The Oratory Of Daniel Webster
The Day I Met The Wolfman by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
heard something behind me. “GET OFF MY LAND!” came a booming voice. I turned to see that I was face to face with one of the legends of the White Mountains...the Wolfman, who for years has been terrorizing riders of the steam powered train ride over the Pemigewasset River, one of the many attractions at Clark’s Trading Post. My first thought was to
make a quick run back to the car and get out of there as fast as I could, but I had heard about the Wolfman’s unpredictable temper so I decided to stand my ground and act calm. I also snapped a quick picture. I soon learned he does not like his picture taken. The Wolfman cautiously approached me, his old shotgun clutched tightly in his hands. Soon we See wolfman on 27

I don’t get to the Lincoln-Woodstock area much, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to travel to this beautiful part of New Hampshire to visit and do an article on Clark’s Trading Post. Not being familiar with my way around, I depended on my trusty GPS which got me almost to my destination but then,
as often happens with this latest and greatest in technology, it sent me down what I was soon to learn was an incorrect path a bit off the beaten path near Clark’s. I followed without thinking at first, but then soon realized something was amiss as I was no longer on a paved road but a narrowing dirt trail. I stopped the car and got out to assess the situation. It is then that I

Weirs Times Editor Brendan Smith recently took a wrong turn on his way to do a story on Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln and ended up coming face to face with the infamous Wolfman. This photo may be the first one taken of the Wolfman at his Unobtanium mine.

Remembering Peter Karagianis To The Editor: In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, Peter S. Karagianis led the charge to save and preserve the Belknap Mill from its almost certain fate: to make way for 14 parking spaces. Even now, it is hard to believe the dramatic difference the absence of the Mill might have made to the Lakes Region. We might have lost a beautiful landmark that defines Laconia’s skyline and marks its entrance with grace. We might have lost a building of profound historic significance, one of the oldest remaining industrial sites of its kind in the country. We might have lost the chief symbol of our community’s manufacturing heritage. We might have lost a vital resource for education, culture and civic engagement. It is hard to imagine our community without the Belknap Mill. It was therefore a heartfelt honor to recognize and celebrate the man whose vision and leadership profoundly changed Laconia and the Lakes Region for the better. We will always remember Peter S. Karagianis’ contributions. It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge the contributions of those who helped us to celebrate Peter’s remarkable legacy. Our presenters, whose words evoked deep regard for Peter as a community statesman, colleague, friend and fa-
Our Story
ther: John Walker (President of Laconia Kiwanis), Senator Andrew Hosmer, Laconia Mayor Ed Engler, Attorney Rod Dyer and S. Peter Karagianis. We thank the City of Laconia for their enthusiastic consent when approached by the Laconia Historical Society with the proposal to designate Peter Karagianis Way. Thank you to Warren Huse, Judy Buswell, David Stamps and Judy Taggart for their invaluable support and guidance. The Board of Directors is continually grateful for the staff of the Belknap Mill Society, Tara Shore and Jennifer McLean, for their boundless energy and unflagging commitment. And we offer our deepest appreciation to S. Peter Karagianis and the Karagianis family for their open-hearted generosity and their ongoing support of the Belknap Mill. Finally, thank you to the many people who shared this occasion to pay their respects to Peter and remember his important work. This was truly another day for the history books at the Belknap Mill.
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.

No Aircraft For Iran To The Editor: Boeing Co. recently cut a deal with Iran Air to sell it 100 Boeing 737s and 777s worth about $25 billion, which is a nice contract for Boeing and its employees. Unfortunately Iran Air has used passenger and cargo planes to transport military equipment to Syria and other Middle East countries, and there is nothing to prevent them from continuing this practice. Some of the military shipments included materials for advanced weapons, and rockets and missiles. Furthermore, it is possible these planes could be used to move troops and could possibly be converted to bombers The U.S. could revoke the license to sell the aircraft if Iran violates the agreement, but Iran would have control of the previously delivered aircraft at that time. Congress should not approve this contract. If it is approved, delivery of the aircraft should be stretched out over an extended number of years. Additionally, we should install back door disabling software in each aircraft which we can energize at our discretion. Donald Moskowitz Londonderry, NH.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Summer Scenes
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
There is this scene in the movie “Jaws” where, when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10,000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach, everyone with anything that floats, takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty. Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to capture it, the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters, armed with fishing poles, spears and rifles, try to outdo the others. Boats are going every which way, no one is giving an inch, safety is ignored and near misses and accidents occur with regularity. I haven’t seen “Jaws” for a while, but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and look out onto Lake Winnipesaukee on a sunny summer weekend. There are usually dozens of boats going every which way, jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters looking for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer, less crowded waters. It is, to me, one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region. The only thing missing is the shark and the “dumdum-dum-dum” soundtrack.
There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors. Inside the local supermarkets, there is always a bigger crowd than usual. Business is good. As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts – are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesaukee as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge? - I see a pattern. I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not. Shopping carts full of hot dogs, hamburger meat, rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway. Still, there could be some locals in this category, just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this summer. It is then that I look for the real giveaway. Those wearing “I Love New Hampshire” and “Lake Winnipesaukee” sweatshirts, usually give it away. You’ll rarely ever see a local with one of those on. I am also great at picking out a good nasally New York accent; Long Island being my specialty, since that is where I grew up. I still have a twinge of it myself after a few beers, but it quickly goes away. I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachusetts dialects. Even Rosetta Stone can’t help with this one. Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist. Still, locals have those as well, so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them, I’d bet money. Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities. I remember, all too clearly, last summer a very disturbing scenario: A man in
the supermarket with no shirt on. This wasn’t a young guy, but a guy who was at least in his 50s. Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness, he strolled through the supermarket not seeming to care while at the same time setting up a sight that will, I am sure, for years to come, haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike. He, was, for lack of a better term, more frightening than the shark in “Jaws.” I can only suggest to him, and those like him, that you do the rest of us a favor and throw on a “I Love New Hampshire” or “Lake Winnipesaukee” sweatshirt the next time, if there must be one. Some scenes of summer are subtler: harder to get a seat at the restaurant; easier to get a lobster roll. Harder to get a tee time; easier to find a mini-golf course. Easier to find fresh blueberries, harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit, in case you didn’t know). From a business standpoint, summer is a short eight-week season. From the selfish viewpoint of some locals, it’s way too long. Year round residents are quick to criticize, complain and give loud sighs when they become frustrated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months. That’s a true sign of summer as well. Before you know it, traffic will diminish, attractions will close, supermarkets will be quieter and there won’t be much to do.

