Funspot Begins Its 61st Year With Ribbon Cutting Celebration by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

in 1964 when he and his brother John, who joined Bob in the business, expanded it to its present Route 3 location. John Lawton passed away in 2003. The ribbon cutting was preceded by a ceremony where Bob took to the podium and told the crowd of his journey over the past 60 years. Born in Ohio, Bob and John moved to Lowell,

Mass, after their parents divorced. They lived with their grandparents, Dennis and Mary Long and their mother Doris, who also had a home in the Weirs. They came to love the area and never left. In 1952, at the age of 21 years, Bob borrowed $750 from his grandmother to start an indoor mini-golf with a few games on the second floor See funspot on 14

As anyone in business knows, starting one is never easy. Being around after ten years is an accomplishment, twenty years a true milestone, fifty years amazing and sixty years just off the charts. The Funspot Family Entertainment Center in the Weirs fits into the “off the

charts” category. Opened as The Weirs Sports Center in 1952 by Bob Lawton the world famous facility, recently recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest arcade in the world, celebrated its 60th anniversary on June 27th. Bob Lawton, surrounded by his children, grandchildren and nephews, cut the ribbon at the same spot he cut it

Owner and general manager, Bob Lawton, cuts the ribbon at the original entrance to the Funspot Family Entertainment Center to celebrate 60 years. In 1952, Bob, along with his late brother John, began what is today, the largest arcade in the world. With Bob are (l to r) Nephews Randy and Steve Lawton, daughter Sandra Lawton, son Dave Lawton, Funspot manager Gary Vincent, grand-nephew Jules Lawton, granddaughter Starr Lawton and daughter Donna Carlucci.

The new Marine Exhibit at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro features this display of the uniform of Rene Gagnon of Manchester, New Hampshire who was one of the Marines to raise the flag at Iwo Jima.

Wright Museum Always Changing In Telling Story of World War II At Home & Abroad by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

This Sunday, July 8th, the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will be holding their annual Family Day. This annual event goes from 11am to 3pm and includes rides in authentic World War II vehicles, uniformed reenactors, Rosie The Riveter, a family style cook out and live music. It is also a great opportunity to tour this fascinating museum which focuses on both the War Front and the Home Front during World War II. In fact, even if you’ve been to the Wright Museum before, things are always changing inside and there is always something new to see. This 33,000 square foot World War II museum will literally take you hours to peruse as each section offers so much and new exhibits are always being developed. The largest and most popular attraction is the display of World War II vehicles, including a Sherman Tank,

one of the most ubiquitous tanks of the war and the most popular among visitors as many can relate it to a family member who fought in one. The fifteen vehicles in the Wright Museum’s collection, with new ones added over time, are rotated every thirty to forty days to keep the display new and interesting even to the visitor who has been there before. Some of these vehicles are used during the Family Day event to give rides to the public. A new addition to the vehicle room is a 1924 Model-T snowmobile

which is claimed to be the first snowmobile model in the United States. The Wright Museum focuses on both the Home and War fronts since, as noted by museum board member, John Warner: “You can’t tell one story without the other.” The Home Front display is the only one of its kind in the United States. Within it you get a true feel of what is was like to be doing your part as a civilian for the war effort. It also just gives a great feel for life in general at the time.

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

An Upset Veteran To The Editor: First off, I am a disabled veteran. In regards to the letter in the 6/7 issue of the Weirs Times and Cocheco Times, his first mistake as to Boston being the closest VA Hospital is wrong. There in one in Manchester, NH. There are others across the state such as Littleton Hospital in Littleton. In Vermont there is a good one in White River Junction and another health care in Brattleboro, Vt. You can call 1-866-687-8387 or 1-866-OURVETS toll free for free rides (pick up and bring back home) or cell phone 866-687-8387. So much for that issue. Any questions call my cell phone at 603-348-3691. Now for my problem with the veterans system. I do live in NH but I go to the VA in White River since 1985. In my own opinion, it is the best VA Hospital in all of New England. I have been to most of them. My only problem with the VA system is White River proved me 100% disabled since 1985 and several times since then. In 1990, I was diagnosed with M.S. and could no longer work. Lucky me? No. Manchester, NH says No! Because I live in nH, Vermont doctors cannot judge my disability. I have appealed all of Manchester’s decisions from day one. I was told to get a lawyer and none could be found. Thanks to these idiots in Manchester I lost ev-

eryhting except a 1986 Pontiac that needs repairs done. We lost our land, house and items we could not take. I was able to get a storage shed to keep some things in. I lived in a campground last month and my wife and I got soaked when it rained. My credit was ruined because I helped people who said that they would give it back. But guess what? Sorry sucker. I still help people who need it, but who will help me? No one! We are now eating canned food only. No more camping. We sleep in the car, wash up in a brook or lake. Who cares? No one! My wife is legally blind and gets no help either. The last two weeks of each month we have to stay where we are. Why? Can’t buy gas or anything else. So as you can see we could use some help to get our life back. For more information call my cell phone at 1-603-3483691 or write me, Roland Baillargeon, PO Box 70, Woodsville, NH. 03758. Thank you from one upset veteran Roland Baillargeon Woodsville, NH.

