Interlakes Summer Theatre Presents “Sing Happy”
The new offices of CruCon Cruise Outlet World Headquarters on Route 25 in Moultonborough, opened in May of this year. The business, started by Sandy Cleary, an Aerospace Engineer, began in her mother’s basement in 1995 and has continually grown over the years. Recently, CruCon has purchased the former Meredith Village Savings Bank building courtesy Photo next door for further expansion.
The Journey For This Travel Business Has Been A Remarkable One by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
On Route 25 in Moultonborough, a stunning new building opened this past May that houses the office of CruCon Cruise Outlet World Headquarters, a 30,000 square foot facility offering the latest in amenities for its employees who staff this award-winning travel agency which offers
cruise packages on all the major cruise lines, was voted TravelZoo’s top cruise provider for five years running and was awarded Celebrity Cruises’ Chairman’s Award – the cruise line’s highest honor. Sure, some of you already knew that, but did you know it all really started with a Pop Tart and a toaster? CruCon’s founder,
Sandy Cleary, began her career in another form of travel, the aerospace industry, in fact, she is an aerospace engineer. Growing up in East Boston, she moved to California to pursue that career. In 1993, her brother passed away suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 43. In early 1995, her father also passed. Sandy felt the need to move back
to East Boston to take care of her mom who suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis. “This was a life changing event for me,” said Cleary. She went back to Boston still working for the Aerospace Company with their thinking that she would eventually return to California. Over time, things weren’t progressSee crucon on 14

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Gonna Need A Bigger Box
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
This weekend I have to go down to the local hardware store and buy a new mailbox. There isn’t anything at all wrong with the mailbox I have now, it works just fine. It’s just that I will not get fooled again this year like I have in previous years so I am going to buy a bigger mailbox. With a bigger mailbox I will sleep better at night and not be worried all day at work thinking that when I arrive home my mail might be squished, torn, flattened and bent as it will now, for the next seven weeks, be competing with those large cardboard type political postcards that must, by law, be stuffed into my mailbox to do battle with bills, magazines and surprise greetings from family and friends I haven’t seen in years. I should have bought a new mailbox years ago when these oversized, obnoxious, immediately in the garbage can, postcards first started showing up to welcome in another campaign season. Of course, like so many other things in life, that season ends and you quickly forget about the two months of utter ridiculousness you just endured. You don’t give it a second thought until the season rolls around again. It’s like that drafty window that you swore you’d replace once the weather got warmer and
then suddenly remembered that promise to yourself on that first cold, snowy night of winter when it was now too late. This year I will be prepared. The tiny mailbox I have attached to the side of the entrance to my house has been there for years, since before I ever lived there. It is quaint, even “cute� as my wife likes to refer it. It works fine. It’s just big enough to take in letters and folded magazines with little problem and just small enough that the postman won’t try to stuff an oversized package in there. But every other year about this time it changes. The primary season this year has caused me to take the journey for the new mailbox. It snuck up on me at first as the mailings were light. It was when I first arrived home one July evening and saw the face of Jim Rubens sticking out of my mailbox, fighting for space along with a giant postcard of Scott Brown and one of a pursed lipped and rather angry looking Jeanne Shaheen. Soon there would be Maggie Hassans and Walt Havensteins as well fighting for space in my little mailbox. Still, all in all, the primary season wasn’t that bad. But it made me think. The general election season was now right around the corner and if I wanted to do the right thing, to protect those other, important pieces of mail that would be jockeying for position and survival with the life-sized head shots of the political candidates the postcards carried to either glorify or slander, then I would need to act soon.
I know some of my neighbors had already acted early, putting up larger mailboxes a few months or even years ago. Sometimes I peek from behind the drawn shades of my living room window and spy with envy as I see them pull out the numerous political mailers as well as their unscathed personal mail. I really do have to act on this now. I have been lucky in the past, but luck is never guaranteed, while election season is a sure thing. But as I write this a horrible thought has occurred. What if there are no decent sized mailboxes to be had? What, if like salt, snow shovels and roof rakes before an upcoming blizzard, the panic had set in with the rest of my neighbors with tiny mailboxes who were also preparing themselves for the coming storm? What if the hardware stores have already been emptied? This is, after all, a nationwide storm that is about to form, not just focused on New Hampshire. All across the land people are anticipating with dread what the daily mail will bring from now until November. I have to finish now. I need to get to the hardware store as soon as possible. I will let you know how thing go. And, if you haven’t gotten your new, bigger mailbox yet for this upcoming campaign season, I wish you the best and my prayers are with you. Godspeed!

