Our flight left Boston at 10pm and by 1pm we were riding the high speed train the TVG away from the Paris-Charles de Gualle airport We picked up our red Renault diesel economy car at the train station in Lyon just after 3pm Kris followed the rental agencies directions and gave me orders that sur-prisingly led us out of Francersquos third largest city unharmed We arrived at our friendrsquos campsite in Valreas by 6pm

Phew we made it to the south of France in time for supper Paris is 6 hours ahead of Boston I managed a solid 5 hours of sleep on the plane and a quick nap on the train We werenrsquot overtired and we managed to avoid the negative effects of jet-lag

After a simple supper of cheeses meats and bread our friends surprised us

cycLing And FUn in FrAnce - vineyArds to moUntAins

by supplying bicycles for us to ride Kris claimed Silvirsquos very nice second bicycle and I was happy to have her mountain bike Dieter put our ped-als on the cranks and we were ready to ride in the morning

The weather in Europe has been a lot like ours rainy Our friends fol-low the sunshine and

since it is not peak holi-day season they have no trouble finding nice campgrounds surround-ed by vineyards and rose bushes Since they did not tell us where wersquod meet until the day we left we did not have any room reservations But no wor-ries they found a BampB just 3 miles away in town

Yours Truly and Kris happy to be in Nyon France We rode our bicycles over the Pont Roman that has been in use for 600 years and cars are permitted to cross the bridge

The DifferenceTo The Editor

The first time I voted I did so as an Independent I wasnrsquot quite a Democrat and not rich so didnrsquot think I could be a Repub-lican I later registered as a Libertarian until I learned I couldnrsquot vote in the primary in the state I was living

I am now a registered Re-publican but have a small ldquolrdquo libertarian philosophy In exploring groups like Democrats Republicans tea party liberals and occupiers they seem to want one to ldquodo it their wayrdquo They know whatrsquos best and if they donrsquot like something someone else shouldnrsquot do it or have it either

I would like more people to be libertarian but ques-tioned whether libertarian-ism is the right way I find this to be the difference about libertarianism vs other groups Libertarians donrsquot seem to be interested in people ldquodoing it their wayrdquo they seem to be in-terested in all having the right to ldquodo it their wayrdquo as long as it harms no one else

Ayotte AWOL on Amnesty IssueTo the Editor

Well it didnrsquot take long for Senator Kelly Ayotte to forget the promises she made about Amnesty when she ran for office only to join the Republican Estab-

lishment once she got to Washington I do seem to remember her buddy John McCain campaigning for her She has had a chance to align herself with true conservatives in the Sen-ate but chooses to join the establishment politicians who are responsible for so many election losses for the Republicans Does she wish to support these los-ers or do whatrsquos right for her own childrenrsquos future and the future of our great nation

An appropriate pledge for her to recite would be as follows

ldquoI pledge allegiance to John McCain and the Lind-sey Grahams of America And to one party under the progressives with in-difference and contempt for those who sent me hererdquo

Shame on you Sena-tor Ayotte We now know where you really stand and how easily you can be swayed just to be part of the club Whatrsquos next a switch on gun control

Deafening SilenceTo the Editor

For most Americans the death of a child is the most tragic event imagin-able resulting in life long mourning for a family In the last few months the media has focused on the terrible Sandy Hook mur-ders whose victims were mainly children and on the eight year old victim

of the Boston Marathon bombings More recently we have been saddened by the deaths of many chil-dren resulting from the Oklahoma tornadoes and the news is peppered with words such a ldquounimagina-ble horrorrdquo People saving children are described as ldquoheroicrdquo

In a strange parallel world although the media obsesses on the murder of children through ter-rorism and those killed through natural events there is deafening silence on the murder of children born alive in abortion This amoral irrational world has been carefully con-structed over several de-cades with great skill Part of the strategy involves the use of another lexicon Instead of ldquo baby murderrdquo or even ldquoabortionrdquo it uses ldquochoicerdquo ldquowomenrsquos healthrdquo and ldquoreproductive free-domrdquo These euphemisms are all carefully designed to obscure a dark reality an amoral irrational world In this weird parallel uni-verse the same killing of a baby that outrages us and results in prosecu-tion is transformed into a ldquomedical Procedurerdquo constitutional ldquoright to chooserdquo fiercely defended by a multi billion dollar tax funded industry

Interestingly Marga-ret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics which supports the exter-mination of ldquoundesirablesrdquo including ldquonegroesrdquo ldquothe feeble minded ldquoand those with congenital abnor-

5THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

There is this scene in the movie ldquoJawsrdquo where when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach everyone with anything that floats takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty

Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to cap-ture it the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters armed with fishing poles spears and rifles try to outdo the others

Boats are going every which way no one is giving an inch safety is ignored and near misses and ac-cidents occur with regu-larity

The only thing missing is the shark and the ldquodum-dum-dum-dumrdquo sound-rack

I havenrsquot seen ldquoJawsrdquo for awhile but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and looking out onto Lake Winnipesau-kee on a sunny summer weekend

There are usually dozens of boats going every which way jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters look-ing for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer less crowded waters

It is to me one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region

There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors

Inside the local super-markets there is always a bigger crowd than usual Business is good

As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts ndash are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesauke as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge ndash I see a pattern

I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not

Shopping carts full of hot dogs hamburger meat rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway Still there could be some locals in this category just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this sum-mer

It is then that I look for the real giveaway Those wearing ldquoI Love New Hamp-shirerdquo and ldquoLake Winnipe-saukeerdquo sweatshirts usu-ally give it away Yoursquoll never see a local with one of those on

I am also great at pick-ing out a good nasally New York accent Long Island being my specialty since that is where I grew up I still have a twinge of it my-self after a few beers but it quickly goes away

I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachu-setts dialects Even Rosetta Stone canrsquot help with this one

Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist Still locals have those as well so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them Irsquod bet money

Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities

I remember all too clear-ly last summer a very dis-turbing scenario A man in the supermarket with no

shirt onThis wasnrsquot a yong guy

but a guy who was at least in his 50s Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness he strolled through the super-market not seeming to care while at the same time set-ting up a sight that will I am sure for years to come haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike

He was for lack o a bet-ter term more frightening than the shark in ldquoJawsrdquo I can only suggest to him and those like himthat you do the rest of us a fa-vor and throw on a ldquoI Love New Hampshirerdquo or ldquoLake Winnipesaukeerdquo sweatshirt the next time if there must be one

Some scenes of summer are more subtle harder to get a seat at the restaurant easier to get a lobster roll Harder to get a tee time easier to find a mini-golf course Easier to find fresh blueberries harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit in case you didnrsquot know)

From a business stand-point summer is a short eight week season From the selfish viewpoint of some locals itrsquos way too long Year round residents are quick to criticize com-plain and give loud sighs when they become frus-trated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months Thatrsquos a true sign of summer as well

Before you know it traffic will diminish attractions will close supermarkets will be quieter and there wonrsquot be much to do

Wait here come the Leaf Peppers

ldquoDum-dum-dum-dumrdquo

Look for Brendanrsquos new book ldquoThe Flatlander Chroniclesrdquo coming this summer Also after a small hiatus his tongue-in-cheek detective serial ldquoThe Case of The Missing Flatland-errdquo will return next week at wwwfoolinnhcom

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

The Uncle Tom card has been played out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Our flight left Boston at 10pm and by 1pm we were riding the high speed train the TVG away from the Paris-Charles de Gualle airport We picked up our red Renault diesel economy car at the train station in Lyon just after 3pm Kris followed the rental agencies directions and gave me orders that sur-prisingly led us out of Francersquos third largest city unharmed We arrived at our friendrsquos campsite in Valreas by 6pm

Phew we made it to the south of France in time for supper Paris is 6 hours ahead of Boston I managed a solid 5 hours of sleep on the plane and a quick nap on the train We werenrsquot overtired and we managed to avoid the negative effects of jet-lag

After a simple supper of cheeses meats and bread our friends surprised us

cycLing And FUn in FrAnce - vineyArds to moUntAins

by supplying bicycles for us to ride Kris claimed Silvirsquos very nice second bicycle and I was happy to have her mountain bike Dieter put our ped-als on the cranks and we were ready to ride in the morning

The weather in Europe has been a lot like ours rainy Our friends fol-low the sunshine and

since it is not peak holi-day season they have no trouble finding nice campgrounds surround-ed by vineyards and rose bushes Since they did not tell us where wersquod meet until the day we left we did not have any room reservations But no wor-ries they found a BampB just 3 miles away in town

Yours Truly and Kris happy to be in Nyon France We rode our bicycles over the Pont Roman that has been in use for 600 years and cars are permitted to cross the bridge

The DifferenceTo The Editor

The first time I voted I did so as an Independent I wasnrsquot quite a Democrat and not rich so didnrsquot think I could be a Repub-lican I later registered as a Libertarian until I learned I couldnrsquot vote in the primary in the state I was living

I am now a registered Re-publican but have a small ldquolrdquo libertarian philosophy In exploring groups like Democrats Republicans tea party liberals and occupiers they seem to want one to ldquodo it their wayrdquo They know whatrsquos best and if they donrsquot like something someone else shouldnrsquot do it or have it either

I would like more people to be libertarian but ques-tioned whether libertarian-ism is the right way I find this to be the difference about libertarianism vs other groups Libertarians donrsquot seem to be interested in people ldquodoing it their wayrdquo they seem to be in-terested in all having the right to ldquodo it their wayrdquo as long as it harms no one else

