Inter-Lakes Senior Class Craft Fair

The House That Jack Built

This article, written in 1899 by Adelbert Clark in “The Granite Monthly” tells the sad and tragic story of English Jack, The Hermit of the White Mountains. It is an interesting but not well-known small piece of New Hampshire history. We hope you enjoy reading it. —ed.

burn into the very life of man itself. Long ago he had grown weary of all the beauty and charm this world could give, so he sought out this lonely life among, the wooded peaks of the White Mountains, where he is waiting patiently for the boon of death. Many have sought him, asking for the story of his life, and up to the year 1891 he had made no reply. One bright summer day in the year I have already mentioned,

a man, James Mitchell by name, found himself seated in Jack’s humble little home listening to a brief sketch of his sad and sorrowful life. His parents died when he was only twelve years of age, leaving him to battle the storms of life alone. Remember he was very young and very romantic, and like thousands of boys at his age his head was filled with many curious ideas. The greatest desire of his See jack on 20

It is seldom anyone ever goes to the Crawfords without giving Jack a call at his rustic little home, nestling close to the base of one of the

great mountains, surrounded by trees and wild flowers. More than thirty years have rolled into eternity since he came to the Crawfords and took up his hermit life among the lonely wooded hills where he seldom sees anyone save during the hot summer months when the city folks crowd to the mountains away from the burning wrath of the sun that pours down its intense heat on the brick and stone pavements, that seems to

The Inter-Lakes Craft Fair will take place on Saturday, August 17th from 9AM to 3PM at Inter-Lakes High School in Meredith. Weather permitting, the craft fair will be located in the main ILHS parking lot off of NH-25. The high school gym will provide an indoor location if necessary. Twenty-five crafters have registered, and they will be selling a variety of handmade goods. The senior class will also be selling food and drinks throughout the day. Shoppers will find an array of jewelry, quilts, greeting cards, birdhouses, totes, dolls, and more. An event organizer emphasized the value of the craftfair shopping experience. “The prices are going to be higher, but when a person buys from these artists they are paying for so much more. The item you receive from a craft fair is hand-made, one of a kind. The money spent goes right to the artist. By supporting local artists we are fostering a creative community.”

Bart Cangialose Sr. (Right) and Bart Cangialose, Jr. spent four months renovating the former Cherrystone’s Restaurant in Gilford, NH. Now reopened for business as “Junior’s Crush House” based on the house speciality drink made with crushed ice, flavored liquors and squeezed-to-order fruit juices, the new restaurant is a true family business. To the left is Danielle Sandric, who is bar manager and Bart Junior’s girlfriend.

s

Where exactly does the name “Junior’s Crush House” come from? Well, the new restaurant on Rte 11B/Weirs Road in Gilford is named after a junior, but there is also a senior. It’s a compilation of hard work between a father and a son in, not only renovating what was once Cherrystone’s Restaurant, which had been sitting empty for over a decade, but also running the entire operation from the kitchen to the front of the house. Even though both Bart Cangialose Sr. and Bart Cangialose, Jr. worked in the restaurant business over the years, both had more recently been involved with construction. Bart Sr., an electrician for years had both knees replaced two years ago.

“I couldn’t do that kind of work anymore,” said Bart Sr. Bart Jr., had spent the years 2001-2006 working security for someone who owned six nightclubs on one city block in Orlando, Florida. He moved back to the Lakes Region in 2006 and started a construction business. “It was tough going,” said Bart Jr. “I decided I wanted to go off in a new direction and I saw how that kind of work had taken its toll on my dad and I didn’t want to go there.” It was a family decision to look into opening a restaurant. “My wife, Renee was a crucial factor in the decision,” said Bart Sr., “She has been a huge part of the process while at the same time running her own business, Jerico’s Hair Salon in Laconia.”

Shiny Toys For Governor Hassan To The Editor: Recent statements from Governor Margaret Hassan’s office regarding wind farms in Central New Hampshire has been causing some angst among local residents around Newfound Lake. Writing off registered voters around the states fourth largest lake is not a smart political move. Purposely creating uncertainty with local residents over her political support for wind farms is not a smart move. Is the Queen being deliberately dodgy about her “green� governor views. I believe so. One thing is for sure she’s a sucker for shiny toys paid for with piles of public money. She’s truly short cited: First, she fails to see an exit strategy paid for by developers. Being shortsighted is not a crime - but approving it before she understands it - surly sounds familiar doesn’t it? Second, she fails to hear arguments on protecting our watershed. Even children understand the basic laws of gravity - “what goes up - must come down�. The Queen needs to understand that building on mountaintops will effect everything below - and below is our watershed. Third, she needs to understand that the majority of residents in this area are completely opposed to the next three projects for one simple reason - it’s too much for us to handle. Four wind farms within a 15 mile radius, combined

Our Story

with four other renewable energy plants - not to mention all the new power lines - will surely have a negative impact on our community. Where else in New England has this type of renewable energy intrusion occurred? Any time you have the top elected official in the state questioning whether wind energy is a good thing, that creates concern. There remains significant debate over whether wind power would be cost-competitive without subsidies, federal tax credits and state policies meant to encourage the development of renewable energy sources. Regardless of the political debate over subsidies for wind energy, it is clear that the wind developers are running here - cash in hand - looking to build, build, build. Almost a half a billion dollars will go into outfitting this area with over 100 turbines... and they expect me to believe that $600,000 in decommission costs per wind farm will be acceptable? I think not. Let’s be more objective and make sure that we all understand the economics of it before it’s rammed down our throats. I think each and every politician should go on the record and tell residents of New Hampshire why they are for it or against it. In their statements they should outline why New Hampshire rate payers should pay more to power southern states; how many new full time/year round jobs will be created and why Massachusetts is outsourcing

Need To Thank Veterans To The Editor: I received a recent email from an old Vietnam buddy from Idaho in response to an email I forwarded to him about the recent anniversary of General James Doolittle’s famous raid over Japan following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, immortalized in the movie, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.� Earlier this year the last four survivors of that raid, all in their nineties, gathered for perhaps the last time for their annual reunion and ritual of toasting their comrades who have passed on. My good friend remarked about the significant difference between the World War II veterans and those of us who served during Vietnam. “They have great reunions. The majority of us did not keep up with each other because most of us hid the fact we served in Vietnam.� What a shame that so many of our Vietnam veterans still feel shunned some 40 years after the war ended.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Decision Made

