Susie Burke At Rochester Opera House Sing, clap and interact with musician and teacher Susie Burke when she engages children with a performance that is entertaining and educational at the Rochester Opera House on Wednesday, July 11, at 10am. Children are encouraged to participate with singing, clapping, movement games and call-and-response. Burke incorporates themes of friendship, the environment and sense of self into her songs that encourage thoughtfulness with other children and in day-to-day life. Pack your picnic basket, bring along a blanket. The floor is down and the orchestra seats are removed, so there’s lots of room for dancing and singing along during the show. Susie Burke, one of New England’s finest children’s performers, has also built a devoted following on the regional and national folk circuits. Burke has released five recordings, including a duo with David Surette “When the Small Birds Sweetly Sing.” Her recording “Sweet Potatoes,” featuring a chorus of seven children, has become a household favorite with both parents and children. Tickets are $5 and are available at the ROH box office on Monday and Wednesday from 12-5 and one hour before the show. Please visit www.rochesteroperahouse.com or call the box office (335-1992) for more information on the Summer Picnic Series and Summer Theatre Camp.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 28, 2012

Supporting Forrester To The Editor: When news that PSNH was proposing and promoting the construction of a 180 mile long high voltage electric transmission corridor (Northern Pass) through the center of New Hampshire from Pittsburg to Deerfield, residents throughout the state – and especially in towns directly impacted – examined the proposal and quickly formed strong and widespread opposition to the plan. Concerned citizens turned to their respective representatives in state legislature and to the Governor for help. Despite the fact that New Hampshire has one of the largest representative bodies of government in the Englishspeaking world, the lack of response and engagement from the Governor, House, and Senate was disheartening at best. There have been a few exceptions and among them is Senator Jeanie Forrester. That Senator Forrester demon-

strated her commitment to her constituents early on in the process is a testament to her willingness to stand for the people of New Hampshire despite the power and wealth of those individuals and entities invested in the Project. Senator Forrester worked diligently to protect New Hampshire residents by co-sponsoring HB648 which prevents developers of privately funded projects – such as Northern Pass – from being able to petition the state to use Eminent Domain to take private land for commercial development. And, in looking at the proposed massive towers and lines envisioned along the 180mile corridor through the state, Senator Forrester sponsored SB361 which is a forward-looking, modern-era view to energy transmission which establishes a commission to study the use of existing transportation corridors for the burial of energy supply lines. Both of these important pieces of legislation have now been signed

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its

into law. Throughout her first term, Jeanie has been attentive, accessible, and responsive—not only to constituents in District 2, but also to all the citizens. She exemplifies the qualities and commitment that all of us should expect in those that serve. In a world where many of us can feel so disconnected and disenfranchised with our political leaders, Jeanie is a refreshing change. Jeanie has earned our respect and support as we remember her courage in standing alone among her peers against the Project before the political winds blew in a more favorable direction. Please join me in giving Senator Jeanie Forrester the opportunity for a second term of service to the citizens of Senate District 2 – and to our great state. Let’s keep Jeanie.

Guinta Misunderstands To The Editor: In his latest newsletter, Frank Guinta congratulated himself on his “victory� over “competition-destroying� Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) because the US Labor Dept. withdrew the PLA requirement for the Manchester Job Corps Center. He claims it isn’t about “union-bashing� but about “fairness.� This is false on both counts, and NH workers and taxpayers will be paying the price, literally, for the loss of this PLA. Mr. Guinta misunderstands or distorts what PLAs are and why they are used. Bizarrely, he claims that “PLAs divert limited taxpayer dollars away from funding for important projects.� The best source, a May 2011 Cornell University study defines a PLA as a “comSee mail boat on 26

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

I Know You! A f t e r twentys e v e n years of l i v i n g in New Hampshire, I by Brendan Smith s o m e Weirs Times Editor times forget that I’m not originally from here. As some of you may know, I am was born and raised on Long Island, New York. I was, and still am, what natives here call a “Flatlander.� When I first started these columns seventeen years ago, they were all about being a Flatlander and adjusting to life here in Central New Hampshire. Believe me, I had plenty of experiences to share. It took me a lot of getting used to. I don’t talk about that too much anymore, the longer I live here the more I became acclimated and I have found other things to make fun of and sometimes forget my roots. But then summertime rolls around and the people from my homeland begin to filter in to start their vacations here in the beautiful Lakes Region and, once again, I remember where I once was and how I used to be. It took me awhile to break away from those survival techniques that were inherited from growing up in a city or suburban atmosphere and I see and sympathize, to a certain extent, when I see it in droves here in the summer. So, at the peril of offending some of those who are here to enjoy a refreshing week’s vacation, I realize that it is almost impossible to change years of important survival habits in a few days, but I have some suggestions anyway.

