Harry Briggs - An American Original by Mike Moffett
Sportthoughts Columnist
Early in 1995, an older gentleman came to see me in my office at NHTI-Concord, where I was then working as Public Information Officer. He explained that even though he was 74-years-old, he wanted to do a 12-mile lake swim, and was looking for someone to help him organize and publicize it. I didn’t really need an extra project, on
top of everything else I was doing, but I listened patiently to his story. After I learned that Harry Briggs was a fellow Marine, a veteran of World War II’s Pacific Campaigns, I knew I’d do what I could to help him pursue his dream. Could a 74-year-old swim 12 miles? Time would tell. But who was this interesting stranger with such an unusual goal? See briggs on 14

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Working Through The Pain
Weirs Times Editor
Every week, no matter what the conditions might be, this column must get done. Sure, most people take it for granted that when they open to this page every week there will be my smiling face looking back at them with somewhere between seven and eight hundred words filling in the rest of the space. Still, if for some reason, this column suddenly did not appear, would anyone really care? Would I even be missed? Would I be the topics of any conversations or would my name just float off in the wind? Well, this was almost put to the test last week. It was while sitting here typing another one of my amazingly witty and occasionally self-serving columns when my right index finger was caught, just for a moment, between the “L” and “O” keys. I let out a small scream which brought my wife running in from the living room. “What happened?” she asked. “I think I bruised my nail,” I said, trying hard to hold back a small teardrop. I’d suffered much worse over the years and I knew couldn’t let this moment overtake me. I got up and walked from the table and headed towards the bathroom under my own power. The finger didn’t look too bad but I knew that, since I was really a hunt and peck typer, that this injury, if it
video of Brady falling down for the 10,000th time, it made me think. How many people really remember the name of that quarterback he replaced? Even though the guy had a good career, it was pretty much forgotten once this new kid came on the scene. There’s always someone waiting in the wings to take your place. I looked at my index finger. It looked fine, but it throbbed. I didn’t have the luxury of a Tom Brady to have a score of team physicians look it over, maybe rushed to the hospital for an index finger MRI. I did, though, have that same feeling that I’m sure Brady had. What if I show I can’t do this anymore, what if I sit down to that laptop and the pain keeps me from putting together even one coherent sentence? Just like some young gunslinger waiting on the Patriots’ sideline, I know there’s some young, creative writer out there, someone who hasn’t suffered the pain of a bruised index, someone who is more than willing to see their own face on this page; their own seven to eight hundred words. I realized I couldn’t afford to let the injury make me miss a week, sending out signals to those waiting for me to go down. I took a deep breath, got out of the chair and returned to my laptop. I worked through the pain to get this column done. When my wife came in to ask how my finger was, I forced a smile. “Its fine,” I lied. I didn’t want her to worry.

proved to be worse, might put me out of the writing game for awhile, if not forever. While in the bathroom I was also thinking about what I’d tell my wife when I came out. How would I break the news to her that there might not be a column this week, that a small, yet valuable, source of our income might be in danger? I took a deep breath and opened the door to face the music. “You okay?” she asked from the living room where she had returned to her own projects. “I’m fine,” I lied. I had gotten a small reprieve from the inevitable truth. I sat down to contemplate my future and turned on the TV for some distraction. The reporter on the news channel looked very agitated. What had I missed? Was there a terrible plane crash? A bombing in the Middle East? An asteroid heading towards Earth? I turned up the volume to hear better. Once the on-air confusion had calmed down, I finally got the story. Tom Brady fell down and bumped his knee. It was on every channel and even the national news. It was, for the moment bigger than the Beghazi story, the IRS scandal and the NRS spying combined. The story soon turned into speculation and guessing, like most news stories, and soon everyone was wondering what would happen. Would this be the end of Brady’s career? Who would replace him if it was? One reporter even touched on the fact that Brady himself might not ever have gotten the chance to be as successful as he is if he hadn’t gotten an opportunity after another quarterback’s injury so many years ago. As I watched the blurry