Weirs Times Editor

A couple of weeks back I exposed the fact that I was seriously contemplating another run for Governor or New Hampshire under the Flatlander ticket, even though I had sworn I would never run again. Of course, saying such things, in the political world, usually means you will be running again. But, at the time I said it I really did mean it. I think. Now, over the past weeks I have been seeing that just by making the statement that I am considering running again, supporters of mine who want to see another campaign are already coming out of the woodwork. I was told, just the other day, that it is a known fact that I did get at least one write-in vote in the last election. So, as any one with real political blood in their veins will tell you, if you are a true politician and you know that someone will vote for you, no matter how slim your chances might be, you need that giant, bloated ego that will keep you in the race. Just ask Anthony Weiner. Still, I have a few things for me that give me a bit of an edge in this campaign season that I never had when I first ran over a decade ago. First, the population of Flatlanders is increasing in the state. Of course, a lot of natives feel that this is the reason things have

going for me that other candidates don’t. Just like John F. Kennedy with “Profiles In Courage” and President Obama with “Dreams Of My Father” I am entering the arena with a book under my belt “The Flatlander Chronicles.” In fact, it was at a recent book signing that someone asked me if I was going to run again. Then someone else in the crowd jumped up with an old “Flatlander for Governor” pin on her lapel. (Okay, it was my wife, but it still got the crowd buzzing.) Then, in a moment of heated frenzy, I threw my hands in the air and swore I would run again. It was the energy of the moment, but there was no taking it back. Soon they had me lifted high over their shoulders and carried me out into the street, heralding my decision to run. (Not really, but you will see this on my campaign commercial.) There is another great advantage to having a book. Even if people don’t read it, they will think it’s cool that you wrote one and might vote for you based on that one fact since they haven’t been paying attention to anything else at all. Since this is a significant part of the voting population, it just might give me a clear edge next year. So, all signs seem to be pointing to another campaign season coming up and this time I have a bit more ammunition going forward. But I do make this promise. If I don’t get elected next year, it will be my last try. Maybe. B r e n da n Smi th we l comes your comments at brendan@weirs.com. “The Flatlander Chronicles” is available at The Weirs Times, The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum and at The Edge in Center Harbor.

been changing here in the first place. So, why would I be any different? The motto of the Flatlander Party used to be: “We Came, We Saw, We Didn’t Change A Damn Thing!” We were the party of transplants who liked what was here and never wanted to see it change. But that was years ago and things are changing so our new motto is directed towards those bad Flatlanders who moved in and wanted more hidden taxes and regulations: “They Came, We Saw, Let’s Send ‘Em Back.” Even though campaign slogans are, in the end, worth less than the bumper stickers they are printed on, I think this will resonate. Over the past few years, people have really started to embrace the idea of third and fourth parties. Both Democrat and Republican candidates have been running on a bunch of promises that always come up empty and some people are suddenly starting to pay attention to that fact. Being a third party candidate, people don’t know yet if my campaign promises are empty, so maybe they’ll vote for me just to find out. I’ve always said that I don’t plan to do much, just collect a sweet hundred grand a year for showing up. Even if people think I am doing a lousy job, it will be a great nest egg after two years. Sure, I’ll veto bills that have new taxes and regulations and sign those that get rid of old ones, but that’s about it. I think just sitting around doing nothing is sometimes less dangerous when it comes to government. It will also be pretty cool to be chauffeured around in State Police cars. (If I want to turn on the siren, they will have to let me.) Lastly, I have something

Huntington Ravine

Dennis Whitcher denniswhitcher.com 603.630.4561

Renovation Specialists, Custom Building 31 Sturrock Place • Gilford, New Hampshire

Yours truly on top of Huntington Ravine at the trail intersection of the Alpine Garden Trail. When I hear the words Huntington Ravine I immediately think - Caution! The word caution is either the first word or is included in the first sentence of any trail description I have ever read about the ravine. The reason is simple. As one close friend told me after her trip: “It is the closest you’ll ever come to rock climbing without a rope and maybe you ought to have a rope.” We arrived at AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center well after 9am and since there was no room left in the very large parking lot we had to park on the shoulder of Route 16. The day was beautiful and finally dry and I was certain many people had the same idea as we did. The Tuckerman Ravine Trail is the most heavily used trail up Mount Washington and it is also a way to reach the Huntington Ravine Trail.

Barb is train i n g f o r running a half marathon. I convinced her to go through her pack to lighten her load. We left behind raincoats and our warmest clothing and she reluctantly left behind her super-sticky rock climbing shoes. This was a tough decision when you want to go fast and you know what is up ahead. We passed dozens of people on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail and at 1.3 miles we turned on to the Huntington Ravine Trail. The Cutler River was flowing fast and furious and we saw a few hikers had removed their boots and were wading across. Barb and I made a difficult short bushwhack up stream and found a place that we could rock hop and several young boys followed closely behind. We continued our wicked pace, breathing hard and the hot humid

weather made it tougher. The trail was more like a brook with plenty of water running between the rocks. From here to the floor of the ravine we didn’t pass anyone. We decided to climb up on See patenaude on 36

From The State House An Open Letter

To The Commissioners & Administrators of The Belknap County Convention Having participated in a “conversation” last week to try to find some c o m m o n ground with the possible future litigaby Rep. Jane tion facing Cormier Belknap District 8 our convention, it came to mind we needed some clarity. Since this conversation centered on “communication”, I would like to speak on the level of communication I personally have experienced as I believe it is pertinent to the situation this convention currently finds itself in.