First off, when you arrive and go to the supermarket to fill up for your week’s stay at your beautiful lakefront abode, take an extra couple of seconds to put your shopping cart in the corral. It really won’t hurt and you’ll still get to your place of relaxation with plenty of time to spare. And, if it matters, you free up some parking spaces for others just like you who are also arriving. My next suggestion, and this is a big one. After you arrive here and you are settled in and ready to relax..then actually RELAX! Cutting people off in traffic, rushing to beat that next person to the supermarket checkout, getting short with the waitstaff because you are in a hurry to get your check so you can rush to your next relaxing thing, are all counter productive. You might actually be more tired at the end of the week than when you started. I understand it all. I was there once. I spent hours stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway. I cursed those who had eleven items at the ten items or less checkout at Waldbaum’s. I know it will be hard, after all, it took me YEARS to shake these things off myself. But here is something to consider. More and more people, Flatlanders like myself, have moved and settled to New Hampshire over the years. More and more of the “natives� that you interact with are really

“us.â€? We were once you. So, when you see the guy with the New Hampshire plates in front of you, moseying down the road or the lady holding up the checkout line chatting with the clerk about the weather or even the waitress, possibly a teacher on summer hiatus, who does her best to smile back at you though her old New York instincts push her otherwise, just remember; they may have been you at one time. The odds are really good that they’ve been where you are, lived where you lived, felt the stress and took a big chance moving to that place where the pace was a little slower, money was a little tighter and attitude can’t get you a ham sandwich. They’ve got your number. I know it will be hard, and I understand. Still, the next time you are speeding past that slow car with New Hampshire plates to get to your next destination, see if you can catch a glimpse of the driver. You just might remember them travelling next to you at a snail’s pace in a traffic jam on the Long Island Expressway a few years ago. So, now that you are here relax‌and have fun. Happy to have you here.

As mentioned here and several times during my radio program over the years, principle has caused me to inform an old friend that I will not be part of the campaign team. I have been, and will continue to speak out re: my dissatisfaction of GOP Elites (in their mind), RINOs, GOP opportunists, and Moderates, which equals Liberals to me. Now you know why my name is never mentioned for any leadership role! Well, it was once or twice, but I reminded folks that it would be a mistake. Politics is such a mess. After reading that Republicans for Lynch, Joel Maiola, Bernie Streeter and Griffin Dalianis who worked against my candidate and friend Republican John Stephen in 2010 to elect a Liberal Democrat I, as a Republican, was outraged. What did the 3 Amigos have against a fellow Republican? As the NH Union Leader

The Coming DNC Disaster

Russian Reset, Part II WASHINGTON

-- According to press reports from sycophants in the mainstream media, Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin had a productive, 2-hour, by Oliver North private meeting Syndicated Columnist of the minds during this week’s G-20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico. Don’t believe it. The Obama-Putin meeting did indeed last two hours. And when it was over, the two leaders actually stood on the same platform where they read from prepared statements -- and parted with the obligatory handshake after just 11 minutes -- without taking questions from reporters. It’s the shortest U.S.-Russian bilateral press availability since Mikhail Gorbachev walked out on Ronald Reagan in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 1986. Putin took three minutes to tell

the assembled Fourth Estate that they had discussed “security,” “economic relations” and “the Syrian affair.” He also expressed thanks for the “support rendered to Russia with our accession to the World Trade Organization” and his hope this will somehow “promote the creation of jobs in both countries.” He made no mention of Iranian aspirations to acquire nuclear weapons or Russian threats to veto United Nations sanctions against Iran and Syria. As we have come to expect, our president took more than twice as long to say little more. Obama asserted that the two leaders had “a candid, thoughtful and thorough conversation on a whole range of bilateral and international issues,” including, inter alia, “the new START Treaty” the WTO, “a range of strategic issues, including missile defense” and “the Northern Distribution Network that is vital to providing supplies and resources to our brave See north on 41

There aren’t Greek columns tall or wide enough to camouflage Barack Obama’s impending North Carolina catastrophe. In by Michelle Malkin S e p t e m b e r , Syndicated Columnist the campaigner-in-chief will travel to Charlotte for his party’s presidential nominating convention. For once, the incurable jetsetter may wish he had stayed home. Obama’s stage managers envision a triumphant, unifying coronation reminiscent of their 2008 DNC production in Denver. But the southern swing state is turning into a Democratic disaster zone. Start with the North Carolina Democratic Party. At the state party convention last week, Obama for America was AWOL. The glaring absence of high-level national Obama surrogates was noted “as odd,” according to the Charlotte News and Observer. There’s good reason to steer clear. The party is embroiled in a sordid sex scandal that won’t go away. Earlier this year, former party communications staffer Adriadn Ortega, 26, accused former NCDP executive director Jay Parmley of repeated sexual harassment and physical groping. Documents leaked to the conservative Daily Caller news site revealed a hushhush financial settlement involving the two men. Ortega was fired; Parmley resigned; state Democrats went into panic mode. “If this hits the media, the Democratic Party, our candidates and our credibility are doomed in this election,” a local candidate complained to NCDP chairman David Parker. A defiant Parker

resisted statewide calls (including a desperate request from outgoing Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue) to resign. Ortega filed a defamation suit against Parker and the NCDP last week. The White House, which has trumpeted its stand against workplace harassment, has been mute on the story. Other Democrats are boycotting North Carolina to avoid an entirely different taint: the scandalplagued president himself. By TheDaily.com’s count, at least seven Democratic officials will skip Obama-palooza: New York Democratic Reps. Bill Owens and Kathy Hochul; Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Mark Critz; three endangered Democratic politicians from West Virginia, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Sen. Joe Manchin, and Rep. Nick Rahall; and Utah Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson. The Democratic boycotters have dinged Obama on everything from his election-year illegal alien amnesty power grab to his failed jobs programs to his destructive war on coal. While “Forward!” may be the official Obama campaign slogan, “Back Away!” is quickly becoming the dissenting Democrats’ rallying cry. Moderate Democrats aren’t the only ones refusing to put on the party hats and sing “Kumbaya.” North Carolina is riling Obama’s left flank, too. And national media outlets are noticing. In a piece on the DNC “going awry,” Bloomberg News reported: “Voters just approved a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, which conflicts with Obama’s view on the issue. Convention fundraising has been slow, and labor unions tapped to fill the financial gap are angry the convention will be in a city -- Charlotte -- with no unionized hotels and in a state where compulsory union

