This year’s Antique and Classic Boat Show poster by Peter Ferber is set at Downing’s Landing at the tip of Alton Bay and shows an assortment of Lyman boats, the marque being featured at the Show, Saturday, July 27th, at the Meredith Town Docks from 9am-3pm. Lyman boats were built in Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie, and their design reflects a practical beauty and seaworthiness demanded by the Great Lakes weather. This made them a good choice for Winnipesaukee. They were very popular here from the 1940s thru the 60s, and Downing’s was the sole dealership on the lake. The Downing family’s long role in the history of this area has been well-covered in recent Weirs Times feature stories. Though no longer made, Lymans remain a popular brand today, and everyone seems to have had one in their family at some point!

The Greater Meredith Program Promotions Committee will host a family fun event “Drop Anchor on Main Street!” on Saturday, July 27th. Starting at 9 am in Hesky Park, in conjunction with the Antique Boat Show, the GMP will conduct a raffle for great prizes. Shep Brown’s Boat Basin has donated a shrink wrap for an up to 26 foot boat valued at $350.00. Y-Landing Marina’s donations are Gift Certificates for Tune-Up/ Detailing service. EKAL

Their schooner “Munteyn Top” has now made four trips from New Hampshire to The Bahamas and the couple has a variety of stories to tell. The couple will recount the process of the actual building of the boat from the first thought before a piece of lumber was even purchased to the launching of the vessel at the Portsmouth Navy Yard. “I was always into boat building,” said Dennis. “Growing up in Pennsylvania I used watch my dad as he built a flatbottom skiff.” When he got out of the Army in 1970, Dennis bought a 19-foot wooden sailboat and took it on Lake Erie. “I was with some friends and no one really knew

Most people start thinking about retirement a couple of years before they are actually there. Dennis Caldwell started thinking about it ten years before and his planning wasn’t just in making sure his stock portfolio and savings were in place, it was using that time to build a 34-foot Schooner and spend most of his retirement travelling upon the open sea. Joining Dennis in this unique retirement was his partner, Judy Perrier. On Wednesday, July 31st at 7pm, Judy and Dennis will be telling their story in a special presentation at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in the Weirs.

Lucky Man To The Editor: To my very, very generous Lake Winni and Lake Shore Park friends. On Saturday, July 20th, I think I became the luckiest person I have ever met at 7am, on a sinking boat out in the Broads. Kathy, my wife, had fortunately decided not go for a ride. A fantastic unknown at this point. A waterski family raced over, got me a rope to tie to the boat as it went down, pulled me out of the water, called 911, GPS’d the boat’s location and sat with the boat their whole morning. A second generous ski boat family brought me back to LSP to get my dive gear to retrieve the wreck. My brothers, Frank and Randy, as always, were already on their way to the scene. My good neighbor, Mike Fournier, was woken from a sound sleep, into his boat already en route. My always overly helpful friends, Tommy and Richard Madden quickly came with Tom’s brand new TriToon to use as a retrieval base. The Dept. Of Safety Officer, Phil Carpenter and The Alton Fire Rescue Crew remained the whole time for support while staying clear and letting us work. I can’t even remember ow many other LSP friends showed up with their boats to offer help, all truly appreciated. I do remember returning up from down deep in full scuba gear to meet Aqua-

Our Story

man Murphy, in no gear, swimming down to help rig the wreck (must have gills.) After Frank, Randy, and Richard towed the wreck all miles in to Baby Beach, ten or fifteen other great friends waited for the truck and trailer and loaded the boat for me. Tommy proceeded to stay with me for another hour or two and actually got the motor running again. If I have forgotten to name any helper, I am sorry. But there were so many, the sense of community is absolutely mindboggling. Thank you so much. I am so lucky. Gary Cook

Northern Pass Pamphlet To The Editor: On Saturday, the mail carrier dropped off a professionally produced trifold pamphlet titled “We’ve Listened” that was distributed by The Northern Pass. Perhaps you received one too, or will soon. You can’t miss its friendly pastel green and blue colors. I was intrigued by the opening paragraph being a writer myself. Remember your mom reading to you Little Red Riding Hood? Or have you ever heard the saying, “A half truth is a whole lie.”? Let’s take some of the exact text from the pamphlet and add the missing text. I’ll put the missing text in all CAPS so there’s no confusing the two. Here

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.

we go: “The Northern Pass is a proposed Almost Entirely An Overhead transmission project that would bring clean, low-cost hydroelectric power from Quebec, Canada into New Hampshire Where It Will Then Be Sent Down To Homeowners And Businesses In Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island And New York. You Folks In New Hampshire Don’t Need Electricity Because You Produce Plenty For Yourselves. Your Current High Electric Rates Will Not Drop Significantly Because We’re Selling Our Cheap Electricity To Your Neighbors. This project is a partnership between Public Service of New Hampshire’s parent company, Northeast Utilities, and its Canadian energy supplier, Hydro-Quebec A $12 Billion Dollar A Year Company.” When you open the pamphlet to page two, there’s more soft and gooey language. It’s important to note they keep saying the words region or regional because truth be told New Hampshire is just a tool. Hydro-Quebec needs to come through New Hampshire to be able to sell its juice to all the other states to the south of us. Their wording in the pamphlet is designed to make us feel GUILTY if we don’t act like good neighbors. (Throatclearing noise.) Here’s some additional text from the pamphlet: “ .... burn fossil fuel that See mail boat on 33

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Improving My Stock

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Let’s face it. Flatlanders are my bread and butter; my golden egg. Ever since I wrote my first column on adjusting to life here in New Hampshire as a Flatlander from New York, I have become a voice for those like me; an advocate for my fellow Flatlanders. I became the go-between when it came to Flatlander/ Native relations. When I first moved here, these relations weren’t always great. There was always a lot of animosity between the two. The ratio between Natives and Flatlanders was getting narrower and a lot of the natives didn’t like that one bit. There were some ugly incidents, like the now legendary “Dump Day Massacre” back in the early 1990s when a crowd of natives chased a group of Flatlanders, who were, in all fairness, not used to proper dump etiquette and were actually trying to throw things away instead of sifting through the piles of junk to see what they could take home. The state police were called when the Flatlanders were forced out of the dump and into oncoming traffic by the group who had picked up any rusty old piece of metal they could find lying around, and there were many. The incident caught my attention and I went to the scene. Calling up some folks in the news business,

