Classic 1977 Video Game Inspired By 40s “Shoot The Bear”

Museum Strives To Keep Video Game History Alive and Educate Future Generations This weekend, the American Classic Arcade Museum (ACAM) is holding its 15th Annual International Classic Video Game Tournament. Located on the top floor of the Funspot Family Entertainment Center in the Weirs, ACAM has the largest collection of 1980s clas-

sic video games in the world open to the public. Through these games they work their mission of not only keeping the history of them alive but also to be involved with the educational aspect of where these games have come from and what they can teach to future designers

of video games. Most every one of the over 300 classic games has a story behind it. Atari’s Triple Hunt is one of those stories. Triple Hunt is one of the extremely rare treasures that can only be found at ACAM. It is the only Triple Hunt currently available

on public display. The inspiration for Triple Hunt comes from “Shoot The Bear” a classic late 1940s arcade game that was recently featured on the History Channel’s “American Restoration.” It was the second time that a classic arcade game See acam on 10

FENWAY MANIA Years ago I was at Fenway Park for a Red Sox game with some friends. One of them got on me late in a one-sided contest. “I’ll be you don’t dare run out on the field and slide into second base,” he said. Like the rest of us, he may have had an adult libation or two. The friend knew I had an impulsive streak and that I also didn’t mind being noticed, occasionally. (Note: Every columnist is an attention seeker. Regardless of content, every column also says “I’m here. Notice me. I want to make a statement.”) I pondered running onto the field and sliding into second base, but I knew I’d probably be arrested, so I demurred. “You’re a big chicken,” said my friend. “Bawk bawk bawk. You call yourself a Marine?” He knew what buttons to push. “Okay,” I responded. “I’m game. I’ll go if you go.” Now it was his turn to demur. “I can’t slide in my shorts!” So no one ran on the field and slid into second base. Thank goodness. Still, the seed was planted in my mind. Since then, every time I go to Fenway I stare wistfully at second base, and imagine running out and sliding into that bag during the eighth inning rendition of “Sweet Caroline.” Most Red Sox fans have seen the movie “Fever

Will Mike Moffett ever get to live his dream of sliding into second base at Fenway? Pitch.” Remember the Drew Barrymore character dropping from Fenway’s centerfield stands to run past Johnny Damon on her way to stop her boyfriend (the Jimmy Fallon character) from selling his season tickets late in Game #4 against the Yankees in 2004? The scene was the movie’s climax and it reminded me of my destiny to run on to the field and slide into second base during a Red Sox game. It’s on my Bucket List. I’d jump on the field from that place down the left field line where the stands are just a few feet from the diamond. I’d run onto the field and slide into second base and then run back and jump into the stands. That would

finally exorcise the sliding demon that’s been in my brain ever since my friend made that challenge, lo, those many years ago. But I’d still probably be arrested. So if I was going to get arrested anyway, I might as well make the most of it. After sliding into second base I would jump up and head back towards the left field stands, from whence I came, facing the elderly ushers and portly cops who would be seeking to apprehend me. Then I’d do a quick turn and make a dash for the Pesky Pole area, thus drawing security personnel from THAT area. With all eyes on me, and with would-be apprehenders converging from See moffett on 6

Conibear Traps Are Archaic And Inhumane

Won’t Forget Shaheen

To The Editor: This past winter a young rescue dog named Andrew was with his owner enjoying a peaceful walk in the woods of Auburn, NH. They were on a popular public trail off Depot Road near Massabesic Lake when Andrew unknowingly put his head in a baited Conibear (body gripping) trap. The trap slammed down on his body and Andrew’s owner desperately tried to free him from its grip but was unable to do so. Andrew died an unspeakable agonizing death in the arms of his loving owner who then had to carry his lifeless body out of the woods. These Conibear traps are archaic and inhumane, slowly and painfully suffocating their victims. There is no justification that they are still in use. There are an estimated 1.321 million people in NH and only approximately 500 of them are licensed trappers. Should those 500 dictate the safety of the rest of us who want to enjoy a safe walk in the woods with our families? Should any animal, wild or domestic, die the way Andrew did, for any reason? If you agree that it is time to get these cruel, barbaric and unnecessary traps out of NH, please visit www.tinyurl.com/ nhcatfacebook or www.tinyurl.com/nhcatpetition.

To The Editor: Groups in NH who may have been targeted by the IRS should know that despite her expression of disapproval this was done at the request of some US Senators, including their own Jeanne Shaheen in both 2010 and 2012. This is not the first time Shaheen has shown herself to be a hypocrite. Shaheen’s Manchester and Hampstead offices are where the 2007 NH tea party movement was involved in protests after the Affordable Healthcare Act was introduced with the election of Obama in 2008. Shaheen was being called out for her refusal to hold any Obamacare town halls. After 80 of us showed up at her Hampstead office, she lied about our efforts by putting out a completely false and misleading press release blaming us for blocking her “constituents” from getting help. Imagine if you will, that she contended we were not her NH constituents when we were, and when it was really our group that was being blocked? No one from out of state, paid for by “Washington insiders, insurance companies, or well-financed special interests” as she claimed we were, would ever have been allowed to be part of our group. However, there were exactly 3 supporters of Obamacare who stood outside. They wore purple shirts and admitted to us that they were paid to be there by

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. 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 the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.

Listen To The Advocates To The Editor: Almost every morning I have the good fortune of having coffee with Niel Young. Niel hosts a gem of a radio program called The Advocates. In its 17th year, this program offers guests ranging from “your neighbors” to national figures such as Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter. It is also well known to local and national candidates that The Advocates is required attendance when running for office. What is refreshing about The Advocates is that it covers all issues, local and national, and does so from a fiscally and socially conservative viewpoint. Niel encourages those who have opposing views to call in and “defend their viewpoint.” And you had better be able to defend your views! Niel unapologetically defends the right of the unborn to live, the right of children to attend the school of their choice, tax-caps, religious freedom, and the 2nd amendment. He supports our Constitution and does the work many Republicans aren’t doing! Although I live in southern New Hampshire and cannot receive Niel’s show through the airwaves at See mail boat on 32