Brown vs Shaheen
To the Editor: Granite Staters are in a unique position in No t TISMBXPĂłDF!HNBJM DPN vember to change what goes on (or doesn’t go on) in Washington. By defeating Jeanne Shaheen and electing Scott Brown, NH voters can give the Republicans the numbers that they need to take control of the Senate and effect positive change in Washington. Jeanne Shaheen’s poll numbers have taken a recent and abrupt nose dive. It appears that Senator on the Plains Shaheen is rapidly falling out of favor with her constituents. Here’s why: ď€ The Shaheen campaign website indicates her top ď€ priorities as “New Hampď€ shire Firstâ€? - yet she voted ď€ ď€‚ď€ƒď€„ď€…ď€†ď€‡ď€ˆď€‰ď€Šď€‡ď€‹ď€ƒď€‰ď€ ď€„ď€Œď€?ď€?ď€?ď€Œď€?ď€?ď€…ď€†ď€•ď€ with Obama and Harry Reid over 99% of the time; ď€‚ď€ƒď€„ď€…ď€ ď€†ď€…ď€‡ď€…ď€ˆď€‰ď€Šď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€?ď€?ď€?ď€?ď€Šď€‹ď€ ď€“ď€ƒď€‰ď€”ď€?ď€Žď€•ď€–ď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€—ď€˜ď€‘ď€‰ď€™ď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€‚ď€‘ď€šď€‰ď€ƒď€˜ď€‹ď€ â€œVeteransâ€? - yet the V.A. ď€?ď€‰ď€Šď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€ƒď€ˆď€ˆď€Žď€‡ď€ ď€œď€•ď€ƒď€ˆď€?ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€?ď€ˆď€‘ď€–ď€–ď€‡ď€‘ď€‰ď€…ď€‹ď€ ď€žď€Žď€•ď€„ď€?ď€‰ď€Šď€ ď€&#x;ď€Žď€Žď€”ď€˜ď€‰ď€‘ď€ ď€?ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€ ď€ ď€ ď€ ď€ hospital system is badly ď€‚ď€Žď€ˆď€›ď€ ď€Ąď€‰ď€?ď€‹ď€ ď€Ąď€˜ď€˜ď€…ď€–ď€–ď€Žď€‰ď€ƒď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€‘ď€’ď€…ď€‰ď€‹ď€ ď€˘ď€Žď€ˆď€ƒď€”ď€‘ď€Šď€ ď€Œď€ˆď€•ď€–ď€?ď€‹ď€ ď€—ď€Žď€‘ď€’ď€‹ď€ ď€Łď€…ď€?ď€‘ď€ˆď€‹ď€ broken and a national disď€?ď€Žď€„ď€…ď€‡ď€‘ď€‰ď€…ď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€…ď€?ď€ ď€?ď€ƒď€ ď€?ď€–ď€ ď€‘ď€„ď€”ď€ ď€¤ď€‰ď€…ď€‘ď€?ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€&#x;ď€…ď€‘ď€‰ď€‘ď€šď€ˆď€…ď€ ď€Ąď€‰ď€?ď€‹ď€ ď€žď€‘ď€„ď€”ď€ˆď€…ď€–ď€ grace; “National Securityâ€? - yet she voted for amnesty ď€Ľď€Žď€ˆď€ˆď€ ď€žď€ˆď€Žď€?ď€?ď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€Žď€?ď€?ď€…ď€‰ď€Šď€‹ď€ ď€¤ď€Žď€ˆď€…ď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€‰ď€ƒď€Śď€ƒď€?ď€ƒď€™ď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€Œď€ƒď€„ď€…ď€ ď€žď€Žď€„ď€…ď€ ď€žď€‰ď€‘ď€ ď€?ď€‹ď€ and against securing our ď€Łď€‘ď€’ď€ˆď€…ď€‹ď€ ď€˘ď€Žď€„ď€…ď€Šď€‹ď€ ď€‚ď€•ď€”ď€?ď€…ď€‹ď€ ď€˘ď€…ď€‰ď€šď€‘ď€ˆď€ ď€Ľď€ƒď€’ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€—ď€‘ď€ˆď€–ď€‘ď€‹ď€ ď€žď€ƒď€”ď€…ď€‰ď€‹ď€ ď€ porous southwest border; ď€?ď€ ď€—ď€‘ď€•ď€˜ď€…ď€–ď€‹ď€ ď€˘ď€Žď€Śď€…ď€ ď€Łď€‘ď€”ď€…ď€ ď€žď€‘ď€„ď€”ď€ƒď€…ď€–ď€ ď€‘ď€„ď€”ď€ ď€Śď€Žď€‰ď€…ď€§ď€ â€œHealthcareâ€? - yet her deciding vote on ObamaCare has decimated the healthcare delivery system in the Granite State; and, “Fiscal Responsibilityâ€? - yet our national debt has doubled during her term as Senator.

Our Story
the IRS to target conservative opposition groups. The Shaheen campaign attempts to paint Scott Brown as carpetbagger and as an outsider when Scott was raised on Islington Street in Portsmouth. Oh, the Dems and their hypocrisy‌ Dems didn’t seem to object when Hillary Clinton moved to New York to run for the Senate. Scott Brown endured a rag-tag childhood, graduated cum laude from Tufts University, earned a law degree from Boston College, and retired with honors with the rank of Colonel after having served 35 years in the Army National Guard. Scott Brown is a do-er, an independent, a fiscal conservative, and one that believes that our national security, our fiscal policy, and the Nation’s foreign policy are all in a state of disarray. Restore the U.S. to all of its glory. Vote Scott Brown in November. Bob Witkop Dover, NH.
Letter of Thanks to Supporters To The Editor: I want to express my heartfelt thanks to you all for your dedication and support and for contributing your time and effort in our campaign. I was deeply moved by your expression of confidence and I am honored and humbled that you had trust in me and stood by me. While the outcome of
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
Tuesday’s primary was not what we hoped for, I still believe in the validity of the vote. I congratulate Scott Brown on his win. The kind notes that have come my way remind me that no other candidate can ask for a better group of supporters than we’ve had in this campaign. Especially in my core group of staff members, the level of dedication, hard work and sacrifice – the amount of sheer heart you’ve shown – speaks volumes. I’d like to give special thanks to Jack, Pat, Karen, Kevin, Sharon, Jim, Michael, Chuck and Di, Nancy, and Cindy and all the others who have helped along the way. Thank you for your patriotism and support. One of the great consolations in any race is the passionate support you get from so many people you meet throughout the state and who share your values. Our beautiful state now faces many challenges and I urge you all to continue to fight for the principles that we hold so dear, including ProLife issues, Pro Second Amendment, Support of our Veterans, keeping our Constitutional Conservative values and our Rights to Liberty and Freedom. Your participation is vital to our system. Thank you for standing by me and believing it was time for a change. My family is most grateful for all that you have done for us. God Bless you and keep up the fight! Senator Bob Smith

The Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro has recently closed out their very successful D-Day exhibit and is now presenting another important story from World War II. Starting on September 14th, the Wright Museum introduced a special exhibit on Anne Frank focusing on another important aspect of why the war was fought. “This is not going to be just about concentration camps,” said Wright Museum Executive Director Culver. “It will also be about how a teenager re-
lated to the horrors of the war and somehow found strength. This is going to be a great exhibit to bring your kids too as well. It will help them understand more what it was all about.” This exhibit will run until October 25th. Matching Gift Campaign The Wright Museum of World War II has received an anonymous $50,000 grant.