I held a press conference, with a few of the Flatlanders next to me. I made it clear that this kind of social bigotry could not continue. Well, it caused quite a stir and I became called on more and more to not only investigate incidents concerning Flatlanders and Natives, but I was also asked to appear on numerous TV shows and alike. My fame, and my pocketbook grew larger. (I really don’t carry a pocketbook, that’s just an expression. Seriously.) It started to become very lucrative. Over the years, relations between Flatlanders and Natives became less volatile. Most of them had learned to live in peace with each other. It made things up here a little less stressful. It also caused me to take a big hit. My Flatlander stock was fading. I was becoming more insignificant and useless and, more importantly, my pocketbook was getting smaller since no one saw the need to consult me as an expert on the matter since there weren’t many. Of course, there were always a few isolated incidents where Natives and Flatlanders clashed. It was human nature. But none of them were big enough to make a stink about. Still, I was, and still am, always on the lookout for a situation where I can use my dwindling celebrity to try and stir the pot so as to make it seem like the Native/Flatlander war is very much alive. It was a matter of my own survival. Just last week, I went down to the local hardware store to protest the owner who had asked a Flatlander, who had just purchased a power tool, if he “knew how to use the thing properly.”

Some might say that it is a fair question, something he might ask to anyone, even a fellow Native. But, to me, it was a slap in the face against all Flatlanders. We were, I obligingly told the few news crews that showed up, being profiled, we wouldn’t stand for it and that it set back Flatlander/Native relations by a decade. It worked, a little. It got me attention and some air time. I appeared on a few shows for a few bucks and the mortgage was paid for another month. Not all Flatlanders agreed with me. Some got mad and claimed I was the reason these relations were being put into reverse. It was my own constant need for attention and finding things where there weren’t any that was keeping the fire lit. Does that make me angry? Of course not, it just helps keep my profile high, my head above water and a few more bucks rolling in. I’m not always proud of what I do; even I admit I have made some mountains of out of molehills, like the infamous incident of the Flatlander who was told “You can’t get there from here” when it was very obvious she could. It wasn’t my proudest moment, but it helped me to buy some Christmas presents for the family. Keeping my Flatlander profile alive is a full-time job and I will always be on the lookout for injustices, whether real or not, to help me with my selfish cause. You can follow Brendan’s detective mystery “The Case of The Missing Flatlander” at www.foolinnh.com. His new book “The Flatlander Chronicles” will be published very soon.

— OFF THE SHELF — Along For The Ride by Debby Montague Entertainment Correspondent

Along For The Ride A Blind Goddess, James R. Benn, Soho Crime, September 3, 2013 “We had grown up, Tree and I, and the troubles of the world had come along for the ride.” – Captain Billy Boyle If you are already a fan of James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle World War II mysteries you won’t want to miss A Blind Goddess, Billy’s latest ride, and if you haven’t yet taken the ride, it’s time you did The eighth entry in James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle World War II Mysteries finds Billy back in England. Newly promoted Captain Billy Boyle is due for a leave, and he is planning to spend some time with his girlfriend, Diana Seaton, at her family home in England. But it’s March 1 9 4 4 a nd England is full of Americans, full of plans, and full of secrets. Billy has a request from an old friend from Boston, Sergeant Eugene “Tree” Jackson, a member of the 617th, a Negro Tank Destroyer Battalion.

Tree wants Billy to investigate the murder of a local policeman who was allegedly killed by Tree’s gunner, Angry Smith. Billy wants to help his old friend, and, if he can, sooth old wounds between them, but he also wants to spend time with his girl, Diana, who had

been held by the Gestapo in Rome not long ago. The troubles of the world have indeed come along on Billy’s ride and navigating the road doesn’t get easier. Shortly after General Eisenhower, Billy’s uncle, pins the captain’s bars

on his uniform, Billy is ordered to assist in the investigation of the death of an English mortgage clerk whose body is discovered by a US Air Force sergeant. Billy’s orders come down from MI5, so not only does Billy have two murders to investigate, one by orders and one by friendship, but he’s caught up in a morass of spies. Benn’s writing is crisp and descriptive as it always is, and his research, again as always, is impeccable. I have probably mentioned when reviewing his earlier Billy Boyle novels that I think they should be on a reading list for high school and college students studying World War II. Benn’s mysteries depend not only on the big historical scenes but on lesser and nearly unknown aspects, too. In A Blind Goddess the big scene – the coming invasion – is interwoven with the treatment of black soldiers by other American soldiers and by the English people and the role of the Twenty Committee during the war. It’s not only the characters and the plot that

From The State House

Eric Holder’s Stand Your Ground Squirrel “Monopoly” – Granite State Future Plays the Game!

The truth about Granite State Future (GSF) has been flowing lately. GSF is a massive state-wide planning initiative funded by Federal agenby Rep. Jane Cormier cies with UNBelknap District 8 ELECTED officials making all the decisions which affect our private property rights. There is NO oversight by the elected officials including Governor, State Senators, or House Representatives. Appointed bureaucrats are making all the decisions. Just like in Monopoly, you could lose a deed or two in this most serious of games. A few constituents recently contacted me regarding the LRPC being non communicative con-

cerning their questions about GSF. I decided to attend a recent LRPC meeting in an attempt to meet Mr. Jerry Coogan, Special Projects Manager for LRPC, as he was the official in question. As Mr. Coogan stood to leave the room near the end of the meeting, I quietly approached and introduced myself. Mr. Coogan was not very receptive to say the least. In fact, he walked right past my outstretched hand, moved to the door, and gestured saying, “…we need to go outside.” Once outside, he tersely asked, “What group are you from?” Rather taken aback, I then told him I was “not from any group” but was a state representative who wanted to confirm his contact information as some constituents have not been able to reach him. All of a sudden, Mr. Coogan was very solicitious.