Outsourcing Security Is Dumb and Deadly It is not a theory that delegating the protection of our embassy and military personnel to other countries risks lives. It is a by Michelle Malkin reality bathed Syndicated Columnist in American blood. The latest reports on Benghazi released this week underscore the persistent dangers of outsourcing security. By all accounts, the security conditions at the State Department’s consular facility in Libya were “deplorable,” as the House Benghazi committee’s final summary report described it. ThenSecretary of State Hillary Clinton had been warned a month before the attack that violence was “on an upward trend” and “unpredictable;” “lawlessness was increasing,” and local militia groups that were providing security in many areas were at the same time “undercutting it in others.” One of those local militia groups just happened to be in charge of providing interior armed security at the Benghazi Mission compound: the February 17 Martyrs Brigade militia. Yes, we entrusted armed Islamic strongmen -- linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, supportive of al-Qaida, and financed by the Libyan defense ministry -- to guard our diplomats. No, this is not an Onion parody. Instead of serving as a “quick reaction force” as they were contracted to do, the Muslim militiamen fled. (What’s Arabic for “cut and run force”?) Two days before Ambassador Chris
Stevens was scheduled to arrive in Benghazi, the “martyrs” informed State’s Diplomatic Security Agents that they would no long provide off-compound security during transport or meetings off-site. “The meeting underscored that the militias in Benghazi controlled what little security environment existed there,” the House Benghazi final report noted. The other entity providing internal security support was the British-operated Blue Mountain Guard Force, which employed unarmed personnel at three entrance gates and inside the compound. As documents previously obtained by Judicial Watch revealed, BMG guards had been abandoning their posts for three months before the attacks out of fear for their safety. Officials warned the State Department that they were “undermanned.” Reuters interviewed the Libyan commander in charge of the local guards at the mission, who had applied with BMG after hearing about the company from a neighbor. “I don’t have a background in security; I’ve never held a gun in my life,” he told the news service. As Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton concluded, the internal communications showed that the “U.S. Special Mission at Benghazi was a sitting duck. ... All security indicators were flashing red and, perhaps, with a show of strength to secure the Benghazi mission, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods might be alive today.” The same is true of two U.S. Marines, Lt. Col. Christopher
Musical Chairs at UN Security Council UNITED NATIONS - The an-
nual round of musical chairs in the UN Security Council came early this year as elections for five by John J. Metzler new non-perSyndicated Columnist manent members to the fifteen member council were held as to give prospective countries more time to prepare for their two-year tenure beginning in January. But while the timing may have been shifted from the usual October vote, the broad political substance was largely unchanged. The regional groups select the candidates which then must win a two-thirds majority of the 193 member General Assembly. In many cases however, the election is actually an unopposed selection, as in Africa and Latin America this year. In other contests, the competing countries either win See malkin on 41 an outright majority as in Asia or
there’s a more complex contest of repeated votes as in Western Europe. The five new members will join the Council whose Permanent Five, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States hold veto power on issues of peace and security. So let’s take a look at winners and losers and reflect upon how the new Security Council dynamic affects U.S. interests. Africa The seat for the African group is held by Angola. The unopposed candidate was Ethiopia. Needless to say Ethiopia won but here’s some interesting backstory. Contrary to most African states, Ethiopia was never a colony, and in fact was one of the UN’s original members. Despite a turbulent history, Ethiopia is a largely Christian country with close ties to the USA. Moreover Ethiopia contributes the largest number of “blue helmets” to the UN’s far flung peacekeeping missions and has played a vital role in opposing terrorist groups

