Pasture Poodles Out Back-
Alpacas At Home In New Hampshire by Roberta Baker Contributing Writer
Still, most North Americans don’t know what an alpaca is. Decidedly fewer have ever seen one. Their Andean ancestors may have thrived at altitudes of 11,000 to 16,000 feet, but the hardy creatures are now raised in pastures and paddocks from Florida

“Boat Show Arrival” is one of the new works by acclaimed New Hampshire artist Peter Ferber which will be part of his new show at the Art Place in Wolfeboro through August 15th. The unveiling and artist’s reception will be Saturday, August 4th at 9:30am. On Saturday, August 4th, The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring local well-known artist Peter Ferber’s collection of new original paintings. The unveiling and artist’s reception will commence at 9:30am., and all are welcome to attend and meet the artist. The artist Peter Ferber talks about his upcoming show. “Following the leadings of my inspiration seems to keep me out of any ruts.

ums, or variations of technique, that have enabled me to convey that beauty in a way I’ve never done before. Those who know my work may recall my affinity for white clapboard buildings, which can be beautifully rendered in watercolor. But I’ve found a new way to achieve that without paint, using cut paper. Years ago I clipped an article about an artist who rendered Victorian houses in layered cut white paper. They were so striking, and I thought it would lend itself especially well to our beloved white New England structures. So in this show I’ve started with a boathouse (what else!) You literally construct a relief sculpture by cutting out and assembling all the pieces just as you would with a real building, including each individual clapboard. The process is tedious, but the result is striking, each element casting a crisp shadow, bringing the building to life. I then paint a background of water and trees as a setting for it, I’m so See ferber on 36

Our Story The Weirs Times was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert. The newspaper, then named Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette, was published until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. One of the most remarkable features of the publication was a map of Lake Winnipesaukee which occupied the center spread of the paper. Readers will find the same map reprinted on the center pages of this, and every issue. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its
To The Editor: I am upset about the child abuse committed by Sandusky and the cover up by Paterno, Curley, Schulz and Spanier. The lives of many young children have been adversely impacted by these men. And that is my point. The five individuals were involved with these tragic events, not the assistant football coaches, not the football players, not the faculty and not the student body. I believe the NCAA president and executive board overstepped their authority by imposing very harsh penalties on the Penn State football program and by extension on the entire university. The penalties will needlessly decimate one of the premier athletic programs in the country and could debilitate the entire university. If the leaders of a corporation, e.g. president, vice president, commit a crime, are the junior level managers and hourly workers punished? If a parent commits a crime, are his/ her children punished for the crime? The NCAA decided to use Penn State as a scapegoat example to thwart other university leaders from going astray. I think the NCAA should have stayed out of it and let the criminal and civil proceedings run their courses. The NCAA is persecuting innocent people. Donald A. Moskowitz Londonderry, NH.
Doesn’t Like Tea
Please Reconsider
To The Editor: I have found a pattern in this election cycle. Forget the normal campaign rhetoric from the candidates. This is about false content in the other media; internet, twitter and email. Here is what I have found. 1. All candidate bashing is against Obama. Odd there was nothing against Romney. 2. About a third of it involved faked photos with changing messages. 3. All statements are completely or mostly false. 4. Research was able to track over 90% back to Tea Party organizers, lately from Maine and Michigan. The Tea Party movement is funded primarily by publisher Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers. This is media and big oil backing Romney and the Republican (GOP) party. It is also Republican legislators who have created voting requirements which prevent a certain demographic from getting required id. Is it coincidence these are mostly the elderly and poor, who generally vote Democratic? I can research actual texts of legislation, but could never know all the deals conducted behind closed doors. I can see the kind of people backing Romney, and the corporate attitude that voters are expendable. There’s poison in the tea, and I’m not drinking or voting for it in November.
To The Editor: As the Laconia city chairman for the Romney 2012 campaign I like to share how valuable New Hampshire is and has been for the election process for ourselves, as residents, and also throughout the United States. It’s a “curse” to be looked upon as a “special voter”, however, you are! Volunteers have been making identification calls and completing the walking books that “target” only those that are registered as “independent” voters. It’s important to explain the purpose of the volunteer’s efforts in this election cycle and say thank you to those who were kind enough to take 30 seconds to help us complete our assigned tasks already. But alas, we are not finished…we could be….we’re not, because again, you are special. An important background story of NH is that not only are we the first in the U.S. for the primaries, we used to be the only state that got it right in the choice of president. If you didn’t win NH, you didn’t win. This has changed. Also, we have the distinct benefit of being one of just a few states that has no state income or sales taxes. This must not change. Therefore, we are just a little bit “picky” of whom we put in the Governor’s seat and legislature to keep that “protection”. For this 2012 election I hope that we are going to be just as “picky” when selecting the next president. As one of Gov. Romney’s volunteers, I did find that many independents have already made up their mind as they were gracious with their time with me. I also found that some preferred not to come to the door when they saw a clipboard or when telephoned they prefer to hang-up abrupt-