Welcome to the Obama administration’s cringeinducing non sequitur of the week. On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder by Michelle Malkin c o n t i n u e d Syndicated Columnist s t o ki n g t h e fires of racial resentment over a Florida jury’s acquittal of George Zimmerman. In an address to NAACP leaders, who are demanding federal intervention, Holder attacked Stand Your Ground self-defense laws. All together now: Squirrel! “Separate and apart from the (Trayvon Martin) case that has drawn the nation’s attention, it’s time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of selfdefense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods,” Holder opined. He then baselessly claimed that such laws are creating “more violence than they prevent” and used his platform to promote citizens’ “duty to retreat.” So, what exactly do Stand Your Ground laws have to do with Zimmerman and Martin? Absolutely nothing, of course. Outside your own home, common principles of self-defense dictate that unless you have reasonable fear of deadly force or harm, you must flee if possible rather than use deadly force. But a “duty to retreat” rests on the ability to retreat. And “duty to retreat” was irrelevant in Zimmerman’s case because -- pinned to the ground with Martin on top of him, bashing his head on the concrete -- he was unable to retreat. This didn’t stop the NAACP crowd from cheering their heads off when Holder tossed out his red meat. Holder’s racial-grievance-

mongering agenda has also been bolstered by media propaganda outlets, who’ve been dutifully bashing Stand Your Ground regardless of the facts. The New York Times, for example, falsely claimed in an editorial preceding Holder’s speech that the jury “reached its verdict after having been asked to consider Mr. Zimmerman’s actions in light of the now-notorious Stand Your Ground provision in Florida’s selfdefense law.” Rolling Stone made a similarly inflammatory claim, calling Martin a “victim of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.” All nonsense. The jury received standard instructions. Zimmerman did not invoke the Stand Your Ground provision. Zimmerman later waived his right to a pretrial immunity hearing under the Stand Your Ground procedures. And as National Review’s Sterling Beard points out, “The only time Stand Your Ground came up during the trial proper was when a prosecution witness stated that he’d taught a class Zimmerman had attended that covered Stand Your Ground.” Even the prosecution rejects the cynical attempt to tie Martin’s death to Stand Your Ground. Prosecutor John Guy couldn’t have made it clearer during the trial: “This case is not about standing your ground.” During their posttrial press conference, as conservative talk show host Victoria Taft first noted, a Miami Herald reporter asked the prosecution team specifically whether Stand Your Ground “affected the facts in this case and whether this case could have been won, perhaps, pre the changes in the law.” Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda replied: “You know, self-defense has existed for a long time. And

Syria Descends into the Inferno UNITED NATIONS— T h e

situation in Syria has descended into a new level of Hell, as the civil war continues, refuby John J. Metzler gees fleeing Syndicated Columnist the country increase, and the fractured rebel groups have begun to turn on each other as much as fight the Assad family regime. The Security Council remains politically deadlocked and thus neutralized, while the UN relief agencies carry out outstanding humanitarian efforts despite the fighting and the searing Summer temperatures. The frenzied carnage of over 95,000 people killed in over two years of conflict have seen Syria’s slow but deliberate descent into the inferno. Now hovering over the chaos and destruction of this Mid East state, is the specter of an hard-line Islamist regime which may rise from the ashes. In the meantime refugees pour out of Syria and are internally displaced at an alarming rate. Antonio Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) warns that such refugee numbers has not risen “at such a frightening rate” since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. He stressed that the Syrian conflict has triggered the world’s worst refugee crisis for twenty years, with an average of 6,000 people fleeing every day in 2013. The UN’s humanitarian aid chief Valerie Amos states that at least 6.8 million Syrians need urgent assistance. Neighboring Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have taken the brunt of the humanitarian spillover. There are few angels in the Syrian civil war. Contrary to the romanticized media template of a Mid-East morality play between a cruel dictator (Assad is) and virtuous freedom fighters (probably the minority), the truth becomes increasingly blurred in the mirage of complicated ethnic politics, historic religious faultlines, and what has tragically become a show-

down between the USA/France and Russia/Iran. Syria has been an authoritarian but secular state under the Assad family since the 1960’s; the regime has long been a Soviet ally (now Russian), part of the rejectionist front against any peace deal with Israel, and a predatory power/occupier towards neighboring Lebanon. This is not a nice guy regime, nor I argue, an aspiring democracy. Given the fractious Islamic divide of Sunni and Alewite factions, the Christians, the Druze and the Kurds, such deep ethnic and religious fissures running throughout this historic land, could see Syria descend into a patchwork of ethnic enclaves, militia fiefdoms, and terrorist havens. The Obama Administration’s muddled Mid-East policies have brought little strategic focus, more unanswered questions, and hopeless political illusions. While Washington is certainly correct not to engage militarily with boots on the ground in this imbroglio, Obama nonetheless has given assurances of American weapons to the rebel factions; the good guys, we assume, presume and hope. Though the French have been more politically and clandestinely militarily engaged in their former Levantine colony, this does not make Syria’s fight an American cause nor national interest, as I have long opined. Syria while an ancient land did not have its current national borders until the mid 1930’s when France formally created the country. The outcome of Syria’s conflict remains a clear cut Russian interest, (and Putin’s political burden), profoundly in Turkey’s national interest for opposite reasons, and most dangerously in Hezbollah’s interest (supporting Assad)and Al Qaida’s (trying to dominate the rebels). Samantha Power, the Obama Administration’s nominee as new American Ambassador to the UN told a Senate hearing that the UN’s failure to halt mass carnage in Syria is a “disgrace that history will judge harshly.” What Ms. Powers

overlooks is that the deadlock in the Security Council is not the fault of the UN per se but of a political impasse between the U.S./Britain and France versus Russia and to some degree China.

The sad point is there will be no winners now. The country has irreparable physical damage and psychological trauma. There’s plenty of blame to go around. It’s time for Syrians

See Metzler on 40

Is This Still America? There are no winners in the trial of George Zimmerman. The only question is whether the damage that has been done has been transient or irby Thomas Sowell reparable. Syndicated Columnist L e g a l l y speaking, Zimmerman has won his freedom. But he can still be sued in a civil case, and he will probably never be safe to live his life in peace, as he could have before this case made him the focus of national attention and orchestrated hate. More important than the fate of George Zimmerman, however, is the fate of the American justice system and of the public’s faith in that system and in their country. People who have increasingly asked, during the lawlessness of the Obama administration, “Is this still America?” may feel some measure of relief. But the very fact that this case was brought in the first place, in an absence of serious evidence

