This year’s Antique Boat Show poster by Peter Ferber depicts a marathon water ski race rounding the bandstand in Alton Bay. These races ran from the late 1950’s thru the 1960’s. Starting from The Weirs, they crossed the Broads to Wolfeboro, then down to Alton Bay, and finishing back at The Weirs. Each segment was skied by a different skier, with at least one of them being female. The favored tow boats were large Century inboards which would reach speeds in excess of 50 mph. A variety of them are pictured here, including a black Century Raven Marine Patrol boat. A number of these beautiful mahogany runabouts will be on display this Saturday, July 28th, from 9 am to 3 pm at the annual Antique and Classic Boat Show in Meredith. A revival of the race was staged last summer.

PLYMOUTH- The Flying Mon-key Performance Center is honored to present singer-songwriter, Marc Cohn with his band on Friday, July 27th at 7:30pm. Cohn first made a name for himself in 1990 with his critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, which featured the hits Walking In Memphis, Silver Thunderbird and True Companion. Special guest Rebecca Pidgeon will open the show. Tickets for this concert start at $35.

A favorite of listeners and critics alike, pianist/singer/songwriter Marc Cohn’s 1991 debut earned him a Grammy for “Best New Artist.” On the strength of the single “Walking to Memphis,” Cohn fashioned a career that took cues from Van Morrison’s blue-eyed soul and other ‘70s staples like Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. Along the way he has received assists from David Crosby, Graham Nash, Roseanne Cash and Martin Sexton.

Tickets for the Marc Cohn concert are $35, and $45 for premium seats. For tickets and more information on concerts and the Flying Mon-key Performance Center, visit www.flyingmonkeynh.com or call 603-536-2551.

the wolfeBoRo inn CeleBRAtes 200 YeARs

The Wolfeboro Inn is celebrating 200 years. Considering that the town of Wolfeboro turned 250 years old in 2009, the building has roots deep in the town.

The Inn has gone through many different owners and renovations in 200 years and its history is extensive.

Built in 1812 by Nathan-iel Rogers, when Wolfe-boro’s population was 1,794, it was originally a private residence on what was once a hundred acre homestead that Nathaniel inherited from his father. It didn’t open its doors to guests until 1887 as the summer tourism visitors

to Wolfeboro began to grow in numbers. It is located on North Main Street at the corner of Sewall Road. The front of the building, as seen today, is the origi-nal house.

In 1931, HR Carlisle bought the house and called it “The Copper Ket-tle Corner.” It was oper-ated as a restaurant and gift shop.

In May of 1936, it was bought by Mr. and Mrs. James W. Carr who changed the name to the Carr House. Mr. Carr had previously been the man-ager of the Hollender Ho-tel in St. Petersburg, Fla. In addition to the dining room, it now featured the

Colonial Tavern room and the Pine Lounge in addi-tion to its dining room. Sunday dinners were of-fered for one dollar. It op-erated during the summer months and was com-plete with waiters in white gloves who pampered the guests.

In 1939, the dining room was opened to outside guests

During World War II, James Carr served in the Pacific, and the Inn was closed until the end of the war. When it reopened it had a house motto of: “A country inn on Lake Win-nipesaukee.”

In 1946, The Carrs See inn on 38

Built in 1812 by Nathaniel Rogers as a residence, this building at the corner of North Main Street and Sewall Road in Wolfeboro saw many changes in ownership. Today it is the Wolfeboro Inn.

Where Do They Stand?

To The Editor:While I applaud Ayotte’s

stand on the recently passed Transportation Bill, she not only brought to question whether ex-pending $20 billion more than the Federal Gas Tax gathered in revenue... she brought to question the true wishes of our district voters. It brings to ques-tion how two politicians from the same party, being seated in the same elec-tion, can have two oppos-ing views and neither be held accountable?

Obviously, I can’t blame voter integrity in our ‘ei-ther/or’ political world. But I can question open support for such candi-dates. Our next line of defense will be the incom-ing members of the NH Legislature and Governor-elect. So where do each of these candidates stand? Will they stand with Sena-tor Ayotte, and vote not to budget or expend funds from the Transportation Bill in areas she opposed? Or will they vote to sup-port its expenditure, while publicly basking in her with praise?

Now is the time, before the primaries, and the limiting choice of ‘either/or’ that we must know the positions of those aspiring to the governorship, or a legislative seat. Do they stand with Senator Ayotte? Or with Senator Shaheen? Can we expect them to re-fuse to budget and expend those ‘wasteful’ monies? Or can we expect them to support Shaheen’s deficit spending?

We already know that

Guinta and Bass sided with Senator Shaheen, but what of those that aspire to be ‘our last line of defense’? Where do Lamontagne, Smith, Hassan, and Cilley stand? Would they side with Senator Ayotte, and stop expenditure on clean air mitigation, recreational trails and transportation enhancement projects? Or will they simply sign-off and change the subject? What about those seeking seats in the Legislature? And, of course, will the voters that publicly sup-port Senator Ayotte’s posi-tion have the strength of integrity to speak and vote against those that side with Senator Shaheen?