Falkland Islands Road Show Comes to UN UNITED NATIONS—The

Falkland Island Road Show has come to the United Nations, with all the political trappings by John J. Metzler of drama, hySyndicated Columnist per-nationalism, and selfrighteous moralizing. The focus remains on the future of this windswept British territory in the South Atlantic claimed by, and also once invaded by, neighboring Argentina. Now thirty years after the end of the bitter but brief Falklands war, the political players are posturing, happily not on naval vessels in the South Atlantic but in the quiet and sleepy chambers of the UN’s Decolonization Committee alongside the East River. And as they have since the 1980’s the Argentines have pressed, with significant Latin American cheerleading, to resolve this unresolved “colonial issue,” while the British simply restate the obvious; the Falklands remain a self-governing territory. At the time of the 1982 invasion, Argentina was run by a military junta who unwisely played the nationalism card and seized the islands 300 miles off the coast of South America. The Argentine generals figured this would be an easy win and a political boost for a teetering government. They

picked on the wrong guy, or in this case woman, and soon Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government struck back with resolute fury; a Royal Navy task force was assembled from 8,000 miles away and recaptured the atoll. Today the salvos are not lethal but rhetorical. President Christina Fernandez Kirchner and her entourage descended upon New York on “Tango 01” to bring a high profile political road show to a normally somnolent UN committee. An impassioned plea by President Kirchner, demanded diplomatic discussions with Britain on the future of the Malvinas. Regarding the “Question of the Malvinas Islands,” a consensus resolution backed by Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela along with Chile states that “the only way to put an end this special and particular situation is a negotiated settlement of the dispute existing between the governments of the two countries and requests the parties to consolidate the process of dialogue and cooperation.” Chile’s Vice Foreign Minister Fernando Schmidt advised the committee, “For the Latin American and Caribbean nations, it is important for the question of the Malvinas Islands to be settled once and for all.” Later comments from the sublime to the ridiculous saw Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, Mainland

China, Nicaragua and Syria speak in support of Argentina’s position. But is there more than bruised nationalism? Sovereignty over the Falklands, and the farther away South Georgia and South Sandwich islands and the surrounding maritime exclusive economic zones would allow Argentina access to huge maritime fishing rights as well as potentially rich petroleum resources. The Falkland Islands are home to 3,000 islanders who resolutely wish to remain British; the islands remain a self-governing British territory with their own constitution, flag and Anglo traditions, which have nothing to do with Argentina. The British stress there was no displaced in-

digenous population, nor did an assimilated population come to speak English after the British seized the largely uninhabited islands in 1833. Relative proximity of the rocky island atoll to the Argentine mainland (about 300 miles) does not, a case of sovereignty make. If one considers so many geographical anomalies; the Channel Islands a stone’s throw off the coast of Normandy in France, remain British though here with a very strong French cultural/linguistic influence. Or the ethnically divided Mediterranean island of Cyprus, where two very distinct ethnic and linguistic communities live in separation. But belongs neither to Greece nor Turkey.

The Immigration Ploy President Obama’s latest political ploy -granting new “rights” out of thin air, by Executive Order, to illegal immigrants who claim that they by Thomas Sowell were brought Syndicated Columnist into the country when they were children -- is all too typical of his short-run approach to the country’s long-run problems. Whatever the merits or demerits of the Obama immigration policy, his Executive Order is good only as long as he remains president, which may be only a matter of months after this year’s election. People cannot plan their lives on the basis of laws that can suddenly appear, and then suddenly disappear, in less than a year. To come forward today and claim the protection of the Obama Executive Order is to declare publicly and officially that your parents entered the country illegally. How that may be viewed by some later administration is anybody’s guess. Employers likewise cannot rely on policies that may be here today and gone tomorrow, whether these are temporary tax rates designed to look good at election time or temporary immigration

policies that can backfire later if employers get accused of hiring illegal immigrants. Why hire someone, and invest time and money in training them, if you may be forced to fire them before a year has passed? Kicking the can down the road is one of the favorite exercises in Washington. But neither in the economy nor in their personal lives can people make plans and commitments on the basis of government policies that suddenly appear and suddenly disappear. Like so many other Obama ploys, his immigration ploy is not meant to help the country, but to help Obama. This is all about getting the Hispanic vote this November. The principle involved -- keeping children from being hurt by actions over which they had no control -- is one already advanced by Senator Marco Rubio, who may well end up as Governor Romney’s vice-presidential running mate. The Obama Executive Order, which suddenly popped up like a rabbit out of a magician’s hat, steals some of Senator Rubio’s thunder, so it is clever politics. But clever politics is what has gotten this country into so much trouble, not only as regards immigration but also as regards the economy and the dangerous international situation. See Sowell on 26

Extraordinary Nurses Recognized At Frisbie Memorial Hospital Nurses at Frisbie Memorial Hospital are being honored with “The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.” The Award, presented in collaboration with The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) is part of the DAISY Foundation's program to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. Frisbie Memorial announced today June’s DAISY Award recipient as LeeAnn Cole, RN, who was nominated by Ashley MacIver, RN. Here’s what Ashley had to say about LeeAnn: “LeeAnn has that friendly face and attitude about her that makes, even the most nerve-racking situation, a little more comfortable. Throughout my orientation and over the last year, LeeAnn has amazed me: With her calming and caring attitude, she uplifts her patients' worst days, gives encouragement to patients and staff when the goinggets-tough, and is one of the most trusted and competent nurses I know. I believe she deserves the Daisy Award because she gives everything she can and helps whenever she can. It is time for us to show her our appreciation, and there is no better way than the Daisy Award. LeeAnn is a nurse

