Original Works By Peter Ferber To Be Unveiled in Wolfeboro showing at The Art Place gallery in downtown Wolfeboro since the early 1990’s. “It’s not just about the familiar visual scene when looking at Peter Ferber’s paintings, it’s about the emotions stirred and the many feelings one gets from his beautiful artwork, says Barbara Gibbs, owner of The Art Place.” Peter Ferber describes it

best: “Once again I feel so fortunate to share this new collection of paintings that come out of a deep love for this area that so many people feel. “Nothing makes me happier than making that connection–hearing the wonderful memories and feelings evoked in those that come to see the work. In

many ways there’s nothing new in this “new” collection. There will be some vintage boats–hundredyear-old launches and a Lyman outboard from the 1950’s. “Wonderful, simple cottages–a few on islands, and one done in the cut paper medium; boathouses here and there, including

They rode a horse and they carried a gun and as such by one dictionary definition that made them dragoons;moreover,they were among the first to join what was designated the First United States Dragoons in the United States Army. Their names were Horace and Hannibal Bonney and after their military service they both settled in New Hampshire and became innkeepers. Horace and Hannibal were born in Winthrop Maine on February 26, 1815. At the age of eighteen the twins travelled together to Boston where on September 6, 1833 they enlisted in the Dragoons;

Dragoons have been regarded as different than the regular cavalry in

To the Editor The kind of Supreme Court Justice someone wants indicates the kind of country he or she wants. Does one want a government that abides by the consent of the governed, as envisioned by the authors of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and laws passed by Congress, or a government controlled by a Judicial Oligarchy, five or more unelected, unaccountable, and fallible people that impose their will on the American people? Donning a black robe doesn’t confer wisdom or divinity. Supreme Court Justices made many bad decisions, e.g., approving slavery, “separate but equal”, and interning Japanese-Americans during WWII. Recent decisions outrage Conservatives and Progressives, e.g., eminent domain (Kelo), Citizens United, gun control (Heller), and Obamacare. The legislators who passed Obamacare and its supporters, including President Obama, repeatedly said that Obamacare included a penalty, but not a tax, for not buying health insurance. But, to approve Obamacare the Supreme Court ignored the clear words of Obamacare authors and supporters by declaring that a penalty is a tax. Without imposing the majority’s will to approve Obamacare by redefin-

Our Story

ing clearly defined words, Congress may have passed a better healthcare bill, one that actually expanded coverage, improved results, and reduced costs. The Obamacare decision is an example of judicial activism, deciding cases based on justices’ personal preferences rather than on the law, the Constitution, and the intent of their authors. Judicial activists use various excuses for their decisions, e.g., foreign laws, new word definitions, and interpretations contrary to original intent. Some people use the term “living Constitution” to justify judicial activism, suggesting that Justices need to “modernize” the Constitution. But this means Justices are overriding the intent of the American people and usurping the authority that the people gave to our elected representatives. Judicial activism advocates want the Supreme Court to dictate what the American people don’t support. Our US Constitution is like a contract for work. The employer (the people) defined (in the Constitution) the work scope, i.e., the authorities and responsibilities, for the employee (the government). Only the employer (the people) is authorized to change the work scope (by amending the Constitution). Our Constitution is “living” because it continues

providing the protections, authorizations, and limitations as originally intended over 200 years ago and as amended by the people and/or their elected representatives. Constitutionalist Justices protect the consent of the people by basing their decisions on the intent of the authors of our laws and Constitution as approved by the people and/ or their elected representatives. When Supreme Court decisions are based on judicial activism, then the American people no longer control their government; we are being ruled by a judicial tyranny. Don Ewing Meredith, NH

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Tough Choices

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Life is full of tough choices we need to make at the moment. We wake up with our thoughts directed towards one thing when an unexpected moment rears it ugly head and forces us to choose, then and there. It could be a choice that in a few seconds could change our lives forever or a decision that will simply alter the next few minutes. For example. You are in a hurry and at the supermarket. You grab the first shopping cart in sight. At first, all seems fine but then, as you turn into aisle two, all hell breaks loose. The left wheel starts wobbling like a politician’s campaign promise. With every second revolution the tiny wheel makes a noise rings out resembling an angry cat with its tail caught underneath a rocking chair. Now every shopper glances your way as you make your way down the aisle. A look of annoyance at first and then, when they realize your situation, more of a “but there for the Grace of God goes I” look of sympathy. Now you are torn between going back, getting a new cart and starting over again (leaving the cart for some other unexpected soul to latch onto), or to just persevere and move ahead, finishing your shopping expedition in the cruel spotlight of supermarket society. Life is full of these unexpected, tough choices.