Uh Oh!To The Editor:

U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that voter identifi-cation laws are constitu-tional. On July 6, 2012, after many battles Gover-nor Lynch has finally per-mitted New Hampshire’s voter ID bill to become law. Great! Those of us who believe today’s technology easily hoodwinks yester-day’s voting processes see this as a win for the good guys. Done deal right? Not so fast!

Unfortunately due to his-torical events, New Hamp-shire is subject to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which requires all voting process changes to be ap-proved by Washington. So our new voter ID law cannot take effect until Washington approves. New Hampshire’s new voter

id law is now in a 60-day queue waiting approval from the US Department of Justice. Uh Oh!

The Attorney General of the United States (one who is supposed to represent all of us) and his Justice Department evidently hold the belief that that it is so hard for some to get photo IDs that a mandate to pro-duce an id to vote amounts to government-sponsored voter disenfranchisement. Preposterous!

In addition to needing a photo ID to be admit-ted to Washington’s own Justice Department, to-day one needs a photo ID to cash checks, travel on airplanes, purchase a fire-arm, complete any large credit card purchase, open a bank account, rent an apartment, be admitted to a hospital, and get a marriage license. Interest-ingly you need valid photo identification to qualify for many government pro-grams as well. These are the government programs designed specifically to help the folks our Justice Department is presumably trying to protect. These government programs re-quire photo IDs! Why? Be-cause the administrators of these programs want to eliminate fraud. Well, guess what!

That’s the same reason we want voter id laws...to prevent fraud.

Voter fraud is simple to imagine but very hard to prove. One case in Mis-sissippi was closed only when the culprit’s DNA was lifted from the glue she licked to seal absentee ballot envelopes. DNA!

With assistance from to-day’s modern technology, identity theft is rampart.

Our voting processes are antiquated. You do the math. It’s a new day. We need new leadership and we need voter ID!

I don’t a l w a y s k n o w w h a t I am going to wr i t e about be-fore I sit down to write it.

I get a lot of ideas from day to day living, but not all of them translate into a 700 word column.

For example.I recently bought a gas

powered weed whacker. Those of you who know me understand that I am a good example why there should be a three day waiting period for selling any kind of power tool to certain people like me. Much like a car, if it has a motor, people like me should be required to first take a road test.

My old weed whacker was electric and not very powerful and was pretty ineffective on some of the thicker brush I have. Also, I often found myself in the situation where I was close to actually weed whacking the power cord itself.

Not a very safe proposi-tion.

So, I bought the gas powered one and, to ev-eryone’s amazement, I have handled it pretty well. The only problem being that when I was done, I had an awful ring-ing in my ears.

I went to the local big chain hardware store and searched for ear pro-tectors. The salesman, who was about my age, showed me their selec-tion and asked me if I wanted a pair with a ra-dio built into it.

“That’s sort of counter productive to the reason you wear ear protectors, isn’t it?” I asked.

“Well,” he said. “Some people like to ‘Rock Out’ while working.”

After all was said and done I thought it would make a good column. Not the story about the ear protectors, but the fact that a guy pushing sixty would actually use the phrase “Rock Out.”

Still, I couldn’t seem to push it for 700 words, so I let it go.

Last week I received two, not one, but two let-ters in the U.S. mail from Verizon to inform me that I had signed up for email billing only so as to cut back on the amount of paper that was needed to send out paper bills in the U.S. Mail.

I had, without hesita-tion, signed up for this after visiting a Verizon store after a long day on airplanes when my phone stopped working and I couldn’t figure out the problem. I needed the help of a cocky, self assured tech person. He saved my phone but then hounded me with all of these other options, in-cluding one for paperless billing. I had just spent hours in the air looking down at a country loaded with trees. I wasn’t anx-ious to save any of them; in fact, I thought we have too many as is, I just wanted to get out of that store and get home and get into bed. So, I signed the paper.

I had done my part, though maybe not for the reasons you’d expect, but Verizon didn’t seem to be doing their fair share.

It was, I thought at the time I got the let-ters in the mail, an “Ah Ha” moment. This would make a great column for a future issue. But, as you can see, it was really only good for a few para-graphs.

Then there was Presi-dent Obama’s self defin-ing moment when he claimed that anyone’s success was dependent

upon the government. If it wasn’t for roads and bridges, etc. that were built by the government then no one would be able to actually be suc-cessful.

I must admit it irked me more than a little.

There’s a great column by Thomas Sowell in this issue that talks about that better than I can, so it’s another idea I can’t use. But I still needed to come up with something for this week. After all, this is what I get paid for and, minus the taxes de-ducted from my paycheck to give the government the money they need to build those roads and bridges, it does help pay the mortgage.

But I won’t got there.Last week, I signed up

for Twitter. I was hoping it would provide me with some good ideas. So far, it’s only made me realize that my skills in figur-ing out social media are on about the same level as my skills with power tools. I am enjoying so-cial media though, I’m not much for talking to people face to face.