-- which became ever more painfully obvious as the prosecution strained to try to come up with anything worthy of a murder trial -- will be of limited encouragement as to how long this will remain America. The political perversion of the criminal justice system began early and at the top, with the President of the United States. Unlike other public officials who decline to comment on criminal cases that have not yet been tried in court, Barack Obama chose to say, “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” It was a clever way to play the race card, as he had done before, when Professor Henry Louis Gates of Harvard was arrested. But it did not stop there. After the local police in Florida found insufficient evidence to ask for Zimmerman to be prosecuted, the Obama administration sent Justice Department investigators to Sanford, Florida, and also used the taxpayers’ money to finance local activists who agitated for Zimmerman to be arrested. Political intervention did not end with the federal governSee Sowell on 40

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer

Our culture has a weird relationship with pain, discomfort, and injury. We have been taught to ignore it, push through it, or bury it. If someone is in pain and can keep functioning (although at a lesser level), we tend to view it as that individual being tough or having a high pain threshold. We see it has a badge of honor. When the pain becomes too much to tough out, we seek to silence it. So pain medicine, either over the counter or prescription, becomes the answer. We numb the pain so we can keep functioning. Yet, this route typically does not address the source, it addresses the symptom of pain. Here is what the issue amounts to in my mind: we see pain as the problem and its simply not true. Pain is the endgame of a problem, it is essentially your body’s “check engine light”. When your car dashboard lights up with that little indicator, you wisely don’t think the “check engine light” is the issue. You know that it means that there is an issue with the car, one you often cannot see and need to go see a professional to help you address. It seems silly to say, but what if the dash lit up and instead of ever addressing it, you instead, covered the “check engine light” with tape, so you couldn’t see it. Would the issue be resolved? Is your car fixed? Why do we do this with our bodies, then? When we ignore or artificially cover pain which is a warning signal from our body that stuff is not right, this is

what we are doing. What would your mechanic say to you if a tow truck had to bring your car in, when it finally and inevitably, broke down and he/she saw the tape blocking out your “check engine light”? Again, it seems funny, but this is what we do all the time when we visit our chiropractors, doctors, massage therapist, etc. I believe this happens, because we have culturally accepted pain as normal. This is true in the sense that pain is a normal physiological function and it is valuable as information from your body in signaling you to find underlying issues. It is not normal as a long term issue, daily issue, or if you have to take medicine daily simply to “function”. I believe that many people have become used to feeling so bad, that they don’t even remember what it is like to feel naturally good. It has become widely understood, that this is a major issue. When you see pain as the problem rather than as a natural guidance system, you will begin to see abuse occur. Reported by major news outlets (such as the BBC and ABC news) in the last year: the population of the USA makes up 5% of the worlds population , but consumes 80% of the world’s opiate based painkillers according to the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. That is insane. It’s scary stuff, as is this quote:

“Overdoses involving prescription painkillers are at epidemic levels and now kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined.” – Thomas Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Seems like the cost of our current way of thinking about health, is not efficient, cost-effective, safe, or results effective. I feel that every physician in every discipline, given the choice, would want to see their patients and the public in general, taking less pain medication. My challenge to you is to stop ignoring or covering your symptoms. If a problem crops up, then address it. If you have headaches, for example, find a cause not a cover up. Pain can be from issues in the spine, muscle/soft tissue problems, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, lack of sleep, chronic dehydration, etc. There are lots of things you can try before you accept pain or worse ignore it.

Boomers Turning 65 Face Complex Healthcare Choices Every day, about 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 and become eligible for Medicare. Not everyone will sign up, but it’s important to understand the importance of early choices when enrolling in Medicare for the first time. You can enroll in Medicare three months before turning 65, the month you turn 65 or up to three months afterward. “Turning 65 opens the door to Medicare eligibility, but it brings with it some complex choices,� says Paula Muschler, manager of the Allsup Medicare Advisor, a personalized Medicare plan selection service. “Choices "! ! !!!!!!!!!!!! seniors make at this time ! ! ! !!!!! can impact their healthcare !

for first-time enrollment, keeping in mind your current health needs and financial resources. If you choose traditional Medicare, you have an average of 31 Medicare Part D prescription drug plans from which to choose. You can also choose from 10 standard Medigap policies for supplemental coverage, ranging from basic to comprehensive coverage. The price for these plans also can differ from one company to the next. Adding to the complexity, Medigap plans are not required to accept you after your initial enrollment period. This is one reason first-time choices are crucial. Seniors evaluating Medicare Advantage plans over traditional Medicare also have an array of opSee boomers on 16

lowing key steps for Medicare first-timers. 1. Take a look at your existing group health plan coverage and think about how it will coordinate with Medicare. Many people work past age 65. As a result, Medicare-eligible individuals who have health coverage through their employer or their spouse’s employer may be able to wait to enroll in Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient medical care. This is not true in every case, however. This option depends on other factors, such as the size of the employer and how soon you expect to retire after reaching 65. You may want to consider enrolling in Medicare Part A, which includes hospital coverage, even if you defer Part B. 2. Consider the options

MAKOplasty Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery—Experience Matters Did you know, more than 46 million Americans suffer from joint pain in their hips or knees caused by arthritis? If you are one of those people, you don’t need anyone to tell you how disruptive joint pain is to your life, just ask Barbara Coons. Barbara is an active woman who enjoys cross country skiing, hiking and walking with friends. However, osteoarthritis was taking a toll on her joints, and it became clear she needed a hip replacement. “The pain in my hip and leg was just awful. I could no longer climb stairs in my home, and I had difficulty getting in and out of my car,” she recalls. Barbara tried medication and injection therapy with no relief. After dealing with increasing pain and interruption to her daily life, Barbara began researching the possibility of traditional hip replacement surgery. She worried it would mean a long, painful

recuperation, but her orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Jeremy Hogan suggested an alternative option; anterior hip replacement surgery, using the new state-of-the-art MAKOplasty® system. Anterior hip replacement surgery involves a smaller incision at the front of the hip instead of through the buttocks or the side of the hip. The approach involves less cutting into major muscle groups, and patients typically experience less pain and fewer complications than a standard posterior hip replacement. Conventional hip replacement, patients must limit hip motion for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery, and they must limit flexing of the hip, which complicates normal activities like sitting in a chair, putting on shoes or getting into a car. Dr. Hogan performed MAKOplasty® anterior hip surgery on Barbara at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia. LRGHealthcare is the first and only

healthcare system in New Hampshire to offer this innovative technology, and Barbara is amazed with the results. “I was back to work so quickly after the operation,” she shared. “And by the second week, I did not need to use a walker or a cane, and now only three months later, I am walking 3.5 miles a day with my friends—it really is remarkable.” Dr. Jeremy Hogan is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, fellowship trained in orthopaedic reconstruction and arthritis surgery. He is certified to do MAKOplasty® knee resurfacing and MAKOplasty® total hip replacement. Dr. Hogan is the only orthopaedic surgeon in the state of NH, and one of two surgeons in New England performing robot assisted direct anterior hip replacement surgery.