I want to preface this to Commissioner Philpot and assure him, the conservative majority of this delegation are NOT bad people. Your recent remarks sir, were most unprofessional and considering the heated environment which this convention finds itself in, most unfortunate. Having said this, your comments were no worse than Commissioner Thomas angrily shouting at Chair Worsman, “You want to take this on lady?” in a public meeting early in our meeting process. The conservatives of this delegation may not always agree with the commissioners or administration, but we have never publicly communicated See cormier on 38

The “Filthy Filner” Cover-Up Yuck. Is there a woman in his sights that pervy Democratic San Diego Mayor Bob Filner hasn’t harassed, molested, insulted, propositioned, by Michelle Malkin groped, headSyndicated Columnist locked or slobbered on while holding public office? In less than a month, the number of victims and witnesses coming forward has skyrocketed from three to 13. And the details have grown even more unbelievably sordid. This isn’t a local “sex scandal.” It’s a nationwide predator scandal. When I last reported on this career creepster’s case, his fiancee had broken up with him, his former spokeswoman had revealed that Filner told her to “work without her panties on,” and the sheriff’s office had set up a Bob Filner Abuse Hotline. It’s been “lit up” with calls for weeks now, according to the city’s former police chief. Filner still holds his office and is chilling out in “therapy,” undoubtedly waiting for the heat to die down. He submitted a doctor’s note this week to avoid a deposition hearing for the sexual harassment suit filed by his former communications director, Irene McCormack, who first described how Filner put her in his trademark headlock. Beltway Democrats -- and bizarrely, many Republicans -don’t want to talk about his alleged serial sexual assaults. But more and more victims, many of whom were targets when Democrat Filner was a high-powered 10-term U.S. congressman and former chair of the House Veter-

ans Affairs Committee, are finally speaking up. On Tuesday, nurse Michelle Tyler blew the whistle on how Filner offered to help her patient, Iraq war vet Katherine Ragazzino, with VA problems only if Tyler agreed “to go to dinner with him, spend personal time with him and be seen in public with him.” Air Force veteran Eldonna Fernandez and Army veteran Gerri Tindley -- both sexual assault victims of other scumbags -- also revealed that Filner had propositioned them. And San Diegobased National Women Veterans Association of America President Tara Jones reported that there were seven or eight women in the group whom Filner had taken to dinner and groped -- “grabbed breasts, buttocks, the full gamut. ... He’s a sexual predator. And he used this organization for his own personal agenda.” San Diego City College official Lisa Curtin described a meeting in which Filner grabbed her hand and forced her to submit to a “saliva-filled kiss” -- wait, it gets ickier and stickier -- “including feeling his tongue on my cheek.” Businesswoman Patti Roscoe related how Filner “slobbered down my chin.” Entertainer Emily Gilbert told how Filner “proceeded to slide his hand down my arm and then did a little grab on my derriere” while she was singing for him at a fundraiser. Last fall, two anonymous women who “worked for or around” Filner’s congressional office warned Democrats in a letter about his “relentless and disgusting” behavior. “Many women in D.C. refer to (Filner) as ‘Bobo,’ ‘Mr. Misogynist,’ ‘Nasty Narcissist’ or simply ‘Filthy Filner.’” Headlock Bob isn’t the only one who needs his head examined.

Civilians Suffer as Afghan Clock Ticks Down UNITED NATIONS —As the

clock ticks down to an American military pullout from Afghanistan in late 2014, civilby John J. Metzler ian deaths in Syndicated Columnist the troubled country have ticked up as Taliban insurgents focus on “soft targets” and set the scene for wider intimidation in the wake of a Western pullout. The number of Afghan civilians killed in the first half of this year jumped by 23 percent to 1,319 (with 2,553) injuries according to the UN Assistance Mission. The killings spiked owing mainly to the use of deadly improvised explosive devices (IED’s) which the UN report described as the “indiscriminate use of IED’s and the deliberate targeting of civilians by anti-government elements is particularly alarming and must stop.” The UN Mission Director of Human Rights Georgette Gagnon explained, “The growing loss of life and injuries to Afghan women and children in 2013 is particularly disturbing…deaths and injuries to women and children increased by 38 percent.” The UN report outlined that insurgents “caused 74 percent of all civilian casualties and pro-government forces caused 9 percent, while 12 percent were un-attributed” or caused by unexploded ordinance. Gagnon warned poignantly, “Rising civilian causalities in the first half of 2013 paint a frightening picture for the Afghan people.” What bodes then for this beleaguered South Asian country in a virtual state of conflict since the Soviet invasion in 1979? Presidential and provincial council elections are slated for April 2014. According to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, “Afghan led and Afghan managed 2014 presidential and provincial council elections are central to Afghanistan’s stable and sustainable political transition.” Indeed free, fair and transparent elections are a key element in either strengthening the Ka-

bul government best political change to ride the wave of domestic political acrimony and uncertainty as well as the nearly certain spike in Taliban insurgent attacks which will follow the Western pullout. Even at this point the NATObacked International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) has over 87,000 troops from 49 countries. The bulk of the multinational military force is made up of American (60,000), British (7,700), German (4,400) and Canadian (950) troops. Other states such as Spain, Italy and Hungary are among the participants. The real issue remains that countries with tough and hardened combat units such as the USA and British are now down-shifting operations. Thus by setting a clear timetable and ticking clock for military withdrawal, the Obama Administration has satisfied political promises but scorned serious military concerns about the actual capacity and capability of the Afghan military and police to weather the transition. While the Afghan National Army now stands at 187,000 strength, one can reasonably assume many units are not ready for prime time. As in Iraq, the U.S. pullout signals loss of commitment. Yet even from an American viewpoint the reasons are understandable, clear and somewhat justified. Nonetheless, Washington and the Kabul government would be wise to allow for a specific postwithdrawal agreement which would limit the number of U.S., NATO and troops in country to support specific missions and to allow for a more stable post pullout transition. Beyond facing the Taliban insurgents, the ISAF units have been particularly effective in fighting and neutralizing Al Qaida terrorist elements. Reducing pressure on Al Qaida remains a foolhardy and shortsighted program. Thus what to do given the political hand of cards? Clearly what Afghanistan needs is a transparent election. As significantly the country must have a clear status of forces agreement so some key American troop elements remains in country,

contrary to the haphazard last minute arrangements in Iraq which have come back to haunt us after all the loss of life, blood and treasure.

Busybody Politics It is hard to read a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, without encountering someone who has come up with a new “soby Thomas Sowell lution” to soSyndicated Columnist ciety’s “problems.” Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than there are problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions. San Francisco and New York are both plagued with large “homeless” populations today, largely as a result of previous housing “reforms” that made housing more expensive, and severely limited how much housing, and of what kind, could be built. The solution? Spend more of the taxpayers’ money making homelessness a viable lifestyle for more people. Education is a field with endless

reforms, creating endless problems, requiring endless solutions. One of the invincible fallacies among educators is that all sorts of children can be educated in the same classroom. Not just children of different races, but children of different abilities, languages, and values. Isn’t it nice to think so? I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals’ imagination, rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with. The result is that many very bright children are bored to the point of becoming behavior problems, when the school work is slowed to a pace within the range of students who are slower learners. By federal law, even children with severe mental or emotional problems must be “mainstreamed” into classes for other students -often in disregard of how much this disrupts these classes and sacrifices the education of the See Sowell on 40

by Tom Thomson Orford, NH.