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Mad Man

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

There’s been a big uproar over this UNH logo thing this past week. For those of you who didn’t go to college, or for those of you that went to college but didn’t take Initials 101, UNH stands for the University of New Hampshire. It seems that UNH had recently offered to pay a New York marketing firm over $100,000 to design a new logo for the school. The firm came up with three new logos that no one was very crazy about and soon the uproar began to swell. I don’t disagree with them. I have seen the three new logos. I have also watched Mad Men, a show about advertising men in the 1960s. I am convinced that the logos look like something that the character Don Draper would have spent about two minutes coming up with, drawing them on a soggy cocktail napkin, finishing up his fourth martini while keeping one eye on the comely secretary sitting across the bar. Upon seeing the logos I am overcome with a great feeling of jealousy for a couple of reasons. The first is that I wish I had access to tons of taxpayer dollars to blow on anything I felt like. That would make life so much easier. Secondly, I wish I had gone into advertising as a career as this is the second time I’ve seen how simple it is to suck thousands of dollars from a government agency who have thousands of

taxpayer dollars to blow. The outrage of this latest lack of fiscal responsibility is refreshing. I only wish I had seen this uproar a few years ago when the New Hampshire Department of Travel and Tourism (NHDTT) spent double this amount to have another marketing firm come up with a new “thing” to identify New Hampshire better to the hundreds of thousands of tourists who come here in the first place. Back then, it was decided that we needed a “thing” to connect us to people. Vermont had Maple Syrup and Maine had lobsters and we had nothing. I thought it would be a good idea to have my own contest to come up with this “thing” and pay the winner ten dollars. The rules said the state motto “Live Free or Die” couldn’t be considered, so I played by the rules, even though a majority of the people who entered the contest wanted to use or motto, they thought it was the best idea. I had to disqualify them. I offered my idea to the NHDTT but they declined. So, we waited. After two years of hard work, the marketing company came up with their grand idea. I’m guessing it was over a few martinis and many ink-stained soggy napkins. Their final product was to use “Live Free And Whatever” as their idea. Simply substitute “Whatever” with one of a pre approved list of words like “giggle” or “splash” and the tourists will be beating a path to your door. When this idea was revealed it was met with praise and lauded as the greatest thing since mocha latte. It’s been a year since the grand unveiling and hardly a whisper has been mentioned about the whole

deal since. The same thing would have happened with the whole UNH logo thing if it wasn’t for the students themselves causing the uproar. College kids have been good at protesting things throughout history. They have a lot of free time between physics and Initial 101 classes and occasionally they use it for good instead of evil. So now, a group of other folks have taken up the banner and railed against this outrage to not only UNH’s proud logo, but also the tremendous amount of money spent to design it. They suggest it could have been done simpler and even for free. Doesn’t UNH have a graphics art department? This would have made a great final exam. In one way, I’m glad to see this outrage. In other ways I’m disappointed. Everyone feels that a hundred thousand dollars is a terrible waste of money for something that could have been accomplished for so much less, but no one railed against the two hundred thousand spent a couple of years ago on something similar. I am also disappointed that the UNH’s logo is considered sacred enough to fight for while our own proud state motto “Live Free Or Die” was thrown on the scrap heap and no one even blinked an eye. I’m also disappointed that I never took on marketing as a career. There’s a lot of taxpayer dollars just out there for the taking and you never even have to leave the bar.

L AST CHANCE!

two directions I’d turn left and sprint toward the vast open regions of rightcenter field. By this time, the fans would be on their feet, cheering me on. (We all know that most of us secretly root for the outnumbered outlaw to get away from the authorities, from the police … from the MAN!) Pumped up by adrenaline, I’d use my speed to put distance between me and my pursuers as I headed towards the bullpen. I’d tear off my windbreaker and throw it in the face of the nearest chaser, thus letting all the fans see me wearing my number “8” Yastrzemski Red Sox shirt. I’d dodge the authorities as long as I could, while the crowd went crazy, as I anticipated the inevitable You-Tube videos that would immortalize me the next day--after the security goons finally surrounded and apprehended me, near the 420 mark in center field, from whence Drew Barrymore emerged in 2004. “I’m here. Notice me. I want to make a statement.” Fast forward to Mothers Day, May 12, 2013. A friend and I watched the Red Sox get drilled by Toronto, 12-4. We had great seats behind home plate, so we stayed until the bitter end. Yes, I looked at second base a few times, but it was not yet the day for that Bucket List second base slide. When the game ended, field personnel quickly set up some ropes and opened a door to the field, through which streamed little kids and their mothers. The Red Sox were letting moms and kids run the bases! We walked down to the edge of the field and I noticed a DAD (heaven forbid!) joining his daughter for a run around the bases. “That’s it,” I said. “I’m going in!” With alacrity and my old athletic prowess, I leapt onto the field and headed for first base and then … THERE IT WAS! Second base! I sped up and darted around toddling tykes

and waddling moms and closed in on the bag of my dreams. I thought of sliding, but I had shorts on, and was also carrying a video cell phone, recording the historic event for You-Tube. I turned the bag and headed for third. Then home. Then back into the stands. No one arrested me. Did that dash around the Fenway infield exorcise the second base demon that has been haunting me for years? Sadly, no. I still need to do it. Alone. Someday. I just have to remember to wear my Yastrzemski shirt—and long pants! Born Today .. That is to say, sports standouts born on May 30 include NFL running back Gale Sayers (1943), basketball coach P.J.

Jane Cormier Regular CalBelknap District 8 endar. Another session day will be in the making to take care of the bills which we did not get to hear on the 22nd! The Big Bill of the day, however, was the gambling bill, SB 152 – relative to video lottery and table gambling. We entered the state house greeted by numerous supporters who could be heard cheering and carrying on during our House session. The debate on this bill lasted for hours – seventeen speak-

ers on the floor fight alone. (I thought I was going to go insane!) SB 152 came out of the Joint Committee of Finance and Ways and Means with a majority report supporting “Inexpedient to Legislate” (which basically means, kill the bill). Rep. Mary Jane Wallner writes, “SB 152 proposed to license one “high end, highly regulated” casino for a one-time $80 million licensing fee and future tax rate of 30% on up to 5,000 slot machines and a 14% tax rate on up to 150 gaming tables…Despite the claims of supporters that we need gambling revenues to fund essential safety net services, SB 152 does exactly the opposite, creating restricted revenue streams rather than putting the money in the general fund where it

