“The Shaker Legacy” At Lake Winni Museum

The “Lone Eagle” Flies Over Winnipesaukee by Jane Rice Contributing Writer

visit to New Hampshire that same summer. It starts with Bob Fogg, a World War I aviator who came to Concord, NH, in 1920 to start an aviation business. At the behest of the Chamber of Commerce aviation committee, he became the first operator of the Concord Airport. Like many young men starting out in business, he borrowed money from his father, which in this case he

used to buy a war surplus trainer airplane known as a Curtiss Canuck, similar to the famous Jenny but built in Canada. After an adventurous flight from Toronto back to Concord, he began hopping passengers on the Fourth of July, 1920. Business was good, and soon he had four airplanes operating at Concord, Hampton Beach, and various fairs See lindbergh on 22

If you had been around Lake Winnipesaukee on July 25, 1927, and looked up at just the right moment, you could have seen Charles Lindbergh, the “Lone Eagle” himself, flying over Lake Winnipesaukee in his famous “Spirit of St. Louis.” What a once in a lifetime sight that would have been!

Now, most history buffs know that Charles Lindbergh made history on May 20, 1927, when he flew from New York to Paris in the Ryan NYP “Spirit of St. Louis.” Lindbergh immediately became the most famous and popular man in the world, and the airplane has been on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. ever since 1928. Not so many know about his

Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is presenting Daryl Thomas and “The Shaker Legacy” on Saturday June 28th at 11am. In their more than two and a half centuries of existence, members of the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, commonly known as Shakers, made ingenious contributions to diverse fields: agriculture, industry, medicine, music, furniture design, women’s rights, racial equality, craftsmanship, social and religious thought, and mechanical invention and improvement. Darryl Thompson explores some of these contributions in his lecture and shares some of his personal memories of the Canterbury Shakers. This event is free and is made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council. The museum is located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, NH. Next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 3665950.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Trying To Help

Weirs Times Editor

This is a very confusing and stressful week here in the Lakes Region, depending on which perspective you are taking. First off, this coming Saturday we will be holding an unusual summer meeting of F.A.T.S.O. which is a winter support group for new transplants to New Hampshire. In case you are unfamiliar it stands for Flatlanders Adjusting To Solitary Oblivion. We usually take the summer off, for obvious reasons, but after this past long, cold winter we have been recently inundated with calls from new members as well as those who may one day become one. Having a meeting on the first day of summer must seem to you to be counterproductive. After all, this is the time of the year that is a cause for great celebration as sun worshippers and merchants alike get ready for the big eight to nine week push that makes the long winter worth the wait. Still, there are some, much more pessimistic in nature who look upon the first day of summer with regret and despair. You see, it is the longest day of the year and, yes, all days that follow will now be shorter and shorter. The sun will set a few minutes earlier each week and then, as more than a few fear, they will soon enough find themselves waiting in quiet anticipation for that wondrous damp, dark day in December when they

you had to attend a variety of seminars for business. The sun may have set at 4pm but in your mind all you wanted to do was see them end, especially if they were somewhere like Vegas. Then there are the many days in a row when you have a contractor in for some renovations. Those days never seem to go by fast enough. Of course, we will be providing many more examples to help silent sufferers of this still unnamed condition. Will it work? We have no idea, but at least we tried, at least we did that much. So, if you are one of those whose mind is fraught with the coming of the first day of summer and all that it will bring, please feel free to join us this Saturday at a special F.A.T.S.O meeting. We are also offering a different kind of meeting after this one for those who are feeling confused about this entire week in general. To those of you who are visiting the area this weekend thinking that Motorcycle Week, which usually ends on Fathers day weekend, would long be over by now, thinking that the second weekend was really the weekend before but are now finding out it was the first weekend and that the weekend you are here for is really the second weekend when it should have been no weekend at all, we will be offering a small seminar following the first one to help you get over your confusion. We really hope to see all of you there, if you don’t get caught in traffic. Godspeed. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com

can find solace in the fact that the days are now beginning to get longer again. It can be a very vicious circle for some. To those of you who read this and shake your heads, just feel lucky that you don’t have to suffer with this dreaded psychological condition that does not even yet have a name (but soon as they come up with one we will be having fundrasisers). My mission as the head of F.A.T.S.O, along with my friend Vinnie, is to try to give a bit of comfort to those who suffer and make them try to get out and truly enjoy the summer without the albatross of the sun setting earlier each day weighted heavily about their necks. We know it will be especially hard after this past winter and non-existent spring. One that tries the souls of even the heartiest new transplants. Psychologists, who are still grappling with this phenomenon themselves, have decided that right now the best way to tackle this whole issue is to make folks understand that not all days really seem as short as you think based on when the sun goes down. You can put yourself into the mindset in thinking about days, though short on daylight, seemed very long all the same. For example. How about the day before your colonoscopy? Even if it was in the middle of January your mind can go back and remember that it might well have been one of the longest days of your life. Then there is the few days after Christmas where those unwanted relatives decided to stay for an extra day or two. Those days will most likely be remembered as unending. There is always the day

