By the end of the summer vacation my cronies and I - and I blush to admit it were ready to go back to school. We had roamed the quiet pastures, chasing cows and stampeding them
into spraddle-legged escape as they bounced along, blatting until the crows fled from the trees. Farmers had begun to complain that milk production had dropped off sharply. We listened and said nothing. We had spent hot summer afternoons skinny-dipping in the swimming hole and tying each other’s clothes in knots. We had explored all the caves that we knew of, fleeing in panic when Pete yelled See allard on 41

went barefoot down the trail because in just a minute we’d be standing on the south bank of the Swift River. There is no bridge and only few rocks in this sandy area so wading is necessary to ford this river. Rachel went first and tried to find the shallowest places on the sand bar as she walked through the water. The water reached the legs of her shorts and she was squealing that the water was freezing! I expected the water not to be flowing low due to the recent rains but I didn’t think it would be so cold! The fast moving water forced us to move

My niece Rachel, our friend Ellen and I had hoped to venture into the Sandwich Range Wilderness to enjoy the splendid vistas from the tops of Square Ledge and Mount Passaconaway.

George Hurt - A Proven Leader
Andrew Hemingway for Governor
To The Editor: I ask that you join me in support of George Hurt, candidate for NH House of Representatives, District 2. For the past several years, I have been registered as an undeclared voter in the town of Gilford. Why, because I am more interested in the qualifications and positions of individual candidates as opposed to political party platforms. On September 9th, a primary will be held to select the Republican candidates who will be on the ballot for the November elections. I will exercise my option to vote in the Republican Primary to support George Hurt because I believe that his previous experience while serving in the NH legislature from 19951998 and being a member of several state boards and commissions will be advantageous. His strong commitment to fiscal accountability, and his ability and willingness to compromise is what is needed during these challenging economic times for our state. Knowing that strong, decisive, experienced leadership is critical to seek a balance in the months and years ahead, George Hurt is clearly my candidate of choice to create an even better New Hampshire. I encourage you to cast your vote for George Hurt in the Republican Primary. I am convinced that he is a highly qualified candidate to again serve in the NH House representing Gilford and Meredith in District 2. Michael E. Tocci Gilford, NH.
To The Editor: Over the past 18 years the New Hampshire advantage has been destroyed by the anti-business and high tax and fee policies of three Democrat Governors. First there was Governor Jeanne Shaheen whose policies drove out competition in the Health Insurance field. When Democrat Jean Shaheen became governor there were 21 Health insurance companies in New Hampshire. The price of health insurance was competitive and the service was good. We now have only one Health Insurance company. Jeanne Shaheen also compounded our health care problems by voting yes for the disastrous Obama “Affordable Care Act”. Then we had 8 years of Governor John Lynch, a personable fellow, but whose policies resulted in higher state fees, taxes and a bureaucracy that discouraged the formation of new businesses. While our taxes, and fees have increased our employment levels have remained static. During the Lynch administration New Hampshire dropped from being one of the top states in which to do business to below average. We have now had almost 2 years of Democrat Governor Maggie Hassan. A nice person but one who is economically challenged. Being a lawyer by profession she has scant understanding of how the private sector works. The legal mind set is geared to finding tax loopholes rather than creating

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times.

