Britain in the UN Security Council, now become more equivocal? Economically the new government in Paris will strive for continued close ties with Berlin. Yet close Franco/German ties between politically like-minded leaders Sarkozy and Merkel could now be strained. Hollande has pledged to renegoti-

ate the Europe’s “fiscal compact” painstakingly worked out between Sarkozy and Merkel to control deficits, debt, and spending. Additionally to the backdrop of the continuing political chaos in Greece, the unexpected collapse

of a conservative and fiscally responsible government in the Netherlands, there are few countries except for Austria and Finland who adhere to Germany’s austerity budget guidelines. France under

The Moral Infrastructure The “Occupy” movement, which the Obama administration and much of the media have embraced, has implications that reach far by Thomas Sowell b e y o n d t h e Syndicated Columnist passing sensation it has created. The unwillingness of authorities to put a stop to their organized disruptions of other people’s lives, their trespassing, vandalism and violence is a de facto suspension, if not repeal, of the 14th Amendment’s requirement that the government provide “equal protection of the laws” to all its citizens. How did the “Occupy” movement acquire such immunity from the laws that the rest of us are expected to obey? Simply by shouting politically correct slogans and calling themselves representatives of the 99 percent

against the 1 percent. But just when did the 99 percent elect them as their representatives? If in fact 99 percent of the people in the country were like these “Occupy” mobs, we would not have a country. We would have anarchy. Democracy does not mean mob rule. It means majority rule. If the “Occupy” movement, or any other mob, actually represents a majority, then they already have the votes to accomplish legally whatever they are trying to accomplish by illegal means. Mob rule means imposing what the mob wants, regardless of what the majority of voters want. It is the antithesis of democracy. In San Francisco, when the mob smashed the plate-glass window of a small business shop, the owner put up some plywood to replace the glass, and the mob wrote graffiti on his plywood. The consequences? None for the mob, but a citation for the shop owner for not removing See Sowell on 18

Meet The PET OF THE WEEK Say Hello to McGruff

Existing outside tethered to a chain, was McGruff’s lot in life until he escaped his mortal bounds and ran for cover into the woods. Being a Redbone Hound, he was pretty comfortable amongst the trees. He was found in Meredith, technically, but may have wandered from Sanbornton or even further afield. Currently calling New Hampshire Humane Society home, McGruff has blossomed under the constant care and attention of staff and volunteers beginning with a massive ‘operation tick removal’ session. That gentle face, big mushy body, long flapping ears and baritone voice letting you know he is ready to be your constant companion, should appeal to anyone who likes large dogs. McGruff is the poster-canine to illustrate the expression that ‘trucks were invented for dogs to hang their heads out the window from”. Picture him travelling with his regal head sniffing the wind and soft ears flapping just enjoying life from the passenger seat. Please consider McGruff, he truly is man’s best friend!

I pretty much love every aspect of writing this column for the Weirs Times newspapers. There are great people on the staff of these papers and a widespread and at by Mal Fuller Contributing Writer t i m e s eclectic readership. In over a decade of writing, I’ve only had one reader who sent me an unpleasant email, an event, which was reviewed at the time it was sent to me. Regular readers know that I rarely endorse trades people in this column; in fact I only remember three occasions when I made such an endorsement. After all, endorsements are not what my column is about. I twice put a plug in for expert painter and decorator, my friend Scott Hickey. I also reported favorably on the Suncook Valley Appliance Service when they competently handled a recall on my Maytag dishwasher. And I gave a glowing endorsement to Terry’s Independent Heating for his professionalism in installing and later servicing our efficient Buderus boiler. A few days ago, on the morning of May 4 th , I opened my email files to see what new emails I had received. I had three fresh emails with Terry Biehl in the subject line. Another eye catcher was the fact that they’d been sent to me in the middle of the night; at 2:11 AM, 2:13 AM and 2:15 AM! (Please see the accompanying screenshot.) It turned out that all three emails had the identical same contents, as follows: “Hi Mal, Recently I asked you how I could contact Terry Biehl. In your Weir Times