In a recent opinion piece, the heads of the New Hampshire and North Carolina AFL-CIO chapters tried to make the case against bringing Right to Work to the Granite State. However, these two union bosses instead actually made the rationale for worker freedom broadly obvious. Let’s review the vote in New Hampshire in 2011 when both the House and the Senate overwhelmingly by 60% voted to pass the Right to Work law; why didn’t it become law? Governor Lynch owed his close election of 2010 against republican John Stephen to his union supporters and it was time for payback and the Governor gladly vetoed the Right to Work law for his union friends. The argument from the Governor and the union bosses was clear; Right to Work would not bring more jobs to the state. This could not have been made clearer than when Sturm, Ruger chose not to expand their facilities here in New Hampshire, but instead chose a Right to Work state, North Carolina to grow their business. This will bring 1,200 good, new jobs to the Tar Heel state and a company spokesman made the point that our lack of Right to Work was an important factor. One company alone does not warrant a major policy shift, so let’s look at a bigger picture comparison of North Carolina and the Granite State. Over the past decade, North Carolina’s workforce has grown by 3.9%, while New Hampshire added 2.4%, meaning that

our Southern neighbor added over 133,000 more jobs than our state did. During that same time, North Carolina’s real GDP grew by 21.2%, while New Hampshire expanded by 13.3%, while, between 2001-11, North Carolina’s inflation-adjusted personal income increased by 17.6%, while New Hampshire’s growth was only 9%. This difference is not isolated to these two states. Right to Work states saw their workforces grow by 13.7% over that past decade, while non-Right to Work states saw an anemic 0.2%. Real GDP in Right to Work states increased by 21.6% while non-Right to Work states only had 13.1% economic growth. Personal incomes grew by more than double the rate in states with worker freedom than in state with forced unionization. Faced with such insurmountable and incontrovertible facts, these two labor leaders have given up the charade of suggesting that Right to Work doesn’t create jobs. Instead, they now attack the company that voted with its feet to move to a Right to Work state and suggest that the jobs in states with worker freedom simply aren’t good enough for New Hampshire. I have a bit of advice to these so-called champions of the working people. Why don’t you tell the 40,000 unemployed friends and neighbors across the state of New Hampshire that jobs in a Right to Work state aren’t good enough for them? That number doesn’t even begin to count the many people who have been out of work for so long that

they don’t even show up on the unemployment figures any longer. I know many here in the Upper Valley region who would love to have an opportunity to have a highly skilled, high paying job that a manufacturer like Sturm, Ruger would have brought to the region. Telling that these quality jobs aren’t good enough for them shows just how out of touch these union bosses have become from everyday Americans who are struggling to get by. New Hampshire has a number of extraordinary advantages that should make it a magnet for businesses like Sturm, Ruger. We have no income or sales tax, a quality workforce and a commitment to limited government that doesn’t overburden employers with regulations. While our neighboring states around us passed numerous tax increases this year, our New Hampshire budget – thanks in large part to the hard work of our Senate – held the line on spending and added no tax hikes. The New Hampshire advantage is alive and well and gives our state a majority advantage over our neighbors. By adding Right to Work to those assets we would move our economy into an even greater position to be the long term economic leader in the Northeast. The sooner we pass the Right to Work law in New Hampshire, the better off our citizens, our economy, and our state will be. Tom Thomson, of Orford, is the Honorary Chairman of Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire.

She Favors Invader Amnesty, Obama Care, Samantha Power BREITBART 8/7: House GOP: “You know you’re not doing the right thing when... Schumer: House’s by Niel Young Advocates Columnist Piecemeal Immigration Strategy OK by Us� Sen. Charles Schumer: “We would much prefer a big comprehensive bill but any way that the House can get there is okay by us. I actually am optimistic that we will get this done. I’ve had a lot of discussions with members of both parties in the House. Things are moving in the right direction.� BREITBART continues: Schumer said House Republicans now appear more open than ever to granting amnesty to illegal aliens, and are going to use the strategy of passing a large group of bills addressing specific immigration issues to get to a conference with the Senate bill. “My initial reaction was the House wasn’t going to take up any bill,� Schumer said. “That would have been very bad, no bill. Now they’re doing it in pieces.� Reaction from FON (Friend of Niel): “The GOP keeps asking me for money. I have literally told them “Thanks for listening to my opinion on immigration reform. I will never give you money ever again. I give money to originalist Constitutionalists only from now on. Take me off your list.� Do you think that’s clear enough for these people? FON continues: “I hear Congressmen and women have gotten a butt kicking in constituent meetings about the issue. This country is governed by amoral, politically correct

scum who have no real understanding of freedom and free markets. They don’t give a damn about tradition or history. All they care about is the next election. By the way, the American sheeple elect this group with adulation. Did I mention that they have no backbone? The ones who elects them have no intelligence. “I don’t really give a BLEEP what happens now to be perfectly honest. I know I’m right and they’re wrong, but they are too ‘educated’ to even understand. “I get to say ‘I told you so’ in the end when it all goes to complete BLEEP. We all were able to say that recently about Obumbles care. I just laugh at the fools who bought into that one. It completely proves my point. “It’s all about observing the entropy and decay, as far as I’m concerned, and laughing at the irony of it all. Unless some state secedes in the name of liberty and freedom, there can be no other outcome. The foundation of principles that made us great have been destroyed by the progressive scum. The people lack the wherewithal to restore those principles.� ******** No, my friend, principles are a thing of the past with both parties. Some of us have tracked the promises of our politicians for decades. Anyone who seeks the truth in packaging knows that Barack Hussein Obama is not to be trusted – and I am being kind. What is not acceptable is for republican candidates who have misled me into publicly praising them - only to find out they are no longer better than the Democrat. There will always be people who seek election who

