COMPLIMENTARYTHE WEIRS, LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE, N.H., THURSDAY, jUNE 26, 2014VOLUME 23, NO. 26

What do you have planned for this week-end? A ride around the lake, a trip to the moun-tains or even a ride to the seacoast? Why not add another dimension to your travels and take

the time to visit a few of the places that are helping New Hampshire become one of the coun-try’s premier craft beer locations.

It is also New Hamp-shire Craft Beer Week that goes through this weekend, giving you even more reason to check

out some of the original and tasty brews made right here in our own backyard (or front yards in some cases). It seems like one only has to turn around and a new New Hampshire craft brewery is coming on-line.

It was only a few months ago when the State of

New Hampshire put out a “Brewery Map” to give visitors and natives a handy guide and map to visit the then twenty-four breweries in the state. Since then a few more have opened and today there are over thirty New Hampshire breweries op-

The start of Portsmouth Music Hall’s the our excit-ing new series with Ogun-quit Playhouse is on July 9-13th when the present “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story”.

The show tells the story of Buddy’s meteoric rise to the top of the record charts during the golden days of rock ‘n’ roll—just a few short years that changed the course of musical his-tory and influenced some of the most iconic art-ists of the 20th century, from John Lennon to Bob Dylan, and from Keith Richards to Eric Clapton. The play chronicles the tragically short life of this sensational singer, song-writer, and musician.

Tickets for Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story are on sale now.

Tickets can be purchased at The Music Hall box of-fice in the Historic Theater, 28 Chestnut Street, Ports-mouth, over the phone at (603)-436-2400, at web-site www.themusichall.org More info & show dates www.themusichall.org.

NH Humane Society Summer Adopt-A-Thon

This June, New Hampshire Humane Society (NHHS) in partnership with VCA Lakes Region Veterinary Hospital, will spotlight a variety of cats, kittens, puppies and adult dogs available for adoption at their annual Summer Adop-A-Thon, Saturday June 28th 10a.m to 3p.m.

Following what is usually an initiative for cats, the local shelter has included all pets for this event with the goal of adopting as many pets as possible during this one day adop-tion extravaganza.

Adding to the festivities, Ben & Jerry’s will be doling out four euphoric selections of their delectable dessert, includ-ing a newly launched flavor, the rather aptly named Turtle Cheesecake. Proceeds from Ice Cream sales will benefit the homeless animals awaiting placement at the shelter on Mer-edith Center Road, Laconia.

Those wishing to adopt a new pet will be able to finalize adoptions the same day, provided all necessary paperwork is complete. Adopters will receive goodie bags to accompany their new pet home. To learn more about the Adopt A thon check www.nhhumane or call 524-3252 for details.

Sometimes things hap-pen that make me feel so insignificant.

Last week actor Leon-ardo DiCaprio said he was taking a vow to pro-tect the ocean.

Wow!!I can hardly figure out

how to get grass to grow on my small front lawn much less figure out how to maintain two-thirds of the world’s surface.

I guess being a ce-lebrity frees up your time enough to do such things.

I guess I’m a little jeal-ous.

I’ve always wanted to be a celebrity and see how it feels.

Yeah, I know, I write this column every week and some people recog-nize me, but I still have to get out of the fourteen items or less line at the supermarket if I have fif-teen or more items.

I’m sure someone like DiCaprio could get away with that. He could prob-ably make it through with twenty items and no one would say “Boo.”

I admit I’ve imagined that this column would get me to a higher celeb-rity status by now. May-be not one where I could single-handedly save the oceans, but at least to the point where I might have some influence on the local community swim-ming pool project. None of that has happened as planned, though I have been asked to be a ce-lebrity car washer at a

fundraiser at the local high school.

After unsuccessfully reaching the big celeb-rity status I have pined for all these years, I de-cided last year to publish a book “The Flatland-er Chronicles.” Widely praised by members of my family and a cou-ple of their friends, I thought that this would be my ticket to becoming a true big-time celeb.

Here it is a year later and even though sales of the book have been pretty good and I have become more recogniz-able to folks by appear-ing at local book signings (a few where I signed some books myself) I still am not ready to take a chance at the supermar-ket check-out.

I would have bet the mill ions I imagined I would have had by now that some big-time pro-ducer would have picked up the rights to “The Flatlander Chronicles” and made it into a major motion picture (perhaps starring Leonardo Di-Caprio, if he’s not too busy saving the ocean).

As of this writing, this wasn’t to be.

I ’m already hard at work, one mid-afternoon a week, working on my next book “Best Of A FOOL” though I’m not really sure if it is worth the effort. I can’t imagine being thrust into celeb-rity status with a bunch of old columns.

Sometimes I think I should reconsider.

Maybe my next book could be about a new diet I invent. I’m not sure what it would be yet, but I’m thinking I could call it “Eat Less, Move More.” Then I could get Dr. Oz to plug it on his show. People will buy anything he suggests.

Maybe I could make the book about how if you think good thoughts

good things will happen. I’d call it “Think Positive -Live Positive.” Then all I would need is for Oprah to get her hands on it and I’d be all set. But I doubt I could pull it off, in fact, I know it would never happen. So, I’ll just continue to put my nose to the grindstone every Wednesday from 2-3:15pm and hope that fame and fortune happen to find me - somehow.

I know that once I fi-nally succeed that I too will be able to use my fame to help the world around me as well.

I t m i gh t b e a f ew years until I am power-ful enough to save the oceans, but I do have a few other things in mind that I can work on until I get to that point.

Of course, being a fa-mous millionaire celeb-rity I will have to do all I can to stop income inequality, endearing myself to the ninety-nine percent who are jealous of anyone who has more money than they do, ex-cept for me, of course.

I will also need an im-portant environmental issue to embrace. Some kind of new regulation to get behind that will make life miserable for everyone else who isn’t a rich celebrity million-aire.

I can’t wait to get there. It will be a lot of fun. Maybe even an occasion-al lunch with Leo.