The Jihadists’ Eternal Plan
Obama’s Foreign Policy Collapse
by Rich Lowry Syndicated Columnist
President B a r a c k Obama’s stated goal in the fight against the Islamic State, aka ISIS, is to reduce it to a “manageable prob-
lem.” What this means, he hasn’t spelled out in great specificity. Presumably fewer beheadings. A slower pace of Western recruiting. Fewer genocidal threats against embattled minorities. A downgrading of the caliphate to a mini-state, or merely a large swath of territory in Syria and Iraq. The evil of ISIS has stirred nearly everyone around President Obama to ringing statements of resolve. Vice President Joe Biden says, “We will follow them to the gates of hell.” The president himself? He says it
will be “degraded to the point where it is no longer the kind of factor that we’ve seen it being over the last several months.” Put to the rhythms of Winston Churchill’s famous call to arms in Parliament in June 1940, the Obama posture is, “We shall degrade you, we shall lessen you as a factor, we shall make you manageable, we shall hope that the attention of this great continental nation ... turns to something else soon.” What we have been witnessing the past few weeks is the intellectual collapse of Obama’s foreign policy, accompanied by its rapid political unraveling. When Al Franken is ripping you for lacking a strategy against ISIS in Syria, you have a problem. The hoary hawkish cliches about the stakes in Iraq -- repeated over and over again by Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham through the years -- have proved correct. In 2007, McCain argued that if we failed See lowry on 31
Here’s the first and last rule of Islamic jihad: If at first you don’t succeed, plot, plot again. 9/11 wasn’t the first. 9/11 won’t be the by Michelle Malkin last. It’s not Syndicated Columnist “fear-mongering” to face reality. These head-chopping, throatslitting, bloodthirsty hijackers -- of planes, freedom and civilization -- have conspired for decades to inflict modern mass murder on the West. Their homicidal mission is spectacular destruction in the name of the Koran. Never forget: Eternal Muslim hatred of infidels didn’t start with George W. Bush. Or George Herbert Walker Bush. Or Ronald Reagan. Or the creation of Gitmo. Or the birth of Israel. Or the Twin Towers. Or the Khobar Towers. Or Lockerbie. Or the U.S.S. Cole. Or Fort Hood. Or the Beirut Marine barracks bombings. Or the bombings of the U.S. embassy in Africa, the bombing of U.S. military headquarters in Riyadh and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. Allah’s animals can’t stop. They won’t stop. Sura 9:5, the verse of the sword, commands them to “slay the idolators wherever you find them, and take them, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.” No “pagan” throat is safe: American soldiers, worldly journalists, innocent schoolgirls, Jewish teenage boys and Christian missionaries alike are all targets of Sura 47’s call to “smite the necks” of the unbelievers. Now our impuissant president sees fit, after two laggard terms in office, to unveil a “plan” for “degrading and ultimately destroying” the Muslim terrorists of ISIS.
Pffft. To call the Obama administration’s trifling gestures a “bump in the road” to Islamic domination would be an overstatement of astronomic proportions. The bloodless words of the White House are rhetorical pebbles. While Barack Obama singles out ISIS jihad gangsters for a $5 billion kabuki counterterrorism campaign, he continues to subsidize Hamas terrorists. He has freed countless al-Qaida recidivists from the very Gitmo detention facility he vowed to shut down to appease international jihad enablers of the Kumbaya/ Coexist coalition. Obama’s jihad enablers have rolled out the red carpet at the White House for Islamist funders and frontmen, including: -Esam Omeish, former head of the Muslim Brotherhood-sponsored Muslim American Society and patron of jihad cleric Anwar Awlaki, whom he helped install at Virginia’s notorious Dar al-Hijrah mosque. (That’s the same mosque where two 9/11 hijackers, terrorist financier Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi and Fort Hood Muslim mass murderer Nidal Hasan all worshiped.) -- Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, a top lieutenant of Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Qaradawi, who urges followers to kill every last Jew, sanctioned suicide bombings and the killing of our soldiers, and declared that the “U.S. is an enemy of Islam that has already declared war on Islam under the disguise of war on terrorism and provides Israel with unlimited support.” --Hisham al-Talib, another Qaradawi cheerleader welcomed at the White House by Obama’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Al-Talib is an Iraqiborn Muslim identified by the FBI