Sticking It To Farmers To The Editor: I attended an informational meeting on August 07, 2013 at the UNH County Extension office in Boscawen on the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). I already knew the regulations were not going to be easy to understand, but I had no idea that it was 1200+ pages. This bill was signed into law in January 2011, cosponsored by Senator Judd Gregg, with a Yes vote from Senator Jeanne Shaheen. As I sat listening, one farmer asked the question “What do any of these people (those from the FDA) know about farming in New England, let alone New Hampshire?� Do they even care about the devastating effects this will have on our beautiful state? Anyways, this bill is under the guise of protecting the consumer from their local farms. One farmer asked, “How many people have gotten sick from a New Hampshire farm?� The question was answered, “They just can’t write laws for New Hampshire, and people have gotten sick in New England.� So our two Senators at the time voted for a bill that is now over 1200+ pages, and does not take into consideration New Hampshire farms, and we still do not know how many people have gotten sick from New Hampshire farms, if any. So many questions are still unanswered, that

even our own NH Department of Agriculture and the UNH Cooperative Extension Offices do not understand it completely. One thing is for sure, as was discussed by some of the larger farms, some will choose to sell their farm, some will shut down their pick-your own operations, and some farms will stop selling wholesale, these are facts discussed by farmers if these rules are implemented in their entirety. One farmer estimated his yearly cost to be somewhere between $13,000 and $30,000 just to comply with the paperwork requirements, then there is the water compliance aspect, and then there is the environmental impact, because they will not be able to spread manure within the mandatory time-frame to be compliant and will have to turn to synthetic fertilizers for their fields. So what happens to all that manure? Let’s not forget about the lost jobs. Many farmers enjoy donating extra produce to food pantries and charitable organizations, but they are already saying they will no longer be able to do this, because of the paperwork requirements. The FDA may be implementing this, but the State must enforce this mandate (which they do not have the resources to do). Who will pick up the additional cost to the State and the Farmer? It is the consumer, and I thought food prices were high now. This bill is geared toward

TIF stands for Tax Increment Financing and I am troubled to hear this term being used by some in Dover regarding future development here.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 22, 2013
The Illegal Alien Murderer Of Vanessa Pham Why is gun control the only policy we’re allowed to discuss when horrific murders occur? In the liberal mindset, “root by Michelle Malkin c a u s e s ” o f Syndicated Columnist crime begin and end with the Second Amendment. But who pays the price when our public guardians fail to secure our borders, refuse to deport serial criminal offenders, and enable drug-crazed menaces to prey upon innocent citizens? Meet 27-year-old Julio Miguel Blanco-Garcia. An illegal alien from Guatemala, he has lived and worked in Fairfax County, Va., for at least 11 years. The region is a notorious “sanctuary” for immigration law-breakers where elected officials and big business look the other way for cheap labor and cheap votes.
When he wasn’t working illegally as a construction worker in the government-fueled Boomtown ‘burb or getting himself high on drugs, Blanco-Garcia was building up a lengthy rap sheet. According to Fairfax County court records cited by the Fairfax City Patch.com, Blanco-Garcia has been arrested for: --Public swearing/intoxication in March 2010. --Petit larceny in September 2011. --Concealment/Price alteration of merchandise in April 2012. With the feds granting blanket amnesty waivers by administrative fiat and refusing to fix the deportation abyss, coupled with brazen “don’t ask, don’t tell” sanctuary policies by local officials, Blanco-Garcia managed to escape detention and deportation for more than a decade. In December 2012, the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force (which includes U.S.
Marshals staff, Fairfax County police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and D.C. fugitive operations officers) finally caught up with BlancoGarcia. They detained him after determining “that he was in violation of U.S. immigration law.” But it was too late for 19-yearold college freshman Vanessa Pham. In July 2010, the bubbly art student’s decision to be a Good Samaritan to open-borders beneficiary Blanco-Garcia cost her life. After getting her nails done at a Fairfax Plaza salon, she encountered the illegal alien and his infant daughter in the parking lot. Blanco-Garcia was strung out on $400 worth of PCP. According to prosecutors, he asked Pham to take him to the hospital. She let the man and his baby into her car. When Pham took a wrong turn, Blanco-Garcia turned on her -stabbing her more than a dozen times with a knife he was carrying. She veered into a ditch; he coldly wiped her blood off of his hands with a baby wipe and clambered out of the sunroof with the child. Cops found the blade of the murder weapon, with the killer’s DNA, under Pham’s seat. But for nearly three years, her friends and family agonized as the DNA remained unidentified and the case unsolved. The investigative break? Illegal alien Blanco-Garcia continued his criminal havoc -- surprise, surprise -- and attempted to steal several bottles of champagne from a local grocery store. He was convicted of larceny in April 2012. By December, law enforcement had tied his fingerprints to Pham’s murder. Blanco-Garcia’s trial begins next week. True to form, the whitewash media have ignored BlancoGarcia’s immigration status and the public policy impli-
cations of our government’s systemic, bipartisan refusal to enforce the laws already on the books. The Washington Post (which employed illegal alien reporter turned amnesty activist Jose Antonio Vargas for years and glorified the amnesty mob marches in 2006 and 2007) conveniently failed to mention Blanco-Garcia’s illegal alien status. Some crimes are more equal than others. According to immigration activists pushing to grant Guatemala “temporary protected status” -- a de facto amnesty program run by the Department of Homeland Security that confers permanent residency, taxpayer subsidies and preferential employment treatment to linejumpers, border-crossers and visa overstayers -- there are approximately 1.7 million Guatemalans in the U.S. A whopping 60 percent of them, like BlancoGarcia, are here illegally. That’s on top of the jaw-dropping backlog of 500,000-plus fugitive deportees who had their day in immigration court, were ordered to leave the country and then were released and absconded into the ether. And that’s on top of 1 millionplus visa holders whom the feds have lost track of because Congress never bothered to fulfill its legislative mandate to create a functioning entry-exit system -- something Washington has promised to do six times over the past 17 years. The horrific murder of Vanessa Pham was 100 percent preventable. Blanco-Garcia never should have been here in the first place. After each encounter with law enforcement, he should have been detained, deported and kept out. For good. I repeat: We spend billions of dollars on homeland security, but our government can’t even See malkin on 34

