Last Chance To See Rockwell Exhibit At Wright Museum

COMPLIMENTARY

Old Home Day – A NH Tradition by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer

August is traditionally Old Home Day month across New Hampshire. This week our history columnist Robert Hanaford Smith explains where this unique New Hampshire tradition comes from. When New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins came up with a scheme “…to have a week in summer, set apart, to be called Old Home Week and make

it an annual affair”, he was actually asking all New Hampshire towns to sponsor an event that a few towns had been conducting for years, though most seem to have limited their observance to a day or two rather than a whole week. The small town of Middleton reportedly began its Old Home Day in the year 1866. Its observance continues each year, not on a Saturday or Sunday, but on a Wednesday, following See smith on 20

Munich brings back difficult memories. The USA basketball team was jobbed there by the referees, who gave the gold medal to the Soviet Union. The Americans subsequently refused to accept their silver medals. But Munich should always be remembered for the terrorist assault and murder of 11 Israeli Olympians by Palestinian extremists.

THE OLYMPICS! The Summer Olympics are upon us and NBC projects huge ratings, thus justifying its 2014 decision to pay $8 BILLION dollars to retain broadcast rights through 2032. NBC does a great job promoting the Games with wonderful participant profiles to help viewers personally identify with athletes. Who knew that so many were refugees, cancer survivors, or orphans? These profiles are part of the reason that a majority of Olympic viewers are female. Women LOVE the Olympics. This quadrennial sports extravaganza has drama, triumph and heartbreak. It’s the ultimate reality show— with a worldwide audience. Records will be broken and thanks to You-Tube, the imagery will last forever. In fact, You-Tube has already immortalized athletes from many Olympiads ago. I sometimes pull up some classic moments when seeking inspiration.

Understanding Donald Trump To The Editor: While sometimes I wish that his wording was different or that he prefaced his comments, I completely relate and understand the manner in which Mr. Donald Trump responds. He is not a politician. He is a businessman. Decades of making high level executive decisions and deals in business teaches that when someone verbally attacks, an immediate, firm and tough verbal response is necessary or the opponent will perceive weakness. Is the perceived weakness of our current administration working for us? I have the utmost respect and sympathy for the Khan family who lost their courageous son in service to our country. At the democratic convention, Khizr Khan verbally attacked Donald Trump. Mr. Trump had not lied to Mr. Khan or his family, as Hillary Clinton did to the mothers and families of the Benghazi patriots, and the rest of us. Mr. Kahn had never met Mr. Trump and it was, in my opinion, very inappropriate for Mr. Kahn to personally attack Mr. Trump, perpetuating the Clinton and media lies. The absolute truth is that Mr. Trump does not want to ban all Muslims or deport ones who immigrate here legally, have appropriately assimilated into our society and who don’t seek to impose their

Our Story

laws (under the guise of religious freedom) upon our society. Mr. Trump has repeatedly said that we need to temporarily suspend travel from countries (1) where radical Muslim terrorists are in control, and (2) until our vetting process is greatly improved. Mr. Trump shoots from the hip, is sarcastic, and sometimes says things “tongue in cheek.” Oh, my. How dare he? In a world full of nauseating political correctness, while I find many of the things he says refreshing, real, normal and sometimes funny, many don’t. From my perspective, there is a clear choice: A blatant liar or a blunt talker. Sandra Maida Kingston, NH

Question for Congressman Guinta To The Editor: In the spirit of “doing what’s right regardless of the opposition that will be encountered,” and in view of the sell-out of the Director of the FBI and the corruption of the Attorney General, why haven’t you or any of the other 230odd House Republicans filed articles of impeachment against Hillary Clinton for the “high crimes and misdemeanors” committed by her during her tenure as Secretary of State?

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.

Dems Went Against Voters’ Wishes To The Editor: The New Hampshire Democrat establishment went against the wishes of Democrat voters when they used their Super Delegate votes to give Hillary Clinton, despite losing by 22 percent, as many delegates as Bernie Sanders. The Democrat Party establishments in other states also went against their voters’ wishes. Now we see that Hillary Clinton installed her cronies in the, supposedly neutral, Democrat National Committee (DNC) to actively work for her and against her opponents. In a fair election, Bernie Sanders may well have received the votes needed to become the Democrat Presidential Nominee. President Obama’s team participated in this fraud against Democrat voters; they reviewed the lists of donors to be rewarded with prestigious appointments, no Sanders donors were included. At the Convention, the DNC worked to silence Bernie’s supporters, limit their media coverage, and even exclude them. The leader of the DNC’s corruption, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was named an “Honorary Chairman” of Hillary’s campaign and vows to continue fighting for Hillary.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

“We’re Gonna Need A Bigger House�

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Many people yell and scream about Campaign Finance Reform while ignoring what is becoming even a bigger problem during election season. Of course, I am talking about Campaign Cardboard reform. I’m sure my critics will be quick to condemn, claiming that it is all just sour grapes. As candidate for governor for the Flatlander Party, I don’t have the resources of those running in the other two parties (it’s true, it was not me that won Powerball last week) and I will have to live with that. But Campaign Cardboard Reform has nothing to do with trying to create an equal playing field as far as finances go, it is all about public safety. Someone is going to get hurt. I have discussed before the increasing size of those cardboard political mailers that show up in our mailboxes as primary and election day get closer. First appearing in regular postcard size, they were no more annoying than many other similar sized junk mail postcards from local realtors. They all fit easily into the trash. Then something happened. The political mailers began to increase in size as though they had been exposed to some kind of scientific ray like in those bad B movies from the fifties. Each week it seemed like