You’ve just come back from the rest room. You’ve washed and tucked, thrown a little water on your face, checked your symmetry, pushed open the door and headed back out into the real world. You feel confident. Everything seems to be in place. You run into an old colleague and begin a conversation when you casually glance down and notice that your fly never reached full altitude. Suddenly, the words falling from the lips of your colleague are undecipherable as the full attention of your mind is now directed towards this unexpected situation. You don’t dare look directly down, but take quick, casual glances in that direction as though part of the process of the conversation, in order to evaluate the situation. What do you do? You can delicately look for a way to end the conversation and get out of range to perform the full zip-up or you can be bold enough to just do a quick grab and pull while the conversation proceeds. If you choose the former, you will always question whether your unintentional indiscretion was noticed and word has spread through other colleagues that you are less than tidy. If you choose the latter you risk seeming aloof to proper etiquette (whatever that is). These choices are never easy. (Personally, I opt for the diversionary tactic of trying to divert my colleague’s attention elsewhere and then go for the quick grab and pull. I often practice this at home for just such an occasion.) Terrorism, natural disasters, disease, etc, are all things that keep getting hammered into our heads 24/7. Still, you know as well as I, that no matter what tragedy has befallen

others somewhere else, if you wake up in the morning and see a giant pimple on the tip of your nose then that becomes your focus for the moment. A tornado in a small town in the Midwest has nothing on the brutal stares you might be getting later in the day if you don’t take care of the situation at hand. Then there’s the old friend who you see approaching in the distance who you know will start a lengthy conversation than you haven’t the time for that day. Do you try for the stealth movement to avoid the interaction at the risk of being caught, changing the dynamic of your friendship forever, or do you just let it happen and make the best of it. These are the kind of unexpected tough choices we need to make every day. Another instance. You are a columnist for a New Hampshire weekly newspaper. You arrive home to find that the extremely witty and thought provoking column you had constructed the night before has somehow disappeared from your computer and deadline is here. Do you attempt to recreate the masterpiece word for word, staying up late in the process, or do you decide to just use the idea of unexpected choices that need to be made in the moment as this week’s theme just to meet the deadline? These choices are never easy. Brendan will be presenting “Flatlander Chronicles And Other Stories” at the Moultonborough Library on Thursday, September 23 at 7pm. He will also be reading from his new book “I Only Did It For The Socks and Other Stories Of Aging” which will be published in 2019.

Shared Wisdom on a Silver Anniversary To commemorate my 25th wedding anniversary this week to my husband, Jesse, I asked readers on Facebook to share their by Michelle Malkin own secrets to Syndicated Columnist a long happy marriage. In short, the crowdsourced recipe for marital endurance includes faith, forgiveness, romance, kindness, selflessness and a healthy dose of humor. A union built to last begins with a promise and persists through compromise and commitment. It is about keeping your word, choosing the right words and knowing when no words are necessary. Teri L. emphasized: “Marriage is WORK. You have to put effort into it. You have to love and nurture the relationship. It has to be priority. You have to respect it.” Cathy G. advised: “Be careful with your words. Once they are out in the universe, there is no taking them back. And laugh -- a lot! 41 years and counting.” Vincent O. opined: The “key to a long marriage is forgiveness and understanding. You must also end your arguments and misunderstandings the same day. Never let it linger.” Tony G. kept it short and simple: “53 years ago, I learned how to say, ‘Yes, Love.’” Marie G. also administered pithy wisdom: “30 years. It’s all about RESPECT.” Hugh W. counseled: “Our secret to a long marriage: I always let my wife think she’s in charge!” Terence C. gave the opposite instruction: “As far as a secret to a successful marriage, I always tell

everyone: ‘My wife lets me think I am the boss!’” Walt S. weighed in: “50 years here ... keep God and common sense in your marriage. Simplicity, Trust and Utility inside of our wedding bands.” Pamela N. shared: “We celebrated our 51st last March. My advice is to apologize when you’re wrong and forgive when you are wronged. Don’t throw in the towel when hardships come. Hang on. There will be hills and valleys ... and beautiful meadows. Embrace it all together.” Robert S. reflected: “Will be married 50 years this August 2018. I carry a picture of my wife that I have had for over 51 (years).” She “sent it to me when I was in Vietnam. I look at that picture every day to remind me why I married her. It hasn’t failed me yet.” Barbara M. posted: “Never take each other for granted and make memories, even if it’s just dancing to a tune on the radio in the kitchen. Laugh as much as possible and trust God to bring you through the storms. Be grateful for all that you have and most of all always be KIND and FORGIVING!” Stark G. suggested: “Commit to the relationship voyage” and “always remember that this is a LONG-TERM voyage.” Moreover, “never forget that you are not an Adonis or a diva. Your partner didn’t have to marry you. They did you a favour.” And “go out for a coffee or a drink once a week to remind each other that you are still a couple.” Rod K. divulged: “Having my wife of almost 44 years lying in a bed with terminal cancer and other pressing issues, the adage of ‘live each day with one another as though it may be your last’ has a tremendous message we are now