wealth and employment. And her efforts to finding new investors and jobs for New Hampshire is bizarre. Who would have thought Turkey is the first place to go to find investors to bring employment to New Hampshire. I don’t question the good intentions of these three Democrat governors, but their lack of economic savvy and their policies have discouraged the formation of new businesses and the results are no growth in private sector employment. What is sad is that today over 120,000 New Hampshire citizens commute daily to jobs in Massachusetts and spend at least two hours a day fighting heavy traffic on highways 95, 93, 495 and 3. In addition to two hours wasted every day in bumper to bumper traffic driving to Massachusetts, as opposed to a 10 minute drive to a company in New Hampshire, the annual cost of commuting to Massachusetts, using the IRS standard of about of about $.50 per mile, is $10,000 in yearly car expenses. To that expense one must add Massachusetts Income Taxes of probably $3,000 per year for the typical commuter. With this $13,000 annual cost plus the frustrating, heavy traffic why would any New Hampshire commuter vote for a Democrat governor again? Andrew Hemingway is running for governor of New Hampshire.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Taking The Pledge
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
I find that I really don’t have much time to write about anything else but my run for governor of New Hampshire. Just when I think that I have taken care of everything that needs taking care of and am ready to relax, one of my opponents goes ahead and does something dumb that just takes up more of my valuable time. I realize that most people running for office don’t have much else to do with their day except, well, run for office, so they have to find new and annoying ways to keep their name in the spotlight as well as pick on their opponents. I, on the other hand, have a life beyond campaigning. I have certain responsibilities that needed to be tended to: bills to pay, lawns to cut and great movies to watch on my new HD TV. So, it was with a great deal of annoyance that I awoke the other day to find out that I now had to play this new game that is going around the campaign trails these days. It seems like every other candidate and their cousins and a lot of special interest groups as well are insisting that every other candidate sign some sort of silly pledge about something or another. Taxes, campaign spending, immigration policies, term limits,
etc...are all things now that we are being asked to sign some nutty pledge about. Some candidates will shy away from the pledge issue. When confronted with questions like; “Will you sign the pledge?� and “Why won’t you sign the pledge?� by people whose job it is to follow them around all day, a lot of candidates will look for ways to avoid answering the question. This is exactly what their opponents want. I’m not afraid of the questions. In fact, I answer them head on when asked. When out at,say, a bean hole bean supper campaigning (only because I must) a flunkie from the other campaign confronts me (just when I’m about to take a mouthful of bean hole beans, no less) and yells� “WHY WON’T YOU SIGN THE PLEDGE?� I simply turn, look them in the eye and say: “Pledge Schmedge!!� This usually draws a gasp from the crowd and a look of confusion from the flunkie who never knows how to answer since this wasn’t in their campaign playbook at all. After that they usually go away and I can finish enjoying my bean hole beans (which, in reality, I really don’t care much for). You see, I really don’t put much stock in all of this “signing the pledge business� because it really means nothing at all. In fact, you can sign pledges from now until election day and they really aren’t worth much more than the paper they are written on. As you know, a politician has a right, in fact is obligated by law (I think), to promise as much stuff to people as they can while campaign-
ing. But they are not, by law (I think), obligated in any way to fulfill any of them, as can be proven by history. Pledges are the same exact thing. They are promises made that never have to be kept. The real mistake in having someone sign a pledge is not having them sign a follow up pledge that reads: “I pledge never to break the other pledge I just signed no matter what the situation.� Now that might mean something. It’s easy to sign a pledge and then break it later, after being elected, by saying: “But I had no idea THAT would happen.� It is really no better that a promise by a four-year old. But, pledges are here to stay and as a candidate I have to deal with the annoying little buggers. So I have a few pledges of my own I want my opponents to sign. Just for fun. “If elected I pledge to actually talk to constituents about their concerns in non election years.� “I pledge not to use the celebration of someone else’s accomplishments as a photo opportunity for myself.� “I pledge I will stop asking my opponents in upcoming elections to sign stupid pledges.� Of course, they can sign or not sign any or all of them, it really doesn’t matter to me. I’m just hoping that I can keep them busy for awhile so they leave me alone. I have a lot of movies to catch up on.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 28, 2014
Guest Editorial One-Dimensional Thinking And The Minimum Wage Debate Nowhere is the onedimensional thinking of the Left better revealed than when discussing minimum by Ken Gorrell wage laws. By advocating greater government control over the exchange of labor and wages, liberal thinkers ignore not only the coercive nature of minimum wage laws but also the unintended effects of using a blunt instrument to manipulate complex economic systems. The minimum wage debate is dominated by people who don’t acknowledge the reality of the market. They want to believe that changing one variable won’t affect other variables – or at best are selective about the variables they choose to focus on. Wages are just one component of employee compensation, and compensation costs are integral to pricing and business planning. Changing one variable changes them all as the system achieves a new equilibrium. So while it might feel good increasing the hourly rate of a person working hard to support a family, methods and outcomes matter. Setting aside the liberal fallacy that people don’t move up and down the income ladder today’s minimum wage earner is not necessarily tomorrow’s - what we can predict is that the labor
market will compensate for the higher costs imposed upon it. Asian Weekly reported recently about a Seattle suburb raising its minimum wage to $15 per hour. A hotel worker admitted that while the increased wage seemed good at first, she and her fellow employees had lost their 401k, health insurance, paid holidays and vacations. No more overtime, free food, or free parking. Her employer didn’t have the luxury of passing along higher wage costs to customers, so it offset the mandated increase in wages by reducing benefits. Unless you’re willing and able to pay substantially more for a wide range of products and services, employers will do what they can to maintain price points. Supporters of increasing the minimum wage tend to gloss over the fact that price sensitivity and cost of living are not the same everywhere. Profit per employee differs markedly within and across industries, and costs of living are very different in Nashua, Laconia, Wolfeboro, and Berlin. How can a one-size-fits-all minimum wage make any sense given that reality? It doesn’t make sense, but politicians of a certain stripe think they sound “caring” when they promote such policies. They know they’ll never be held accountable for the consequences. It’s easy to create a political ad showing a few people ostensibly helped by getting raises. It’s much harder to counter with the

The Jihadi Serial Killer No One’s Talking About For two b l o o d y months, an armed jihadist serial killer ran loose across the country. At least four innocent men died this spring by Michelle Malkin and summer Syndicated Columnist as acts of “vengeance” on behalf of aggrieved Muslims, the self-confessed murderer has now proclaimed. Have you heard about this horror? Probably not. The usual suspects who decry hate crimes and gun violence haven’t uttered a peep. Why? Like O.J.’s glove: If the narrative don’t fit, you must acquit. The admitted killer will be cast as just another “lone wolf” whose familiar grievances and bloodthirsty Islamic invocations mean nothing. I say: Enough with the whitewashing. Meet Ali Muhammad Brown. His homicidal Islamic terror spree took him from coast to
coast. The 29-year-old career thug admitted to killing Leroy Henderson in Seattle in April; Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young in Seattle on June 1; and college student Brendan Tevlin, 19, in Essex County, New Jersey, on June 25. Tevlin was gunned down in his family Jeep on his way home from a friend’s house. Ballistics and other evidence linked all the victims to Muhammad Brown. Police apprehended him last month hiding in an encampment near the Watchung Mountains of West Orange, New Jersey. While he was on the run, he disguised himself in a Muslim keffiyeh. He carried a notebook with jihadist scribblings and advice on evading detection. I obtained the latest charging documents filed in Washington state, which detail the defiant domestic terrorist’s motives. Muhammad Brown told investigators that Tevlin’s slaying was a “just kill.” The devout Islamic adherent proclaimed: “My mission See malkin on 44