Another One Bites The Dust If the primary season had an official song, it would be the 1980 chart-topper Another One Bites the Dust. I was by Ken Gorrell never a fan Northfield, NH. of Queen, and I don’t like that song, but there’s no denying it was popular in its day: a world-wide hit, number one in the US for three weeks, and in the top ten for 15 weeks, the longest of any song that year. “And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust” Last week the one who bit the dust, at least to me, was Executive Councilor and GOP gubernatorial candidate Chris Sununu. His decision to shovel more of our tax dollars into the maw of Planned Parenthood, Inc., (PP) was not just a flipflop, it was unsupportable from both the fiscal and women’s health perspectives. Regardless of one’s position on the issue of abortion, providing more public money to the nation’s largest - and very profitable - non-profit abortion provider is simply not the best use of limited resources if one’s goal is to promote and improve
women’s health. While Planned Parenthood’s PR department works overtime to maintain the illusion that their mission is exactly that - improving women’s health - the facts tell a different story. From 2009 to 2013, Planned Parenthood: ● reduced cancer-screening and -prevention programs by about half ● cut prenatal services by more than half ● decreased the number of breast exams by 41 percent. (And these were just “exams.” Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms.) Strangely, for an organization that bills itself as essential to supporting a woman’s overall reproductive health: ● women were 174 times more likely to receive an abortion operation than an adoption referral in 2013 (I wonder which option generates more profit?) ● adoption referrals decreased by 18 percent from 2011 to 2013 ● abortion made up over 94 percent of services provided to pregnant women, while prenatal care made up about 5 percent and adoption counseling and referral about 1 percent. Did Mr. Sununu consider any of these facts before he voted to add more of our tax money to the half-a-billion dollars
Planned Parenthood Federation of America currently receives from our government? The above facts come from the Family Research Council and are based on Planned Parenthood’s own annual re-
ports. As with any listing of facts and statistics, there’s always a “Yes, but…” Context is important. Perhaps there are no alternatives to Planned Parenthood for women seeking See gorrell on 42
The Fraud Goes On Last week the Supreme Court of the United States voted that President Obama exceeded his authority when he granted exemptions from the by Thomas Sowell immigration Syndicated Columnist laws passed by Congress. But the Supreme Court also exceeded its own authority by granting the University of Texas an exemption from the Constitution’s requirement of “equal protection of the laws,” by voting that racial preferences for student admissions were legal. Supreme Court decisions in affirmative action cases are the longest running fraud since the 1896 decision upholding racial segregation laws in the Jim Crow South, on grounds that “separate but equal” facilities were consistent with the Constitution. Everybody knew that those facilities were separate but by no means equal. Nevertheless, this charade lasted until 1954. The Supreme Court’s affirmative action cases have now lasted since 1974 when, in the case of “DeFunis v. Odegaard,” the Court voted 5 to 4 that this particular case was moot, which spared the justices from having to vote on its merits. While the 1896 “separate but equal” decision lasted 58 years, the Supreme Court’s affirmative action cases have now had 42 years of evasion, sophistry and fraud, with no end in sight. One sign of the erosion of principles over the years is that even one of the Court’s most liberal judicial activists, Justice William O. Douglas, could not stomach affirmative action in 1974, and voted to condemn it, rather than
declare the issue moot. But now, in 2016, the supposedly conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy voted to uphold the University of Texas’ racial preferences. Perhaps the atmosphere inside the Washington Beltway wears down opposition to affirmative action, much as water can eventually wear down rock and create the Grand Canyon. We have heard much this year about the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of the great Justice Antonin Scalia -and rightly so. But there are two vacancies on the Supreme Court. The other vacancy is Anthony Kennedy. The human tragedy, amid all the legal evasions and frauds is that, while many laws and policies sacrifice some people for the sake of other people, affirmative action manages to harm blacks, whites, Asians and others, even if in different ways. Students who are kept out of a college because other students are admitted instead, under racial quotas, obviously lose opportunities they would otherwise have had. But minority students admitted to institutions whose academic standards they do not meet are all too often needlessly turned into failures, even when they have the prerequisites for success in some other institution whose normal standards they do meet. When black students who scored at the 90th percentile in math were admitted to M.I.T., where the other students scored at the 99th percentile, a significant number of black students failed to graduate there, even though they could have graduated with honors at most other academic institutions. We do not have so many stuSee Sowell on 41

Most of us believe that none of them would be able to defeat the Clinton machine. And, yes... fear and desperation are the right words. At this point of the slippery slope into total destruction of what used to be a great country of patriotic people, it looks like only Trump can do the job. Call him what you want. I’m willing to take the only chance we have to turn things around. Maybe he will rule like Obama, but so would Hillary... only worse! At least Trump loves this country and freedom.� But wait there is more from the most transparent president and administration, EVER. ******** Susan Crabtree: “President Obama urged Canadians and Americans on Wednesday to resist the politics of fear and isolationism behind the Brexit vote and
Donald Trump’s nomination, which he said threaten INCLUSION, EQUALITY, AND, TOLERANCE. Without naming Donald Trump, Obama attacked his policy prescriptions in an address to the Canadian Parliament, arguing that scapegoating immigrants is just an attempt for nostalgic Americans fed up with their situation ‘to regain control’ of their lives.� Whoa! Is that Mr. Socialist telling you and me about freedom? Hussein Obama? The person who wants to throw the US Constitution away? The man who sees “Rules for Radicals� as his guide, the man who has taken our country to the edge of extinction, with Hellery Clinton one step away from an all liberal Supreme Court? No guns, no free speech, controlled internet access - is that what we Americans want? ******* I have longed for the days when the Union Leader editorials were hard hitting.

Only when enough Americans have been killed in those states will laws be changed. The voters in those states are unable to think abstractly or critically. Their minds are diseased by liberalism. They will only learn after they have experienced a mass casualty shooting event personally that you can not carry a police officer, only a pistol. The LGBT crowd learned this truth two weeks ago.

SPORTS RETIREMENT AND JEFF HOLMES Newly retired, I’ve been pondering retirement’s consequences. I hoped retirement meant improving my golf handicap—but, sadly, that’s yet to occur. Retirements vary. Some are forced into retirement. Some retire too soon. Some too late. Some not at all. A recent SPORTTHOUGHTS column opined that David Ortiz should NOT retire, given how well he’s been hitting. After a farewell tour around the NBA, L.A. Laker Kobe Bryant wrapped up a 20-year NBA career with a 60 point effort in his final game. Not a bad way to go out. Or consider 88-year-old L.A. Dodger broadcaster Vin Scully, presently in his 67th year at the microphone. He started when the team was still in Brooklyn. He could have retired long ago, but why quit doing something that you’re good at, that you enjoy, and for which you’re well-paid? And then there’s Jeff Hol-