Hopefully, next week, I will have a more cohesive and complete thought for a column. Maybe not.

We’ll see.By the way, you can

follow me on Twitter at @weirsbrendan. For what-ever that is worth.

On Garden State Grid Gambling

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wants to legalize sports gambling in the Garden State.

He wonders why orga-nized crime should reap all the benefits of current sports gambling. The pen-chant so many sports fans have to bet on game out-comes is powerful and it creates a lucrative market for bookmakers who pay no taxes on their illegal income.

The Associated Press reported that Christie’s decision to defy a federal law against sports betting is an exciting thought for New Jersey residents, who voted 2-1 last year in favor of sports books in Atlantic City casinos and four ma-jor racetracks.

However, to succeed here, Christie needs not only to vanquish the Feds, but also the NFL, which strongly opposes the idea.

Toni Monkovic’s New York Times football blog points out that Christie is undaunted.

“If someone wants to stop us, then let them try to stop us,” said the first-term N.J. governor. “We want to work with the casinos and horse racing industry to get it imple-mented. Am I expecting there may be legal action taken against us to pre-vent it? Yes. But I have every confidence we’re go-ing to be successful. We intend to go forward.”

Christie says he has common sense on his side. In speech after speech, he tells the story of going to a Giants game and talking to a fan who was happy

with a victory against Mi-ami but disappointed that the Giants didn’t cover. His point: Gambling is go-ing to happen regardless, so regulate it and take it out of criminal hands. Some the licensing fees would be earmarked for programs to deal with gambling addiction.

Christie has valiantly “tackled” a systemic state budget crisis brought on by too many years of Democrat misrule. (See Corzine, John). Desperate times, call for desperate measures. But is sanc-tioning sports betting re-ally that radical? Many people make a living from it in Nevada. There should be plenty of data from the Silver State on how that’s worked out in Nevada.

Check out the United Kingdom. One can legally bet on almost anything in England and the Brits seem to be OK with it.

Legalized sports gam-bling could actually create unprecedented interest in sports, as suddenly that Charger-Chief game could mean a lot to a bettor, who otherwise could care less about that game’s out-come. This means higher television ratings, which the NFL must be aware of.

It’s not going to hap-pen as quickly as Christie wants, and it may not save Atlantic City or the state’s horse racing industry by itself. But he’s the first major politician to come

out aggressively favoring sports betting, and I’m left wondering why New Hampshire didn’t lead the way in this area. Remem-ber that the Granite State instituted the first modern state lottery in 1964, and that seems to have worked out OK.

Millions of people regu-larly bet on the stock mar-ket. Why not let people bet on sports? It may be stupid to bet on the Red Sox, but it shouldn’t be criminal!

A Gambling Story(From Professional Gam-

bler.Com) It was the 1999 MLB playoffs. It was the bottom of the 15th inning between the Braves and Mets. The game was tied, 3-3. The bases were load-ed and my friend Adrian from Singapore was on the “Over” 9.0 runs. With the score 3-3, he needed to catch a longshot break to win, of course.

Then, with the bases loaded Robin Ventura came to bat and hit a grand slam home run!

Adrian was ecstatic, of course. A final score of 7-3! “Over” 9! His sport-book credited his account with his winnings and all was right with the world.

But wait! The fans flood-ed the field, the players piled onto Ventura, and there was instant chaos. Ventura was swept off his feet before he could run

O b a m a c a m p a i g n adviser David Axelrod and his hatchet p eop l e a r e s t i l l y a m -mering about GOP pres i -dential rival Mitt Romney’s overseas in-v e s tmen t s .

It’s time for the Romney cam-paign to educate voters about all the shady financial institutions embraced by Democrats right here on American soil.

The fat-cat narrative attacks on Republicans won’t go away by making nice with the White House -- or by relying on Belt-way journalists to drop their double standards and vet the president’s own bad bank en-tanglements. Indeed, The New York Times admitted this week that their staff and other politi-cal journalists from every major media outlet submit their work to the White House for unprec-edented review, editing and “veto power.”

Fortunately, the truth manipu-lators and message massagers haven’t gotten to this column yet. So, let’s talk sleazy Demo-cratic Party-backed banks, shall we?

Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac. For-get Switzerland. The mother and father of all financial industry outrages are rooted in Wash-ington, D.C. And Obama Demo-crats are among the biggest winners of lavish, out-of-control compensation packages from fraud-plagued Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Obama confidante James Johnson raked in $21

million. Former Obama chief of staff and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel “earned” at least $320,000 for a brief 14-month gig at Freddie Mac. And Clinton Fannie Mae head and Obama economic confidante Franklin Raines bagged some $90 mil-lion in pay and stock options earned during the government-sponsored institution’s Enron-style accounting scandal on the public dime.

Self-appointed banking police-woman and DNC Chair Deb-bie Wasserman Schultz has, uncharacteristically, kept her mouth shut about these wealthy barons.