they were getting bigger and bigger, harder to handle and get in and of the mailbox. Then, one day, it stopped. The things were huge, but it seemed that they had reached their breaking point and would go no further. After a while we learned to live with these giant cardboard mailers; they began to become a normal part of everyday lives every two years from June through November. I even found some useful ways to use these mailers which I have explained here in detail in the past, (You can hear me tell the story on my website www.BrendanTSmith.com) Yesterday, all of that changed. I arrived home from a day at work, collected the mail from the mailbox (no political mailers, by the way) walked into my kitchen and was confronted by the new beast. My first instinct was to run, call 911 and wait for the authorities to take care of it. After taking a deep breath, I walked a bit closer, now realizing it couldn’t harm me if I didn’t touch it first. It lay across the island in our kitchen, not moving, not breathing. It was (as I measured it later) a 22� by 17� giant cardboard political poster with the name of a candidate I will not mention (he/she knows who he/she is). I wouldn’t call it a mailer as I’m sure the post office would have nothing to do with this “thing.� (I have yet to give it a name.) As I stared at the behemoth it suddenly crossed my mind. “Where was my wife?� Did someone actually bring this to our door? Had she accepted it willingly? Had she then tried to carry it into the kitchen by herself? Had she been hurt in

the process and was now in the emergency room while I was here selfishly contemplating the complexity of this new intrusion into our homes during election season? It was then I heard her car pull into the driveway. My heart soared. She was safe. She explained to me that, no, she hadn’t pulled her car off to the side of the road, shimmied up the side of a roadside billboard and ripped this poster down and brought it home. It was, in fact, delivered by hand by someone who thought enough about this candidate to go door to door asking people if he could leave with them a piece of cardboard big enough to set up as a wind barrier against an approaching hurricane. “Did he come with a pack mule?� I asked imaging the poor animal, back loaded with these things, being led by tether down the streets of our neighborhood. My wife is an artist and she explained to me that she had accepted it willingly, thinking that it might come in useful for an art project someday. (She didn’t even know the candidate.) My wife somehow got this into the kitchen without injury. One of the lucky ones. Still, how many will not be so lucky? How many will be hurt in trying to get these things into their own kitchens? How many will be hurt when these things fall from the kitchen island onto their big toe? Something needs to be done before people start getting hurt. This isn’t about sour grapes, it’s about human decency. This thing is still in our kitchen. My wife wants to carry it to her studio by herself, but I thought it best we wait for help from some friends. Maybe tomorrow. Tonight we will have to eat out.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 11, 2016

Not All U.S. Muslim Soldiers Are Equal Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient Captain Humayun Khan died heroically. But his exceptional courage in by Michelle Malkin Iraq and his Syndicated Columnist Muslim father’s postDemocratic convention histrionics on TV do not erase the security threat posed by killer warriors of Allah infiltrating our troops. Don’t take my word for it. Ask all the forgotten Gold Star moms and dads who have lost their children because politically correct pushovers at the Pentagon looked the other way at the Muslim military menace. Don’t take my word for it. Just re-read the ignored warnings issued by Muslim soldier Nidal Hasan, the vengeful mass murderer who gunned down 13 service members -- including a pregnant private first class who lost her life and her child -- and wounded more than 30 others at Fort Hood in 2009. Two years before his rampage, while a senior-year medical school resident in psychology, U.S. Army Major Hasan delivered a 50-slide PowerPoint presentation to classmates and military superiors at Walter Reed. It was titled “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” Quoting chapter and verse, Hasan illuminated “what the Koran inculcates in the minds of Muslims and the potential implications this may have for the U.S. military.”

Hasan cited the Verse of the Sword (“I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah”), explained “offensive” and “defensive” jihad and summarized the concept of “abrogation” -- in which warring verses of the Quran trumped “peaceful verses.” In Slide 11, Hasan bemoaned: “It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims.” Slide 48 warned: “If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the ‘infidels;’ i.e.: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary i.e.: suicide bombing, etc. We love death more then you love life!” Under Conclusions, Hasan recommended that the Department of Defense “allow Muslim Soldiers the option of being released as ‘conscientious objectors’ to increase troop morale and decrease adverse events.” Cowed military superiors ignored the presentation, just as they had dismissed complaints from fellow students who noted Hasan’s exaltation of Sharia over the Constitution and support for suicide bombings. “Adverse events” was Hasan’s euphemism for bloody jihad attacks and betrayals by Muslim soldiers against their own fellow U.S. soldiers. He included a case I’ve never forgotten: Traitor Hasan Akbar, the 326th Engineer Battalion Muslim-American soldier who lobbed stolen hand grenades and shot his M-4 automatic rifle into three

Hillary’s Never-Ending Reintroductions

If only we could get to know the real Hillary Clinton. Unveiling the Hillary we supposedly don’t know by Rich Lowry has been the Syndicated Columnist perpetual, elusive goal of Clinton’s handlers for decades, with the Democratic convention in Philadelphia the latest stab at it. Hillary has made more reintroductions than should be allowed for a person who has never gone away. Political writer Jonathan Rauch has a 14-year rule that posits no one is elected president more than 14 years after winning election as a governor or senator (the traditional jumping-off points for the presidency). Elected to the Senate from New York in 2000, Hillary is technically only a couple of years past this benchmark for staleness -- except this doesn’t do justice to how long she has been around, See malkin on 35 and especially how long it feels

she’s been around. Bill Clinton announced his campaign for president in October 1991. Hillary has been with us ever since. During that campaign, Bill famously told us we’d get two for one. It’s been more than 14 years since she vouched for Bill Clinton on “60 Minutes” after the allegations of an affair with Gennifer Flowers surfaced (1992), tried to remake American health care (1993), wrote the book “It Takes a Village” to soften her image (1996) and vouched for Bill in yet another sex scandal (1998). It has been more than 14 years just from one Hillary scandal with a wholly implausible explanation (her amazingly lucrative cattle trades that were first reported in 1994) to another (her private server as secretary of state that was first reported in 2015). This is not to make a fetish of Jonathan Rauch’s 14-year rule -such rules of thumb are made to be broken -- but it speaks to how utterly, drearily, inescapably familiar Hillary Clinton is. Her handlers want to believe that people don’t See cormier on 38