Ayotte AWOL on Amnesty IssueTo the Editor

Well it didnrsquot take long for Senator Kelly Ayotte to forget the promises she made about Amnesty when she ran for office only to join the Republican Estab-

lishment once she got to Washington I do seem to remember her buddy John McCain campaigning for her She has had a chance to align herself with true conservatives in the Sen-ate but chooses to join the establishment politicians who are responsible for so many election losses for the Republicans Does she wish to support these los-ers or do whatrsquos right for her own childrenrsquos future and the future of our great nation

An appropriate pledge for her to recite would be as follows

ldquoI pledge allegiance to John McCain and the Lind-sey Grahams of America And to one party under the progressives with in-difference and contempt for those who sent me hererdquo

Shame on you Sena-tor Ayotte We now know where you really stand and how easily you can be swayed just to be part of the club Whatrsquos next a switch on gun control

Deafening SilenceTo the Editor

For most Americans the death of a child is the most tragic event imagin-able resulting in life long mourning for a family In the last few months the media has focused on the terrible Sandy Hook mur-ders whose victims were mainly children and on the eight year old victim

of the Boston Marathon bombings More recently we have been saddened by the deaths of many chil-dren resulting from the Oklahoma tornadoes and the news is peppered with words such a ldquounimagina-ble horrorrdquo People saving children are described as ldquoheroicrdquo

In a strange parallel world although the media obsesses on the murder of children through ter-rorism and those killed through natural events there is deafening silence on the murder of children born alive in abortion This amoral irrational world has been carefully con-structed over several de-cades with great skill Part of the strategy involves the use of another lexicon Instead of ldquo baby murderrdquo or even ldquoabortionrdquo it uses ldquochoicerdquo ldquowomenrsquos healthrdquo and ldquoreproductive free-domrdquo These euphemisms are all carefully designed to obscure a dark reality an amoral irrational world In this weird parallel uni-verse the same killing of a baby that outrages us and results in prosecu-tion is transformed into a ldquomedical Procedurerdquo constitutional ldquoright to chooserdquo fiercely defended by a multi billion dollar tax funded industry

Interestingly Marga-ret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics which supports the exter-mination of ldquoundesirablesrdquo including ldquonegroesrdquo ldquothe feeble minded ldquoand those with congenital abnor-

5THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

There is this scene in the movie ldquoJawsrdquo where when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach everyone with anything that floats takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty

Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to cap-ture it the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters armed with fishing poles spears and rifles try to outdo the others

Boats are going every which way no one is giving an inch safety is ignored and near misses and ac-cidents occur with regu-larity

The only thing missing is the shark and the ldquodum-dum-dum-dumrdquo sound-rack

I havenrsquot seen ldquoJawsrdquo for awhile but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and looking out onto Lake Winnipesau-kee on a sunny summer weekend

There are usually dozens of boats going every which way jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters look-ing for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer less crowded waters

It is to me one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region

There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors

Inside the local super-markets there is always a bigger crowd than usual Business is good

As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts ndash are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesauke as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge ndash I see a pattern

I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not

Shopping carts full of hot dogs hamburger meat rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway Still there could be some locals in this category just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this sum-mer

It is then that I look for the real giveaway Those wearing ldquoI Love New Hamp-shirerdquo and ldquoLake Winnipe-saukeerdquo sweatshirts usu-ally give it away Yoursquoll never see a local with one of those on

I am also great at pick-ing out a good nasally New York accent Long Island being my specialty since that is where I grew up I still have a twinge of it my-self after a few beers but it quickly goes away

I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachu-setts dialects Even Rosetta Stone canrsquot help with this one

Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist Still locals have those as well so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them Irsquod bet money

Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities

I remember all too clear-ly last summer a very dis-turbing scenario A man in the supermarket with no

shirt onThis wasnrsquot a yong guy

but a guy who was at least in his 50s Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness he strolled through the super-market not seeming to care while at the same time set-ting up a sight that will I am sure for years to come haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike

He was for lack o a bet-ter term more frightening than the shark in ldquoJawsrdquo I can only suggest to him and those like himthat you do the rest of us a fa-vor and throw on a ldquoI Love New Hampshirerdquo or ldquoLake Winnipesaukeerdquo sweatshirt the next time if there must be one

Some scenes of summer are more subtle harder to get a seat at the restaurant easier to get a lobster roll Harder to get a tee time easier to find a mini-golf course Easier to find fresh blueberries harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit in case you didnrsquot know)

From a business stand-point summer is a short eight week season From the selfish viewpoint of some locals itrsquos way too long Year round residents are quick to criticize com-plain and give loud sighs when they become frus-trated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months Thatrsquos a true sign of summer as well

Before you know it traffic will diminish attractions will close supermarkets will be quieter and there wonrsquot be much to do

Wait here come the Leaf Peppers

ldquoDum-dum-dum-dumrdquo

Look for Brendanrsquos new book ldquoThe Flatlander Chroniclesrdquo coming this summer Also after a small hiatus his tongue-in-cheek detective serial ldquoThe Case of The Missing Flatland-errdquo will return next week at wwwfoolinnhcom

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

Just for your records here

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

ldquoIf you have chickens or livestock plug a radio in near the barnrdquo Comeau adds ldquoA little bit of noise can help keep predators awayrdquo

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Our flight left Boston at 10pm and by 1pm we were riding the high speed train the TVG away from the Paris-Charles de Gualle airport We picked up our red Renault diesel economy car at the train station in Lyon just after 3pm Kris followed the rental agencies directions and gave me orders that sur-prisingly led us out of Francersquos third largest city unharmed We arrived at our friendrsquos campsite in Valreas by 6pm

Phew we made it to the south of France in time for supper Paris is 6 hours ahead of Boston I managed a solid 5 hours of sleep on the plane and a quick nap on the train We werenrsquot overtired and we managed to avoid the negative effects of jet-lag

After a simple supper of cheeses meats and bread our friends surprised us

cycLing And FUn in FrAnce - vineyArds to moUntAins

by supplying bicycles for us to ride Kris claimed Silvirsquos very nice second bicycle and I was happy to have her mountain bike Dieter put our ped-als on the cranks and we were ready to ride in the morning

The weather in Europe has been a lot like ours rainy Our friends fol-low the sunshine and

since it is not peak holi-day season they have no trouble finding nice campgrounds surround-ed by vineyards and rose bushes Since they did not tell us where wersquod meet until the day we left we did not have any room reservations But no wor-ries they found a BampB just 3 miles away in town

Yours Truly and Kris happy to be in Nyon France We rode our bicycles over the Pont Roman that has been in use for 600 years and cars are permitted to cross the bridge

The DifferenceTo The Editor

The first time I voted I did so as an Independent I wasnrsquot quite a Democrat and not rich so didnrsquot think I could be a Repub-lican I later registered as a Libertarian until I learned I couldnrsquot vote in the primary in the state I was living

I am now a registered Re-publican but have a small ldquolrdquo libertarian philosophy In exploring groups like Democrats Republicans tea party liberals and occupiers they seem to want one to ldquodo it their wayrdquo They know whatrsquos best and if they donrsquot like something someone else shouldnrsquot do it or have it either

I would like more people to be libertarian but ques-tioned whether libertarian-ism is the right way I find this to be the difference about libertarianism vs other groups Libertarians donrsquot seem to be interested in people ldquodoing it their wayrdquo they seem to be in-terested in all having the right to ldquodo it their wayrdquo as long as it harms no one else

Ayotte AWOL on Amnesty IssueTo the Editor

Well it didnrsquot take long for Senator Kelly Ayotte to forget the promises she made about Amnesty when she ran for office only to join the Republican Estab-

lishment once she got to Washington I do seem to remember her buddy John McCain campaigning for her She has had a chance to align herself with true conservatives in the Sen-ate but chooses to join the establishment politicians who are responsible for so many election losses for the Republicans Does she wish to support these los-ers or do whatrsquos right for her own childrenrsquos future and the future of our great nation

An appropriate pledge for her to recite would be as follows

ldquoI pledge allegiance to John McCain and the Lind-sey Grahams of America And to one party under the progressives with in-difference and contempt for those who sent me hererdquo

Shame on you Sena-tor Ayotte We now know where you really stand and how easily you can be swayed just to be part of the club Whatrsquos next a switch on gun control

Deafening SilenceTo the Editor

For most Americans the death of a child is the most tragic event imagin-able resulting in life long mourning for a family In the last few months the media has focused on the terrible Sandy Hook mur-ders whose victims were mainly children and on the eight year old victim

of the Boston Marathon bombings More recently we have been saddened by the deaths of many chil-dren resulting from the Oklahoma tornadoes and the news is peppered with words such a ldquounimagina-ble horrorrdquo People saving children are described as ldquoheroicrdquo

In a strange parallel world although the media obsesses on the murder of children through ter-rorism and those killed through natural events there is deafening silence on the murder of children born alive in abortion This amoral irrational world has been carefully con-structed over several de-cades with great skill Part of the strategy involves the use of another lexicon Instead of ldquo baby murderrdquo or even ldquoabortionrdquo it uses ldquochoicerdquo ldquowomenrsquos healthrdquo and ldquoreproductive free-domrdquo These euphemisms are all carefully designed to obscure a dark reality an amoral irrational world In this weird parallel uni-verse the same killing of a baby that outrages us and results in prosecu-tion is transformed into a ldquomedical Procedurerdquo constitutional ldquoright to chooserdquo fiercely defended by a multi billion dollar tax funded industry

Interestingly Marga-ret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics which supports the exter-mination of ldquoundesirablesrdquo including ldquonegroesrdquo ldquothe feeble minded ldquoand those with congenital abnor-

5THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

There is this scene in the movie ldquoJawsrdquo where when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach everyone with anything that floats takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty

Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to cap-ture it the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters armed with fishing poles spears and rifles try to outdo the others

Boats are going every which way no one is giving an inch safety is ignored and near misses and ac-cidents occur with regu-larity

The only thing missing is the shark and the ldquodum-dum-dum-dumrdquo sound-rack

I havenrsquot seen ldquoJawsrdquo for awhile but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and looking out onto Lake Winnipesau-kee on a sunny summer weekend

There are usually dozens of boats going every which way jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters look-ing for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer less crowded waters

It is to me one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region

There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors

Inside the local super-markets there is always a bigger crowd than usual Business is good

As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts ndash are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesauke as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge ndash I see a pattern

I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not

Shopping carts full of hot dogs hamburger meat rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway Still there could be some locals in this category just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this sum-mer

It is then that I look for the real giveaway Those wearing ldquoI Love New Hamp-shirerdquo and ldquoLake Winnipe-saukeerdquo sweatshirts usu-ally give it away Yoursquoll never see a local with one of those on

I am also great at pick-ing out a good nasally New York accent Long Island being my specialty since that is where I grew up I still have a twinge of it my-self after a few beers but it quickly goes away

I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachu-setts dialects Even Rosetta Stone canrsquot help with this one

Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist Still locals have those as well so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them Irsquod bet money

Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities

I remember all too clear-ly last summer a very dis-turbing scenario A man in the supermarket with no

shirt onThis wasnrsquot a yong guy

but a guy who was at least in his 50s Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness he strolled through the super-market not seeming to care while at the same time set-ting up a sight that will I am sure for years to come haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike

He was for lack o a bet-ter term more frightening than the shark in ldquoJawsrdquo I can only suggest to him and those like himthat you do the rest of us a fa-vor and throw on a ldquoI Love New Hampshirerdquo or ldquoLake Winnipesaukeerdquo sweatshirt the next time if there must be one

Some scenes of summer are more subtle harder to get a seat at the restaurant easier to get a lobster roll Harder to get a tee time easier to find a mini-golf course Easier to find fresh blueberries harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit in case you didnrsquot know)

From a business stand-point summer is a short eight week season From the selfish viewpoint of some locals itrsquos way too long Year round residents are quick to criticize com-plain and give loud sighs when they become frus-trated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months Thatrsquos a true sign of summer as well

Before you know it traffic will diminish attractions will close supermarkets will be quieter and there wonrsquot be much to do

Wait here come the Leaf Peppers

ldquoDum-dum-dum-dumrdquo

Look for Brendanrsquos new book ldquoThe Flatlander Chroniclesrdquo coming this summer Also after a small hiatus his tongue-in-cheek detective serial ldquoThe Case of The Missing Flatland-errdquo will return next week at wwwfoolinnhcom

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

The DifferenceTo The Editor

The first time I voted I did so as an Independent I wasnrsquot quite a Democrat and not rich so didnrsquot think I could be a Repub-lican I later registered as a Libertarian until I learned I couldnrsquot vote in the primary in the state I was living

I am now a registered Re-publican but have a small ldquolrdquo libertarian philosophy In exploring groups like Democrats Republicans tea party liberals and occupiers they seem to want one to ldquodo it their wayrdquo They know whatrsquos best and if they donrsquot like something someone else shouldnrsquot do it or have it either

I would like more people to be libertarian but ques-tioned whether libertarian-ism is the right way I find this to be the difference about libertarianism vs other groups Libertarians donrsquot seem to be interested in people ldquodoing it their wayrdquo they seem to be in-terested in all having the right to ldquodo it their wayrdquo as long as it harms no one else

Ayotte AWOL on Amnesty IssueTo the Editor

Well it didnrsquot take long for Senator Kelly Ayotte to forget the promises she made about Amnesty when she ran for office only to join the Republican Estab-

lishment once she got to Washington I do seem to remember her buddy John McCain campaigning for her She has had a chance to align herself with true conservatives in the Sen-ate but chooses to join the establishment politicians who are responsible for so many election losses for the Republicans Does she wish to support these los-ers or do whatrsquos right for her own childrenrsquos future and the future of our great nation

An appropriate pledge for her to recite would be as follows

ldquoI pledge allegiance to John McCain and the Lind-sey Grahams of America And to one party under the progressives with in-difference and contempt for those who sent me hererdquo

Shame on you Sena-tor Ayotte We now know where you really stand and how easily you can be swayed just to be part of the club Whatrsquos next a switch on gun control

Deafening SilenceTo the Editor

For most Americans the death of a child is the most tragic event imagin-able resulting in life long mourning for a family In the last few months the media has focused on the terrible Sandy Hook mur-ders whose victims were mainly children and on the eight year old victim

of the Boston Marathon bombings More recently we have been saddened by the deaths of many chil-dren resulting from the Oklahoma tornadoes and the news is peppered with words such a ldquounimagina-ble horrorrdquo People saving children are described as ldquoheroicrdquo

In a strange parallel world although the media obsesses on the murder of children through ter-rorism and those killed through natural events there is deafening silence on the murder of children born alive in abortion This amoral irrational world has been carefully con-structed over several de-cades with great skill Part of the strategy involves the use of another lexicon Instead of ldquo baby murderrdquo or even ldquoabortionrdquo it uses ldquochoicerdquo ldquowomenrsquos healthrdquo and ldquoreproductive free-domrdquo These euphemisms are all carefully designed to obscure a dark reality an amoral irrational world In this weird parallel uni-verse the same killing of a baby that outrages us and results in prosecu-tion is transformed into a ldquomedical Procedurerdquo constitutional ldquoright to chooserdquo fiercely defended by a multi billion dollar tax funded industry

Interestingly Marga-ret Sanger who founded Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics which supports the exter-mination of ldquoundesirablesrdquo including ldquonegroesrdquo ldquothe feeble minded ldquoand those with congenital abnor-

5THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

There is this scene in the movie ldquoJawsrdquo where when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach everyone with anything that floats takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty

Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to cap-ture it the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters armed with fishing poles spears and rifles try to outdo the others

Boats are going every which way no one is giving an inch safety is ignored and near misses and ac-cidents occur with regu-larity

The only thing missing is the shark and the ldquodum-dum-dum-dumrdquo sound-rack

I havenrsquot seen ldquoJawsrdquo for awhile but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and looking out onto Lake Winnipesau-kee on a sunny summer weekend

There are usually dozens of boats going every which way jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters look-ing for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer less crowded waters

It is to me one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region

There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors

Inside the local super-markets there is always a bigger crowd than usual Business is good

As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts ndash are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesauke as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge ndash I see a pattern

I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not

Shopping carts full of hot dogs hamburger meat rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway Still there could be some locals in this category just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this sum-mer

It is then that I look for the real giveaway Those wearing ldquoI Love New Hamp-shirerdquo and ldquoLake Winnipe-saukeerdquo sweatshirts usu-ally give it away Yoursquoll never see a local with one of those on

I am also great at pick-ing out a good nasally New York accent Long Island being my specialty since that is where I grew up I still have a twinge of it my-self after a few beers but it quickly goes away

I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachu-setts dialects Even Rosetta Stone canrsquot help with this one

Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist Still locals have those as well so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them Irsquod bet money

Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities

I remember all too clear-ly last summer a very dis-turbing scenario A man in the supermarket with no

shirt onThis wasnrsquot a yong guy

but a guy who was at least in his 50s Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness he strolled through the super-market not seeming to care while at the same time set-ting up a sight that will I am sure for years to come haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike

He was for lack o a bet-ter term more frightening than the shark in ldquoJawsrdquo I can only suggest to him and those like himthat you do the rest of us a fa-vor and throw on a ldquoI Love New Hampshirerdquo or ldquoLake Winnipesaukeerdquo sweatshirt the next time if there must be one

Some scenes of summer are more subtle harder to get a seat at the restaurant easier to get a lobster roll Harder to get a tee time easier to find a mini-golf course Easier to find fresh blueberries harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit in case you didnrsquot know)

From a business stand-point summer is a short eight week season From the selfish viewpoint of some locals itrsquos way too long Year round residents are quick to criticize com-plain and give loud sighs when they become frus-trated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months Thatrsquos a true sign of summer as well

Before you know it traffic will diminish attractions will close supermarkets will be quieter and there wonrsquot be much to do

Wait here come the Leaf Peppers

ldquoDum-dum-dum-dumrdquo

Look for Brendanrsquos new book ldquoThe Flatlander Chroniclesrdquo coming this summer Also after a small hiatus his tongue-in-cheek detective serial ldquoThe Case of The Missing Flatland-errdquo will return next week at wwwfoolinnhcom

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

5THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

There is this scene in the movie ldquoJawsrdquo where when the residents of Amity are told there will be a $10000 reward to anyone who kills the Great White Shark that has been terrorizing the beach everyone with anything that floats takes to the water in an attempt to capture the bounty

Since there is only one Great White and dozens of people looking to cap-ture it the waters become a landscape of confusion and chaos as the boaters armed with fishing poles spears and rifles try to outdo the others

Boats are going every which way no one is giving an inch safety is ignored and near misses and ac-cidents occur with regu-larity

The only thing missing is the shark and the ldquodum-dum-dum-dumrdquo sound-rack

I havenrsquot seen ldquoJawsrdquo for awhile but I do see a smaller version of this scene on a regular basis on a sunny summer afternoon walking across the Weirs Beach bridge and looking out onto Lake Winnipesau-kee on a sunny summer weekend

There are usually dozens of boats going every which way jet skis looking for holes in between and those experienced boaters look-ing for a path through the madness to get clear and out into safer less crowded waters