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Adult Education The only thing a little disturbing about the book would be the illustrations, but with the right artist’s touch, I believe it could be handled nicely. Some Doctor Suess books could also be modified to tell some good adult-sized tales. “Green Eggs and Ham and Foodborne Illness� would be a great book on teaching people the dangers of eating under cooked and raw food. Unfortunately, it would be necessary to illustrate it with a few, tastefully done, pictures of people retching in the bathroom. It would be necessary to truly portray the message. “The Cat In The Hat And Other Horror Stories� would open up people’s eyes to the ongoing problem of animal abuse in this country. In teaching people more about government, so that they might make better choices in the voting booth, assuming they will actually vote in November, a modification of the classic children’s book “The Little Red Hen� could be used. It would be called “The Little Red President.� The story would revolve around the leader of a powerful nation as he constantly berates the hard-working people in his country as they try to make a living. He refuses to help them at every turn until, at last, despite all his attempts to stop them, they succeed anyway. It is at this point in the story that “The Little Red President� steps in and takes for himself all of the fruits of their hard work and labor. For a more involved explanation of how our government works and exactly what goes on in the halls of the House and Senate, I thought
that the title “Where The Wild Things Are� would make for a great book. For those who might feel a little put off by the Adult Children’s format, books written more in the theme of teen novels might do better. Teen novels, for those of you who have never read one, are like popular adult fiction minus the curses and sex scenes. “The Nancy Drew Mystery Series� were big hits so I thought that the Liberal side might try and get their message out with “The Nancy Pelosi Mystery Series.� It would be a never ending series of books where Nancy Pelosi and her friends continually find mysteries that need to be solved. Using gobs and gobs of taxpayer dollars they go off on their pursuit. Usually, at the end of each novel, they have not solved the problem but only have come to realize that the problem is caused by another problem that needs gobs and gobs of money to investigate and turns into the next book. Of course, Al Gore, in order to tell more of his fairy tale about climate change could publish his own Adult Children’s Book called “Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs and Total Annihilation.� So, as you can see, the Adult Children’s Book market is a whole new avenue for would be writers to investigate. And you can be sure that if they become the least bit popular, then every wannabee writer will be crawling out of the woodwork with one. Brendan Smith welcomes your comments at Brendan@weirs.com.

It seems that everyone is writing children’s b o o k s n o w a days. S o m e by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor are very good and some, well, aren’t. It’s a big business and a lot of folks are trying to cash in on it; even if they don’t know how to write very well. Illustrated and easy to read, a good children’s book should tell an intriguing story that either teaches about something or has a message. The big mystery to me is why the format of children’s books isn’t carried over into the adult world. After all, there are plenty of so-called adults out there who won’t read unless it is easy and could be better informed as well. They like lots of pictures too. So, I thought of some great ideas for “Adult Children’s Books.� With the health care fiasco going on it would be a good idea if people just learned to stay healthy. The book “James and The Giant Peach� was a big hit so I thought “James and The Giant Prostate� would be a good Adult Children’s Book for men who need to be better aware of one thing that can cause a lot of trouble. In the story, James, a middle-class investment banker who works around the clock wakes up one morning to find his prostate, giant and enlarged, sitting at his kitchen table drinking coffee. At first James is horrified until he realizes that his giant prostate is there to help him understand.

On the Attitash Trail at the first crossing of Lucy Brook in the col between North Moat Mountain.
Attitash Trail Traverse
Hot enough for ya? Rachel and I needed to go hiking. There is a big backpacking trip in our future and we are working to get into the best hiking shape we can. We decided that it was too hot in the sun and that maybe we should do a nice long hike under the cover of a forest canopy. The Attitash Trail from Bear Notch all the way to West Side Road in North Conway would be 9.6 miles and it is all below treeline. I followed Rachel to the Diana’s Baths empty parking area where we left her car. I drove us to the top of Bear Notch Road. The Attitash Trail parking area is small and some dope from a neighboring southern state parked right in the middle making it a one car lot. Another pickup truck was wedged at the edge of the entrance, I am sure that driver was as happy about the car in the middle of the lot as I was. I managed to not to wreck my car parking between the
entrance and the edge of the main road. The hike up Table Mountain starts out very pleasantly on old roads. Just ten or fifteen minutes into the hike we passed by a nice cascade splashing into a tempting pool of cool water. At 1.3 miles the trail turned left and we began to climb steeply on a loose gravely path. We had to be cautious because it was easy to slip. As we were nearing the top of Table Mountain we heard someone say, “We’re turning around it is too strenuous, just too strenuous” and we saw the city gal bounding down the trail speaking loudly into her cell phone. She was followed closely by perhaps her daughter and she smiled sheepishly at us. They looked quite fashionable; I give them credit for wearing good shoes and more power to them for getting out and knowing their limits (and their car would be out of the parking area soon).
There are two open ledges near the top of Table Mountain where the sun fried us as we soaked up the grand vista. Through the hot hazy air we could see that the Three Sisters allowed the summit cone of Mount Chocorua to peek above them, further west Passaconaway and Tripyramid stood out and below us we could see the Kanc and the Albany covered bridge over the Swift River. The trail doesn’t travel over the true summit of Table Mountain and we attempted to bushwhack around on top but we didn’t find anything worth our efforts. A slight breeze felt good as we descended. This section of trail to Big Attitash is not popular and not fully maintained. We found the trail in good condition, there were few blow downs but there were sections that could use a good clipping. We wore shorts and we scratched our legs. See patenaude on 22