Libertarianism for Beginners It took me years to figure out that markets work better than government. I started out as a typical Ralph Naderinfluenced consumer reby John Stossel porter, conSyndicated Columnist vinced that companies constantly rip us off. To me and most of my fellow left-leaning reporters, the answer was always: more regulation. Gradually, I figured out that regulation causes many more problems than the occasional rip-off artist does. Companies that served customers well prospered, while market competition meant cheaters seldom got away with cheating for long. Regulation, by contrast, lasted forever. It punished innovation, making it harder for good people to offer better alternatives. How do I spare people the long learning process I went through? A former producer of mine, Todd Seavey, has written a book called “Libertarianism for Beginners.” It lays down a few basic principles that make it easier to understand what a free market is — and how everything government does interferes with that market. “Your body, like all your property, should be yours to do with

as you please so long as you do not harm the body or property of others without their permission,” writes Seavey. That means government can’t tell people what to do unless those people threaten harm. Seavey didn’t come up with that idea himself, of course. In the book, he describes the history of philosophers and economists who’ve urged people to follow that rule for some 200 years. That rule helped make America the most prosperous and productive country in the world. Unfortunately, while those libertarian ideas allowed innovation to flourish, government and regulation grew even faster. A century ago in the U.S., government at all levels took up about 8 percent of the economy. Now it takes up about 40 percent. It regulates everything from the size of beverage containers to what questions must not be asked in job interviews. How can people be expected to keep up with it all? Seavey points out that it’s backwards to expect them to try. Instead of just looking at the complicated mess government makes, we need to review the basic rules that got us here. Instead of the rule being “government knows best” or “vote for the best leader,” says Seavey, what if the basic legal rules were just: no assault, no theft, no fraud? Then most waste and

bureaucracy that we fight about year after year wouldn’t exist in the first place. To most people, it sounds easier to leave big policy decisions — about complex things like wages, food production and

roads — to government. Having to make our own decisions about everything and trade for everything in the marketplace sounds complicated. But Seavey argues that the

The Political Picture The good news is that both political conventions are now behind us. The bad news is that the election is ahead of us. by Thomas Sowell No one Syndicated Columnist knows how this election will turn out but -- given the awful presidential candidates in both parties -- the worst case scenario may be only marginally worse than the best case scenario. National polls may suggest a close election ahead but presidential elections are not decided by who has a majority of the popular vote. In a country already divided, if not polarized, one candidate could win the popular vote and the other candidate win the Electoral College vote, which is what decides who goes to the White House. That could polarize us more than ever. Everything may depend on what happens in the battleground states where neither party has a decisive advantage. Until recently, Hillary Clinton seemed to have a clear lead in those states. But that difference has narrowed to within the margin of error in some state polls. Turnout is the wild card, in this election more than in most. There was booing in both conventions -- and there are other signs that those who lost are not taking it kindly. How the losers vote, or stay home on election day, may determine who the winner will be. If the Democrats lose this election, and Trump beats Hillary, it may not be anything more than losing a given elec-

tion, as happens regularly, and Democrats can just regroup for the next election. But if the Republicans lose, it can be much more serious for them and for the country. If Hillary Clinton inspires distrust, Donald Trump inspires disgust, even among many Republicans. If Trump goes down to defeat, he could taint the whole Republican party, costing them the Senate now and future elections later. Even if Trump disappears from the political scene after defeat, his reckless, ugly and childish words will live on in innumerable videos that can be used for years to come, to taint Republicans as the party that chose such a shallow egomaniac as its candidate for President of the United States. A President Trump could of course create a longer-lasting stigma. However, he might possibly be sobered up by the responsibilities of the presidency. But someone who has not matured in 70 years seems unlikely to grow up in the next 4 years. With Hillary Clinton as President and Democrats in control of the Senate, she can appoint Supreme Court justices with as much contempt for the law as she has demonstrated herself, and Senate Democrats would rubber-stamp her choices. Democrats have already shown their desire to stifle the free-speech rights of people who disagree with them on global warming and other issues. Hillary Clinton has made no secret of her desire to have the Supreme Court reverse its decision that corporations and labor unions both have freespeech rights.

heat—the phrase comes from ancient Greek beliefs about a star, by Becky Little, National Geographic published July 10, 2015. The ancient Greeks thought of the constellation Canis Major as a dog chasing Lepus, the hare. The star Sirius is the dog’s nose; the Greeks called it the “dog star.” The “dog days,” I always thought, were those summer days so devastatingly hot that even dogs would lie around on the asphalt, panting. Thank you Becky for helping with my opening sentence, which is, during the remainder of Primary Season; when candidates, and support staff, tend to let the heat get to them and tempers flare; Calm down and remember what this election is all about! I want to be sure that the words are remembered. Mr. Nice: “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone - and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.” What is this MAGIC BALL, and why is the U.S, moving it forward?