With summer underway, it’s time to start thinking about beach days, boating trips, and fun in the sun! There’s no reason we can’t enjoy all of those things that come along with the summer sun, but we must take some important precautions to protect ourselves from the damage it can cause.

protect your eyes from dangerous UV rays and help to reduce your risk of developing cataracts. Look for sunglasses that block for UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound sunglasses offer the best protection from rays that might get in from the side.

Sun Safety

Choose a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, which offers you approximately 90 percent sun protection. Remember to reapply sunscreen frequently (at least every 2 hours), especially if you are sweating or swimming. Waterproof formulas are helpful, but not foolproof. If you are at the beach,

The sun is at its strongest from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. If you can avoid the sun during these hours, it is best to do so. However, if you are outside, wear protective clothing, including a hat, and always wear sunscreen! And, don’t forget your sunglasses. Sunglasses

are the most important for us and that cannot be missed. Goal setting provides focus and direction and is a great tool to measure our success and our progress. Without goals we don’t really know if we are going in the right direction. Have you thought about what you want to be doing in the five years time? Do you know what your goals at work and at home are? If you are not satisfied with your current situation without goals you will not be able to change anything. What would it mean to you to be happy? Be as concrete as you can. Goals, no matter how big or how small allow us to take the first step toward desired direction. Next important skill is prioritization. It is an essential tool to make best of the time that we have. I always encourage my clients to evaluate how

Modern Argentina is a democracy which sadly still suffers from the economic undertow of state socialism, endemic strikes, and the political afterglow of the Peron era. Still Christine FernandezKirchner’s government knows how to grandstand and playing the Falkland/ Malvinas card works well politically back in Buenos Aires. As the Buenos Aires Herald columnist Martin Gambarotta added editorially, “The President’s taste for the spectacular, if anything, has forced Britain to hit back with some rhetorical fireworks

of its own.” Indeed Britain has announced that the Falkland Islanders (all 1,600 voters among them) will hold a referendum on their status next year. But as Mike Summers, a Member of the Legislative Assembly told the UN that “unwelcome and unsubstantiated claim on our country by Argentina remains and is pursued with increasing vigor.” He added, “Falkland Islanders are comfortable with our-post colonial relationship with the UK. We have the right to move away from that relationship if we so wish.” Summers, a sixth gen-

eration islander, warned that “Argentina might like to air-brush us out of existence.” Not likely, but the Falklands/Malvinas present an emotional and nationalistic rallying point to escalate political tensions in South America.

jumbo Gulf shrimp. We sold our 5th wheel last month. We paid off the mortgage on our house and we are living debt free once again. We have been blessed to find a beautiful resort community we can actually afford, an adorable house, and wonderful friends and neighbors. It is a time in our lives for new beginnings‌and for endings, too. This is my last column. There isn’t a family in this country that this recession hasn’t impacted. We are no exception. Part of the reason is financial‌ but it’s mostly because we have gotten “sand in our shoesâ€? and Florida has truly become home. Oh‌but wasn’t it a great ride? Didn’t we have fun? We traveled many roads you and I. We have practically grown up together. In the weekly chronicles of this column the Bairds have grown from a young family, to middle-aged, to grandparenthood; to retirement and geezer-hood: the time in our lives when we self-medicate on all things chocolate because we can‌(it’s our drug of choice)‌and because doctors now say it’s good for old people. I’ve selfmedicated a lot this week trying to think of how to say goodbye. The place to begin is with a grateful heart. I am thankful to the Lawton family. They have not only signed over a great deal of paychecks

to me over the years, but as I’ve told Bob Lawton many times, “Thank you for helping to make all my dreams come true.â€? And I want to thank all of you who have read my column faithfully; who have read it once in a while; and even those few grammarians who contacted me to endeavor to convey the wisdom of not polluting the English language with colloquialisms; quips, and downright disregard for all things grammatically correct‌including the run-on sentence. As you can see, it didn’t work. I am incorrigible like that. I want to thank my family for willingly - and sometimes unwillingly - providing much of the fodder for grinding out a column every week since 1992 for the Times (and before that, for UpBeat.) You have been more than “good sportsâ€?‌you have been magnificently supportive. I remember a column when I wrote about our son Scott totaling his first car. It was the only time he was upset with me; I could poke fun at our family situations, but sacred ground is sacred ground: “Mom, you went too far this time. It was my CAR. I loved that car!â€? I know he did‌he slept with its bumper for a week. And speaking of families‌nobody’s is perfect, least of all ours. Have