When choosing a joint replacement program, you want an experienced medical team. Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists in Franklin, Gilford and Meredith, and Dr. Arnold Miller at the Laconia Clinic are the first and only orthopedic team north of Boston to earn MAKOplasty certification and provide this revolutionary robotic procedure. The LRGHealthcare Joint Replacement Team of nurses, therapists and care managers collaborate with your surgeon in every aspect of your care, from helping you regain mobility and use of your new joint, to pain management and discharge planning of your rehabilitative care. Experience matters—choose a skilled, experienced surgeon and a healthcare facility you can trust. Learn more by visiting www.lrgh.org or www.advortho.org.

The revolution in joint replacement is here. Shouldnʼt you be? There’s a new approach happening in hip and knee replacement. One that promises a faster recovery, longer lasting mobility and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional joint replacement. It’s called MAKOplasty.® With 3D imaging technology our expert surgeons can conduct surgical preparation and implant placement with new precision. And new precision means a new lease on life for you.

place for decisions related to Part B and Part D coverage. The late-enrollment penalty is 10 percent for each full 12-month period you could have been enrolled in Part B. Likewise, Part D imposes a penalty if you go for more than 63 days without coverage after enrolling in Part B. “Your first-time Medi-

care plan choices also are more complicated if you have retirement dates, COBRA coverage or dependent coverage to consider,” Muschler says. “These are good reasons to contact a Medicare specialist, who can help answer the right questions and provide guidance to seniors so they make choices that match

their situations.” 4. Understand how higher income and changes in your income affect Medicare costs. Higher-income beneficiaries pay higher premiums for Medicare Part B and prescription drug coverage. For Part B, the 2013 monthly premium is $104.90 for joint filers with income of $170,000 or below ($85,000 for single filers). However, the premium increases to between $146.90 and $335.70 for those with incomes above these thresholds. Likewise, higher-income beneficiaries can expect to pay from $11.60 to $66.40 more each month in prescription drug premiums. The Social Security Administration uses IRS records when determining premiums. Social Security may reduce an individual’s income-related monthly premium with verification. “Social Security has specific requirements about how you can document changes in your income when you are requesting reduced Medicare premiums,” Muschler explains.

5. Review healthcare coverage for your spouse and dependents to determine how your choices may affect their coverage. If you are nearing Medicare eligibility, you can find yourself at a crossroads when it comes to providing healthcare for your entire family. Some employers may continue to provide coverage to a worker’s family, or you may need to purchase COBRA coverage or private coverage for family members. “One early step is to talk with your benefits plan administrator to see what options you may have and then plan for your family,” Muschler says. Seniors turning 65 have seven months during their initial enrollment period to make critical decisions. But you can begin evaluating your options earlier to be better prepared.

Barack, Were You There For Chris Cervini? To one of our loyal readers in the Littleton area; I cannot believe that your email (8/9) was not reby Niel Young Advocates Columnist sponded to by me! “Niel, As a reader of The Weirs Times for many years and a follower of your column I would like you to be sure you saw the letter to the editor in the August 2, 2012 edition by Warren Isleib Nashua, NH. “I would like to know what you think of this. So little correct information and the fact that those like him vote as they follow as the liberal media tells them too. Just 1 ‘fact’ he has wrong is that the elderly vote Democratic, since when?� First, thanks for reading this great weekly. This is another example of the reach of the Weirs Times-Nashua to Littleton. And, when possible (available space) we do print letters from folks who differ with those advocates for honest and open government across America. My grandmother (1904) and great Aunt (1890) brought me up. They were true Americans who ALWAYS VOTED REPUBLICAN. They were 2 of the 13 Young children living on Summer Street in Lancaster. That little house just before one enters the Lancaster cemetery was home to Aunt Lyla and husband Del Pilotte, 60+ years ago. Yes, I still have roots in the North Country. As for those folks who are dangerous to themselves and us, they need to listen to our radio

program (wezs.com). In addition to letters we do enjoy a discussion of the issues that affect our children and grandchildren. ******** NEWS: “Liz Cheney’s decision to jump into the Wyoming Senate race is threatening to bring an all- out generational war within the Republican Party. “Sen. Mike Enzi, immediately brought forward his announcement that he will seek a fourth term next year.� FRIEND OF NIEL: “My husband thinks I should not judge Liz Cheney because she is the daughter of a famous politician .Sorry, I am tired of Clinton , Bush and Cheney ......Let a commoner get in once.� Sen. Enzi has owned that seat for 18 years and obviously he believes, as so many do, this is his career. What has transpired in his time occupying that seat? Did Enzi vote as Ayotte did in keeping the train to amnesty going? What meaningful legislation has he sponsored? When has he been “the leader�? Generational, could it be that some of us older and wiser and those who are parents of young children see a terrible future ahead for those children? I agree that to have a “commoner� as president would be refreshing – cannot happen. The Elite Republicans are not open to that thinking. The Liberals are only interested in spending someone else’s money, immoral behavior, and abortion. Unfortunately, there are many who believe a Black and White American, a Community Organizer and World Agitator who hides his records of achievement, if they ex-

ist, is still the answer. I believe that George Zimmerman should be a free man. Give him his gun back. Barack Hussein Obama should ask the nation to move on. No, Barack, Eric Holder, Stevie Wonder, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others insist that the state of Florida be boycotted, and a few quiet type national protests should solve the problem of race relations. In the meantime so many other important matters remain unattended. Benghazi, ILLEGALS, Invaders, Amnesty for 11 million lawbreakers “in the shadows�, and let us not forget cutting the pay and amount of food for OUR military. I understand that promoting a race war is a priority, and a distraction at the right time, right Rahm? ******** USA Today referring to BHO: “He cited racial disparities in the criminal justice system, and how blacks tend to be charged more often with drug offenses and sentenced to longer prison terms than whites. He also said it’s fair to wonder what would have happened in Florida if the shooter had been a young AfricanAmerican. ******** Well, Barack, let’s talk about that, using a piece written by Michael Filozof at americanthinker. com March 2012. What would happen: if a black man armed with a handgun confronted ‘suspicious persons’ in his neighborhood and “suspicious persons� were unarmed white teens, one of them was shot dead, and the shooter claimed self-defense? No white mobs in the street chanting “No justice, no peace!� No whites See advocates on 40