******** Hold on there, B. Hussein. Did you say: “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we have set. We’ve got to have a CIVILIAN national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded?” Barack, are you suggesting that we need Homeland Security, Marine Patrol, our military, our state police, and our local police departments? Where is Hellary in this proposal? Where is Trump? Who in the hell is asking the questions we Americans need answered before the November 8 Election. GOP, I have very little confidence in “the Party”, so you might want to contact me. RINOs need not reply. ******* BARACK: “Now, as a nation, we don’t promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter, who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That’s an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up.” You almost had me BHO. Could you and Hellary please explain that logic when the two of you ignite the Black war on whites, and continue to bring in Illegal Aliens to take the jobs of Americans who are losing theirs? Is it your goal to have Americans find new jobs, or have a new program that makes those who lost their jobs eligible for government funding? Where will that revenue come from? Maybe Hellary should answer that one. After all, she has made it clear she is going to raise taxes! And some Americans are afraid of Donald Trump?

Coös County’s Cohos Trail Coös County is the most northern and largest county in New Hampshire. Coös and Cohos are pronounced “COahss” with two syllables. If you say Coös as if it rhymed with ooze you’ll quickly give yourself away as a flatlander “from away.” The Cohos Trail (CT) travels the County from North to South over 165 miles utilizing old and new trails. The Southern terminus is Notchland (just north of Bartlett) at the Davis Path. The Northern terminus is the Canadian border at the Fourth Connecticut Lake. Long distance backpacking is the rage. More people than ever are hitting the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail—two trails made even more popular due to recent books and movies. The Cohos Trail is a jewel just waiting to be discovered. Or maybe we should just keep it for ourselves!

As global nomads our family can attest to some, let’s say‌’insightful’, experiences renting places abroad. Our first overseas experience as tenants was in Germany, back in the ‘70’s. From the outside, the first ‘unfurnished’ property we viewed was charming. It was Germany after all - the land of picturepost-card perfect homes of white stucco, terra-cotta tiled roofs and explosions of brilliant flowers draping from just about every window sill. But the inside of this particular place was not quite what we expected. It was empty. Not just of furniture mind you; there were no carpets on the cement floors, no closets in the square hollow rooms, no light fixtures- just bare wires dangling from the ceilings. The kitchen was also completely bare, except for the pipes sticking out of the freshly painted white walls. That’s right, no sink, cabinets nor appliances. The next was an apartment that was ‘partially’ furnished. It had kitchen cabinets a stove and small refrigerator, but nothing else. There were wardrobes and carpeting, but we would have had to negotiate for those directly with the current occupant. Unfortunately, the cost was exorbitant so, we asked our relator to change the search parameters to ‘furnished’. Which to clarify means, it has carpeting/flooring, wardrobes/closets, and a kitchen complete with cabinets, sink and appliances.

Come Play ... you might catch one of these BIG JACKPOTS! TUESDAY - American Classic Arcade Museum Once we found a suitable house and settled in, we soon were made aware that the responsibility of maintaining the state of the property lies entirely with the tenant, not the landlord. Additionally, we were expected to regularly (once a month) wash all our windows, and the common stairs inside and outside. This meant not only sweeping, but scrubbing them with soap and water- even the cement walkway out front. Then there were the expectations on tenants when they finally move out of rental property, which I can honestly say that I would rather have a root canal! In Germany, the renter is required to ensure the place is left in the same state as it was found. This includes painting the entire interior, deep cleaning everything including de-calcifying all the faucets and replacing the shower hoses, and removing any non-original improvements. This might mean plants in the garden (not of the same or approved species), the kitchen, closets, carpets, light fixtures; even if you did not install them yourself, but ‘bought’ them off the previous tenant who might have also bought them off the resident before them etc.. In fact, a

co-worker, who had been renting a place for over 20 years, had to rip up the hard wood floors and remove all upgraded light fixtures. Fortunately, dealing with landlords in some of the other countries we have lived in along the way was not so extreme. But that is another story. Suffice it to say, we hired an inspector when we moved into our current house in Belgium and we will hire him again when we move-out. So, which would you rather be - a tenant/landlord overseas or a tenant/landlord here in the states?

grade. Look at houses that were built in the late 1800s or early 1900s. You’ll notice that the top of the foundations of these homes almost always sat a good 30 inches or more above the grade. The houses had wood basement windows, and the bottom of their sills were about 6 inches above the level of the surrounding soil.

DEAR LAURA: This is another example of how building knowledge accumulated over decades by older builders is lost. All one has to do is walk through older neighborhoods in just about every major city east of the Mississippi River to see what builders of old knew: The top of a foundation should never be near the soil line or

DEAR TIM: I recently moved into a neglected house. While working on the landscaping in the front yard, I discovered that the top of the foundation was below grade. Two courses of brick on top of the foundation were covered by a mixture of dirt and mulch. What’s your opinion about how much mulch one can put up against a foundation? There are no leaks in the basement at this time, but this just doesn’t seem right to me. My lot from the house to the street seems flat to me. What can I do? What should have been done when the house was built? --Laura E., Sterling Heights, Mich.

ing code, you should realize that it’s not just a collection of minimum building standards; it’s a moving target -- in a state of near constant change. Codes from not too long ago said that you need at least 6 inches of foundation showing above the grade. What’s more, you need at least 6 inches of fall in the soil in the first 10 feet of horizontal distance away from the house. Remember, this is a minimum standard. I used to make my foundations, when possible, about 18 inches higher than the surrounding grade. Using the dirt I dug from the basement, I then was able to make a long gentle slope away from the foundation so that the ground around the house appeared level, or nearly so. The builder who built my wife’s childhood home did an excellent job of this. This house sits about 70 feet from the curb of the street and the front yard looks dead level. But guess what. It has about 24 inches of fall over that distance! I know because I checked it one day using a very accurate builder’s level