MARINE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION Plymouth State grad Jeff Holmes recently hung up his whistle for the last time mes. Jeff’s a Plymouth State grad and a former basketball teammate whom I ran into at a recent Plymouth reunion event. He shared that he’d just retired from both coaching and teaching in upstate New York after 35 years—a nice run that left him somewhere between Kobe Bryant and Vin Scully on the retirement spectrum. Jeff won almost 300 games at Shaker High School—and several league championships. He reminisced about big wins and great players, but what was perhaps most special
was coaching his sons— as Jeff’s father Ray had coached Jeff in Plattsburgh, N.Y. in the 1970s. Great coaches have great character, and Jeff demonstrated his by crediting his wife Lynne for her support in helping raise three sons as Jeff spent countless hours with his hoopsters. While coaches do get paid for their efforts, their rewards are largely intrinsic. One can cash a coaching check, but the value of hearing former players tell how a coach changed their lives is incalculable. See moffett on 39

For anglers, braided line is one of the best things since sliced bread. Being almost four times thinner than monofilament makes it cast much farther, and the lack of stretch makes it ultra-sensitive for detecting bites and better hook sets, but it’s not without challenges. First off, it’s expensive. It is also known for the degree to which it tangles. Most anglers agree that once you overcome the few hurdles of fishing with braid you will only look at monofilament as leader material from then on. Braided line is made by weaving several fibers t o g e t h er. This makes the line much thinner, stronger, and virtually eliminates stretch. Thirty pound test braided line is the same diameter as eight pound test monofilament. The lack of stretch allows an angler greater casting distances and better hook sets, especially when fishing deep water.
Summer is what living in the Lakes Region is all about! Don’t get bogged down with chores! Trustworthy is here to help!
For instance, when fishing in 180’ of water, monofilament line has roughly 20� of stretch. When a fish bites, the stretch acts as a shock absorber, so you feel fewer bites. When you do feel a bite, you have to raise your rod tip almost that whole 20� before you even begin to set the hook. When I am vertical jigging with braided line, I can actually feel it when a fish brushes against my line. You can’t get that kind of sensitivity with nylon lines. The two most common types of braid are fourstrand and eight-strand. Four strand braid is flatter, usually more abrasive, and performs better
on casting or conventional reels. When vertical jigging, four-strand braid such as Power Pro is my preferred braid for its hauling power. Eightstrand braid, such as Daiwa Samurai, is round, typically thinner than four-strand, softer, and performs better on spinning reels. Eight-strand casts noticeably farther and is less likely to groove the tip of my rods. Wind knots are the most common problem plaguing anglers who use braid with spinning reels. The line is so thin that it can become loose on the spool and knot up during a cast. Before making a See moore on 33

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common occurrence and repeated all too often. Two or three people meet and chat about their love for making great beer. They brew a few batches together and their results are better than expected. They are pumped and decide to go into business togetherâ&#x20AC;¦ and this happens all the time. Some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed but sometimes, others get lucky. Or better yet, they flourish! Burnt Timber Brewing was just licensed earlier this year to open their nano brewery in Wolfeboro, NH. Being a small batch craft brewery, their outcomes are often exclusive and very creative. Attention to detail and opting for a tweak in a recipe to make a difference is generally the preferred method.

Each year, we get asked the same questions regarding bats. There are many misconceptions about bats and, although not a bird, this winged creature is associated with many faults not of its own doing. Bats provide humans with many benefits. Bats eat millions of pounds of insects nightly, saving farmers millions of dollars in pesticides and saving the average homeowner a great deal of money in insect repellant and other expensive bug toxins. Because bats mate in the fall but do not become pregnant until spring, scientists have used certain hormones for birth control studies. Doctors have used the advanced sonar system in bats for work with the blind. Vampire bat saliva has been used in many studies to treat heart problems. Microbats that live in the tropics and eat fruit and drink nectar provide the environment with a pollination of key plant species. Without these bats, our tropical rain forests would never regenerate. There are approximately 40 different bat species of bats in North America. Worldwide, the number of
species increases to over 1,000. The greatest variety of bat species can be found in the tropical rain forests. Natural habitat for bats is becoming more and more scarce. A bat house will give a home to bats that would otherwise quickly die if they could not find a suitable home. The bats that live in your bat house are doing you a tremendous favor. Bats eat thousands of insects nightly during the warn seasons. Bats do not compete with birds, either for space or food. Bats and birds come out at different times to forage for food. Birds are out from sunrise to sunset, while bats are out from sunset to sunrise. Also, bats do not eat bird seed. Once a colony of bats has found your bat house, they will use that same house every year. In northern climates where bats hibernate, the bats will leave the bat house during the winter months and return to your bat house in the spring. Unlike bird houses with an entrance hole on the sides, a bat house is built to trap heat with the entrance at the bottom. Place your bat house as high up a tree, pole or house as possible facing the sun. Bats are attracted to any opening that traps heat, which explains their fondness for a louvered attic window. Enjoy your birds (and bats)!

At a Convention of delegates representing the State of New Hampshire to consider the proposed Constitution of the United States a statement of ratification was issued on June 21, 1788, establishing that constitution as the law of the land. You are in error, though, if you think that, after the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, that agreement on the adoption of a national constitution was a quick and easy endeavor. The citizens of New Hampshire had to debate and delay the issue before deciding. Nine of the thirteen colonies had to vote for ratification before the constitution became the country’s legal document. Delaware began the process in December of 1787, and, after seven other states had voted to approve, attention was focused on the New Hampshire Convention. The Convention first gathered in February of 1788 after the first eight had agreed to the proposed constitution. Interestingly, the larger and important states of New York and Virginia had not yet voted in favor of the document. Along with Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, and South Carolina had, in some cases by small margins, voted in the affirmative.