Law unconstitutional, the Obama administration ordered its immigration authorities not to accept inquiries about a person’s immigration status from Arizona unless the inquiry related to a felony. In addition, attempting to intimidate Arizona law enforcement, the Obama administration set up a hotline for people to report alleged racial profiling by Arizona police asking about their immigration status. If, unknown to Arizona police, the person legitimately stopped has murdered someone in another state, the Obama administration will not take the phone call and the person will most likely be released. If unknown to the Arizona police, the person is a known terrorist on his way to California, Washington DC, New Hampshire, or someplace else, the Obama administration will not take the call and the terrorist may be set free to harm Americans. If unknown to Arizona law enforcement, the person is a rapist, child molester, robber, other violent criminal, or has killed someone drunk driving, the Obama administration will not take the call. If the person is taking a job that one of America’s 25 million un- or under-employed wants, or if the person is taking welfare, food stamps, or other social services provided to help fellow American citizens in need, the Obama administration won’t take the call.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Training Hard In a few weeks the Summer O l y m pics will be held in London and I by Brendan Smith have been Weirs Times Editor getting ready. It’s not only the athletes who are competing who have to train. We here at home who plan on watching and supporting our competitors have to get ready as well. It can be a grueling process and many times during the course of getting ready you may just find yourself at your wits end, depleted, not ready to go that extra mile. You think to yourself: “I’ll never be ready to watch the Olympics� and give up; surrendering yourself to watching another marathon of “The Matrix� movies on AMC instead. I know how that is; I have been there myself. But I have also come to realize how important it is to carry on and go that extra mile and finish my training. After all, the athletes do it for us, why can’t we do it for them. The first step in my training, or any training to watch the Olympics, is to practice sitting in front of the television for hours on end. To some, this is natural and easy, but, unfortunately, these are not usually the ones who like to watch the Olympics in the first place. Such a waste of talent. I, for one, have a hard time sitting in front of the TV for more than a half-hour or so at a time, so training to watch the Olympics can be grueling. I will usually start on a Sunday morning and sit in front of the network talk shows where people from Washington discuss the week’s events. Watch-

ing a couple of hours of this gets me ready for viewing some of my least favorite Olympic events like Fencing and Handball. Training early on a Sunday morning for something I will be doing evenings can be hard. Especially the consumption of bags of Cheetos and cans of Lite Beer before lunchtime. Still, again, there are people who can do these things every day but, sadly, wasted talent again. Sitting and watching for hours is the most physical part of this training, but there is a lot of emotional training to do as well. As you know, getting ready can be more of a mental game than a physical one. I know that the networks showing the Olympics are going to do their best with the excessive amount of time they have where nothing is actually happening, to give us profiles of the athletes and their stories that will be designed to tug at our heart strings. If you aren’t prepared for this, especially you men, you may find yourself losing control and blubbering like a newborn all over your Cheetos and Lite Beer. “Billy Smith was born color blind but he never let that keep him from his dream of winning an Olympic Gold for Badminton. Overcoming his

embarrassment at showing up at the court wearing brown while his teammates wore red, many believe Billy would never make it.� Then there will be five or ten minutes of interviews of Billy’s family and friends talking about his struggles while sappy music plays over videos of Billy first showing up in brown and eventually figuring out the red uniform. Finally, you will have Billy himself, in extreme close-up tears in his eyes, telling how he is now so proud to be at the Olympics and representing the “Red, White and Green.� It will be hard to hold back the tears, but if you prepare yourself mentally, and a few hours of Hallmark Channel movies, you’ll at least be able to keep your snacks and beverages dry. There is a lot more to training, but I only have so much space to write. You can always order my video “Training To Watch The Olympics on TV In Only 30 Minutes A Day.� It is filled with lots of other great techniques that I wouldn’t tell you here anyway, then you wouldn’t buy the DVD. I hope this has been helpful. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at brendan@weirs.com.

Meet The PET OF THE WEEK Say Hello to DIVER

What’s a handsome dog like Diver doing at New Hampshire Humane Society? Diver was acquired per the Last Will and Testament of his owner, now passed away. Sadly, the home he thought he was going to live out the rest of his days in decided he should come to NHHS instead. Diver is then, a liƩle older than the average dog, a liƩle sturdier, a liƩle more world wizened than other canines here. He is wondering what happened to his life but is making the best of the situaƟon. He hasn’t ever lived with children so we have that proviso for his ideal home, but he seems amenable around other creatures he has met at the shelter. Please come and see Diver, take him for a walk on our trail system, you will fall in love. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org.

Two Horses Looking For Homes at Live and Let Live Farm Koda is around 12 years old, an Appaloosa-Arabian cross with gorgeous blue eyes, +/- 14.3 hands. He is curious and friendly (and loves having his picture taken--we have a great close-up of his nose, too!), has good ground manners, and is ride-able but would do best with an experienced, confident rider. He had some riding training in the past but with harsh handling. Koda is very social and loves playing with other horses. He is looking for his forever home that can help him become the great partner he is waiting to be. When Lilly arrived at the farm January 2011, she was so dehydrated, starved and emaciated that she could barely stand up. Her mane and forelock were so full of burrs, they were just one giant mat. Her teeth were worn down from chewing on rocks to get needed minerals. We weren’t sure she was even going to make it. But now she is healthy and happy and enjoys relaxing in the sun. One of our volunteers has been working consistently with Lilly and has discovered she is a wonderful pony! She has been rid-