The Last Dance To me, the Gulf of Mexico is the Atlantic Ocean’s laidback little sister. The Atlantic roars into by Lorrie Baird shore; the Gulf kisses it. The Atlantic wears a salty, tangy perfume that whets the appetite for all things shellfish, while the Gulf’s scent is subtle. I pondered these things as we sat on the sugar sands of Caladesi Island following a lively paddle across the Intracoastal Waterway with the Kayak Club. We paddled tandem. Jim had my back‌as he’s always had throughout our 46year marriage. We were supposed to stay together in a tight pack but the current was strong and when the wind hit us broadside we drifted away from the others. Everybody else was paddling together. We were crossing the Intracoastal on our own in spite of our efforts to rejoin the group. And so it was‌the perfect metaphor of how our retirement adventures have been since Jim drew his last corporate paycheck. As we sat on the beach on a 90-degree day made comfortable with a gusty onshore wind, we discussed how at home we are in Florida. Who would have thought it five years ago when Jim retired and our ten-year-plan was to travel the country in our RV? Then the recession clipped our wings in more ways than one. When Jim lost his job last year in New Hampshire it ended our return to the Lakes Region for the summer. So it’s like this: when life hands you lemons, squeeze ‘em on lots of

Seacoast Pond Enthusiasts Hosting Water Garden Tours Summer is here! The Seacoast Water Garden Club is hosting its 7th annual pond tour this summer! The tour will run on consecutive Sundays from June 24th through August 12th each Sunday from 12 Noon until 4PM, (except for July 8th-no tour) one or two ponds are open for public viewing. The ponds are in both Maine and New Hampshire. We anticipate a wonderful collection of water gardens this year, ranging from small backyard sanctuaries to a large property with 13 ponds! Each garden offers a unique example of how a water garden can be created to fit almost any situation. The Club is comprised simply of area people who, as Booker Nevius from the Water Garden Department at Wentworth Greenhouses says, “Love their pond or would love to have a pond�! In 2006, Karen Kiokemeister of York had a new pond built and wanted to share it with

others. With Booker’s help, she gathered together 12 pond owners and launched the first tour. Since then, we have met many wonderful people who share this wonderful hobby! Each year we have a blend of new ponds and veteran ponds to enjoy. It is always fun to see what changes the veterans have made! We invite you to participate in any or all of these

Sunday journeys. The full tour schedule will be available soon online at www.seacoastwatergarden.org. Contact Bonnie at 603557-2606 for more information. A donation of $2.50 per person per pond is appreciated. All proceeds are given to the York Center For Wildlife www.yorkcenterforwildlife.org.

Laconia Historical & Museum Society Recognizes Revolutionary War Soldier The anniversary of the Battle at Bunker Hill– Laconia Historical and Museum Society recognized Samuel Jewett who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Battle of Bunker Hill occurred during the Siege of Boston early in the American Revolutionary War. While working on the transcription project for the Day Book of Jeremiah Smith Jewett which was released in print in August, 2011, Brenda Polidoro discovered that there was a Laconia Resident who fought in that Battle. Samuel Jewett – Grandfather to Jeremiah Smith Jewett. In Mr. Jewett’s journal he makes the following recollection: “We went up into the Bunker Hill Monument. The ground about the Monument is enclosed by a high iron fence around the base of the hill upon the summit of which towers aloft the granite sphere that marks the spot where our Fore-Fathers fought to gain that liberty, which we this day enjoy. “Samuel Jewett (My Grandfather) was stationed at Cambridge previous to the battle of Bunker hill and had been sick with rheumatism for several days, but when the morning of the memorable 17th broke upon the soldiers and the roar of cannon sounded in their ears, Grandfather’s sickness left him and he with other brave men marched to the field of battle. “Samuel Jewett was born in Hollis, New Hampshire, Jan. 1st 1755 and died at Gilford, N.H. (Now Laconia) Dec 17th 1838. He was a brave soldier and as firm a supporter of liberty in its darkest hours as New Hampshire ever raised, and long and dear may his memory be cherished by his descendents.”

to say that a piece of our hearts will always remain there. My Jewett family heritage is deeply rooted in the birthing of Laconia. We miss lakes that actually look like lakes and not overgrown puddles. We miss the beautiful mountains and the frothy sass of the Atlantic Ocean. I’ve gotta be honest here: we don’t miss the unpredictable weather, the long winters, the biting cold and mosquitoes as big as helicopters.

This season Gareau has earned the NH Arborist Certification. The New Hampshire Arborists Association, known as the NHAA, tests and certifies arborists in New Hampshire. Arborist certification establishes a standard of quality in arboricultural work and improves the knowledge and skills of practicing NH arborists. Gareau met the qualifications and exam eligibility requirements and proceeded to earn his NH Arborist Certification, gaining additional knowledge in critical areas of landscape trees and shrub care. Those areas include diagnosis and treatment, proper pruning and management techniques along with identifying and selecting appropriate species for unique applications. Gareau is well versed in tree and shrub installation, establishment, and after-care and maintains a thorough an understanding of important soil and water relationships. BLC Tree Service crews, led by Gareau, recognize tree hazards, construction damage, provide solutions to preserve the aesthetic and ecological value of large Lakes Region plantings. Gareau was hired in May of 2006 after graduating from Paul Smith’s College (New York) with a Bachelor’s Degree in Forest Rec-

reation Resource Management. His home at the time was Morristown, NY and he relocated to the Lakes Region upon his college graduation, currently residing in Gilmanton, NH. “This is a great example the commitment Belknap Landscape makes to our clients and

employees - to provide the very best landcare solutions though educational investments and by providing the correct equipment.” said BLC marketing manager Dale Squires. Gareau can quickly identify poorly maintained trees and avoid significant liabilities. Pruning or removing trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work and should be completed only by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.” Belknap Landscape Company is a Lakes Region eco-friendly business, family owned since 1988.

IMPROVE, PROTECT, BEAUTIFY Let The Howland Team Do It For You!