John Langdon. George Barstow, in his History of New Hampshire, wrote “ At this crisis…all eyes were directed to New Hampshire, as the state upon whose decision the fate of the constitution seemed in a great measure to depend. Its assent, on one hand, would settle the question in its favor; and its dissent, on the other, in the then divided state of public opinion, might create a popular impulse against it, fatal to its final success.” The convention assembled at Exeter and was made up by men who had
distinguished themselves in previous difficult years in New Hampshire, thus gaining the respect of the people. General John Sullivan was chosen as President of the Convention. John Pickering and Samuel Livermore are said to have been chief proponents of ratification, while Joshua Atherton of Amherst led the opponents efforts. There appears to be only one speech from the convention that has been preserved, and that was one against ratificaSee smith on 18

tion because there was in the constitution a statement that allowed slaves to be brought into the country. Under the “ Powers forbidden to Congress, Section 9 (1) we read “ The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.” There were several members who spoke supporting the clause in section 9, but , as we know from the preserved speech, of Mr. Atherton that he spoke in firm opposition. He argued that accepting the clause amounted to being “consenters to, and partakers in, the sin and guilt of this abominable traffic”. To illustrate his argument Atherton from Amherst presented a scenario of “manstealers”, as he labeled the slave traders, coming to our coast and capturing some or all of the inhabitants of Exeter. He pictured families being carried off together (or separately) and shipped to Africa or

and additions that Congress could add to the Constitution to protect the rights of the people “…against an undue Administration of the Federal Government.” They included rights not explicitly reserved for the Federal Government be reserved to the States, limiting the Federal Government’s ability to tax, that no Merchant Company be given exclusive advantages, banning Federal titles of Nobility, that no standing Army be kept in times of peace except with the consent of 3/4th of the members of each branch of Congress, that “ Congress shall make no laws touching Religion, or to infringe the rights of Conscience”, and “ Congress shall never disarm any citizen unless such as are or have been in Actual Rebellion.” The ratification notice was signed by John Sullivan, the President of the Convention, John Langdon, President of the State , by order of the Secretary of the Convention, John Calve, and Secretary of State, Joseph Pearson. According to historian Barstow the church in which the meetings were held was thronged with spectators and the celebration which followed the favorable outcome (to many) had only been exceeded by the reception of the Declaration of Independence.

some other part of the world. He said “ A parent is sold to one, a son to another, and a daughter to a third! Brother is cleft from brother, sister from sister, and parents from their darling offspring! Broken with every distress that human nature can feel…they are dragged into the last stage of depression and slavery…”. This objection to ratification, along with some other concerns, caused some to ask that the Convention be adjourned until June, a suggestion which was approved. There was apparently a more harmonious feeling when the convention met again in June, as, after four days, despite a movement for a second adjournment, a vote was taken and ratification of the Constitution was approved by a vote of 57 – 46. The New Hampshire Convention reported its action to Congress “…acknowledgeing with gratefull Hearts the goodness of the Supreme ruler of the Universe in affording the People of the United States in the Course of his Providence an Opportunity … of entering into a new Explicit and solemn contract…by assenting to & ratifying a new constitution, in Order to form a more perfect Union.” (Note: spelling, etc. theirs) The Convention did add some suggested changes

DEAR TIM: I own a summer cabin thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in my family for generations. My wife and I decided to make it our fulltime home. It needs lots of work, which I intend to do myself. One of the projects is relocating the front door. Is there any magic to framing a door in an existing wall? What are the biggest mistakes you see on jobs when a person installs a new front door? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be using a pre-hung door made by a major manufacturer. --Rick B., Bridgton, Maine

t $FMM t KXFMFDUSJD!NFUSPDBTU OFU A new opening has been made where a pre-hung front door will be installed. required to support the header beam. If the rough opening is 6 feet or less, you can get by with just one stud on each side of the opening next to the full-sized king studs that go from the bottom wall plate to the top wall plate. The cut studs that the beam rests on are often called jack studs. If the rough opening is wider than 6 feet, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need two jack studs on each side of the opening. When you use two jack studs on each side, 3 inches of bearing is created on the pair of jack studs for the beam. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important that the rough opening studs are plumb in both directions and in the same
plane. The pre-hung door comes from the factory square, and it needs to be installed so the frame is not twisted. If you twist the doorframe, the door will not seal tightly against the weather stripping. If the rough opening is twisted because the wall studs are not plumb in both directions, side to side and front to back, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with a twisted opening. Be sure you create a 1/2-inch gap on the two sides and the top of the door for your rough opening. You need this gap to shim the door, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the roof load touching the top of the door frame. One of the biggest misSee builder on 20