Well I would like to tell you how totally frustrated I am with Terry and I haven’t even met him in person. I called Terry to set-up an appointment. He called me back and he suggested he call the beginning of the following week to schedule an appointment. He never called me the following week. I waited 5 days and then I called him again. We set a home appointment for the following Tuesday between 7:30-8:00AM. I emailed him detailed directions to my home and reconfirmed the appointment once again. The following Tuesday morning arrived and Terry never showed-up. I waited until 9:30AM and then I called him. He said that he had to go to two emergency heating appointments ( in April????- heating emergencies- I doubt it). I asked why he didn’t call me. No response. He suggested coming another

day. Since I has taken the morning off from work I said that probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Terry said “No Problem.” He then hung-up on me. Brendan Smith had just had a column in the Weirs Times discussing the poor use of the words “No Problem.” I would suggest that you do not praise Terry and recommend him again. I am going to discuss this on the Winnipesaukee Forum so another person in the Wolfeboro area does not have to be disappointed by waiting for him to show-up. I am also contacting Angie’s list. What a lousy way to run a business. Best Regards, (Name Withheld By Me) My reply, which I also blind copied to Terry Beihl: “Hello (Name Withheld By Me), I am so sorry to hear that you’ve had a succession of bad experiences with Terry Biehl.

Loudon Co. Brings Local Manufacturing AffirmWater, LLC local stainless steel water bottle company est. 2007 has moved the manufacturing of their Eco-ToteŠ to Boscawen. The company previously used a facility in the mid west to make their ‘green’ insulated bottle carrier but has decided they want to keep a closer eye on the manufacturing process and create more jobs in New Hampshire. Production began in the start of the new year at Page Belting. The AffirmWater Eco-ToteŠ is an insulated, waterproof, bottle carrier made from 100% recycled plastic (PET) fabric. In addition to its sturdy construction, this tote also offers an adjustable shoulder strap, and exterior pocket, which is perfect for your keys, cell phone and cash. The AffirmWater Eco-toteŠ fits most standard size water bottles. According to the owners Alicia Grimaldi and Tina White, there are no other water bottle carriers quite like the Eco-Tote on the market. Currently, AffirmWater’s Eco-ToteŠ can be purchased on Amazon.com and a few local and on-line retailers. The company’s goal is to be able to reach a broader customer base by supplying the tote to some larger brick and mortar sporting goods stores.

Hollande may not be one of them. Financial tremors will likely again rock the Euro currency later this year. And indeed Left-wing electoral rumblings in Germany itself illustrate deep political and financial fault lines even in Europe’s strongest economy.

LOCAL EXPERIENCED BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY

“First Amendment Is Most Specifically Intended To Protect ‘Offensive Speech’� Every so often, and I do like to read quotes, one that should have been said by me first truly inspires me. This is by Niel Young Advocates Columnist from Dave Kekich found at www.insearchofheroes. com/internet-heroes/ pages/dave-kekich-hero. htm “Dave Kekich, the Creator Of The ‘Kekich Credo,’ Has Stunned Everyone By Achieving Amazing Levels of Success, After An Unfortunate Accident Paralyzed him From the Chest Down But Not From the Mind UP�. “Long term success is built on credibility and on establishing enduring loving relationships with quality people based on mutually earned trust. Cut all ties with dishonest, negative or lazy people, and associate with people who share your values. You become who you associate with.� Pretty much the way I approach life as columnist, talk radio host, and politics! ******** I have been critical of the Human Relations Committee in Laconia since their beginning in the ‘90’s. Here is the latest: “We call attention to the Community Aspirations contract presented below. It evolved out of concern for the rising intolerance and incivility of communication that marks our current national landscape. The goal is to foster ongoing equitable community-wide communication and dialogue in the

public arena. We would like to ensure that we, in the Lakes Region and New Hampshire, keep the ideals of democracy in our vision. “Since the Community Forum a group of concerned citizens continued meeting to carry out the goals of building and sustaining a tolerant, inclusive community in our on-going public discourse.� Couple of quick questions for the New Language Police in Laconia. Will letters to the editor be censored? Will the radio station that carries Rush Limbaugh be responsible for Rush’s observations that are not acceptable to the NLPL? When Looney Liberals attack a guest or callers or the host during my radio program, will they be incarcerated for using their First Amendment right? I will not sign any petition from anyone that threatens the First. Just another example of the “Wimp Nation� we have become. Control our thoughts, control our speech. ******** I emailed the information to my friend Mike in Virginia. Mike responds: “Here come the Nazi speech police! Use your radio program to shame anyone who signs this petition, and explain why. Who is going to decide what is “acceptable� speech? And what qualifies them? What respect do they publicly proclaim for the First Amendment while advocating this repression of speech? Make it perfectly clear and understood that this effort IS NOT INTENDED toward civility. It is in-