Obama’s Bloody Recipe for More Benghazis Gird your loins, America. President Obama intends to empty out Guantanamo Bay and send scores of suspected by Michelle Malkin Muslim terSyndicated Columnist ror operatives back to their jihadist-coddling native countries. Goaded by anti-war activists and soft-on-terror attorneys (including those from Attorney General Eric Holder’s former private law firm), Obama announced Thursday that he’ll lift a ban on sending up to 90 Yemeni detainees home and will initiate other stalled transfers out of the compound. This radical appeasement of Obama’s left flank is a surefire recipe for more Benghazis, more U.S.S. Coles and more innocent lives at risk. A little more than three years ago, the White House assured Americans that it would not release Yemeni detainees back to their al-Qaida-infested land. In January 2010, international press outlets reported that at least a dozen former Guantanamo Bay prisoners had rejoined al-Qaida to fight in Yemen. Yemen was also the terror training ground of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the jihadist who attempted to bomb Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day in 2009. Abdulmutallab reportedly told the FBI there were countless alQaida trainees like him in Yemen. The CIA knew of Abdulmutallab four months before his bombing attempt and was aware of him meeting with terrorists in Yemen a month before his arrest. British media also reported that counter-

terrorism and intelligence officers were “aware of several British nationals and British residents who had trained at camps in Yemen’s ‘ungoverned spaces.’” From the very first days of Obama’s presidency, Americans in Yemen have been endangered. In late January 2009, the U.S. Embassy in Yemen came under gunfire. American diplomatic staff had been warned of a pending attack. That same month, two former Yemeni Gitmo detainees, Said Ali al-Shihri and Abu Hareth Muhammad al-Awfi, released a video flipping America the bird. They publicly recommitted to “aid the religion,” “establish the rightly guided caliphate” and “fight against our enemies” after undergoing terrorism “rehab” in Saudi Arabia. Charlie Sheen’s rehab worked better than that of the Sauds. Military review panels indicated that al-Shihri had traveled to Afghanistan two weeks after the 9/11 attacks, trained and funded jihadists outside Kabul, and coordinated travel for al-Qaida before being captured and held at Gitmo. After his release by the Bush administration, intel officials say he was involved in the deadly bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, in September 2008. Al-Shihri has reportedly been killed in drone attacks at least three times and may or may not have met the same fate as fellow Yemeni jihad leader and drone strike victim Anwar al-Awlaki. But this much is clear: Embassy staffers in Yemen have targets on their back, Benghazi-style. The warning flags are crimson red. Yemen also produced Jamal Ahmed Mohammad al-Badawi, the convicted mastermind of the U.S.S. Cole bombing that took

China-USA: Commerce Through a Cloudy Political Lens NEW YORK—

Dr. Henry Kissinger called for the United States and China to collaborate on a new global order. A groundby John J. Metzler breaking new Syndicated Columnist report, “U.S.China Economic Relations in the Next Ten Years,” underscored the deepening commercial engagement between the two Pacific powers. Indeed with President Barack Obama meeting his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in California in June, it’s time to overview Sino/American relations. In a high profile presentation at the prestigious Asia Society, the China-United States Exchange Foundation rolled out its new report which calls for deeper engagement and mutual benefit for the world’s two largest trading economies. Importantly the survey brings needed historical context to a trading relationship, which while massive today, was virtually non existent thirty-five years ago. Recalling the initial contacts between the United States and China during the Cold War, Henry Kissinger, the architect of Washington’s historic opening to Beijing in 1972 stated, “When we started the relationship we had a common adversary; today we have a common challenge” Dr. Kissinger was of course alluding to President Richard Nixon’s opening of the Sino/American relationship in 1972, to counter the Soviets during both the Cold War and final stages of the Vietnam conflict. Today, the context of Sino/American ties is viewed primarily through the commercial prism. Key to Mainland China’s economic revival were of course Deng Xiaoping’s reforms initiated in late 1978 which would blossom into a mixed market economy, replacing the static and stagnating socialist model from 1949 to 1978, to a now more open economy. The Report states, “Between 1978 and 2012, Chinese real gross domestic product (GDP) grew from $341 billion to $8.2 trillion to become the second

largest economy in the world, after the U.S. The survey adds, “Since 1978, central planning has largely given way to market forces.” Hundreds of millions of Chinese have been pulled out of abject poverty and a proper network of social services is emerging. Indeed the People’s Republic of China’s once- dismal per capita incomes have surged from $354 in 1978 to $6,102 in 2012. By comparison the document adds that U.S. per capita incomes in the same period surged from $29,390 to $49,880 in 2012. Interestingly back in 1978, Mainland China international trade stood at $20 billion. Today, China’s total trade in goods and services stands at a staggering 4.3 trillion! China’s post-1978 Reform Process initiated by paramount leader Deng Xiaoping has been truly impressive on the socioeconomic side. These amazing changes have yet to inspire a democratic process to challenge the Chinese Communist Party’s political monopoly. There’s an impressive narrative. U.S. exports to China have grown five fold between 2000 and 2010. If trends continue, China is likely to surpass Canada as America’s largest export market. The report cites General Motors being the market leader in the burgeoning Chinese car market, Wal-Mart is China’s largest retailer. In 2011 there was $54 billion in American direct investment in China. And according to the U.S. Department of Commerce there’s $4.3 billion in PRC investment in the USA. The U.S. China Economic Relations Survey states the Chinese exports to the USA in 2010 stood at $293 billion; “By 2022 the U.S. and China are likely to be each other’s largest trading partner…Chinese exports to the U.S. are estimated to reach $805 billion.” While American exports to China have expanded impressively, Chinese exports to the USA have surged exponentially. U.S. Department of Commerce statistics show that in 2010 American exports to China stood at $114 billion while Chinese exports to the USA actually surged to $365 billion. Washington ran a $273 billion trade deficit with Beijing

in a recession year! Last year’s U.S. deficit with the PRC widened to $315 billion. The rise of China’s middle class, and wider domestic consumption, offers opportunities for American firms. While the

U.S. remains the largest supplier of agricultural products to Mainland China, American firms have many possibilities in helping China achieve food safety and security levels. Given China’s poor

Undoing The Brainwashing This time of year, as college students return home for the summer, many parents may notice how many politically correct ideas they have acquired by Thomas Sowell on campus. Syndicated Columnist Some of those parents may wonder how they can undo some of the brainwashing that has become so common in what are supposed to be institutions of higher learning. The strategy used by General Douglas MacArthur so successfully in the Pacific during World War II can be useful in this very different kind of battle. General MacArthur won his victories while minimizing his casualties -- something that is also desirable in clashes of ideas within the family. Instead of fighting the Japanese for every island stronghold as the Americans advanced toward Ja-

pan, MacArthur sent his troops into battle for only those islands that were strategically crucial. In the same spirit, parents who want to bring their brainwashed offspring back to reality need not try to combat every crazy idea they picked up from their politically correct professors. Just demolishing a few crucial beliefs, and exposing what nonsense they are, can deal a blow to the general credibility of the professorial pied pipers. For example, if the student has been led to join the crusade for more gun control, and thinks that the reason the British have lower murder rates than Americans have is because the Brits have tighter gun control laws, just give him or her a copy of the book “Guns and Violence” by Joyce Lee Malcolm. As the facts in that book demolish the gun control propaganda fed to students by their professors, that can create a healthy skepticism about other professorial propaganda. There are other books that can See Sowell on 32

from the Funspot Family Entertainment Center was featured on the popular program. In 2010 Funspot’s Sea Skate kiddie ride was restored on the program and now is back in operation at the world famous Funspot. Last year, Funspot owner Bob Lawton brought “Shoot The Bear” to Rick’s Restoration for another successful restoration and the classic game is now on display at Funspot just two levels below the museum and where “Triple Hunt” is a working display.