September 11th Shadows Haunt Obama in ISIS Struggle UNITED NATIONS —Speak-
ing in the somber shadow of the September 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America in by John J. Metzler 2001, PresiSyndicated Columnist dent Barack Obama sought to stake out an ambitious military and political strategy to degrade and defeat the new surge of Middle Eastern terrorism now sweeping Iraq and Syria. Yet in a major policy address to outline specific measures to militarily destroy the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) as much as to reassure war weary Americans that there is actually a strategy coming from his Administration, Obama vowed to “degrade and ultimately destroy,” and conceded that “eradicating a cancer” such as ISIS was a longterm challenge. In the United Nations Security Council on 25 September he will hone the details. Global terrorism is a hydraheaded monster; as in the ancient Greek myth cutting one head of the multi-headed sea serpent only produces another. So even after U.S. Navy Seals tracked down and killed terrorist kingpin Osama Bin Laden, hiding under the noses of our Pakistani allies, other militant groups popped up. The Al-Qaida network has global links and is strongest in the Middle East and Africa. Despite Obama’s almost cavalier
pronouncements that we have substantially degraded the Al Qaida terrorists, that’s sadly not the case. Regarding ISIL’s growing threat earlier in the year, Obama described the terrorist organization as “junior varsity” in other words not a serious player. Months later the mysterious militant group launched a multipronged military offensive and seized large chunks of northern Iraq. Two months after seeing the swath of terror ISIS wracked across Iraq’s Christian, Kurdish and Yazidi communities, the Administration launched limited American airstrikes on the militants. In late August, both Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned that ISIS presented a clear and present danger to the U.S. “This is an organization that has an apocalyptic end of days strategic vision that will eventually have to be defeated,” stated Gen. Dempsey. Secretary of State John Kerry correctly called ISIS “a manifestation of evil.” But when questioned about his Administration having a bigger strategy or plan in dealing with this growing threat to Mid Eastern stability, Obama conceded “he had no strategy.” Now in face of jarring reality the template has changed yet again. The brutal beheading of two American journalists by ISIS killers prompted action. The President outlined a plan to first use targeted U.S. airstrikes both in Iraq and neighboring Syria to hit the ISIS terrorist formations;
good idea but this should have been done in June when massed columns of ISIS militants were out in the open and not entrenched as they are now. Furthermore the plan stretches the Air Force, not so much the aircraft, but costly specialized precision munitions.
Second, he pledged not to send American troops into a combat role to Iraq, (though he is dispatching 475 additional advisors rampingup our Iraqi contingent to 1,600). The focus of the speech should have been what is the President

Mob Rule Economics While we talk about democracy and equal rights, we seem increasingly to let both private and government decisions be determined by mob rule. by Thomas Sowell There is nothSyndicated Columnist ing democratic about mob rule. It means that some people’s votes are to be overruled by other people’s disruptions, harassments and threats. The latest examples are the mobs in the streets in cities across the country, demanding that employers pay a minimum wage of $15 an hour, or else that the government makes them do so by law. Some of the more gullible observers think the issue is whether what some people are making now is “a living wage.” This misconstrues the whole point of hiring someone to do work. Those who are being hired are paid for the value of the work they do. If their work is really worth more than what their employer is paying them, all they have to do is quit and go work for some other employer, who will pay them what their work is really worth. If they can’t find any other employer who will pay them more, then what makes them think their work is worth more? As for a “living wage,” the employer is not hiring people in order to acquire dependents and become their meal ticket. He is hiring them for what they produce. Are some people not able to produce much? Absolutely! I know because I was once one of those people. After leaving home as a teenager, I discovered that what I could
earn would only enable me to rent a furnished room about 6 by 9 feet. Instead of a closet, it had a nail on the back of the door -which was completely adequate for my wardrobe at the time. It became painfully clear that there was no great demand for a high school dropout with no skills and no experience. My choices were to get angry at my employer or to acquire some skills and experience -- and try to pick up some more education, while I was at it. Even to a teenage dropout, that choice was a no-brainer. There was no one around to confuse the issue by telling me that I was somehow “entitled” to what other people had produced, whether at the expense of the taxpayers or the employer. There was a minimum wage law, even back in those days. But it had been passed ten years earlier, and inflation had raised both prices and wages to the point where it was the same as if there were no minimum wage law. Thank heaven! The unemployment rate among black teenagers back then was a fraction of what it would become in later years, after “compassionate” politicians repeatedly raised the minimum wage rate to keep up with inflation. In 1948, the year I left home, the unemployment rate among black 16-year-olds and 17-yearolds was 9.4 percent, slightly lower than that for white kids the same ages, which was 10.2 percent. Over the decades since then, we have gotten used to unemployment rates among black teenagers being over 30 percent, 40 percent or in some years even 50 percent. Such is the price of political “compassion.” Whatever the good intentions See Sowell on 30

PENNANT RACES AND HAPPY TOWNS! The NFL prides itself on “parity� and the notion that on “any given Sunday� any team can beat any other team. And all NFL teams are just a “year away� from the Super Bowl. Major League Baseball is different. Moneyed teams with strong local media deals flourish (see Yankees, Red Sox, etc.). The conventional wisdom has been that teams like the Orioles, Royals, Brewers and Nationals just can’t compete. But that thinking no longer applies. The Orioles, Royals, Brewers, and Nationals are poised for post-season action. The Yankees are crumbling. The Red Sox are in last place—where they finished two years ago. (Has a team ever finished last, won the World Series, and then finished last again?) With our BoSox going nowhere, it’s time to live vicariously through the joyful baseball communities in Baltimore, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Washington—also commonly referred to as “longsuffering� sports towns. We in New England— despite some unfortunate recent developments—are no strangers to celebrating after the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, or Bruins win it all. But in other places, the victory champagne seldom flows. Washington, for example, has not been home to a World Series champion since 1925. The champagne must taste so much
Vintage Boats Lake Memorabilia Hands-on Kids’ Activities Mike Moffett has decided to live vicariously through the Washington Nationals this baseball playoff season. better when you have to wait decades to sip it. Consider the celebration throughout Indiana when the Colts won the Super Bowl. The whole state was caught up in paroxysms of euphoria. Joyful strangers hugged in bars. People danced in the streets. The crime rate went down. It was a sociological and cultural phenomenon. So who should we New Englanders adopt as a “step-team� for the approaching baseball postseason? I’m leaning towards the Nationals. The Nats, of course, used to be “Les Expos� when they played in Montreal. It became a “star-crossed� franchise, never advancing in the playoffs, although the team had the best record in baseball in the strikeshortened 1994 season. I remember going to Jarry Park in 1973 to see the Expos beat the Pirates, led by the likes of Coco Laboy and Felipe Alou. Jarry held around 30,000 spectators and was an even more intimate venue than Fenway Park. So “Go Nats, Go!� Win it for Mack Jones, Rusty Staub, and Bill Stoneman and for all the Expos of days gone by. Don’t win it for all the Washington politicians whom you can be sure will end up with choice seats for the playoffs.
But regardless of who ultimately wins the 2014 World Series, it’s great to know that MLB now has parity, much like the NFL. Now any baseball team can go from last to first. Every team is “just a year away.� Except, of course, the Cubs.