After riding through Les Gorges D’Ardeche we visited the medieval village of d’Aigueze (Gard). Most villages have a public fountain offering potable water for thirsty visitors. Back in April when Kris found out that Wes and Linda were going to meet our German friends in France to ride bicycles she insisted that we tag along. I was easily persuaded. We would make our Tour de France on some of the actual routes of the Tour de France I confess I was so busy with work and some projects that I didn’t help one bit to plan this adventure. Kris and I arrived in Marseille three days prior to meeting our friends. Marseille is the second largest city in France and on our first afternoon we walked all over the city and around the Vieux Port. I don’t like cities and this one is especially loud and under construction 24 hours a day. The boats in the port were nice to see and we even checked out the green and white

striped marble Cathedral de la Major. At the Tourism Office we learned how to get to the Massif de Calanque, mountains that go straight down to the Mediterranean’s green-blue water. We were told to take the subway, rather than a bus, and then walk and hike and we would see the mountains and hike to the peaks and then down to the sea. Then the helpful public servant added “and then you will swim and then you will be tired and then you will cry that you have to hike back up to the top.” We laughed at his seriousness. We had the best hike and we did all he said except of course we didn’t cry; we couldn’t have been happier. Our next day we took the train to AIX-en-Provence, a truly lovely city with a statue or a mossy fountain at every intersection,

beautiful people and it was so quiet. We didn’t return to Marseille until very late and on the train station’s marble deck there appeared to be a flash mob dancing the Tango. The music and the dancers created a dreamy scene about the lights of the city. Finally I find a place to dance the Tango and my dear husband wasn’t with me. We took an early train to Avignon and there was the bridge half way across the Rhone that I’d learned to sing about way back in high school. At the Tourism Office we learned we were too late for the winery tours. Kris wanted to go wine tasting very badly and we ended up hiring a private car and guide. This was one of the best decisions we made, we were well taken care of for seven hours! Not only See patenaude on 42

Team Obama’s Brother Sharpton Moment

Decision Time WASHINGTON -It’s been a week of big decisions in our nation’s capital. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 verdict on Obamacare was the biggest story by Oliver North for politicians, Syndicated Columnist pundits and the so-called mainstream media. That the justices reaffirmed the constitutional authority of Congress to levy taxes -- even when the tax is called a “mandate” -- should not have surprised anyone. The secondplace decision of the week was the unprecedented 255-67 vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for his unwillingness to respond to congressional subpoenas for information on the Obama administration’s notorious “Fast and Furious” gunrunning scheme.

Both of those decisions will provide countless hours of debate, commentary and fuel for political fundraising over the next four months. Though neither matter will be completely resolved until after Americans go to the polls Nov. 6, at least the Supreme Court and the House of Representatives have proved that they can make decisions -- and we know how they were made. Though the Supremes always debate in private, their determination is explained in depth -- and by reading their decision, we know the thinking of each member of the court. The House debate and vote on holding Holder in contempt was conducted in the open for all to see. The American people now can weigh where they stand on those decisions and decide for themselves whether they agree and, in the case of Congress, whether they want to return or replace their representatives. But we still don’t know how decisions are See north on 40

Attorney General Eric Holder’s people have no shame. After months of stonewalling, misinformation and petulant disregard by Michelle Malkin for the victims Syndicated Columnist of the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal, President Obama’s Justice Department is hiding behind the most despicable race-card demagogues on the planet. “Post-racial” America never looked so bitter, clingy and cowardly. At a Tuesday press conference in Washington, D.C., human shield Al Sharpton condemned the upcoming House vote on a contempt motion against Holder as “reckless” and “morally reprehensible.” Yes, the infamous hate-crimes hoaxer, cop-basher and riot incitement specialist is now the self-appointed sheriff of Capitol Hill morality. A Huffington Post report hyping Sharpton’s protection racket decried the contempt citation as an “assault on minority rights.” In typical race-baiting style, Sharpton told the leftwing website: “I’m not saying that this is because Holder is black, and I’m not calling (Republicans) racists. I’m saying what they’re doing has a racial effect.” Of course Sharpton’s accusing Republicans of racism -- and by extension, he’s smearing every American demanding truth and justice in Obama’s bloodiest scandal. That includes the family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, whose December 2011 death came at the hands of a Mexican thug wielding a Fast and Furious weapon. What about the Mexican government officials

left in the dark about the deadly operation? And the hundreds of families of Mexican victims of Fast and Furious-enabled bloodshed? Yes, yes, they are all racists and minority vote suppression advocates, too. Sharpton forged ahead, comparing the effort to hold Holder accountable for his serial delays and deception to racial profiling. The race-hustling reverend invoked driving-while-black imagery in lambasting the Republican oversight staffers who have “stopped and frisked” Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, “without probable cause” to be “made an example of.” While he regurgitated DOJ talking points about Holder’s “unprecedented” level of cooperation, Sharpton neglected to mention that the agency has delivered less than 8 percent of the 80,000 documents sought by congressional investigators. He forgot to acknowledge that of the 70 DOJ officials involved in Fast and Furious, 48 have been blocked by DOJ from testifying. He failed to detail the withdrawn Feb. 4, 2011, letter to Congress falsely denying the existence of Fast and Furious, Holder’s flip-flops over what he knew and when, and Holder’s blame-shifting assertion, withdrawn last week, that falsely accused former Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasey of being briefed on a separate gunwalking operation. Lest we forget, the White House’s racial guardian and MSNBC host is the same bigoted clown who manufactured the Tawana Brawley fake hate crime and tried to frame police officers, railed against “Chinamen,” “Greek homos” and “n****rs,” inveighed against Jewish “diamond merchants,” and stoked black mobs at white-owned Fred-