takes you can make is not having the top of the beam across the door high enough off the rough floor. All too often, carpenters forget about the thickness of the finished flooring. You want the bottom of the pre-hung door threshold to be at the same level as the top of the finished flooring. This gives you plenty of room so the swinging door does not catch on a throw rug you may have on the floor in front of the door. I always cut a piece of 3/4-inch plywood and screwed that to the rough subfloor before setting my exterior doors in place. This raised them up the proper height for 95 percent of the finished floors on my jobs. Before you start to install the door, take a few minutes to read and fully understand the written installation instructions that come with the door. Pay attention to the types and locations of the fasteners the manufacturer says to use with the door. Be sure you use a flashing pan under the door or fabricate your own flashing using the membrane tapes made for this purpose. Keep in mind that this flashing must be installed so any water that
gets under the door flows back to the outside of your home. You live where it gets quite cold, so air infiltration around and under the door is very important. Once you have the door installed, use one of the newer expanding foams to seal out air leaks. Be sure to use the foam that’s made for doors and windows. It doesn’t expand enough to bend and distort the doorframe, causing the door to bind. I also prefer to use the newer membrane tapes on the outside of the wall to help seal water and air leaks. The tape should stick to the exterior wall sheathing or water barrier, cross over the 1/2inch gap between the door and rough framing and then extend onto the doorframe. Be sure the tape can’t be seen once the finish trim is installed around the doorframe. If your door has factoryinstalled brick mold trim, avoid the temptation to just let that lap over the exterior wall sheathing and then nail through the brick mold trim to hold the door in place. Long fasteners need to extend through the doorframe into the rough wall framing. This is always covered
in great detail in the written instructions. When doing demolition, don’t do what I see happen on many of the home improvement cable TV shows. Don’t blindly batter the exterior wall with a sledge hammer to relieve your inner frustration. You have no idea what’s inside a wall. Remove the inner wall surface and inspect what you’re up against. My guess is you’ll probably encounter some electrical cables that have to be moved. Lastly, when you go select the lumber for the new opening, look for nice, straight pieces. It’s best if you can look at the ends of the wall studs and beams; try to find ones where you see the center of the tree and the first rings of growth. These pieces of lumber are usually quite stable and will not warp or twist over time. Need an answer? All of Tim’s past columns are archived for free at www. AsktheBuilder.com.

were face to face. I had to do everything I could to keep from gagging, he obviously hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a bath in months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think you are going to take my Unobtanium, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got another thing coming,â&#x20AC;? said the Wolfman. Unobtanium! Of course, I thought to myself. That is why he has been chasing the train for all these years, he thinks that people are out to take over his Unobtanium mine. I needed to convince him that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there to do that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just lost,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a newspaper reporter and I was just on my way to Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to do a story and I took a wrong turn. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all. I was just trying to figure my way back.â&#x20AC;? I could feel my heart beating as the Wolfman got even closer, his nose almost touching mine. His breath smelling like a freshly eaten roadkill sandwich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A newspaper reporter?â&#x20AC;? He said staring straight into my eyes. It was a tense few sec-
onds, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I was going to get out of there in one piece, or even a few pieces. Then the Wolfman stepped back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make you a deal,â&#x20AC;? said the Wolfman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You do a story about me in your newspaper and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to get back.â&#x20AC;? What could I do? I had no choice. It was either write a story about the
Great Waters Music Festival presents
Wolfman or maybe spend the rest of my life trapped in the deep woods with him. The smell alone would do me in in a matter of days. I reached into my back pocket. The Wolfman lifted his rifle and then lowered it when he saw I was only getting out my notebook. He pointed to a couple of old tree stumps. See wolfman on 28

I sat at one, he on the other. Fortunately he was now upwind from me. He began by telling me about when he was younger and where he grew up and his childhood and all of that, but there isn’t enough space in this article to get into any of that. He told me how about forty years ago he came across the Unobtanium mine in the woods next to Clark’s and how he was convinced that it would secure his fortune and he’d soon be able to move on as a rich man. “The people at Clark’s keep sending people here on that train to try and take the claim away from me,” said the Wolfman. “Every day they come by five or six times a day and I’m so busy chasing them off that I don’t have time See wolfman on 29

The Wolfman actually posed for this picture when he was told publishing it might make people see he means business.
“Scared of soap too,” he told me. I was back on my stump when the Wolfman came back. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn’t going to calm down anytime soon. Deep down he seemed like a decent guy. I even watched him share some nuts and berries with the chipmunks and squirrels, but his uncontrollable temper would never get him anywhere. I needed to think fast and

to work the mine.” I didn’t have the nerve to tell him that they were all just trying to enjoy a relaxing train ride over the 1904 covered bridge and not steal his Unobtanium, but I didn’t think I could convince him. I just wanted to hear him out, get the story and get out of there. As he talked, I started to feel a bit sorry for the Wolfman. “I don’t like people much,” he said. “But I wish sometimes I could just talk to a few. I think that I get angry because I’m lonely out here. I’m always telling people on the train that they can stay and work with me, but no one ever does. We could work the mine together. I don’t mind sharing a little. I wouldn’t mind finding me a wife either.” He also told me that the folks at Clark’s would occasionally send him some chocolate and food to try and appease him. He said he appreciated that. I thought for a second that there might have been a tear in his eye, but that quickly changed as a train whistle could be heard in the distance. The Wolfman jumped from his stump, grabbed his shotgun and got into his rusted old Whippet Race Car that looked to me it was about from the 1940s. (I think that old classic might have more value than anything he

Revving the engine, he took off through the woods, the veins bugling on his neck, and began screaming “GET OFF MY LAND” as he disappeared from site. I walked far enough to get a good look through the trees, but far enough away so as not to be seen by anyone on the train. I watched the Wolfman attempt in vain to blow up the train and then chase it further down the tracks yelling and screaming. I was beginning to understand why no one ever took him up on his offer to stay and help. As the train headed back towards Clark’s, the Wolfman tried to set off a couple of bombs, but things didn’t go as planned. The Wolfman would follow no further than the bridge since it was a well known fact he was scared of the water.
get out of there. “Every time I chase that train away I think that’s the end of it, but they keep on coming back, This time I’m pretty sure that they won’t be back anymore. I scared ‘em real good,” he said with what might pass for a smile for him but for the rest of us a scowl. “Maybe if I can get this story out about you people might see you in a new light,” I said. “Maybe I can show them you’re not a bad guy after all and they will leave you alone.” “You think so?” he said. “Do you think that I can make them see that I just want to be left to tend my mine and not have to worry all the time about someone stealing it? I love nature and the beauty of all of it and all I want to do is live here and do some mining. I’d like them to understand that.”