Our Story

Bergdahl To the Editor: Everyone is happy that Sgt. Bergdahl has been released, assuming he regrets his desertion/defection and wishes to be a constructive US citizen. People object to the Bergdahl trade because it was done illegally, it broke a long established principle against negotiating with terrorists, it was a very bad deal, the President lied about it, and because it makes the world more dangerous. President Obama justified breaking the law, by not giving Congress the required 30 day notice of release of Guantanamo prisoners, because of Bergdahl’s health. That lie was quickly replaced with a lie that Bergdahl would be killed if the deal wasn’t done immediately. But, Bergdahl’s parents were told a month beforehand and there was enough time to tell Hillary. The inescapable conclusion is that Obama didn’t notify Congress because Congress previously objected to releasing Guantanamo prisoners and would have rejected this terrible trade. By negotiating with terrorists and releasing five extremely dangerous Taliban leaders, President Obama made hostage targets of every American. Terrorist leaders already say that they will be looking for more hostages to trade. The initial ransom demand for Bergdahl was

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.

under $100,000. Reports indicate that the administration rejected the idea of money for Bergdahl in January, apparently seeing a potential trade as an excuse for going against the wishes of Congress and the American people and releasing Guantanamo prisoners as President Obama wants to do. In any case releasing five terrorist commanders for one deserter is a terrible deal. This deal was reportedly opposed by the military and national security representatives. It was made without consulting allies in Afghanistan and elsewhere who will have to deal with the terrorism caused by these terrorist commanders. These terrorist commanders are a threat to Afghanis and peaceful people everywhere as well as to Americans. The deal for Bergdahl helped President Obama accomplish two of his objectives which are contrary to America’s best interests, the release of Guantanamo prisoners and reducing America’s influence by showing that America is not a reliable ally. The result is a much more dangerous world. Don Ewing Meredith, NH

Mount Paugus

From the Cabin Trail, a fine trailside view of the lower ledges on southwest face of Mount Paugus. From the AMC White Mountain Guide—because of its lumpy shape and scarred sides, a rugged and shaggy mountain, once aptly called “Old Shag,” Mount Paugus (3,198 feet), was named by Lucy Larcom for the Pequawket chief who led the Abenaki forces at the battle of Lovewell’s Pond near Fryburg, Maine, in 1725.

At 3/10th of a mile the Big Rock Cave Trail turns right off the Cabin Trail and continues to climb moderately for about a mile before crossing over the flat wooded summit of Mount Mexico and entering the Sandwich Range Wilderness.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 19, 2014

Gilford Author Publishes A History Of The Belknap Mill Later this month, Gilford author and historian Carol Lee Anderson will have her third book published with The History Press. The book, entitled A History of the Belknap Mill: The Pride of Laconia’s Industrial Heritage, will be released on June 24th. The Belknap Mill Society will be hosting the official book launch on July 11th, beginning at 6pm at the historic Belknap Mill, 25 Beacon Street East in Laconia. The event is free and open to the public. The publication follows the release of Anderson’s second book, The New England Life of Cartoonist Bob Montana: Beyond the Archie Comic Strip, which hit the shelves last fall. A History of the Belknap Mill took Anderson nearly a year to write and encompasses not only the mill’s history but also the industrial history of Laconia. Manchester businessman J. Paul Morin, whose great-grandfather J.P. Morin bought the Belknap Mill in 1913, penned the foreword to the book. Morin’s family owned and operated a hosiery business there for three generations, and he is the last of his generation to have first-hand experience with the family’s complex enterprise. Anderson worked closely with him as she conducted her research on the mill’s history. J.P. Morin was also highly involved in the establishment of Sacred Heart Parish and the construction of Laconia’s Sacred Heart Church. Being a Franco-American, he constantly searched for ways to ease his fellow immigrants’ assimilation into American society. Due to the extent of J. P. Morin’s contributions to life in Laconia, Anderson dedicated an entire chapter to the French-Canadian entrepreneur. The tale of this history