Syria Si, Syria No! UNITED NAT I O N S — A s

the carnage against civilians continues across Syria, there’s a compelling humanitarian by John J. Metzler case for interSyndicated Columnist national intervention to stop the violence which has killed more than 10,000 civilians. Yet, what started as a political uprising against the authoritarian rule of Bashar Assad sixteen months ago, has morphed into a complex conflict which borders on civil war but now threatens to involve regional states. Predictably with the conflict at boiling point, there are calls for foreign intervention especially as media images of civilian massacres by the regime fuel a drumbeat of righteous indignation presented alongside the usual tableaux of a “we must do something.” So is there a case for American military involvement? First, a quick overview. Syria has been ruled by the Assad Family dictatorship since the 1960’s. Under their tenure, the country became one of the former Soviet Union’s staunchest Arab allies, supported the “rejectionist front” Palestinians to oppose any peace deal with Israel, provided a home address for the Abu Nidal terrorist group, and until five years ago, occupied neighboring Lebanon. Because the Assad’s belong to the Allewite sect of Shiite Islam, the Damascus rulers have been politically close with their co-religionists in the Islamic Republic of Iran. But largely because of Syria complex religious and ethnic quilt among its 22 million people, the regime has wisely maintained a secular state. There’s a sizable and prosperous Christian minority. Moreover and ironically, Syria hosts one of the largest refugee populations in the world and provides shelter for one million Iraqi refugees. As the political sandstorm of the Arab Spring started last year in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, inevitably the winds reached Damascus. When they did, and protests started, Assad cracked down the old fashioned way; arrests, in-

timidation, and shootings. As violence intensified, the “international community” expressed shock and dismay but repeated attempts to censure Syria in the UN Security Council were stopped cold by the dramatic double-vetoes of Russia and Mainland China. As this column has oft stated, despite growing international indignation over the violence in Syria, both Moscow and Beijing have provided Damascus with the diplomatic cover fire to get away with murder. What small steps the UN has achieved on the political front, such as the Kofi Annan ceasefire plan with the 300 UN observers across Syria has largely become moribund, suspending operations, as all parties to the conflict refuse to stop. As former UN Secretary General Annan stated circuitously, “It’s time for countries of influence to raise the level of pressure on the parties on the ground and persuade them to stop the killing and start the talking.” But will another international meeting, planned for this weekend, stop the clock on the ongoing violence? Not likely. So given the ongoing violence inside Syria, should the USA and its allies seek to topple the Assad dictatorship militarily either through a multinational UN operation or acting unilaterally? Given Russia’s and China’s continuing support for the Syrian regime, no remotely serious Security Council action will pass their double veto in the UN. And while a “Coalition of the Willing,” in this case the USA, Britain, France through NATO, could rerun the Libya scenario and intervene under the “Responsibility to Protect,” such would be setting a dangerous precedent. When Syrian air defenses shot down a Turkish F-4 Phantom jet, the crisis took on a dangerous new dimension. Turkey who shares a 550 mile border with Syria and who has sheltered 35,000 refugees, has played a key role in arming and supporting the Free Syrian Army. Yet, Ankara, is wary of taking military action alone. NATO has condemned the Syrian action and has expressed strong solidarity with member state Turkey.

While the pros of such an operation would likely topple Assad’s family rule and serve as a devastating setback to Iran’s regional interests, the counterpoint would be to shatter a fragile secular state, to directly confront

Russia, and to enter another Mid-Eastern political imbroglio. The Obama Administration acquiesced to the rise of a radical Islamic government in Egypt. Might we be opening another po-

A Political Glossary Since this is an election year, we can expect to hear a lot of words -and the meaning of those words is not always clear. So it may be helpful by Thomas Sowell to have a glosSyndicated Columnist sary of political terms. One of the most versatile terms in the political vocabulary is “fairness.” It has been used over a vast range of issues, from “fair trade” laws to the Fair Labor Standards Act. And recently we have heard that the rich don’t pay their “fair share” of taxes. Some of us may want to see a definition of what is “fair.” But a concrete definition would destroy the versatility of the word, which is what makes it so useful politically. If you said, for example, that 46.7 percent of their income -- or any other number -- is the “fair share” of their income that the rich should have to pay in taxes,

then once they paid that amount, there would be no basis for politicians to come back to them for more -- and “more” is what “fair share” means in practice. Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government. “Racism” is another term we can expect to hear a lot this election year, especially if the public opinion polls are going against President Barack Obama. Former big-time TV journalist Sam Donaldson and current fledgling CNN host Don Lemon have already proclaimed racism to be the reason for criticisms of Obama, and we can expect more and more other talking heads to say the same thing as the election campaign goes on. The word “racism” is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything -- and demanding evidence makes you a “racist.” A more positive term that is likely to be heard a lot, during See Sowell on 27

JFK was a Catholic; does that mean he was like Ted Kennedy and Obama, when it comes to killing unborn or partially born babies, Caroline?

He is a Democrat, who claims to be a former Financial Advisor. In mentioning the names of Republicans seeking re-election to the NH House from Laconia, Charlie writes “Their radical, non-realty based legislation ‘balanced’ the budget, among other gimmicks.� Hey, Charlie, where were you and other Liberals in 20062010 when John Lynch, Beth Arsenault, and the ruling majority known as Democrats (Sylvia Larson, Terri Norrelli) were stealing $110 Million from the JUA – money that belonged to the doctors of NH?

ourselves, our neighbors and the world.� ******** Last Thursday, soon after my talk show I was informed by Laconia Rep. Harry Accornero that Obamacare was to be the law of the land. Once I learned how the vote went, I was extremely angry as was friend and radio colleague Attorney Charlie Gallagher. As Betty and I did our shopping (I wait in the car), the thought that perhaps Chief Justice John Roberts had saved America, came into my thought process. We now know Obamacare IS A TAX, and definitely not good for us. Now, how many incumbents and candidates will have the courage to repeal Obamacare as the con job that it is? Now, Roberts has given us the opportunity allowed by the US Constitution, for you and me to do legally, and that is to toss out those who would support BIGGER government Obama style. We have been a part of nearly four years of NO direction, NO financial recovery, and NO protecting the rule of law. From one of the most NON-TRANSPARENT administrations ever while offering NO HOPE! Barack Hussein Obama is useless, BUT dangerous. ******** One thing I wished I would have done is cross Church Street here in Laconia on the day John F. Kennedy was standing near Busy Corner with Bernie Boutin. My grandmother and my aunt, the two adults who brought me up, were strong Republicans, and since I was not yet the voting age of 21, why cross the street?

litical Pandora’s Box in for fundamentalist factions in Damascus? The question emerges; is Syria a direct national interest of the USA? Given the wide-ranging U.S. military deployments, the severe cutbacks to military preparedness, and the Obama Administration’s haphazard policy trajectory, this is clearly not America’s fight. Seeing the carnage in Syria, surely there are feelings of hopelessness and despair. But beyond emotions, now think realistically of the collateral consequences of such an action with a significant American military role thrust into a spiral of events.