“A Model Long-ago Rejected By The Framers� Every two years there is such a wonderful happening. First is the NH Primary in Sepby Niel Young Advocates Columnist tember following personal attacks, lies, character assassination and if you really push the candidates from both parties you might actually get to ask a question relative to an issue i m p o r t ant to some of us. Listen closely here comes some insignificant answer, probably not to your original question from both political parties. I have a friend in Pennsylvania who urges me to join him in voting Libertarian. My question to him is how many of your candidates have been elected. Then we move on to the November General Election where we choose from what the Liberal Wing Democrats and the Establishment Republicans have given us for choices. Was it the Bill Clinton “politics of personal destruction� that opened the door to never mind talking issues, let’s find some dirt on the opponent, and if we cannot, just make it up! Forty years ago those pols who engaged in homosexual acts would be advised to leave office. Today, both political parties are morally bankrupt. Is it for the money or the power? Democrat Maggie Hassan is a big defender and promoter of a woman’s reproductive rights. Republican Walt Havenstein remains silent. Following the election of 2008 I was a member of the group of Americans who said we hope
Obama fails. Thanks to the Washington Post and two of the folks they interviewed I present the quotes from two female Obama bigtime supporters who voted for him TWICE. Kimberly Cole, 36 and single with two children in Valencia, California: “He’s been faced with a lot of challenges and he has lost his way.� Washington Post: She worries that Obama lacks the resolve needed at a time when things at home and abroad are looking scarier. Karlene Richardson, 44, once counted herself a ‘very strong supporter’ of the president, now she feels much the same as Cole does. “Honestly, I just feel that what I bought into is not what I’m getting, I’m starting to wonder whether the world takes us seriously.� Richardson is an author and motivational speaker who teaches health-care administration at a community college in Queens. ******** I am a firm believer that conservative women are the ones with the backbone in politics. Scottie Nell Hughes has been a radio guest twice. She is scheduled for this Saturday morning during my radio show. Are you sick and tired of watching your city, state and country spiral out of control and into the hands of liberals, whether Democrats or “Republicans in Name Only?� If so, you will be inspired to make a difference as you read the passionate battle cry of Scottie Nell Hughes. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the progressive media and the liberal political leadership, today’s American political
and social language has completely changed. Our God-given, constitutionally-protected rights are being threatened on multiple fronts. Our children are being taught ideas we would never want them exposed to. It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to ROAR! ******** THIS JUST IN. Gee, these words mean so much to America-loving citizens. Jonathan Turley, George Washington University law professor: “Our system is changing and [Congress] is the one branch that must act if we are to reverse those changes. We are seeing the emergence of a different model of government, a model long-ago rejected by the framers. ... A dominant presidency has occurred with very little congressional opposition. Indeed, when President Obama pledged to circumvent Congress, he received rapturous applause from the very body that he was proposing to make practically irrelevant. Now many members are contesting the right of this institution to even be heard in federal court. ... This body is moving from self-loathing to self-destruction in a system that is in crisis. The president’s pledge to effectively govern alone is alarming, and what is most alarming is his ability to fulfill that pledge. When a president can govern alone, he can become a government unto himself, which is precisely the danger the framers sought to avoid.� Would this be read in the Government Indoctrination Centers?

was in business. Working with her older sister, Pat, the company had a comfortable start. “One day while working on a sales call I went up to the kitchen to throw a Pop Tart in the toaster,” Cleary recalled. “I went back down to the office and it wasn’t much later
that I heard my mother screaming.” Running back upstairs, Cleary found her mom waving a tiny kitchen towel trying to put out the flames in the kitchen which was becoming engulfed. “I called the fire deSee crucon on 15

partment, grabbed the fire extinguisher and got it under control,� said Cleary. But the damage had been done. The kitchen was a mess and the entire house reeked of smoke. “The next morning, with the house reeking of smoke, my mom came down for breakfast, told me she loved me but thought it might be best if I moved my business elsewhere,� Cleary recalled. “I believe everything happens for a reason.� That reason was for Cleary to open up a real office in East Boston which eventually developed into eleven employ-
ees. Still things weren’t all copacetic. Royal Ahmadi, Director of Operations for CruCon, was one of those eleven employees. Originally from Connecticut, he told Cleary that he and his wife didn’t like the city much and wanted to move back Connecticut. “He was very valuable to the business and I couldn’t let him leave,� said Cleary. “I told him he should move to New Hampshire, it’s a lot like Connecticut.� Cleary was familiar with the Lakes Region area having vacationed on Paugus Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee when she See crucon on 16

was younger. “We both bought homes here. Royal would be in charge of a CruCon satellite office in New Hampshire and I would travel back and forth on weekends,� said Cleary. They rented the lower level of the Century 21 building on Route 25 in Moultonborough. It wasn’t long until there were fifteen employees now in this small space. “My intention at the time, mostly because of the commute, was that the main office would be in New Hampshire and the satellite office in East Boston,� said Cleary. As fate would have it, a new building was being built next door and the landlord suggested they look at moving into one of the offices that would be on the top floor.