It is to me one of the first real scenes of summer here in the Lakes Region

There are other scenes showing that summer is fully ensconced and not all of them are outdoors

Inside the local super-markets there is always a bigger crowd than usual Business is good

As I wend my way through the chaotic movement of shopping carts ndash are these the same folks that I will spy later out on the water of Winnipesauke as I walk across the Weirs Beach bridge ndash I see a pattern

I play a game in my head to see who is on vacation and who is not

Shopping carts full of hot dogs hamburger meat rolls and beer are always a dead giveaway Still there could be some locals in this category just preparing for one of the few barbecues they will have this sum-mer

It is then that I look for the real giveaway Those wearing ldquoI Love New Hamp-shirerdquo and ldquoLake Winnipe-saukeerdquo sweatshirts usu-ally give it away Yoursquoll never see a local with one of those on

I am also great at pick-ing out a good nasally New York accent Long Island being my specialty since that is where I grew up I still have a twinge of it my-self after a few beers but it quickly goes away

I am also starting to get the hang of distinguishing a South Boston tongue as well as other Massachu-setts dialects Even Rosetta Stone canrsquot help with this one

Brand new sneakers are usually a sure giveaway to a tourist Still locals have those as well so if they are combined with a pair of new shorts with the creases still in them Irsquod bet money

Vacationers also have some embarrassing ways to give up their identities

I remember all too clear-ly last summer a very dis-turbing scenario A man in the supermarket with no

shirt onThis wasnrsquot a yong guy

but a guy who was at least in his 50s Being softer than he thought he was around the middle and hairier than anyone had the right to witness he strolled through the super-market not seeming to care while at the same time set-ting up a sight that will I am sure for years to come haunt the dreams of young children and adults alike

He was for lack o a bet-ter term more frightening than the shark in ldquoJawsrdquo I can only suggest to him and those like himthat you do the rest of us a fa-vor and throw on a ldquoI Love New Hampshirerdquo or ldquoLake Winnipesaukeerdquo sweatshirt the next time if there must be one

Some scenes of summer are more subtle harder to get a seat at the restaurant easier to get a lobster roll Harder to get a tee time easier to find a mini-golf course Easier to find fresh blueberries harder to find a pumpkin (our state fruit in case you didnrsquot know)

From a business stand-point summer is a short eight week season From the selfish viewpoint of some locals itrsquos way too long Year round residents are quick to criticize com-plain and give loud sighs when they become frus-trated as their way of life is interrupted for a couple of months Thatrsquos a true sign of summer as well

Before you know it traffic will diminish attractions will close supermarkets will be quieter and there wonrsquot be much to do

Wait here come the Leaf Peppers

ldquoDum-dum-dum-dumrdquo

Look for Brendanrsquos new book ldquoThe Flatlander Chroniclesrdquo coming this summer Also after a small hiatus his tongue-in-cheek detective serial ldquoThe Case of The Missing Flatland-errdquo will return next week at wwwfoolinnhcom

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

8 THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

WASHINGTON DC JUNE 13-- Over 10000 of us are here attending a Tea Party Patriots ldquoAudit the IRSrdquo Rally as well as a press conference designed to truly open debate to We the People about proposed immigra-tion ldquoreformrdquo

Three patriots from Maine and I traveled here on the overnight train from Boston At South Station representatives of a 100-strong liberty group in central Mass showed up to give us a rousing send off Un-able to take time off from their jobs they armed us with extra signs and call sheets In their spare time these patriots are ca l l ing key senators around the US urging them to kill Senate Bill 744 (aka Amnesty II)

Signs here reflect a building frustration with a rogue central govern-ment unresponsive to the will of the people As Big Government contin-ues to strangle individual liberty and free enter-prise initiative black humor abounds Some here joke that they prefer congressional gridlock to passage of another mas-sive horror show of a bill that was created behind closed doors by a ldquoGang of 8rdquo A nearby sign says it all ldquoAmericans Want Border Control US Senate Wants A Banana Republicrdquo

S ign messages are more biting than others Irsquove seen during previ-ous trips here to protest burgeoning and reckless government One sign decorated with an im-age of the capital build-ing proclaims ldquoHome of Tyrannyrdquo The words ldquoDistrict of Cronyismrdquo loom out on another The sentiment ldquoLet Lois Lerh-ner Line Dance In Jailrdquo attests to citizen disgust with unelected officials ruling over them with Stalin-like tactics

Many in this crowd re-call promises made in the 1980rsquos amnesty deal Wersquore still waiting for the federal government to build the entire bor-der fence and police it Speakers today ask ldquoDo you believe they will se-cure it this timerdquo The crowd roars ldquoNOrdquo

A nearby sign message cuts to the heart of the matter for many of us here ldquoAmnesty = Cheap Votes + Cheap Laborrdquo We the People donrsquot buy that Amnesty II is good for whatrsquos left of our mid-dle class ldquoFollow the moneyrdquo are the words on many lipsrdquo

On June 18 Senator Jeff Sessions pointed out the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) re-port claiming passage of the immigration bill would cut the deficit was based on only a 10-year budget window thus not reflecting costs expected to kick in later A 40-year budget window he not-ed would reveal higher

actual costs Sessions sounded an alarm we share ldquoThis bill guar-antees three things am-nesty increased welfare costs and lower wages for the US workforce It would be the biggest set-back for poor and middle class Americans of any legislation Congress has considered in decadesrdquo

In 21st-century Amer-ica speaking the truth is a high calling Sena-tors such as Sessions Rand Paul Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have earned our respect by denouncing policies that are destruc-tive to We the People At todayrsquos events ap-plause spikes when these individuals as well as Representatives Steve King Louis Gohmert and Michelle Bachmann ap-proach the microphone

The fierce hunger citi-zen patriots have for real leaders -- those of convic-tion -- is measurable here today As author and talk show host Glenn Beck

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Meet Ryan Patrick Win-kler Hersquos a 37-year-old liberal Minne-sota state leg-islator with a BA in history from Harvard University and a JD from the University of

Minnesota Law School Hersquos also a coward a bigot a liar and a textbook example of plantation progressivism

On Tuesday Winkler took to Twitter to rant about the Su-preme Courtrsquos decision to strike down an onerous section of the Voting Rights Act The 5-4 ruling overturned an unconstitutional requirement that states win fed-eral preclearance approval of any changes to their election laws and procedures Winkler fumed ldquoVRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomasrdquo

This Ivy League-trained public of-ficial and attorney relied on smug bigotry to make his case against a Supreme Court justice who hap-pens to be black ldquoUncle Thomasrdquo wasnrsquot a typo Denigration was the goal not an accident It was a knowing deliberate smear

After being called out by conser-vative social media users for his cheap attack on Clarence Thomas Winkler then revealed his true color yellow He deleted the tweet (captured for posterity at my Twit-ter curation site twitchycom) and pleaded ignorance

ldquoI did not understand lsquoUncle Tomrsquo as a racist term and there seems to be some debate about it I do apologize for it howeverrdquo he sniveled ldquoI didnrsquot think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more con-

cerned about racial discrimination than colleaguesrdquo he protested

Holding a black man to a differ-ent intellectual standard based on his skin color Accusing a non-white conservative of collectivist race traitorism Employing one of the most infamous overused epithets against minority conser-vatives in the Democratic lexicon ldquoApologizingrdquo but disclaiming re-sponsibility Sorry that he got caught

Just another day at the left-wing racist office

Rabid liberal elitists expect and demand that we swallow their left-wing political orthodoxy whole and never question When we donrsquot yield their racist and sexist dia-tribes against us are unmatched My IQ free will skin color eye shape name authenticity and integrity have been routinely ridi-culed or questioned for more than two decades because I happen to be an unapologetic brown female free-market conservative My Twit-ter account biography jokingly includes the moniker ldquoOriental Auntie-Tomrdquo -- just one of thou-sands of slurs hurled at me by libs allergic to diversity of thought -- for a reason Itrsquos a way to hold up an unflinching mirror at the holier-than-thou NoH8 haters and laugh

We conservatives ldquoof colorrdquo are way past anger about the Uncle TomAunt Tomasina attacks Wersquore reviled by the left for our ldquobetrayalrdquo of our supposed tribes -- accused of being Uncle Toms Aunt Tomasinas House Nig-gas puppets of the White Man Oreos Sambos lawn jockeys coconuts bananas sellouts and whores This is how the leftrsquos racial and ethnic tribalists have always rolled But their insults are not bullets They are badges of honor

From The State House House Bill Mania -

Common Sense AnyoneWednesday

June 26 was a busy day at our State House as the House voted on dozens of bills which the Senate sent back to the House via Com-mittees of Con-ference Within this plethora of

legislation the House of Rep-resentatives had to vote on the important NH budget bills HB 1-A and HB 2-FN-A-L

HB 1 dealt with making ap-propriations for the expenses of certain departments of the state for fiscal years ending June 30 2014 and June 30 2015 HB 2 was relative to state fees funds revenues and expenditures (This is known as the trailer bill and supports HB 1 and also makes statutory revisions for the

budget bill)Now this is my first ldquobudget

processrdquo in our State House and it has been an eye-opening expe-rience to say the least And I ab-solutely cannot claim to be 100 up to snuff about all this but ba-sically from a Republican point of view this budget could have been MUCH worse The House (with a Democratic majority) passed a number of fees and taxes includ-ing a monster 65 increase with the gas tax this session Fortu-nately the Republican-majority Senate killed all new taxes and fees for this budget (Yes) Unfor-tunately the budget is also up 65 going from 102 billion to 107 billion For sure I can tell you most families did not receive any increase in their revenues For a small government gal this forced me to cast my vote on HB 1 - NAY Spending in this bill goes in the wrong direction even