tended to set up a structure where someone can and does set “the rules of acceptable speech, and then pass judgment upon such.â€? This is totally unacceptable! The First Amendment is most specifically intended to protect “offensive speech.â€? You can say in a declaratory manner whatever you want as long as it’s “true.â€? Slander and defamation of character are not protected free speech, which must include false declaratory statements of an injurious nature. Statements expressed as “opinionsâ€? are not considered declaratory statements. You must stress that the correct goal to be sought here is not “civility,â€? but tolerance of opinions other than your own ‌ even offensive ones! That IS FREE SPEECH! ******** David Clay Large, the author of Munich 1972, teaches history at Montana State University. His previous books include Nazi Games: The Olympics of 1936. He was in Munich during the ‘72 Olympics and has run 36 marathons. The author is scheduled for this Saturday during The Advocates (AM1350 and wezs. com). “When Michael Phelps and the world’s other greatest athletes gather in London under the shadow of terrorism, the glory and the nightmare of the Munich games of 1972 will be on many minds.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, May 17, 2012

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

Avengers, All-Stars, and the Pro Bowl There is something compelling about gathering the best of the best – the elites – and letting them collectively work their magic. Consider the amazing box-office success of The Avengers, which set sales records earlier this month, as movie-goers flocked to see a Dream Team of Super Heroes in action. All-Stars, if you will. Americans love the notion of All-Stars. It all goes back to Major League Baseball’s first All-Star game in Chicago in 1933. The brainchild of Chicago Tribune Sports Editor Arch Ward, the contest saw the American Leaguers beat the Nationals 4-2, with 39-year-old Babe Ruth hitting the first-ever AllStar home run. The game was a big success and it became a fixture on America’s summer sports schedule. For a few years there were even TWO summer All-Star games. Fans loved how the best from each league came together to do baseball battle, and eventually the other major professional leagues developed their own versions of All-Star Games. The NHL held its firstever All-Star game in 1934 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The event raised money for Toronto Maple Leaf Ace Bailey, whose career was cut short by a vicious hit by Boston Bruin Eddie Shore several months earlier. Bailey’s life was almost cut short as well, as a priest administered last rites to the stricken Toronto forward. Happily, Bailey survived. As part of this inaugural All-Star hockey event, Bailey’s #6 uniform was retired by the Leafs, an NHL

first. The NHL All-Star format has evolved over the years, but the game remains a crowd-pleaser. The first NBA All-Star game was at the Boston Garden in 1951, and like the other big league versions, it was successful and started a tradition. Famously, the 1964 AllStar Game, also in Boston, almost didn’t happen. Boston player rep and All-Star Tom Heinsohn talked the other stars into threatening to boycott the game (the first-ever to be televised nationally) unless the owners recognized the Players Union. The owners caved in. As with baseball and ice hockey, the pro-basketball All-Star game became a fixture on the annual sports calendar, and as with baseball and hockey, legendary performances became part of basketball lore. The NBA now has an All-Star Weekend, replete with Slam Dunk Contests, Three-Point Competitions, Rookie All-Star contests, and Legends (Old-Timers) Games. Colleges and high schools have emulated the success of the Big League All-Star Games with their own versions. The NH/Vermont Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Football Game is but one of countless examples. So the All-Star concept is a “can’t- miss” idea, yes? No. The NFL Pro Bowl AllStar event is a disaster that just needs to go away. Reportedly, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is unhappy over the lack of commitment the players give to the event, which is held annually in Honolulu. The players don’t try that hard and are mostly concerned with avoiding injuries. If the players don’t care, why should the fans? The NFL moved the game to the weekend before the Super Bowl to try to capture some of that Super Energy, but it hasn’t worked.