Superior Bank. One of the Obamas’ oldest Chicago friends and wealthiest billionaire bun-dlers, former Obama national fi-nance chairwoman Penny Pritz-ker, headed up this subprime lender. Even after it went under in 2001 and left 1,400 custom-ers destitute, Pritzker was push-ing to expand its toxic subprime loan business. Pritzker and her family escaped accountability by forking over $460 million over 15 years. Obama happily accepted the nearly $800 million in cam-paign and inaugural funding Pritzker drummed up for him. To protect her family’s multibil-lion dollar fortune, Pritzker’s enterprises park their money in the very same kind of offshore trusts her candidate is attacking Romney over.

Broadway Bank. In 2010, Pres-ident and Mrs. Obama per-sonally raised money for their Chicago friend and fundraiser Alexi Giannoulias. As I reported then, Giannoulias’ Greek immi-grant family founded Chicago-

GEORGETOWN, S.C. -- Taking a dozen grand-children on va-cation means that we buy cereal by the ton and milk in multiple gal-lons. I was in the cereal aisle, squinting at the

list of ingredients on a brightly colored box of “high-fiber multi-grain something,” when a fellow shopper put the question to me: “So, Col. North, what’s the ‘Octo-ber surprise’ for this election?”

I almost said, “High-fructose corn syrup” -- the ingredient I had been instructed to avoid -- but settled instead for this: “Syria. Bashar Assad is likely to go down before we go to the polls, and that will change everything in the Middle East.”

My response seemed to satisfy my interlocutor, but on reflec-

tion, it didn’t suit me. That’s because the first “October sur-prise” in a presidential campaign I recall affected me personally. It was 1968. Richard Nixon vs. Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Nix-on had campaigned on a promise to end the war in Vietnam, and I was a newly minted U.S. Marine infantry second lieutenant with orders sending me to the widely unpopular fight shortly after the election.

On Oct. 31, just five days be-fore Americans were to go to the polls, President Lyndon Johnson announced a halt to the “Rolling Thunder” air campaign against military targets in North Vietnam and a “breakthrough” in the “Par-is peace talks” with the regime in Hanoi. Johnson’s last-minute ploy to help his vice president’s political fortunes had little effect on the election; Nixon won in a landslide.

oBAMA’s RhetoRiC

Barack Obama’s great rhetorical gifts include the ability to make t h e a b s u r d sound not only plausible, but inspiring and profound.

H is la tes t v e r b a l t r i -umph was to

say on July 13th, “if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.” As an example, “Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Let’s stop and think, even though the whole purpose of much po-litical rhetoric is to keep us from thinking, and stir our emotions instead. Even if we were to assume, just for the sake of argument, that 90 percent of what a successful per-son has achieved was due to the government, what follows from that? That politicians will make better decisions than individu-

al citizens, that politicians will spend the wealth of the country better than those who created it? That doesn’t follow logically -- and certainly not empirically. Does anyone doubt that most people owe a lot to the parents who raised them? But what fol-lows from that? That they should never become adults who make their own decisions? The whole point of the collec-tivist mindset is to concentrate power in the hands of the collec-tivists -- which is to say, to take away our freedom. They do this in stages, starting with some group that others envy or resent -- Jews in Nazi Germany, capitalists in the Soviet Union, foreign inves-tors in Third World countries that confiscate their investments and call this theft “nationalization.” Freedom is seldom destroyed all at once. More often it is eroded, bit by bit, until it is gone. This can happen so gradually that there is no sudden change that would alert people to the danger. By the time everybody realizes what has

U N I T E D N A -TIONS—With the London Sum-mer Olympics fast approach-ing, the eyes of America are on Team USA, or more pre-cisely on the manufactur-er’s labels on

their uniforms. What looked like a proud sporting moment when designer Ralph Lauren unveiled a really classy looking blue navy blazer, white pants and slightly improbable beret, became a po-litical “gotcha moment” as the ubiquitous “Made in China” label was part of the kit. Whoops!

Politicians and pundits alike were energized as fast as a July thunderstorm. And rightly so--to a point. That the Team USA dress uniforms were not made in the USA comes as shock but hardly a surprise. Have you been to a clothing or shoe store recently?

While the Ralph Lauren manu-facturer portrays a classic and classy “American look,” the actu-al product is Made in China. Sur-prise? So are so many men’s and women’s clothes be they Brooks Brothers polo or dress shirts, or garments at the GAP or Crew.

The real outrage was not so much that the product comes from a low wage, non-union man-ufacturing base in communist China, but that in these times of recession, eight percent plus unemployment, and a continu-ing hemorrhage of American jobs, that the outfits can and should be produced here in the USA.

The disputed uniforms are the responsibility of the Colorado-based U.S. Olympic Committee, a private organization without taxpayer funding. U.S. Olympic Committee fundraising often in-cludes various promotional items, umbrellas, t shirts, kit bags etc, which are…Made in China.

Many politicians drew the line in the sand on nationalistic grounds as well as the fact that China has siphoned off so many American manufacturing jobs.