The story of ACAM’s Triple Hunt goes back many years, but its recent history began in 2006. Atari historian Curt Vendel and ACAM Board member Mike Stulir were working on a project for Atari that required high-resolution photographs of Atari classic arcade game cabinets, and ACAM agreed to provide the games. After shooting photos of the games on the floor for the better part of a day, ACAM President Gary Vincent opened up the warehouse to give access to games in storage. While digging through some rare Atari treasures like Stunt Cycle

and a Tank cocktail, Curt unearthed something that made him excited in a way that we had never seen before...a Triple Hunt. Curt was so excited by this discovery that he literally begged Gary to get that game running and out on display. After an extended restoration by ACAM staff including Gary Vincent, Randy Lawton & Sarah St. John, the game was rolled out for the public during the summer of 2007. The game has been a popular fixture at ACAM ever since. Triple Hunt is a shooting target game released by Atari in 1977. It was unique for a number of reasons including sampled sound playback from an 8-track tape player. It also featured three different game modes that could be altered by a flip of a switch & replacing some screen bezel artwork. In keeping with ACAM’s mission of restoration and education, Mike Stulir has begun a series of articles on the development of certain games. Recently, Mike had an opportunity to talk to Owen Rubin, the creator of Triple Hunt, to get the real story of the history of the game: STULIR: What is your educational background?

uated U.C. Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, BSEE. I took some multimedia graduate courses at M.I.T., but did not get a degree. STULIR: How did you come to work for Atari? OR: Close to my graduation, I saw them interviewing at the Berkeley campus, and got an interview. Because I was an Electrical Engineering grad, they thought I wanted to be a hardware engineer, so I was turned down. When I called them and said, “Uh, no, I was interviewing for a game programmer...”, I was asked to do a second round of interviews, and hired that day. STULIR: You were one of Atari’s first software engineers. Despite being such a new industry, coin-op video games were going through a major shift with the change from discrete logic games (like Pong and Stunt Cycle) to microprocessor/software games. Can you discuss some of the development equipment you were involved with during your early days at Atari? OR: I started in a small lab with the guy who did

arcade Stunt Cycle. He and another guy designed a game board that had a stamp based play field. You could place one of about 64 letters or graphics in each stamp. There were also a number of simple motion objects that could be moved around the screen, and display one of 32 or maybe 64 images stored in a EPROM. The boards took either 6502 or 6800 (NOT 68000), programmers choice. I used 6800. To program, we had a device called a MicBug, a small debugger. That connected to the game board, and to a model 33 electromechanical teletype with paper tape reader and puncher. STULIR: Triple Hunt was one of your early games at Atari. Where did the idea come from? Was the idea for this game something that you suggested, or was it a concept given to you by Atari? OR: It was a long time ago, but I believe this was my idea. I always liked the mechanical “Shoot the Bear” by Seeburg and wanted to do a video game version of it. The game started out as a Shoot the Bear in video. Then we added the raccoons climb-

arcade? OR: Yes. Also, it was expensive as a two piece cabinet, and the game was very simple, so this would let operators change the games easily. Strangely, I saw a few arcades with three of them, one for each setting. STULIR: Triple Hunt featured sound stored on an 8-track tape player. This was something that had been done previously by a number of mechanical shooting games like Midwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea Rescueâ&#x20AC;? or Ballyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Space Flight.â&#x20AC;? Having that real sound makes a huge difference in the gameplay experience. What was the inspiration for that feature, and what were the challenges in integrating that technology into a video game? OR: I actually did this on my very first game Cannon Ball. The hardware of the time could not do very good sounds, and I wanted something better. I actu-

ally did all the sounds for the tapes as well, recoding them from sound effect samples I obtained, and editing them on two reel to reel tape recorders. Since the sounds were simply background sounds, all the hardware had to do is switch on and off the tape player, no big deal. Originally, I wanted a single tape and the hardware would switch which track played, but that turned out to be a lot harder than we thought, and it was a LOT easier to simply ship tapes you swapped when you changed the game. As it turns out, the bear and raccoons were almost the same sounds, so we only had two tapes in the end. STULIR: The game utilized a display mechanism involving a mirror. Can you explain how the light gun & display mechanism function? OR: Well, it was not actually a light gun. Instead, we had two potentiometers in the base of the gun.

courtesy Photo

During setup, you aligned the gun with the upper left and lower right corners, and the game tracks the movement of the gun. No light reception was necessary. The mirror was a half-silvered mirror that sat in front of the monitor, and let the light of the monitor show through. It also reflected the graphics over the mirror image, and added depth. In the bear game, there was also a display â&#x20AC;&#x153;maskâ&#x20AC;? that let the bear walk in front of some trees, and walk behind others. It was a great, 3D effect. The only real trick was to not hit the bear when he was supposedly behind the tree. If it were a light gun, it would have worked just fine. STULIR: Were there any features or gameplay elements for Triple Hunt that you had in mind that did not make it into the game? OR: That is true for just about every game ever See acam on 14

Bob Lawton Tells The Story Of “Shoot The Bear”

In the early days of Funspot, my brother John and I didn’t have much money to buy new games so we were always on the lookout for used coin-operated machines. Gil Lawrence, a topnotch game repairman, from Trimount Coin Machine Company in Boston, Ma, called one day in the early 1960s to let us know an aracade in Revere Beach, Massachusetts, which had been in business for over 50 years was looking to sell some of its old machines.

We made the trip to meet with the owner, Abe Shore. Abe was blind so an employee escorted us underneath the arcade where there were about 100 machines dating back to the 1920s. These machines were unlike anything you see today. Many had beautiful oak or cherry cabinets with ornate detailing in the wood and nickel-plated cast iron legs. Strength testers, love testers, palm readers and horoscope card machines were everywhere in the 20s and

Bob Lawton (R) with Rick Dale during the filming of American Restoration where Funspot’s vintage “Shoot The Bear Game” was restored. It can be seen at the Funspot Family Entertainment Center in Weirs. NH. 30s and the cellar was full of them. Most were in fair condition but many were rusty and damaged due to water and sand exposure from the nearby Atlantic Ocean. We offered Abe $250 for anything we wanted which Abe agreed to since the local scrap wanted $35 per truckload to haul it away!