Math Is Math

For people who use the word “science” as a bludgeon and trumpet their s t r i c t commitby Rich Lowry ment to Syndicated Columnist fact and reason, the Obama administration and its supporters are strangely incapable of rational analysis of new climate-change regulations. President Barack Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency released draft rules earlier this month to create a vast new regulatory apparatus with no input from Congress -- in other words, to govern in its accustomed highhanded, undemocratic manner. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions from existing power plants, in particular coal-fired plants, to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The rhetoric has involved self-congratulation about how they are the inexorable result of taking climate science and the reality of dangerous global warming seriously. “Science is science,” President Obama said in an open-and-shut tautology about global warming during an interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman. By the same token, math is math, and the new regulations make no sense. While the regulations are stringent enough to impose real economic costs -- especially in states that produce coal or heavily use coal power, or whose economies have grown relatively robustly since 2005 -- they have almost no upside in fighting global warming. That’s because the U.S. is only part of the global carbon-emissions picture, and a diminishing one at that. We account for roughly a sixth of global emissions, and our emissions have fallen the See lowry on 26

Who’s Afraid Of Tom Tancredo? Panicked liberals and crony Republican elitists agree: Tom Tancredo would be bad for their Big Government and Big Busiby Michelle Malkin ness rackets. Syndicated Columnist That’s exactly why I support him in Colorado’s June 24 GOP primary election for governor. A fear-mongering ad campaign by the left-wing group “ProgressNow,” which is funded by billionaire George Soros, hyperventilated last week that “Tancredo believes Obamacare is a scam.” Gasp! “Scam” is putting it politely, of course. Billions of dollars have been wasted on defunct and dysfunctional Obamacare health exchanges. Criminals, illegal aliens and con artists have been hired as “navigators” to sign up Obamacare enrollees (a.k.a. future Democratic voters). And millions of Americans of all backgrounds, including my family, have had their plans canceled thanks to the costs and regulatory burdens of the law. Workers have seen their wages and hours cut; employers, especially small and familyowned businesses, have been forced to drop coverage. It’s absurd to call Tancredo’s dead-on diagnosis of Obamacare “radical.” But the pile-on against Tancredo isn’t just coming from out-of-touch Democrats. Here in Colorado, many corporatist Republicans who support the suicidal push for illegal alien amnesty claim Tancredo “can’t win” because his “divisive,” unrelenting stance on se-

curing America’s borders (gasp again!) will scare away Hispanic voters. This attack on Tancredo is nonsense on stilts. The latest Pew poll revealed this month that immigration policy doesn’t even rank among the top three concerns of Hispanic voters. Their top issues: education, jobs/economy and health care. A related Pew survey just reported that majorities of Hispanic and Asian-American voters both agree that another mass amnesty would reward illegal behavior and lead to more illegal immigration. Gasp! That’s exactly what Tancredo’s been saying for nearly 20 years. As he told me this week, “This primary battle for the Republican nomination for governor is shaping up to be a classic fight between the political elite and the rank-and-file conservatives in the party. The party bosses hate my candidacy because it represents a threat to their power and to the crony capitalists who want the government to supply them with cheap labor.” Bingo. Tancredo is a patriot who stands firmly in the mainstream -- and voters of all backgrounds, including hardworking, law-abiding Democrats and independents, stand with him on this. Standing with Facebook’s amnesty crusader Mark Zuckerberg, radical Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and the open-borders crowd looking to cash in at the expense of American workers is what’s truly fringe. In the bizarro worlds of both Soros-funded operatives and U.S. Chamber of Commercetypes, it’s somehow “far right” to advocate for the rule of law. These elites decry “fringe” conservatives like Tancredo and

Mid-East Meltdown; Iraq at the Brink? UNITED NATIONS—Like a swirling and malevolent desert sandstorm, an Islamic jihadi terrorist movement is sweepby John J. Metzler i n g a c r o s s Syndicated Columnist northern Iraq. With decisive speed, lightning gains, and sickening brutality the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has seized key cities and destabilized an ineffective government in Baghdad. Washington has been jarred by these events which portend ill for the survival of the Iraqi state. UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon stated forcefully, “Terrorism must not be allowed to succeed in undoing the path towards democracy in Iraq.” The UN Security Council “deplores in the strongest terms “ the widespread attacks against civilians, and the “recent terrorist attacks being perpetrated against the people of Iraq. ” UN sources say over 500,000 civilians, half of them children, have fled Mosul. The recent flare-up of fighting in Iraq mirrors sectarian rifts within Islam; namely the fragile ethno/ political fault-lines between the majority Shiite and minority Sunni Muslims. The combustible proximity of the two communities has seen frequent violence. In the month of May alone the UN reports that 800 civilians killed and