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 22, 2013
The Disgrace Of The Yankees New York Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez may be the most hated figure in sports, but he is a by Rich Lowry man for our Syndicated Columnist time. He is a master at the insincere mea culpa, at self-involvement, at pretense and greed. Not just greed for money, but for fame and glory. If he had only disgraced himself playing for the Texas Rangers, that would be one thing, but he has done it playing for the most storied franchise in sports, whose legends are synonymous with baseball greatness. So let’s consider the tale of two prodigiously talented Yankee corner infielders, separated by about 80 years and a vast moral chasm. Like Rodriguez in his prime, first baseman Lou Gehrig posted awesome offensive numbers. But what is most remarkable about him isn’t the statistics, it’s the character. He was modest even at the height of his powers, calling himself “just the Yankee who’s in there every day.” When tragedy struck, he made his debilitating illness an epic of dignity. In 1939, he removed himself from the lineup
after playing 2,130 consecutive games, for “the good of the team.” Soon after, he was diagnosed with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that killed him two years later. On “Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day” on July 4, 1939, his sobbing manager Joe McCarthy called him “the finest example of a ballplayer, sportsman and citizen that baseball has ever known.” He recalled how Gehrig told him he was quitting because he had become a drag on the team. “My God, man,” McCarthy said, “you were never that.” They called the movie about Gehrig “Pride of the Yankees.” Then, there’s Alex Rodriguez. He knows the basic rules of 21stcentury damage control: First, lie, and when that becomes unsustainable, confess and become a celebrity spokesperson against your vice. Sports Illustrated reported in 2009 that Rodriguez had tested positive for steroids in his 2003 MVP season with the Rangers. He had previously denied using steroids on national TV, but eventually admitted it, explaining that he had been young, stupid and naive. He pledged never to use steroids again. He did events for the Taylor Hooton Foundation, named in honor of a 17-year-old who had abused steroids and taken his own life. Nonetheless, here he is again,
facing a 211-game suspension for abusing steroids. Unless he’s the victim of a vast conspiracy, he has been caught cheating a second time. Perhaps because he is old, stupid and cynical? Appealing the suspension, Ro-
driguez says that he’s “fighting for his life.” The difference between the two Yankees is the difference between going away with grace when no one wants you to leave, and sticking around, See lowry on 34
Busybody Politics It is hard to read a newspaper, or watch a television newscast, without encountering someone who has come up with a new by Thomas Sowell “ s o l u t i o n ” Syndicated Columnist to society’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 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

August 24, 1884Weirs Observatory Burned A Weirs Beach observatory, owned and occupied by Alva Foster, caught fire and burned completely to the ground. The structure, known as the Orchard View Observatory, was the tower for which Tower Street in Laconia was named. Warren D. Huse, a Laconia Citizen journalist, wrote that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the burning of the observatory at Weirs Sunday night at about 11 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock made a very handsome sight for a short time, as well as a very bright light.â&#x20AC;? The cause of this fire is still unknown.