Nevada Democrat and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, in a pique of disgust said “I think they should take all the uni-forms, put them in a big pile and burn them..” Almost sounds like

Olympic Uniform Controversy Brings Bipartisan “Gotcha Moment”Mao’s Cultural Revolution!

Republican House Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio said sarcastically of the Olympic Committee, “You’d think they would know better.”

Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, whose economic policies often seem to the left of contemporary China’s, chimed in but with reason that, “At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed, there is no reason why U.S. Olympic uniforms are not being manufactured in the U.S. This action on the part of the U.S. Olympic Committee is symbolic of a disastrous trade policy which has cost us millions of decent-paying jobs.”

The U.S. Olympic Commit-tee must have been appallingly dense not to have thought that the Made in China label creates a political lightning rod especially in hard economic times.

Let’s look at the record of our lopsided trade with the People’s Republic of China. The USA/PRC trade deficits have soared and dangerously so even during recession. In 2011 a recession year, Beijing held a $295 billion trade surplus with the U.S. In 2010 the surplus was $273 bil-lion in China’s favor. Such sober-ing statistics clearly overshadow the uniform uproar.

Sadly the story becomes about the uniforms not the amazing athletes on Team USA.In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China, Team USA’s uniforms were also Made in China.

Bob Beckel, a prominent Demo-crat commentator on FOX News went ballistic on the show, “The Five.” He boomed, “They are so competitive, they probably would have put downers in the fabric to hurt our athletes… I don’t trust them worth a damn, and I tell you, I wouldn’t let anything be done over there.”

Beckel blasted Beijing, saying that Islamic terrorists are not nearly as great a threat to the United States as is China. Demo-crats seem to outdo the Republi-cans in Beijing-bashing as they do self-righteous outrage.

Outsourcing becomes the is-sue. Not just with the traditional manufacturing jobs, but increas-ingly high-tech and scientific pro-duction which has gone offshore. Firms like Boeing aircraft and Mi-

********Hey, Barack, It’s Me

Again! Man, you have had a really bad week. For once you told Amer-ica your true feelings. Any person with a speck of common sense has to acknowledge you were insulting every business owner, big and small. Of course you got caught up in the class warfare by blaming those who have money because THEY took a chance on a busi-ness venture, hired other Americans and worked the idea without the gov-ernment being involved.

So Barry, oh, I mean Barack, of course, you p robab l y r eg r e t the quote: “If you’ve got a

business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen,” may have changed the election. Sure hope that is true. That is change and hope!

Thought you might have heard about this: “Most Americans think the re a re t oo many people on welfare who should not be getting it and believe overwhelm-ingly that those who do receive welfare benefits should be required to work.

“A new Rasmussen Re-ports national telephone survey finds that 83% of American Adults favor a work requirement as a condition for receiving welfare aid.”

Barack, please tell me, if I were a successful businessman, and I , through my business, employed several Ameri-cans, maybe 25, 50, or hundreds; why do you really think that those illegals, lay-abouts, non-inspired, non-productive Americans, deserve to share in my success? Why do you believe they should live off my suc-cess? Government nev-er gave any assistance in building MY courier business. Please, I chal-lenge you, to reconsider your words.

In 1972 no one in NH provided a “within NH same day delivery.” I had to get PERMISSION from the NH Public Utili-ties Commission, and the Interstate Commerce Commission and they refused to grant it the first time. Do you want to know how I got into the delivery business? I had to become part of government, then, I got their attention about how unfair government is to the little guy!!

Barack, how do YOU

view the self-employed carpenters, MY haircut Lady, the 5-8 man pav-ing company founder who finds paving jobs for he and his crew, how did government help the owner of the Rent-al Store, the small IN-DEPENDENTLY owned market who may be struggling across this land, BECAUSE HE IS NOT TOO BIG TO FAIL?! BTW Barack, are you aware, or perhaps you don’t care?

These excerpts found at PajamasMedia.com: “Andrew C. McCarthy, is a former federal pros-ecutor and New York Times bestselling author of The Grand Jihad and Willful Blindness; he’s also a regular contribu-tor at National Review and The New Criterion.

“One of the many great things about Paul Johnson’s magisterial A History of the American People is that he begins that history in the Six-teenth Century. There was an identifiable, cul-turally distinguishable American People long before there was a Revo-lutionary War, a Consti-tution, or a central gov-ernment. The American People, by their industry and ingenuity, didn’t just build successful businesses… they built the most successful na-tion in history — and all, somehow, without HUD, Fannie, Freddie, the EPA, OSHA…” Can I get an Amen from you Barack?

When it comes to Pab-lo Picasso, I have heard just about everything. From, “I don’t get it!” to “It’s so ugly!” the ques-tion of why Picasso is so famous isn’t obvious to everyone.

Picasso was the con-summate risk taker. He found inspiration in bull fights, relationships, his children and life in gen-eral. His art evolved as he did. Because of this, you won’t find one neat category to fit his work in. Many artists are known for one sig-nature look. Think of Claude Monet and you will think of water lilies. Think of Jackson Pollock and you will think of paint splattered “action paint-ings.” Picasso’s evolution sent his art off into many creative directions, each interesting in terms of his ability to grow artistically. To quote Picasso, “You see me and yet I have already changed. I am already elsewhere.”