********Shameless Self-Pro-

motion -I will be one of the many authors at the New England Author Fair at Bayswater Books this Saturday, June 28th from 10am-1pm. Come on down and say hello before I am too famous to answer.

Obama Owns Iraqi Quagmire

To The Editor:As a Vietnam Era Navy

veteran, and having close relatives who served in every war from the Civil War to the Gulf War, I am disappointed with Presi-dent Obama’s dithering foreign policy. (Note: I am not a partisan person, and I have been a reg-istered Independent for many years).

P res ident Obama ’s complete wi thdrawal from Iraq has allowed the Sunni/al Qaida ter-rorists to make a huge comeback in Iraq, and threaten peace in the Middle East. It could ultimately set the stage for the establishment of bases to promote attacks throughout the world, including the United States. Is Afghanistan next?

Obama’s inattention to Iraq’s previous request for air support in May 2014 has led to the cur-rent threatening situa-tion. The 5,000 American contractors and embassy staff are in danger of at-tacks by the al-Qaida Islamists. The injection of Iranian troops in the battles further exacer-bates the conflict, and could allow Iran to gain a foothold in Iraq.

Obama’s pivot away from the Middle East has emboldened radical Islamic terrorists in Paki-stan, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and now Iraq. They know he is all talk and is ready to hand

out lots of carrots and punish enemies with a wet noodle.

Donald A. MoskowitzLondonderry, NH.

Graduating ClassTo the Editor:Today we are celebrat-

ing the achievements of graduating students. We applaud them and wish that they achieve their dreams.

While we are happy for those who are prepared for their next endeavor, we need to recognize that many of our schools are just not good enough for students or for our coun-try’s needs. Too many graduates are not pre-pared for the next level of education or for a decent job. And, far too many students drop out of bad, dangerous and uncaring schools and end up poor and/or incarcerated.

Changing the names of top-down driven pro-grams, e.g., now Com-mon Core, previously No Child Left Behind, continues to fail and ne-glects the real problems anyway.

There are thousands of great and millions of good public school teach-ers. But thousands of bad teachers and ad-ministrators, who can-not be fired, harm school morale and deprive mil-lions of students of their opportunities for good starts in life.

We have tried send-ing our public schools

increasing amounts of money and federal direc-tives for decades, but that doesn’t fix the problems caused by bad teachers, bad administrators, and an educational establish-ment stuck in the past.

Charter schools provide options for the fortunate few lucky enough to get in. Some parents, even very poor parents, strug-gle to send their children to private schools so they can avoid failing public schools. Their stories are heartbreaking. I recom-mend watching the docu-mentary movie, “Waiting for Superman”, available in many libraries, includ-ing Meredith’s.

Taxpayers fund great p u b l i c e d u c a t i o n s , spending (in 2011) on av-erage $13,041 per pupil in public schools versus $8549, $8001, $6018 in private, charter, and Cathol ic schools re-spectively (http://www.edreform.com/2012/04/k-12-facts/). Sadly, too many publ ic schools don’t deliver quality re-sults. It’s long past time for Americans to demand the changes needed so each child can get a good education in a good, safe school.

It’s time to change how public education money is spent. Every tax dollar collected for public edu-cation should be directed by a child’s parents to the school the parent selects for his or her child.

“They don’t care.”

As Obama adminis t ra-tion officials pivot like hay-wire jewelry-box ballerinas to divert atten-tion away from the nationwide Veterans Af-fairs disgrace,

a reader who has been fighting the system urged me to urge Capitol Hill and the American public to stay focused.

This former Special Forces sol-dier and medic served his coun-try for 25 years. He worked in the health care field managing mili-tary field medical clinics. “I know how health care is supposed to run, even in austere or low-budget environments,” he says. And in his nightmarish, ongoing experience, the VA is an epic, deadly, monstrous failure. He minces no words: “They’re get-ting billions of dollars, and they treat veterans like s-t. There’s no accountability, no buy-in, among civilian unionized employees. We mean nothing to them. It’s like going to the DMV for your health care.”

Over the past four years, the veteran tells me, he has been under direct VA care for two ma-jor line-of-duty-related injuries, including one combat-related in-jury. One of the medical centers that treated him -- or rather mis-treated him and maltreated him -- is the Coatesville, Pa., VA. It’s the same facility where four vets died due to medical malpractice, leading to nearly $1.4 million in settlements to vets’ families, ac-cording to The Center for Inves-tigative Reporting.

The harrowing cases included

two fatal failures to monitor pa-tients, improper management of a psychiatric patient, and wrong-ful diagnosis or misdiagnosis of a patient.

These details are all too familiar to my reader. “I have been misdi-agnosed, had a missed diagnosis, and had delays of care lasting months,” he says. “My records have been lost, changed, split and mismanaged.” He has expe-rienced firsthand the same “slow-walking” of care that millions of other VA patients have encoun-tered and scores have died from -- a systemic modus operandi of “lie, delay, deny.”

The vet gets a catch in his voice as he relates a horrible anecdote. After refusing to return to the Coatesville facility and seeking treatment at another VA clinic one day, he became nauseous. Instead of allowing him to lie down on a gurney, a nurse made him vomit outside so he wouldn’t soil the bed. He believes the office was open not to treat patients, but as a front for nurses to pick up extra shifts. He has encoun-tered similar degrading and con-descending treatment across the VA system.

When he appealed for help and advocacy within the system, the veteran was met with a stone wall of “Not My Job”-ism. Through denials of care, contraindicated medications, repeated mistakes and delays of pharmacy items, he endured callousness, humili-ation and stigmatization. “When I get angry, they call me ‘crazy.’” Classic blame-the-victim tactics from the VA abusers.

Big Government politicians want to throw more funding at the VA, as usual. The veteran offers a scathing reality check: “There is ample money to address

Freder -ick Doug-lass gave one of the great July F o u r t h orations in American h i s t o r y . Speaking in Roches-

ter, N.Y., in 1852, he hailed the accom-plishments and ideals of the Founders, before denouncing the nation’s departures from the faith of the Declaration of Independence with the righ-teousness and fury of an Old Testament prophet.