BFD: A Biden Fabulist Dud
Burning Bridges GEORGETOWN, S.C. - - Wh e n
Alexander the Great died at the age of 32 in 323 B.C., his once unbeatable army began a 2,900mile withdrawal from India and by Oliver North Syndicated Columnist headed home to Macedonia. As they retreated, the empire they had created collapsed behind them. To prevent pursuit, Alexander’s royal cavalry and infantry dealt viciously with all internal dissent, destroyed cities and burned bridges. The Russians employed a similar scorchedearth tactic against Napoleon in 1812, as did the Red Army when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. It’s a maneuver now being employed both domestically and internationally by Barack Obama. The re-elect Obama-Biden machine has less sanguinary methods for dealing with discord
in the ranks than the Macedonian army used 2,335 years ago. There are no goblets of poisoned wine, no toxic darts -- but the Obamians and Bidenites are no less effective. It took just hours for Democrats Cory Booker -mayor of Newark, N.J. -- and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein to recant after they had the temerity to criticize our Nobel laureate. Mayor Booker told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he was “very uncomfortable” with attacks on Republican Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital, and he said, “If you look at the totality of Bain Capital’s record, they’ve done a lot to support businesses, to grow businesses.” Less than two hours later, Hizzoner was on Twitter “clarifying” his remarks. Apparently, the social network message wasn’t good enough for the O-Team. That night, in an eerie re-enactment of “purge confessions” filmed by Josef Stalin’s NKVD, Booker went before cameras in a Web video, saying, “I encourage it, for the See north on 40
Vice President Joe Biden, America’s textbook Beltway barnacle, still labors under the illusion that he is America’s by Michelle Malkin middle-class Syndicated Columnist Everyman. And now, he’s gone and dragged his adult children into the land of Democratic make-believe. This is a BFD: a Biden Fabulist Dud. As usual with White House class-warfare demagoguery, reality doesn’t fit the wealth-bashing narrative. At the International Association of Fire Fighters 51st Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Biden stoked passive-aggressive resentment of the 1 percenters. “The wealthy,” he sniveled. “God bless ‘em,” he snarked. “I wish my kids would become wealthy,” he sighed before railing against tax relief for all those evil, privileged rich people earning more than $250,000 a year. Does Biden have kids we don’t know about? Because his three children with wife Dr. Jill Biden all appear to be, well, doing just fine. Way more than just fine. Daughter Ashley, a social worker in the Delaware state bureaucracy, graduated from Tulane University and has a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania. She’s married to an otolaryngologist/plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia. Along the way, Ashley’s husband also racked up a Ph.D. and snagged a slot as an assistant professor of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery and as a director of the Herbert Kean Center for Facial Aesthetics.
Not exactly Occupier-level poverty in that line of business. Oldest son Beau is the current attorney general of Delaware, a former Justice Department official and federal prosecutor, a former partner in the Wilmington law firm Bifferato, Gentilotti, Biden and Balick, and a career beneficiary of the Biden dynasty. Then there’s younger son Hunter. Vice President Biden, meet your well-heeled and wildly successful lobbyist/lawyer offspring. Hunter Biden now fronts Eudora Global, “a uniquely organized growth and acquisition firm focused on purchasing and accelerating the development of high potential enterprises in industries that meet its selective investment profile.” He co-founded the firm with Jeffrey Cooper. Who is Jeffrey Cooper? Cooper helped build one of the biggest asbestos litigation firms in the country. SimmonsCooper, based in Madison County, Ill., has donated a whopping $196,050 to the senior Biden’s campaigns since 2003, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, D.C. In that same time frame, the firm poured $6.5 million into lobbying against a key tort reform bill -which Sen. Biden worked hard to defeat. Cooper also contributed to Beau Biden’s first attorney general campaign and paid Beau for legal work on Delaware asbestos litigation cases. Hunter Biden was previously a top official at PARADIGM Global Advisors, a hedge fund holding company founded with Vice President Biden’s brother, James, and marketed by convicted finance fraudster Allen Stanford. As Paradigm chairman, Hunter Biden oversaw half a billion dollars of client money invested in