From Sarajevo to Now VIENNA, AUSTRIA = The
countdown started in Sarajevo in June 1914, the conflagration followed in August. The asby John J. Metzler s a s s i n a t i o n Syndicated Columnist of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb nationalist set in motion a series of events in which the great European powers marched, with near lockstep, into a war which would devour seventeen million people, devastate nations, and dismantle empires. And tragically as we know, World War One, the war to end all wars, tragically set the stage for World War II. Looking at the car in which the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot and killed along with his wife, I felt slightly queasy, not so much because of the heinous specific act of terror was committed in this rather cramped auto, but what it would trigger, the Guns of August as the author Barbara Tuchman wrote. The car, an Austrian-built Graf & Stift Phaeton, on display in the Military Museum, looks small and rather cramped. The open auto in which the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne rode in Sarajevo, that fateful 28 June a century ago, opens an exhibit on the First World War which commences with the optimistic and proud patriotism of 1914 but quickly descends into the depths of Dante’s inferno as
the war progresses and devours all sides until 1918, and the disillusion of the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian empire. As the one leaves the Austrian Military Museum a banner reads, “Wars Belong in the Museums.” I agree. But in the warm Summer sunshine outside the imposing Museum, we’re jolted into the present. View the Middle East’s grim landscape; Iraq under siege by a medieval Caliphate of Islamic fundamentalists, Syria’s gruesome civil war, Libyan chaos, conflict in Gaza. And then there’s Ukraine, a war on the doorstep of prosperous and selfabsorbed Europe. Oh, and have we mentioned Afghanistan? In 1914 we witnessed the clash of Empires; Austro-Hungary, Imperial Germany, and Ottoman Turkey facing Great Britain, France, Imperial Russia, and later the young United States. By WWII, and thereafter we saw the clash of totalitarian ideologies; Fascism, Nazism, Communism with the Free World. Today we witness the clash of civilizations, as the great political scientist Samuel Huntington wrote, essentially the potential clash not so much with specific state political ideologies, but rather cultural/religious systems. Some of these political/religious fault lines in the Mid-East date to WWI and the infamous Anglo/French, Sikes-Picot deal redrawing regional borders in Syria and the Levant. So we transition from the ter-
rorist Black Hand in Sarajevo a century ago to the ISIS black flags in Iraq and Syria today. Contrary to 1914 when great empires with hubris and untested military power wished to strut on the world stage, today
most countries, expect perhaps for the People’s Republic of China or Putin’s Russia choose to understate their power. Viewing China, Japan, Russia and Vietnam we see the lingering

Random Thoughts R a n d o m thoughts on the passing scene: I don’t know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to supby Thomas Sowell port a crimiSyndicated Columnist nal justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television -- and even punishment is being meted out by CNN’s showing the home and address of the policeman accused in the Ferguson, Missouri shooting. One of the big differences between Democrats and Republicans is that we at least know what the Democrats stand for, whether we agree with it or not. But, for Republicans, we have to guess. It is amazing how many otherwise sane people want Israel to become the first nation in history to respond to military attacks by restricting what they do, so that it is “proportionate” to the damage inflicted by the attacks. Amid all the things being said on all sides about the massive, illegal influx of children from countries in Central America, we have yet to hear some American parent saying, “I don’t owe it to anybody to have my child exposed to diseases brought into this country, no matter what problems exist in other countries!” Two headlines in the August 10th New York Times speak volumes about Barack Obama. The top headline reads: “Iraq Strikes May Last Months, Obama Says.” A secondary headline reads: “No Ground Force Will Be Sent, He Repeats.” Time was when enemy
spies had to risk their lives to acquire such information. Now all they have to do is read the headlines. It is amazing how many people think they are doing blacks a favor by exempting them from standards that others are expected to meet. If you want to know who was the greatest baseball player of all time, please check out the pitcher who led the American League with the lowest earned run average in 1916. He was the only ballplayer who could do it all, including stealing home. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was a hawk compared to Barack Obama. At least Chamberlain was building up his country’s military forces while trying to appease Hitler. Obama is cutting back on our military forces while our enemies around the world are expanding theirs. Medical authorities who are trying to reassure us that safeguards will prevent the spread of Ebola in the United States may be unconvincing to those of us who remember how they lied about whether AIDS could be transmitted by blood transfusions. They may be telling the truth this time, but credibility is one of those things that are far easier to maintain than to repair. Too many people in Washington are full of themselves, among other things that they are full of. However common it may be in politics to “split the difference” when making decisions, it is unconscionable to send American troops into a war zone in numbers too small to defend themselves.

testifying before a Congressional committee in the IRS scandal investigation, told us all we needed to know, even if we never get the information that was supposedly “lost” when Lois Lerner’s computer supposedly crashed. Ted Williams’ great career was interrupted twice by military service -- once during World War II and again when he returned to the Marine Corps during the Korean war. What sports star today would voluntarily interrupt a Hall of Fame career to go fight for America, after having already served in the military? Despite TV pundits who say that public opinion polls show Barack Obama is in trouble, the president is not in the slightest trouble. He is doing whatever he feels like doing, regardless of the Constitution and regardless of how many people don’t like it, because he is virtually impeachment-proof. The country is in huge trouble and real danger because of his policies, but he is not. One of the most frustrating aspects of watch-
ing television news programs that feature debates is the guests who sidestep any question that gets to the heart of the issue at hand, and just go off on a tangent, repeating their standard talking points. That’s usually a good time to change the channel or turn off the TV. If politics were like sports, we could ask Israel to trade us Benjamin Netanyahu for Barack Obama. Of course, we would have to throw in trillions of dollars to get Israel to agree to the deal, but it would be money well spent.

panies to New Hampshire can bring good paying jobs. Andrew Hemingway knows we need to create the environment that will attract smart young entrepreneurs to come to New Hampshire, which will provide promising employment opportunities in the private sector. Ten thousand college students graduate from New Hampshire colleges every year. Most would love to set their roots in New Hampshire and would remain here if they could find a job. A Republican Governor - Andrew Hemingway would lead the way to bring new investment and jobs to New Hampshire. In the once great states of Illinois, California and New York, Democrat governors have ruined the economies there. Employment opportunities in those states have shrunk and their citizens have been voting with their feet. A vote for entrepreneur Andrew Hemingway would reverse the sad employment trend in New Hampshire. Please vote for Andrew Hemingway in the Republican Primary for Governor of New Hampshire on Tuesday September 9. David Scott Dover, NH.

We continued past the tent platforms and to the shelter. The shelter is just a few feet from the edge of the water. There were two people sitting inside
and they did their best to ignore us. The pond is pretty. The clouds were very low but we could just see Owl’s Cliff and its ghostly reflection through the haze on the flat water. We enjoyed the scenery while we munched our peanut butter and honey sandwiches. As we were leaving we ran into a few families that had come up from
the north end. Since cars can travel on the Sawyer River Road in the summer the distance to hike to the pond is only 1.5 miles, three miles shorter than coming from the Kanc.