August 29, 1862 Harriet P. Dame Captured In the Second Battle of Bull Run of the Civil War in Prince William County, Virginia, Harriet P. Dame of Concord was captured by Rebel troops. She was taken while tending to wounded soldiers of the 2nd New Hampshire Infantry. Dame was immediately taken to General Stonewall Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters, but was released the next day. She was considered to be one of the best battlefield nurses in the entire Union army and was offered a number of high government offices, but repeatedly declined to be able to recruit more nurses for the Union.

Renovation Loans Give Homebuyers An Edge Just a year ago homebuyers could choose from a bounty of properties on the market. Today things are starkly different. In many locations throughout the United States, inventory of homes for sale is at historic lows, creating a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market where multiple buyers get into bidding wars over move-in-ready homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Move-in-ready homes may be selling like hotcakes, but older homes or damaged properties are often passed over,â&#x20AC;? says Margaret Kelly, CEO with RE/MAX. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big opportunity for smart buyers who are willing to overlook
cosmetic or other imperfections.â&#x20AC;? If buyers can look beyond aesthetic characteristics like paint color, hardware and floor coverings, they may discover a diamond in the rough, especially if the home is in the neighborhood where they prefer to live. For example, if they like the overall design of a particular home, but the kitchen is straight out of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s and the deck needs major repairs, a renovation loan can help them purchase the property while upgrading the kitchen and outdoor space exactly how they want them.

“Many homebuyers are surprised you don’t need a ton of money in the bank to fund improvements,” explains Kelly. “A special type of loan called a renovation loan is ideal for these types of homes because it covers both the cost of the mortgage and repairs.” Renovation loans can also help buyers who want to purchase in a particular neighborhood where most home prices exceed their budget. Properties that need work are typically listed at a lower cost and often go unsold, creating an opportunity for people willing to make improvements. Buyers can use a renovation loan to get into the neighborhood of their dreams, quickly build equity and customize a home to their personal preferences. Several variations of renovation loans are available. FHA renovation loans are called 203(k) loans. How much money you want to borrow and the kinds of improvements you plan to
11
make will determine which of the two 203(k) types you need. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have their own specific types of renovation loans. Requirements for the borrower, the amount you can borrow, and the overall structure of the loan are different for each program. Typically, the loan is based on the estimated home value after improvements, and buyers will need to get bids from licensed contractors to help determine the total loan amount as well as a timeline for the work to be completed. Because finding a home and getting approval of a renovation loan can be complicated, it’s wise for buyers to work with a real estate specialist who has experience in these types of sales. “A renovation loan really does give homebuyers an edge in today’s competitive market,” says Kelly. “It’s definitely something to research and determine whether it’s right for you.”