Syria Reaches the Tipping Point UNITED NATIONS—These
are tumultuous times in Syria. Civil war has engulfed the c o u n t r y , fierce fightby John J. Metzler i n g p l a g u e s Syndicated Columnist the capital of Damascus, a bomb blast decimated the ruling regime’s top security chiefs, and the Arab League called on President Bashar al-Assad to step down. But as the world watches in suspended animation, the UN Security Council remains checkmated by Russian and Chinese support for the regime. Syria on the crossroads of the Middle East is heading full-throttle towards the abyss. Civil war confronts the forty year plus Assad family rule. For the past 17 months, emboldened by the “Arab Spring,” the violence has increased and over 20,000 people mostly civilians have been killed and according to the UN over one million people have been displaced inside the country. An additional 42,000 refugees are in neighboring Turkey, 35,000 in Jordan and 32,000 in Lebanon. The ruling regime which is based in the Allawite sect of Islam (closer to that of Iran), and at odds with the majority Sunni, battles on with the ferocity of a cornered mongoose. Significant UN Security Council actions to sanction Assad have been stopped short on three occasions, by double vetoes of Russia and China. First in October, then in February and now in July, cautiously optimistic U.S. and British diplomacy was jolted by the riveting realpolitik that both Russia and communist China are still willing to give Assad diplomatic cover fire in the Security Council despite the growing political collateral damage throughout much of the Arab world. Knowing the political intransigence of both Moscow and Beijing towards any serious action by the Security Council, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan made a mission to Moscow hat in hand to see Vladimir Putin. Annan was trying to revive his moribund peace plan, while at the same
time trying to encourage Russian flexibility and support for a unified approach to Syria. His answer was Nyet. Additionally 300 UN military observers are now going to be phased out. In the meantime globetrotting Secretary General Ban Ki Moon arrived in Beijing to try to persuade the PRC rulers to soften its stance backing the Syrian regime.. After the double veto, British Ambassador Sir Mark Lyall Grant stated he was “appalled by the decision of Russia and China to veto this resolution aimed at ending the bloodshed in Syria.” American Ambassador Susan Rice rightly called it “a dark day,” but that does not belie the Obama Administration’s amateurish inconsistency in the UN. Despite the stunning diplomatic setback in the Security Council, Hillary Clinton’s State Department rationalizes that such votes will shame Russia and the People’s Republic of China; as if Vladimir Putin or Hu Jintao really care? As Richard Haass President of the New York’s prestigious Council on Foreign Relations advised, “The United States and other like minded government should not equate the United Nations with multilateralism, nor should they see the UN as having a monopoly on legitimacy.” But why do Russia and China still back the dictator Assad in the face of growing opposition in the Arab world? Since the 1960’s Syria was close ally of the old Soviet Union and still relies on Moscow. Russia sees Syria as a regional firewall against the spread of separatism and sectarianism. For China there’s some of the same logic; keeping the lid on restive ethnic, religious and national groups inside the confines of the People’s Republic. Of course there’s the Iran connection. Though Assad’s Syria is a secular state, the ruling Allawite minority in Damascus are close to Iranian Islam. Syria’s remains the Islamic Republic’s sole serious ally in the Arab world and thus a loss of Assad would be a stunning setback to Tehran. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has regularly stressed the strategic significance of Iran’s loss of its
Syrian satrap. Put in a geopolitical perspective, Syria’s loss to Russia would mirror the USA’s loss of secular Egypt, and France’s setback in Tunisia. Ominously as the endgame ap-
proaches, we are reminded that Syria holds a major supply of chemical and biological weapons. Should Assad cross the threshold and use them, foreign intervention would become near certain.

Random Thoughts R a n d o m thoughts on the passing scene: Even squirrels know enough to store nuts, so that they will have something to eat when food by Thomas Sowell gets scarce. Syndicated Columnist But the welfare state has spawned a whole class of people who spend everything they get when times are good, and look to others to provide for their food and other basic needs when times turn bad. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution prescribes “equal protection of the laws” to all Americans. But what does that mean, if the President of the United States can arbitrarily grant waivers, so that A, B and C have to obey the laws but X, Y and Z do not -- as with both ObamaCare and the immigration laws? Two reports came out in the same week. One was from the Pentagon, saying that, in just
a few years, Iran will be able to produce not only a nuclear bomb but a missile capable of carrying it to the United States. The other report said that the American Olympic team has uniforms made in China. This latter report received far more attention, both in Congress and in the media. People who lament gridlock in Washington, and express the pious hope that Democrats and Republicans would put aside their partisan conflicts, and cooperate to help the economy recover, implicitly assume that what the economy needs is more meddling by politicians, which is what brought on economic disaster in the first place. (Skeptics can read “The Housing Boom and Bust.”) Racism is not dead, but it is on life support -- kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as “racists.” One of the arguments for Medicare is that the elderly don’t want to be a burden to their children. Apparently it is all right to be a burden to other people’s children, who are paying taxes. See Sowell on 35

Jess Bishop, farm manager at Skyeview Farm, brings tree branches closer so the alpacas can munch on leaves. alpacas: Suri, whose long silky fleece is woven into textiles, and Huacaya, whose ultra-warm hair is typically spun into yarn. Animal lovers find their appearance irresistible; but when it comes to alpacas, it’s about the fleece; twice as warm as wool, nearly as soft as cashmere, the yarn sells for up to $5 an ounce. At the New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival seven years ago, “I fell in love at first sight and first feel,” says Beverlee Carpenter, who, with her
husband, Bruce, raises alpacas in Holderness. “I put my hand inside their coat and had the most soft, wonderful feeling. And they have these beautiful expressive faces and eyes.” Carpenter and Jeanine O’Neill of Derry are longtime knitters who admire all things warm and fuzzy – including angora rabbits. To them, alpacas are sweet-tempered livestock that live happily in the backyard, providing hours of amusement and the kind of heart-felt satisfaction that comes from caring for farm animals you don’t eventually eat. Their annual shearing produces a harvest of soft fleece that can be spun into yarn in 22 earth tones. When the females give birth, their offspring, or crias, can be sold to hobbyists who enjoy spinning, and knitting. “They’re cool animals. They’re easy to take care of. You get to know them and like them, and they’re kind of mesmerizing sometimes,” says Bruce Carpenter. Sue King of Elkins, was the first to breed alpacas in New Hampshire with her husband, Jim. Today, King keeps 115 alpacas ranging in age from seven months to 18 years at her 40-acre farm, Skyeview Acres, selling fleece, breeding stock, and geldings See alpacas on 11