Douglass is one of the na-tion’s greatest champions of freedom. The former slave fought for it for himself and for others, and in his speech-es and writings left a record of devotion to liberty that will echo through all time.

In his youth as a slave on

the Eastern Shore of Mary-land, Douglass looked at the sailboats on the Chesapeake with envy, as he wrote later in his first memoir: “You are freedom’s swift-winged angels that fly round the world. I am confined in bands of iron! O that I were free! O, that I were on one of your gallant decks, and under your protecting wing!”

Douglass forged his own freedom through shrewdness and will. When the wife of a household he was serving began innocently to teach him to read, her husband rebuked her: “A n----- should know nothing but to obey his master -- to do as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best n----- in the world. Now, if you teach that n----- how to read, there would be no keep-ing him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave.”

That was all Douglass need-See lowry on 33

A BiTTer AfTerTAsTeT h e n e w s

from Iraq that Islamic terror-ists have now taken over cities that American troops liberated during the Iraq war must have left an especial-

ly bitter after-taste to Amer-icans who lost

a loved one who died taking one of those cities, or to a survivor who came back without an arm or leg, or with other traumas to body or mind.

Surely we need to learn some-thing from a tragedy of this mag-nitude.

Some say that we should never have gone into Iraq in the first place. Others say we should never have pulled our troops out when we did, leaving behind a weak and irresponsible government in charge.

At a minimum, Iraq should put an end to the notion of “nation-building,” especially nation-build-ing on the cheap, and to the glib and heady talk of “national great-ness” interventionists who were prepared to put other people’s lives on the line from the safety of their editorial offices.

Those who are ready to blame President George W. Bush for ev-erything bad that has happened since he left office should at least acknowledge that he was a patri-otic American president who did what he did for the good of the country -- an assumption that we can no longer safely make about the current occupant of the White House.

If President Bush’s gamble that we could create a thriving democ-racy in the Middle East -- one of the least likely places for a de-mocracy to thrive -- had paid off, it could have been the beginning

of a world-changing benefit to this generation and to generations yet unborn.

A thriving free society in the Muslim world, and the values and example that such a society could represent, might undermine the whole hate-filled world terrorist movement that is seeking to turn back civilization to a darker world of centuries past.

But creating such a society, if it is possible at all, cannot be done on the cheap, with politicians constantly calling for us to an-nounce to the world -- including our enemies -- when we are going to leave. The very idea is silly, but everything silly in not funny.

We haven’t yet announced when we are going to pull our troops out of Germany or Japan, and World War II was over more than 60 years ago. Turning those milita-ristic countries around was one of the great achievements in human history. Their neighboring coun-tries have been able to enjoy a peace and security that they had not known for generations.

Perhaps what was achieved in Germany and Japan made it seem that we might achieve something similar in Iraq. But “the great-est generation” that had fought and survived the horrors of war around the world was under no illusion that trying to turn our defeated enemies around would be easy, quick and cheap.

Creating democracy in Germany and Japan was a goal, but not a fetish. Creating a stable and vi-able government amid the ruins and rubble of war was the first priority and a major responsibil-ity. You cannot create instant democracy like you are making instant coffee.

There are prerequisites for a free society, and the foundations of de-mocracy cannot be built on cha-otic conditions with widespread

UNITED NA-TIONS—Set to the tempo of escalating vio-lence, wide-sp r ead hu -man r i gh t s violations, and spreading re-gional conflict, Syria’s civil war continues

into its fourth year. But beyond the increasingly grisly statistics, a UN panel has concluded the crisis has reached a “tipping point” threaten-ing the entire region. Tellingly, both sides to the conflict, the Assad family regime and the gaggle of Is-lamic fundamentalist rebel groups share blame for the bloodletting.

Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, a respect-ed Brazilian diplomat and legal scholar who served as Chair of the Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria warned the UN Human Rights Council, “With war-ring parties in unrelenting pursuit of the illusion of military victory, violence has escalated to an un-precedented level. Perpetrators of crimes have no fear or thought of consequence.”

Pinheiro stated chillingly, “Im-punity has made its home in the Syrian Arab Republic.”

Significantly, the near political paralysis of the UN Security Coun-cil has created another logjam. The USA, Britain and France have to varied degrees of enthusiasm tried to foster political change in Syria. Russia has offered military sup-

port to the Damascus rulers as well diplomatic cover fire in the Security Council. Three draft resolutions since 2011, were shamelessly ve-toed by the Moscow/Beijing tag team. American diplomacy was checkmated and Syrians of all per-suasions suffered.

Realistically this means the Council has been sidelined. Pin-heiro advised, “The international community, and specifically the Se-curity Council, has yet to demand accountability for the crimes that are being committed daily against the Syrian people. Through their inaction, a space has been created for the worst of humanity to ex-press itself.”

The report states, “Syrians live in a world where decisions about whether to go to the mosque for prayers, to the market for food and to send their children to school have become decisions about life and death.”

Paulo Pinheiro concedes that attempts to reach a political settle-ment have been abandoned and that the “warring parties have recommitted themselves to the dangerous illusion that military victory is within reach. ” He adds some states continue to deliver large arms shipments to the Syrian government while others support armed groups. Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are among the players.

The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), an Al-Qaida offshoot, is a case in point. While the terror-

ist organization has firm roots in both Iraq and Syria among Sunni Muslim jihadis, the group opposes both the secular government in Damascus and Baghdad. They don’t comprise the majority of the rebels but they sadly seem among

the most effective. In Iraq, the ISIS terrorists have stunningly seized large swaths of the northern “Sunni triangle” in their quest to create a regional Islamic state.

heALThy Tips from dr. fink

by Dr. Charles FinkFInk Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center

In January we ran an article titled; “Fat, It’s not what makes you Fat”. It was a two part article with excerpts from an article by Dr. Mark Hy-man, a physician and bestselling author from New York. Due to a re-cent radio broadcast by Dr. Chapin, our local Endocrinologist and an article in the Times mag-azine, I decided to run it again. The following quote from the Times ar-

ticle speaks volumes to those who have educated themselves or learned the hard way the dam-age that a low-fat diet can do. “The taste of my childhood was skim milk. We spread bright yel-low margarine on dinner rolls, ate low-fat micro-wave oatmeal flavored with apples and cinna-mon, put nonfat ranch on our salads. We were only doing what we were told.” (Ending the War on Fat, by Brian Walsh) Fat is not the enemy!