complete building. “You never want space to limit you,� said Cleary about the fact that, even though they couldn’t fill one office in their new space she decided to buy even more space by taking the whole back building that was being constructed behind their new office. Meanwhile, a daytime shoot out in a robbery at the bank across the street
from the Boston office had Cleary thinking hard about the quality of life her employees there were dealing with. She decided to close that office and make New Hampshire the one and only facility. Despite much hesitation by the Boston employees to move, Cleary held a New Hampshire weekend where employees from both offices met each other. Eventually, all but one Boston employee moved to New Hampshire. CruCon continued to grow by leaps and bounds with well over fifty employees, Cleary’s vision of expansion not only fulfilled by growing beyond that. She now saw the need for even more space. “Our biggest issue was really parking,� said Cleary. “We needed about one-hundred and fifty spaces.� The talk of expansion sent a bit of panic through the ranks. There weren’t really any existing building nearby that would fit into their needs. At the time, the Meredith Village Savings Bank building across the street was for sale but negotiations for it didn’t quite work out. It was then they looked into the lots next to the See crucon on 17

called the “Zen Area�, a tropical type atmosphere with large leather chairs and sofas where the marketing people can work out their programs. Of course, this 30,000 square foot facility also has separate areas for each individualized area of service to its customers from general inquiries to full service care for returning and preferred customers. Still, with expansion always on her mind, Cleary recently purchased, finally, the 12,000 square foot Meredith Village Bank building where a new day care center for employees will soon be open as well as areas for their expan-

bank and found that the lot which is now the present location for CruCon had been sitting for years, the owner of the lot not even remembering he owned it since its taxes were paid for every year by his business. After meeting, Cleary apparently impressed the owner with her plans for expansion and he sold her the land for what he paid for it in 1985. “At first I was really only looking at this lot for parking but when things didn’t work out with the bank building I knew we would have to build,� said Cleary. Working with an architect, Cleary knew she wanted the building to have a look that fit in with the community, something that even looked like her house on a grander scale. She also wanted it to feel like home for her employees and be as green as possible. It was also built with all New Hampshire contractors. The three floors of CruCon hold more than just the office space for the now one-hundred and ten employees (with room for 250) but also a massive meeting room for all employees to gather at once, a gym with separate changing rooms for women and men and a cafeteria with a full kitchen where employees are treated to free breakfast, lunch and dinner during their shifts. There is also outdoor patio seating during breaks. There is a Relaxation Room where
employees can go during their breaks and mellow out. There is also what is
sion into land vacations. At this point you would expect an end to this story but with the vision and motivation of Sandy Cleary it is almost certain that there is much more to come. Maybe the best way to end the tale of this chap-
ter is to tell you the one thing that you will never see in the Crucon Cruise Outlet Word Headquarters in Moultonborough. A toaster. To find out more about Crucon Cruise Outlet visit www.crucon.com.

Robert Duffey Was Made Captain of the M/S Mount Washington on Sunday Sept 7th Duffey was joined by his family, friends, and the entire crew of the M/S Mount Washington while receiving is 4th stripe and being made Captain number sixth. “I couldn’t be more proud of my husband; he always gives 100 percent in anything he sets out to do. Having all his family and friends around to join him while excepting this honor made the day all more special� Sue Duffey wife of 30 years. Robert Duffey served on the Manchester Police department for 24 years and retired as Deputy Chief of Patrol before joining the crew of the M/S Mount Washington in 2009. When he joined the crew in 2009 he quickly ran up the ranks starting at Deck Officer to Skipper of the Doris 1E. & Sophie C. to Pilot of the M/S Mount Washington. After 5 years of proven excellence in every one of his endeavors, it is with great pride that Ownership and the Crew welcomes the newest Captain to the fleet. “I am humbled. I recognize that I am joining the ranks of what is a very short line of predecessor, and couldn’t be more honored to be made Captain of such an historical ship. Special thank you goes out to Ownership for their faith, trust, and guidance, as well as every member of the crew that in someway helped me to achieve the level at which I am at today.� Robert Duffey. “It is always a pleasure to promote people that show time and time again, that they are more then qualified to join the ranks of the Captains Club of the M/S Mount Washington.� Jim Morash Chief of Operation. The last person to be promoted to Captain was Robert Reed back in 2008 seen in photo 2nd from the left. In photo from left to rigth: Captain Morash, Captain Reed, Fleet Captain O’Connell, Captain Duffey, Captain Smith, Captain Cambell.

(BPT) - Between time spent commuting, working in the office and conquering an endless list of to-dos at home, a full day can go by without much, if any, time spent outdoors. In fact, Americans spend 90 percent or more of their time indoors according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Although it’s not always possible to increase the amount of time spent outside, it is possible to transform your interior environments allowing you to experience outdoor freshness even if you’re inside. Celebrity interior designer Thom Filicia knows the benefits of the outdoors and the importance of bringing it inside. Through his designs, he often finds ways to transform indoor spaces with touches of outdoor freshness, to create an inviting environment that stimulates all the senses. To achieve this, he offers five simple tips. Embrace Bright Colors
By painting your walls with a bright color, the essence and vibrancy of the outdoors can be translated inside. For those who aren’t risk takers, focusing on one accent wall or introducing bright colors through the use of throw pillows or blankets is an easy (and maybe less daunting) way to bring the outdoors indoors. Transform Fabrics With Scent Bring the outdoor freshness inside your home by washing your fabrics with new Bounce Bursts. Bounce Bursts is a bead of concentrated outdoor freshness perfume ingredients that, when added directly to the wash cycle, gives your laundry an extra boost of outdoor freshness and transforms your fabrics, allowing you to experience outdoor freshness even if you are inside! Additionally, certain fragrances like the floral See TIPS on 21

based perfumes which inspired Bounce Bursts’ Outdoor Fresh scent are known to stimulate the senses and improve mood and energy. Add Fresh Flowers To Your Space By placing fresh cut flowers in your favorite vase on your desk or indoor tables, you can enjoy the scent and beauty of the outdoors while indoors. And don’t stress, the flowers don’t need to coordinate with the color of your sofa or office furniture.
Mix Patterns And Layer Materials Don’t be afraid to be playful with your fabrics as adding in floral-inspired patterns and colors along with a mix of materials, from wood to metal or stone, will help you evoke the feeling of being outside while lounging and even working indoors. Remember to wash linens and other washable fabrics with Bounce Bursts for a boost of outdoor freshn of our 2013 trip and a personal ness.