for fiber production, and knitted items from a store in a front room of her home. She hosts visitors from schools and nursing homes, and even takes a few well-trained alpacas to mingle with seniors in a local Alzheimer’s unit, where the congenial animals enjoy being patted. Her animals have been to Musterfield Farm Day in Sutton and New England Hospital Day. “We have an incredible number of visitors,� says King. “We get people from all over the world. I think we’ve had every grandchild visiting the state of New Hampshire come here. We’ve had early Alzheimer’s patients come from Woodcrest Nursing Home (in New London). We take our animals to nursing homes, too. They’ve been up and down elevators. We’ve brought them into rooms to visit people lying in beds with rails.�
Alpacas are extremely curious, shy herd animals whose primary defense is to gather in a clump or run. Affability comes from frequent human contact and handling, breeders explain. King employs a farm manager, Jess Bishop, who lives across the street and cares for
the herd. The animals are eager to greet her, and she knows each by name. “Most farms you go to they just run away from you. We can hug any one of ours, just about,� says King. In keeping with alpaca tradition, each year’s offspring are given names based on themes. Four years ago, four geldings were named Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, R C Cola, and Inca Cola, a soft drink popular in Peru. At Skyeview, newborn alpacas have also been named after Broadway musicals including “Oklahoma,� “Chicago� and “Mama Mia,� and Beatles songs such as “Hey Jude,� “Norwegian Wood� and “Sergeant Pepper.� A friendly fawn-colored female who answers to “Oh, Darling� was born in a Beatles year. King worked in special education and raised a family in Wellesley, MA, before retiring at 50 and moving to central New Hampshire with her husband, a financial advisor. They became the state’s first alpaca breeders in 1992, and their hobby ballooned into a full-time occupation. The Kings transported as many as ten alpacas by trailer to shows all over the country from Ruidoso, New Mexico to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and the Eastern States See alpacas on 12

Live and Let Live Farm: Rescues of the Month Spirit is a 6 year old Quarterhorse with beautiful tri-coloring who still needs some training in ground manners but would do really well with consistent attention and training--something she has not had in her short life. She adores her equine companions, but is still not sure about the 2-legged beings who like to come into the paddock to visit. Californian bunnies--Mama Trixie (not pictured, but also available) has had a prolific year with babies! We have 3 of her litters, aged 10 weeks, 14 weeks, and 6 months--14 bunnies in all. They are all litterbox trained and meant to be house pets, not outdoor hutch-dwellers. Californians are known for being lovey, sociable and snuggly, and these bunnies are definitely all of that. Van Gogh is a 7 year old Greenwing macaw whose owner, who raised him from a hatchling, died suddenly. He is getting used to being handled by a variety of people but is still a little nervous. He loves holding fruit in his beak to drink the juice from it, getting misted with water for his baths, and walking around on the floor. He does say a few recognizable words but mostly speaks macaw-ese (aka, gibberish). Van Gogh can be quite loud so may not be appropriate for people with neighbors close by. He has a great personality and loves to hang out on people’s shoulders to check out the world. Call 603-798-5615 or email info@liveandletlivefarm.org for an appointment, or come see our horses and other animals on our tour, every Sunday at 2:30.

In 1995, alpaca breeders effectively placed a moratorium on imported alpacas, which led to closer controls on prices and the domestic breed ing population. Today there are about 230,000 registered alpacas in the U. S., including one in Puerto Rico, according to the Alpaca Registry; the Tennessee-based Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association currently has 3,500 members in the U.S. and Canada. High quality breeding females with topquality fleece now sell for $5,000 to $10,000 here; fiber boys – geldings that are raised to provide yearly fleece – cost about $500 each, similar to a purebred dog. In the U.S. alpaca production remains a cottage industry that caters to special markets. King says she recently got a call from a man making highend leather dog jackets that he wanted to line with alpaca fabric. He was willing to pay $70 a yard for it, she says.