An ESPN source reports that after the 2013 season the Pro Bowl is going to be “DOA (dead on arrival).” RIP. Dan Duval It’s always sad to hear of the passing of sports legends, but it’s especially hard to hear of the death of local legends when they pass on well before their times. Dan Duval is such a legend. A charter member of the Manchester Sports Hall of Fame, Duval was a three-sport star at Trinity High School, Class of 1976. A member of several Class L title teams, he earned a scholarship to McGill University in Montreal. Substance abuse helped cut his college career and he returned to Manchester. During the early 1980s I had the occasion to play basketball against him in several Manchester area men’s hoop leagues, and found that substance abuse never dampened his competitive fires. Decades later we’d laugh about how

seriously we all took those basketball battles. One of Danny’s teammates was the fiery Sean McDonnell, who would channel his competitive energy in coaching football, later becoming the head coach at UNH. Eventually Danny licked the substance abuse demons and became a motivational speaker, candidly acknowledging how substance abuse ruined his athletic career and almost ruined his life. By all accounts, Duval’s message had real impact on countless young listeners. And that will be Danny’s greatest legacy, even more than his records, championships, and numerous sports honors. RIP. Born Today ... That is to say, sports greats born on May 17 include San Antonio Spur Tony Parker (1982) and NFL quarterback Matt Ryan (1985).

cized for enforcing the law. Apparently pepper spray is unpleasant, and people who break the law are not supposed to have unpleasant things done to them. Which is to say, we need to take the “enforcement� out of “law enforcement.� Everybody is not given these exemptions from paying the consequences of their own illegal acts. Only people who are currently in vogue with the elites of the left -- in the media, in politics and in academia. The 14th Amendment? What is the Constitution or the laws when it comes to ideological soul mates, especially young soul mates who remind the aging 1960s radicals of their youth? Neither in this or any other issue can the Constitution protect us if we don’t protect the Constitution. When all is said and done, the Constitution is a document, a piece of paper. If we don’t vote out of office, or impeach, those who violate the Constitution, or who refuse to enforce the law, the steady erosion of Constitutional protections will ultimately render it meaningless. Everything will just become a question of whose ox is gored and what is the political expediency of the moment. There has been much concern, rightly expressed, about the rusting of bridges around the country, and the crumbling and corrosion of

other parts of the physical infrastructure. But the crumbling of the moral infrastructure is no less deadly. The police cannot maintain law and order, even if the political authorities do not tie their hands in advance or undermine them with second-guessing after the fact. The police are the last line of defense against barbarism, but they are equipped only to handle that minority who are not stopped by the first lines of defense, beginning with the moral principles taught at home and upheld by families, schools, and communities. But if everyone takes the path of least resistance -- if politicians pander to particular constituencies and judges give only wrist slaps to particular groups or mobs who are currently in vogue, and educators indoctrinate their students with “nonjudgmental� attitudes -- then the moral infrastructure corrodes and crumbles. The moral infrastructure is one of the intangibles, without which the tangibles don’t work. Like the physical infrastructure, its neglect in the short run invites disaster in the long run.

who was the chief, and Curt Prime of Moultonborough, his assistant. The Great Wall has several disconnected branches, and in the aggregate, extends over a mile. Its core structure is trapezoid shaped and encloses almost twenty acres. During the period of 2004 to 2009, dense vegetation was cleared away and the Great Wall was repaired. Visitors now can easily walk around the Great Wall at their leisure. The statue sat upon Great Wall, which Adams had constructed in 1875, where it stood until it fell and shattered during a 1941 storm. Moritz Geiss is believed to have cast the statue of the Greek mythological figure Niobe circa 1860. Geiss was an early innovator in developing zinc statuary, which he popularized during the second half of the 19th century. Zinc statues were painted white to create the illusion that they were made of marble. This technique unquestionably created a lustrous effect.

which he would repay once he got a job in Boston. His neighbors refused this request, telling him that he was of “no account” and they would never see him or their money again. Bristling at this rebuke, Adams swore that he would work his way to Boston, become successful, and return to Sandwich rich enough to buy any land he wanted. Adams kept his vow. After inventing the steam powered press that revolutionized printing, he returned to Sandwich a multimillionaire. He bought up many farms in the Sandwich Lower Corner neighborhood and proceeded to knock down all their buildings. Some of the feathered split granite that made up those buildings’ foundations found their way into the Great Wall Adams constructed in 1874-1875 by approximately eighty men working under the supervision of two master masons: Jacob Roberts of East Sandwich,

ue was taken from a statue of Niobe at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. The Uffizi’s statue is a Hellenist work discovered during the Renaissance, and is itself a copy of a much admired 5th century, B.C. original that was lost in antiquity. Geiss’ Niobe was advertised for sale at the London Industrial Exposition in 1862 (together with zinc statues of the twin Greek dieties, Diana and Apollo, who were protagonists in the Greek myth of Niobe). An anonymous purchaser, believed to be Isaac Adams, bought all three statues. Adams was known to be travelling in Europe at the time and was anecdotally reported to have bought his statuary there. In Greek legend, Niobe was the daughter of