Only 6.4% of cardiac arrest victims survive because people witnessing the incident do not know CPR. Over 200,000 people die of Sudden Cardiac Arrest every year. 50,000 of those could be prevented with CPR. For every minute that an AED is unavailable, the victim has a 10% less chance of survival. Why is CPR important? Once the heart stops beating, brain death occurs in 4 to 6 minutes. Performing CPR provides oxygen to the brain and other vital organs to give the victim the best chance of full recovery after EMS takes over. If CPR is given within the first 4 minutes of a cardiac arrest, the chances of survival double. According to the American Heart Association, 70% of Americans feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because either they do not know how to administer CPR, or their training has significantly lapsed. Fortunately, there is something you can do! Huggins Hospital offers a Heartsaver class to the public each month. The next class will be held on Saturday, September 13th from 8am to Noon. We can also bring the CPR course to your business or organization. Classes can be held at Huggins Hospital or at your place of business or organization’s meeting place. The class can be customized to meet the needs of the group. For more information or to register for a CPR class, contact Debbie Simone, RN, at 569-7500, ext. 7379 or via email at education@hugginshospital.org.

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
The school year is starting. We all love our kids, of course, and want them all to have the best, most successful year possible. The big question is: how can we support our kids to help them reach their best? There are many ways ranging from helping them with organization to learning to go to bed on time. Backpack safety is a big one (use two straps, don’t carry too much). The one that really sticks out though is nutrition. It should be obvious, but a kid that is poorly nourished doesn’t perform in school as well as they could have. I stated it should be obvious, yet many kids eat diets filled with junk food, food dyes, artificial sweeteners, tons of sugar, and basically loads of empty calories. If this is what our kids are eating, and this appears to be the case if you look at obesity numbers, we are either ignoring our children’s nutrition needs or we are too lazy to change them. That may sound harsh, but this is serious business. Teach a kid poor habits and they seem to stick for life. How bad is the situation? According to a 2013 study in Great Britain: 80% of kids are not eating the recommended five servings of fruit/vegetables per day, at age 13,
73% of boys and 85% of girls don’t get an hour of physical activity per day, yet 74% of boys and 68% of girls watch at least 2 hours of television per day. Our country is not much different. Recent surveys have shown an increase in fruit consumption. Yet, even with this increase the National Cancers Institutes has noted that 60% of kids were short of their fruit needs daily and 93% of American kids eat less vegetables than recommended. The take away from all this: a 2008 study in the Journal of School Health revealed that kids with healthy diets performed better than kids with unhealthy diets. Thus we have to improve the quality of what our kids eat. This is simple: increase fruits, veggies, lean protein, and make sure carb sources are healthy (like the extra healthy ones from veggies, root veggies, and fruit). We need to decrease sugar, processed food, and empty calories. This may be a tricky change if your kids have poor eating habits. It will be worth it though, both in the short term and long term. I think the best way to help kids make this transition is to stop buying junk food completely, so its not even an option for them and to model healthy choices yourself, If we start eating healthy, the tiny humans usually follow suit. Be the role model, your kids deserve. I don’t always do that, either, but I’m working on it! There are many diet plans that may or may not be a healthy fit for you and your family. My advice is to do some research and speak with your healthcare

provider. In the meantime, following the simple rules of eating things that are found in the outer ring of your grocery store (usually this is the produce/ meat areas) and eating only things that you can read and comprehend the ingredients are good options. If an ingredient sounds like something from an alien language or a lab project, don’t consume it. Seriously, don’t over think it. The writer Michael Pollan summed it up perfectly in his book In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” We all want the best for our kids, right? Then make that happen for them. You can’t guarantee anything, but you can give them the edge. Being healthy now and always, is the best thing for them. Help them be successful by helping them with homework, spending time with them, and loving on them. They can all do amazing things, but they can only go as far as their health allows. Give them the chance to be the best version of themselves and have a great school year. Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC., graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2007.

Quality Vitamins & Supplements • Nutritionist on Staff
A Life In Balance
by Dr. Charles Fink
FInk Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center Excerpts from “Healing with simple healthy food” by Dr Aimee Shunney ND who has a private practice in California specializing in women’s health, functional endocrinology & family medicine
It is very important to make time for stress reduction, keeping to an exercise regimen and putting your life in balance. Work, sleep, play, family to name a few should all be in balance. Everyone has heard the old adage, ‘you are what you eat’. I might add that you are only as good as the good foods you eat. If your diet consists of mostly prepackaged or frozen foods and grains you are stressing your system and aging your body. When a patient complains of aches & pains, headaches, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, etc. often it is due to a life out of balance. Eating a well balanced diet consisting of colorful fruits and veggies, fish, fermented foods, sea vegetables, healthy spices can greatly increase your body’s ability to function at its best. Some diet suggestions such as a rainbow of fruits and veggies will not only supply needed vitamins and minerals, but also contain phytochemicals such as carotenes, chlorophyll and flavonoids which help to fight against the effects of cancer. Some examples are: sweet potatoes (which also help to control blood sugar levels and are high in vitamin C, betacarotene & vitamin A), berries, dark green leafy vegetables, (which are a great source of calcium) kale, collards, broccoli, brussel sprouts are also highly beneficial. Eat Fish: Fish contain
long chain omega-3 fats (EPA-DHA) These are very important when it comes to decreasing inflammation, reducing our risk for heart disease, diabetes & cancer. They also have been shown to support mood and memory. “Fish is also an excellent source of protein and dense nutrition including the minerals iodine & selenium. Fermented Foods: These foods are excellent for a healthy gut. They help with beneficial bacteria to prevent bacterial and yeast overgrowth and provide support for a healthy bowel and immune function. Eating fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchee, miso, tempeh and kombucha can add to a life & tummy in balance. Sea Vegetables: “Do you know that we don’t make a single mineral in our bodies? We have to get them from our food.” Sea vegetables have many times more mineral content than land. The easiest way to get these in is by eating sushi or buying nori sheets and eating them as a wrap with hummus or black bean dip. Kelp flakes are a tasty alternative to salt as well. Healthy Spices: Cooking with spices to improve
the taste of your food can benefit your health. Cayenne is an effective pain reliever, helps in digestion and supports a healthy heart. Cinnamon & Ginger are proven to be helpful as well. Turmeric is good for reducing inflammation and the treatment of various cancers. And lastly garlic and onions reduce inflammation, support heart health and promote detoxification. For more information on how to keep your life and body in balance, call Dr Fink at Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center 603-524-4555 or check him out on the web at www.finkchiro.net