When people eat less fat, they tend to eat more starch or sugar instead, and this actually in-creases their levels of dangerous cholesterol, the small, dense choles-terol that causes heart attacks. In fact, stud-ies show that 75% of people who end up in the emergency room with a heart attack have nor-mal overall cholesterol levels. What they do have is pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.

So, what’s the conclu-sion here? Eating a diet with good quality fat and protein prevents and even reverses diabetes and pre-diabetes (diabe-sity). And eating sugar and refined carbs cause diabesity.

So, I encourage you to look at the issue of fat and sugar in a totally different way. Don’t cut out the fat; enjoy it! Eat good fats. Here are Dr. Hymans favorite sources of fat.

“Before I came to your office and received treat-

my pelvic and groin area due to a very hard fall.

I had been to two previous Doctors and they

Taking a Surgical Time Out During June, National Time Out Day was observed around the country, including Huggins Hospital. Taking a “time out” to confirm correct patient, correct procedure, correct surgical site, and other important information before every operative and other invasive procedure is a requirement of The Joint Commission Universal Protocol. Despite this requirement, 40 to 60 wrong site surgeries likely occur in the U.S. each week.

“A surgical ‘time out’ prior to beginning surgery has been a standard practice at Huggins Hospital for over five years,” said Helen Baker, RN, CNOR, Director of Surgical Services. “Most patients are unaware of this time out. When everyone is in the operating room, before starting, we all take a moment to identify the patient, the procedure, the correct procedure site, and the members of the surgical team.” Baker went on to explain that, at this point, all member of the surgical team, the surgeons, OR nurses, and anesthesiologists, communicate with each other. “Along with verifying the information, it establishes the team with mutual respect.”

Wrong patient, wrong site, wrong procedures are sentinel events. These are described by The Joint Commission as “an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury, or the risk thereof.” To perioperative nurses, they are tragedies. “This is why we recognize National Time Out Day,” added Baker. “It is our commitment to our patients, their loved ones and the entire surgical community that we will always take time out for every patient, every time.”

So is a perioperative Time Out effective? Huggins Hospital has had zero wrong site surgeries and zero wrong patient surgeries. In addition, Huggins Hospital has had a zero percent infection rate for joint replacement surgery since 2009, when the data began being collected by the hospital. For overall surgical procedures, Huggins Hospital has one of the lowest rates of surgical infection in the state, according to the NH Quality Care website.

I was on vacation last week. Well, not a vaca-tion, but a “stay-cation”, as some call it. I typically take two weeks off a year, one around Christmas and one in the summer. We decided to stay local, because 1) we had family coming from 20 hours away to visit us here and 2) we live in the Lakes Region, which essentially means we are blessed to find ourselves in a vacation spot daily. While I was rest-ing, I did find myself oc-casionally thinking about work and things I should be doing or could be do-ing, instead of recharging. I think this is common feeling for most folks…whether it be a day off, a free hour, or a vacation; the feeling that I should be busy always lurks. Let me give you (and myself) a piece of advice: you don’t have to feel this way.

I don’t know where this fallacy comes from that we should always be busy.

This is just who we are as a culture now. A report last year from the Center for Economic and Policy Research looked at the 21 countries considered ad-vanced economies or rich nations. These countries were 16 European coun-tries, the US, Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. Our country is the only one NOT required to give workers paid vaca-tion. The fact is: without paid vacation it’s hard for many to take time off. Fur-thermore, many folks are not too busy by choice, but simply have to work more than one job to make ends meet. This is our reality as Americans currently: to keep up, we have to stay busy. Money isn’t the only thing that stops us though. In fact, according to a 2014 Glassdoor survey US em-ployees only take 51% of their PAID time off. The pressure to be productive, to protect your job, or to try and get ahead appears to be too great. Being ac-tive and productive is good for an individual. There does come a point, though, where it is too much and it can become a health is-sue. There are connections to those who vacation/ take time off from work with increased happiness and decreased depression. There is also evidence ac-cording to the Framingham Heart Study that men who

take time off are32% less likely to have a heart attack and women are 50% less likely. Time off appears to increase health.

The fact remains we all need our jobs: we have bills to pay and ends to meet, I get that. However, if you are too stressed, depressed, and generally burned out, then those obligations are creating long term issues and it will not be worth it to grind out today to mort-gage tomorrow. So what do we do? Well, if you have time off - take it! Get away, take a road trip, just go. Yet, you don’t have to go anywhere and you don’t need to spend a bunch of money. If you can’t go away somewhere fun, then make home fun. Sleep in, take a lazy day, read a book, rent a movie, go for a walk, swim in the lake, do whatever you want. Just take the time for yourself. On the other hand, if you really can’t take time off work because you get no paid leave, my advice is this: you still have to take time for yourself. Maybe it’s only a long weekend, or maybe it’s an hour per day, but you have to turn off your brain, unplug, and be free. Your health is too valuable.

Our health mindset, is generally built on disre-garding the future to sur-vive today. This will always lead to more problems in the future. Bigger prob-lems, problems that are more expensive, more time consuming, and sometimes unable to be fixed. It is always preferable to “pre-hab” your life and health, then rehab it. Remember our health is worth taking care of today, maybe if we weren’t so busy we’d all remember that.

Bottom line is this: you need time for yourself, mentally and physically. It is your job to find this time because if you can’t volun-tarily slow yourself down, eventually your health will do it for you involuntarily. This is not an option, take control of your health and you take control of your life.

32ND ANNIVERSARY

Difficulty hearing may be more than just a quality-of-life issue. Growing evidence indicates that untreated hearing loss in older adults can lead to other health conditions, and one of the most concerning is cogni-tive decline.