many more wounded in sectarian violence in the restive province of Anbar. Remember the blood and treasure the USA expended to stabilize bloody Anbar a decade ago? Many of the problems rest with the map; namely the Anglo/ French Sykes-Picot agreement of 1916 which redrew the post Ottoman map with artificial new borders. During the regime of Saddam Hussein the minority Sunni ruled the country with an iron fist. After Saddam was toppled by an Anglo/ American military operation in 2003, the balance shifted allowing the formerly disenfranchised Shiites to gain power through the ballot box which in turn soon alienated the Sunni. In other words, democracy came, but with unintended consequences. The formal pullout of American forces from Iraq in 2011, (forced by an bunch of venal politicians in Baghdad and a strategic myopia of the Obama Administration) reopened this Pandora’s box of ethnic rivalries, which are largely fed by an incompetent Shiite dominated central government, massive corruption, and simmering Sunni resentment. As importantly the near ambivalence that Washington has shown to developments in Iraq since the U.S. military pullout, has quietly encouraged the rebels morale, emboldened some of the clowns in the Iraqi government, and allowed for a dangerous political vacuum for ISIS terrorists.

Though the Al Qaida affiliated ISIS favors an Sunni dominated Islamic caliphate across the Middle East, like the Afghan Taliban its austere political philosophy has little appeal to the majority of Sunni Arabs. Thus brute terror

becomes its political calling card. The speed of gains have created a fear factor in which fragile Iraqi institutions and an essentially ineffective army have folded despite an advantage in numbers and

Amnesty Lite Is Still Amnesty Not since a 42-to-1 underdog named Buster Douglas knocked out undefeated heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in 1990 has there been by Thomas Sowell an upset like Syndicated Columnist economics professor Dave Brat defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary in Virginia. You couldn’t write a script like this for a movie and have it be believable. Congressman Eric Cantor, with all kinds of name recognition, and outspending his opponent by 5 million dollars to $100,000, lost 55 percent to 45 percent against somebody that virtually nobody ever heard of before. Polls, incidentally, had predicted that Cantor would defeat Brat 62 percent to 28 percent. To add a touch of absolute fantasy to the story, Dave Brat’s Democratic opponent this fall is another professor at the same Randolph-Macon College where Professor Brat teaches. Who would believe that in a movie? In the end, all of this will be just a curious footnote to what this election means to the Republican Party and -- more important -- to the country at large To those in the media who see everything as just a contest -- a “horse race,” as they say -- between different individuals and factions, this is being reported as a victory of the Tea Party over the Republican establishment. One of the encouraging things about Professor Brat is that he apparently does not see it that

way. He says that he is for the same principles as other Republicans, but that he believes in putting those principles into practice. Unlike those Republicans on either the establishment side or the Tea Party side who are preoccupied with their internal party battles, Dave Brat is focused on the issues confronting this country at a crucial juncture in history and with the immediate task of defeating the Democrats in this fall’s election. If this primary election defeat puts an end to cocky talk by Republican establishment leaders about crushing their Tea Party rivals, there may be some hope that they can spare some time to deal with the serious issues facing this country, rather than their own ego indulgences. A key issue in this campaign was amnesty for illegal immigrants. Apparently the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives -- which is to say, House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor -- thinks that amnesty is not amnesty if you call it “immigration reform” and toss in some fig-leaf requirements before the amnesty kicks in. Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed almost entirely in terms of what can be done to help those who have broken the law. Some want to help a little and some want to help a lot. But amnesty lite is still amnesty. Some people seem to think that amnesty is not amnesty if you throw in requirements for citizenship. Amnesty is not some esoteric concept. It means that you are not going to be punished for breaking the law -- and that simply brings laws into contempt. Denying citizenSee Sowell on 35

Get out the toolbox: identify and make repairs No need to completely remodel the bathroom, but make certain you fix the leaky faucet. Consider an inspection to identify potential problems to correct before they turn away prospects. Making small repairs to sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulk or chipped paint can create a better appearance, without breaking your budget. Install new hardware on kitchen cupboards or worn door handles to update the look. Create the “wowfactor” with curb appeal First impressions begin once people set their eyes on your home’s exterior view. Start by pulling

out your gardening gloves and clean up the landscaping. Keep the lawn tidy, trim hedges, pull weeds, clear out leaves and debris, and plant colorful flowers. Invest in exterior paint to touch up or freshen up your home’s exterior. The entryway sets the stage for the home, so make yours inviting. Place a new welcome mat outside your front door to greet visitors. Add a bold new entry door or storm door from Pella. The eye-appealing style and energysaving benefits plus Pella brand name will be an attractive perk to buyers. Spruce up your space: clean and declutter Clean homes attract buyers.