The alpacas and bunnies are treated as livestock and pets, and seem happy and relaxed in an environment where they receive plenty of human attention.

minutes. The transformation is startling. Alpacas that start out resembling cuddly short llamas end up looking like skinny cartoon characters with spindly legs, furry heads and impossibly large eyes. Even the other alpacas stare in disbelief when the first one clipped returns to the barn. Once they’re shorn, “All I can think of is the cantina scene in “Star Wars,” says Beverlee Carpenter. “I look at them and think, ‘What are these creatures?” In Holderness, the Carpenters currently keep eight alpacas, enough for small-scale breeding, at their acre-and-a-half parcel bordering Owl Brook. Male and females, always interested in mingling, live on opposite sides of a small, quaint barn aptly christened the “Love Shack.” The Carpenters turn a modest profit by selling offspring of their two high-quality herdsires, and compete in New England regional shows. Beverlee belongs to the New England Fiber Pool
in Fall River, MA, where alpaca owners exchange fiber from their animals for finished products such as socks, mittens and hats, and even teddy bears made in Peru, where labor is less expensive. For enjoyment Beverlee dyes her own yarn and knits hats, scarves, and baby booties, which she sells at the Deerfield and Sandwich fairs. Socks, she admits, take roughly 10 hrs. to make, and are considered a labor of love. Apart from fiber crafts, a favorite pastime of owners is simply watching their animals, especially during alpaca “happy hour.” At sunset, they race gleefully around their pastures, jumping like African gazelles, a play behavior called “pronking.” “They’re very nimble animals with a bounce to their step. It’s a bounce where all four feet leave the ground,” explains Bruce. “They do that to get a last burst of energy before they settle down for the night. It’s very graceful, and really enjoyable to watch.”

A Story Of An Amazing Young Man by Larry Pelland Contributing Writer
Thomas Proulx is an extraordinary individual. It is not surprising seeing that his father is Roger Proulx. Roger has been a great supporter of the New Hampshire Veterans of the United States Armed Forces. He initiated a program known as; “Military Appreciation Day.� Its purpose is to make our returning troops, veterans and their immediate families feel welcome by sponsoring entertainment programs at no cost to them. No words can fully describe the goodness of his all out welcome home efforts. If you could be present to see the smiles on the faces of the children of our veterans- it makes it all worth the hard work that goes into the planning of every Military Appreciation Day program. Thomas has taken up this noble cause and works alongside of his father in the “Military Appreciation Day� program. The one caveat Thomas deals with every day of his life is his vision impairment. He eventually will go blind. And yet despite what he calls an “inconvenience� he gives his all to make life better for our returning veterans. He seeks no self pity, nor does he want any. Simply put he said, “It’s not about me, it’s all about them. They mean everything to me. We owe them so much. They delivered for America while serving abroad. Now our employed and unemployed Vets need to reconnect with their lives after deployment. The need transcends across America from East to West and from North to South�. The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston has diagnosed Thomas’ condition as Macular Degeneration; a condition in which the cells of the macula lutea degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimate blindness.

go. The trail on the east side of Big Attitash Mountain has some nice stone steps and is well marked and maintained. At our first crossing of Lucy Brook it was dry but at another time it has caused some impressive washouts.
When the trail intersected with the Moat Mountain Trail we jogged back the remaining practically level 2.4 miles to the car (and yes we both tripped once). Diana’s Baths were a madhouse. Lucy Brook’s beautiful cascades and ledges are lovely and it is a
fun place to cool off. Yet it felt odd that just moments ago we were in the middle of nowhere and now we were surrounded by hundreds of happy bathing tourists. If they only knew to hike another half mile up stream they could have their own private spa. Have Fun!

Those who talk as if more people going to college is automatically a Good Thing seldom show much interest in what actually goes on at college -- including far less time spent by students studying than in the past, and a proliferation of courses promoting a sense of grievance, entitlement or advanced navel-gazing and breast-beating. One of the most dangerous trends of our times is making the truth socially unacceptable, or even illegal, with “hate speech” laws. It is supposed to be terrible, for example, to call an illegal alien an “illegal alien” or to call an Islamic terrorist an “Islamic terrorist.” When the media refer to “undocumented” workers or to violence committed by “militants,” who is kidding
whom -- and why? After the charismatic -- and disastrous -- Woodrow Wilson presidency, the voters did not elect another president in the next decade who could be considered the least bit charismatic. Let us hope that history repeats itself. For more than two centuries, the U.S. military never had a public celebration of anybody’s sex life -- until the recent “gay pride” event under the Obama administration. Here, as elsewhere, the gay political agenda is not equality but privilege. Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” Then he proceeded to generate fear among businesses for years on end, with both his antibusiness rhetoric and his anti-business policies. Ba-
If you’re cruisin’ you’ll be losin’ unless you get those problem spots fixed. Pop those dents & touch up those scrapes now!
rack Obama is repeating the same approach and getting the same results -- namely, an agonizingly slow economic recovery, as investors hang on to their money, instead of risking it in a hostile political environment. If we wake up some morning and find some American cities in radioactive ruins, courtesy of a nuclear Iran, nobody is going to care whether the president who lets this happen is the first black president or the last WASP president. But, in the meantime, many people will keep on voting for symbolism, as if an election is a popularity contest, like choosing a college’s Homecoming Queen or Parade Marshal. There seems to be something “liberating” about ignorance -- especially when you don’t even know enough to realize how little you know. Thus an administration loaded with people who have never run any business is gungho to tell businesses what to do, as well as gung-ho to tell the medical profession what to do, lenders whom to lend to, and the military how to fight wars.