Issac Adams wealthy King Tantalus. Niobe married Amphion, and they were the first king and queen of the city of Thebes in central Greece. Niobe had fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters, of whom she was in-

ordinately proud. Her pride caused her downfall. Niobe was punished by the gods for her hubris, which she disastrously displayed on the feast day of the goddess Leto. Specifically, Niobe mocked Leto and refused to participate in the religious ceremonies honoring the goddess. Niobe justified her haughtiness because the goddess was neither richer nor more powerful than she (or so Niobe thought). After all, Niobe was the heir of rich King Tantalus and was a queen. Furthermore, Niobe claimed to be seven times more blessed than Leto because Niobe had fourteen children compared to Leto’s two. Leto found Niobe’s behavior intolerable. To avenge their mother’s honor, Leto’s twin children, the sun god

The statue of Niobe atop the Great Wall before it toppled courtesy Photo in 1941. Apollo and the moon goddess Diana, rained down arrows, slaughtering all of Niobe’s children before her very eyes. Hearing Niobe’s wailing, Amphion rushed to the scene, and apprehending that his wife had deeply offended divine authority, fell on his sword. The gods, however, were not satisfied that the complete destruction of Niobe’s family was sufficient punishment for her sin. As an additional measure, they transformed Niobe into stone and commanded that she weep perpetual tears. Isaac Adams left no known record why he chose Niobe to overlook the Great Wall. We can only speculate as to his reasons. One theory harkens back to an oft told story of his youth. Perhaps this was Adams’ way of likening himself to the ancient Greek gods and saying to the citizens of Sandwich, “You were wrong to mock me as a ‘no account youth.’ In fact, you should look up to me with great deference because I have far more power and wealth than any of you could ever hope for.”

Rather than punishing his neighbors by mowing them down with arrows, like Apollo and Diana in the myth, Adams merely bought and destroyed their homes, his symbolic equivalent. He may have placed the statues of Niobe, Apollo and Diana along the Great Wall, itself an emblem of his power and wealth, to constantly remind townsfolk of his message. Geiss’ Niobe is approximately one and a quarter life size. She originally stood on a 20-foot tall stone pedestal at 24 Little Pond Road in Sandwich. From 1875 to 1941, the statue of Niobe was a popular tourist attraction in Sandwich and a source of great civic pride. In honor of Niobe, the slope where the statue stood was named “Image Hill.” In 1941, the statue fell over and was shattered into almost 200 pieces, some as large as a person, others as small as a thumbnail. The statue’s faulty original installation caused this disaster. The statue had been sleeved over a wooden block, which was bolted to See niobe on 22

We Were Supposed to be There‌ But We’re Still Here by Lorrie Baird

At this time of the year we’re supposed to be there in New Hampshire. But we’re still here in Florida because Jim lost his NH job. Here’s one for the “If you want to make God laugh‌ tell Him your plans file.â€? By this time you probably know that my husband is a polar bear. I am a parrot. For the first time in our lives we will not be spending an entire summer in New Hampshire. One of us is okay with that‌one of us is having a teensy bit of trouble adjusting. In New Hampshire, springtime debuts to the song “Summer Time and the Living Is Easy.â€? In Florida if we don’t spring out of bed at 6am and get out walking we will be broiled by 9am This, we learned the hard way when halfway through our morning walk we ended up carrying two dehydrated dogs all the way home. In New Hampshire we started our day with a bracing walk in sweatshirts, swatting blackflies all the way. Here on the Nature Coast of Florida our bugs make love, not war‌unless you bring your car into the equation. When love bugs commit suicide on the hood of your car they get even by excreting this acid-like substance that eats holes in the paint. Jim washes the car and golf cart a lot. It’s becoming his only summer exercise. In New Hampshire my toes didn’t dip into the swimming pool until mid-June and not until