transit. The builder of your house should have done the same. In fact, it’s possible you have quite a bit of fall now, but your eyes are playing a trick on you. Get access to a laser level or transit and check to see how much fall you really have from the top of your foundation to the city sidewalk or street curb. If you can’t get your hands on one of these precision instruments, you can use a standard 4-foot level and some wood stakes of increasing length with a flat top. Using these things and a four-pound hammer, you can start to determine how much fall your front yard has from your house to the street. Place one end of the level on the top of the foundation. Drive a stake in the ground at the other end of the level so that when the level rests on it, the bubble in the level is centered between the two lines on the vial. Now move the end of the level that was on the foundation to the stake. Drive a new slightly longer stake into the ground for the other end of the level to rest on. Repeat this procedure

using longer and longer stakes until you reach the street curb. If you did everything right, the height of the last stake sticking out of the ground closest to the road tells you how much your lot has fallen away from the house as you get closer to the roadway. My guess is you’ll be shocked at how much fall there is. The other thing to watch for is creating a depressed area between your home and any sidewalk that leads from a driveway to your front door. All too often I see ponds in between these sidewalks and the house because the sidewalk acts as a dam and doesn’t allow surface water to drain away. The best way to prevent all these issues is to keep the top of the foundation at least 18 inches above grade. You can even go up as much as 24 inches. Creative planning then can make it so there are minimal steps to get up into the home. As for how much mulch one should put up against a house foundation, I say use the minimal amount. Keep in mind that during dry spells the mulch can be flammable and cause a house fire if it somehow ignites. (Need an answer? All of Tim’s past columns are archived at www.AsktheBuilder.com.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 11, 2016

Diversification Is Still Important for Retirees During your working years, your primary investment goal is generally growth – you need your money to grow so that you can eventually afford the comfortable retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. But when you retire, should you change course and adjust your investment strategy from “offense” to “defense”? Actually, it’s not quite that simple. To begin with, even while you are working, you don’t want your portfolio to be completely filled with growth-oriented investments, such as stocks. If it were, you would likely be taking on a degree of investment risk that’s too high, because, as you may know, stocks will fluctuate in price – sometimes significantly. And if you only own stocks, you could take a big hit during a market downturn. That’s why you need to have an array of investments – stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs) and so on. By spreading your investment dollars this way, you can give yourself more opportunities for success while reducing the impact of volatility on your portfolio. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses.) Now, let’s fast-forward to your retirement date. Once you retire, you may need to look at your investment portfolio somewhat differently – instead of “building it up,” you may now want to think of “making it last.” So, your first impression might be that instead of maintaining the diversified portfolio you had when you were working, you need to switch to predominantly “safe” investments, such as CDs and Treasury bonds, to reduce the risk of losing principal.

And such a strategy might indeed be effective – if your retirement were only going to last a year or so. But the chances are reasonably good that you could be retired for two, or possibly even three, decades. If that’s the case, then you will have to deal with a threat to your lifestyle that you might not have considered: inflation. We’ve had low inflation for several years, but that could change in the future. Consider this: Even at a relatively low 3% inflation rate, prices double roughly every 25 years. And depending on your personal needs and spending patterns, your personal inflation rate might be even higher. To protect yourself against inflation, you will find that investments such as CDs and Treasury bonds are typically not much help. In fact, in a low-rate environment, your returns on these investments may not even keep up with inflation, much less keep you ahead of it. That’s not to say they have no value – they can provide you with an income stream and help lower your overall investment risk. But to defend your purchasing power, you will still need some growth potential in your investment portfolio during your retirement years. Your exact percentage of stocks and other growthoriented investments will depend on a variety of factors – your projected longevity, other sources of income, family situation, risk tolerance and so on. You may want to consult with a financial professional to ensure that your portfolio mix is suitable for your needs. Many things may change in your life when you retire – but the need for investment diversification is not one of them.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investors should understand the risks involved of owning investments, including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The value of investments fluctuates and investors can lose some or all of their principal. Special risks are inherent to international investing, including those related to currency fluctuations and foreign political and economic events..

Why do birds migrate? Wouldn’t it be simpler and safer for wild birds to stay in the same regions they nest in rather than risk flying thousands of miles twice each year? In truth, if birds did not migrate their lives would be even more difficult to survive than making their vast journeys. If no birds migrated, natural food sources in their breeding areas would be depleted very quickly and many baby chicks would starve. Competition for nesting sites would, ultimately, be extremely fierce and the population of predators would increase due to the higher concentration of breeding birds and the easy meals of the nestlings. The main reason some birds migrate is for food and nesting purposes. Each spring, natural food sources are replenished as migrating, nesting birds arrive. As the food supplies dwindle in the fall, migrating birds leave to other replenished food sources in the tropics. This cycle has served wild birds well for centuries. This blueprint of migrating for food also applies to our short range migrants as well. Known as irruptions, these unique paths of movement are also due to a lack of natural food sources. Irruptions become larger when food sources in northern regions are inadequate, forcing wild birds to search for food further south than their normal territories. A phenomenon known

as fallout is just one danger migrating birds face during a long journey. From around March-May, weather conditions periodically exist where very strong, turbulent winds and rain create the “fallout.� This naturally happens when a virulent cold front crosses the Texas coast and moves into the Gulf of Mexico during the daylight hours. The rain and wind practically stops the migrating birds, forcing them to use up most of their energy reserves. Thousands of exhausted migrating birds are forced to seek any shelter and available food when they finally reach the coastline. Without adequate, natural habitats along this important coast, tens of thousands of birds would perish each migration. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

that town’s tradition. The town of Cornish’s event was titled “Old People’s Visit� for many years after its beginning in 1877, when Rev. and Mrs. James T. Jackson invited 18 elderly people to visit at the parsonage on August 17th of that year. The next year the number of visitors is said to have increased to seventy-five and the event was held at the Congregational Church. This year’s event was held on July 30th at the same church building of the 1878 meeting on Center Road though it is now titled “Old Home Day�. New Hampshire Governor Frank Rollins , our governor from 1899 to 1901, was responsible for making Old Home Day a statewide event with a purpose that went far beyond providing an opportunity for older folk to visit one another. Governor Rollins was concerned about the number of people leaving New Hampshire to pursue opportunities in other parts of the country, and his promotion of Old Home Week was directed more towards the younger people than the old. He wrote: “The purpose of this festival, inaugurated in New Hampshire in the year 1899 and designated ‘Old Home Week’, was to win back, if possible, some of the wealth which the State, with its New Eng-