In fact, a Johns Hopkins Study found that cognitive diminishment was 41 per-cent more likely in seniors with hearing loss. Because maintaining the health of the brain is such a priority for older people, hearing difficulties should not be ignored.

Hearing And The BrainTo hear well, the brain

and ears work together. Sound is heard through the ears and then the brain translates the noise so you can understand what it is. This means you not only

hear language, music and traffic, but you compre-hend these are all differ-ent sounds with different meanings.

With untreated hearing loss, the signals to your brain are weaker, and therefore you have to think much harder to under-stand the noises around you. When the brain is us-ing more cognitive resourc-es to understand sounds, other brain activities like memory and comprehen-sion can suffer, often caus-ing cognitive decline.

Effects Of Untreated Hearing Loss

In addition to diminished mental health, untreated hearing loss can lead to

numerous health condi-tions:

* Mental fatigue and stress

* Poor memory * Concentration diffi-

culty * Social withdrawal * DepressionJust like maintaining

muscle mass or speak-ing a foreign language, hearing health should be approached with a “use it or lose it” mentality. Au-diologists agree that early intervention is key because when the brain doesn’t hear certain noises for a long time, it can actually lose the ability to compre-hend those sounds. For example, the longer the brain is deprived of hear-ing high-frequency sounds, the more difficult it will be to process those sounds, even if corrective measures are taken.

Taking ActionIf you or a loved one may

be experiencing hearing loss, visit www.Starkey.com for a free and simple online hearing test. For a complete evaluation of your hearing, visit a licensed

hearing care professional in your area.

An estimated 26.7 mil-lion Americans ages 50 and older suffer from hear-ing loss, yet only one in seven uses a hearing aid, according to a Johns Hop-kins study published in “The Hearing Review.” After a professional diagnosis, your audiologist can help you learn your options for hearing better, including modern, discreet hearing aids.

Invisible Hearing AidsMany of today’s hearing

aids cannot be seen, mean-ing no one but you will know you’re wearing one. For example, invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) are about the size of a jelly bean and are custom fit to your ear canal. Another option is the mini receiver-in-canal (RIC) device, which resembles the shape of a traditional hearing aid but is half the size. The mini RIC hides behind a per-son’s ear, making it nearly invisible.

Even though the size of today’s hearing aids has dramatically decreased, wearers enjoy high per-formance and power, in-cluding many smart fea-tures. For example, the Starkey Halo hearing aids are engineered to work with your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, so video chat, phone calls, music and more stream directly into your hearing aids without creating any background buzzing or whistling.

From quality of life to cognitive health, the ben-efits of hearing well go be-yond sound. To learn more about hearing loss and dif-ferent hearing aid options, visit www.InvisibleHearin-gAid.com.

WORLD CUP MANIA!The quadrennial World

Cup Soccer Tournament inevitably reminds me of my Groveton High School language teacher, Ge-rard Gaetjens. One Oc-tober afternoon in 1972, Monsieur Gaetjens ven-tured to the GHS soccer field to watch our Pur-ple Eagles lose a hard-fought 2-1 contest to a White Mountain Regional team that would end the season as undefeated state champions. (There was only one N.H. boys’ tournament in those days.) A fellow named Dave Pinkham scored both goals for WMRHS. Apres le match—after the game—Mons ieur Gaetjens spoke rather dismissively of the qual-ity of soccer he’d wit-nessed, which I found annoying.

“What does he know?” I thought. “Isn’t he from Haiti? Do they even have sports in Haiti?”

But I knew that soc-cer (or futbol) WAS the world’s most popular sport—played in virtu-ally every nation.

I remained a soccer guy after high school and made the sub-varsity team at UNH as a fresh-man. I played several seasons in the NH sum-mer soccer conference. I was delighted to see both my daughters serve as soccer team captains at Concord High School. So being a soccer guy, I naturally get World Cup fever every four years. Men’s AND women’s. Watching the U.S. wom-en’s team beat China for

the 1999 Women’s World Cup remains one of my top sports memories.

And as a sports his-torian of sorts, I knew that the USA didn’t have much of a World Cup tra-dition before the 1990s. Except for 1950. I later read about how that year, a hastily thrown-together U.S. Men’s Na-t ional Team traveled to Brazil for the World Cup tournament. The squad included semi-pro players who other-wise taught high school, drove hearses, or deliv-ered mail. A 500-1 shot, the Americans found themselves scheduled to play a powerhouse England team that had defeated a strong Portu-gal team 10-0 in Lisbon two weeks earlier. But in a true sports mira-cle—apologies to 1980 US Olympic ice hockey team—the US pulled off a 1-0 win, in what some still feel is the greatest World Cup upset of all time.

The l one goa l was scored on a first half header by a Haitian dish-washer then living in New York City. His name was Joe Gaetjens—brother of Gerard, my high school

French teacher.I guess they did have

sports in Haiti after all!

SPURS, MONARCHS AND ZAC

Granite State sports fans were richly reward-ed in both the Stanley Cup and the NBA Fi-nals. While the Bruins and Celtics were respec-tively absent from each series, the Los Ange-les Kings and the San Antonio Spurs do have strong N.H. connections. The Kings roster has numerous former N.H. residents in the form of Manchester Monarch “alums.” And the Spurs, of course, feature former Concord High School hoop standout Matt Bon-ner.

Speaking of the Mon-archs, it was cool to see one of my former NHTI-Concord sports man-agement students, Zac Guercia, actually suit up for the team in February. Zac grew up in Concord playing hockey goal-keeper, before becom-ing assistant equipment manager with the Mon-archs. When personnel circumstances left the

If a man l i k e D a n S n y d e r wan t s t o name his team “Red-s k i n s ” A m e r i c a can choose not to at-tend their g a m e s .

That is a business deci-sion. Where in the US Constitution does govern-ment get to tell him how to run his business? Why does a man who has a small business and strong religious beliefs and prin-ciples face prosecution for setting his rules within his business by the US Government? What if a Liberal restaurant owner employs grubby looking (dirty hair, rings in many different locations about the face, ears, lips, eye-brows) am I required to eat there? Or do I get to close their restaurant knowing the owner and his staff find that many folks enjoy the dining ex-perience?