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 22, 2013
THE
“A Man of the People” - Nobel Peace Prize? Following one of the most egregious mistakes American voters have ever made, the first election by Niel Young Advocates Columnist of Barack Hussein Obama, some of us who do talk radio most notably Rush Limbaugh (and me) said that we hoped that Hussein would fail. Oh what an unpatriotic remark from us! We tried to tell America that his man was dangerous to the future of our country. One of the signs that we were in trouble was the words “hope” and “change”. We have hope for our future, our children’s, and our grandchildren’s future. Some of us understood the agenda for this black and white American man who rose to the most important job in the world, with next to nothing for experience to lead. Do you recall the examples of what I call “incrementalism”? Lower the comfortable frog into a slightly warm pan of water on the stove. Slowly turn up the flame. Frog becomes used to the temperature. Repeat these instructions two or three times and as the frog accepts that the water is not that hot, bingo, the frog is a goner! All because he didn’t pay attention to what was happening around him. How about the genius who found a way to capture wild pigs? Two sections of fence sprinkle some food on the ground, and each day more pigs feel safe and happy to have free food that they did not work for. Now each day that the pigs are eating “their food” – install two more sections of fencing. After four days
the pigs are now prisoners of their laziness and greed. They gave up their freedom for the free stuff. Sad story, wouldn’t happen in America right? BHO swore to uphold the US Constitution. Has he? ******** Headline: “Roadblocks around Obama’s vacation mansion are choking off business in Martha’s Vineyard towns, claim locals” – FON (friend of Niel) responds: “Now wait one minute ... aren’t these the same people who voted for Mohammed? From this point forward, I will be referring to Obama as Mohammed. If you dare to so much as draw a picture of Mohammed, the Muslim world literally calls for your beheading. If you wear an Obama mask, the media of this country and the loony left (but I repeat myself) figuratively call for your beheading because the communities of the mentally deranged believes Obama is the messiah. There is only one God and he’s a man of peace.” I cannot resist; do you know who I am? This and possibly one obscene gesture is what the tourist season Martha’s Vineyard businesses are getting from the Obama family. August is usually the time of year when businesses on Martha’s Vineyard make enough money to see them through the cold, tourist-free winter. But with the president and his family on the Massachusetts island, road closures are detouring visitors – and their dollars – away from towns near the Obamas’ vacation home. “Writing about the town of West Tisbury, the Vineyard Gazette reported that the traffic
change will keep people away from the village center at the very height of summer. Vineyard Artisans Festivals manager Andrea Rogers: “August is our make it or break it month. So this is the worst possible time of the year to block access. It impacts a lot of people. We’re really in a bad position at a critical time of year ... we’re trying to survive the winter.” ******** Be careful of what you say. I spoke with the bulls at the Missouri event where a clown has lost his job and may not be able to find employment again in his field. The bulls say the clown wearing the Obama mask was so funny they almost fell over laughing. To sum up the reaction of Obama Zombies being all shook up – is a bunch of bull! Oh no – this just in! LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KMOX) – The President of the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) says a rodeo clown act depicting President Barack Obama at the Missouri State Fair Saturday night was a hate crime. Mary Ratliff: “I think that a hate crime occurred. I think a hate crime occurs when you use a person’s race to depict who they are and to make degrading comments, gestures, et cetera, against them.” “With all of the hateful and mean things that are happening and happened in Missouri here at the rodeo, we believe that the Justice Department should look into the discriminatory practices against our sitting African-American president. In this country, discrimination is still illegal.” Is Mary confused, See advocatess on 34

Harry’s Story I learned that Harry had enjoyed a consequential life, beyond his World War II experiences, which ended with him being sent to Nagasaki not long after that Japanese city was destroyed by an atomic bomb. A native of Melrose, Mass., Harry attended Tilton Prep and then majored in history at Tufts University, graduating in 1942 before enlisting in the Marines in 1943. He later earned a Masters Degree at Boston University and then a Ph.D. at Western Reserve University in Cleveland. A natural athlete, Harry coached varsity hockey at Tufts for two years, and later played semiprofessionally for the Akron (Ohio) Stars. He also worked as a sportswriter for the old Boston Post before serving as a civilian historian for the U.S. Army. He also worked in insurance. In 1952 he returned to ice hockey and worked that winter for the Buffalo Hockey Club, then a member of the American Hockey League. The next year he used his hockey background to get a job managing the Boston Arena. Not only did Harry change jobs frequently in those days, but he also fell in love several times. Sadly, things never worked

It was there that he decided to attempt his first marathon swim, a 16-mile journey through shark-infested waters between the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia. To train for the swim, Harry climbed Switzerland’s Matterhorn Mountain, one of the most difficult climbs in the world.
“It was thrilling and terrifying,” said Harry. “But it was the worst thing I could have done before a swim. It tightened my muscles badly and my toenails were black from coming down 13 miles to the base camp in Zurmatt. I was almost crippled. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.” Undaunted, Harry still traveled to Corsica with a friend and made arrangements for that epic See briggs on 15