July 4th weekend in the Big Lake. This morning I joined a pool aerobics class in the big pool at the club. The water was 84 degrees. Ditto for our community pool which is just steps from our front door. Many of our friends have their own private pools. In short, we’ve been spending so much time in swimming pools we’re on our way to evolving gills and our skin is permanently puckered. Last Tuesday my polar bear husband was invited to spend the afternoon hanging out in his buddy’s pool. Jim brought his own ice cubes which didn’t make a lick of difference because the water temperature was 86 degrees. With a cold drink in his hand and stretched out leisurely on full body rafts Jim and his buddy talked about guy stuff for three solid hours. I’ve been with my husband for five decades, I have never seen him sit so still‌for so long‌perfectly content. “Summer Time and the Living is Comatoseâ€? is our new Florida lifestyle mantra. Florida natives move far more slowly in the summer. Now we know why. Jim’s fallen right into the laconic summer lifestyle. The weeds are winning the garden war, and he’s perfectly okay with that. The bushes on the side of the house are threatening a hostile takeover and he assures me between yawns that they will get trimmed before eating their way into our walls. Right now Jim’s stretched out on the couch reading. Page turning is the most exercise he’s getting these days.

WHAT DO HEARING INSTRUMENTS SAY ABOUT YOU?

Still, Jim is steadily losing weight. That’s because my husband simply declines to eat anything substantial after breakfast when it’s hot outside. This, I do not understand because it’s 77 in our air conditioned house all day. I have not cooked a full meal in over two weeks because Jim has declared it’s too hot to eat. Me? If Amazon cannibals captured me, threw me into a pot and were bringing me to a slow boil I’d inform them the very least they can do is grant me a last meal request. Contrast this to the summer lifestyle we’ve lived in New Hampshire for five years. For the first three years working at the campground Jim spend the entire month

the stone pediment. Over the years, seeping water had rotted the wooden block, with unfortunate results. Luckily, the owners of the statue collected all of the broken pieces and saved them. The whereabouts of those pieces was forgotten with the passage of time. When the Porter family acquired Adams Hall in 2004, the purchase contract specified that the statue of Niobe, if it could be found, was to be sold with the property. Months later, the lost pieces were discovered under a manure pile in a horse barn behind the old Isaac Adam’s estate in Sandwich. Putting the pieces back together,

THE GREEK MYTH OF NIOBE In Greek legend, Niobe was the daughter of wealthy King Tantalus. Niobe married Amphion, and they were the first king and queen of the city of Thebes in central Greece. Niobe had fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters. Niobe was punished by the gods for her hubris, which she disastrously displayed on the feast day of the goddess Leto. Niobe mocked Leto and refused to participate in the religious ceremonies honoring the goddess. Niobe justified her haughtiness because the goddess was neither richer nor more powerful than she (or so Niobe thought). Furthermore, Niobe claimed to be seven times more blessed than Leto because Niobe had fourteen children compared to Leto’s two. Leto found Niobe’s behavior intolerable. To avenge their mother’s honor, Leto’s twin children, the sun god Apollo and the moon goddess Diana, rained down arrows, slaughtering all of Niobe’s children before her very eyes. Hearing Niobe’s wailing, Amphion rushed to the scene, and apprehending that his wife had deeply offended divine authority, fell on his sword. The gods, however, were not satisfied that the complete destruction of Niobe’s family was sufficient punishment for her sin. As an additional measure, they transformed Niobe into stone and commanded that she weep perpetual tears.

however, seemed out of the question due to the extensive damage. In 2011, Adam Nudd Homeyer, a metal artisan who resides in Sandwich, developed a plan to restore Niobe. Consulting with Carol Grissom at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum Conservation Institute, Mr. Nudd Homeyer tested and proved the efficacy of a variety of techniques to complete the restoration. The beautifully restored statue is a testament to Mr. Nudd Homeyer’s skill. The restoration was a difficult task. The metal pieces had to be put together like so many jumbled pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. In many cases, the pieces were severely distorted and very brittle. Mr. Nudd Homeyer had to reshape them to their original form with

great care to avoid causing further damage, and to fashion new pieces to fill voids. Mr. Nudd Homeyer also needed to correct structural defects from the original casting. As noted, Isaac Adams also purchased Geiss’ castings of Diana and Apollo. The plaster cast of the statue of Diana was taken from Praxiteles’ original 5th century, B.C. masterpiece on display at the Louvre in Paris, France. Diana stood on the south side of Isaac Adam’s estate, where her pedestal still remains. She was sold at an estate auction in 2010, and her current whereabouts are unknown. Nothing is known of the statue of Apollo. There are no known depictions of it nor is there a record of its ultimate disposition.