Governor Rollins founded the first Old Home Week Association and presided over the 1899 celebrations in which 44 New Hampshire towns participated during the last week in August. The

number of towns holding Old Home Days increased quickly in the years following, spreading to other New England states and beyond. The State Old Home Day Association seems to be no more, nor have I been able to find any 2016 governor’s proclamation of an Old Home Week, but the celebrations continue as towns choose their own dates for their particular observance. In 1972, for example, there was a state Old Home Week association and a proclamation signed by Governor Walter Peterson marking the third week in August as Old Home Day Week. Dr. J. Duane Squires was president of the Association, and Raymond C. Smith was vice-president. Other officers were Dr. H. Raymond Danforth, Mrs. Marion Atwood, Mrs. Helen Park, and Mrs. Robert Weeks. Though probably no longer thought of as a tool to lure former residents back to New Hampshire, Old Home Day is a time for present and former residents of a particular town, as well as any interested See smith on 21

town’s observance. Square dancing has been a traditional part of New Hampton’s Old Home Day for many years. A Sunday Church service is included in some towns as a part of Old Home Week. In 1897 Frank Rollins wrote: “ I wish that in the ear of every son and daughter of New Hampshire, in the summer days,

might be heard whispered the persuasive words: ‘Come back, come back! Do you not hear the call? What has become of the old home where you were born? Do you not remember it? – the old farm back among the hills, with its rambling buildings‌â€?. So your home town still calls for you to join your friends at Old Home Day.

The Biggest Little Agricultural Fair in New Hampshire A perfect family activity with wholesome, safe and affordable family fun is a day at the Belknap County 4-H Fair. The Fair in Belmont is the biggest little agricultural fair in New Hampshire! It started as a field day that was held in 1943, where children could practice the fitting and showing of their dairy animals, helping them be more competitive at the Breed Shows and State Fairs. This was held at Walker’s Lombardy Farm on Parade Rd in Laconia. Led by the late Lillian Walker, her dream of a 4-H Fair, and having the support of merchants, friends and others who shared the dream, the next step was the “4-H Food for Victory Fair” at Opechee Park. War Bonds and stamps for the World War II war effort were sold at the fair and state-wide, and in 1944 enough money was raised to purchase Nine training aircraft for the Army Air Corps (Two from Belknap County). Col.

Harrison Thyng, the first of our war heroes to return home, flew his Thunderbird to Laconia, landing at the airport and representing the armed Forces, dedicated the plane and spent the day at the Fair. After World War II, the fair moved to the Belknap County Recreation Area, returning to Opechee Park in 1950 where it was held until it moved to the former Royal Smith Farm on Mile Hill Rd in 1977. Over the years it has developed a reputation as a familyfriendly fair, providing opportunities for young and old to make their debut in showing farm animals, home improvements and natural resource skills. Steeped in tradition,

the Belknap County 4-H Fair remains the smallest of the recognized Agricultural Fairs in New Hampshire. This year the fair will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 13th and 14th Come enjoy all the traditional fair events but 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.

Summer Fun! The Best Summer Ever Starts Right Here!

7th Annual “Paint Wolfeboro� Event Art lovers are encouraged to visit Wolfeboro on Wednesday, August 17, for the Governor Wentworth Arts Council’s seventh annual Paint Wolfeboro event. Area artists will gather at locations in downtown Wolfeboro for a day of open-air painting. Visitors can watch works of art being created and can purchase pieces either during the day or at an afternoon sale in Cate Park. Look for the artists around town in their yellow Tshirts. Paint Wolfeboro runs from 10-2, with the sale scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Community Bandstand in Cate Park. Jeannine Revere who plays in the Puckerbrush band will perform in the park from 2-3 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. Puckerbrush is a lively band of musicians who play acoustic music of Old Time, Celtic and French Canadian traditions. Children can join in the outdoor painting fun by trying their hand at watercolor painting in Cate Park from 11 to 2 p.m. For a small donation,

each child can create a painting to take home along with a watercolor kit for future fun. Children must be a least four years old and accompanied by an adult. Mouse prints will also be available from 11:30 to 1 p.m. Artists can still sign up to be part of the fun. For more information and a registration form, visit wolfeboroarts.org, or call one of the co-chairs: Debbie Hopkins (603569-4994) or Madelyn Albee (603-569-1701). Artists pay $15 to partic-

ipate ($20 day of event) and they set the price for their paintings and keep 60% of the proceeds from the sale of their work. Any unsold paintings remain the property of the artist. Money raised from the Paint Wolfeboro event funds educational activities sponsored by the Governor Wentworth Arts Council, including grants to schools and libraries in five local communities. Rain date for the event is Thursday, August 18.