“Dear children! You are not aware of the graces that you are living at this time in which the Most High is giving you signs for you to open and convert. Return to God and to prayer, and may prayer begin to reign in your hearts, families and communities, so that the Holy Spirit may lead and inspire you to every day be more open to God’s Will and to His plan for each of you. I am with you and with the saints and angels intercede for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Blessed Mother has been giving a Message to the World every 25th day of the month since June 1981.
“As I began planning my wedding and anticipating all the photographs sure to be taken, I started to regret the lack of follow-up I had after having braces as a kid. Dr. Kennell assisted me with an Invisalign treatment plan and gave me back my confidence, all in the time for my wedding pictures to be amazing; with a smile to last a lifetime!”

If I were a voter in CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 2 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY by Niel Young With lots Advocates Columnist of help from Priscilla Morrill, Monadnock Ledger-Transcript: A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Lawrence is a consultant who works with the U.S. Department of Defense. He is the first AfricanAmerican to run for Congress in New Hampshire. His focus in his recent visit to Peterborough was on limiting federal regulation and interference, citing the Affordable Care Act and Common Core as examples. He also noted the increasing burden on New Hampshire communities in funding education. Lawrence said he’s opposed to the Northern Pass, and its potential environmental impacts for the state. “I would not substitute temporary infrastructure jobs for permanent tourism jobs,� Lawrence told the Ledger-Transcript Editorial Board. Lawrence also had something to say about foreign policy, calling for the U.S. to show more of its might in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, but he stopped short of suggesting that the U.S. send more military troops there. “Sanctions are a good start, but Putin’s n o t i m p r e s s e d , � L a wrence said. “How about if we provide arms to the Ukranians, that’s a decisive action.� ******** DAVE: Don, Polls don’t look good in NH and AZ. Liberal Scott Brown--with Romney and McCain’s help--is surging in
NH and Andrew Thomas has no chance in AZ for the same reason (RINO PAC money) prior to Tuesday’s AZ Primary. Nothing for Conservatives to be happy about, the RINOs will continue to dominate and control the GOP. And Independent Conservatives like me will continue slamming them. What will change? Not much. ******** DON: This is sad news, Dave. It looks like the RINOs have a firewall around themselves. The main hope I see for the future is not a change in the acting cast but a change within the actors themselves. I have noticed an amazing transformation lately, on a seemingly small scale at this point but significant. I have noticed that many mainstream semiconservative writers are now writing about the plight of Christians, Jews and other minorities in the Middle East. As Bush was leaving office, little attention was paid in the press or even the blogosphere to this. There was an obsession with garnering US support for this or that group of Muslim fighters, with emphasis on getting rid of Assad in Syria--who is and was the most proChristian and pro-minority leader in the Muslim world. It is astonishing to think that the majority of Americans could be convinced that he was the worst evil there, and their opinion was shaped 100% by neocon propaganda! Now it is clear that the ones he was fighting were by far the worst evil the world has seen in decades. There are several factors in this change: 1. Israel, our ally, is bombing civilian
populations in very much the same way Assad was. We can hardly condemn him for doing what our ally is doing, especially, since this is probably the only way to survive in the war against terrorists. Though no one is saying it, the fact is, ISIS would not exist if, instead of opposing Assad, we had sent him military aid. That is now crystal clear. 2. And now that it is clear that we were supporting people who later morphed into ISIS, the older absurd foreign policy position is untenable. The fact is, the elites will hammer on their insane agendas only until a certain percentage of the people notice the lies. Then they are forced to change. Not because we did anything but because they live by a certain code that obliges them to stop the foolishness once a certain percentage of observers see what they are up to. So now the US elites are obliged to change their anti-Christian and anti-American policies in the ME. With the outbreak of Ebola and the news of more and more criminals coming to our country from the south, I believe the same phenomenon will happen with regard to immigration. Americans generally want the borders closed and no longer welcome illegals. Remember that Greece was once arguably the most hospitable country in the world, and they opened their borders and hearts to everyone. Until, that is, the crisis hit. Now they are angry, very angry, and immigrants are keeping a low profile. They have also lost their See advocates on 35

DEAR TIM: It seems every month there’s a new cordless tool. The claims about power and run time seem unbelievable. Before I start investing heavily in cordless tools, I’m wondering if you can weigh in. Are they advancing to where they really can perform equally with a corded tool? What’s the latest information you can offer about lithium-ion batteries, and what separates a good cordless tool from a great one? --Mike S., Fall River, Massachusetts. DEAR MIKE: Just a couple weeks ago I attended a tool conference hosted by a power tool company that’s probably the leader in cordless power-tool technology. They make amazing batteries and tools. I had dinner with the engineer in charge of their entire lithium-ion battery division and had an extended one-on-one discussion about batteries. As you might expect, I asked him all sorts of pointed questions about where the industry is on the power and technology curve with lithium-ion. I also asked about the differences between battery packs that appear to be similar. I discovered there

Most cordless power tools have a squarish plastic battery pack -- the thing that plugs into and powers the tool. Inside this case you’ll discover multiple small cylinders that contain lithium-ion. These small cells in shape and size resemble a five-dollar roll of dimes you might get from the bank. A simplistic explanation of battery
power is this: If you want more voltage, you need to have more of these cells connected to one another in the large black plastic case. However, the reality isn’t that simple. As you might expect, not all lithium-ion cells are the same quality. Moreover, the way the cells are packed inside the case and connected to one another is not the same. If the cells are not protected against water and shock,

The workshop is in conjunction with the exhibition, “Anne Frank: A History for Today� that will be at the Wright Museum from September 13 to October 25, 2014. Participation in this workshop is free to all educators, but reservations must be made. Hilary Eddy Stipelman, Director of Outreach and Exhibitions at the Anne Frank Center, New York City, will conduct this workshop that examines the life and times of Anne Frank through her di-
ary, family photographs, and documentary. This interactive workshop will provide opportunities to make connections with literacy, history, and visual learning themes as participants identify and further develop discussion topics for use in the classroom. Using the Anne Frank: A History for Today exhibit on display at the Wright Museum of World War II, this workshop will model effective ways to engage students in addressing and responding to primary resources, providing teachers with the tools they need to develop lessons for use both in and outside the classroom.