When the new, and perhaps short-lived, immigration policy is looked at in terms of how it can be administered, it makes even less sense. While this policy is rationalized in terms of children, those who invoke it are likely to do so as adults. How do you check someone’s claim that he was brought into the country illegally when he was a child? If Obama gets reelected, it is very unlikely that illegal immigrants will really have to prove anything. The administration can simply choose not to enforce that provision, as so many other immigration laws are unenforced in the Obama administration. If Obama does not get reelected, then it may not matter anyway, when his Executive Order can be gone after he is gone. Ultimately, it does not matter what immigration policy this country has, if it cannot control its own borders. Whoever wants to come, and who has the chutzpah, will come. And the fact that they come across the Mexican border does not mean that they are all Mexicans. They can just as easily be terrorists from the Middle East. Only after the border is

controlled can any immigration policy matter be seriously considered, and options weighed through the normal Constitutional process of Congressional hearings, debate and legislation, rather than by Presidential short-cuts. Not only is border control fundamental, what is also fundamental is the principle that immigration policy does not exist to accommodate foreigners but to protect Americans -and the American culture that has made this the world’s richest, freest and most powerful nation for more than a century. No nation can absorb unlimited numbers of people from another culture without jeopardizing its own culture. In the 19th and early 20th century, America could absorb millions of immigrants who came here to become Americans. But the situation is entirely different today, when group separatism, resentment and polarization are being promoted by both the education system and politicians.

prehensive, uniform labor agreement—a ‘job-site constitution’—that standardizes contract terms among various crafts for the duration of a project.� How could such a project framework “divert funds’? In fact, by standardizing contract terms with various crafts, PLAs achieve significant cost savings. Any contractor (non-union or union) can bid on a project. PLAs promote job stability and productivity by banning strikes, coordinating work schedules, mandating skilled, well-trained workers, and requiring a common contract expiration date. Shame on Mr. Guinta for pushing, at taxpayer expense, to inflate the profits of contract bidders (whose constructionindustry lobby contributes to his campaign). The Cornell study reminds us, “It is the public interest—not the business interest of individual contractors—that is to be protected by securing, through fair and open bidding, the best work for the money� (p.3). Guinta forgets—public office is a public trust. He continues to abuse that trust! Herb Moyer Exeter, NH

membership or the payment of dues is prohibited as an employment condition.” Thousands of anarchists, socialists and professional agitators also plan on protesting in Charlotte. After giving Mr. Hollow Hope and Change a first-term pass, self-declared progressives can’t ignore Team Obama’s in-your-face decision to deliver his presidential nomination acceptance speech at bailed-out Bank of America Stadium. As I’ve reported previously: --The financially troubled bank snagged a middle-ofthe-night, taxpayer-funded $45 billion banking bailout in 2008 and an estimated $931 billion in secret federal emergency loans. --In 2008, B of A’s political action committee gave its biggest contributions to Obama totaling $421,000. --After purchasing junk

mortgage company Countrywide, BofA agreed to pay $50 million in restitution payments for Countrywide subprime loan fraudster and Democratic fat cat Angelo Mozilo and one of his underlings. Disgruntled leftists. Disgruntled centrists. Disgruntled unions. Disgruntled corporate donors. Sexual harassment scandal. Fundraising woes. And to top it all off: unrepentant class-warfare hypocrisy packaged as “The People’s Convention” and brought to you by Bank of America. The DNC promises to be a public relations nightmare for Obama’s optics geniuses. Too bad he can’t send his autopen instead.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, June 28, 2012

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

On Banning Football Longtime Sports Illustrated writer and PBS contributor Frank Deford has a new book out titled “Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter.� It’s a great book, with 46 snappy chapters touching on a wide range of topics. Deford’s 50 years in the business gives him plenty of grist for the sportswriting mill. The narrative is both funny and candid and is a must-read for thoughtful sports fans. One could develop a column on any of the “Over Time� chapters, but I do want to react to Deford’s concerns about football, which echo those of a growing number of activists who want to change, curtail, or even do away with our gridiron game. Rush Limbaugh has been warning of a growing anti-football movement in our country, and he’s on to something. Despite extraordinarily high television ratings, pro football and big time college football are the subjects of virulent antipathy from many quarters. Pro football is too violent, many say, as is college and high school football, which also siphon off resources that could be used for other sports or endeavors. It’s also too male for our modern times. The sizeable anti-football crowd out there understands that the sport can’t be eliminated in the short term. But football can be countered incrementally, starting on the social front. Stereotyping of football players is nothing new. “Why did the football hero flunk his American

Literature Exam?� (He thought Moby Dick was a kind of venereal disease.) “Why did the Nebraska linebacker steal a police car?� (He saw “911� on the side and thought it was a Porsche.) Football players are fair game to make fun of, in ways that other populations are not. Demeaning the intelligence of gridsters is part of the social strategy of the anti-footballers to diminish the game. They also have a legal strategy, and Title IX is but one arrow in their quiver. You can be sure that Title IX was a big reason that places like Boston University have dropped football. But much as the liberals tried to use health care as a way to advance a broader social and political agenda, the anti-footballers are using health issues to chip away at the gridiron game. A June 7 Thomson Reuters news story noted that more than 2,000 former NFL players have joined forces in a lawsuit alleging the

league deliberately and fraudulently concealed from players the risk of brain injury from playing professional football. The master complaint joins together more than 80 lawsuits previously filed by former players on a topic that has generated increasing concern following the suicides of former players such as Pro Bowl linebacker Junior Seau. News flash! People can get hurt playing football! Who knew? Well, everyone knew. But the NFL is awash with TV money and lawyers are doing what lawyers do. “The NFL has long made player safety a priority and continues to do so. Any allegation that the NFL sought to mislead players has no merit,� the National Football League responded in a statement. While the anti-footballers can’t eliminate the sport in the short term, they are having success in diminishing it and changing it. Expect more See moffett on 38