will try to be all things to all people. Sooner or later someone who actually cares if their representative, city council. state legislator, every office right up to the president of the USA is doing what we expected of them. One of my all-time favorite bumper stickers is about where many Americans are right now, “Since I gave up all hope, I feel much better!� I admit that the future for my 11 grandchildren is bleak, and that the Obama Zombies (the “takers�, government assistance cheats) have the numbers to keep the socialism train going, but I am here to remind you that if we do not oppose them, our demise is certain. It is a question of do you love this country, your children and grandchildren. Well, do you? ******** I have a caller to the radio program who feels I allow my Pro-Life position get in the way of my thinking. He has admitted that the “Life� issue is unimportant to him. His concern is the economy. How good would our economy be now if those 55+ million aborted since Roe V Wade had been born? Oh that’s right, we are filling those empty seats with law-breaking Invaders from south of the border. And now we hear that Syrians are coming to our land. It is comforting to know that the land of free cares about saving the whales, allowing law-breakers to occupy America, probably with taxpayer assistance, and of course, our economy!

New York Preview by Pete Grasso Contributing Writer

Well, it’s that time of the year again....The annual trek to Lake Ontario! I’m READY! Last year was an abbreviated trip that we cut short because of the weather, but we still did pretty well. Also, we were informed that the camp that we had rented for the past 13 years was up for sale and would not be available for 2013, ouch! Now what? As luck would have it, I got a call in November with an offer to rent

a camp just down the river from where we usually stay. I jumped on it. However, the owner was in a divorce situation, but PROMISED, he would not put it on the market until at least November. He did have another party renting, which would enable him to keep the property for a while longer. A deposit was sent and all was beautiful. That is. until July first, when the letter arrived along with my deposit. HE SOLD THE CAMP! Now we’re in a panic situation and it looked like a trip to NY was on the schedule in order to find another rental before mid-August. Before making this move, I hopped on the

computer and e-mailed our previous landlord, asking “IF” they had sold the camp and “IF” not, would they consider a rental for our usual time slot. Well, almost a week went by before I got an answer. NO the camp was not sold and they would consider renting “IF” we would agree to let them show it if they had a prospective buyer while we were in residence. Yup, yup and yup, no problem with that. The deposit check was in the mail within an hour! Now we’re all set for business as usual. Can’t wait! This spring I added a new device to “Dr. Hook” and if it works as well on Lake Ontario as it does

on “Winni”, I’ll be VERY happy. I added one of the new Fish Hawk speed & temperature units. The old model depended on signals being sent through the downrigger cable, but this new unit is totally wireless. It consists of a transducer, a “Read out” display mounted on the dash, and a sending unit (probe) that attaches to the downrigger cable. The sending unit transmits to the transducer, which in turn relays the

readings to the box on the dash. The transducer, by itself, gives you surface temperature and surface speed. The probe sends back the temperature, at the downrigger ball, and speed at that depth. I need to add that the newest model will also give you a depth readout as well. This is a whole lot of information of which “Some” is important on Winni, particularly the bottom See grasso on 34

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 15, 2013 Community Relations, Target. “That’s why we are proud to partner with LRGHealthcare as we work to strengthen communities and enrich the lives of our guests and team members.”

Whale’s Tale Waterpark & Alpine Adventures Merge The Whale’s Tale Waterpark and Alpine Adventures are excited to announce the merger of two of New Hampshire’s premier attractions. The Whale’s Tale Waterpark began with only four watersides in 1984 and has since grown to become a nationally recognized park featuring some of the Waterpark industry’s most unique water thrill rides, along with enough leisure fun and entertainment to keep the whole family happy. The park is known around the county for its innovation and impressive customer service. Alpine Adventures constructed the first, longest and fastest zip line canopy tour in New England in 2006. The company has not looked back since. They have added two additional zip line courses, an aerial adventure course and a unique off-road

truck tour in their 6-wheel drive Swiss Army vehicles. Today, they are recognized as the most award winning adventure destination in New

England. The two companies will be operated under the Whale’s Tale’s current management team made up of Jeb Boyd CEO, Matt Boyd COO, and Kathy Brennan CIO, alongside Randy Farwell and Jeff Woodward of the owners group. Together this management team believes that the merger will allow for greater opportunities for the employees of both companies. The two companies already offer a significant number of jobs to the area and each are blessed with a tremendous team of employees. For more information, contact Jeff Woodward, 603-348-7147, woodwardsjeff@roadrunner. com or Randy Farwell, 603204-9911, randy@alpinezipline.com

LRGHealthcare Receives Grant from Target for Reach Out and Read Program LACONIA, NH – LRGHealthcare recently announced that Reach Out and Read program was awarded a grant from Target Corporation. In recognition of the efforts of LRGHealthcare in promoting childhood literacy, the grant will help purchase books for our Reach Out and Read program. “Reach Out and Read engages a parent’s most trusted advisor – their child’s doctor – to speak to parents about the

importance of reading aloud to their children every day. The doctor gives every child ages six months through five years a brand new culturally and developmentally appropriate book to take home and keep,” said Karen Davis of LRGHealthcare’s Practice Management Department. The grant is part of Target’s ongoing efforts to build strong, safe and healthy communities across the country. These efforts include Target’s long

history of giving five percent of its profit to communities, which today equals more than $4 million every week. As part of this commitment, Target is on track to give $1 billion for education by the end of 2015 to help kids learn, schools teach and parents and caring adults engage. “At Target, we are committed to serving local communities where we do business,” said Laysha Ward, President,

The existing brass rails which lined the upper level of the bar and dining area were maintained.