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

ldquoIf you have chickens or livestock plug a radio in near the barnrdquo Comeau adds ldquoA little bit of noise can help keep predators awayrdquo

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

thoughts on the passing scene

E d m u n d Burke sa id ldquoThere is no safety for hon-est men but by believing all possible evil of

evil menrdquo Evil men do not always snarl

Some smile charmingly Those are the most dangerous If you donrsquot think the mainstream me-dia slants the news keep track of how often they tell you that the Arctic ice pack is shrinking and how seldom they tell you that the Antarctic ice pack is expanding The latter news would not fit the ldquoglobal warmingrdquo scenario that so many in the media are promot-ing

Someone has referred to Vice President Biden as President Obamarsquos ldquoimpeachment insur-ancerdquo Even critics who are totally opposed to Barack Obamarsquos poli-cies do not want anything to cut short his presidency with Joe

Biden as his successorPeople who refuse to accept un-

pleasant truths have no right to complain about politicians who lie to them What other kind of can-didates would such people elect

Given the shortage of articulate Republican leaders it will be a real loss -- to the country not just to the Republicans -- if Senator Marco Rubio discredits himself early in his career by supporting ldquocomprehensiverdquo immigration re-form that amounts to just another amnesty with false promises to secure the border

Ever since I learned as a teen-ager that the ldquoSaturday Evening Postrdquo magazine was actually pub-lished on Wednesday mornings I have been very skeptical about words ldquoGun controlrdquo laws do not control guns ldquorent controlrdquo laws do not control rent and govern-ment ldquostimulusrdquo spending does not stimulate the economy

It is hard to think of two people with more different personalities than New Yorkrsquos Mayor Michael Bloomberg and President Barack Obama But they are soul mates

P R A G U E mdashA r r i v i n g i n Praguersquos Vaclav Havel airport one is imme-diately swept into the pres-ent not just a refurbished terminal but a new look where people

actually smile immigration of-ficials donrsquot grimace and police speed about on segways The post-communist transformation emerges wider in driving from the airport into Prague This former Ladaland of exhaust belching Russian cars and retro-Skodas and is now congested traffic where streetcar-trams Mercedes new Skodas and Audis vie for space and place

Welcome to Golden Prague now nearly a quarter century since its liberation from the Soviet stran-glehold in 1989

Having been to the Czech Re-public just after the opening and once later the changes are now stunningly obvious Praguersquos magnificent baroque and Art Nouveau architecture once grey and worn has been scrubbed and buffed After all pollution slip-shod new construction and sloppy standards were all an intrinsic part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic as much as the govern-mentrsquos unswerving allegiance to Big Brother back in Moscow

Today Praguersquos landmark build-ings mostly glisten churches are repaired and open and the magnificent CastleSt Vitas Ca-thedral which overlooks the city helps evoke the name Golden Prague New shops and restau-rants abound Fashion stores seen in New York Paris and Los Angeles all have their outlets in Prague though commercialization in some places such as the central Wesnsclaus Square sadly borders on garish while most other parts of the historic Czech capital pres-ent architectural gems

So has the Czech Republic re-joined history as I once confident-ly postulated twenty years ago In other words have the Czechs (former Czechoslovakia until the velvet divorce in 1993) regained the positions they once had until 1938 when a prosperous and po-litically democratic country was

prAgUersquos goLden hAzefirst ldquoannexedrdquo by Nazi Germany and later ldquoliberatedrdquo by the Sovi-ets Has one of Europersquos more advanced countries before WWII with developed auto aviation and machine tool industries regained its position and place in the world of the 21st century Largely so for the Czech Republicrsquos 105 mil-lion people

Following the 1989 ldquovelvet revo-lutionrdquo where dissident playwright Vaclav Havel brought democracy to old Czechoslovakia the politi-cal discourse at first experienced a gush of freedom and liberty Naturally politics matured and governments of the center right and center left have since ebbed and flowed through free elections Sadly recent political develop-ments have lapsed into laugh-able and lamentable corruption scandals worthy of a P J OrsquoRourke novel

Significantly both the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well are respected members of the Euro-pean Union (EU) and NATO thus offering the Prague government the ultimate insurance policy membership in a democratic Eu-rope as well as security guar-anteed by the Atlantic Alliance Who would have imagined that this once stalwart member of the old Soviet bloc would today be a staunch friend of the USA and a supporter of global human rights from Cuba to Tibet

Economically the Czech Repub-lic has prospered under freedom with one of Central Europersquos stron-gest and sophisticated economies Since 1993 over $100 billion in direct foreign investment has flowed into the country Firms like Hyundai Toyota and VW are in the flourishing automotive sec-tor which now produces one mil-lion passenger cars annually

Naturally the global recession has taken its toll with GDP growth rates now anemic

East Asian investment plays a prominent role with Japan South Korea and Taiwan companies among those in the auto electron-ics and the computer sector

American business is strongly represented with the whorsquos who of US firms based and operating in the Czech Republic Impor-tantly two-way USCzech trade has surged too from about $500 million in 1993 to $57 billion in 2012

In recent years American col-lege students and British larger louts have turned Prague into a party hub for fun and frolic largely attracted by the amazingly good Czech beers and affordable lifestyle Though seemingly less

interested in the architectural wonders which abound they are attracted by an open Bohemian atmosphere which was simply un-imaginable as late as the 1980rsquos

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

Just for your records here

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

To purchase tickets call 603-569-7710 or go online to wwwgreatwa-tersorg

ldquoWhile I believe the text of the i m m i g r a -tion legisla-tion passed by the US Senate is poor and totally fails to achieve the policy

goals its sponsors claim it does I stand behind Sen Kelly Ayotte She is my 80 friend not my 20 enemy Let us hope the US House of Representa-tives will do much better and that Sen Ayotte will be involved in the process between the House and Senate that will hopefully result in actual and effec-tive immigration reform and border securityrdquo

As I was leaving to do radio Friday morning I checked my emails and reading the first sentence the thought of losing my friend who sent the email was entering that poor judgment zone But alas these are the words of DJ Bettencourt (Facebook)

MY FRIEND ldquoThis is the kind of bull you get from those who care more about the Republican Par-ty than the damage this disastrous bill will wreak across our country The only lsquogoodrsquo solution to this from the House is tabling the bill and leaving it there for good or writing a whole new bill that deals with nothing other than border security with a lsquopromisersquo included in the bill to re-turn to the other issues only AFTER the border has been secured And it cer-tainly shouldnrsquot be some-one like Janet Napolitano that verifies the status if itrsquos secure it should be the governors and legislators of those states

ldquoHow is that amnesty bill good for NH My son will NEVER be able to find a job if this bill goes through the US House Irsquom so an-

gry Niel that I canrsquot even think straight and I canrsquot even finish what I started to writerdquo

I donrsquot Twit Tweet or Fa-cebook so here are some comments to DJrsquos words the old fashioned way My issues are not 20 or 80 approval Those issues are weighted For exam-ple what Kelly does with Jeanne Shaheen doesnrsquot mean beans to me Allow-ing criminals from other countries to break into our country to murder rape rob and use our tax dol-lars IS important To slap the good people in the face who are waiting to become citizens is un-American But Marco Kelly Lind-say and McCain are not interested in folks who are ready to be productive and good citizens LOL they think they can capture the votes of criminals DJ the future of this country for my children and grand-children is what is im-portant ndash not an amoeba political party

The GOP leadership would never say the fol-lowing Barack Hussein Obama has shown that his goals are promoting the Gay Agenda protecting the right to murder UN-BORN and just born ba-bies growing welfare (de-pendent on government) building the national debt to the point we cannot recover and a civil war so he becomes a Dictator It is not enough that he has turned our country into one of moral decay Now BHO is in Africa promot-ing same sex marriage and homosexuality in Senegal Homosexuality is a crime

THE DA ILY CALL -ER ldquoSenegalese Presi-dent Macky Sall rebuffed Obamarsquos urging by saying that although his country is lsquovery tolerantrsquo it is not ready to decriminalize ho-mosexualityrdquo Interesting in Obamarsquos country we have lost the First Amend-

ment to express our feel-ings on this issue while Barack is in another coun-try advocating homosexual behavior

Meanwhile back in

Obama Land Jeb Bush ldquoFormer Secretary Clin-ton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracyrdquo the former Florida governor said in a statement announcing the award ldquoThese efforts as a citizen an activist and a leader have earned Sec-retary Clinton this yearrsquos Liberty Medalrdquo The cer-emony takes place Sept 10 The Hill reported

Bush is chairman of the National Constitution Center which is honor-ing the former first lady for her career in public service and her advocacy efforts on behalf of women The Hill reported A nice touch would be having Gennifer Flowers Paula Jones Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey on stage with Hillary to ex-hibit a show of tolerance and love

Just for your records here

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

45THE WEIRS TIMES amp THE COCHECO TIMES Thursday July 4 2013

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Donrsquot wait too long to submit your proposals after giving them a last look-over If necessary you should be able to defend any portion called into question

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Donrsquot wait too long to submit your proposals after giving them a last look-over If necessary you should be able to defend any portion called into question

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

On TheFARMDAWN

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

ldquoBe cAreFUL whAt yoU Ask Forrdquoby dawn thomsonContributing Writer

People often ask me how we came about owning the rescue farm we call ldquoReu-benrsquos Rescue Ranchrdquo My answer lies in the words my best friend often told me while I was growing up ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo

Well maybe I inherited it or maybe it was some-thing I learned but as far back as I can remember Irsquove had a passion for res-cuing animalshellipstray cats hurt birds lost dogshellipyou name it At age twelve I began volunteering at a local veterinary clinic and all through high school I worked there every week-end and holiday doing kennel work There was a rescue shelter in the same building and I would visit the homeless animals af-ter every one of my shifts Although I worked in the hospital it was the rescue side of things that called out to me the most At the clinic we inherited many abandoned animals with behavioral issues and I made it my personal mis-sion to rehabilitate and teach them good behavior to better their chances of adoption from the shel-ter

Since I lived in the sub-urbs my experience was limited to small animals but I longed to work with horses and farm critters Back then I hoped to be-come a veterinarian but my life took a few different turns and it never came to pass

However life often has a way of calling us back to what we are meant to do

In 1994 my husband Tom and I moved to Dan-bury NH and opened

a garden center at our home As our business grew and our first child turned one I needed a flexible job to accommo-date my schedule at the garden center and allow me to spend time with my daughter Since I was missing my connection with animals I thought pet-sitting would be the perfect fit

I started my own busi-ness taking care of ani-mals in their homes and my daughter went with me most of the time Our favorite account was a farm that had horses goats and mini donkeys Working there was like throwing gasoline on the fire of my dreamshellipso I began pitching my hus-band on the idea of hav-ing farm animals at our garden center

My husband wasnrsquot overly fond of the idea of having plant-eating ani-mals around his precious greenery but after much persistence on my part he eventually gave in He drew me sketches of run-ins and small sheds that he proposed to buildhellipall of which I nixed ldquoNot big enoughrdquo was my quick response He started to get nervous He drew me plans for a 2-stall barn ldquoStill too smallrdquo was my answer He began to panic Finally he caved and presented me with a 3-dimensional paper model of a 3 frac12 stall barn complete with tack room and walk-up hay loft for 400 plus bales of hay ldquoPerfectrdquo was my elated response My persistence had paid off

Then Tom got to work on building it Have you ever heard the saying from that famous baseball movie ldquoField of DreamsrdquohellipldquoIf you

build it they will comerdquo hellip

Well come they didhellipthe animals that is

My husband likes to tell the story that I filled the loft with hay before the barn roof was on added goats before we had any fencing up and brought in three donkeys and a horse (ldquoReubenrdquo of course) before the stalls were finished Tom says ldquoI knew once I started building therersquod be no stopping herrdquo And he was right

But while Tom may have fought the idea at first hersquos gotten into the whole rescue cause as much as me now When you

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

Seeking Past WinnersThe Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach local chapter

of the Miss America Organization is searching for past win-ners of the two titles to be their special guests at the 89th annual Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Pageant

The title of Miss Winnipesaukee dates back to 1925 when the first pageant was held at the former Irwinrsquos Winnipesau-kee Gardens dance hall located on the pier in Weirs Beach NH The pageant was held at Irwinrsquos for many decades until Bob Lawton owner of Funspot saved it from extinction in the late 1960s Lawton had many fond memories of the pageant working at Irwinrsquos as a young boy When interest for the pageant waned he moved the pageant to Funspot in 1969 and held it onsite for close to 30 years

During the period from the 1930rsquos through the 1950rsquos there were many local pageants held in the lakes region ldquoAs I researched the history of the Miss Winnipesaukee pageant there were many others I discovered while looking through endless amounts of microfilm at the Laconia Public Libraryrdquo says Gary Vincent Miss Winnipesaukee historian ldquoOne of the past titles was Miss Weirs Beach which was held back in the 1940rsquos and 1950rsquos before endingrdquo The Miss Winnipe-saukee Scholarship Program resurrected the Miss Weirs Beach title in 2007 and runs it as a second crown in their program

Past titleholders or anyone with information or histori-cal documentation regarding either pageant is encouraged to contact the office Doors open at 630pm for this yearrsquos pageant at the Gunstock Ski Area in Gilford NH Further information for the Miss Winnipesaukee amp Miss Weirs Beach Scholarship Programs and applications for the 2013 pageant may be obtained by emailing MissWinniPageantyahoocom or calling co-Executive Director Tina Gebhard at (603) 387-0271 Visit the Miss Winnipesaukee and Miss Weirs Beach programs at wwwMissWinnipesaukeeorg or on Facebook

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

kilham from 1

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

The only program that talks about whatrsquos happening in all of The Granite State

New HampshireNow

written two books ldquoAmong the Bears Raising Or-phan Cubs in the Wildrdquo was published in 2002 by Henry Holt amp Co ldquoOut on a Limbrdquoscheduled for re-lease this fall is about how bears think and act

ldquoPeople need to learn more about themrdquo Kilham says ldquoWe carry ancestral fears about bears in our genome In reality theyrsquore nowhere near as danger-ous as people perceive them We live in a forested state and wherever there is forest there is bear hab-itat and bears are a fact of life So therersquos nothing un-usual about a bear coming into your yard On the other hand we donrsquot need to encourage them by leav-ing bird feeders garbage and a food source outsiderdquo to attract them

There are currently about 5000 black bears in the granite state ndash a popula-tion that has remained stable through licensed hunting despite fluctua-tions in weather which bears are accustomed to says Andy Timmins bear specialist for New Hamp-shire Fish and Game Last year a strangely warm spring coupled with a sig-nificant drought reduced the amount of berries nuts and vegetation avail-

able for them to eat At the same time record numbers of cubs were born as a result of plentiful food in 2011 Mother bears un-der pressure to scavenge for their offspring began foraging closer to humans Lured by the intoxicating and far-traveling scent of rotting garbage and the availability of bird seed and grain they wandered into backyards and farmyards to ransack birdfeeders chicken coops and grain stores in barns Last year New Hampshire Fish and Game officials received 1100 calls from residents complaining about bears too close to home Tim-mins says Roughly 800 were killed

Homeowners were ter-

rified by the presence of large hungry carnivores Kilham explains ldquoWhen the response to a bear is emotional people are much more likely to grab a gun But it would be nice if they didnrsquot shoot first The mother bearrsquos just acting naturally and is not a bear that has to be removed from the popula-tionrdquo says Kilham

Kilham typically takes in three or four cubs during the winter months Last year calls poured in from conservation officials resi-dents and people who worked in wildlife rescue Of the 29 bears Kilham currently cares for 16 arrived as orphans after their mothers were shot

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

in 2012 ldquoWe have situations

where people bel ieve theyrsquore defending their property and want to shoot the bear to get rid of it when all they have to do is lock up their garbage remove their bird feeder or put some electric fence around the chicken coop and the bears are not go-ing to be hanging aroundldquo explains Nancy Comeau bear specialist for the US Department of Agricul-turersquos wildlife division in New Hampshire

ldquoIf people see bears they should just appreciate themrdquo Comeau says ldquoThey should get rid of the attracting food supply and just enjoy the sighting Bears in New Hampshire are definitely not aggres-sive Theyrsquore not coming into our communities to

eat our children They want to eat our garbagerdquo

Comeau works out of the Fish and Game office in Lancaster NH Most of the statersquos bears are located in the forested re-gion comprising the White Mountains and areas just to the north and south in-cluding the Lakes Region

ldquoPeople think itrsquos re-ally unusual if a bearrsquos out in the day timerdquo says Comeau ldquobut bears are opportunistic carnivores searching for food any-where they can find it If they find food outside they make that area part of their home rangerdquo

Comeau fields calls from residents who experi-ence uncomfortably close encounters which can peak in June and July when bears are looking for food Sometimes she visits homes to see what

exactly is luring them and provides temporary loans of electric fence to secure a chicken coop too close to the woods

She also gives advice Donrsquot put garbage out the night before wait until morning just before pick up Sprinkle it with am-monia to mask the scent and freeze meat scraps before putting them in Use dumpsters with metal not plastic tops Take bird feeders down between April 1 and December 1 and make sure no bird

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Kilham is considered one of the worldrsquos foremost and successful bear advocates Chinese zoologists work-ing to preserve and expand the panda population have hired him as a consultant to help them reintroduce orphaned pandas back into the wild Most of what Kilham knows has been learned from first-hand ongoing exposure not published scientific research

When he first looked into studying bears he found that surprisingly little had been written about them The scientific community and general public as-sumed that bears were es-sentially loners that came together during mating

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

season then dispersed to wander in search of food The reality is that bears are highly social creatures Kilham explains ldquorecip-rocal altruistsrdquo that will consider the needs of un-related individuals if they have extra food on hand

They also form complex matriarchal groups When

a mother bear weans her daughters at 18 months she sends them out to secure additional territory that becomes the young fe-malesrsquo responsibility to de-fend She punishes them severely for dereliction of duty and is frequently harsher with her daugh-ters than with strangers wandering into her ter-

ritory If there is ample food in the forest she has no problem sharing with young males who wander in temporarily in search of nuts and berries Kilham says

Only the dominant strongest and heaviest males roughly 10 to 15 percent of the male bear population actually get to mate the others are resigned to lives of relative celibacy and frequently form groups to roam scav-enging meals wherever they can find them Itrsquos

not uncommon for males to travel 250 miles from where they were born After a UNH graduate stu-dent put GPS collars on some of Kilhamrsquos bears released into the wild he learned that one male wandered from Lyme NH to Maine then Quebec and back again

The small fluctuating population that Kilham maintains live for the most part as bears do in the forest their enclosure in-cudes woods swamp and a pond The breakfast and

dinner the Kilhams serve is only a modest supplement to the berries nuts grubs and leaves the animals forage themselves Some of the sickly orphaned cubs need extra nutrition however Kilham currently feeds one cub four times a day by syringe