Your party was tossed out in 2010 – by big numbers – why do you suppose that happened? The voters of NH had finally tired of government by Liberal Loons, and Obama! As for job creation, the folks working for the people understood that job creation does not mean taxpayer funded positions. That’s what Obama calls putting people to work.

dian Village and Storybook Forest came and went as the summer tourist seasons shrunk. “First we had the Indian Trading Post in 1967 to see if there was any interest in Indian history,” said Bob. “There was and it led to Indian Village in 1971. It was a very popular attraction. John also loved it since he had a huge interest in history. It became costly

All have been sold since with the one in Port Richey to be the last in 1988. “We had a few slow years starting in 1990 and we knew we had to come up with some new ideas,” said

needs of the new league bowlers who were coming to Funspot after lanes in Gilford closed. “We certainly had a lot going on that year,” said Bob. “We spent more money than we had anticipated.” Funspot has also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tokens to schools and organizations over the years.

The Party Rooms have also always been a big attraction at Funspot. At a meeting with Steve Lawton, business manager, Gary Vincent and Bob, it was decided to do away with paid birthday parties and make them free, This has proven to be so popular that we have had to

make more space available for parties.The original party room was revamped about six years ago making more room for games. Today, there are free party rooms available and hundreds of parties of all types have been held there. We encourage people to bring in their own cakes and decorations,” said Bob.

In 1998, Funspot manager Gary Vincent, a 31-year employee of Funspot and the Master of Ceremonies for the 60th anniversary event, had suggested to Bob that they should keep all the old video games they still had and create a museum. Today, those video games of the 1980s and earlier, make up the 300 game American Classic Arcade Museum on Funspot’s third level. It is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit that is visited by people from around the world and is the site of the annual International Classic Video Game Tournament. It was also the setting for the documentary movie “King of King” A Fistful of Quarters.” Vincent is president and curator of the museum. “The best thing about the Classic games is that they are all operational,” said Bob. “Not an easy task as many parts are hard to find.” He went on to recognize Randy Lawton, Bob Winterson and Gary Vincent for their expertise in keeping them in running order. Another notable event that happened in 2011 was when Funspot’s classic kiddie boat ride “Sea Skate” was featured on the History Channel’s “American Restoration.” Bob went down for the filming and appeared in the episode. The restored ride and the video of the show are on display in Funspot’s Kiddie Room. Last year, Funspot worked with the owners of The Monkey Trunks Zipline and Adventure Course to have them construct one of their popular facilities on Funspot’s grounds. It has so far served as an excellent combination as both attractions compliment each other in providing different types of family attractions within walking distance of each other. Bob also gave a special mention to his son Tim, who owns a tugboat in Louisiana. “Tim worked as manager at the Concord Funspot from 1981-1988,” said Bob. He also owned a boat on Winnipesaukee called the “H.A. Blackstone.” One

He had found other artifacts while diving as well. He said in 1986 he thought it would be a great idea to have a museum for all of this and we registered the name of the Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society and today we have a beautiful museum right next door. The davit serves as the museum’s signpost. We wish he was here today and we are all thinking of him.” Before Bob spoke, his son, David, who is marketing manager at Funspot as well as President and Managing Editor of the Weirs Publishing Company, spoke about Bob’s time as a NH State Representative where, in his first session in 1969, he introduced the bill to have “Live Free Or Die” replace “Scenic” on New Hampshire license plates. Bob was also instrumental in staving off a five percent income tax that same year. Bob served in the NH House with his mother, Doris Thompson for 12 years and, later, Dave, for four years. Dave also recounted how Bob resurrected the Weirs Times Newspaper in 1992

which today is one of the most popular newspapers in the state. Bob had a copy of the original newspaper published by Matthew Calvert from 18831902 and he was excited to publish a new one with the same masthead and center map. Ron Stevens, who was experienced in newspaper publishing, was hired and the first issues had a distribution of around 1,000. After a few months Ron left,” recalled David. “So my dad gathered us all together and we asked ‘What are we going to do?’ and he said, ‘We are going to learn to do it ourselves.’ And we did. In three weeks we were doing it all ourselves. Today the Weirs Times and Cocheco Times prints 33,000 copies a week and it is distributed statewide.” The first ten years of publication, Bob had the time consuming job of cutting and pasting each and every page of the Weirs Times before it was sent to the printer. A job that took 8-10 hours every Sunday. Today, computers have taken that job from Bob. “Bob has sort of retired,” said Vincent at the beginSee funspot on 33

to make you shiver as you remember those, what seem like today, primitive tools, a 1940s style kitchen and other 1940s era displays of life. The latest addition is “David’s Garage” named after Wright Museum founder, David Wright. The detail is amazing from the gas pump to the calendars on the wall and the tools lying around the shop. These displays are changed over time as new artifacts are acquired or donated. After the Home Front room comes an amazing display called “The Time Tunnel.” Started in 2001 and added to over the past ten years, it is finally in its stage of near completion. You literally enter into what is a tunnel layout proceeding through the years 1939-1945, each year in separate rooms and each room divided into home and war front with a strong emphasis on the former.