“At first we were going to tear them down,” said Bart Jr. “We needed to have the area more enclosed to meet code. Then we thought of putting up the sail motif between the spaces and it ended up being a great architectural element as it keeps the area with an open look.” Father and son worked right up to the opening day and are now very proud of their efforts. “We didn’t get open as early in the season as we would have liked,” said Bart Sr. “But now that we are ready we are happy with the results.” Now, what about the “Crush House” name?

am going, good-bye. My time is short; I have tried to stick it out as well as I could, but it is all up. Give me your hand, lad. One more shake, for something tells me you will be free. You will see my wife and little M a r y o nce more. Oh, how I wish I could see them! Good-by my lad.� A slight struggle in the last convulsion of the death agony, and it was all over. Jack’s best and truest friend was dead, and he was left alone. He hollowed a grave near the beach with his hands, placed the forth he loved better than his own life, within, and kissed the pale, wan brow; then he placed a handkerchief over the face and hid him away from the world forever. Jack heaped a pile of rocks over his grave and made a cross of wood to mark the resting place of the beloved captain. A week passed ‘mid the roar of a mighty storm, but when it cleared away he went out of doors, for the sun was shining brightly, just as it did on that morn months before, when they left home with little Mary and her mother bidding them good-bye on the dock in the harbor of London. Heavens of glory! Could his eyes be

deceiving him? His signal had been seen and a vessel was making for the shore. Suddenly it stopped and let down a boat. Yes, they were coming for him. He ran down the beach laughing and dancing with delight, but just before he left the island he went to the captain’s grave and kissed the bare, black rocks. Some may think it was foolish, but he loved him so. The vessel took him back to the Cape, and from there he found a ship bound for London. He took it, and a few weeks later he reached home, but Mary and her mother were not there. The mother had died and Mary had gone to the workhouse, but he soon found her to his great joy, and amid their tears he told her his story and his life on that lonely island. Time went by and they were very happy together. The owners of the Nelson heard his story and paid him his wages back from the time when he left the harbor months before. But this was not the end of Jack’s life on the high seas. For, after a time, he went to sea again, after placing Mary in a boarding-school for a year. On his return it was well calculated that they were

to be married. Many were the beautiful presents he had bought her while in Calcutta and other foreign ports. He had received many letters from her, but after a time they ceased to come. So when he once more reached London, he hastened to the school in search for her, when pitying friends told him the dreadful truth which has changed his whole life, and made him a hermit, praying always to God for the boon of death.

God can know the bitterness of it. Mary’s death was a great blow to poor Jack, from which he never recovered. All the shining silks and laces and costly jewels he had bought her were brushed aside, and he left his home in London forever, never to return. He cared not what became of himself. He has faced many dangers. He was in the Crimean War and fought on both land and sea, but yet his life was spared. He also went to India when a call came for volunteers to fight the mutineers. In those fierce battles he received many scars, but the deepest one was in his heart. Later he came to America and found his way up among the White Mountains. But how he ever came to get there I have

A large sign which reads as follows, points out the way: “The House That Jack Built.� A plank walk leads the way through the giant trees that form a beautiful arch of living green, through which the sunbeams softly filter, and where the songbirds pour forth their m e l o dy t h e l i v e - l o n g day, fluttering down and around the old man as if they loved him and wished to bring a little sunshine into his sad and lonely life. He sits before his little home and makes canes with twisted branches and dainty little baskets of sweet grass. He is always glad to welcome visitors and is very pleasant. I first learned of him through a friend of mine and have never regretted that I made him a visit last summer, though I never think of him but what a twinge of sadness creeps through my whole being. A soul, which God has made, shut out from the world forever, forlorn, and heartbroken. To me, it is more sorrowful than any language can express.

The Best Summer Ever Starts Right Here!

Nostalgic for many, the pop/rock group America will be thrilling the audience with their timeless sound when they appear at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro on Friday, August 23rd at 8pm. You won’t want to miss a minute of their lush harmonies and uplifting music. Sponsored by TD Bank, Ballentine Partners, HUB International and Morrissey’s Front Porch and presented by the Great Waters Music Festival, America has been entertaining audiences for over forty years. Barely out of their teens, Gerry Beckly, Dewey Bunnell and Dan Peek became a musical sensation during 1972 when they won a Grammy as Best New Musical Artist. Their blend of pop, rock and folk along with their infectious harmonies became an instant hit. Peek left the band later in the seventies but Beckly and Bunnell still continue to perform all over the world today, most recently returning from a New Zealand Tour. Born of English mothers and American fathers, the group developed a style much like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The three met while attending London Central High. They began performing in the London, England area and when their song “A Horse with No Name” became a major success worldwide in 1972 they relocated to Los Angeles, California. The 1970’s also saw America become Warner Brothers Records’ biggest selling act. Over the years their hits have included in addition to “A Horse with No Name”, “All My Life”, “Sister Golden Hair”, “Ventura Highway”, “Tin Man”, “You Can Do Magic”, and “Border”. In the mid-2000’s America contracted with SonyB-

MG’s new Burgundy Records label to record a new album Here and Now. Released in 2007, it became a major studio record album. In 2011, their follow-up album Back Pages was released on the E1 Music label. Over the years the group has remained very popular on the nostalgia concert circuit. America was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2006 and in Feb-

ruary, 2012 they received a star on the Hollywood Wall of Fame. Tickets for this performance may be obtained by contacting the Great Waters Music Festival at 603-569-7710, by stopping by the office at 15 Varney Road, Wolfeboro or on the Web at www.greatwaters.org.

Attracting Strangers

by Steve White Contributing Writer

Most of us who feed birds all year long have a group of regulars that visit our backyards. Depending on where you live, this list will likely contain cardinals, different finches and sparrows, a nuthatch or two, chickadees and mourning doves. But what about the other wild bird species? Chances are that you have more species around than you realize. Almost every neighborhood has diverse habitats nearby, such as a stand of trees, a bunch of shrubs, an abandoned patch of old fields or a combination of these areas. These islands of green can be magnets for a number of species. Nearly any bush or shrub of reasonable size will harbor song sparrows. Look for the typical “small, brown birds� you see in commercial areas of you community and you will recognize these species. Another wild bird you might find very close to

your yard is the towhee. The Eastern variety loves leaf litter in the brushy undergrowth beneath the secondary wooded areas common in rural habitats. The first time you see leaves on the ground being flung up like a small tornado, you will remember your first towhee sighting. Towhees sing their trademark “Drink you tea� and have a characteristic note that sounds like “Chewink.� Catbirds, thrashers and northern mockingbirds, members of the mimic family, are possible backyard visitors in similar habitats of dense low growth such as thickets, shrubs and bushes. Catbirds are robin-sized, grey birds that have a very distinct cat-like “mew� sound. Thrashers sing a variety of notes and regularly repeat the same version over and over again. Mockingbirds have an annoying habit of repeating the last sound they heard before darkness sets in. That barking dog you hear all night long may just have a set of wings! Indigo buntings have a blue color all to their own. Just like the scales of a fish, the available light from the sun exposes hundreds of hues

not found in a box of Crayola crayons. These beautiful visitors grace our northern region to raise the next generation of unexpected guests on our backyards. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH. Steve is a contributing author in major publications, a guest lecturer at major conventions in Atlanta and St. Louis as well as the host of WEZS 1350AM radio show “Bird Calls� with Lakes Region Newsday @ 8:30AM. Wild Bird Depot has donated over $5,000 to local rehabilitators and local nature centers since 1996. Be sure to check out our blog “Bird Droppings� via our website www.wildbirddepot. com.