Vinette Cotter, Penny Purcell, and Dale Place as Miss Marple, Miss Blacklock, and Inspector Craddock. Photo By Diana Evans A classic whodunit with a compelling Christie twist, A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED is coming to The Barnstormers Theatre on August 11th and is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. “We love to do Agatha Christie’s work here at The Barnstormers,� said Artistic Director of The Barnstormers, Robert Shea, who also directs this production. “A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED is a play where Christie’s ability to fool the audience is at its best - you think you have it all figured out, and then the ending is nothing you expected. It’s an incredible puzzle.� When an announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house, the occupants of the house and their neighbors wait on baited breath for

the appointed hour. Then, when the victim is not one of the house’s several occupants, or the neighbors, but an unexpected and unknown visitor, everything that was once known as fact is brought into question. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined Inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain. “It’s an edge-of-seat kind of story,� remarked Shea, “Both Christie fans and those who’ve never seen her work before are going to enjoy this remarkable show.� A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED will run August 11th through August 20th, with evening performances and weekend matinees.

The cast of A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED reunites crowd favorites Penny Purcell, Jean Mar Brown, Angela Hope Smith, Buddy Haardt, Madeleine Maby, Kathleen Somssich, Ryan Malyar, Cheryl Mullings, Andrew Codispoti, Dale Place, with Vinette Cotter as the clever Miss Marple herself! The Barnstormers, a 282seat, professional, Equity theatre founded in 1931, enjoys air conditioning, a hearing assist system and is wheelchair accessible. Tuesday - Saturday evenings and weekend matinees, tickets cost $12-$36 with group rates and package discounts available. Beer, wine and lemonade are available during intermission. Friday night is Family Night with special prices. For more information and tickets, visit www. barnstormerstheatre.org or call 603-323-8500.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 11, 2016

The third edition of the The Cohos Trail guidebook is now available at cohostrail.org and fine bookstores. CoÜs was spelled Cohos on early maps. This and many more fun facts and interesting wisdom about New Hampshire’s North Country are found between the pages of the book.

The Cohos Trail guidebook has a section titled “What To Do When You Meet A Moose.� Becca found a moose antler that had been chewed up by hungry critters. Squirrels, mice, porcupines, even foxes and bears eat antlers because they are full of calcium, phosphorus, and mineral salts. pateNAude from 9

Mount Washington Resort might spy a backpacker trekking down along the bank of the Ammonoosuc River on the edge of the golf course as the hiker makes his way to Cherry Mountain. But, if they are trekkers, they will continue over Mount Weeks and on to Roger’s Ledge. The AMC’s White Mountain Guide includes a few North Country hikes. Fourth Connecticut Lake Trail, Falls in the River Trail and the Percy Peak Loop come to mind. The CT connects these nice trails and these trails make super day hikes. I confess I have yet to take up long distance backpacking. Recently I have done a good number of sections of the CT in the North Woods to help me access 3,000 foot peaks. The 3ks are a much less popular list of New Hampshire peaks because most do not have trails. After a day of bushwhacking north of Route 26 in Dixville, up to the summits of Cave Mountain and Rice Mountain, we slept well in our tents. The next morning with a belly full of oatmeal

cooked on Becca’s new Jet-Boil stove we looked forward to following the Cohos Trail to Baldhead South. East of Dixville Notch

from Route 26 we took the West Branch Road, a rugged gravel road that you shouldn’t take your mother’s sedan anywhere near. My all-wheel drive

rig bumped its way to the gate at the old Kelsey Notch Road. We passed by a tractor backhoe that was attempting to smooth out some of the more washed out parts. We parked at the gate and headed up the old road. A sign read “3 Miles to Shelter�. The Baldhead Shelter was our goal since Baldhead South’s summit was just a short distance north of the shelter. The CT guidebook’s instructions include “What

to Do When You Meet a Moose� and “What to Do if You Meet a Bear�. These instructions are followed by “What to Do If You Meet a Homo Sapiens�. I giggled at the “When� you meet a moose verses “If� you meet a bear or a homo sapiens! North of the White Mountains on the CT you will see other people infrequently it warns. Becca and I hiked south on the CT up the See patenaude on 34

We followed the yellow blazes and the CT signs. Moose tracks far outnumbered the few boot prints we saw in the muddy areas. The trail was pleasant

and felt much easier than our efforts bushwhacking. We crossed through many fern glades, the foot bed of the path was not heavily worn and felt soft on our feet. The North Country is famous for its mud but we easily kept our feet dry in our trail runners since it had not rained in many days. The hike wasn’t a

In fact, the trail rolled up and down and then a final steep push and a short descent to the shelter. The Baldhead South Lean-to was empty and it looked like a nice place to make camp. In front of the small shelter an area had been cleared to provide a fine vista. We tried to convince ourselves we could see all the way to the Percy’s over the Nash Stream Forest.

ea’s moose meet here to have dance parties. Seriously, the herd paths went in every directions and we followed a clear path right to the summit bump. On the way back we took our time. Big trees, fern glades and boulders we admired and appreciated maybe a little more this time. We didn’t meet a moose but I bet we walked by one. We rolled back into civilization at lunchtime. A trip to Colebrook requires a stop at the Le Rendez Vous French Bakery! We wouldn’t dream of missing their yummy tarts and croissants. Have Fun

tents filled with sleeping commanding officers at the 101st Airborne Division’s 1st Brigade operations center in Kuwait in 2003. Capt. Christopher Seifert, 27, and Maj. Gregory Stone, 40, died during the fragging. Fourteen others suffered wounds from grenade shrapnel. Willful blindness to a Muslim-American soldier’s fundamental internal conflict of loyalties led to those murders and injuries. Despite several incidents of insubordination and prior invocation of his Islamic beliefs to skip out of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Akbar’s superiors sent him to Kuwait -- and put him in charge of clearing land mines. A decade later, in 2013, former Muslim-American Navy veteran Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif and an accomplice were convicted of plotting to kill officers and employees at a Seattle military recruiting center. The would-be killers wanted to retali-