swim—which he completed despite sharks, windy weather, and dangerous rocks on the Sardinian shore. Harry returned to Corsica (on a boat!) and was feted as a hero. Wire services sent news of his swim all around the world. Harry found the subsequent attention to be quite validating and when he returned to the U.S. he pondered what he might do for a swimming encore. In 1956 Harry was drilling as a Marine Corps reservist when the infamous Ribbon Creek Massacre occurred at Parris Island (S.C.) Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Six recruits drowned during a night movement and suddenly there was national interest in Marine training and swimming. The Marine Reserves decided to support Harry in his quest to become the first person
6/24-8/19 to swim across Lake Erie, from Canada to the U.S. A flotilla of ten ships and half a battalion of Marines accompanied Harry for 18 miles before a big storm ended his attempt— twelve miles short. He tried again two months later, but the lower water temperature proved to be a showstopper. Harry was pulled from the lake after 20 miles. “I felt like a disgrace to myself, my family, and the Marine Corps,” recalled Harry. “I was so despondent that I decided I’d go up to Alaska, the last frontier, to get my head together.” While in Alaska, Harry

It’s a very fun time.” Participants who would like to help raise money for The WOW Trail are

As a special incentive, participants who raise $100 will receive a WOW Fest sweatshirt; raise $250 and receive a WOW Fest Jacket; raise $500 and receive the WOW Fest jacket and a $100 gift certificate to any participating sponsor. Teams are encouraged to compete for bragging rights, including the team with most participants, the team that is ‘best dressed’, the team that raises the most money and the teams with the fastest 5K and 10K finishers.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 22, 2013 briggs from 16
saukee. The press account stated that it was the first time such a feat had been accomplished. Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the honorary Laconia citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;was surprised and disappointed. He dug out an old plaque commemorating his 1963 swim and while holding it he suddenly felt that old desire to swim, for the first time in 30 years. You could take Harry out of the water, but you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the water out of Harry. A competitive athlete still resided inside the old Marine. Which is what brought him to my office that day in 1995. We talked about possibilities and he said he wanted to swim Golden Pondâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Squam Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I was candid with the old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddling Professor.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can a 74-year-old swim 12 miles?â&#x20AC;? I asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I could,â&#x20AC;? said Harry, who explained he was motivated by that earlier press account, as well as by Lydiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory. We talked about logistics and publicity and Harry promised to train. A fellow World War II Marine had a place on Squam Lake and Harry regularly hit the lake there. We â&#x20AC;&#x153;tested the watersâ&#x20AC;? with a two mile swim across Little Squam Lake, and followed that up with a five mile swim the length of Newfound Lake. The local media began to take notice and an Associated Press story about Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming ran in newspapers all over northern New England. Then it was time for the big test. Almost 12 miles, starting at the extreme east end of Squam Lake on Sandwich Beach, and ending three counties and five towns later, on Ashland Beach at the extreme west end of Little Squam Lake. Numerous boats went by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paddling Professorâ&#x20AC;? during his day-long swim, as people from all over Golden Pond yelled their encouragement. A nice crowd awaited Harry on the Ashland Beach. Harry emerged from
the water to cheers and put on a robe and was warmed by the hugs of his new fans before doing an interview with a reporter from Channel 9. Could a 74-year-old swim 12 miles? The answer was YES! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;2013â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fast-forward 18 years to 2013. As occurred in 1995, an older gentleman unexpectedly showed up outside my office door at NHTI-Concord. It was Harry Briggs. I was surprised and delighted to reconnect with the old Marine and he caught me up on his adventures. At age 92 he was still buying and selling antiques and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chaletâ&#x20AC;? was still doing business on Route 175 in Campton. He wintered in Louisiana where he swam when he could while serving as an adjunct professor of American Government at Northwestern State University. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d driven his van all the way from Louisiana to N.H. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will you help me with another swim?â&#x20AC;? he finally asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk.â&#x20AC;? Harry shared that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and he wanted to try at least one more distance swim. We eventually decided that, as in 1995, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d start by trying a two mile swim across Little Squam Lake. Later, the good folks at Plymouth State University indicated a desire to help with the project and we met and identified Labor Day, September 2, 2013, as a target day to do a Squam Lake swim. Harry is training once again. After our first organizational meeting, I drove back towards Concord and thought about what an extraordinary man Harry Briggs is. His proposed 2013 lake swim would occur 70 years after he enlisted in the Marine Corps and headed off to witness some of the horrors of World War IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Campaign. A 2013 swim would be 50 years after his 1963 Lake
Winnipesaukee Swimâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sept. 7 being the Golden Anniversary of HARRY BRIGGS DAY. During a time when unprecedented numbers of Americans are on food stamps, 92-yearold Harry Briggs is still earning a living, running a business, paying taxes, and teaching at a university. During a time when America faces an obesity epidemic, this manâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;born in 1921â&#x20AC;&#x201D;again wants to swim the length of one of N.H.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous lakes. Can a 92-year-old swim the length of Little Squam Lake? I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet against it! Michael Moffett is a Professor of Sports Management at NHTI, Concordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community College. He recently co-authored the critically-acclaimed and award-winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;FAHIM SPEAKS: A Warrior-Actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Odyssey from Afghanistan to Hollywood and Backâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;with the Marinesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is available through Amazon.com. His e-mail address is mimoffett@comcast.net.