Flashings Are Critical To Soundness Of Home
by Tim Carter
Syndicated Columnist
DEAR TIM: I’m looking at bids right now for a re-roof project and a new deck job at my home. The bid documents mention flashings. I have no clue what they are and whether or not they’re important. If they are important, what should I know to ensure they’re installed correctly? --Ally T., Philadelphia
DEAR ALLY: Flashings are critical to many aspects of building a home, and they’re not limited to roofs and decks. Windows, doors, skylights, chimneys and all sorts of other building elements can have flashings attached to them. Think of a flashing as a roof shingle or a piece of wood siding for just a moment. Imagine a simple roof on a dog house. A rain drop at the top of the roof rolls across shingle after shingle until it gets to the bottom of the roof. It then falls to the ground. The same is true for siding on a home. Imagine a wall that has no windows or doors in it. All it has is one lapped piece of siding
on top of another. When water starts at the top of the wall, it just runs across each piece of siding until it gets to the last piece and then falls to the ground. But what happens when something interrupts the shingles, siding, brick, stone or any other exterior finish that’s meant to keep water from inside your home? At such a location you need a flashing to make sure the water continues on its journey to the ground and doesn’t take a detour inside your house. A flashing is a waterproof material that diverts or redirects water to a point lower on the outer face of a building. Think of a

man. It didn’t take long to see how the seams were formed and how the flashings were constructed to guide the water so it continued its journey to the ground. One thing I noticed right away is that flashings always had a slope built in so water never ponded on them. Gravity always pulled water down or off the flashing to the building material just below the flashings. Flashing materials almost always need to be cut and bent. Any seam in a flashing must be made waterproof. When you use galvanized metal, tin-coated steel, copper or lead, you can solder these seams to create a waterproof seal. Rubber membranes come with special solvents that allow you to weld two pieces of rubber together. Never, ever rely on caulk as a permanent sealant for a flashing. It’s not uncommon for flashings to last 50 or more years. I’ve never seen a caulk that can last for that long, but solder does. Beware of using aluminum as a flashing material in contact with masonry. The chemicals in the mortar can corrode the aluminum, causing leaks.

flashing as a transitional building material. It connects something that is waterproof to something that’s not. I realize this is confusing, so I’ll give you some examples. You’ll often discover a metal flashing surrounding a skylight in a roof. The flashing is often made of pieces of bent metal that lay under and over shingles, going up the sides of the skylight and connecting to the top of the skylight in such a way that driving rain can’t leak into your home. You’ll discover flashing where a roof butts up against a wall of a house or where a chimney is popping up through a roof or next to a roof. The flashing can be made from galvanized steel, tin-coated steel, lead, copper or even a rubber membrane. Flashings are mission critical in brick or stoneveneer construction. Water readily leaks through brick and stone veneer and must be captured by flashings you can’t see behind the brick or stone. This water is then redirected to the exterior of the building via weep holes. Great builders install flashings on top of windows and doors. The water streaming down a wall would love to get behind the window or door. The flashing on top prevents this from happening and sends the water streaming across the front of the window or door so it can get to the ground. Installing flashings is an art and craft. I’ve seen countless poor installations in my time. When I was a young carpenter and builder, I had the good fortune to work on many an old home built in the early 1900s. I studied and copied the flashings I would see on chimneys, dormers and old-fashioned box gutters. Many were built and fabricated by true crafts-

Prevent Your Heating Bills From Going Through the Roof
Heating your home can be a costly endeavor. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make your family suffer in shivering silence to save some money. There are plenty of steps you can take to optimize your heating efforts, as well as prep your home for several months of cool weather. â&#x20AC;˘ Check and maintain your insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawl spaces drain away heat and can encourage mold and mildew. â&#x20AC;˘ Add weather stripping and caulk around windows and doors to prevent drafts which waste energy and money. â&#x20AC;˘ Install a programmable thermostat that shuts itself off during the day when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away and at night when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asleep. This will keep you comfortable when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re home and save you money when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep vents and returns free of obstructions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them or obstruct the flow of air. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep your air filters clean. Check them every couple of weeks and change them as directed by the manufacturer. â&#x20AC;˘ Let the sun shine in by opening curtains on cold days. Get heavy drapes to keep things cozy at night. â&#x20AC;˘ Review last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy bills. If your heating costs are drastically higher this year, a qualified HVAC/R technician may be able to diagnose the problem. Schedule such inspections twice annually, even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experiencing any detectable issues. â&#x20AC;˘ When choosing a contractor for installation or maintenance, important factors must be taken into consideration. A qualified HVAC/R technician is a skilled professional with proven knowledge who has passed specialized tests. So look for a technician certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest independent non-profit certification body for HVAC/R technicians. â&#x20AC;˘ Even the most ecofriendly, high-efficiency products and appliances
can waste money and energy if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not installed, serviced, and maintained properly. Work with certified technicians to ensure your HVAC/R equipment is delivering on its promised energy efficiency. â&#x20AC;˘ Consider alternatives to conventional heating. For example, geothermal heating systems use the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural heat and are among the most efficient and energy-conserving heating technologies currently available. â&#x20AC;˘ Replacing your system? Purchase equipment with an ENERGY STAR label. High-efficiency systems reduce your impact on the environment and can also save you money. You may also be eligible for a Federal Tax Credit. Check with your local NATE contractor to determine qualifying models. Also, for optimal performance be sure to select the proper size system for your home. For resources and more tips on home heating and cooling visit www.hvacradvice.com. By following a few key tips, lowering your heating bill and increasing your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort can go hand in hand.