of May helping to clean up campsites. This meant that my former executive husband donned humble work clothes, wrapped a cloth around his mouth to avoid inhaling blackflies and for the first time in his life worked at menial labor, humbly taking orders from guys who might otherwise work for him. This, he did for only one reason: because just one smile and hug from our beloved granddaughters made it all worthwhile. The last two years at the campground we were grateful that Jim did not have to work so hard the entire month of May and although Jim truly enjoyed his work our main motivation was still to spend quality time with our granddaughters and reconnect with our friends in the drop-dead gorgeous Lakes Region of New Hampshire. We miss the beautiful mountains and gently rolling hills of New Hampshire. These have been replaced with palm trees and calm Gulf waters, less than 10 minutes from our house. New Hampshire has sparkling lakes and ponds that are all grown up. Most of Florida’s lakes never grew past small pond status and only the spring-fed ones remain sparkling. We miss New Hampshire’s rivers where the waters run swift and deep this time of the year. Our Weeki Wachee River - again just minutes from our house – winds slowly and lazily this time of the year, a ribbon of its former self before the rainy season comes. In both places - north and south - the majestic eagles soar and the bluebirds sing…but in Florida we see both often. And we would still count it all as loss for just one smile and a loving hug from our beloved granddaughters.

perpetrating ACORN for whom Obama canvassed in Illinois. And that brings us to the less exotic, but far more routine, kind of election insecurity that plagues the country. Hardware and software will never be completely fail-safe, no matter where it originates. But it’s the people, personnel and voter registration and verification rules in place right here at home that matter most. FACT: Over the past five months, investigative journalist James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas team have exposed systemic lapses at precincts in New Hampshire, Minnesota, Vermont and Washington, D.C. The ballots of famous public figures have been forked over to complete strangers; disenfranchisement of legitimate voters is routine. While Minnesota and New Hampshire leg-

islators have passed new voter integrity/identification laws, O’Keefe now has been targeted for investigation and possible prosecution for blowing the whistle. And Attorney General Eric Holder is striking his usual see-no-evil, shoot-the-messenger, play-the-race-card pose. The solution isn’t to sit back and bemoan a fantastical global conspiracy. The solution is to get off the couch, support election integrity activists like O’Keefe, and turn out in force on Election Day to eject Obama’s voter fraud coddlers. Like the old saying goes: If it ain’t close, they can’t cheat. Michelle Malkin is the author of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies” (Regnery 2010).

26 rambling from 9

doubt you. I’m not in the business of making excuses, but I do know that his son Danny recently fell down a flight of stairs and that one thing lead to another and Danny became hospitalized with pneumonia. I’m not sure if Danny’s out of the hospital yet or not, but normally Danny’s been a lot of help to Terry. Incidentally, I might have been one of Terry’s April emergencies as my heat and hot water went out once in April. Thank you for letting me know. Mal Fuller Then, having dwelled on her 3 emails which were all sent within a few minutes of each other I wrote again: “For some reason I’ve gotten your email three times this morning. Did you send that many to Terry? Mal Fuller� She replied; “Hi Mal, I had put your email address in incorrectly thus I resent it. I am not sure why you received it 3 times. I only sent Terry the one email with directions to my house. The problem with Terry was that he didn’t return calls and didn’t t show -up.� (Since her explanation didn’t account for her three emails, I sent her the screenshot proof included in my accompanying photo, again blind copied to Terry Biehl.) Perhaps startled, she replied: “I am sorry that there were multiple emails� Meanwhile, having seen the emails that I copied to him, Terry called me with his side of the sto-

ry, which differed from the story of the complainant. (I’ll not attempt to reiterate Terry’s explanation because, since it was verbal instead of in print, I don’t think I could quote him accurately, but what he said had a ring of truth to it, I thought. In response to Terry’s explanation, I emailed the complainant and said simply, “He has a different version of the facts.� In response she wrote: “Well if they are different- he is wrong. He lied if he said the facts are different. He didn’t show-up and he didn’t call. Why would I lie about that? When a business schedules a service call the customer expects them to show-up. What did he tell you? I know he is your friend, but I am telling the truth. If he had showed-up I wouldn’t have sent you the email. There would be no reason for me to lie. He isn’t telling the truth because he knows he was far less then professional.� And finally I replied: “I’ve known Terry since 1966, when he was a teenager. His reputation is solid with me and in my community. Since 2:11 AM today, this is your sixth email regarding his not keeping an appointment. You seem disproportionately angry over a broken appointment. I’d suggest you call someone else for your heating repair needs. I’m not sure whether to tell you I’m sorry or if I should say that to Terry instead. Mal Fuller� As of this writing that is the last I’ve heard from my reader. Her assumption that Terry is my friend is incorrect. I