Syndicated Columnist
Call the fire department and notify the EPA! Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be lots of smoke when we blow out the 1,000 candles on top of the Ask the Builder cake. This is the 1,000th column Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written for my syndication partners. My editor recommended that I take a trip down memory lane and share a few of the changes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in both the building and newspaper industry in the past 20 years. No problem, Dave, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get started! Cough, cough! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget that Monday morning in August 1993 when I walked into the Cincinnati Enquirer unannounced on the hunt for Ms. Ann Haas. She was the home editor who had interviewed me for a story two months before about a prestigious national award (The Big 50) that had been given to me. In May of that year, I had been selected as one of the top 50 remodelers in the U.S. There was no security at the newspaper building. I simply took the elevator to her floor, got off and walked past the low cubicles to her desk. Try doing that today in any major office building! I was there to show her three columns I had written over the weekend. To make a long story short, she bought my column on the spot and told me to sell it to other papers. Ask the Builder was born. Little did anyone know, but the golden years of the newspaper industry were about to draw to a close. This little thing called the Internet was
Cordless tool technology is, in my opinion, the biggest change to affect the building industry the past 20 years. gaining strength and power by the second. I saw it for the first time in 1995, and immediately I knew it would be the future. AsktheBuilder.com launched eight weeks after I first clicked a blue text hyperlink in September 1995. Can you believe I used to transmit my column directly into the mainframe computers of my newspaper clients? I used a DOS program called ProComm. It took all day to transmit just four columns to 50 newspapers at the blazing speed of 2400 baud. I can now send my column in one second via email. Speaking of email, most of my editors had no clue what that was in 1993! As crazy as this sounds, I used to have to mail color photos to each of my newspaper clients. Labels printed with a dotmatrix printer contained the photo captions. I sat in my basement many a late night putting these stickers on the back of the photos and stuffing and licking envelopes. How about the building and remodeling industry? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed? I could write a book about it. One thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible for one person to keep abreast of all the new products that are introduced each year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never calculated it,
but my guess is there are more than 10 new things introduced each day on average, including products and tools. If you love new products, then just get an exhibition hall pass to the national hardware and buildersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows each year. Unless you clone yourself, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never see all the new products at either show. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the math. You have perhaps eight seconds to spend at each booth, and some booths have many new products. The biggest change Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the past 20 years in tools is the explosion of cordless power tools and the major improvements in the batteries that power them. Cordless tools will not last all day like a corded tool, but some have the power of corded tools and can be incredibly handy. You can now use a cordless electric tool in places where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find it nearly impossible to stretch an extension cord. Designer styles in plumbing faucets have made giant strides. I can clearly remember the plain vanilla days of plumbing fixtures. Now the average person can have elegant china fixtures and faucets in their home at somewhat affordable prices. See builder on 36

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 government’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. The price of their self-indulgence is the sacrifice of our freedom. If we don’t defend ourselves against them, who will?

track and deport repeat convicted criminal aliens. These are not the wellmeaning “newcomers” who just want to “pursue economic opportunities” by “doing the jobs no one else will do.” These are foreign-born thugs, druggies, sex offenders, murderers and repeat drunk drivers who are destroying the American Dream. If our immigration and entrance system cannot effectively monitor, detain and kick out known American Destroyers, how can amnesty-peddling politicians in either party be trusted to provide for the common defense of law-abiding citizens pursuing the American Dream?
gracelessly, when most everyone would prefer that you go. It’s the difference between fighting for your life but not mentioning it, and saying you’re fighting for your life when you are not. It’s the difference between calling yourself “the luckiest man on the face of the Earth” when you have been dealt an ugly hand by fate, and pitying yourself when your predicament is the product of your own bad choices. From Gehrig to Rodriguez is a long way down.
discrimination? How many times was Reagan’s mask used? How many times have Liberal Loons hung George W. Bush with a rope? How many folks have stomped on “W” posters with his picture at other events because of the war that soon began after 9-1101? Obama has nearly every country in a civil war and what is he doing to stop the loss of American lives in the Middle East? It’s his economy, and it is his war!