The Policy of Unintended Consequences One of the great lies of modern politics is that when a policy fails, it’s because someone just didn’t care e n o u g h . It’s a nostrum repeated freby Ben Shapiro quently: If PresSyndicated Columnist ident Trump were to only care more about immigrant children, he’d find a way to unite them with their parents; if Democrats were to only care more about the homeless, they’d find a way to clean up Los Angeles and Seattle; if Republicans were to only care more about the sick, they’d find a way to bring down insurance premiums. In reality, most failures are simply the result of unintended consequences. Take, for example, President Trump’s tariff policy. Trump believes that “Tariffs are the greatest,” according to one of his tweets this week. Not only are

they the greatest; they prevent us from becoming the “’piggy bank’ that’s being robbed.” Trump looks across the vast savannas of the United States and sees domestic businesses undercut by foreign competition, and his immediate thought is to help those businesses by taxing their foreign competitors. Unfortunately, his policy has unintended consequences: It raises prices and causes retaliatory tariffs. So domestic consumers pay more for products; domestic producers have to pay more for the inputs they use to manufacture their own products; and foreign markets are closed to American exporters. All of this means that some of the businesses Trump seeks to help actually get hurt, which is why both Whirlpool and Harley-Davidson have downgraded their profit expectations in the wake of Trump’s policy. But Trump still wants to demonstrate that he cares. And so, he undertakes a Band-

Trump’s Tariff Weathervane UNITED NATIONS

- With trade and tariff polices shifting like the proverbial weathervane,the Trump Administration has confused and by John J. Metzler c o n f o u n d e d Syndicated Columnist even many close trading partners,Europe, Canada and Japan among them. This may be the Donald’s tactic in his wider strategy of getting fairer trade and better “deals” for American consumers. Conversely the concocted tariff threats, particularly aimed at China, could precipitate a grand commercial clash whose seemingly chaotic plan insures American trade supremacy in the face of powerful global competition. That Free Trade should be Fair Trade has been a Trump mantra. Since the 1990’s the People’s Republic of China has been the primary economic rival to America’s once unassailed industrial base. Indeed Beijing’s massive trade surplus with Washington, a whopping $375 billion in 2017 alone, has been fueled by American consumer spending as much as by Beijing’s business machinations. But testy Transatlantic trade relations between the USA and the European Union’s 27 members have defied historically close political, military and economic ties. Two-way trade between the United

States and Euroland reached almost $1 trillion last year! Given that much of President Trump’s trade rancor is aimed at China, why then slap broad brush tariffs on Western Europe? Yet steel and aluminum tariffs are just that. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker visited Washington in what he expected would be an ill-fated last ditch effort to stop the tariffs; in a stunning turnaround the European Union and the USA concluded a Transatlantic trade truce which happily surprised business and political players on both sides of the Atlantic. The unpredictable Trump did not foolishly forego close commercial and political ties with Europe, knowing full well that even a powerful America needs trade allies in the bigger showdown with Beijing. Trump stated the goal was “zero tariffs, zero non-tariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non auto industrial goods.” Donald Trump wants a truce, then a deal with Europe, not a trade war. As Jamie Fly of the German Marshall Fund opined in the Wall Street Journal, “With Europe finally getting serious about the threat posed by China, there couldn’t be a worse time for the Trump Administration to antagonize its natural allies with tariffs.” Currently, the EU slaps a 10 percent tariff on U.S. made autos while the U.S. puts 2.5 percent duty on

European cars, mostly German and British imports. Trump’s particular deal changer was to get the EU to purchase more soybeans, exactly to counter lost sales from China and to thus support American agriculture, and to purchase U.S. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as a way to wean the EU off its current dependency on cheap

Russian natural gas. Both the Europeans and U.S. came away happy or at least relieved. China has been courting and wooing the Europeans for closer commercial and political ties in direct proportion to the rhetorical rifts with the United States. The perception that the Trump

Less-Communist Cuba While selfproclaimed “democratic socialists” win Democratic primaries in America, actual socialists in Cuba are finally backby John Stossel ing away from Syndicated Columnist some of the ideas that kept Cubans poor. Sunday, Cuba’s National Assembly approved a draft of a new constitution that recognizes a right to own private property. That’s progress. Would Senator Bernie Sanders and celebrity-ofthe-moment Alexandria OcasioCortez approve? I’m not sure. Instead of saying that “communism” is the purpose of the state, Cuba will now say that “socialism” is the basis of the economy. That’s an ambiguous difference, but “socialism” tends to mean a larger private sector. Cuba’s new leaders also say they welcome foreign investment. Maybe this will bring some prosperity to the long-suffering Cuban population. It may bring more freedom, too. The new draft says a criminal defendant is innocent until proven guilty. That’s progress. It also sets term limits on presidents -- no more than two consecutive five-year terms. Fidel Castro ruled for 50 years. The new Cuba may also permit gay marriage. The draft defines marriage as being between two individuals, not necessarily a man and a woman. That’s a big step for a country that recently locked gay people up in “work” camps. On the other hand, the staterun newspaper says Cuba “will never return to capitalism.” And