********David McConville com-

ments in NH Union Leader 6/17: “President Obama told us all what he had in mind for a ‘transformation of America’ in his book ‘Dreams From My Father.’ Few believed he would be as radical as he really is. Most of us thought that Obama was just the usual socialist wanting to trans-fer wealth and power from the rich to the poor within the country. How wrong we are. President Obama wants to fulfill the “dream of his father” which is to bring America DOWN TO THE LEVEL of the rest of the world by transform-ing America’s traditions which made us rich to the traditions of social-ism which makes other countries poor. Obama is already, by his economic policies, exporting Ameri-

can wealth, while import-ing poverty.”

Looking at the situation, however, King Hussein Obama began the tran-sition within a year. He had a plan. First, turning Black American against White American. He would also travel the world to apologize for America. What had we done SO wrong in Obama’s eyes?

Barack The First also proclaimed; having turned the nation into slight tur-moil, “I have lit the fire for a race war, why not some multicultural havoc? I will pit Gay folks against Straight Christians, and AG Holder and I will pour some gasoline to ignite a cultural war by putting those who use the First Amendment as creating HATE CRIMES. This is a good time to solidify the baby killer doctors across the nation, after all, it is about a woman’s body. Barack said: I will not punish my daughter with a baby!

********The elephant (GOP)

does not have a very good memory. How many re-publicans who had bene-fited from being a member of the party who during an election or had a job thanks to the GOP were “Republicans for Lynch”. How many Jennifer Horn? Need help in remember-ing? Bernie Streeter, Grif Dalianis (husband of the Judge), and Judd Gregg’s guy Joel Maiola. Don’t care about the spelling. This “republicans for (fill in the blank with the Dem-ocrat’s name) goes back to the days of Mel Thomson. Then it was republican Dave Nixon as a Demo-crat. Jennifer, when the ESTABLISHMENT is not happy with a conservative who will not be dictated to, they openly support the Democrat. How many republicans stood by our conservative women when

the Dems purposely re-ferred to them as “Tea Baggers”?*

******** One has to wonder

why Scott Brown refuses to take questions from someone like me during a live radio talk show. This seems to be a pattern with the Establishment NH GOP. Stay clear of a conservative host who has the answering tour where candidates AN-SWER questions relative to the issues. In my 18th year of buying airtime (selling advertising) I have been able to build a lis-tenership across the state of NH and beyond. Why are the candidates afraid to be my guest? Rubens, Smith, and Karen have taken questions from me and the callers. Party uni-ty only goes one way. Un-fortunately a 6 year term insulates the victor once the ballots are counted. Sen. Ayotte does not have me on her rolodex. And I voted for her! She doesn’t have to answer our ques-tions for another 2 years. I would be honored to have Jeanne Shaheen visit me in studio dur-ing a trip to Laconia this summer. Heck, she was a co-sponsor of a piece of legislation I sponsored in ‘93-’94 term for the then-NHMA (Maura Carroll).

********My daughter from Hamp-

stead: “Funny how my hard drive crashed and it took 3 months to retrieve ALL of my files (7+ years accumulation) for 1200$ - little outfit in Wisconsin. You don’t think the FBI or CIA could do it in less time with the government’s money? Where there’s a will there’s a way. Maybe I should send the white house a business card from Gillware Software ( https://gillware.com/services.php).”

The sound of moVing wATer

There is no better way to get birds flocking to your yard than a good source of fresh water. A bird’s need for water in all four seasons is so strong that even species you never expected will be attracted to a stra-tegically placed water source.

Birds are very oppor-tunistic. If a birdbath is not available, they will accept water in al-most any device or in-dentation, even the tini-est puddles that would hardly get your shoes wet. By adding a water feature to your backyard habitat you can have a focal point of interest that benefits your feath-ered friends.

The most natural spot for a bath is close to the ground. Water at higher levels not only appeals to some species, it reduces the bird’s exposure to cat attacks. A soaking wet bird is no match for an aggressive feline. Lo-cating a birdbath near trees improves security against raptors. Plus, branches are an eas-ily reached perch from which to preen in safe-ty.

Motion on water’s sur-face or the noise of fall-ing water is like a mag-net to the wild birds. If you don’t have room for a recirculating waterfall, any device that moves the water or creates a sound will do the trick. Dripper, misters or small pump driven fountains that keep water moving have the added benefit of preventing mosquito eggs from hatching.

You can create your own dripper by hang-ing an old watering can over your birdbath on a sheppard’s hook. Angle the spout so that just a small dripping action is achieved. An old bucket with a tiny hole on the bottom is an acceptable alternative.

If you have a lawn ir-rigation system, you can connect it to a birdbath for a continuous water flow. Run a line with a spray emitter from the drip system to the place where the birdbath is lo-cated. Every time the ir-rigation system goes on, fresh water flushes out the bath, refills it and assures the birds always have a source for bathing and drinking.

Whatever your space or topography allows, providing water in your bird-friendly yard is an integral part of the bird-scaping plan. The birds

won’t care if it’s an elab-orate bathing structure or an upside down gar-bage can lid. They simply want a reliable, clean source of water all year long.

Enjoy your birds!

This summer the New Hampshire Boat Museum is offering a fun-filled week of camp for children. This hands-on, fun adventure will help children discover how the lakes, rivers, and streams of Wolfeboro con-nect our past with our future.

Campers will participate in crafts, games, and ex-periments designed to in-still an appreciation for our abundant freshwa-ter resources. Students will create a model birch bark canoe and a magical wish boat. Kids can run off their energy with boating-themed relay games. Sci-ence enthusiasts will enjoy discovering plants and ani-mals living in our lakes and wetlands.

Highlights will include one special off-site visit for each session. Lower elementary students will visit Back Bay with the Back Bay Skippers to learn how to sail model sail-boats. Upper elementary students will ride on the New Hampshire Boat Mu-seum’s wooden boat, Millie B, followed by a tour with the captain of the docked Winni Belle. To conclude our adventure, we will eat a bag lunch onboard the Winnie Belle overlooking the Town Docks.