The Sandwich Historical Society’s Transportation Museum Open For Season The Sandwich Historical Society has announced that the Quimby Barn, and the Society’s Transportation Museum which it houses, is now open for the season. Come by and see the Sandwich Historical Society’s extensive collection of horse-drawn vehicles from centuries past, including wagons, chaises, hearses, snow equipment, delivery carts, and the Town of Sandwich’s 1850 Concord Coach. Open from 10am-4pm. The Quimby Barn was constructed in the late 1800’s and is the last remaining structure from the homestead of a local doctor, Charles White. After a fire destroyed the main buildings of the homestead in the early 1900’s, the barn came into use as an educational facility for the adjacent Quimby School, which served as the Sandwich high school through the middle portion of the 20th century. In the barn, students learned cooking, housekeeping, farming, woodworking, ironworking, plumbing, and furniture repair. In 1964, the Quimby Barn was sold to the Sandwich

party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be an atheist, would you vote for that person?” Fifty-four percent of respondents said, yes, they would vote for an atheist for president if their party nominated one. Fortythree percent said they would not. The willingness of Americans to elect an atheist president has increased dramatically over the last six decades. In 1958, when Gallup first asked about an atheist presidential candidate, only 18 percent said they would vote for one, while 75 percent said they would not. Now that is interesting news, and here I thought Christianity played a major role – well heck – the first Thanksgiving! The atheist Republican presidential candidate would find that Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, New York, Nevada, and California might just provide the Electoral College votes they need to win. ******** These quotes from one of favorite reporters when she was covering Laconia news, Anne Marie Timmons (Concord Monitor): Organizers stressed the event was to be a discussion, not a debate, but Lamontagne sparked a passionate disagreement when he said a married, heterosexual couple was best suited for raising a

proposals to do away with punt returns, for example. This is not to say that football rules shouldn’t be reviewed. Over 100 years ago President Teddy Roosevelt threatened to outlaw football, due to the carnage then occurring. One year 18 players were killed playing the sport. The result was the formation of what became the NCAA. Sure, let’s rethink any or all of the rules, but let’s be honest about the true intentions of lawyers and anti-football activists who cite the dangers of football violence. How about emphasizing more personal responsibility, as opposed to pursuing dubious lawsuits? I just have a hard time picturing people like Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis as victims. (Oh yeah. Most sporting goods companies have gotten out of the business of manufacturing football equipment due to legal concerns. More victories for the anti-footballers.) Football isn’t my fa-

vorite sport, but the growing anti-football movement, with all its activists, lawyers, hand-wringers, and know-it-alls troubles me. If they prevail in their efforts, then we’ll have less football – and less freedom – and we’ll all be the poorer for it. Born Today ... That is to say, sports figures born on June 28 include NFL quarterback John Elway (1960), basketball guard Bobby Hurley (1971), and NFL running back Karim Abdul-Jabaar (1974).

troops who are still in Afghanistan.� Notably, neither head of state mentioned how the collapse of U.S.-Pakistani discussions on reopening Afghanistan-Pakistan border-crossing points means that Moscow now has exclusive control over what NATO troops and supplies get into or out of Afghanistan. In the months ahead, we should expect the “transit fees� that Russia charges to become tantamount to extortion. Nor did either president mention intense Russian efforts to have convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout repatriated from the U.S. where he is serving a 25-year prison sentence. Perhaps that’s because they didn’t want to reveal a linkage on these issues. On Syria, Obama claimed: “We agreed that we need to see a cessation of the violence, that a political process has to be created to prevent civil war...� And remarkably, he declared: “We agreed that there is still time and space to resolve diplomatically the issue of Iran’s potential development of nuclear weapons...� The Russian president mentioned no such agreements on Syria or Iran. Nor are any such agreements likely. Putin knows, if our president does not, that civil war is already underway in Syria. The Russians are well aware that the only hope for retaining their Mediterranean naval base at Tartus, Syria, is to keep Bashar Assad in power -- no matter how much Syrian blood is shed. While the American and Russian presidents were pretending to make nice in Mexico, two Russian Navy amphibious assault

ships with a battalion of naval infantry -- Russian Marines -- were en route to Tartus. Putin knew that -- he ordered the deployment before leaving Moscow for Mexico. If Obama didn’t know that, he should have. And then there is the trivial matter of what Russia and the United States agree on regarding Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. Obama continues to spin the naive fiction that diplomacy and sanctions will somehow convince Tehran to abandon their quest to build atomic bombs. Putin did not even mention the issue. By the time Putin was standing beside Obama in Los Cabos, the Russian president had to know that diplomatic efforts to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons were dead. By early Monday morning in Mexico, representatives of the “six powers� -- China, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the U.S. -- meeting with the Iranians in Moscow were informing their various foreign ministries that Tehran would not agree to any demands on ceasing uranium enrichment. The Moscow “talks� with Iran formally ended on Tuesday, when the Iranians walked out. But the O-team had already granted waivers from the next round of sanctions against purchasers of Iranian oil. We’re now told we should place our hope for a change in Tehran’s nuclear aspirations on technical talks to be held next month in Istanbul, Turkey. Rather than dissemble about nonexistent U.S.-Russian agreements on Syria or Iranian nukes, Vladimir Putin chose not to even mention

them. Either Obama didn’t know about Russian troops on the way to Syria and the collapse of the Moscow talks with Iran or he lied. No matter which, it’s unacceptable.