as a Muslim Brotherhood operative and a major contributor to the left-wing Center for Constitutional Rights, the group of jihadisympathizing lawyers who helped spring suspected Benghazi terror plotter Abu Sufian bin Qumu from Gitmo. While Obama has been hitting the golf courses and Hollywood fundraisers over the past two terms, the relentless jihadists have been training, recruiting, practicing, testing and refining. They’ve infiltrated our
prisons, our military and our universities. They’ve penetrated our borders, abused our toothless visa programs and exploited our indiscriminate refugee system to import and export the next generation of soldiers of Allah around the world. They’re experimenting with shoe bombs, underwear bombs, ink bombs, dry ice bombs and cargo bombs. Their dry runs on airliners continue unabated as our Federal Air Marshal Service shrinks from insuf-
ficient funds and abandonment. They command their own rogue freighter and aviation fleets. While Obama finally gets around to reading his teleprompter vow to destroy ISIS this week, Osama bin Laden’s heirs are diligently fulfilling their 20-year plan. According to al-Qaida documents and intelligence released nearly a decade ago, the Islamic avengers are already in their fifth phase of “declaration of the caliphate or the Islamic state.” Next comes “total war” and “final victory” by 2020, helped along by demographic domination: “The Islamic state’s capabilities will be great beyond measure when Muslims would number more than 1.5 billion.” Jihadist hijackers and head-choppers don’t quit. Appeasement and empty threats are no deterrence. They will not stop trying to outdo 9/11 -- unless, through our deadly adherence to political correctness, apathy, amnesia, open borders and sloth, we do ourselves in first.

going to do, rather than what he is not prepared to do; namely American boots in the Iraqi sand. Americans are war weary, but don’t humor us. Third; Obama promised additional aid for the “moderate” Syrian opposition fighting the Assad dictatorship. Easier said than done. At the start of the struggle against Assad the lines were clearer, today most of the opposition including ISIS are a murky gaggle of hardline fundamentalists and terrorists such as the Al Nusra front. Fourth; giving wider humanitarian assistance for refugees and displaced persons throughout the region. Already the UN has declared Iraq a “Level 3 Emergency,” a designation aimed at fast tracking additional assistance to embattled Christian, Yazidi, and Kurdish minorities. According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) , across Iraq an estimated 1.8 million people have been displaced since January. The speech showed strong rhetoric but scant details about what is likely to be a very open-ended mission. America’s overdue onslaught on the ISIS terrorists may blunt their momentum but not necessarily reverse the already entrenched gains of this radical jihadi group whose aim is to establish a hardline Islamic Caliphate throughout the Middle East and beyond. Alarmingly ISIS maps show their intended realm encompassing the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Turkey into the Balkans , and up to Hungary! While the mission is clearly necessary, one wonders if the Administration will have the political stamina and focus to see it through. In the best of plans, reality intrudes in the Middle East.

behind minimum wage laws, what matters are the actual consequences. Many people have ideological, financial or political incentives to obfuscate the consequences. Labor unions are the biggest force behind attempts to raise the minimum wage, not only in the United States but in other countries around the world. That may seem strange, since most union members already earn more than the minimum wage. But the unions know what they are doing, even if too many gullible observers do not. Low-skill workers with correspondingly low wages compete in the labor market with higher skilled union members with correspondingly higher wages. Many kinds of work can be done by various mixtures of low-skilled workers and high-skilled workers. Minimum wage rates that are higher than what most low-skilled and inexperienced workers are worth simply price those workers out of the job markets, leaving more work for union members. All the unions have to do is camouflage what is happening by using rhetoric about “a living wage,” or “social justice” or whatever else will impress the gullible. Life was tough when all I could get were lowpaying jobs. But it would have been a lot tougher if I couldn’t get any job at all. And a tough life made me go get some skills and knowledge.

in Iraq, “these people will try to follow us home and the region will erupt to a point where we may have to come back or we will be combating what is now, to a large degree, al-Qaida.” And so it is that seven years later, we are bombing Iraq as we battle an offshoot of al-Qaida amid fears that the terrorists will attack us here at home. It is not that the latest events in Iraq and Syria necessarily vindicate a rigorously McCainite foreign policy. You can believe ISIS must be defeated and still think that the Iraq War was a mistake and McCain and his allies are too recklessly interventionist. But events have vindicated the surge that devastated the forerunner of ISIS and demonstrated the folly of Obama’s total pullout from Iraq. The political worm has turned so completely that even Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, the strictest of noninterventionists, now supports war in Iraq and Syria. The most prominent figure who is out of step with this new zeitgeist is President Obama. He explained recently that things aren’t as bad as they seem because social media is amplifying events. He has gone from blaming Bush to blaming Instagram. It’s another evasion by a president who wants to avoid speaking too forthrightly about the threat of ISIS, lest he commit himself to

the forceful action necessary to defeat it. When the only tool you have is a hammer, President Obama has said of President Bush’s alleged approach to the world, every problem looks like a nail. By the same token, when the only tool you have is retreat, every
problem looks “manageable.” (c) 2014 by King Features Synd., Inc.

naturally the NCAA determined that he committed a rules violation. The NCAA has too many rules and the USA has too many laws. Way too many. Too many bad laws/rules result in contempt for stupid statutes while making law-breakers out of otherwise solid citizens. Take the subject of talking on cell-phones while driving. (Not texting, which is a different issue.) Until the Democrats passed a law forbidding talking on cell phones while driving, Granite Staters seemed to do just fine. Now, with this new law, people who have to take an important call while stuck in traffic will become law-breakers. I thought we were the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live Free or Die!â&#x20AC;? state.