NASCAR RACING IN LOUDON! While New Hampshire may not have any big league pro sports teams, it does have the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. And auto racing attracts more spectators than any other sport in America. So twice a year, when NHMS hosts a NASCAR Sprint Cup event, Loudon, N.H., becomes the Granite State’s version of Green Bay, Wisconsin—a small community temporarily transformed by sport into a Major League City. The stands in Loudon can accommodate around 110,000 fans, more than Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium combined. That’s Major League, baby! The most recent example of this phenomenon occurred on July 14 when NHMS hosted the NH 301, meaning that the 100,000 people traveling Rt. 106 to the Speedway included the likes of Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, and other top drivers. I mentioned the event to a friend visiting from California who’d never been to a race before. “I am strenuously and morally opposed to NASCAR,� she replied with a wide smile, hoping, perhaps to tweak my sportsman’s sensibilities. Her “progressive leanings� apparently led her to believe that auto racing was too loud, too fuel inefficient, too grandi-

ose, too dangerous, and too male, among other things. But when I mentioned I had tickets and easy access to the track, she changed her tune. “Well, I was raised by an engineer/mechanic,� she explained. “I had three older brothers, and our nightly dinner table conversation revolved around cars and planes. Maybe I could give it a chance.� “Danica Patrick will be racing,� I replied. “She’s a girl!� “Awesome!� said my feminist friend, whom I’ll forthwith refer to as Non-Danica. “Let’s go!� So Non-Danica and I made our way to the Magic Mile. She was quickly captivated by the energy and all the people as we walked through the extensive concessions areas before ascending into the stands where she was soon surrounded by around 100,000 of my amicable NASCAR friends. She struck up a conversation with a couple from upstate New York sitting to our right and was given a quick primer on NASCAR, and the joys of camping out in Winnebagos right next to the track. Helicopters and planes circled overhead. “Is this on TV?� queried Non-Danica, the Golden Stater. “Yep. National television. TNT.� As engines roared to life and revved in the

pit areas, crews went through final checks, their impact wrenches whirring and whizzing. Non-Danica’s enthusiasm mounted. Soon she was sending text messages and photos all over the country to friends and family members. “Wow!� she shouted. “This is so exciting!� Pre-race activities included a recognition of Granite State first-responders, a wonderful rendition of our National Anthem by Miss New Hampshire, and an invocation from a clergyman. “Wow. I didn’t expect such a long prayer,� said Non-Danica. “Hey, this is New Hampshire, not California,� I responded. “It’s NASCAR. It’s Sunday. Live Free or Die!� A giant bearded man wearing a biker shirt and carrying a large cooler soon settled in front of us. He looked back and said “Who needs a beer?� Then the race started and the roar of the engines of America’s top drivers drowned out the public address announcer. “Oh my gosh!� laughed Non-Danica, beverage in hand. “This is so exciting! I’m so ashamed that I like this so much!� During the first yellow caution, when things quieted a bit, Non-Danica remarked that her See moffett on 42

“Child Survival: Teaching Your Child to Survive Getting Lost in the Woods” The Little Nature Museum is sponsoring a program, “Child Survival: Teaching Your Child to Survive Getting Lost in the Woods,” on Saturday, August 3rd, from 10 AM – Noon on the grounds of the Mt.

Proceeds benefit The Little Nature Museum. Preregistration is required by calling 746-6121 or by using the downloadable registration form at: littlenaturemuseum.org/Calendar.html.

greenhouse size structure constructed in her yard. Working mostly by themselves, with occasional assistance from friends and family members, Dennis and Judy spent their weekends for eight and a half years until “Munteyn Top� was completed. In 2006, the 34-foot schooner was deemed seaworthy. Now in retirement with the ship of his dream built, Dennis was ready to set sail. Still, Judy, an elementary school teacher in Belmont, now had to make the decision to join him. And she did. At the presentation at the Lake Winnipesauke Museum, Judy and Dennis will share in greater detail the building of “Munteyn Top� as well as a few of the many adventures they have had taking to the sea in retirement with a PowerPoint presentation. You will even learn where the name “Munteyn Top� comes from. Whether or not you are a boat building enthusiast wanting to see how they did it or are an adventurer at heart who is thinking about the possibilities of your own retirement dreams, this presentation will have

Keep Your Cardinals

by Steve White Contributing Writer

The cardinal is relatively new to this area of New England. Prior to the popularity of backyard bird feeding, the northern most boundary of this brilliant red bird was the Connecticut and Rhode Island regions. As more homeowners enjoyed this hobby of feeding wild birds in the last two decades, attracting the cardinal has almost become an obsession. The chase was on. Just how do you keep this majestic bird in your area year round? Attracting cardinals to your backyard is not a difficult task if you have the right habitat to start with. Unfortunately, most backyards have eliminated the environment necessary for maintaining nesting cardinals. Cardinals are basically ground birds. They enjoy the comfort and safety that natural cover provides. Brambles, briar patches, and thickets are standard cardinal territory. You may witness cardinals singing from the tallest branches of trees, but for nesting purposes, this species prefers the lower levels of your area. Many people choose not to have these natural plantings in their backyard and

may have a difficult, if not impossible, task of attracting northern cardinals. Nesting birds are feeding birds. The cardinal is very aggressive in defending its territory from other birds. They are extremely loyal as well. It’s one of the few species of wild birds that allow the offspring to stay for the first year after hatching. It is not uncommon to witness large flocks of cardinals during the winter months as they forage for food. Large, airy bushes, like the rhododendrons, serve well as cardinal habitat. You can create your own cardinal friendly environment using a simple brush pile. Choose a suitable area at the edge of your property and commence the process of gathering large tree branches that have fallen to the ground in neighboring woods. Place these loose branches on top of one another until you have a rudimentary brush pile approximately 6 feet wide at the bottom and 4-5 feet tall. Do not compress this new site and leave plenty of airy, open areas for the cardinals to fly into. Viola, instant cardinal habitat! Cardinals prefer bird feeders that imitate their natural feeding area, the ground. These birds are not clingers, like chickadees or finches. Perches are very difficult for large birds to use for feeding purposes. Traditional style tube feeders are not cardinal friendly. Consider adding a tray on the bottom so that cardinals will feel comfortable during feed-