What Do I Do Now? by Steve White Contributing Writer

Y o u have witne ssed the fledging stage of your backyard birds. The babies have left the nest box on your property. You listened to our advice and placed it at the correct location, at the proper height. More importantly, the hole was facing in the right direction so that the prevailing New England winds didn’t create havoc with the eggs. Did you know that most cavity nesting birds have more than one brood each year? Would you like to see the same birds reuse your nest box immediately after the baby birds have “flown the coup?� Should you remove the old nest or leave it so that the adults do not waste energy building another one? What if the birds do not like you touching their home? If you do remove the nest, how can you be sure when to take action? What if the birds return and see an empty nest box? These are the most common questions our customers have in regards to bird houses or nest boxes, as we prefer to call them. Birds only use a box to lay eggs and raise the young. After baby birds leave the nest for the first time, they do not return. The nest box has accomplished its task. It is time for this box to assist the adults in another brood immediately after the fledgling stage has been completed. First, how do you know if the babies have left? If you have ever witnessed a nest in action, the activity of the parents raising

This week’s column answers your questions about what to do with those empty bird nests. and feeding the young is a constant, daily commotion. Every ten minutes or so, birds will be leaving and entering the hole. When the babies are big enough, the tiny heads will always be sticking out of the entrance. After the birds fledge, all activity around this nest box ceases to exist. The difference is very noticeable. You will know the day the nest is no longer being used. At this time, you should remove the old nest and properly dispose of it. Do not simply brush it to the ground as the birds will use the old material to build a second nest. Old nesting materials such as grasses contain mites and other harmful microbes that will harm newborn hatchlings. Farmers who store hay in barns have to be careful to rotate old stock with new to ensure that contamination does not occur for the same reason. Usually, most people can remove the first nest

around the end of June. Birds that started the first nesting at the beginning of spring are usually ready for the second nest building stage at that time. So, give your birds a helping hand now so you can relive the moment when new life emerges from your backyard. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

“The World is Less Violent�? Is This By design? Tanishq Abraham, a 10-yearold from Sacramento, California, began his homeschooling when he by Niel Young Advocates Columnist was seven years old and was one of the youngest Americans ever to be admitted to the high-IQ society MENSA when he was only four. Well, Tanishq just graduated high school at age 10. And the biggest hypocrite in America sent a congratulatory message. Yup, that would be Barack. Other pro-government pro-abortion crusaders are congresswomen Doris Matsui and Dianne Feinstein. What hypocrites! Not that Obama has feelings, but he must have been bleeped to show some interest in a HOME SCHOOLER ******** FRIEND KEN: I never did finish this book - I became unboundedly angry each time I tried to read it and eventually had to stop after a few chapters. I’ve read plenty about the book, and discussed it with a friend who read it as an assignment at a military college. I know how this story ends. The idea seems absurd that a Frenchman in the 1970s could have come so close to predicting the answer to the question: “Is liberal society too humane and compassionate to protect itself from those who would undermine and destroy it?� I would add to “humane� and “compassionate� the words “deeply stupid� and “full of selfhate.� One of the “enlightened� characters in the book suffers an end that I could wish

on a few of our Progressive politicians and pundits. But in the end they were - and we are - all screwed. ******** Mackubin Thomas Owens at nationalreview. com Camp of the Saints, 2014 Style?: I have not been much involved with the debate over immigration, mainly because there are so many others who know so much more about th e t o p ic than I. But the most recent affair involving the massive influx of unaccompanied children into the United States put me in mind of a novel I read long ago, one that seems to have been forgotten but needs to be reread: The Camp of the Saints, by the French writer Jean Raspail. William F. Buckley Jr. praised the book in 2004, but as far as I know, the only person to reference this book in connection with the current situation on the southern border of the United States has been Scott Johnson at the Power Line blog. Originally published in 1973 as Le Camp des saints, the book was translated into English in 1975 and distributed by Scribner. The theme of the book is based on a moral quandary: What steps will a liberal society take to preserve its way of life? Is liberal society too humane and compassionate to protect itself from those who would undermine and destroy it? ******** 12 Jun 2014 Obama: ‘The World Is Less Violent Than It Has Ever Been’ Debra Heine In response to ISIS Issues Rules for a New Islamic Caliphate: Meanwhile, on a different planet, the president told Tumblr