temperature. With the surface temperature, of late, being 80 degrees, it’s helpful to locate the proper depth where the temperature is in the mid 50’s, especially if looking for salmon. Speed at this depth, on Winni, is not all that important. However, if fishing Lake Ontario, this information is priceless. First off, I want to find water temperature that is 50 degrees or slightly below. This can be a chore as the winds out there constantly move the water around. What is 50 degrees today could very well be 70 tomorrow. Finding this water is very important.

However, this is not the only key to success. The trolling speed is just as, if not more, important as temperature. On Winni, if you are running surface speeds of 1.8 – 2.2 mph you can pretty much be assured that your lure is following with the same speed. No underwater currents to contend with. Lake Ontario is another story. LOTS of underwater currents there, which significantly alter your lure speed. This is critical. Over the past years we have pretty much been flying by the seat of our pants and have been basing speed on the angles of the downrigger cables. Crude, for sure, but it does work. This new unit will take the guess work

out of all of this, we hope. That being said, I’m looking forward to a successful trip, for sure. One more project for Lake Ontario and that is to become a bit more proficient in running the Dipsy Diver®. This is a weighted disc, which is directional and will bring your line quite a way out from the side of the boat. It usually results in 250 – 350 feet of line being run out in order to reach the desired depth. This can really be a problem when the fishing spot is crowded. Most likely you have seen boats on Winni running planer boards out, which does cause issues if the boats are tight together. Dipsy Divers® are even worse. Add to that, there is no way of knowing whether or not the approaching boat has them out or not. The next thing you know, everyone on the other boat is jumping up and down, hollering “Dipsy’s out”, trying to avoid tangles lines. Yikes! What a mess. I’ve always said that they should adopt a system of flying a colored flag if they are using them. This would warn approaching boats to keep clear. When fishing the Kenai River, in Alaska, they have a system that works quite well. First off, the Kenai is VERY crowded. You can almost touch the next boat with the end of your rod. No kidding, I’m serious. If one gets a fish on, the net is placed into the upright position in the rod holder. This tells everyone a fish is on and they all move out of the way for you. IT WORKS. Why not colored flags on Ontario??? Just a thought. I’m really looking forward to this year and hope to learn how to run the dipsy’s. My friend Jeff, from Osprey Outdoor Adventures, promised to spend a couple of days on the boat teaching me. That should be very interesting. We’ll see. Later……Capt. Pete

Refreshed we continued on and it was great fun climbing over and under the boulders to reach the wall of the ravine. Between the scrubby trees and broken rock we began passing other hikers. The trail was steep and challenging and we weren’t even to the headwall yet. There were some “real� rock climbers on the Pinnacle--people wearing helmets, using ropes and placing protection. Right above us were hikers clinging to the rock trying to make their way up the most difficult trail on Mount Washington. Barb and I moved confidently up and nearly everyone cheerfully allowed us to go by. Other times hikers formed short lines and followed step by step and we would go off the route and climb far around them. Definitely some people looked like they were having more fun

I wish the man a fast recovery and I am thankful there are men and women who are willing to risk their own lives to help those that are in need. On top we popped out on the edge of the Alpine Garden. The large flat area below Washington’s cone is a beautiful sight. Barb and I for a few seconds considered heading up to the summit but decided against it. Instead we marched over to the top of Nelson Crag and enjoyed our lunches. Barb brought the most delicious chicken salad and crackers. I munched my PB & J. I was happy she shared. We descended via the Nelson Crag Trail and picked our way down the rocky often steep trail. Following a trail above treeline is definitely grand! This trail is lightly used but we did meet two youngsters that began their adventure at the two mile post of the Auto Road. Their parents would be meeting them at the summit.

tion voted to adopt the 2013 Belknap County budget authorizing the amount of $26,184,616 (about $600,000 less than what was being requested by the Commissioners). Also in this motion by Rep. Tilton, â€œâ€Śand that all funds appropriated for all line items in 2013 shall be nontransferable without prior approval of the Executive Committee or full Delegation per RSA 24:14.â€? The vote was 11 YEA - 6 NAY - and 1 absent. As of this date, there are at least 91 line items which have been moved within the budget without Executive Committee approval. And this may be but the tip of the iceberg. The vote of the delegation is simply being ignored, hence, the absolute necessity to define the governing RSA in a court of law. The Commissioners/Administration does not believe they need to abide by this vote which detailed the delegation taking line item authority of the county budget. The conservative majority believes they do. Future conventions deserve to have clarification regarding how this

RSA is defined, no matter who may prevail in the courts’s decision. I would like to reiterate, the conservative majority of this delegation is engaged, not “badâ€? and we certainly do not want to “kill governmentâ€? as was spoken by Commissioner Philpot. Rather, the checks and balances of government are serious and necessary to affect proper governance. I firmly believe this delegation would be derelict in our duty if we did not see this disagreement properly litigated by the courts. Make no mistake, this is NOT what we wished, but here we are nonetheless. (End of letter) There is much more happening in our county government than I can write here, folks. But, I can tell you, the conservative majority is paying close attention. And, THIS representative will NOT vote for anything less than fully accountable government, be it in Belknap County or Concord. And you should expect and receive nothing less from your elected officials. Be vigilant and stay engaged. Remember, â€œâ€Ś government of the people, by the people, for the peopleâ€? are not mere words.