Shortly thereafter, John and I rented an U-Haul truck and returned with our employee Pete Herbert and Eddie and Brenda Clark of Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln, NH. We ended up with 38 machines, including two Seeburg “Shoot The Bear” Ray-O-Lite rifle ranges. Eventually, I restored all

the games we purchased and used them at Funspot for many years. The one remaining machine from that trip to Revere Beach is this “Shoot The Bear.” Our friends from the History Channel’s “American Restoration,” Rick and Kelly Dale and their talented crew did a beautiful job restoring it.

near as many from the coin-op side. Do you have any stories about the work environment at Atari in the early days? OR: The coin-op side was a bit more serious, but had its own crazy times. But engineers took the work seriously. It was not unusual to arrive around 8AM, and not leave until late at night. Often, to get things done, many of us worked all night long many days.

made. I wanted more complex game play, objects with different flight patterns, etc, etc. That was a LONG time ago, so specifics would be hard to come by. STULIR: I would be curious to know more about the creative process..... specifically balancing your ideas forTriple Hunt against the available technology of the day. Can you cite an example of a unique solution used to overcome limited technology? OR: Wow, that is a hard question. With Triple Hunt, we had to overcome the problem of light guns for example. In a single cabinet with the gun close, a light gun will work well. But with the gun far away, overhead lights (especially fluorescents) would cause problems. That is why we went with pots on the gun. The sounds on tape is another, given that sound systems of the day could not do that kind of sound, but a tape deck was a simple solution. STULIR: If you could step in a time machine and revisit the development of Triple Hunt, is there anything you think

Mike Stulir (L) and Gary Vincent of the American Classic Arcade Museum in front of the david lawton Photo interactive classic game display at the museum. you would do different, or do better? OR: Probably not. It was a rush project, and I was still learning how to make games. It was too long ago to really remember. STULIR: One thing that we have been so pleased about is the amount of young kids that are discovering these classic games. We see a lot of this in the museum, and also when we bring our

traveling exhibit to places like PAX-East or Escapist Expo. Back in the day, did you ever expect that these games would have the longevity that they have? OR: No way. I probably would have kept more of my games if I had known. I love that new people are still discovering them. That is cool. I guess for many of these old games, the simple game play still works.

S TUL I R: Looking at some of the games that were being produced while you were at Atari, did you have any favorites....from Atari or other companies? OR: I really liked Asteroids when it came out. I was a big fan of DigDug (and I have one) and for a long time, played Defender. I liked Donkey Kong too. And as a strange favorite, Sega’s original vector Star Trek. Not sure why, but it was a favorite of mine as well. STULIR: What do you think is the most underrated coin-op game, and why? OR: I have to say my own Major Havoc was under rated. It had a LOT of firsts, but because we did it in Vector, a lot of arcades would not buy it, so many never saw it in its original form. The retro kit attached to a monitor that was too slow, so it flickered too much, so it did not look good. It was a great game, and a LOT of depth, one of the first to have a full story behind it, etc. etc. I think had it been done in Raster, it might have done a lot better. STULIR: I have heard a ton of crazy stories from the console development guys about what life was like at Atari in the late 70’s/early 80’s. I don’t seem to hear anywhere

STULIR: You also spent some time in game development at Bally Sente. Are you still involved in game development today? OR: Yes. I am one of the founders, and an executive in a newer company called Innovative Leisure Inc, made up of original game designers from Atari, and one from Cinimetronics. I started a game here, but my executive work made me resign it to a different group. I still have a little say, and will help with wave design. STULIR: What kind of games can we expect to see out of Innovative Leisure Inc? OR: Good ones! You know, of course, I cannot talk about them until released, but I hope we will not disappoint everyone. STULIR: Do you have any advice for students looking to pursue game development as a career? OR: USC is one choice. USC has a game design program, and we have actually hired some of the graduate students from that program. Basically, study hard, become a great programmer, learn as many tricks as you can, and then get some part time work with a game company. Have patience, and work with people who can teach you as much as you can learn. The interns we have hired are soaking this stuff up like a sponge. We will hire some of them, and eventually, they will lead their own game project. The best advice I have is to be patient and learn.

Obama & the Gang of 8: Munos-Munos Thanks You! D i c k Morris on May 24: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obama Surrenders To Terrorists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Obama unilaterally surby Niel Young Advocates Columnist rendered in the War on Terror during his speech at the National Defense University.â&#x20AC;? ******** Oh come on Morris, take it easy on the Community Organizer. Barack is the leading voice in America for forgiving the millions of ILLEGALS who sneaked into our country to have a better life. Why just last week an Illegal immigrant was charged with intoxication manslaughter in Harris County deputyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. It seems Andres Munos-Munos, 23 ran a red light and drove right into a pickup truck being driven by a 16 year veteran police officer. So, we have a border lawbreaker who is drunk killing Sgt. Dwayne Polk. But wait, there is more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; someone get Barack on the phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what do you mean you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where he is? Hussein may be wherever he was the night of the murder of four Americans in Benghazi. Houston Police said Munos-Munos allegedly ran a red light shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. No evidence that Munos-Munos even attempted to stop prior to the crash. Munos-Munos suffered minor injuries. Okay, Barack Hussein Obama, check this out; â&#x20AC;&#x153;records show he was arrested on June 10, 2012 for driving while intoxicated. He also was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. He was deported in July 2012, but later returned

to the U.S.â&#x20AC;? Thanks to KHOU 11 CBS for inspiring me. ******** Last week a letter in the Laconia Daily Sun was critical of me, can you believe it? The problem; the writer is very upset that I use all three names of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barryâ&#x20AC;?. How many Americans do we know with the name Barack, or Hussein, or Obama? There were many presidents where they used all three names. Some names come to mind; Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Dwight David Eisenhower, Richard Milhous Nixon, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Rev. Martin Luther King, William Jefferson Clinton, and George Dubya Bush. The writer is not the first Liberal to attempt to hurt my radio program with my sponsors, but that is what cowards do. Actually it may interest potential advertisers to part of a popular program that brings customers through the door. Just so you know, Looney Socialists Liberals, those who live off those of us who work and pay taxes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elite Republicansâ&#x20AC;?, more than a few conservative Republicans, who differ with my approach. I am an equal opportunity person doing what most will not do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fifth Amendment privilege is not designed to protect the innocent. The innocent do not need protection from the truth (just from the IRS). The privilege is designed to protect the bedrock principle that the burden of proof is always on the government and, derivatively, that a person is never required to prove his innocence. (No surprise, I suppose, that an IRS official is unfamiliar with these foundational

pillars of Anglo-American law.)â&#x20AC;? --National Reviewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrew C. McCarthy. ******** Since the last two years of G W Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration I have maintained that in a group of Republican amoeba it is the fiscal and social conservative women who have the backbone for the party Favorables for the Tea Party have jumped since news broke that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting the grassroots movement and other conservative groups. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters now have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party. That is up 14 points since January. ******** Barack Obama: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we must keep information secret that protects our operations and our people in the field. To do so, we must enforce consequences for those who break the law and breach their commitment to protect classified information. But a free press is also essential for our democracy. I am troubled by the possibility that leak investigations may chill the investigative journalism that holds government accountable. Journalists should not be at legal risk for doing their jobs. Our focus must be on those who break the law.â&#x20AC;? Here is a bit of advice for the Prez and his administration; stop doing your jobs half way. The economy still stinks, our country is in debt up to our eyebrows, you fought sequestration, you want to break the debt ceiling again, and you have created this â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us against See advocates on 38