developed in stages with the 1939 room being the original model in 2001. The 1945 room was just completed this year. Each room sponsored by a generous donation. Videos of the particular year are available for viewing in each room as well as a Times Square type electronic sign that flashes the big news stories of the year. There is the familiar, like the famous kiss in Times Square photo by Alfred Eisenstadt, to some of the untold stories including a few of New Hampshire’s own war story displays. Ron Goodgame of Wolfeboro donated a display. His father and three brothers were all in the service in WWII. One day his father flew off an aircraft carrier on a mission and never returned. The display honors his memory and the services of his uncles. There’s also display of a woman in Farmington who had five sons who served and one of them See wright on 20

received a Bronze Star years later. One of the biggest attractions in the Time Tunnel rooms is the price lists. Find out the yearly incomes, cost of a new house and a gallon of gas for each year. “People run back and forth between the rooms and compare the prices all the time,” said Warner. The Time Tunnel displays are still considered a work in progress as, they too, will see things rotate in and out as artifacts and other stories become available. “That is what a museum is all about,” said Warner. “You have to keep on changing things.” Another new display that was finished over the winter is the Maritime exhibit which chronicles the War at Sea. The Navy, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines are all represented. Scratch built models by ship modeler David Warren are displayed to give the ships the appearance they are

Uniforms of the different naval groups are represented. The museum is still looking for more artifacts to fill out the Merchant Marine story. A new and most impressive display on the second floor, the “War In The Air in Europe” exhibit was begun in January of this year and completed in May. Through newly donated artifacts the display is laid out to tell the story of this important component of World War

II. Among the artifacts you’ll see in the “War In The Air in Europe” exhibit are Top secret navigation charts used by flight crews used for briefings, a Norden Bombsight, aviation timepieces, an aircraft data plate from a 1942 B-17, escape maps used by pilots, survival packs as well as equipment and accouterments used by pilots on a day to day basis. “We tried to pack as much as we could into

this space to really explain what the America air effort was in their ally with Great Britain,” said Warner. Similar to the story of Ron Goodgame’s father in the war, a display in this aviation section is dedicated to Clayton Hale, a Brewster Academy graduate who was the first Wolfeboro resident to be killed in the war. Fighting in the Pacific, his plane took off and never came back. The Art Gallery, which

was started last fall and recently completed is filled with genuine period World War II posters promoting different aspects of what was going on in the war. Dozens of posters asking people to buy War Bonds, ration resources,keeping your mouth shut for security and more, line the walls. These posters emphasis the great sense of sacrifice that not only the soldiers, but the civilians at home had to endure for See wright on 22

election years especially, is “compassion.” But what does it mean concretely? More often than not, in practice it means a willingness to spend the taxpayers’ money in ways that will increase the spender’s chances of getting reelected. If you are skeptical -- or, worse yet, critical -- of this practice, then you qualify for a different political label: “mean-spirited.” A related political label is “greedy.” In the political language of today, people who want to keep what they have earned are said to be “greedy,” while those who wish to take their earnings from them and give it to others (who will vote for them in return) show “compassion.” A political term that had me baffled for a long time was “the hungry.” Since we all get hungry, it was not obvious to me how you single out some particular segment of the population to refer to as “the hungry.” Eventually, over the years, it finally dawned on

me what the distinction was. People who make no provision to feed themselves, but expect others to provide food for them, are those whom politicians and the media refer to as “the hungry.” Those who meet this definition may have money for alcohol, drugs or even various electronic devices. And many of them are overweight. But, if they look to voluntary donations, or money taken from the taxpayers, to provide them with something to eat, then they are “the hungry.” I can remember a time, long ago, when I was hungry in the old-fashioned sense. I was a young fellow out of work, couldn’t find work, fell behind in my room rent -- and, when I finally found a job, I had to walk miles to get there, because I couldn’t afford both subway fare and food. But this was back in those “earlier and simpler times” we hear about. I was so naive that I thought it was up to me to go find a job, and to save some mon-

ey when I did. Even though I knew that Joe DiMaggio was making $100,000 a year -- a staggering sum in the money of that time -- it never occurred to me that it was up to him to see that I got fed. So, even though I was hungry, I never qualified for the political definition of “the hungry.” Moreover, I never thereafter spent all the money I made, whether that was a little or a lot, because being hungry back then was a lot worse than being one of “the hungry” today. As a result, I was never of any use to politicians looking for dependents who would vote for them. Nor have I ever had much use for such politicians.

The cast features local youth actors including Abby Scott of Tamworth, Margaret Gocha of Plymouth, Skyler Alexander of Grafton, Robbie Sassan, Kayla Sassan, Megan Fountain, Emily Wild, and John Findlay of Meredith, and Bryan Rowell of Braintree, MA. The adaptation was written by returning director Mark Hoffner. Emily Ellett, musical director, and Jordan Haskins, choreographer, round out the professional team. The original and eclectic score—which ranges from ragtime to lullabies—was composed by Cory Schofield, a rising piano prodigy from Concord, NH, and Cecilia Senocak, a singer-songwriter from New York City.