users, Wednesday, that the world has never been less violent or more tolerant than it is right now. You guys are fed a lot of cynicism every single day about how nothing works and big institutions stink and government is broken. And so you channel a lot of your passion and energy into various private endeavors. But this country has always been built both through an individual initiative, but also a sense of some common purpose. And if there’s one message I want to deliver to young people like a Tumblr audience is, don’t get cynical. Guard against cynicism. I mean, the truth of the matter is that for all the challenges we face, all the problems that we have, if you had to be -- if you had to choose any moment to be born in human history, not knowing what your position was going to be, who you were going to be, you’d choose this time. The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it’s ever been. It is more educated than it’s ever been. ******** And millions of people voted for this “man�? Does he consume a lot of brownies?

myself who believe it’s a fundamental duty of the government to protect the states from invasion. Yes, I said “invasion.� That’s straight from Article IV, section IV of the fringe document known as the U.S. Constitution. And what other word best describes what’s happening along the border, in the southwestern states and at military bases across the country this very moment? Long before so many Johnnies-come-lately started waking up to the dire national security, public safety, public health and economic threats posed by unbridled, uncontrolled immigration, Tom Tancredo was leading the fight on Capitol Hill. Karl Rove threatened him over his successful opposition to the ruinous Bush amnesty, telling him he’d “never darken the White House doorstep� again. Ahem, talk about “divisive.� Tancredo’s willingness to call out both establishment Republicans and Democrats when they’re leading us down the grim path of self-immolation is his greatest strength. And not just on immigration. Whether he’s defending the Second Amendment or the Tenth, whether he’s skewering political correctness, the “cult of multiculturalism� or

Common Core, or whether he’s defending property rights and entrepreneurs, he spares no one and pulls no punches. He doesn’t care a whit what the liberal media think. He does what he thinks is right, not what’s politically expedient. Many chin-pulling Republican bosses here in Colorado say Tom’s a “bomb-thrower.� What they mean is “unapologetic truth-teller.� And we need more like him in office, not the same old sycophants and milquetoasts who’d rather lose than be perceived as “lightning rods.� Instead of following the establishment GOP lemmings who credited President Obama with being a “nice guy,� for example, Tom bluntly said in 2010 that the corruptocrat in chief was “the greatest threat to our way of life.� That’s not so “radical� anymore considering Obama’s unleashing of five top Taliban commanders from Gitmo; wanton release of tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens; reckless inaction as scores of veterans died while his Veterans Affairs bureaucrats cooked the books; and callous dismissal of the bloodstained Fast and Furious and Benghazi scandals as “manufactured.� All of the GOP gubernatorial candidates in

Colorado would be better than job-sabotaging, rights-infringing Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper. But Tancredo is leading the pack in all of the polls. He has the strongest name recognition and grassroots following. And he’s got all the right enemies. What sets Tom apart is his lifelong independence and his proven record of bucking establishment politics. Nobody ever will accuse him of straddling the fence, sugarcoating his message or selling out. No wonder the powers that be in the bipartisan halls of power are scared.

DEAR MARCUS: You haven’t heard about any strange crop circles in your neighborhood or the open range near you, have you? On a more serious note, I think your cracked fence posts can be traced to one of the following: wind, animal scratching or mischievous teenagers bored with cow tipping. My money would be on strong winds. The photo of your fence tells the tale in my opinion. You’d be stunned at the amount of force the wind

DEAR TIM: I’ve got a 5-foot 6-inch tall wood privacy fence with very little gap between the vertical wood pieces. When I built the fence I used four-by-four posts in between the wood panels. The posts were buried 2 feet down and surrounded by concrete. I come home from work or wake up and my fence is leaning. At this point I’ve replaced 15 of the original 37 posts because they’ve cracked. What’s going on and how do I stop the posts from cracking? --Marcus P., Golden, Colorado

This appears to be a sturdy fence, but looks can be deceiving. You’d be stunned how much pressure a strong gust of wind can create on a solid fence. can place on the side of a building or a solid fence like yours. To experience this, all you have to do is try to hold up a single piece of plywood in the breeze. I’ve been blown over before trying to carry sheets of plywood on windy days. I would also wager that the 15 posts you had to replace were doomed from the start because they were installed such that the wood grain’s weakest face was aimed at the wind.