while some open speech is permitted, crackdowns against dissidents, even ones who just sing angry rock songs, continue. Still, the U.S. should be happy about the changes, and the last thing we should do when we want to encourage free market changes in a country is slap an embargo on it. Yet some conservatives want to do that, and President Trump reversed some of President Obama’s “Cuba opening. This is a bad idea. Nothing gets a population accustomed to decentralized, nongovernmental commercial activity like commercial activity. The more we restrict trade, the more we drive a country’s population into the hands of the state. If you can’t sell your products to American customers, you might just work for your country’s corrupt state-run enterprises. Instead of having casual contact with customers who live outside your country’s political system, that system becomes all you know. Your idea of what’s possible shrinks. Embargoes favored by the right are just one wrong approach. The left does everyone an injustice by praising Cuban communism. I live in New York, where my socialist-leaning mayor, Bill de Blasio, was so enamored of Cuba that he honeymooned there. Bernie Sanders acknowledges that the Cuban economy is “a disaster” but says at least they have health care and education -- as if we don’t. American socialists are economically clueless. But conservative embargo advocates are just as bad. Democratic congressional candidate David Richardson of

Program on Moultonborough Falls Conservation Area On Monday, August 13th at 7pm, Norman Atkinson and Marie Samaha will present a program on the geological characteristics and historical significance of the Moultonborough Falls Conservation Area at the Lamprey House Museum, 953 Whittier Highway (NH Route 25). Come and hear about an early chapter in Moultonborough’s history. Moultonborough Falls in the 1800’s was once the thriving center of the Town of Moultonborough and the Moultonborough Falls Conservation Area was part of the thriving mill village. Located on the Red Hill River near the intersection of what is now Sheridan Road and Route 25, this area extends back to the marshlands of Lee’s Pond. Originally, the Red Hill River flowed from Garland Pond into Lake Winnipesaukee. However, dams built at the end of Garland Pond and at Lee’s Mills backed up the Red Hill River creating Lee’s Pond. Historic photographs show houses of the era that are still occupied today, all of which have intact original architectural features and retain remarkable integrity for their period of significance. Come and hear about the early settlers and the industries that were the economic base of 1800’s Moultonborough.

NH Perks Versus European Quirks What’s To Eat? by Dale Helen Maguire Contributing Writer

This is not a phrase parents like to hear, especially when just arriving home late from vacation and there is nothing in the house. Or have you wondered this yourself; when hit with late-night munchies while staring in the fridge/freezer or pantry? To many, especially in urban and some suburban communities across much of America, neither of these scenarios are a problem given access to 24/7 shopping. In other areas, such as within the Lakes Region, it might be more challenging to find a shop open, especially offseason, during holidays, some days of the week and after midnight. We have found similar frustrations while traveling through and living in various countries around the world. In fact, as jet-lagged travelers, we have occasionally found our tummies growling out of sync with local meal times. It is not such a big problem in the US as it is in other countries. This is because there is usually a plethora of options available to the hungry and thirsty travelers at American airports, along highways and in most major cities and suburbs; including fast-food restaurants, gas station and other convenience stores or at the very least, packaged snack and drink vending machines at rest-stops. Further, there many food establishments that stay open to patrons throughout the day and evenings as well. However, around Europe in particular, restaurants have very limited hours. They will close inbetween common meal

Aside from airports, train stations and in the bigger tourist areas, it is also difficult to find a place that serves breakfast. Coffee shops are popular, but not always open in the mornings nor do they offer meals. Occasionally a bakery will have a table or two and offer coffee/ tea to sip with their wares. Hotels may offer amazing breakfast buffets, but it is generally reserved only for their overnight guests. Thus, you will not find a 24-hour McDonalds

Interestingly, these ‘night shops’ are open only from 10 pmmidnight or some as late as 3 am. So, what does a starving European do when these limited options are not available.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING BY Terry and Kim Kovel Chinese Porcelain Chinese porcelains are among the hardest for an average collector to identify and date. They have been made for centuries, and it is considered a tribute -- not an attempt to fool a customer -- to copy a piece perfectly, including the original mark. Unfortunately, today there also are some who deliberately make and sell excellent copies of antiques. The pictured vase is named “Five Boys.” It is

a piece of “famille rose” porcelain and has a sixcharacter mark on the bottom. The boys are climbing or standing on the vase. One has a ruyi scepter; the others are helping each other to the top. The famille rose decoration could be several hundred years old or new. The color and clever three-dimensional figures helped the vase sell for $1,476, its decorative value. If it were 300 years old, it would sell for much more. Q: My Rookwood mug is old, dated 1884. It is covered with line drawings of what look like comic book figures.