I love children’s sermons. That’s the time when all the young ones come up out of their seats and sit in the front of the church. I get to talk just with them, and the adults can listen in. Sometimes I will ask the children a question, and if they can’t answer, I will ask the adults, but adults really are kept on the fringes. People often tell me that they like the children’s sermons better than the adult sermons, but I suspect that is because they are comfortable and remind them of their own childhoods. We all like the safety of good memories over the challenges or deeper information we may be given during other sermons. Besides, as Art Linkletter used to say, “Kids say the darnest things”. Ask an adult in front of the whole crowd what they did wrong this week, and everyone will look away – no one will answer. Ask the children, and they will be honest – sometimes confessing to things their parents didn’t know about yet! In our church, I have used the Mystery Box for years. Every week, a child takes it home and decides what to put in it. They bring it back and hand it over to me before church – usually as I am walking in, and I have to base the children’s sermon on what is in the box. They have no mercy as they try to stump me. A headless Barbie doll, a puzzle, a picture the child drew, a ballet slipper – one person left the box empty. Occasionally

I have had to have them identify what the new electronic devise is before I can talk about it. However, I tell them that anything they bring can remind us about God if we think about it. My goal isn’t just to fill time, but to challenge people to think theologically. What does this thing they see remind them of about God? At first, people will just say that was cute or funny or whatever. But as time goes by, adults will e-mail me or catch me in the hall – “Why didn’t you say…?” That’s what I want; that person is thinking theologically. I wondered how long it would take children to realize that the children’s sermons often carry one theme – “God loves you”, just said in many ways. While I don’t know yet if they have caught that, I have had some surprising responses. One little boy came in and said, “You could say this….” before we even started. Another child sat through the talk, and then said, “I would have said…” I wanted to stand up and cheer. You get it! You are thinking theologically! We grown up s w a n t children to act like us. Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Unless you have faith like one of these little ones, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” We can debate until the cows come about what the faith of a child is like, but I think the answer is simple. A child wants to learn. A child is willing to try new things, especially when everything is new. A child falls and tries again until she gets it.

Four Health Checks Every Woman Must Do - For Herself And Those She Loves American women spend more time taking care of their families, homes and jobs than themselves. With so much time invested in caring for others, women can overlook the importance of their own health. Yet, neglecting their own health needs can make it much harder for women to also take care of those they love. Women who consider themselves generally in good health and who are very busy may be less inclined to stay on schedule with important health checks. If putting off a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like that big a deal, consider these womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health statistics: *A full-time working mom spends more than 10 hours a day on household activities, taking care of children and working outside the home, and just 2.3 hours on â&#x20AC;&#x153;me timeâ&#x20AC;? of leisure activities or sports, according to the Bureau of Labor Statisticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Time Use Survey. *Fifty-six percent of mothers say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;very difficultâ&#x20AC;? to achieve a worklife balance, according to Pew Research. *More than 14 percent of American women age 18 and older are in fair or poor health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Week is May 12 to 18, but taking care of your own health should be a year-round pursuit. Here are four health checks every woman should have,

and if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while (or never) since you had one, schedule a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit right away: *Annual physical - Kids get a checkup every year, and so do senior citizens. You should, too. No matter what your age or relative level of health, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to see your family doctor at least once a year for a complete physical that includes blood pressure screening and a blood test that will check for diabetes, high cholesterol and other problems. This checkup can help your doctor spot any problems, provide you with guidance toward your weight and health goals, and give you peace of mind when everything checks out just fine. *Skin check - Skin cancer rates have been rising for years, and now one in every five Americans will get skin cancer, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, if caught early. In addition to performing regular selfchecks, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have your skin thoroughly checked by a professional, too. Ask your physician to include a skin check as part of your annual physical, or schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. *Reproductive health - From fertility questions and cancer screenings, to heavy periods and uterine fibroids, women can face many reproductive health issues. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for women of every

age to monitor the health of reproductive organs, so be sure to see your gynecologist once a year. He or she can also tell you what tests you should have to monitor your health, such as an annual pap smear or mammogram. Visit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change the Cycleâ&#x20AC;? to learn more. * Mental/emotional well-being - Just as you take care of your own physical health and the mental health of your family members, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take care of your own emotional wellbeing. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with finding some â&#x20AC;&#x153;me-timeâ&#x20AC;? for yourself every day. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital. Numerous studies show that happy, relaxed people are healthier than their stressed, tired, unhappy peers. Whether your mental health regimen includes meditation, a pedicure or 15 minutes with a good book, set aside time each day to do something that makes you relaxed and happy.

Cancer Survivors to Celebrate LIFE at LRGHealthcare Beloved Doctor to be Recognized

LACONIA - Cancer Survivors Celebration will be held on Thursday, June 6 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. in the Lower Level Conference Rooms at Lakes Region General Hospital. Cancer survivors, their families, and all members of the community are welcome to join in the celebration, which will honor cancer survivors and their caregivers. “Cancer Survivors Day is not only a wonderful opportunity to come together to celebrate life, it is a real reminder to cherish each and every day,” states LRGHealthcare Vice President of Clinical Support Services Marge Kerns. “I encourage cancer survivors, their families and friends to attend this heartwarming event – a gathering to remind one another that there is hope, love, and life after a cancer diagnosis.” This celebration will also be a special recognition and farewell to Dr. Robert Friedlander for his many years of service to patients in the Oncology Department at LRGH. “Dr. Friedlander will be leaving in June to pursue a fellowship in palliative care. Although we will miss him terribly, as he was with us from the beginning, this seems so fitting as his thoughtful, gentle, and caring manner leaves an impression on everyone he meets. We wish him all the best,” adds Kerns. All are welcome to attend the June 6 celebration which will include light refreshments, a banner for survivors to sign, and professionals speaking on topics of interest including Nutrition, Fitness, Guided Imagery,

Reiki, and Clinical Trials. In addition, colleagues and patients of Dr. Friedlander are encouraged to stop by to wish him well and welcome Dr. Michael Buff as his replacement. For more information on the Cancer Survivors Day celebration, or the range of cancer services available through LRGHealthcare, contact the Hematology/ Oncology Department at