Picasso was also pro-lific. He was the most un-blocked artist you will ever find. It will come as no surprise that Picasso had a legendary ego. He could self-promote like no one else. It may seem

PiCAsso – Genius oR GoBBledYGook?

—ART GIRL—

ironic that Picasso re-ceived traditional training during his early years. This strong background was, in my opinion, a nice base from which to grow. Throughout his life, his work was never meant to please the decorators. Rather, there are notable works like Guernica – a mural sized image using Cubism to express the horrors of war. The Cur-rier Museum of art has a compelling image titled, Woman Seated in a Chair. It was created in 1941. In this painting, you won’t find a photo representa-tional image. You will see three dimensions on a two

dimensional plane. Pi-casso’s work was origi-nal in each and every transmutation, rather than derivative. For ex-ample, although Pica-sso worked in Cubism along with other great artists, his style was always unique. Even a pet goat became the inspiration for a sculp-ture. Picasso never ran out of ideas.

In terms of artis-tic mediums, Picasso worked in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and pottery, to name a few. He also had a period called the Blue Period - a sad time for the artist. Others include the rose period,

and his African period. He also made 3D construc-tions from objects in his environment or nature.

You could say Picasso lived his life with child-like wonder. To quote the man, the artist, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

—OFF THE SHELF—BeinG the BookMAn

by Debby MontagueEntertainment Correspondent

Booked To Die, John Dunning, Scribner, 1992

Sometimes it happens like this: My friend sug-gested an author she’d come across when she was researching old time radio. The book and author sounded inter-esting. I s p r a n g f o r the b o o k , and ev-erything I l o v e a b o u t b o o k s c o n -v e r g e d – g o o d writing, good sto-ry, good charac-ter, good stuff.

A few w e e k s ago my friend, J, mentioned John Dunning’s Booked To Die. Booked To Die won a Nero Award (http://w w w . n e r o w o l f e . o r g /htm/neroaward/award.htm). J and I are ardent fans of the Nero Wolfe mysteries by Rex Stout, and I’ve read several of the Nero Award winners and in most cases found them good reads. So off I went to the Ama-zon website to see what Booked To Die was about and it looked promis-ing - a murder mystery centered on books and bookstores.

Some people just dive into the first chapter, but I like to read the intro particularly when it’s written by the au-thor. This paperback contained the author’s introduction, and that was worth the price of the book even if the mys-tery had turned out to be so-so. Dunning, a book-man himself, talks about

the book business – writ-ers, sellers, collectors, prices – and I was smit-ten before I even started reading the mystery.

Booked To Die intro-duces Cl i f f Janeway, Denver homicide detec-tive and book collec-tor. Bobby the book scout is murdered, and right away Janeway sus-pects big, rich, and big-oted Jackie Newton of

the crime. T h e r e aren’t a lot of clues to B o b b y ’ s murder as J a n e w a y questions the book s e l l e r s w h o b u y books from B o b b y , and there a r e none that lead to Jackie N e w t o n . J a n e w a y gets side-t r a c k e d

from time to time since his hobby is book col-lecting, and I got side-tracked, too, picturing all those pristine first editions that Janeway mentions.

When he’s not distract-ed by the books, Janeway is increasingly frustrated by the case. There are no clues, and no discern-ible reason why a book scout living in a dump would be murdered . And for Janeway there’s nothing to tie Newton to Bobby’s murder. Hap-pily for this reader (if not for Janeway) Janeway’s obsession with Newton is his undoing, and he resigns from the police force and begins life as a bookman. He finds a store, buys books, and makes a living, as Janeway puts it “in the work I’d been born for.” All’s right with Janeway’s world until he’s pulled back into the investiga-tion of Bobby Westfall’s

murder. Dunning’s writing is

engrossing. There are no let-downs, no tedious intervals, just crisp dia-logue and well-drawn characters, and authors and titles strewn like little prizes throughout the pages. Dunning, Janeway, and I agree that Thomas Harris’ Si-lence Of The Lambs was the best thriller of its day, and that “the good guys, like Melville, might die and be forgotten with the rest, but they always come back.” Some fans of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe mysteries read all the books that Wolfe reads in the stories, and fans of John Dunning’s Book-man series would have a ball reading all the books and authors mentioned in Booked To Die.

Remember when you were a kid and you didn’t want to sleep because you were scared to miss out on something? Then we become adults and we all stagger around haggardly like sleep de-prived zombies and all we want is to actually sleep. Take a look at people’s morning habits: coffee, soda and grum-bling. We are stretched too thin with our time, overbooked with our ac-tivities and just generally never taking any time to slow down; least of all sleep. Going further, look at the rise of energy drinks like Red bull or 5 Hour Energy. We are some tired people.