thrilled with the result. I can’t stop staring at it in my studio! I hope others will appreciate it, even though it’s a departure from my traditional media of watercolor, oil and acrylic. “The second new medium is different as well, but within the parameters of conventional painting materials. Another magazine article described the unique method of a Scottish painter from the late 1800’s, Arthur Melville, whose images really struck me. His approach hinged on applying a heavy layer of Chinese white (a

But since the ground is water-soluble, you can soften and blend the pigments into it if you wish. You can also completely remove color revealing the white under-layer, and allowing for crisp highlights to be brought out of the continuous brushstrokes underneath. I love the greater flexibility it allows over traditional watercolor. I

just delight in the freshness and beauty these new approaches bring to my work. So my artistic adventure continues. I can’t wait to discover what awaits me around tomorrow’s corner, while being very grateful for what’s been given me today!” When talking about Peter’s artwork for the upcoming show gallery owner Barbara Gibbs says “Yes, I love the strong azure colors in ‘Brisk Regatta.’ and the sweeping view of the large oil painting entitled ‘Winnipesaukee Harvest,’ yet as I study Peter’s artwork, I am transported beyond the visual images of the beautiful paintings. Looking at the watercolor ‘Boat Show Arrival,’ I can almost hear the low rumble of the antique wooden boat in the painting. Thinking about it, I soon realize that Peter’s art often evokes other methods of perception, beyond just
sight. It is easy to conger up the smell of lake water and pine together when viewing much of his artwork. His ability to make it “real” gives us, the viewer, the freedom to imagine our own reality. This comes about not only through his precise execution of his paintings, but also in the subject matter. The cry of the loon, the desire to touch the veneer on a boat, or the smell of the sea are all recreated through Peter’s paint brush and allow our senses to envision us there on the lake, in the boat, or at the ocean. Through his nostalgic images, he creates a sense of tranquility, a way of life of ‘days gone by’ and a feel for nature as it is meant to be.” Since 1994 Peter Ferber has painted the official posters for the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society’s annual show,

which also come as highly collectable artist proofs. Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. Nearly 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including about 70 limited edition prints. That includes a collection of Castle in the Clouds limited edition prints featuring various scenes from the Castle. His illustrations have
appeared in national magazines, including Yankee, Antiques, and Connoisseur; and a number of books including: a retrospective of the poetry and prose of Doris Peel, entitled Journey To A New Day, and a children’s book written by his wife, Jeannie Ferber, entitled The Tails of Quince and Flute in Semer Wood. The show will continue through August 15th.
The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber’s original artwork, and produces many of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, New Hampshire and is open year round and daily all summer. For more information, call 603-569-6159 or toll free 866-569-6159.

Thomas decided to give White Water Rafting a go. The end result was nothing short of phenomenal as he overcame the powerful sounds of roaring water and the ever present danger of capsizing. Two weeks ago. Thomas went fishing with his father on Crowley Pond where he caught a trophy size/
award large mouth bass, weighting in excess of five pounds and approximately 21” in length. Needless to say, he was thrilled to land such a prized fish. Thomas will serve as ‘best than’ at his brother Matthew’s upcoming wedding on Saturday, October 27, proud to be in the wedding party. In the end, Thomas be-
lieves in his heart that patriotism never fades in America’s core beliefs. Thanking our troops for their service has become a way of life for him, and in a special way for our youth whose parents instilled in them that sense of pride, honor, and all that’s amazing about our country.
Visit the Castle and you’ll see.

Obama campaign to examine (Romney’s) record and to discuss it.” Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, transgressed last Monday when she was asked about leaks of highly classified national security information. She responded: “I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks.” Less than 24 hours later, the senior Democrat emerged from the White House woodshed to express regret for her words and penitently add, “I know for a fact the president is extremely troubled by these leaks.” At least Booker and Feinstein know what they did “wrong” and can avoid retribution by simply keeping their mouths shut. And though it may be tough to be a political crony of this president’s, consider a few examples of how dangerous it is to an American ally. Poland, Romania and
the Czech Republic took great risks to base NATO ballistic missile defenses on their territory. The OTeam threw them under the “Russian reset” bus in the first weeks of the administration, when our naive and inexperienced president pulled the plug on the vital project at the insistence of Vladimir Putin. Canada, America’s No. 1 trading partner, was ready to start building the Keystone XL pipeline to refineries and distribution hubs in the U.S. The project would create thousands of U.S. jobs and provide safe, affordable oil from one of our closest friends. Instead of giving the go-ahead to start construction, the O-Team, pandering to radical environmentalists, put the pipeline on indefinite hold. Unless we hire a new chief executive in November, we could lose the chance for greater energy security and an opportunity to stop funding the jihad with our petrodollars, while our