The cost to attend is $15

per day for members’ chil-dren or grandchildren and $18 per day for not-yet-members’ children and grandchildren. To help keep activities age-specific, we divided the camp days as follows:

Session 1: Children en-tering lower elementary grades K-2, July 21-22 from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM with Tuesday the 22nd be-ing a longer field trip day

Session 2: Children en-tering upper elementary grades 3-6, July 23-25

Lake Discovery Camp to Provide Fun and Enrichment for Area Youth

Lake Discovery Camp will provide fun and enriching experiences for children this summer.

from 9:00 AM to Noon with Friday the 25th being a longer field trip day.

To sign up, either go to www.nhbm.org under the Programs and Events but-ton or call the Museum at 569-4554.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is now open to the public for the 2014 season on Saturday, May 24 and remain open through Mon-day, October 13, 10am-4pm Monday through Saturday, and Sunday 12noon-4pm.

Ask The BuildermeTAL pegBoArd is The cure for sTorAge BLues

by tim CarterSyndicated Columnist

The metal pegboard in my garage puts everything I need at my fingertips.

DEAR TIM: I’ve tried and tried to get traditional wood-fiber pegboard to work. No matter what I do, over time the holes in the pegboard enlarge, the

hooks and hangers get loose and everything’s a mess. What’s more, I’d like a little color in my work-shop other than brown. I’ve seen metal pegboard and wonder if it’s really the answer. --Marsha C., California, Maryland

DEAR MARSHA: I can speak to your frustration.

For decades I struggled with brown wood-fiber pegboard. I tried every imaginable hook design but always ended up frus-trated.

Some hooks and pegs work well, but if you grab or hang a tool on the hook frequently, the wood fiber holes enlarge and the par-ty’s over. Fortunately, this

happened to an enterpris-ing man who no doubt ut-tered one day, “There must be a better way.” That’s when he decided to invent metal pegboard.

I discovered this unique invention about 15 years ago at the National Hard-ware Show. I discovered long ago the best part of the show is where all

the tiny 10-foot by 10-foot booths are located. That’s where you find the new companies that have unique products.

I was walking down an aisle when all of a sudden I saw a small display of met-al pegboard. Not only did it have the traditional holes you see in wood fiber, but it also had narrow slots in

it. My head swiveled and I proceeded to back up and take a look. Thank good-ness I did!

There in the booth was the inventor, Rick Grove. The sign in the booth simply said, “Wall Con-trol.” What a great name, I thought -- my tool storage walls were out of control.

My questions to the inven-tor focused on the narrow slots and the specialized hangers that fit into these evenly spaced slots.

The special hooks, hang-ers, shelves, accessories and so forth all had a clever interlocking hook design that ensured the hooks would never pull out of the metal pegboard. You inserted the hook by tilting it and lifting it up. When you put the rest of the hook into the pegboard and then slid it down ever so slightly, it interlocked into the pegboard. The strength of the metal hook and pegboard made sure it would never fail under the weight of ordinary tools.

I knew instantly, as soon as I saw how the hooks

interlocked with the peg-board, it was one of those rare inventions that would be a game changer. I knew it would work, so I ordered the pegboard immediately and began testing it. Just as I suspected, it’s worked well.

As the years passed, Rick started to introduce colored panels, more ac-cessories and hooks than you could ever imagine. His product is one of my very favorite things in my workshop. Anyone who visits is immediately taken by it.

One of the best aspects of the product is the tra-ditional holes that you see in wood-fiber pegboard. If you have an investment in hooks and tool holders that work in your existing wood pegboard, they’ll work in the metal pegboard. You don’t have to buy new hooks and hangers, but once you see how well Rick’s proprietary hooks, hangers and shelves work, I’m willing to wager you’ll switch.

The honeymoon is far from over. Every time I grab or hang a tool on my pegboard, it’s like the morning after my wedding day. My metal pegboard is now over 15 years old and it looks like the day I installed it. I’ve reorga-nized how tools, shelves and bins are stored on the metal pegboard numerous times. I really feel I now have an ideal layout where the things I use most fre-quently are exactly where

I need them.I see hundreds of new

products each year. Most are ho-hum, and only ev-ery once in a while do I see a product that makes me wide-eyed like that day in the basement of the Na-tional Hardware Show.

If you decide to get the metal pegboard I have, take your time and think about the color you want. Realize you can mix and match the hooks, hangers, shelves and other acces-sories. I’ve discovered it’s best to make the hooks and hangers a completely different color than the metal pegboard. That way the hooks and hangers stand out and you can easily place tools on them when the light may be dim in your workshop.

I’ve also discovered that spring-loaded desk lamps on articulating arms make fantastic workbench light-ing. I recycle the weighed base that comes with the light and just drill a one-half-inch hole into the wood top of my work bench. This gives me great task lighting, and I swing the light out of the way when I don’t need it.

pany in Henniker (the only Henniker on earth by the way) is a classic example of the start up and ultimate success in the New Hampshire craft beer industry.

Started by David Cur-rier, a former state repre-sentative and senator in the 1970s, found himself as the landlord of a large vacant building after the business tenants gave their notice and pulled out. To make a long story short, he realized, along with other investors, that there really weren’t any brewing facilities in that part of the state and, with a helping hand and

(Definition wise – a brewery is a building or establishment where beer is brewed, a micro-brewery produces less than 15,000 barrels per year mostly exotic or high quality, a brew pub is a commercial estab-lishment that brews its own beer for sales and is typically combined with a restaurant.)

advice from some other local brewers, went into the brewing business where today, two years later, business is very good.

Currier not only found out how to brew beer, he also found that there was a real strength and camaraderie between lo-cal brewers. They knew that their own success depended on the success of others. Even banding together to keep their eyes on local legislation and how it might affect them all. Currier was instrumental in forming the Granite State Brew-ers Association a 501(c) 6 organization.

ed to know. “From that moment, I understood the pathway from slav-ery to freedom,” he said. “I set out with high hope, and a fixed purpose, at whatever cost of trouble, to learn how to read.” He traded his bread to white boys in exchange for their reading lessons, and devoured the collec-tion of classic speeches, The Columbian Orator. Its writings in opposi-tion to all oppression “gave tongue to interest-ing thoughts of my own soul.”