An examination of the bottom of the vase may show some clues to the age. Many modern copies of old vases have glazed, rather than unglazed, foot rims.

also are on the bottom. It is yellowish-white with black lines. Who is Cranch? A: E.P. Cranch was a lawyer in Cincinnati who also was working for the Rookwood pottery from its beginning, as well as a poet, a storyteller and an artist. Cranch used the words and often humorous pictures of activities described in ballads and folklore. He remembered a ballad sung to him by Noah Webster’s nephew 50 years earlier and wrote it down and illustrated it. Cranch seems best-known for his Rookwood pieces decorated with the Uncle Remus stories. His art appears on beer mugs, pitchers, jugs, plates, bottles and vases, most made in the 1880s. Although they

are very different in style than most early Rookwood, with colored glazes and realistic decorations of flowers or perhaps Indian portraits, Cranch’s work sells quickly. A 6 3/4-inch-high Cranch jug sold recently for $1,610. It was decorated with scenes and the words of the poem “Three Wise Men of Gotham Went to Sea in a Bowl.” *** CURRENT PRICES Toy bubble pipe, figural bowl, “Popeye” head, smoking a pipe, sailor hat, curved stem, white plastic and paint, 1950, 6 inches, $20.

Kayak Fishing Great Bay for Striped Bass

Purchase a Generac generator between July 9TH & August 26th & receive a

FREE 10 YEAR WARRANTY

by Tim Moore Contributing Writer

At 6,000+ acres, New Hampshire’s Great Bay is the second largest inland estuary on the east coast. It sits 10 miles inland of the Atlantic Ocean and is considered by many anglers, especially kayak anglers, to be one of New Hampshire’s best striped bass fishing locations. The current New Hampshire state record, a 51” – 60 pound striped bass, was caught in Great Bay in 1980. My Dad used to bring me there to go striper fishing in his boat when I was a kid. Now I make my living there guiding kayak fishing trips for striped bass in the spring and summer months, and Great Bay never fails to live up to its reputation. In the spring, the outgoing tide is most often the preferred tide to fish for stripers in Great Bay. During high tide the sun warms the water in the shallows. When the tide turns and this warmer water rushes out it causes the rest of the water to warm. This spike in water temperature triggers striped bass to feed. As spring progresses into summer and the average water temperature rises, the incoming tide will become the preferred tide as well as early mornings and cloudy days when the water is cooler. At low tide, note the location of exposed boulders and rock piles situated in heavy current, especially those adjacent

The scenery in Great Bay is not to be overlooked. to river mouths. At high tide these rocks will be slightly submerged and bigger stripers will use them as a place to wait for unsuspecting prey to swim past. Kayaks are great for getting in around the shallow rocks where boats can’t go for fear of hitting them. Cast a weighted paddle tail shad just beyond these rocks and retrieve it back for a chance at one of Great Bay’s infamous cow stripers, but be careful not to drift directly over the rocks or you will spook the fish. For an added advantage, pause and let the shad fall every few cranks.

Keep your line tight and be ready to set the hook during the pause. Dense flocks of terns diving into the water for bait almost always indicates a school of striped bass below. Be prepared to do a lot of paddling because some days the bait may not stay in one place. Try to stay ahead of the school, but by all means don’t paddle directly into the middle of it or you will spook the fish. Stay on the edges of the school and cast into it. It’s the ease of access, calm water, and almost constant striped bass See MOORE on 35

But shelf space and height are optimized by pay-offs to distributors and grocery stores. Where the buyer looks is categorized through templates and brightly colored cardboard containers. In short, you have to have a label that gets you recognized or catches the buyer’s eye. This is where real genius meets business. And since Hobbs has a very uniquely designed six pack, we turn our focus for today on our friends at Hobbs Brewing. Hobbs Tavern and Brewing Co, in West Ossipee, is housed in a beautifully restored rustic pub, boasting a diverse and tasty lunch and dinner menus and is a great place

line has enabled them to make available their brews for the public to enjoy. Visit them on facebook. com/hobbstavern and at their website at www. hobbstavern.com An American IPA style is usually hazy and provides a unique malt character that helps define the style. Whaddya Say? Is all that and much more. Hazy and straw colored, it looks a little thin which disguises well this awesome beer. If you looked at it next to other beers in comparison, you would choose something else. But make no mistake, this beer’s flavor is beautifully Hobbs. A super white head greets your pouring. Malty,

River Ale, Pitch-A-Tent Double IPA, and Back Road Brown Ale. Their official rating by BeerAdvocate.com gives Whaddya Say? at 4.28 out of 5 yielding an “Outstanding” award. But there were only one or two contributors which yielded that scoring. Lower and higher scores are then averaged. The more entries on BeerAdvocate, the more averaging that goes on. Others on UnTapped. com and RateBeer.com all agree. You can find it at Case-n-Keg in Meredith as well as other fine beverage retailers. I’m sure you will agree this is a great beer in great packaging. Jim MacMillan is the owner of WonByOne Design of Meredith, NH, and is an avid imbiber of craft brews and a home brewer as well.