ing. Properly designed hoppers can be the most optimized solution to attract feeding cardinals to your yard. Open tray feeders are another solution. Sunflower and safflower seeds are the two favorite ingredients in the eastern region of the United States for attracting northern cardinals. Of course, water is also a key element to serve in order to maintain your population of cardinal families. Enjoy your birds!! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, July 25, 2013 malkin from 8

we’ve dealt with it in Jackson for a long time. We’ve tried a lot of self-defense cases; I’ve personally tried 10-15 self-defense cases. They’re tough cases, but we accept it so ... the law really hasn’t changed all that much. Stand Your Ground was a big thing, but really the law hasn’t changed. We have a right to bear arms and a right to self defense.� In short, Stand Your Ground did not kill Trayvon Martin. Stand Your Ground did not sway the jury. Stand Your Ground saboteurs don’t have a leg to stand on. Columnist Jacob Sullum observed drily: “You might think that, given all we now know about Zimmerman’s actual defense, critics of ‘stand your ground’ laws would have to find a different, more apposite case to illustrate their concerns. Instead they just barrel along, citing the same phony example again cormier from 8

(Imagine that‌) He finally introduced himself and shook my hand (better late than never) and gave me his contact information. I did not enjoy this encounter. It was obvious Mr. Coogan was not open to engage in any real dialogue. Only when it became known I had some political standing as a state rep, was he polite and engaged. Since Mr. Coogan works for the taxpayers of the Lakes Region, he should always be polite and engaged to any citizen who has a question or concern. Indeed, as of the writing of this article, Mr. Coogan has still refused to sit down with these constituents and personally answer their questions face to face. I thought GSF was all about “openness and transparencyâ€?? GSF says it seeks to â€œâ€Śplan for public infrastructure investment through an open and transparent process.â€? Too bad this “open and transparent processâ€? is not so open and transparent. Our tax dollars flow through this commission. They should be eager to LISTEN and SPEAK to any

and again, without regard to the facts. It does not inspire confidence in their argument.� Nope, it inspires exasperation and contempt. Once again, Eric Holder’s Department of Selective and Social Justice is grasping for straws. Holder now vows to “continue to fight for removal of Stand Your Ground laws� that had nothing to do with the Zimmerman trial. He promises to ban “racial profiling� in the aftermath of a local crime incident that -- according to Holder’s own FBI employees -- had nothing to do with race. This is all a transparent pretext, of course, for undermining a plethora of state laws enacted by proSecond Amendment legislatures. (Never mind that eight of 15 states that adopted Stand Your Ground legislation were helmed by Democratic governors at the time of passage.) Even more insidiously, left-

wing groups have exploited the Martin case to launch broader attacks on the political speech and activities of limited-government groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council, which supported Stand Your Ground. The Obama administration’s cynical campaign against Stand Your Ground laws is a racially charged weapon of mass distraction. The goal isn’t public safety or community harmony. The goal is for conservative political opponents to Surrender Your Ground. Silence, as always, is complicity. Political selfdefense, as with physical self-defense, begins with self-assertion.

taxpayer of the Lakes Region and indeed beyond. If you have not looked at the website: www.granitestatefutures.com (with an “s� at the end), then STOP. DO NOT PASS GO – DO NOT COLLECT $200. Take time to read in depth about GSF so you can learn the facts. My past two articles shared important facts but YOU must complete the task of being informed. Consider this a “Community Savings� card! We need to get into the game, folks. There is much at stake.

British Cars of New Hampshire was established in 1991 by Mike Sweet of Barnstead, NH when, in 1990, Mike and six couples met in a restaurant in Concord, New Hampshire and decided to establish a new club that would better suit the needs of New Hampshire’s British Car enthusiasts. Since this humble beginning, BCNH has had a steady growth in membership and now has about 200 members. In June of 1997, BCNH sponsored its first annual British Car Show at the High Hopes Festival in Milford, NH. This show attracted over 100 British Car registrants from the New England area. Proceeds from the BCNH show are donated to the High Hopes Foundation of New Hampshire to benefit seriously ill children. BCNH has held their British Car Show, now

DEAR TIM: I have a cement slab for a front porch and it is badly cracked. I would like to replace it with a composite deck. The problem is that when it rains, the water will run through the joints to the ground below. Should I slope the ground away from the house and cover with plastic for drainage? As photo shows the porch is not very high. Any other ideas? --George H., Junction City, Ohio.

ment. The city manager in Sanford intervened to prevent the usual police procedures from being followed. When the question arose of identifying the voice of whoever was calling for help during the confrontation between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, the normal police procedure would have been to let individuals hear the recording separately, rather than have a whole family hear it together. If you want to get each individual’s honest opinion, you don’t want that opinion to be influenced by others who are present, much less allow a group to coordinate what they are going to say. When the city manager took this out of the hands of the police, and had Trayvon Martin’s family, plus Rachel Jeantel, all hear the recording together, that’s politics, not law. This was just one of the ways that this case looked like something out of “Alice in Wonderland.” Both in the courtroom and in

the media, educated and apparently intelligent people repeatedly said things that they seemed sincerely, and even fervently, to believe, but which were unprovable and often even unknowable. In addition, the testimony of prosecution witness after prosecution witness undermined the prosecution’s own case. Some critics faulted the prosecuting attorneys. But the prosecutors had to work with what they had -- and they had no hard evidence that would back up a murder charge or even a manslaughter charge. You don’t send people to prison on the basis of what other people imagine, or on the basis of media sound bites like “shooting an unarmed child,” when that “child” was beating him bloody. The jury indicated, early on as their deliberations began, that they wanted to compare hard evidence, when they asked for a complete list of the testimony on both sides. Once the issue boiled down to hard, provable facts, the prosecutors’

She also recalled that her attendance at the high school’s introductory auto-mechanics class was required before driving the family car. “I want to know more about these cars, engines, tires, drivers, crews, and racing strategies,” said Non-Danica.