Kilham has kept Squirty a 185-lb female for 17 years since she arrived as a seven-week-old orphan weighing three pounds Since then shersquos had eight litters of cubs

ldquoI have to bribe her with cookies but I still have access to herrdquo Kilham says ldquoBecause I raised her she actually treats me like a bear and I have to be careful not to break the bear rules Bears bite when they punish and they hurtrdquo he adds ldquoWhen she does bite me she rec-onciles She goes into a soft repetitive moan say-ing lsquoIrsquom sorry but that was necessaryrsquo If I interfere with what shersquos doing she gives me a bite Shersquos got me pretty well trained at this pointrdquo

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

gratefully accepted Farm fresh eggs are available for sale plus you can browse through our unique farm thrift shophellipall purchases directly help to support the animals

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Our goal is to provide a permanent sanctuary to as many animals friends as we are financially able to support And although we canrsquot offer a permanent home to all the furry crit-ters that come our way we do provide a resource for connecting animals-in-need with people who are looking to adopt

To help support the cause Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch is open for visi-tors most Saturdays from 9am-5pm The farm is free for all but donations are

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

A lot has happened at Reubenrsquos Rescue Ranch since 1994 We no longer have the garden center but we are still committed to the rescue farm and all its eclectic residents

Since then wersquove taken in among other critters a lonely llama a stray don-key a retired race horse rejected dogs and sev-eral chickens and ducks Tom has built an addition onto the barn and added chicken coops and rab-bit hutches in response to the never-ending sup-ply of animals that find

their way through our barn doors Remember my best friendrsquos words ldquoBe careful what you ask forhellipyou just might get itrdquo Well those words sure rang true in this casehellipmy dream turned into reality quicker than I ever could have imagined

Senate this budget did not incur any new taxes and fees on taxpayers We ALL have to learn to live within our means Government included or should I say especially

Within HB 2 there was portion of the bill which delayed NH Medicaid ex-pansion taking time to see the real impact of what this subsidy could mean for our state Taking gov-ernmental ldquoFREErdquo money is easy to do But in this case I believe it was a fis-cally sound decision to take

time before grabbing that golden ring This federal money to expand Medicaid may be touted as ldquofreerdquo but we know there are always tentacles connected to tak-ing governmental money Mind you it is not really free either ndash it belongs to the American taxpayer Money doesnrsquot just magically ap-pear for the government to spend The ldquofreebiesrdquo are paid by our taxes Just keep saying over and over ldquoIt is NOT free ndash It is NOT freehelliprdquo I believe it is best to step very carefully before expanding Medicaid in the state of New Hampshire

One other important bill was passed at this ses-sion HB 595 relative to photo identification of vot-ers passed 231121 This bill just kills me It expands the list of allowable IDrsquos allowing election officials to accept any ID they like () and eliminates the re-quirement to photograph people registering without an ID Heck you need a photo ID to buy a beer but not to vote UGH Such is the world of politics Some-times I feel like screaming ldquoWhere is common sense hererdquo So far there hasnrsquot been any answer But you can bet we will keep asking the question

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

The Uncle Tom card has been played out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Standard-Size Door Likely Can Be Used In Nonstandard Opening

by Tim carterSyndicated Columnist

Ask The Builder

DEAR TIM I have a problem I need a new front door but Irsquom being told that I have to have an expensive custom door made I simply canrsquot afford that right now My home is brick veneer and the width between the brick is 45 inches The height of the opening between the limestone sill and the brick angle iron that passes over the door is a little taller than 84 inches Is it true that I need a custom door The frame walls on the other side of the brick are just normal 2-by-4s Is the contractor just trying to trick me What are my options --Karen G Val-paraiso Ind

DEAR KAREN I canrsquot pass judgment on the in-tentions of the contractor who said you need a cus-tom door Itrsquos possible hersquos dishonest but itrsquos possible he simply doesnrsquot know how to solve your prob-lem

Believe me Irsquove seen plenty of situations in old-er homes where the front door was an odd size Irsquove worked on older homes where it was vitally impor-tant to preserve the archi-tectural integrity and a custom door was the only solution Frequently the issue is the width of the door jamb

Modern homes -- by which I mean those build from the late 1960s to the present -- tend to have door jambs with fairly com-mon exterior widths Theyrsquoll usually be 4 916 inches or 6 916 inches This jamb width matches the measured wall thickness including the exterior wall sheathing the wall framing

A standard-sized door can be used to replace this existing door

stud and the interior wall covering

Houses that were built prior to World War II typi-cally had thicker wall studs 34-inch exterior sheathing and plaster and lath interior wall covering I frequently had to order door jambs that measured 5 14 inches to deal with these situations

Herersquos the good news When it comes to brick veneer homes and replace-ment doors itrsquos always bet-ter for the masonry opening to be slightly larger than too small Itrsquos really easy to fill the extra space with wood that can be made to look perfectly normal Itrsquos expensive to enlarge a ma-sonry opening and make it look like nothing was touched In fact itrsquos nearly impossible to do

In your case I feel you can use a standard exterior door with no issues what-soever Most exterior doors are 36 inches in width By the time you add in the spacing between the door and the jamb and the thickness of the jamb you have a unit dimen-sion of 38 inches or so Add 4 more inches for the standard brick molding and yoursquoll be pretty close to 42 or 43 inches in total width

Your masonry opening height also allows you to easily fit in a standard exterior door that comes with factory-applied brick mold trim My guess is the contractor just looked at an existing door at a home center and saw there would be a large gap between the

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Donrsquot wait too long to submit your proposals after giving them a last look-over If necessary you should be able to defend any portion called into question

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

The Uncle Tom card has been played out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

factory-applied brick mold and your brick

Guess what You can easily remove the brick mold trim that comes from the factory and install dif-ferent trim You can also leave on the brick mold trim and add additional trim boards between your new door and the brick With a small amount of skill these added boards can be made to be quite decorative and add ad-ditional character to your door opening

You have other options as well If you donrsquot want to layer all of these additional trim boards you can have custom brick mold trim made at a local lumber mill In fact you can actu-ally design what the profile of this molding will be if you have a creative flair

The lumber mill will carve a shaping knife that fits into a milling machine that transforms a rectangular piece of lumber into an ex-quisite piece of molding with a profiled face The cost to create this custom knife may only be about $100

If it were me Irsquod prob-ably not have custom trim made Irsquom convinced that if you visit a traditional lum-ber yard that has many dif-ferent moldings available yoursquoll be able to use two or three different moldings to create a stunning stepped casing for the exterior of your new door

Once these are stained or painted they will look like they were the original moldings The best part about this is that your door will have a distinctive flair that sets it apart from all of your neighborsrsquo doors that have the standard blah

builder from 27 brick mold trimMaking the door fit inside

is much less of an issue You can probably reuse your existing interior trim molding You may have to just install two new pieces of baseboard and do some minor drywall patching and painting Itrsquos not that hard to do for an experi-enced contractor

Visit a local lumberyard or a company that sells new exterior doors Theyrsquoll have several contractors you can call that absolutely have the needed experience and skills to install a stan-dard affordable door in your opening Let me know how it turns out

Of course Winkler didnrsquot think it was offensive Smarty-pants liberal rac-ists never think theyrsquore being racist In their own sanctimonious minds pro-gressives of pallor can never be guilty of bigotry toward minority conservatives Ig-norance is strength Slurs are compliments Intoler-ance is tolerance

And when all else fails left-wing prejudice is al-ways just a well-intended joke (PBS commentator Julianne Malveauxrsquos death wish for Justice Thomas set the standard ldquoI hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do of heart disease He is an absolutely rep-rehensible personrdquo)

Back in her day before the advent of democratiz-ing social media Malveaux and her elitist PBS friends could get away with such vile bile But liberal crabs in the bucket viciously try-ing to drag dissenters ldquoof colorrdquo down can no longer engage in hit-and-run with impunity Conservatives on Twitter have changed the dynamic in an under-appreciated revolutionary way The pushback against liberal political bigotry is bigger stronger and swifter than itrsquos ever been

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

Great Waters Music Festival is pleased to announce that the Hillyer Festival Orchestra conducted by Dirk Hillyer with guest artist Rebecca Robbins will be performing a Broad-way Spectacular Pops concert on Fri-day evening July 12 at 8pm at the Kingswood Arts Center This will be a fun-filled evening with something for everyone including music from such shows as Music Man Cats Annie Chicago Hello Dolly and Phantom of the Opera amongst others

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

when it comes to think-ing that they ought to take a whole spectrum of decisions out of citizensrsquo hands and impose the governmentrsquos decisions on them

Maybe the reason for the New York Yankeesrsquo low batting averages has something to do with the fact that so many of their batters seem to be swing-ing for the fences even when a single would score the winning run

President Obamarsquos de-nial of knowledge about the various scandals in his administration that are starting to come to light suggests that his titles should now include Inno-cent-Bystander-in-Chief

It has long been my belief that the sight of a good-looking woman lowers a manrsquos IQ by at least 20 points A man who doesnrsquot happen to have 20 points he can spare can be in big trouble

When Attorney General Eric Holder argued that a ldquopath to citizenshiprdquo for

illegal immigrants was a ldquocivil rightrdquo and a ldquohuman rightrdquo that epitomized the contempt for the pub-licrsquos intelligence which has characterized so much of what has been said and done by the Obama ad-ministration

You know you are old when waitresses call you ldquodearrdquo

Although many people have been surprised and disappointed by Barack Obama it is hard to think of a president whose poli-cies were more predictable from his history however radically different those policies are from his rheto-ric