The Kelly Miller Circus is the only circus that still has the tradition of doing a tent raising for the public when they roll into town. Circus from 42

by 24 hours will have already marked out the area to be covered by the big tent and the location of each truck and trailer that needs to be parked. As each vehicle comes to a halt the driver and passengers will go to the their assigned departments, and as if by magic, the scene becomes one of organized confusion as Circus Day begins. Circus setup begins with giant piledrivers, mounted on the rear of trucks, pounding the four foot long stakes into the ground around the perimeter of the Big Top. Meanwhile, the more than 100 poles which support the Big Top are placed on the ground within the oval. A steady stream of vehicles roll onto the lot and they are positioned and unloaded. After the tent

These ponderous beasts are moved to the tent area to help with the erection of the Big Top. Beginning at one end of the tent, workers push up the outside row of supporting poles on each side, while an elephant is used to pull up the second row. The last row of poles are pushed or pulled into the air by elephants while workingmen tie them off. Even while the last rows of po l e s a r e be i n g po s i tioned, crews of workers pour into the tent to begin “stuffing” which is erecting lights, seats, ring curb, aerial equipment and other props and equipment required See circus on 43

for the presentation of the Circus. It is quite a sight to see. There is no charge to watch the set up and a tour guide is on duty to answer questions Founded during The Depression in 1938 by Obert Miller and his sons Kelly and Dores, this traditional tented circus still offers the same fam-

ily entertainment it first presented 74 years ago. While the show in 1938 was little more than the Miller family, some ponies, and a couple of monkeys, they still moved about the country, as they do today, in trucks and went through the same routine each day of setting up and giving performances in a new town The Kelly Miller Cir-

cus is now owned and operated by John Ringling North II, son of the famous John Ringling North (who was the owner of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus from 1937 to 1943 and from 1947 to 1967).

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be prepared to face some challenges stirred up by an envious colleague. Your best defense is the Arian’s innate honesty. Stick with the truth, and you’ll come out ahead. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your sensitivity to the needs of others is admirable. But be careful to avoid those who would take unfair advantage of your good nature, especially where money is involved. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Having an optimistic attitude is fine, as far as it goes. But don’t be lulled into a false sense of confidence. There are still problems to deal with before you can totally relax. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel somewhat “crabby,” as you fuss over plans that don’t seem to work out. Maybe you’re trying too hard. Ease up and let things happen without forcing them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Heed that keen Leonine instinct. It’s trying to tell you

The Lost Bayou Ramblers At The Inn On Main — Thursday, July 12th at 8pm —

WOLFEBORO-The Inn on Main and the Top of the Hill Music Series presents the Lost Bayou Ramblers on Thursday, July 12th. Doors open for dinner at 6pm and the show starts at 8pm. If you thought you knew the Lost Bayou Ramblers’ music, guess again. The Lafayette, Louisiana, band, who earned a 2007 Grammy nomination for their “Live: À la Blue Moon” album, have made marked creative strides on their sixth studio album, “Mammoth Waltz,” on their own indie Bayou Perdu label, produced by their newest member, Korey Richey [GIVERS], at the famed Dockside Studios in Maurice, LA. “We wanted to play the music that we love, and what represents us as a band,” says singer/fiddle player Louis Michot about the new album. With an eclectic cast of cameos which includes actresses Scarlett Johansson and Nora Arnezeder, the Violent Femmes’ Gordon Gano, fellow Lafayette, LA, band GIVERS’ vocalist/guitarist Taylor Guarisco and drummer Kirby Campbell as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and

The Lost Bayou Ramblers bring their new rock edge sound to The Inn On Main in Wolfeboro on Thursday, July 12th at 8pm. legendary New Orleans icon Dr. John, Mammoth Waltz takes the Lost Bayou Ramblers out of their niche and into the larger realm of rock and roll. The band was formed a decade ago by brothers Louis and Andre Michot, who grew up playing with their father and uncles, an eccentric Cajun family of musi-

cians. With the addition of drummer Pauly Deathwish and bassist ATAP, and more electric guitar from Carruth the Lost Bayou Ramblers now sport a rock edge to their traditional sound, particularly on new songs like the rousing, Clash-meets-Pogues “Bastille,” the hard-edged, nasty title track and the punkabilly swing of “Carolina Blues.”

“Our music was always pointing in this direction,” adds Cavan. “The live shows were always more raucous and dynamic.” “What the songs and melodies mean to me is so deep and so beautiful, it’s natural to let it breathe,” explains Louis, “We believe our new sound is borderless, and we are excited to share it.” Louis points to the song, “Coteau Guidry,” about the joys of hanging out at his pal Guidry’s home, located on a “coteau,” an old bank of the now-dry part of the Mississippi River that is the only elevated ridge in the area. “It’s symbolic to what we’re doing,” he says, “climbing up that hill, continuing to get higher and higher.” With “Mammoth Waltz,” the Lost Bayou Ramblers have staked their ground. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased online, by phone, or in person at The Inn on Main, www.innnewhampshire.com, 603-569-1335 or Folk Cellar, Sandy Martin Gallery in Wolfeboro.