Healthy Summer Skin: Tips For Every Age As people show more skin with the summer season, it is important to get into a skincare routine that fits your lifestyle. Extended time in the sun can result in unwanted wrinkles, blemishes and sagging skin, not to mention more serious consequences melanomas, scarring and skin cancer. Current estimates show that one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. Fortunately, it only requires simple steps alongside a protective mindset to prevent skin damage at every stage of life. To maintain a healthy exterior this season, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Stanferd L. Kusch provides the following tips for strong, glowing skin at any age: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your 20s,

though you may not be worrying about wrinkles yet, your skin may start to show warning signs of damage. Now is the time to focus on prevention. * Stay hydrated: Drinking water helps delay the appearance of wrinkles. * Quit smoking: Smoking strips your skin of elastin and collagen, leaving you at the risk of severely premature facial wrinkling. * Eat smart: Foods that are high in vitamin C and antioxidants help prevent wrinkles by reflecting UV radiation from the sun. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your 30s this is the first time many see distinct signs of aging and skin damage, and it becomes necessary to build a more aggressive damage control and prevention regimen.

able lines, blotchiness or dryness. * Limit exposure: Decreasing sun exposure is the best way to prevent skin cancer. * Moisturize regularly: While moisturizers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down the aging process, they can help soothe increasingly raw or irritated skin and can help strengthen collagen. * Add a little pep: Skin creams with peptides (small chains of protein molecules) can stimulate collagen and plump sagging skin. *Assess the damage: Take advantage of free health screenings at your local pharmacies or retailers. * Maintain reduced stress levels. Ask your pharmacist or clinician about the effects of cortisol and stress on your skin and weight. * Get acquainted with retinoids: Retinoid creams contain compounds found in vitamin A and are used

to treat wrinkles, sun damage and acne. Retinoid creams are available in both prescription and overthe-counter treatments. * Make sunscreen a habit: Use (and reapply) sunscreen throughout the day whenever you go outside. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your 40s, years of sun exposure can leave your skin with notice-

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 50-plus itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critical to be aware of changes in your skin that may reflect the status of its health.------* Self check: Monitor changes in your skin and look out for persistent pink, scaly patches and red or black pearly spots or bumps - these can sometimes be indicators of skin cancer. * See a dermatologist: By age 50, everyone should have a total body skin check to screen for skin cancer. * Continue good habits: Sunscreen is still an absolute must for this age range, and moisturizers and hydration are even more important than ever. No matter what your age, everyone feels most confident when their skin is its healthiest. Visit your doctor or take advantage of free counsel from pharmacists and local health screenings.

Strawbery Banke Museum Exhibit “Tapping Portsmouth”

Friday, June 7 at 4pm Lavinia’s Restaurant in Center Harbor

Four Portsmouth breweries are working together with Strawbery Banke Museum to present this year’s special exhibit, “Tapping Portsmouth: How the Brewing Industry Shaped the City.” To celebrate both the extensive history of brewing in Portsmouth and the extraordinary conjunction of major breweries, brew pubs and home brewing styles and ingredients (including heritage plants, herbs and hops from Strawbery Banke) on the Seacoast, the brewers are creating three collaborative beers: A Colonialstyle ale, brewed at Earth Eagle, made from turnips, a splash of molasses and spruce tips; an Industrialera porter will be made at the Portsmouth Brewery with Strawbery Banke ginger and molasses; a “super hoppy” IPA, Stride Wide Ale, at Redhook. Strawbery Banke Museum’s featured exhibit, “Tapping Portsmouth: How the Brewing Industry Shaped the City,” offers a pub crawl through 300 years of history as brewers and tavern

food safety (largely fueled by corruption) and staggering pollution levels, both states should stress energy cooperation and pollution control technology. This offers a win-win for both sides. Viewing the extraordinary commercial ties between the two Pacific partners is impressive; but what of the PRC’s rigid political context which will ultimately make or break the rosy business relationship? We must re-focus our political lens lest we miss the wider reality. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.

the lives of 17 American sailors in October 2000. As I’ve reported previously on the Yemen jihad revolving door: Despite being sentenced to the death penalty, escaping twice from jail and being indicted in the U.S. on terrorism charges, the Yemeni government freed al-Badawi in 2007 in exchange for a promise that he renounce his old murdering ways. Al-Badawi remains at large and is on the FBI Most Wanted fugitive terrorist list. As he did with the families of the Benghazi victims, Obama had promised the families of the U.S.S. Cole bombing victims “swift justice.” Instead, the administration initially dropped the death penalty case against a key Cole plotter being held at Gitmo -- former Persian Gulf Operations Chief for al-Qaida Abd al-Rahim alNashiri, a Saudi Arabian national of Yemeni descent -- and has dragged its feet on reinstating and pursuing the trial for four long years. Which side are Obama and his lawyers on, anyway? As I reported in “Culture of Corruption,” Covington and Bur-

ling, the former private law firm of Close Gitmo crusader and Attorney General Eric Holder, has provided dozens of Yemeni Gitmo detainees hundreds of hours of pro bono legal representation and sob-story media relations campaigns. While these bleedingheart lawyers dismiss the perils of Gitmo recidivism, the numbers don’t lie. I repeat: The office of the Director of National Intelligence reports that 27.9 percent of the 599 former detainees released from Guantanamo were either confirmed or suspected of later engaging in jihadist attacks. __One of those Gitmo recidivists still on the loose is Ansar al-Sharia leader Sufyan Ben Qumu a.k.a. Abu Sufian bin Qumu, the suspected plotter of the 9/11/12 Benghazi attack. How much more American blood and treasure will this reckless, feckless game of jihadi catch-andrelease cost?