Back On Schedule
by Pete Grasso Contributing Writer
Well, here I am again apologizing for being so delinquent in keeping up with a biweekly article. It seems like I had much more time when I was working full time. Oh well. In any case, a LOT has gone on since I last penned a few words on paper. I think the last article I did was right after I came back from float fishing the Salmon River in New York. YIKES, that was in March. In the interim, the ice went out late. Well, not really late, but more “Traditional” than it has been in the last few years. Late April was most likely the norm. It caught me pretty good this year as I had charters booked from the 18th on and ice went out on the 25th. There was a bit of shuffling, but all worked out well and we only had a minimum number of clients that could not reschedule. Late ice out or not, the fishing was still pretty good and we took a good number of quality salmon and rainbows. All on flies, of course. Weather wise, it was pretty good and no days were lost to bad weather. The Winni Derby came and went with no surprises. Shortly after the Winni Derby, the New Hampshire Guides Association provided a number of boats for a couple of van loads of “Wounded Warriors” from the Boston area. Great bunch of fellows and we
had a blast on “Dr. Hook”. Everyone started late (9:00 AM), but a few fish were taken and a lot of stories told. Hope we get to do this again next year. June was a bit slow…….. graduations, weddings and the like. No problem as this is when the lake is forming a thermocline and fishing is usually a bit slow. In early July we had an issue with our Lowrance recorder. The transducer decided to call it quits. Well, this was a “Top of the line” unit back in the day, but that was about a dozen years ago (or more). I tried EVERYWHERE to pick up another transducer, but none was to be had. Yuck, this meant an investment in a newer machine. Not what I had in mind, but………….We invested in a Lowrance HDS-8 Gen 2. Nice machine and a bit more sophisticated than the old LMX-104. The only down side is that this has an 8” screen and my old unit was a 10”, which was a bit better for those of us that are visually challenged. No matter, we’re getting used to it. Also, I decided NOT to make the trek to Lake Ontario this year, which will be the first time not going out in 27 years. A whole bunch of reasons “Why”. It’s a LOT of work hauling the boat 400+ miles (8 ½ hours), the cottage we usually rent is up for sale & we couldn’t rent it. This meant a trip out there to locate new lodging. And finally, scheduling warm bodies didn’t seem to work out well. Everyone seemed to have other issues to address. In any case, after going out for so many years, if I want to fish, all I have to do is pick up the phone and schedule a drive out there. LOTS of friends with boats that would be glad to provide a day on the water. All in all, it’s been quite a run and I have LOTS
of memories (my son & grandson’s first king salmon. Both at the age of 9). Carving up the derby winner (didn’t register it) because my scales were off, having a tire go out while on the NY Freeway, enduring a hurricane, high water and thunderstorms. I have no regrets! Now we’re into the fall fishing (mid-August) and everything seems to be about 2 weeks behind. The salmon should be really hitting the flies about now and they are slow to take them. Water temperature is still pretty high and multiple weather fronts moving through also plays a small part in the scheme of things. You can’t help but also attribute the late ice out as a factor. Ice was about 2 weeks later than the last couple of years and the fall “Bite” appears to be about 2 weeks behind. Maybe, maybe not! I promise to do my level best to get back on schedule… Later…Capt. Pete

jobs that weren’t created; the people not hired; the extra hours not worked; the loss of non-wage benefits; or the businesses that chose not to expand. Those are the effects that manifest themselves after the politicians’ sound bites are printed and the cameras are turned off. Professor Mark Perry, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, calls minimum wage laws “coercive governmentmandated price controls� that give politicians and governmentbureaucrats greater control over the lives of ordinary citizens. He ended a recent essay by asking, “If you’re willing to allow and accept government control over the wages for unskilled workers, what other powers are you willing to grant the government, and what other freedoms are you willing to sacrifice?� That’s a question we should be asking ourselves while demanding answers from those campaigning to represent us. There are real and damaging consequences to giving one-dimensional thinkers greater control over us in our multidimensional world. In November we’ll have a chance to change the thinking in Concord by voting for representatives who will support policies that promote business development in general rather than trying to micromanage businesses. If we vote wisely, we won’t have to fight the minimum wage battle again next year. Instead of electing politicians who see every issue as an opportunity to extend government’s reach into our lives, we’d all be better off trusting in ourselves, our neighbors, our fellow citizens - job creators and job seekers - all playing our small parts in a vast and complex economy. That was at the heart of the NH Advantage, and could be again. Ken Gorrell lives in Northfield, NH

“Little Shop of Horrors” At The Barnstormers Theatre TAMWORTH - The 2014 season finale “Little Shop of Horrors” fills The Barnstormers Theatre’s stage August 26-30. This zany musical comedy is where 60s horror film meets Motown as Seymour, a nerdy florist, happens upon an unusual looking plant. Soon “unusual” turns into spectacular as the plant, which requires blood to survive (remember the show is part horror), becomes a vegetation sensation, raining fame, love and evil forces upon innocent Seymour. The show was written in the 80s by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who also created songs for Disney’s “Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin.” When it opened in New York, it ran for five consecutive years and earned numerous awards including New York Drama Critics Circle Award for best musical. “This show is campy noir and outrageous fun,” said Artistic Direc-