My biggest disappointment in the past 20 years has been the staggering growth of the home improvement big box stores. I’m a capitalist and an entrepreneur, so I don’t begrudge these businesses their opportunity. Their gains, however, come at
an enormous loss for you the consumer. Countless small hardware stores and lumberyards have disappeared like ships in a storm. The competition for your home improvement dollar is fierce. Unique products and employees with decades of experi-

ence could be found at the cozy hardware or paint stores that used to be around the corner from you. Some of these older stores still exist, and those of you that have access to them should absolutely support them. What you gain in convenience shopping at the one-stop big box store you often lose in variety of products in a particular category. Let’s talk about interior trim moldings. Visit a big box store and you’ll maybe see six to eight casing or baseboard profiles. Saunter into a real lumberyard and you may see 60 or more.

Carefree spirit that he was, Poindexter never considered the consequences of riding without a helmet. -Bob Jaskolka, Brunswick OH.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Now that that special relationship appears to be well and truly restored, you can spend more time dealing with those long-needed workplace changes.

Peter Ferber Art Show At Art Place in Wolfeboro On Saturday, August 31, Labor Day weekend, The Art Place in downtown Wolfeboro will hold its semi-annual Peter Ferber Gallery Show featuring local well-known artist Peter Ferberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of new original paintings. The unveiling and artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception will commence at 9:30am, and all are welcome to attend and meet the artist. The artist Peter Ferber talks about his upcoming show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The genesis for this collection of paintings was a surprising gift to me that came on September 17th last fall. On a canoe excursion along the shore by the Bald Peak Club early one morning, after getting the shots I was after, I noticed an interesting looking cottage on the far shore of Moultonborough Neck. Since it was a beautiful, calm day, I set out across Moultonborough Bay to check it out. This was a stretch of shore I was unfamiliar with. In all my years of boating, this was always an area we sped past going somewhere else. As I approached I found a contoured shoreline with a number of small islands off of it, rather than a straight line of trees, as it had appeared from a distance. Before reaching my target, I came across a weathered little boathouse at Garnet Point, a Lakes Region Conservation Trust property. It was built in the late 1800â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;fish houseâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201C;a place to store boats and gear for a group of university boys who would come up for fishing trips. Passing the cottage I was aiming forâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;which was cute, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strike me at firstâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;a haunting two-story hulk of a boathouse began to emerge from the trees as I rounded the next small point. It was sun-bleached, leaning slightly and felt like it had appeared out of a
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garnet Point Fish Houseâ&#x20AC;? by Peter Ferber. time warp. It set me to imagining what activities must have swirled around it during its life, scenarios which were later proved true, with others which I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have imagined. But now
my canoe was drifting on to other interesting subjects. Not having anywhere else I needed to be that day, I continued following the nose of my canoe, exploring rocky, uninhabited islands and discovering the Geneva Point beach. By noontime I realized I had already gathered more than enough material for a whole showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of paintings. So, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m presenting this time, a progression of paintings from early morning thru evening, following the meandering route of my paddling that day. By coincidence, the boathouse property was a spot a friend had been trying to get me down to see for possible painting material. So, I was later able to explore that spot further, and get wonderful interior views, as well as some history that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve brought into a few of the paintings.â&#x20AC;? Since 1994 Peter Ferber has painted the official posters for the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual show, which also come as highly collectable artist proofs. Peter has exhibited in over 50 shows in New England and the Midwest. More than 100 reproductions of his work have been made, including over 70 limited edition prints. The artwork will continue to be displayed through September 13th or as long as available. The Art Place is the exclusive gallery for Peter Ferberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original artwork, and produces many of his limited edition prints. The Art Place is located at 9 North Main Street, downtown Wolfeboro, New Hampshire and is open year round and daily all summer. For more information, call 603 569-6159 or toll free 866 569-6159.