When any two groups have different behavior or performance that plain fact can be turned upside down and twisted to say that whatever criterion revealed those differences has had a ldquodisparate im-pactrdquo on one of the groups In other words the crite-rion is blamed for an in-justice to those who failed to meet the standard

Have you heard any gun control advocate even try

to produce hard evidence that tighter gun control laws reduce murder rates Does anyone seriously be-lieve that people who are prepared to defy the laws against murder are going to obey laws against own-ing guns or large capacity magazines

I may be among the few people who want Attor-ney General Eric Holder to keep his job -- at least until the 2014 elections Holder epitomizes what is wrong with the Obama administration He is es-sentially Barack Obama without the charm so it should be easier for the voters to see through his lies and corruption

Despite political differ-ences it is hard not to feel sorry for White House press secretary Jay Car-ney for all the absurdities his job requires him to say with a straight face What is he going to do when this administration is over Wear a disguise change his name or be put into a witness protection pro-gram

Thomas Sowell is a se-nior fellow at the Hoover Institution Stanford Uni-versity Stanford CA 94305 His website is wwwtsowellcom

malities Sanger would undoubtedly be pleased if she could visit our mod-ern world from whatever netherworld she inhabits to learn that the abortion of African American babies is taking place at the rate of four times that of whites Adolf Hitler also embraced eugenics and his views led to the murder of mil-lions of Jews gypsies and countless others whom he deemed unfit to live Dr Gosnell himself an African American allegedly served a disproportionate number of clients who are African American or other minori-ties In a recent speech in which he addressed Planned Parenthood our first African American president included the words ldquoGod bless Planned Parenthoodrdquo How ironic Why does abortion take

place anyway The short answer is that unwanted unborn almost born and in a few cases just born babies are disposed of for a variety of reasons the main ones being that children are a big incon-venience to some mothers who would prefer to work pursue education prevent their boyfriends from re-jecting them resent the expense of raising a child Liberal thinking tells us that in making the choice to kill your unborn child you are merely exercising your ldquoreproductive freedom ldquoand controlling your own bodyrdquo All of us should thank our mothers for not making that ldquochoicerdquo The surviving Boston Bomb-er when asked about the deaths caused by the re-cent terrorist event said that they were lsquocollateral damagersquo I assume that those are the beliefs of Margaret Sanger Adolf Hitler Planned Parenthood the pro aborts and our president

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Rebecca Robbins is a singer ac-tress and most importantly a can-cer survivor A mere four months after making her Broadway debut Rebecca was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkinrsquos Lymphoma She under-went months of treatment and is cur-rently cancer free and enjoying every second of her life on stage and off

Classically trained Rebecca studied voice at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia under the direction of Mikael Eliasen She also received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Charleston where she studied voice with her friend and mentor Renay Conlin

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Martin Kris and Gabbi riding up another pretty hill

than cars from the center of Ales to our destination in Saint Jean

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

fountains with potable water next to old stone churches We passed small vineyards

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

patenaude from 3that would take us

Les Ecureuils is a beau-tiful BampB run by Mike and Chantal Chantal was born in Valreas and her 91 year old mother still resides in the family home Chantal married Mike and they raised their children and lived in London until Mike retired from the police Mike told Chantal if she lived in London with him until he retired he would give her the rest of her life in France A love-ly story and silently we were counting our bless-ings that we had found a wonderful place to stay where the owners spoke English

After a decent nightrsquos sleep we enjoyed Chan-talrsquos coffee and the won-

Silvi with more lavender more vineyards and another fine view of Mount Ventoux

Silvi Kris Gabbi and Dieter admire the soap and lavender for sale at the market day in Nyon France

derful spread of her homemade jams and bread and we lingered long at breakfast This was our routine every morning before meeting our friends to ride

Silvi Dieter Martin and Gabbi are my ski friends from Germany They spend their June holiday cycling in France They tow their caravans behind their cars from Germany to France and stay at the nicest camp-grounds This is the sec-ond time Kris and I have joined them They like cycling in France best because there are many small roads with little to no car traffic on them and yes the landscape is beautiful too

Our first ride was to the medieval town of Nyon

where there is a Roman bridge that spans the river Eygues Amazingly this high bridge opened in 1409 (yes 604 years ago) and I watched a car

go over it before I rode my bicycle across We enjoyed Nyonrsquos market day Such great fun see-ing the local fresh food and wares displayed out in the open air I bought l avender soap Kr i s bought an olive dish

The city is high above the river and we rode downhill while following the river up stream for many miles We pedaled past vineyards olive trees and many small villages Everywhere roses were in bloom The lavender was just starting to have a hint of color we were a few weeks too early to see it in full bloom

For three days we cy-cled in the area rid-ing about 50 miles each day Our routes took us over mountains and through lush fields and vineyards We could see the Giant of Provence

Mount Ventoux not far in the distance

Our last evening we invited our friends to have dinner with us at Les Ecureuils Chantal prepared us a fabulous meal featuring veal and fresh string beans while Mike poured wine from their favorite local vine-yard We shared stories and much laughter late into the evening

W h i l e o u r f r i e n d s packed up their cara-vans to move west to Saint Jean to ride the Cevennes Mountains Kris and I took off early to be tourists We visited

the town of Orange after finding a free parking space on a side street we walked everywhere We visited the Theatre Antique drsquoOrange a well preserved Roman The-ater and took in the pan-oramic view from the top of the hill and down into the theater Con-certs are still performed in the theater We also trekked to the Triumphal Arch and marveled at its heroic battles themes These monuments are a recognized World Heri-tage Site

We continued our driv-ing adventure swinging through Chateauneuf-du-Pape (super wine country) a crazy detour over a hydro-electric dam due to a bridge closure and a wild ride on a nar-row twisty road where we passed more cyclists

Our friends once again were set up at a beauti-ful campsite this time next to a river The next three nights we spent at the Hotel Les Bellugues and during the day we cycled routes around and over the Cevennes Mountains We crossed the Robert Louis Ste-venson Trail that follows his 1878 walk that he chronicled in his book ldquoTravels with a Donkey in the Cevennesrdquo

The Cevennes National Park has many moun-tains and its highest is Mount Aigoual 1565 me-ters (Silvi and Dieter rode

up it) Kris and I hap-pily followed Gabbi and Martin over hilly routes reaching elevations just under 1000 meters Oh what landscapes Moun-taintops dyed bright yel-low by flower blossoms grassy hill sides where goats and sheep grazed and gorgeous old stone farmhouses that people still inhabit Roses clung to the sides of the hous-es The old forests have red pines oak and chest-nut trees We often found

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

At the end of the hot day of riding we swam in the river Paradise

Time travels too quickly and soon we had a plane to catch Thankfully the drive back to Lyon was uneventful except for the insanity of trying to find the way into the rental car return lot The clerk at the desk clearly couldnrsquot believe I was re-turning the car undam-aged We rode the TVG and took the shuttle to

our airport hotel At 8pm instead of set-

tling into our room we took a cab into Paris We walked from the Notre Dame Cathedral all the way to LrsquoArc de Triomphe and then we took a boat ride on the River Seine to enjoy the lights of the city and of the Eiffel Tower Donrsquot tell anyone but we stayed out until two in the morning

Have Fun

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

This past fall Rebecca joined the Broadway cast of The Phantom of the Opera

The Hillyer Festival orchestra (HFO) was founded in 1998 by (then) Mayor Peter Torrigan of Peabody Massa-chusetts Through his generous sup-port and kind tutelage the orchestra was commissioned to perform one Spring Pops Concert and one Holiday Concert each year Since then the December Holiday concerts have ex-tended to three sold-out evenings

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others

Salomersquos Stars HoroscopeARIES (March 21 to April 19) Donrsquot be Sheepish about asking questions and demanding answers You not only gain needed information but also respect for your steadfast search for the truth

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A money problem that shows up early in the week is expeditiously resolved by savvy Bovines who know how to turn a momentary finan-cial lapse into a monetary gain

gEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Itrsquos a good time to shed negative energy-draining forces and develop a positive approach to handling current as well as upcoming personal andor professional situations

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your urge to do your best on a current task is com-mendable But donrsquot let it become all-con-suming Spend some spiritually restorative time with those who love you

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas to

take your bows for your recent achievements and then go off to enjoy some fun times with your prides and joys

VIRgO (August 23 to September 22) A negative response to a well-intentioned suggestion could communicate a sense of distrust you might later find hard to refute Think carefully before reacting

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your loving attention comforts a family member who is feeling a bit out of sorts But be careful to prioritize your time so you donrsquot neglect your work duties

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your curiosity might be resented by some But those who know you will support your penchant for never settling for less than the truth So stay with it

SAgITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) A pesky situation from the past recurs albeit in an altered form Deal with it promptly before it can go from merely irk-

some to decidedly troublesome

CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Donrsquot wait too long to submit your proposals after giving them a last look-over If necessary you should be able to defend any portion called into question

AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A bid to use your workplace dispute-settling skills in another situation is tempting But be careful You might not have all the facts yoursquoll need if you agree to do it

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That sense of self-doubt is so untypical of you you should have no qualms in shak-ing it off Remind yourself of all yoursquove done and can do and then do it again

BORN THIS WEEK Your ability to charm others without sacrificing sincer-ity is what makes people want to follow your leadership

Dirk Hillyer has been putting to-gether musical groups since he was 12 years old His various configura-tions consisted of folk singing groups rock groups childrenrsquos theater ac-companiment and a very popular ldquoTijuana Brassrdquo style band He also joined a local classical orchestra when he was 13 years old which be-gan a lifersquos interest in serious music along with pop He has performed for Keith Lockhart Carol Channing Luciano Pavarotti Anthony Newley Bobby Vinton among others