On Tuesday, August 7 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will explore the Battle of the Bulge as part of its Lecture Series, sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney. This exploration will take place through the documentary, “The Battle of the Bulge: World War II’s Deadliest Battle,” which was made for the PBS series, “The American Experience.” Narrated by David McCullough, the documentary delves into the German offensive from December 1944 to January 1945 designed to split the Allied forces

“Steamboats Of Winnipesaukee” With David Warren At Lake Winnipesaukee Museum On Wednesday, August 22, at 7pm, David Waren will be at the Lake Winnipeaukee Museum to present the program “Steamboats Of Winnipesaukee’. David Warren is a local historian and master model builder who has created detailed scale models of ships that are on display around the Lakes Region including the Wright Museum of World War II and the New Hampshire Boat Museum. Recently Warren finished his latest creation. A scale model of the Steamship “James Bell’ which is now on display at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum. It is the fifth ship model that Warren has built for display at the Weirs museum. (An article on the history of the James Bell written by Warren will appear in next week’s edition of the Weirs Times.) Warren’s enthusiasm for the Steamship era will be on display at this presentation where he will take you on a journey to the early days of the ships. Visit with folks who lived in the Wawbeek community in Melvin Village, go for an exciting ride with an inebriated captain, meet Henry Libby, the founder of The Libby Museum in Wolfeboro and find out about what the Goose had to say about folks who chartered his boat the West Wind and more stories. If you have your a story of your own you are encouraged to bring it with you and share with the crowd. Programs focusing on Lakes Region and New Hampshire history are held at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum throughout the summer season. The museum, open to the public Wednesday – Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, is located on Route

3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. This event is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members, and for non-members there is a $5 fee. Seating is limited, so please RSVP to 603-366-5950 or email lakewinnipesaukee museum@gmail.org

mountain. Jitney and his son, Tim spent the last two years of his life finishing the Operating Manual/ Memoir that his dad had wanted to do for years. But Jitney Jr. – a former statehouse correspondent decided it was time to track down the names and stories of those who worked at the Cog, and appear in the background of the many photos of the historic tourist attraction. Lewis, who spent his first 14 summers growing up at the Cog, needs your help finding more of his lost “mountain relatives.”

Over two-thousand former employees have been identified thus far. The Jitney Years presentation covers the wellknown Cog history, but focuses on Cog employees from the area. It is an unique illustrated talk for those generally interested in the Cog and those who either worked at the Mountain or had relatives who worked on the railroad and its affiliated facilities from 1866 forward. The goal of the presentation is to identify more Cog veterans, and tell their stories. It is part of a year-long research project backed by Northern Vermont University in Lyndon, VT where Tim Lewis has been teaching electronic journalism since the fall of 1999.

Back in June of 2015 we did a story on Alice Matthewman, who was ninety-one and hadn’t, in forty-years, missed a motorcycle ride to Weirs Beach. Once riding herself, Alice was now catching a ride on the back of her grandson’s Harley. This August 2nd (the publication date of this issue of The Weirs Times) Alice is turning ninety-five and still hasn’t missed a ride through the Weirs. We want to wish Alice a very happy birthday and we hope she gets the chance to make many more rides through the Weirs. Happy 95th birthday Alice! May you stay Forever Young!

Come To The Fair! Belknap County 4H Fair August 11 And 12 If you are looking for a family activity with wholesome, safe and affordable family fun, a day at the Belknap County 4-H Fair is just the answer. The Fair in Belmont is the biggest little agricultural fair in New Hampshire. Enjoy all the traditional fair events at a location that is easy to find and just the right size. The Fair begins Saturday morning at 9 am and will run through Sunday at 5pm . Kids under ten have free admission and over 10 pay admission of $7 for a visit packed with fun and entertainment. Active Military and Veterans with ID are also FREE! On Friday night we are having “Hoot Night” which will feature local entertainment on our stage. The fair is not open, but for just $5.00 a carload, you can come

from 6-9pm and enjoy the music of Entangle Strings followed by performances by local talent. The Belknap County 4H Fair has been providing fairgoers with great animal exhibits like ox pulls, draft horse demonstrations, and 4H youth animal displays. The historic Colonial Barn is chock full of the craft and educational projects done by area youth with the 4H program. There will be demonstrations of old time engines, a blacksmith, and sheep shearing. There is a car show on Saturday and a tractor show on Sunday. Both days will have monster trucks on exhibit, at last count we will have at least six there for you to look at

and take pictures of. There is also an amazing wild life exhibit of preserved animals of the wild....like fisher cats, coyotes, beavers, and raccoons. Something for Everyone! Our entertainment stage on Saturday and Sunday have live performances throughout the day from rock and roll, to the blues, to country music. And don’t forget our Friday night preview of entertainment with a band and then a challenge talent competition. Friday night only there is a $5 carload price. The Entertainment is the only thing going Friday night. The entertainment is worth the admission price alone. Kids and those young at heart will love the

animals, games, and exhibits. And what little one doesn’t love a pony ride? On Saturday is the exciting garden tractor pull and on Sunday the motor “doodlebugs”. Be amazed to watch the old time engines demonstrate how things were done in the “old days”. Both Saturday and Sunday feature traditional free kid’s games like bubble gum blowing , pie eating contests, jello eating and water balloon throwing. Come browse the exhibits, crafts and entertainment, check out the pulls and all those delicious traditional fair foods at the Belknap County 4H fair Saturday and Sunday August 11th and 12th.