neighbors sell their oil to China instead. It’s much worse for Mexico, where nearly 50,000 people have been killed in drug-fueled violence since 2006. With narcoterrorism now spreading to neighboring Guatemala and Honduras, the O-Team decided to allow thousands of firearms to flow across the U.S. border to drug cartels in the ill-conceived “Fast and Furious” operation. The result: more dead Mexicans, at least one dead American Border Patrol agent and Attorney General Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress. Britain, now hosting the 2012 Olympic Games and America’s closest overseas ally for 71 years, also is paying the O-Team price. When Cristina Kirchner, president of Argentina, reasserted her country’s claim to the Falkland Islands on the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, Obama stated that the United States is “going to remain neutral” in the dispute, despite an
overwhelmingly pro-British plebiscite. In 1982, when Argentina invaded the islands, President Ronald Reagan provided U.S. support to the Brits. Now the best our president offers is neutrality. Israel, our only democratic ally in the Middle East, faces an existential threat from a nucleararmed Iran. Yet the OTeam continues to badger, bluster and caution against military action and insist on a “diplomatic solution.” The target of all the warnings: not Iran but Israel. Now, with the imminent collapse of the Assad regime in Damascus, the Israelis face the prospect of a radical Islamist takeover in Syria -- and thousands of chemical and perhaps biological weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists. The Obama administration urges “all parties to refrain from violence.” In the Pacific, the People’s Republic of China now asserts control over land and water that the

Philippine government claims to be its sovereign territory. The Aquino administration in Manila has been unable to get the O-Team on the phone.

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A strong social whirl brings a new round of good times to fun-loving Rams and Ewes. Cupid also is busy aiming arrows at single Lambs hoping for a heart-to-heart encounter. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A romantic incident could take a more serious turn if the Divine Bovine considers meeting Cupid’s challenge. Meanwhile, a professional opportunity is also about to turn up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A bit of hardheaded realism could be just what the Twins need at this emotionally challenged time. Face the facts as they are, not as you want them to be. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Many opportunities open up. But you need to be aware of their actual pros and cons. Check them all out and make your choice from those that offer more of what you seek. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A more
stable situation begins, allowing you to feel more secure about making important decisions. Meanwhile, be sure to meet your project deadline so you can move on to other things. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A new personal relationship thrives as you learn how to make room in your busy life for this wonderfully warm and exciting emotional experience. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A new contact opens some doors. That’s the good news. But there’s a caution involved: Be sure you protect your rights to your work before showing it to anyone. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former colleague might seek to resume a working partnership. Ask yourself if you need it. If yes, get more information. If no, respectfully decline the request. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good times dominate your aspect. So why not have a party to celebrate a loved one’s success? And do invite that special
person you want to know better.

Mother Goose, Father Goose, and Son Goose gander at the ganders, gaze at the goslings, and guffaw as they goose the geese and greedily grab their gorgeous eggs. -Rick Kaufman, Dover, NH.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The shy side of the Sea Goat soon gives way to your more assertive self. This should help you when it comes time to speak up for yourself and your achievements. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new period of stability will help you deal with some recently reworked plans. Once you get your current task done, you can devote more time to personal matters. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things are finally much more stable these days, so you can restart the process of meeting your well-planned goals with fewer chances of interruption or delay. BORN THIS WEEK: You love being the brightest light wherever you are, and people love basking in your warmth and charm.

malkin from 8
hedge funds while remaining a lobbyist at Oldaker, Biden and Belair. Cooper chipped in $2 million for the ill-fated venture, which went down in flames amid nasty fraud lawsuits. Before all that, Hunter Biden was a senior vice president at MBNA America Bank, one of his dad’s wealthiest corporate campaign donors. An MBNA bank official helped facilitate an eyebrow-raising real estate deal for Daddy Biden that paved the way for the acquisition of a custom-built house in Delaware’s ritziest Chateau Country neighborhood. While raking in consultant payments at MBNA, Hunter Biden also served as a founding partner in D.C. lobbying shop Oldaker, Biden and Belair. His lobbying for drug compa-
nies, university earmarks and other clients and causes brought in nearly $4 million in 2007 alone. Nice Beltway influencepeddling work if you can get it. As I noted in my book “Culture of Corruption,” one client seeking federal government earmarks told The Washington Post, “Biden’s parentage was a selling point.” Nepotism has its privileges -- and the Biden children, despite Papa Joe’s lamentations, have enjoyed far more than their fair share. Michelle Malkin is the author of “Culture of Corruption: Obama and his Team of Tax Cheats, C rooks & Cronies” (Regnery 2010). Her e-mail address is malkinblog@gmail.com.

as they toured North America, Europe, Japan and Australia following their 2002 and 2004 releases. Few bands have lasted as long with their original lineup intact, while creating a body of work that appears to be impervious to trends. In 2008, they released Trinity Revisited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original recording of
The Trinity Session. Kim Ruehl of About.com reviewed Cowboy Junkies in concert raving that Margo Timmins’s “voice is still on fire, and the band’s trademark musicianship is soaring…” Opening the show is a perennial New England favorite with their own cult following. Hot Day at the Zoo plays what it calls “zoograss’’ - a mix of folk, rock, and progressive bluegrass charged with a jam-band flavor that makes their live shows a bracing treat. The Flying Monkey is quickly becoming known as the “Best place in NH” to see a show. Go experience dinner and a show with World Class artists, state of the art sound and lighting, and unparalleled food and beverage service by the Common Man Family of Restaurants. Tickets for the Cowboy Junkies concert are $35, and $45 for premium seats.