Why do birds migrate? Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be simpler and safer for wild birds to stay in the same regions they nest in rather than risk flying thousands of miles twice each year? In truth, if birds did not migrate their lives would be even more difficult to survive than making their vast journeys. If no birds migrated, natural food sources in their breeding areas would be depleted very quickly and many baby chicks would starve. Competition for nesting sites would, ultimately, be extremely fierce and the population of predators would increase due to the higher concentration of breeding birds and the easy meals of the nestlings. The main reason some birds migrate is for food and nesting purposes. Each spring, natural food sources are replenished as migrating, nesting birds arrive. As the food supplies dwindle in the fall, migrating birds leave to other replenished food sources in the tropics. This cycle has served wild birds well for centuries. This blueprint of migrat-

Known as irruptions, these unique paths of movement are also due to a lack of natural food sources. Irruptions become larger when food sources in northern regions are inadequate, forcing wild birds to search for food further south than their normal territories.

the power pack can become useless if left in the rain overnight or dropped a few times. To answer your question about the power claims, I can tell you that the tools I tested will satisfy those claims. Believe it or not, it’s possible to have a cordless tool last all day on just one or two batteries. It’s all a function of how much work the average person does with a tool in a given day. If you plan to have the tool on for eight hours straight, the batteries will not last. Most contractors don’t work this way. They use their power tools for short bursts of time. For example, an electrician may use his drill to
bore holes in 20 or 30 wall studs and then set the tool down while he runs cable through the holes. I discovered a few magic ingredients that are making the new cordless power tools faster and more powerful than corded tools. Not only are lithium-ion batteries better than ever, but the motors inside the best tools have better parts and are better engineered. The real secret sauce is a third ingredient you probably never thought might be in a cordless tool: microelectronics. For example, in the best tools there are tiny computers that allow the tool to communicate to the batteries and vice versa. If the computers sense you need more power to cut a thick board or drill through dense lumber, they allow more power to pass from the battery to the motor. If the tool senses it’s not under much load, the computers become stingy with the power and only allow enough into the motor to satisfy the demand. This preservation of the power allows the cordless tool to run for hours and hours. One of the questions I’d ask about when you’re looking at cordless tools is what happens if rain gets onto or inside the lithiumion battery. I saw a battery pack that was ruined in less than 24 hours because water had filled the pack. This water caused significant corrosion within

hours that rendered the battery useless. The battery packs I saw from the tool company that sponsored the event had ingenious drainage channels and holes that allowed any water to exit the battery. The micro-electronic components were also coated with a water repellent so they would not short out if water got on them. This kind of engineering helps preserve your investment as you migrate to cordless tools. I did hands-on testing of quite a few new cordless tools and can tell you that if I had been blindfolded, I would have sworn I was using a traditional corded tool that ran on standard 120volt current. In my opinion, the days of corded power tools are numbered. I feel it’s safe for you to buy cordless tools as long as you do your homework. My cardinal rule when buying any tool or building product is to use price as a barometer. The best tools and products almost always cost more because they contain better parts, better technology and better engineering. Need an answer?

jobs. I expect a similar phenomenon to occur here once things get bad enough. The only question is now much longer will we have to wait. ******** Leonard Cannon responds to me in NH Union Leader comments section: Good Grief, Niel! You sound like you are on the edge of the cliff. I’m not and neither is the Republican party. This election in November is going to be a title wave that will sweep many Democrats out of office. It’s about winning, Niel. If you really want change, work to put up candidates who can win. Sarah Palin’s endorsement is a little like Dan Quayle’s. I like both of those people but having their endorsements isn’t going to win you a lot of elections, if any! Libertarians and Free Staters have a lot of issues with which many people agree. But you have to find a way to win the elections. Whining about the “national establishment” does not help the cause. Do you think for one moment that Rand Paul would be
a Senator right now if he stubbornly remained a Libertarian on the ballot? Not a chance! But he’s there now and the “establishment” including Democrats, have to deal with him. Why do you think his father, Ron Paul gave up his Libertarian registration and went on to get reelected countless times as a Republican? Don’t like the “establishment just happy to be here Republicans?” Beat them in the primaries! Problem solved ... if and only if ... they win the election. And while you are at it, you might want to steer clear of people like Palin, Quayle, Akin, O’Donnell and A n g l e ! They are toxic and the Democrats just love opponents like them. What a surprise, Huh? ********
I admire Len in one way. He has proven what many have known for years; it is about “winning the seat”. Not about representing your constituents and keeping campaign promises. Len has made it clear that it is “us against them”.

army. Before long large swaths of the north, including the city of Mosul and the minority Christian areas of Nineveh province were under fundamentalist control. For two months, after seeing hundreds of thousands of refugees, mass executions, and facing a direct threat to the Kurdish regions, America finally acted with airstrikes on the terrorists. Too little, too late. Yet the wider picture shows religious persecution and massacre of Christian and Yazidi minorities in Middle East, and this is 2014? So a century after Sarajevo, the world looks perilously poised for another stunning event. Fortunately, the formal state powers have little appetite for conflict, but this then allows the gaggle of terrorist movements more regional leeway. The Obama Administration’s reluctant aloofness to overseas engagement creates a vacuum of stabilizing American leadership, which in turn has fueled growing global chaos. John J.

Participants are asked to fundraise in advance, rather than pay a registration fee to benefit the animals of the shelter. When the ride returns to the shelter, riders will be treated to a BBQ and music! www. monadnockhumanesociety.org 3529011