ball. The same thing is true with wood fence posts. The grain lines you see at the ends of the posts should be oriented at 90 degrees to the fence line direction. The concrete surrounding the posts might also be contributing to the post failure. The stiff concrete at the ground level doesn’t offer any pressure release and allows the posts to snap just as you might crack a dry twig in your hands. I maintain that fence posts should be set in crushed stone, not conSee building on 18

crete. The stone will provide good drainage and allow the posts to give ever so slightly in high wind situations. If the fence tilts after a windstorm, you can replumb the fence posts with minimal effort by digging out some of the stone on the one side of the post. I’m sure you’ve had your fill of breaking out the concrete so you can reset your new posts. That’s very hard work. I did it one time and swore I’d discover a better way. For decades I’ve set fence posts in crushed stone and they perform quite well. Farmers and ranchers typically set their fence posts in compacted soil, and it’s not uncommon for livestock to rub against their fence posts. You can also switch to larger fence posts to see if that helps. The only issue I can see is a six-bysix post might not look right and could appear to be too massive. On the

other hand, they could look very handsome. You can soften the appearance of the sixby-six posts by clipping each of the four corners at a 45-degree angle. This requires you to put them through a table saw or use a circular saw to make these modest cuts. Try doing this on a short piece of six-by-six post to see if you like the look. You only need to cut in just 3/4 inch from each corner to make a distinctive chamfered edge. Realize that not all wooden fence posts are equal when it comes to strength. There’s a vast difference in bending and cracking resistance across wood species. Douglas fir, oak and No. 1 southern yellow pine are some very strong wood species that you should be able to locate with minimal effort. Cedar posts, while very attractive, are not as strong as you might think. The lighter-colored spring wood in cedar

typically has a somewhat open cellular structure, and as a result it’s just not very strong when you stack it up against the beefy species I mentioned above. To verify you’re making the right choices, it might be a good idea for you to contact at least two fence companies in your area that advertise they install solid wood fences. Ask to speak with the owner or the manager that is in charge of all installations. A great company that’s been in business for decades will usually offer five minutes of their time to you. All you want to ask them are four questions after showing them photos of your fence: What is the wood species they would use? What size would the fence post be? How deep should the post be buried? Is crushed stone a good fill material? Need an answer? All of Tim’s past columns are archived for FREE at www.AsktheBuilder.com.

nonstop, winning the $25,000 Orteig Prize offered for the first to make the transatlantic flight, city to city, nonstop. After being feted in London, Paris, and other European capitals, meeting heads of state and royalty, Lindbergh headed home on a US Navy cruiser, the USS Memphis, sent to bring him home in style.

Long Island, he flew to Hartford, then to Providence, and on to Boston. July 23 was designated as the day to visit Portland, Maine, but after circling in fog for over two hours, he was forced to fly back inland to avoid the fog and find a place to land for the night. Bob Fogg’s airport at Concord, NH was the choice. Lindbergh landed there unannounced at 5:30 p.m., having been in the air for five hours trying to complete a flight that should have taken only about 90 minutes. That night he was the guest of Col. Charles H. Mason, director of the 322nd Observation Squadron of the army air reserves, at his home at Farrington’s Corner, between Concord and Dunbarton. He tipped the cook a $2.50 gold piece which she treasured for many years. Next day he flew back to Portland, which was still foggy, finally landing at Old Orchard Beach and driving to the city to make his appearance. The day after that, on July 25, he took off from the hard-packed sands of the beach, landed briefly in Portland. He was to appear in Concord later that day, but according See lindbergh on 23

to his own notes, he took the scenic route, flying over South Poland, Maine, across the state line into New Hampshire’s White Mountains, including Mount Hope, located at the southern end of Crawford Notch, then down over Lake Winnipesaukee on his way to Concord. There is no record of anyone spotting the famous craft as it winged its way over the big lake, escorted by a Fairchild support aircraft, but if anyone had been looking at the right moment, they would have had a story to tell for the rest of their life. He landed in Concord at 1:22 p.m., and was escorted into the city by a parade, stopping at the State Hospital, Centennial Home for the Aged, Memorial Hospital, Pillsbury Hospital, and other state buildings, greeting veterans, sick children, and a reported 40,000 of the excited population of the city, before retiring to rest at the Eagle Hotel, across from the State House. There was a banquet for Lindy and 1300 of his new best friends at the Bektash Temple that evening. “Lindy” also flew over Manchester, Lebanon, Claremont, and Keene on his way towards his next stop in Vermont, and earlier had flown over Nashua on his way from Boston to

Portland. He completed the tour of all 48 states, as well as several Latin American nations, in his historic airplane, which was then donated to the Smithsonian. Bob Fogg continued to operate at Concord airport and at the Weirs Seaplane Base on Lake Winnipesaukee through the late 1930s, and he crossed paths with Lindbergh at least one other time. In the spring of 1928, the first east-west nonstop flight across the Atlantic was completed by a German Junkers airplane named the “Bremen,” which landed in a remote area of Newfoundland,

and Bob was one of several pilots hired by competing news organizations to fly the cameramen to the spot to get newsreel film of the plane and its crew. When pilot Floyd Bennett fell ill with pneumonia

raced north from New York with serum, which unfortunately did not save Bennett’s life. However, it did provide an occasion for Bob Fogg to again meet and be photographed with his more famous fellow pilot.