In a turning point , he fought back against a s lave breaker who sought to beat him. “You have seen how a man was made a slave,” he writes of this act of self-assertion, “you shall see how a slave was made a man.” All that was left was to make his escape.

In the North, he be-came a fierce abolition-ist and an evangelist for work and self-im-provement. In his most popular lecture, titled “Self-Made Men,” he de-clared, “We may explain success mainly by one word and that word is

lowry from 6the needs of American veterans,” he says. “The problem is far deeper and more dangerous than just secret waiting lists. The VA almost killed me; my health is worse now than it was when I entered care; my quality of life and living conditions have been nothing short of hor-rific as I have waited years for adjudication of my benefits case, which in the end was botched.”

Again, the vet refuses to candy-coat the roots of the festering VA scandal: “The problem is not just waiting lists. It is utter fraudulent expenditure of enormous budgets, not on veterans, but on overpaid

lazy, surly civilian em-ployees that often make it clear that a) they do not like veterans and b) that the veteran is actually a nuisance. The problem is endemic, at every level, in the VA. The unfortunate fact of the matter is this: Veterans have become in-cidental to the process at the VA.”

The system is “an enor-mous cash cow, ware-housing tens of thousands of overpaid employees” who “keep the gravy-train rolling.” The vet has a plea on behalf of all of his brothers and sisters who are drowning in the VA’s “lie, delay, deny” abyss:

“Please, don’t let this die.”

In his legendary July Fourth oration, he said this holiday “is yours, not mine,” and lashed the country for the na-tional sin of slavery. But he honored the country’s founding, in words that will always be true. “The 4th of July is the first great fact in your na-tion’s history -- the very ringbolt in the chain of your yet undeveloped destiny,” he declared. “Cling to this day -- cling to it, and to its princi-ples, with the grasp of a storm-tossed mariner to a spar at midnight.”

In the case of Moat Moun-tain in North Conway which also features its own Inn, a great way to finish out a day of brew-ery tours and tastings.

There is a wide variety of ales ,pilsners, stouts and porters in flavors that continue to amaze, way too many to l ist here. Beer is poured into bottles and capped, into kegs for use at local res-taurants and poured into growlers, large (usually)

glass bottle or jugs with resealable caps where cus tomers can take home fresh brewed beer straight from the tap.

The burgeoning craft beer industry in New Hampshire has also, ob-viously, been great for the local economy. It has also been a boon towards opening up new experi-ences for the consumer.

Most breweries now offer “tastings.” Much like local vineyards, beer lovers can now visit the breweries, often being able to take tours and then being able to sam-ple the varieties of beer while learning the pro-cess of how a great beer is crafted.

Metzler from 7 Sowell from 7uncertainty and fear. To hold elections for the sake of holding elections is to abdicate responsibility for the sake of appearances.

The biggest danger is that you will create a gov-ernment that will work at cross purposes to ev-erything you are trying to achieve -- a government you cannot rein in, much less repudiate, without destroying your own cred-ibility as representatives of democracy. That has happened in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

By contrast, in both Ger-many and Japan power was turned over to elected officials at such times and in such degree as condi-tions seemed to indicate. Eventually, both coun-tries resumed their roles as sovereign nations. But we didn’t publish a time-table.

Today, with terrorists threatening to at least fragment Iraq, if not take it over, it is a sobering thought that Barack Obama and his key advis-ers have a track record of having been wrong about Iraq and other foreign pol-icy issues for years, going back before they took of-fice -- and no track record of learning from their mis-takes.

Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institu-tion, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www.tsowell.com. To find out more about Thomas Sowell and read features by other Creators Syndicate columnists and cartoonists, visit the Cre-ators Syndicate Web page at www.creators.com.

just in the waves of refugees and foreign Islamic fighters but in the form of ISIS ter-rorists seizing key Iraqi cit-ies and marching on Bagh-dad until they hit the fire-wall of the Shiite regions. The Al-Malaki government in Iraq has willfully mar-ginalized Sunnis making dangerous enemies.

Now as Iraq’s government teeters, and in lieu of a seri-ous American counterbal-ance, the Islamic Republic of Iran prepares to fill the power vacuum. Simply stated the Shiite Iraqi rulers are more than comfortable with their co-religionists in Iran.

The ISIS has tragically distinguished itself as a ter-rorist force prompting UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to decry the “deeply disturbing” reports of mass executions in the northern city of Mosul. Furthermore, ISIS has targeted Iraq’s ancient Christian minor-ity, rooted in the Nineveh province.

British Prime Minister Da-vid Cameron warned of the threat “if an extremist Isla-mist regime” comes to power in Iraq. He said that as well as trying to seize Iraqi ter-ritory, ISIS elements “are also planning to attack us here at home in the United Kingdom. “ Over 2,000 Eu-ropeans, 400 of them UK

nationals, are combatants in Syria and Iraq.

President Barack Obama, given his longtime detached ambivalence towards Iraq, appears to be squandering the American, blood, sac-rifice and treasure pains-takingly invested to stabi-lize Iraq in the first place. Remember the successful U.S. military surge? Tragi-cally the more than 4,400 Americans killed in action and 32,000 wounded? Is this for naught?

Now faced with few good options, and an expanding geopolitical crisis and hu-manitarian tragedy, Presi-dent Obama goes golfing. We don’t need boots on the ground but the U.S. should use decisive airstrikes on the exposed ISIS columns threatening Baghdad, not to save the venal Al-Malaki but to equalize the fight and restore U.S. credibility.

Former Vice President Richard Cheney in a Wall St. Journal commentary wrote scathingly, “Rarely has a U.S. President been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.”

John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He is the author of Divided Dyna-mism The Diplomacy of Separated Nations; Germany, Korea, China (2014).