The Sound of Water

by Steve White Contributing Writer

There is no better way to get birds flocking to your yard than a good source of fresh water. A bird’s need for water in all four seasons is so strong that even species you never expected will be attracted to a strategically placed water source. Birds are very opportunistic. If a birdbath is not available, they will accept water in almost any device or indentation, even the tiniest puddles that would hardly get your shoes wet. By adding a water feature to your backyard habitat you can have a focal point of interest that benefits your feathered friends. The most natural spot for a bath is close to the ground. Water at higher levels not only appeals to some species, it reduces the bird’s exposure to cat attacks. A soaking wet bird is no match for an

aggressive feline. Locating a birdbath near trees improves security against raptors. Plus, branches are an easily reached perch from which to preen in safety. Motion on water’s surface or the noise of falling water is like a magnet to the wild birds. If you don’t have room for a recirculating waterfall, any device that moves the water or creates a sound will do the trick. Dripper, misters or small pump driven fountains that keep water moving have the added benefit of preventing mosquito eggs from hatching. You can create your own dripper by hanging an old watering can over your birdbath on a sheppard’s hook. Angle the spout so that just a small dripping action is achieved. An old bucket with a tiny hole on the bottom is an acceptable alternative. If you have a lawn irrigation system, you can connect it to a birdbath for a continuous water flow. Run a line with a spray emitter from the drip system to the place where the birdbath is located. Every time the irrigation system

goes on, fresh water flushes out the bath, refills it and assures the birds always have a source for bathing and drinking. Whatever your space or topography allows, providing water in your birdfriendly yard is an integral part of the birdscaping plan. The birds won’t care if it’s an elaborate bathing structure or an upside down garbage can lid. They simply want a reliable, clean source of water all year long. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls” with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM. Wild Bird Depot has donated over $5,000 to local rehabilitators and local nature centers since 1996. Be sure to check out our blog “Bird Droppings” via our website www. wildbirddepot.com.

A new arts collaboration between RB Productions and the Capitol Center for the Arts is underway with four productions coming to Concord this summer. RB Productions has, since its founding a decade ago, been producing high quality theater for the Concord area especially through its highly praised summer youth theater camps. These summer productions had been previously staged at Beaver Meadow School, but this year they are all moving to New Hampshire’s premier stage—the Capitol

Center for the Arts. Beginning Monday July 2, the Capitol Center will be turned into a home for a stage full of young actors from the Concord area. They will use nearly the entire CCA facility, rehearsing on the stage, in the Governors Hall, and the Kimball House. The shows begin on Friday July 6 at 7pm with “Sweeney Todd— School Edition� recommended for ages 13 and over because of its mature themes. That will be followed on July 13 by “Godspell Junior�. Both these shows will also

He also thanked many of his longtime employees who have been with Funspot for twenty years or more including Gary Vincent, Cal and Bubba Hahn, Tina Gebhard, Nancy and Chris Ferguson, Brian Vincent and Tina Gebhard. He also noted the excellent work that both Nancy and Chris have done in maintaining Funspot’s flower gardens throughout the property. He also thanked

the employees of The Weirs Times including Dave Lawton and Brendan Smith Then Bob noted the most important people to Funspot’s success, the customers who have been coming to the Family Entertainment Center for generations. “If it wasn’t for all of you,� Bob said to the crowd. “None of this would have ever been possible.� After the ribbon was cut, all those in attendance were treated to ten dollar Funspot token cards and a pastry and coffee reception in the D.A. Long Tavern and many long time customers of Funspot stopped to talk with Bob. After the festivities were over, Bob went back to work. There were still things to get done as Funspot begins it 61st year.

dy’s Fashion Mart in Harlem, which was burned to the ground in 1995 after protesters broke in and gunned down four employees. Team Obama can no more dissociate itself from Sharpton’s bloody legacy than Sharpton can dissociate himself from his own poisonous tongue. In return for his blind and tireless defense over the past year and a half, Holder has publicly embraced Sharpton and endorsed his toxic racial smokescreen. In April, Holder lavished praise on Sharpton “for your partnership, your friendship and your tireless efforts to speak out for the voiceless, to stand up for the powerless and to shine a light on the problems we must solve and the promises we must fulfill.” Obama himself addressed Sharpton’s spring

convention, as did several other Cabinet secretaries. White House visitor logs show more than a dozen entries for “Al Sharpton” or “Alfred Sharpton” over the past three years. President Clinton had his Sister Souljah moment: a public attempt in 1992 to distance Democrats from radical racial demagoguery. The current White House has turned that centrist maneuver on its head, and American voters of good will shouldn’t forget it. Obama’s Brother Sharpton moment, a calculated deflection from the Fast and Furious scandal, is an unrepentant bear hug of racial extremism. Shame, shame, shame. Michelle Malkin is the author of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks & Cronies” (Regnery 2010). Her e-mail address is malkinblog@gmail.com.

made at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. -- and it has been that way since the O-Team arrived in Washington, particularly on matters of national security. This is, after all, the administration that came to office promising “transparency,� a “responsible end to Bush’s wars,� to “shut down Gitmo� and to “try terrorists in civilian courts.� Now, better than three years on, none of that has happened -other than the precipitous withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops from Iraq. Other than with a tidal wave of leaks -- all designed to portray a dithering administration in disarray as bold and decisive -- the White House never has explained the “what, why and how� for the decisions it has made (or has failed to make) on issues affecting our security. Worse, the damage done by publicly disclosing highly classified national security information has put Americans at risk, jeopardized our

ability to collect important intelligence and seriously damaged vital relationships with our allies. The Obama White House now says the leakers “must be held accountable.� That’s about as likely as the sun rising in the west tomorrow morning. This week’s domestic policy decisions on Capitol Hill obscure the sanguinary consequences of attention-deficit disorder at the White House. In his June 4, 2009, Cairo speech, Obama famously expressed his “commitment� to “governments that reflect the will of the people� and specified, “You must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise; you must place the interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party.� Yet just two weeks later, when the ayatollahs ruling in Iran brutally crushed