The problem is that a lack of sleep is very det-rimental to your health. The magazine Preven-tion (prevention.com) presented a synopsis of some interesting re-search articles indicat-ing findings between lack of sleep and disease:

- Researchers at the West Virginia University School of Medicine found a link with cardiovascu-lar disease. (Published in the Journal of Sleep.)

- Pub l i shed in the Journal of Diabetes in 2011 was research from the U of Chicago and Northwestern University demonstrating problems for diabetics who under sleep.

- Tohoku University Graduate School of Med-icine in Japan found that women sleeping less 6 hours had a 62% higher risk of breast cancer while women sleeping more than 9 hours had a 28% lower risk.

- Researchers from the New England Research Institute in Watertown, MA found a link between too little sleep and uri-nary problems.

Your Health is in Your Hands

by Dr. graham Moneysmith, Dc.Contributing Writer

- Case Western Univer-sity researchers found a link with increased colorectal polyps which could potentially become cancerous.

- In a 10 year study from the University of Copenhagen looking at 16,000 people a connec-tion between lack of sleep and an increased risk of mortality was found.

These are huge find-ings. These studies don’t even get into the way that sleep deprivation affects mood, daily functional-ity and weight. (Want to drop a few pounds? Sim-ply sleep more.) Sleep is when your body repairs and heals. Sleep is when your body consolidates memory. It is more than a rest period, sleep is a rebuilding period.

The key to good sleep is experiencing all 5 phas-es of the sleep cycle. The most important be-ing the last two: deep sleep and REM (rapid eye movement) phases. Dur-ing REM sleep the body becomes more and more relaxed and the brain be-comes more active. The voluntary muscles even become paralyzed. This is where dreaming oc-curs. If you are a person who tosses and turns all night and/or sleeps dreamlessly perhaps you are not reaching REM sleep. If this is the case you are missing out on the true healing and re-storative powers of sleep. Maybe you are a person who burns the candle at both ends, thus not sleeping enough hours and not experiencing enough REM cycles in a given night. Either way, missing out on deep, good sleep will leave you vulnerable to not just be-ing groggy, but as afore-mentioned, many health risks.

Finding your way to REM sleep may be as simple as these easy steps: 1) Actually sleep, simple I know, but how many of us are simply

going to bed too late or cramming too much into a day? It’s not worth your health. Set aside time to sleep. 2) Get rid of the TV/computer from your bedroom. The blue light from our modern enter-tainment devices inter-rupt the sleep hormone melatonin, which allows the body to relax enough to sleep. Even cell phone lights and alarm clock lights could have this ef-fect. Block out or remove all of these. 3) Exercise daily. This will help you sleep better. Isn’t exer-cise an answer to almost every physical problem? 4) Consuming caffeine too late in the day or alcohol within 2 hours of bedtime. 5) Too much stress, which I realize is a complex problem, but add this to the list of stress damages. Howev-er, if you follow the other steps listed, you could see your stress decrease naturally as you sleep and exercise more.

The bottom line is that our bodies need sleep. For the sake of our phys-ical and emotional well-being we need good qual-ity sleep and the right quantity of sleep. This will require us to take re-sponsibility for ourselves and our life choices. It’s amazing that the answer to many of our health concerns and questions may, ultimately, be as simple as sleeping on it.

Everyone is born with about 100 billion brain cells. We form new con-nections between these cells throughout life, but the rate is particularly high when we’re young. Since those connections facilitate thinking and learning, parents who want to help give their children an intellectual edge should consider the brain-healthy choices they make each day.

“Making the effort to nurture your child’s brain

with both proper nutri-ents and varied experi-ences, especially when they are young and devel-oping at such a fast rate, is crucial,” says speech pathologist Lauren Zimet, founder of Early Insights, LLC, and an expert on childhood brain develop-ment. “The connections in brain circuitry can be enhanced through the en-vironments and activities a child is exposed to, and participates in, as well as the nutrients a child con-sumes.”

Zimet offers five tips to help parents enhance healthy brain develop-ment in their children, positioning them for suc-cess in school today, and well into their future:

1. Select a rainbow It’s no secret that the

benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables are numerous, but thanks to the results of ongoing research, you can confidently add brain health to that list. Encour-age your children to eat a colorful array of produce (organic when possible) each day so they get the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals needed to

nourish and protect their growing brains. If your child is resistant to eating produce, encourage them to come shopping with you and select something new to try. Kids are more likely to eat what they have selected themselves.

2. Relax the right way While it’s true that exer-

cise boosts brain power, it’s also important to teach children how to relax. Balancing activity with relaxation is important so that kids don’t get too stressed, which can im-pact the brain’s develop-ment and lead to learning and behavior problems. Teaching children early on the benefit of setting goals, working towards those goals, and giving their brain and body time to relax are important life skills. When it’s time to relax, skip the TV and teach your child that tak-ing a walk in nature, read-ing a book or drawing are great ways to unwind. Deep breathing is also an excellent practice to teach children of all ages.