Syndicated Columnist

DEAR TIM: I’ve got a severe erosion problem where storm water runs off my driveway. The water is creating an ugly ditch. What’s a great way to collect this water and stop the erosion? Whatever I do it needs to withstand the weight of a car or light truck, as it’s possible that tires could drive over this area. What’s to stop the erosion from happening further away from the current location? Nina N., Cary, N.C. DEAR NINA: I’ve solved problems like yours at customers’ houses and even at my own home. I’ll never forget the first trench drain I created about 35 years ago at the second home I owned. I formed and poured the actual drain using concrete. I obtained the top cast-steel grates from a metal salvage yard. Fortunately there are modern plastic and composite products that allow you to install a trench drain in hours, not days like it took me! My college geology degree helps shed an interesting perspective on the overland flow of water. That’s what’s happening in your yard. I feel you need to really understand the mechanics of the water moving so you can permanently fix your problem. Currently you’re on track to make your own miniature Grand Canyon! When it rains hard, the water flowing on hard surfaces like driveways, patios and sidewalks can’t soak into the soil. As more water falls and

More concrete needs to be added between the drain body and the wood form. moves across the hard pavements, it accumulates more potential energy. Remember when you were in your high school or college physics class, and the teacher put that really easy formula up on the blackboard (yes, we used to have black chalkboards!)? It was Force = mass X acceleration. Translated to English, this means that the water’s ability to erode gets greater as more water crosses your driveway faster. If you have a steep driveway and it’s really raining hard, the force of the water leaving the driveway might be able to move rocks as big as basketballs. I recently watched a video of flash flood water out west moving a boulder the size of a small car down a pretty flat stream! The first thing you need to study is where the water leaves the driveway. Does the water flow evenly across the entire driveway as it hits the soil, or does it get concentrated, because of the shape of the driveway, to a small area near the driveway?

If the water flows across the driveway pretty evenly, then you’ll want to put in a trench drain. These are long drains that may be 4, 6 or even 12 inches wide at the top and can be as long as 10, 20 or even 30 feet! They work See builder on 46

other children. Parents who complain about the effect of these “solutions� on their own children’s education are made to feel guilty for not being more “understanding� about the problems of handicapped students. Nothing is easier for third party busybodies than being “understanding� and “compassionate� at someone else’s expense -- especially if the busybodies have their own children in private schools, as so many public school educators do. Whether in housing, education or innumerable other aspects of life, the key to busybody politics, and its endlessly imposed “solutions,� is that third parties pay no price for being wrong. This not only presents opportunities for the busybodies to engage in moral preening, but also to flatter themselves that they know better what is good for other people than these other people know for themselves. Right now, there are people inside and outside of government who are proposing new restrictions on

how you may or may not visit the national parks that your taxes support. Among their proposals is doing away with trash cans in these parks, so that visitors have to take their trash out with them. Just how they would enforce this, when millions of people are visiting places like Yosemite or Yellowstone, is something the busybodies need not bother to think through -- much less pay a price, when trash simply accumulates in these parks after trash cans are removed. ObamaCare is perhaps the ultimate in busybody politics. People who have never even run a drugstore, much less a hospital, blithely prescribe what must be done by the entire medical system, from doctors to hospitals to producers of pharmaceutical drugs to health insurance companies. This includes federal laws requiring the turning over of patients’ confidential medical records to the federal government, where these records can be looked at by politicians, bureaucrats and whoever can hack into the govern-

ment’s computers. Neither you nor your doctor has a right to keep this information confidential. What could lead anyone to believe that they have either the right or the omniscience to dictate to hundreds of millions of other people? Our educational system may have something to do with that, with their constant promotion of “self-esteem,� and especially their emphasis on developing “leaders.� Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.

When feminists ask how this could have happened for so long, they need to start asking every last enabling Democratic woman on the Hill. They need to start asking every last enabling liberal female pundit, columnist and media insider who peddled GOPbashing War on Women propaganda while Filthy Filner was on the loose. With the grope-andheadlock count rising like Bob’s libido at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser, it strains credulity to believe that the Democratic female elite in Washington didn’t purposely look the other way at this insatiable entrenched beast’s abuse of power. Power doesn’t just corrupt the old boys’ club in threepiece suits. It corrupts the old girls’ club in pumps and progressive clothing, too.

Salome’s Stars Horoscope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Impatience with those who don’t keep up with you can cause resistance, which, in turn, can lead to more delays. Best to be helpful and supportive if you want results. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A surprise announcement from a colleague could put you on the defensive. Gather your facts and respond. You’ll soon find the situation shifting in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Time spent away from a project pays off with a new awareness of options you hadn’t considered before. Weigh them carefully before deciding which to choose. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Consider confronting that personal conflict while there’s still time to work things out. A delay can cause more problems. A longtime colleague might offer to mediate. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Some emerging matters could impede the Lion’s

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your aspect continues to favor an expanding vista. This could be a good time to make a career move, and taking an out-of-town job could be a good way to do it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disruptive family disputes need to be settled so that everyone can move on. Avoid assuming this burden alone, though.

and as large as 18 inches by 30 inches or so. You size the drain to handle the flow of water in the worst storm event. I recently installed a unique trench drain at my own home that was made from a cast polymer material. It has a strong steel grate that will take auto and light truck traffic. The top of the drain is only 5 inches across, and each section of the drain is about 3 feet long. You can connect as many lengths of this drain together as you want. The system comes with end caps and outlets to fit standard-sized plastic drain pipes.

If you plan to have traffic drive over your drain, you really should install the drain on a poured concrete base. I dug a hole for my drain and made sure I had 4 inches of concrete under my drain. I placed my drain assembly in the fresh concrete so there were no voids under the drain. I then surrounded the drain with 4 inches of concrete to lock it into place. You can put more concrete around the sides if you feel it needs it. I made sure the drain was about 1 inch lower than the outer edges of the concrete so the water would flow down into the trench drain. You don’t want to make the concrete level because then the water may decide to not flow into the drain. Be sure that you have the drain low enough to capture the water. When the water exits the trench drain through the pipe that connects to the trench drain, it will have MORE force than the water entering the drain. The trench drain and the pipe concentrate the water. Many people overlook this. To prevent erosion where the drain pipe ends, you need to create

an area of large rocks that will absorb the energy of the water and disperse this energy. As the water splashes against the rocks as it exits the pipe, the rocks act like shock absorbers. This rock area doesn’t have to look like an ugly gravel pit. Use some imagination and obtain some larger decorative rocks to create a nice hardscape feature in your yard. Keep in mind that you want the rocks in this area to be different sizes and shapes so the water energy is spread out. This allows the water to get into the top soil and soak naturally back into the ground like it used to before your home and driveway existed. Want free home-improvement information?