that he saw something move in the murky depths. He passed me easily as we fled the place, then, thinking that I had heard something back there, I passed him. Thinking that my speed indicated that something was in back of me, he passed me again. With the wisdom of past experiences, the church was not scheduling any more church picnics, and following Wildcat Troop No. 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last campout, Mrs. Cadbury, mother of our dauntless leader, asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do you associate with those savages, Preston?â&#x20AC;? It was true; we were bored. Even Scratch sat around in the sun, scratching idly at fleas with a jerky hind leg. We, who hardly ever peeked into a book, were ready for school again. The day when school got under way again was like a reunion of old friends. Most of us had seen one another nearly every day during vacation, but getting together again in a group was different and we slapped shoulders, and shoved and goosed in a frenzy of friendship. We spotted Miss Springer peeking out of the window at us and shuddering as if wondering why she had selected teaching as a career instead of becoming a wild animal trainer or a race car driver, and we waited for the moment when she would ring the opening of school. Her brass hand bell, brightly polished, stood on her desk. She glanced at the clock, sighed desperately, and reached out for the handle. As she picked it up, she uncovered a toad squatting beneath it, eyeing her with bulging eyeballs. The creature made a tentative hop, Miss Springer made a positive leap to her chair where she clutched her skirts around her in a rare display of pink bloomers and hooted so loud that a pair of migrating whooping cranes turned back under the impression that one of their flock was off course. In a display of gallantry, Pete rushed to the front of the room and captured the frog, dropping it out of a convenient window. I start-
ed to ask him if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like the frog that we had caught the day before but thought better of it. Miss Springer collapsed into her chair and, after wheezing for a while and rummaging for some smelling salts in her handbag, finally managed to call the roll and pull us all together. Every little while an uncontrollable snort of hilarity would break the silence and Miss Springerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head would jerk up and her eyes glare at us. As she turned her back and began writing arithmetic problems on the blackboard, Snigger Folsom pulled a rubber balloon from his pocket and, ducking behind his geography, blew it up. Holding it by its stem, he waited until Miss Springer started to turn. As he released it, it shot around the room with a whoosh, zigzagging like a crazed bat. As it swished by Miss Springer, she ducked and screeched something that none of us was about to repeat at the supper table. While everyone was watching what was going on Ziggy Parch dipped Deborah Tupperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s braids in his inkwell. Tubber McIntosh inserted a straight pin in the toe of his shoe and gently stretched his leg under the desk until the point rested against Osgood Perkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ample bottom. A slight twitch was all that it took to propel Osgood into the aisle where he tried to explain his behavior and rub the seat of his trouble at the same time. Recess came none too quickly for Miss Springer. As she watched us gallop for the door she mopped her fevered brow and rolled her eyes heavenward in silent gratitude for the brief respite. Pete emerged from the utility shed dragging a length of rope and informed me, and everyone within hearing, that he was going to hang a swing from the maple tree at the edge of our playground. Several of us boosted him up to where he could hoist himself up on a limb and straddle it. As Pete busied himself, Dub Smith nudged me and pointed. Tansy Poole, who had a
crush on Pete, had plunked herself down on one end of the teeter board that sat in the shade of the tree, and was looking straight up at her heartthrob with adoring eyes. With a flourish, Pete tied the final knot and grabbed a branch for support as he stood up, waved his free arm and yelled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tah-raahhh!â&#x20AC;? We all stared as we heard the support branch break, saw Pete lose his balance and plummet toward the ground. With a loud grunt, he landed feet first on the raised end of the seesaw, launching a startled Tansy from the other end like a skyrocket. Miss Springer, about to ring the bell for the end of recess, saw Tansy soaring into the air, screeching like a stuck steam whistle. She saw Tansy come back down with a thump and a whoosh of breath, but nothing serious enough to prevent her from jumping on a wheezing Pete and pummeling him in an unladylike fashion until we dragged her off. Order was finally restored, although Miss Springer was nearly hysterical by that time, and we all trooped back into the classroom. School was under way once again.

an insipid “Coexist” bumper sticker across the page -asserting that Muhammad Brown’s seething, deadly hatred did “not reflect the values of Muslims.” But the fact is Ali Muhammad Brown has plenty of company. Seattle alone has been a long-festering hotbed of anti-American, anti-Semitic jihadism.

is vengeance. For the lives, millions of lives are lost every day.” Echoing jihadist Fort Hood mass killer Nidal Hasan, Muhammad Brown cited Muslim deaths in “Iraq, Syria, (and) Afghanistan” as the catalysts for his one-man Islamic terror campaign. “All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life.” When a detective asked him to clarify whether all four murders were “done for vengeance for the actions of the United States in the Middle East,” Muhammad Brown stated unequivocally: “Yes.” He added that he was “just doing (his) small part.” Seattle’s left-wing mayor, Ed Murray, rushed to issue a statement -- which might as well have sported

“fully-automatic weapons pistols, and fragmentation grenades.” In 2007, Seattle jihadist James Ujaama pleaded guilty to terrorism charges related to his plan to establish a terror-training ground in Bly, Oregon. He had previously pleaded guilty to aiding the Taliban. In 2006, Everett, Washington Islamic revengeseeker Naveed Haq shot six innocent women and killed one at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building while spewing anti-Israel hatred and Muslim diatribes. In 2002, James Ujaama’s mosque leader, Abdul Raheem Al Arshad Ali of the radical Dar-us-Salaam mosque in Seattle’s Central District, was first arrested on illegal weapons charges.

He had provided arms to fellow Seattle-area Muslim cleric, Semi Osman. The ethnic Lebanese born in Sierra Leone had served in a naval reserve fueling unit based in Tacoma, Washington. Osman had access to fuel trucks similar to the type used by al-Qaida in the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers, which killed 19 U.S. airmen and wounded nearly 400 other Americans. Osman later pleaded guilty to illegal weapons possession. Another militant Seattle jihadist, Muslim convert Ruben Shumpert (aka Amir Abdul Muhaimin) was arrested after an FBI raid in 2004 for his role in a terror-financing scheme. He skipped out on his sentencing hearing and turned up in Somalia, where he

was killed fighting the U.S. military. Terror group al Shabaab hailed Muhaimin as a martyr. Which brings us back to Ali Muhammad Brown, who had been arrested 10 years ago as part of Muhaimin’s suspected terror-financing ring. A decade later, despite being on the feds’ radar screen, four innocent men are dead at Muhammad Brown’s hand. These homegrown Muslim haters don’t want to coexist. They want to kill and help fund and train other Islamic killers. They are living and working among us, embedded in local mosques and inside our military. Where are our political leaders? Making Kumbaya excuses, sitting on the sidelines and golfing while homegrown and global jihad burn.