DEAR TIM: I want to install some flat pieces of rock for a walkway. I’m also using the same stone to make a shortcut where two sidewalks meet at a 90-degree angle. Do you have suggestions on how to trim the stone to fit, how to set the stone in place, and what to fill in the joints with between each piece of stone? I’ve seen TV shows where they just pour small pieces of rock between the large pieces of stone. --Ron B., Chicago DEAR RON: I’m quite sure I can help you with this project as I’ve got lots of experience creating walkways using brick, stone and other masonry materials. Perhaps you can learn best from my failures and successes. When I was a greenhorn in the construction business, I decided to install a gorgeous brick sidewalk at the second home my wife and I rehabilitated. Back in the 1970s, home improvement television shows were in their infancy, and I watched a show where a man said to just lay the brick in coarse sand. All you had to do was level the sand, butt the brick against one another and sweep fine sand between the cracks in the brick. That seemed like a great idea, and it was most certainly easier and less expensive than putting the brick down in concrete or on a gravel base. I proceeded with the job and it really came out looking spectacular. But then I discovered that the bricks would shift at the edges, sand would track constantly into the house and weeds growing between the brick were

The small loose stones between the pieces of rock can cause a mess. a constant nuisance. In other words, my new brick walkway was a disaster. A few years before, I had installed a brick walkway and path for my future mother-in-law using a very different method. I blended coarse, damp sand with Portland cement, spread this mixture about 3 inches thick, leveled it and then tamped it. I then butted the brick on top of this and swept the cracks with fine sand mixed with Portland cement. That patio, to this day, still looks fantastic. It was a grand success, and only a few of the edge bricks ever popped loose. The few weeds that grew in the cracks were easily removed or treated with weed killer. My best stone and brick walkways involved more work, but 30 years later they look the same as the day I installed them. I discovered that if you want really professional results, you install the stone or brick on top of poured concrete that contains reinforcing steel. The reinforced concrete creates a solid foundation for the finished stone or brick so that it resists frost heave or other ground movement. I would mortar the brick

or the stone to the concrete slab with regular mortar made from medium sand and Portland cement. The mortar bed was usually only a half-inch thick. I would mix three parts sand to one part Portland cement for this bedding mortar. The spaces between each piece of stone or brick was filled with extremely strong mortar made from clean sand and lots of Portland cement. I wanted a mortar that would possibly last See builder on 38

likewise demolish other politically correct beliefs that prevail on campuses. My own recent book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intellectuals and Race,â&#x20AC;? has innumerable documented facts that expose the fallacies in most of what is said about racial issues in most college classrooms. For those students who have bought the campus party line on Third World nations, the classic study of that subject is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Equality, the Third World, and Economic Delusionâ&#x20AC;? by the late P.T. Bauer of the London School of Economics. He made a veritable demolition derby of most of what has been said in politically correct circles about the relationship between rich and poor countries. For those students who have been conditioned to regard the welfare state as

the solution to social problems, there is no book that exposes the actual human consequences of the welfare state more poignantly than â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life at the Bottomâ&#x20AC;? by British physician Theodore Dalrymple. He has worked in both low-income neighborhoods and in prisons, so he has seen it all. Although Britain is the setting for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life at the Bottom,â&#x20AC;? Americans will recognize very similar patterns here. Problems found in low-income black ghettoes in the United States are found in low-income white neighborhoods in Britain, where none of the usual excuses about racism, slavery, etc., apply. The only thing that is the same in both countries is the welfare state and its poisonous ideology. If your student has been led to believe that â&#x20AC;&#x153;com-

Bruce Thibeault

prehensive immigration reformâ&#x20AC;? -- amnesty, in plain English -- is the only way to go, a devastating book titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mexifornia,â&#x20AC;? by Victor Davis Hanson, introduces some cold, factual reality into a subject usually discussed in sweeping and lofty rhetoric. A book that offers a choice between the islandhopping strategy that General MacArthur used in the Pacific and the all-out assault across a broad front that was used by the Allied armies in Europe is titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The New Leviathan.â&#x20AC;? It has thirteen penetrating articles by leading authorities on such subjects as national security, ObamaCare, environmentalism, election frauds and more. Those parents who want to follow the MacArthur strategy can recommend

reading one, or a few, of these articles, while those who want to follow the strategy of attacking all across a broad front can recommend that their student read the whole book. However the battle is fought, what is most important is that the battle be fought, since the young are the future, and the propaganda of today can become the government policies of tomorrow.

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An apparent act of injustice might turn out to be either an error in judgment or just plain stupidity. So calm down and cool off, and let the explanations roll out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s upsetting when someone you trusted might have failed you. But with new opportunities ahead, you’ll soon be too busy to feel even a wee bit sorry for yourself. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A sense of uncertainty could be a good reason to change your position on an important matter. Someone close might try to talk you out of it, but it’s your decision to make. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Being too zealous in pursuing your goal could create some resistance. Try to be more mindful of what you ask people to do, and they’ll be more likely to do it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Things change as you go from being ignored to

being Lionized once again. This is a good time to reintroduce those previously rejected ideas to a more receptive audience. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone new in your life creates both anticipation as well as anxiety. Avoid the potential for misunderstandings by watching what you say and how you say it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch your budget so that you don’t overspend now and have less to invest when the time is right later on. Arrange to share your weekend with someone special. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The temptation to involve yourself in a friend’s or family member’s personal problems is laudable. But get the facts before you make a firm commitment.

50 to 100 years so that I wouldn’t ever have to worry about tuckpointing it. I would estimate that the compressive strength of the mortar exceeds 8,000 pounds per square inch because it contains so much Portland cement. I made this mortar by mixing one part sand to one part Portland cement. It was extremely rich in cement content; fortunately, a bag of Portland cement is not really expensive. As for trimming the stone,

I discovered that you could use a tired old circular saw equipped with an abrasive masonry blade to create crisp cut lines in both brick and stone. If you desire the more rustic hand-chipped look on the edges of the stone, you can use the saw to make a score line on the bottom of the stone just under where you want the jagged line to appear. Cut the stone at least halfway through its thickness and then tap the top side of the stone with a hammer along the line you

want to create. This should produce an acceptable jagged line when the stone splits off. Installing stone, brick or any other finished masonry material on top of a poured concrete base is lots of work. When I watch the modern television shows that show the fast and easy method, I usually chuckle because the young people on camera remind me of myself when I thought it was a grand idea to take the shortcut placing the brick in the sand. If you do decide to place your stone on top of a concrete base, don’t spend the time to put a smooth finish on it. You want the concrete to be in the same plane with no humps in it, but a simple screeded finish with some holes in it will do just fine. The coarse finish helps hold the bedding mortar to the concrete. Want free home-improvement information? Go to www.AsktheBuilder.com and sign up for Tim’s free newsletter. Have a question for Tim?

It was bloated to the point of being ludicrous, it did not offer clear and vital future revenue information, and the jobs “carrot” was not a sure thing, with its “one casino” location being in Salem NH. Who is to say these jobs would actually go to NH citizens with the MA border being only minutes away? While people may desire expanded gambling in NH, SB 152 was absolutely not the answer. I am sure gambling will pop up again in the future as “easy money” is just too difficult to turn away. Of course, things given “free” or “easily” are seldom what they seem. I look forward to the day when we finally understand nothing is “free” when you talk about money and/ or power. We will always end up paying – one way or the other!

His widely read “FOOL in New Hampshire” columns in the Weirs Times have been delighting readers for over 17 years. He has also been amusing live audiences with his “Flatlander” stories. Brendan’s ½-hour presentation is available for groups and organizations at a modest fee. For more information, or to book an appearance, email to brenthom12@gmail.com