ate against “the American military presence in the Middle East” and to prevent our troops “from going to Islamic lands and killing Muslims.” The co-conspirators cited Nidal Hasan’s Fort Hood attack as inspiration. In March, U.S. Air Force vet and avionics weapons systems expert Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, who declared himself a “Mujahid,” was convicted of providing material support to ISIS. Last spring, 22-year-old Army National Guard specialist Hasan Edmonds was arrested on his way overseas to join the Islamic State. He had plotted attacks on his Illinois National Guard Armory, police stations and courts. Over the years, I’ve reported on many more of Allah’s soldiers in American uniforms, including: --Army soldier Ali Mohamed, who pleaded guilty to conspiring with Osama bin Laden to “attack any Western target

in the Middle East” and admitted his role in the 1998 African embassy bombings. --Naval reservist Semi Osman, linked to a terrorist training camp in Oregon. --Army reservist Jeffrey Leon Battle, who pleaded guilty to conspiring to levy war against the United States. --Navy sailor Hassan Abu-Jihaad, convicted on espionage and material terrorism support charges after serving

aboard the USS Benfold and sharing classified information with al-Qaida financiers, including U.S. ship movements prior to the USS Cole bombing in Yemen. --U.S. Army Private First Class Naser Jason Abdo, who plotted to kill his fellow soldiers to “get even” with the military and strike at kafirs (nonMuslims). The military’s Muslim chaplains program has been similarly compromised by radical imams

35 tied to the jihad-waging Muslim Brotherhood. This is not “Islamophobia.” This is fact: Not all U.S. Muslim soldiers are equal. To deny the deadly risk is to enable it.

And now all eyes are on on Rio de Janeiro and the first South American Olympics. As the Games have grown, so has media coverage, which makes the event a lucrative terrorist target. (See above: Munich, 1972). It’s sad that an event that brings the world together should also be such a terrorist target—but that’s the nature of terrorism.

Cultural issues still abound, including disparate treatment of females. Some nations don’t even have women’s Olympic teams. And then there are economics. With all the income inequality in Brazil, was that country well-advised to commit to spending so many billions of dollars on sports? While terrorism, health, politics, culture and economics remain subjects of considerable attention in Rio, hopefully the biggest stories will be about the athletes. After the closing ceremonies on August 21, NBC will show Olympic highlights, set to music. Hopefully those SPORTS highlights will be the biggest and best stories to come out of Rio.

I like that the book has cartoons, making it more fun than dull economics textbooks. I hope it provides a model for looking at the world to people confused by stupid things government does.

dislike Hillary; they just don’t know her. Even if this is true, not being able to project in public qualities that make you appealing in private makes you by definition a poor politician. Over 25 years, the public surely has attained an accurate-enough picture of Hillary Clinton. They may not know all the details of her advocacy work as a young woman, but they have seen her smashmouth partisanship, her grating insincerity, her gross money-grubbing, her serial dishonesties, her caton-a-hot-tin-roof caution and her grind-out ambition that has lacked a light touch or any poetry. Hillary always points out how she is a target for attack, but the two

controversies that have dogged her in the past year were entirely of her own doing. No enemy of hers forced her to circumvent the rules to try to keep her official emails off the grid, or to take $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for three speeches. She did this to herself -- because she thought she could get away with it. In a “60 Minutes� interview, she complained that a different standard applies to her, a strange plaint after the FBI director gave her a pass on her emails. This suggests the problem isn’t that people don’t know her so much as that she lacks all self-awareness. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

us that she will make Wall Street work for Main Street. But, in the few years since Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State she has earned about $15 million mostly from speeches given to Wall Street which has already pledged or contributed more than $48 million to help her campaign. Since Hillary won’t release the speeches she gave to Wall Street, one wonders if she tells them what she tells us, that she will make them work for Main Street. Hillary promises to solve the same problems that Democrat politicians have been promising to solve, but not solving, for decades. Public education is still poor but wicked brew from 13

IPA; the only difference is the yeast. Using an English ale yeast allows fruit and biscuit esters to be present in the nose and taste. This beer is dry hopped, meaning that more hops are added to the wort (finish beer) after it is cooled. This addition is what adds some bittering notes but also much more floral ones as well. They use Warrior hops early in the boil and Centennial for flavor. Amarillo, Citra and a little Simcoe are used for dry hopping, although less than their original IPA style. Full Clip should be

expensive. Colleges are exorbitantly expensive. Many graduates have large debts but nearly worthless degrees. Good middle income jobs are vanishing. Energy costs keep rising. Healthcare is more, not less, expensive. Taxes keep increasing. But, while most Americans struggle despite politicians’ promises, the politicians and their special interest supporters keep doing better and better. About 75% of the American people feel our country is going in the wrong direction and showed that by voting, against the wishes of the political establishments, for Bernie Sanders and for nonestablishment Republican candidates. But the

poured into a pint or tulip glass so that you can enjoy the big aroma of pineapple, pear, grapefruit, and peach. With a pure white, frothy head and lacing, a mellow hazy-gold color, this 6.5% ABV beer has a medium mouthfeel and spiciness that will grab your attention. Unlike other overtly hoppy IPA’s, Clip is kind and wants to be your best friend throughout the time you open together. Full Clip is available at Case-n-Keg, in Meredith and Laconia as well as other fine beer sellers. Oh, and the name refers to watching the entire

Democrat and Republican establishments fight, and as we see even cheat, to keep the power and wealth that their positions provide. As long as the Democrat and Republican establishments are in power, the needs of the people will be low priority, only the wishes of their special interest supporters will be high priority. The Democrat establishment cheated Bernie Sanders to ensure that their candidate, Hillary Clinton, would win the nomination and advance their interests, not the peoples’ interests.