In a short time I realized that every water bar I had stepped over had been cleared and now I was encountering fresh woodchips along side fresh cut logs that up until recently had been nasty trail blocking blow downs.

I thanked my lucky stars that the Wonalancet Out Door Club trail tenders had been here. As I hiked higher and reached the point where the trail passes under a ledge and follows closely along a ledge wall that it may have been nearly impassable without the trail crew’s rugged efforts. Considering this is a trail that is in a Wilderness Area, it was reasonable to

follow because there are just enough faded blue blazes left where they are needed (rarely the case in Wilderness Areas where taxpayers have paid to have blazes removed from trees, no joke) and a few well placed small rock cairns allowed me to keep moving confidently on the trail.

This was the only place there was a decent breeze to cool my head and to keep the bugs from attacking full force. I scurried down to check out the ledges that earned Mount Paugus a spot on the famous “52 with a View” hiking list. So many mountains all around, the valley below and I could see all the way to the Lakes Region. This was a good place to recharge my batteries before my assault on Paugus’ true summit.

mill from 7

throughout several chapters, featuring an interview with Save the Mills and Belknap Mill Society founder, Peter Karagianis. Anderson conducted additional interviews with Dr. Richard Candee, an architectural historian who helped those who saved the mill from demolition during urban renewal. One of the things that most surprised Anderson was that the Belknap Mill’s history did not include the same type of stories that are associated with mills in larger cities - tales that describe challenging working conditions and the poor treatment of operatives. Presented in an easy-to-read

Carol Anderson style, the book encourages readers to enjoy discovering the unique history of the Belknap Mill and the little-known facts about Laconia’s industrial history. Anderson is also the au-

thor of the award-winning, The History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Mountains, published by The History Press in 2011. For more information, visit CarolLeeAnderson. com.

ship is not a punishment because crossing the border illegally does not entitle you to citizenship. Providing a legal status short of citizenship is not punishment either. There is no requirement for either amnesty or for citizenship that President Obama cannot ignore or dilute unilaterally, as he has ignored or diluted existing immigration laws, as well as other laws. Barack Obama is the biggest reason to pass no immigration “reform” laws until after he is gone. It doesn’t matter what immigration policies you believe in if you don’t control your borders -and the vast numbers of minors flooding across our borders today show that the Obama administration has no intention of controlling the borders. They are more concerned with controlling the border guards and ordering them not to take pictures that show the public what is happening.

If you are serious about controlling the borders, then you pass laws to control the borders first. Some years later, after you can see whether the border has been controlled or not -- you can start discussing what our national immigration laws should be. Otherwise, “comprehensive” immigration reform means granting some form of amnesty up front and promising to control the border later. How many more times are we going to fall for that bait and switch fraud? Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

material. ISIS is composed of an internationale of Islamic extremists not only from the Middle East but from Western Europe, Chechens, and even some Americans. As with their gains in neighboring Syria fighting both the Damascus dictatorship as well as many of the rebel groups as well, ISIS has created an aura of political inevitability. Though the northern city of Mosul has fallen and much of the Sunni strongholds of Anbar province has come under the ISIS sway, the

group will not likely spread into the Kurdish lands nor the major Shiite population centers in the south. What can happen is a renewed civil war. Lightning gains by ISIS can face lightning setbacks with focused force as we saw in Mali in 2012 when a similar Islamic Al Qaida affiliate swept across large swaths of the West African state only to be routed by a lethal French counterattack. Yet, the Nouri Al-Malaki government in Baghdad refused to allow a small American residual force to remain in Iraq for precisely this type of contingency

and to offer a psychological boost. I’m sure a few battalions of U.S. Marines could decisively defeat the ISIS which are few in numbers. But that option is off the table by Baghdad’s choice. The fulcrum of power could tip against the government. Glaringly these unfolding events in Iraq portend ill for Afghanistan where a politically-driven pullout of American forces could create a similar situation in a few years. This is exactly why the Obama Administration must negotiate a serious status of forces agreement with the new Kabul govern-