The meeting quickly came to a halt once the Wolfman heard the train whistle. wolfman from 29
“I’ll do my best,” I said. It almost came to a handshake between us, but we were interrupted by another train whistle. The Wolfman let out a scream, grabbed his shotgun and jumped into his Whippet and was off screaming “GET OFF OF MY LAND.” While he went on his rampage again, I decided to get in my car and take my chances. As I headed aimlessly down the dirt path, I heard a couple of explosions and then a chorus of “SCRAM YOU OLD GOAT” from the train passengers. I felt sorry for the Wolfman, but I still had a job to do. I kept on going until I miraculously found myself at the entrance to Clark’s Trading Post. I couldn’t tell you how to get back to the Wolfman’s den if my life depended on it. I needed to collect myself as well after that adventure, so I bought a ticket to Clark’s and went inside. It struck me as ironic that the Wolfman lived so close to such a great
attraction with plenty of things to do and people to talk to, but he would just spend the rest of his days living alone in the woods and chasing those trains. There’s the half hour trained bear shows that have been a staple of Clark’s since 1949, the Yandong Chinese Acrobatic Troop shows, Merlin’s Mystical Mansion, the crazy contraptions at Tuttle’s Rustic House, the blaster boats and the climbing tower, the new Segway Park and Safari and the new Anaconda Escape Water Slide Ride and more. All of these great attractions placed against the backdrop of a quaint Main Street filled with an eclectic mix of shops, eateries and museums. There was a whole days worth of entertainment. Maybe if the Wolfman could just find the courage to cross that bridge one time and come over to Clark’s and have a little fun, maybe he’d lose that temper and calm down some. Maybe even find a couple of new friends. See wolfman on 31

cast, quickly inspect the spool to make sure there are no small loops peaking up from underneath the line. Once you make your cast, close the bail by hand rather than cranking the reel. Cranking the reel causes the line to whip around the spool loosely. Then, lift the rod tip as high as you can to pull your line tight, and then reel down to your normal fishing position. This will greatly reduce the number of wind knots, if not eliminate them all together. I used to fish only with monofilament and copolymer lines. Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to it, I prefer braided line. Fishing with braid may take a little getting used to, and you may even have moments when you question your decision to try it, but most anglers seem to think the benefits exceed the drawbacks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit, it is high maintenance, but the castability and sensitivity of braid almost always equates to more fish hooked, and more fish caught.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was very dedicated to coaching,â&#x20AC;? recalled Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spent a lot of time studying the game, working at camps, going to clinics, watching film, and spending time with other coaches. I had a note pad next to my chair when I watched games on TV. I did something basketball related almost every single day of my career.â&#x20AC;? Dedicated indeed. But tellingly, some of Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fondest memories were not from the gymnasium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of my best coaching moments were in my car on the way home after a great practice,â&#x20AC;? recalled Jeff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing players really improve made my day.â&#x20AC;? Yes, those intrinsic rewards ARE incalculable. Now Jeff will finally have time to really improve HIS golf handicap. If he takes on golf with the same dedication that he did coaching, then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have many more of those happy moments driving home in his car. PAT HEAD SUMMITT AND JEFF HOLMES The sports world was recently diminished by the death of legendary University of Tennessee womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head basketball coach Pat Head Summitt. Her 1,098 career wins are the most in NCAA basketball history and her Lady Volunteers won eight NCAA championships. Summittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivalry with UConn womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach Geno Auriemma was one of the best in sports, although Auriemma eventually surpassed her with UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 NCAA titles. Pat Head was the captain of the first U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic team, which won a medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. That squad featured legendary players like Nancy Lieberman and Ann Meyers. The aforementioned Jeff Holmes shared that those 1976 Olympian hoopsters stopped in upstate New York en route to Montreal. Coach Billie Jean Moore was looking for a scrimmage opportunity to help her team stay sharp before playing powerhouses from the Soviet Union and Japan. As Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad Ray was one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most
respected coaches, he was contacted about putting together a solid team of local All-Stars. Not surprisingly, the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; squad included Jeff, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just graduated from high school. So how did the game go? Jeff claimed his guys beat the Olympians and that he scored 16 points. Hmmmmm. Yeah, sure. So given the wonders of this information age, I accessed an on-line copy of the July 14, 1976, Plattsburgh Press-Republicanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which confirmed that such a game actually occurred. Of the U.S. Olympic teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to Plattsburg Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Hall, sportswriter Andy Armstrong reported that â&#x20AC;&#x153;The distaff dozen gave a local collection of All-Stars all they could handle before bowing 94-89.â&#x20AC;? Wow. Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team DID beat the Olympians. And a box score confirmed that Holmes indeed had 16 points while Meyers had ten and Lieberman eight for the Olympians. Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account described the fantastic outside shooting of 5-foot-10 Pat Head, a forward from Tennessee, who during the first half buried four straight 15footers. Perhaps Jeff was covering her during this stretch! Anyway, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the Internet, it must be true. Jeff Holmes: Great story. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your retirement. Pat Head Summitt: RIP. Sports Quiz What ice hockey Hallof-Famer came out of retirement and played three more NHL seasons after his induction? (Answer follows) Born Today ...