a great, rustic Adirondack style one; plenty of pine trees, mountains, and at least one loon! That being said, I hope it never feels like I’m repeating myself! In order to have integrity, and that spark, I always rely on some new element in the concept to inspire me. This often comes in

Artist Peter Ferber. the form of a different color pallet or an interesting lighting effect I’ve observed. And I’m always trying to bring out the idyllic, romantic or timeless aspect of a subject–to convey more than a literal portrayal, and tap into what the subject means to people. This approach developed in college, where we painted local scenes around town, and were taught accentuate and augment certain things about the subject to give it more weight and importance and make the painting more dramatic and interesting. I still do this today, though in more subtle ways, since there’s not usually the need to “improve” on the beauty and interest of the subjects I find around here! “Of course lakes are a constant throughout, and this time include Wentworth, Newfound and Sunapee, in addition to Winnipesaukee–though they will feel familiar no matter what your particular favorite may be. “The paintings will include work in watercolor, acrylic, oil, and the one cut paper piece I mentioned. “In contrast to the aspects of life that seem to be constantly changing and

upgrading, I love the fact that the things I’m depicting seem so timeless and solid. And it’s always about more than just beautiful images of loved scenes. The real connection is with deep and treasured feelings of family, in having roots in something lasting, in experiences that taught us important things, in a sense of comfort, caring, and being valued. It’s the kind of “place” where we all want to spend time.” Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 75 limited edition prints. Peter Ferber’s Gallery Show at The Art Place will be on display through August 18th or as long as paintings are available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferber’s original artwork, and produces most of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, NH and is open year round. Our Summer hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 to 5. Sunday 11 -3.

to be emitted from their weapon when fired. There were no automobiles, no trains, and no planes to aid their travel so the Bonney twins, along with other recruits, chose a water route to their destination, traveling on a variety of boats. From Boston they went to New York harbor and the island that would become the home of the Statue of Liberty. While there they were assigned a commanding officer,

Lieut. Elbridge G. Eastman, and after a four week stay they took a steamboat up the Hudson River to Albany,transferred to a canal boat and rode the Erie Canal to Buffalo,and transferred back to a steamboat which took them to Green Bay on Lake Michigan. In cold weather they travelled for twenty days up the Fox River to Fort Winnebago. They carried their boats overland to the Wisconsin River and on to the Mississippi until reaching their

destination, the Jefferson Barracks, which were ten miles south of St. Louis. It was two months or more after they had left Boston. The Bonney twins were in one of ten companies of the First Dragoons, two of which were at the Jefferson Barracks where they were given horses and other equipment and received training until May of 1834 after which they were assigned to Fort Gibson in Arkansas.

Under the command of General Leavenworth their mission was to oppose the Pawnee and Comanche Indians, who reportedly were “on the warpath” and had committed atrocities against the settlers. The mission of the Dragoons

seems to have been to march into Indian territory to protect the settlers by convincing the Indian leaders to meet with government officials to talk about a peace treaty. The “Two Bonneys”,as they were called by their comrades, were said to be very similar in appearance as well as having “daring natures and adventurous dispositions” which “often resulted in their being See SMITH on 39 GET

detailed for special service, particularly where nerve, dash, and discretion were required”, according to a July, 1900 Granite Monthly magazine article. The march in Indian country was accompanied with much sickness among the mounted soldiers and many of the sick were left to camp near the Red River. General Leavenworth continued with the troops, but soon became sick and died. By the time the men reached the main Indian town “…where they found assembled over three thousand of the most fierce and savage of the Indians of the Southwest- the Comanches and Pawnees”, only 400 of the men of the U.S. Army responded to the roll-call. They were, nevertheless, able to secure the release of many prisoners held by the Indians, including an eight year old boy, and to persuade the Indians to arrange a meeting between the chiefs of several tribes and commissioners of the United States the following year. The Dragoons returned to Fort Gibson from which they were apparently involved in frequent skirmishes with the Indians. The Bonney twins refused to re-enlist when their three years was up and started to head for home, but after encountering difficulties in travel and lacking

money they enlisted in the Texan army to fight for independence under Sam Houston. After serving in Texas they went to fight against the Seminoles in the Everglades of Florida. Returning to Texas they were given a discharge from the Army and finally were able to return to Maine. After a short stay in Maine the twins had a longing to return to the First Dragoons, so they went to New York, reenlisted, and were sent to the West where they served under the command of Captain Nathan Boone, the youngest son of Daniel Boone. They ended their military service after ten years of service when receiving their discharge at Fort Gibson on Sept. 4, 1843. Horace came to New Hampshire where he purchased the Ayer House in Hooksett and was involved in the hotel business for most of his life. Hannibal was also involved in th e h otel bu siness, bu yin g th e Penacook House in 1862, after serving on the police force of New York City and engaging in the hotel business in New York and Manchester.