a popular challenge to a fraudulent presidential election, the O-Team decided to do nothing. Four months later, he was named a Nobel Prize winner. Last year, as Arab Spring revolutions began sweeping dictators from power in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, the White House announced a new doctrine: the “responsibility to protect� innocent civilians from despots -- and let the United Nations and NATO “take the lead.� Now, for the Syrian people caught in the crossfire of a civil war, the lack of American leadership is nothing short of catastrophic. Human rights groups estimate that the 15-month rebellion against the Assad regime in Damascus has cost more than 14,000 lives and at least 25,000 wounded -- most of them innocent civilians. On June 28, as the White House focused on Supreme Court and congressional decisions in Washington, Turkish troops

were moving into position along their border with Syria. In Ankara, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that his army regards Syrian military units approaching Turkey as a threat. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin has dispatched more naval infantry to protect the Russian naval base at Tartus -- and presumably the underground joint Syrian-Russian command center in Damascus. The Obama administration, distracted by events in Washington, issued a response from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Helsinki, Finland: “We have great hope� that a meeting this weekend in Geneva hosted by U.N. special emissary Kofi Annan will be “a critical turning point.� The operative word is “hope.� Hope is not a course of action. A course of action necessitates making decisions. Decisions require paying attention to what’s happening. That’s just one more

ing at the entrance of the Camping Le Ventoux. We were all amazed we had all rendezvoused right on time. For the next week the eight of us rode our bicycles over hills, along vineyards, through medieval cities and high above on the edges of canyons. But it was our third day of cycling that in the campground we saddled up to ride to the top of Mont Ventoux, elevation 6,273 feet. The Tour de France visits this mountain every two to three years (not this year). Known as the Giant of Provence, Mont Ventoux’s white limestone top is a focal point of the region. In French venteux means windy. There are three roads to its summit; we went up the classic route from Bedoin—13.5 miles average grade 7.5%. The first few miles are relatively easy but quickly changes in the forest increasing to 9% and hits as high as 11%. Then popping out at treeline at the Chalet Reynard the 7% grade feels flat but then back to the grind and the last mile is a difficult 10% grade. We rode together to Bedoin but then we were

I slipped out of town a few minutes ahead while Kris and Linda had some adjustments made at the bike shop (they had rented, Wes & I borrowed Dieter’s and Silvi’s old bicycles, nicest bicycle I ever rode). I rode steady; soon Silvi was flying by me. Minutes later a smiling easy going Dieter came by and said, “Amy, slow down it is steep all the way!” Honestly I thought I couldn’t ride any slower. I was jealous of the riders that had an early start and were now

flying downhill. I passed a few people and a few people passed me. I kept leapfrogging the same support cars and took comfort by the fact that I was keeping pace ahead of their riders. I kept making deals that I never kept, such as I’ll rest at the next corner, but I never did get off my bicycle. The road was painted with many names of Tour riders, I didn’t see Lance’s name but everyone else did. Wes passed me with the summit in sight and See patenaude on 43

Marseille as seen from Vieux Port to Notre Dame de la Gard.

Les Gorges de la Nesque. We cruised downhill for at least another ten miles and the scenery was stunning. Lucky for us only a few motorcycles and a small Mercedes rally zoomed by. Some corners were so tight that tunnels were cut to make the turn. I was in awe all the way through the gorge. Back to Mazan we rode and we were once again surrounded by roses and vineyards. The first week of June is too early for Provence’s famous lavender fields to bloom but

a couple miles to go. Photographers snapped our pictures and put their business cards in our bike jersey pockets and urged us to visit their websites. We were so lucky the wind was very light. Each stroke I pedaled closer and surprise Silvi is beside me to ride the last quarter mile with me. The summit reminds me very much of our own Mount Washington because you can buy nearly everything that boasts this bike rode up… and the view is grand! Along with dozens of bicyclists there were cars, buses, tourists and vendors crowding the summit. We could see east all the way to the snow covered Alps. We were truly on top of the world. We flew down the road, so very fast. With less than two miles to go we managed to squeeze our brakes tight to stop to cheer Linda on. We repeated the scene when we met Kris further down. At the 6ks, at the Chalet we took a left and followed the road to Sault. Over 12

Silvi, Dieter, Wes and yours truly on the summit of Mont Ventoux, elevation 6,273 feet. Bicyclists from around the world come to ride this tough Tour de France route. We rode the classic route up from Bedoin, 22 kilometers at an average grade of 7.5% but there are long stretches that are between 9% and 10%! We had perfect weather for our ascent with little wind and clear vistas. miles of 4% downhill! I felt like I was in heaven. On the twisty turns I tried not to touch my brakes and the pavement was bumpy and the vibrations made my fingers numb. We only stopped in town long enough to fill our water bottles and little did I know we were really off on another adventure. Route D942 is a little more than a one lane road hugging the wall of the canyon,

So, by all means, if you feel sure about your facts, step right up and defend your side of the issue. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve done some great work recently. Now it’s time to reward yourself with something wonderful, perhaps a day at a spa or a night out with someone very special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to make time to do a little more listening, otherwise you could miss out on an important message someone might be trying to send you.

Now, move on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this time. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might well feel uneasy as you face a difficult situation involving someone close to you. But you know you’re doing the right thing, so stick with your decision.

They didn’t enjoy the high speed descents as much as we did. I am a little jealous they stopped a lot and really discovered a lot of wonderful things we just pedaled by. Around our campground table we ate local cheeses and drank pink stuff (local rose wine) and celebrated our strong ride. Gabbi and Martin made their own loop and it included riding up the canyon. They skipped the mountain ascent since they believe riding Mont Ventoux once is enough in a lifetime!