Here, through the marvel of the screenshot, you can see for yourself that I received 6 emails within a few hours (beginning at 2:11 AM) all with the same subject; Terry Biehl. Terry is the heating contractor who installed our efficient Buderus boiler that saved us 38% on our heating oil consumption. All of these emails related to one reader’s complaint about Terry. (Please see the accompanying article for details.) have known of Terry for a few decades, but we’ve never been friends. He has always done well by me and that’s what I have to go on when I recommend him. Actions speak louder than words they say. Many years ago I operated a TV sales & service business and in those days a lot of my business was conducted in my customers’ homes. Each television service call represented a unique set of circumstances.

The scheduling of my appointments was a proverbial crapshoot at best! Over the years that I was in the TV business, circumstances occasionally conspired and caused me to miss an appointment. Since I was doing my best to accommodate people, I was completely intolerant of any attempt to chew me out. If Terry feels the same way, then I fully understand! While my endorsement department is

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A stubborn refusal to go ahead on a project mystifies colleagues who expected more flexibility. But once you explain your position, they’ll understand and even applaud you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A relationship seems to be stuck in the same place. Now it’s up to you, dear Bovine, to decide how far you want it to go and how intense you want it to be. Choose well and choose soon. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A relationship progresses more slowly than you would prefer. Best advice: Insist on a frank and open discussion. What is learned could change minds and, maybe, hearts. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s all right to be grateful

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s going to be especially nice to be the King of the Zodiac at this time. A recent money squeeze eases. Plans start to work out, and new friends enter Your Majesty’s domain. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Before you make a commitment on any level (personal, professional, legal), get all the facts.

Best advice: Follow your keen instincts and don’t get involved. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A prospect offers rewards, but it also demands that you assume a great deal of responsibility. Knowing you, you’re up to the challenge, so go for it, and good luck.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sense of fair play doesn’t allow you to rush to judgment about a friend who might have betrayed you. Good! Because all the facts are not yet in.

Original “Zorro� to Screen with Live Music At Flying Monkey Thursday, May 17th at 6:30pm

It was the original swashbuckling blockbuster—the film that first brought “Zorroâ€? to the big screen, and also turned actor Douglas Fairbanks into Hollywood’s first-ever action hero. “The Mark of Zorroâ€? (1920) will once again fill the silver screen, accompanied by live music on Thursday, May 17 at 6:30pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center in Plymouth. Admission is $10 per person. “The Mark of Zorro,â€? a major hit when first released, tells the story of young Don Diego Vega, the outwardly timid son of a wealthy ranch owner in Spanish California of the early 19th century. Witnessing the mistreatment of the poor by rich landowners and the oppressive colonial government, Don Diego assumes the identity of “SeĂąor Zorro,â€? a masked figure of great cunning and skill, and vows to bring justice to the region. As Zorro, he also woos the beautiful Lolita Pulido, a woman who is distinctly unimpressed with Don Diego, but who is captivated by the masked swordsman. The film stars Douglas Fairbanks Sr., who until ‘Zorro’ had focused on playing traditional all-American leading roles in romantic comedies. The success of ‘Zorro’ launched Fairbanks on a series of

historical adventure films that went on to rank among the most popular spectacles of the silent era, including ‘The Three Musketeers’ (1921), ‘Robin Hood’ (1922), ‘The Thief of Bagdad’ (1924), and ‘The Black Pirate’ (1926). The original ‘Zorro’ film was so popular it inspired one of Hollywood’s first big-budget sequels, ‘Don Q, Son of Zorro’ (1925), also starring Fairbanks. Fairbanks, one of the silent screen’s most popular leading men, was the inspiration of the character George Valentin in ‘The Artist,’ the recent Oscar-winning Best Picture. The May 17 screening of ‘The Mark of Zorro’ will be accompanied by an original score created and performed live by New Hampshire silent film musician Jeff Rapsis. Rapsis achieves a traditional “movie score� sound for silent film screenings by using a digital synthesizer to reproduce the texture of the full orchestra. ‘The Mark of Zorro’ will be screened on Thursday, May 17 at 6:30pm at the Flying Monkey Moviehouse and Performance Center, 39 South Main St., Plymouth. For more information, visit www.flyingmonkeynh.com or call (603) 536-2551.