or something else. The debate as to whether or not NASCAR drivers are athletes will never end, but there is no question that the race crews showed incredible teamwork, changing four tires while re-fueling a car and sending it back out in less than 20 seconds. Danica Patrick’s car was knocked out late in the race, which Tony Stewart led for over a hundred laps. But with 12 laps to go, Brian Vickers took the lead and held on for an emotional win. Non-Danica was moved by the spectacle. “What a thrill,” she said. “The power, the speed, the crowd, the energy!” I responded that NHMS would host another Sprint Cup event in September. “There is something quintessentially American in all this,” observed Non-Danica, the California Progressive and temporary NASCAR fan, who suddenly reminded me of Diane, from the TV show Cheers. “It’s a fascinating cultural study.” We stood and made our way down the stands, passing our new buddy, the giant bearded man in the biker shirt, who again asked us if we needed any beer. Non-Danica gave him a big smile, as did I. Next mission: “Give Wal-Mart a chance!” Speedways And Hot Dogs Many years ago I worked at a concessions stand selling hot dogs at Riverside Speedway, a quarter-mile track in Groveton, N.H. One night the feature race finished in just a few minutes, without a single yellow caution flag. Hundreds of race fans were leaving the speedway early, leaving us with dozens of unsold hot dogs. My boss said we’d have to discard them. “That just seems wrong,” I said. “Why don’t we give them away instead of throwing them See moffett on 43

out?� “Whatever,� said my boss. “You figure it out.� I explained things to the P.A. guy, who made an announcement. We were then swarmed with people and the hot dogs disappeared. I felt good as I watched the happy people eating the hot dogs. My mom taught her children to never waste food. “Waste not, want not.� The next week, the feature race ran late. Lots of yellow flags. But we weren’t selling any hot dogs. My boss was perplexed. He finally yelled to a passing fan, who usually bought multiple hot dogs. “Why aren’t you buying hot dogs,� he queried? “We’re all just waiting for the free hot dogs you

lations. You can even get strong urethane adhesive products that have many of the characteristics of the epoxies. Most of the products come in special caulking tubes where the twopart epoxies or urethanes mix as you squirt them from the caulking gun. The tubes have unique nozzles that blend the two components together so they are properly mixed. The key is to practice using the gun and the material so you can get the finished surface flush with the existing slab. I’d even experiment using some simple inexpensive concrete patio stones that you could place near one another to simulate the crack in your current slab. Practice applying the epoxy and getting it even. I’d even consider broadcasting coarse dry sand into the epoxy to give it the texture and color of your current concrete slab. After you repair the crack, if you don’t like the look of it, it will be tough to disguise it, much like a scar on a person’s face, but you can cover the entire porch slab with a very thin concrete or stucco plaster overlay. This coating would only need to be 1/4 inch thick, and it would make the slab look like it was just poured yesterday. This overlay is made using a mixture of coarse sand and Portland cement. I would mix three parts sand, one part

Portland cement and just enough clear water to make the mixture the consistency of bricklayer’s mortar or stiff apple sauce. To ensure this mixture bonds well to the existing slab, you just need to clean the slab. Consider using a power washer to blast away any loose cement or sand particles, dirt, algae or mold. It’s vital that you apply a coat of cement paint to the slab just before you put down the stucco overlay mixture. Cement paint is a mixture of Portland cement and water. Mix it to the consistency of latex paint. Slightly dampen the clean slab, apply the cement paint and immediately cover the paint with the stucco mixture. Do not allow the cement paint to flash dry. You finish the stucco mixture with a magnesium float, a wood float or you can apply a light broom finish. It’s whatever you want it to look like. This cement stucco mixture will have no issues bonding to the epoxy that was used to fill the crack. Once the final finish is applied, be sure to keep the overlay mixture damp by misting it with water for about a day. You can also cover it with heavy plastic, but be sure you don’t mess up the finish if you put down plastic. But wait, it gets better! What if I told you that you could make your new porch just about any color you want? Have you

seen the gorgeous stamped concrete drives, walkways and patios? They come in all sorts of earthy colors like black, browns, greens, reds, oranges, etc. All you have to do is purchase the dry pigments the concrete installers use and mix them in with your stucco. It’s vitally important that you mix the exact same amount of pigment in each batch so you have even coloration with your stucco mixture. Your new porch will be the talk of the neighborhood. I estimate, in 2013 dollars, that you could do the entire job for less than $150, perhaps less! The best part is you can do the entire job in one day if you have some help. It should only take an hour or two to install the epoxy, and the stucco overlay should take you no more than four hours. Wait about two days before you walk on the porch. Wait at least a week before you put any furniture on the new stucco overlay. Want free home-improvement information? Go to www.AsktheBuilder.com and sign up for Tim’s free newsletter.

Johnsons Mark 50 Years With NH Music Festival

The New Hampshire Music Festival’s legacy is rich with musical traditions, families and summer memories. About a decade after it began on Melody Island in Lake Winnipesaukee, Joel and Karen Johnson joined the Festival family, later sharing this tradition with their daughter, Heather. A fourth Johnson named Keith, no relation to the others, also happened to join the Festival around the same time. This summer, they all celebrate 50 years with the Festival and continue this musical ritual as part of the Festival’s 2013 summer concert lineup. The Johnsons will be celebrating their 50th season at concerts in Plymouth and Concord. Joel will be joined by Heather, as soloist in two special performances that culminate not only years of musical traditions, but of family ties as well. Keith will play as well. See them perform together in the Festivals fifth week concerts: August 8 at the Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University, a night honoring Joel Johnson, and at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord on August 9. Joel joined the Festival as a tenor

An award-winning educator, he has been Director of Music at Falcon Heights United Church of Christ for the past 47 years. Karen is a retired Roseville music teacher and organist at Falcon

with the orchestra, playing piano, organ, harpsichord and celeste. Joel and Karen’s daughter, Heather, was proud to grow up a “Festival kid,” and has gone on to have her own musical career as a mezzo soprano in the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Parsifal. While still a student at the University of Illinois, Keith auditioned for the Festival in the spring of 1964 at the encouragement of one of his classmates. He played with the Festival that summer, was invited back the following summer and has been part of the orchestra ever since. During his first year as a member of the orchestra, he met a young woman named Cecile LeBlanc. They became friends and eventually married. Their two children, Andrea and Stephen, spent their childhood summers in New Hampshire while Keith played with the Festival. He is now a music teacher at the University of Northern Iowa. He has also penned two books about music and been recognized with several awards, including a 2012 Distinguished Professor of Teaching award.