facing, but equally for any married couple.” Joan H. similarly noted: “My 25th was spent with my husband in a nursing home dining room where the staff had prepared a beautiful meal in a private room. I think my advice for a long lasting marriage is believing and living the part of your vows that say ‘in sickness and in health,’ because you just are never prepared or know what the future holds.” From my mom and dad, who marked their 48th wedding anniversary this spring: “Today, as you reflect on the 25 years of journey through your married life, you can rejoice, be grateful, and take pride in all that you have accomplished and weathered together. Marriage indeed is hard work, but it becomes lighter when lived in love and perseverance, with patience and humility.” Finally, Neil S. joked: “Never be stupid at the same time.”

Administration wants to restrict or redirect EU trade ties has allowed Beijing to play its game in Europe, even though many European states are still nervous about closer political links with China. Not only human rights concerns, but technology theft and widespread industrial espionage, shadow that relationship. Nonetheless, the EU is China’s second largest commercial market with $667 billion in trade last year. China’s Premier Li Kiqiang told a recent meeting in Bulgaria, “Countries are welcome to board China’s economic express to share opportunities of China’s development.” Indeed many European Union states including Germany have spoken of closer cooperation with China as a counterweight to its trade tensions with Washington. The United States economy has reached an impressive 4 percent growth for the second quarter, clearly a byproduct of business and consumer confidence, low unemployment,significant tax cuts, all of which create an upbeat economic climate. This is the good news and it’s sustainable providing the Administration does not derail its own success with the President’s pet peeves. As the Wall Street Journal advises editorially, “Mr. Trump’s trade policies are the biggest threat to that economic progress.” Now it’s time for the United States to accelerate smoothing out trade disputes with key partners; the European Union and certainly Canada and Mexico through a renegotiated NAFTA. It’s time to importantly refocus on Japan and South Korea. Then Washington and Beijing must seriously sit down and speak to each other, not at each other. The world awaits the outcome.

Florida, who plans to visit Havana as part of his campaign, has the right idea. “A half-century of isolation did not achieve progress for the everyday Cuban,” he told the Tampa Bay Times. “I fully support a position of engagement with Cuban civil society ... Rolling back travel and trade restrictions has changed the lives of the Cuban people, helped private Cuban entrepreneurs, and strengthened the connection between the residents of Little Havana and Havana.” That’s a good thing. Embargoes are not only bad for Cuba, they are bad for Americans who are less free to pick which people and companies to work with. Partial embargoes in the form of tariffs are also bad. Adding tariffs is like imposing an embargo on ourselves. Trump defenders argue that his tariffs are a short-term tactic meant to shock other countries into lowering their own trade barriers. The ideal is “no (trade) barriers ... no subsidies,” said Trump. “Ultimately, that’s what you want.” I hope he succeeds, but I’m skeptical. So far, his tariffs have just brought nasty retaliation. Not everyone agrees that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff caused the Great Depression, but tariffs have awful economic consequences. Smoot-Hawley certainly prolonged the Depression and made it worse. Less trade means less prosperity. It doesn’t matter whether trade restrictions are imposed by conservatives or by communists. Let goods flow.

such a ‘crisis’ once. We were on the way home late one night after a youth ice hockey match. I always packed snacks and drinks for my boys in anticipation of their needing to re-fuel, but they were teenagers. So, like the ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’ they had eaten their way through everything. Fortunately, at that very moment when I thought they were about to eat each other, I spied a ‘broodautomat’ or bread vending machine along the roadside at the edge of the village. The boys were pleased with the selection of white/ wheat/multigrains, sliced/unsliced, and half/whole loaves. So, they enthusiastically munched on their plain, but deliciously satisfying, soft crusty slices, and

Aid policy: subsidies to agricultural concerns hurt by his tariffs. This week, the administration announced a Department of Agriculture $12 billion subsidy directed at farmers who can no longer competitively export product to foreign markets. “(I)nstead of offering welfare to farmers to solve a problem they themselves created, the administration should reverse course and end this incoherent policy,” Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., accurately summed up. It’s not just Trump. Democrats routinely complain about the price of rent in major cities but then institute rent control and subsidized housing, driving up the cost of development. In order to deal with the rising costs of rent, they push for an increase in the minimum wage, which causes more unemployment. Then they tax the businesses they’ve already penalized in order to pay for the unemployed. Or they push for lower educational costs and seek government subsidies to drive down college tuition. But in doing so, they create a base rate colleges can now charge, driving up those rates. Or they push for better