in East Africa. Asia/Pacific This was an interesting contest with Kazakhstan facing the Kingdom of Thailand. In past years U.S.-aligned Thailand would have been a slam dunk but there’s a new dynamic. Thailand has faced political turmoil and Bangkok’s military government did not seem to really press the case. Kazakhstan, an ex-Soviet state, however played a tough political game reinforced by a glitzy lobbying effort right down to the wire with a black tie gala for diplomats and friends at New York’s posh Plaza Hotel the night before the vote. Kazakhstan topped Thailand 138-55 votes. The huge resource-rich Kazah landmass is a regional player in Central Asia but is ruled by the authoritarian government of Nursultan Nazarbayev, who’s been in power since independence from Moscow in 1991. Kazakistan’s emerging economy has long been a nexus for investors and a bailiwick for Clinton Foundation activities more than a decade ago. This will be the first time Kazakhstan serves on the Council; yet the country’s record on human rights and press freedoms is sadly abysmal. Latin America This was an almost tag team effort; When Venezuela vacates the seat on the Council in January, it shall be replaced by Bolivia, an ideological comrade. The Plurinational State of Bolivia, led by the eccentric socialist Evo Morales won unopposed. My question is why didn’t Washington cause some mischief and encourage another competing candidate? Back in 2008, there were 48 rounds of voting between between Guatemala and Venezuela which ended up with Panama winning as the compromise candidate. Western Europe and Others. The famous WEOG group which Canada, Israel, and New Zealand are among its members, had opening for two seats to replace Spain and New Zealand. There were three candidates; Italy, Nether-
lands and Sweden. Here’s where it got interesting. In the first round in the General Assembly, Sweden won a convincing majority. Then came a series of ballots where neither Italy nor the Netherlands could gain the required 127 vote majority. Both were hovering at about 95 each. Italy and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, allies and friends in both the European Union and NATO stood at a political precipice; indecisive knockdown ballots would cause political friction. The Foreign Ministers of Italy and the Netherlands decided on a grand bargain; split the two year tenure with a deal allowing for one year for each country to serve on the Council. Both are eminently qualified. Italy for example is the European Union’s largest contributor to peacekeeping. The Netherlands offers a noble effort in global humanitarian aid. What do these changes mean for U.S. policy when the countries assume their posts in January along with a still to be decided UN Secretary General and new American President? For Africa, Ethiopia replacing Angola is a plus. Latin America’s unopposed choice is a draw though Bolivia is prone to bizarre theatrics. For Asia, pro-U.S. Malaysia moves over to Kazakistan. This is a complex draw. Western Europe sees two close allies, New Zealand and Spain, whose positive tenure on the Council will be missed, being replaced by Sweden and the split decision of Italy and Netherlands. All positives. Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom stated after the session, “With 40 conflicts and 11 full blown wars, it is a very, very worrisome world that we have to take into account.” So let’s get working on solving these crises!

dents with that kind of ability that we can afford to sacrifice them on the altar to political correctness. Such negative consequences of mismatching minority students with institutions, for the sake of racial body count, have been documented in a number of studies, most notably “Mismatch,” a book by Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor, Jr., whose sub-title is: “How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won’t Admit It.” When racial preferences in student admissions in the University of California system were banned, the number of black and Hispanic students in the system declined slightly, but the number actually graduating rose substantially. So did the number graduating with degrees in tough subjects like math, science and engineering. But hard facts carry no such weight among politicians as magic words like “diversity” -- a word repeated endlessly, without one speck of evidence to back up its sweeping claims of benefits. It too is part of the Supreme Court fraud, going back to a 1978 decision that seemingly banned racial quotas -- unless the word “diversity” was used instead of “quotas.” Seeming to ban racial preferences, while letting them continue under another name, was clever politically. But the last thing we need in Washington are nine more politicians, wearing judicial robes. Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

access to healthcare. Maybe the number of cancer screenings and prenatal services decreased because demand decreased. But it is precisely the context that makes Mr. Sununuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote not just puzzling, but inexcusable. Planned Parenthood operates just 5 centers in New Hampshire, all in the southern third of the state. They all offer limited healthcare services, and of the 5, only 2 provide abortions. In contrast, there are 52 federally-qualified health centers (FQHC) providing a full range of health services, operating from the seacoast to the north country.
It gets worse for Executive Councilor Sununu. According to the Congressional Research Service, while both PP and FQHCs provide family planning and contraceptive services, only FQHCs provide comprehensive primary care, dental, and behavioral health services. PPAHCs and FQHCs â&#x20AC;&#x153;serve a diverse, but disadvantaged populationâ&#x20AC;? but PP focuses services on â&#x20AC;&#x153;individuals of reproductive ageâ&#x20AC;? while FQHCs provide services to â&#x20AC;&#x153;individuals throughout their lifetimeâ&#x20AC;?. In 2014, â&#x20AC;&#x153;31% of FQHC patients were children and 8% were age 65 and overâ&#x20AC;?. As for demand, FQHCs served more than sev-
enty thousand Granite Staters last year. Here and nationally, demand for health services, including prenatal care, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;disadvantaged populationsâ&#x20AC;?, has gone up even as PP provides less care but more abortions. With the family name, Mr. Sununu may think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already running in the general election and can safely ignore the many GOP primary voters who care about the rights of the unborn and believe in the principles of fiscal conservatism, which starts with a pledge to spend our money wisely. Mr. Sununuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook posting after the vote read in part: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To-
dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote will provide $549,000 in funding for important health services for nearly 12,000 New Hampshire women and families, including cancer screenings and STI testing and treatment.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, there was a much better option, but Mr. Sununu seems more interested in catering to generalelection voters who are unlikely to vote for him. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the very definition of a RINO. Ken can be reached at kengorrell@gmail.com

The Museum accomplishes its mission through careful preservation and thoughtful display of its extensive permanent collection of 1939 - 1945 items; thereby building a reputation as a national repository for historically significant WWII items and memorabilia. Unique to traditional WWII museums, the over 14,000 items in our collection are representative of both the home front and the battle field. These irreplaceable items, together with fully operational military vehicles, introduce visitors to a seminal period in American history. Just as importantly, the Museum places the period into historical context by illustrating the enduring legacy of Americans known today as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the greatest generation.â&#x20AC;?