THE RESULTS OUR PATIENTS

ARE TALKING ABOUT... “Last Fall I was so weak I felt close to death. My thyroid

was failing and Dr. Fink’s assessments agreed with

multiple other kinds of tests. This agreement is a powerful

proof of the verifiability of his methods, testing and

diagnosis of ‘prescriptives.’

I am doing so much better now and am grateful to be

improving with natural food based supplements rather

than pharmaceuticals that may have harsh side affects.”

—Veronica Say

“For years I had migraine headaches, neck and right

hip pain. Constipation was a life style. I had spent years

receiving chiropractic care. No one Doctor ever treated

the ‘whole me.’

I literally feel like a new person. No more migraines,

my neck pain is gone, hip pain occasional and minimal.

Thanks to supplements and nutritional education my body

is functioning as it was intended. I am very thankful and

grateful for the dedication and expertise of this office. They

have given me the opportunity to live a healthy life style.”

food Omega-3 essential fat-

ty acids are critical to a child’s brain development. They are called “essential” because we need them for optimal health. The problem is that our bod-ies cannot manufacture them and we can only get

ting their children to take the supplements.

4. Happy brains are hydrated brains

Staying hydrated is im-portant for growing brains and bodies. Water can improve energy, increase mental and physical per-formance, remove toxins and waste from the body, and keep skin healthy and glowing. Based on the tril-lions of cells in the body that need water to func-tion, most nutritionists agree that children need more, not less H20. To es-timate how many ounces

of water your child should drink daily, divide his or her weight in half and aim for that number of ounces per day.

5. Be a positive sup-port system early on

Learning is a complex process, but children will be more open to trying new things when they know their parents be-lieve in them. Acknowl-edging effort, instead of the outcome, strengthens a child’s belief in himself or herself. Teaching goal setting, prioritizing ac-tivities and working off of check lists exercises the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the brain. Experimen-tation through trial and error is the way the brain learns best.

“Giving your child’s brain what it needs to grow strong can help him or her at school and in all social situations,” adds Zimet. “Utilizing these tips is a great way to help posi-tion your child for success in the coming school year, and beyond.”

Experts agree that the safest, most reliable source of the most impor-tant essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA) is a high quality fish oil supple-ment.

touR BY BoAt oR CAR WOLFEBORO - Ever won-

der what the magnificent boathouses of Lake Win-nipesaukee look like in-side? Now is your chance to see some of the most beautiful and historic boat houses on the lake either by vintage boat or by car. The New Hamp-shire Boat Museum will host i ts Sixth Annu-al Boathouse Tour on

Lake Winnipesaukee on Thursday, August 16, with a rain date of Fri-day, August 17. Tickets are available for sale at the Museum by calling 603-569-4554 or on line at www.nhbm.org.

“Due to popular de-mand, we’ve expanded the number of wooden boats for the water tour to twelve,” stated Kris-tin Isley, the Boathouse Tour Chair. “The Boat-house Tour has become one of the Museum’s most popular events and funds raised from the tour assist the Muse-um’s general operating fund.”

Those who opt to take the tour by water will be driven in twelve vintage boats including some of the original Lake Win-nipesaukee ride boats. The water tours will leave at 9am and at 1pm from one of two locations: the landing at Saw Mill Marina (33 Bay Street, Wolfeboro), or the Wolfe-boro Corinthian Yacht Club(12 Nancy’s Way, off Main Street in downtown Wolfeboro). Water tour

tickets are $105 for not-yet members and $94.50 for Museum members. Tickets sell out each year, so everyone is en-couraged to purchase tickets as soon as pos-sible.

If a leisurely land tour is your preference, guests can take a tour in their own cars throughout the day from 9am until 4pm. Detailed maps with driving directions can be picked up at the Muse-um that morning, which will open early at 9am to accommodate tour participants. Each boat-house location has park-ing easily available with signage clearly marking the site.

Land tour tickets are $40 for not-yet Muse-um members and $36 for Museum members. Land tickets can be pur-chased up to the day of the event or in advance by calling the Museum at 569-4554 or on line at www.nhbm.org.

The ticket price for the tour includes free ad-mission to the Museum.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro will host its Sixth Annual Boathouse Tour on Lake Winnipesaukee on Thursday, August 16, with a rain date of Friday, August 17. See some of the most beautiful and historic boat houses on the lake either by vintage boat or by car.

Boathouses on the tour this year are located on Lake Winnipesau-kee in the Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro areas and will include boathouses with a variety of styles and stories behind each of them. Docents will be on hand to discuss the boats and the boat-house histories. A spe-cial treat for the water tour is two bonus island camp locations. Car tour visitors will have their own bonus car location that features a collection of vintage canoes and cars.

Boathouses that dot our shores have often held a certain mystery to those who cruise by them. Their utilitarian purpose was important

to the early twentieth century cottagers. Fami-l ies would spend the summer here and, with few roads, boats were their primary mode of transportation.

Today wooden boat owners covet their boat-house as a means to pro-tect their vessels from

constant exposure to the elements. In an ef-fort to draw attention to this special genre’ of architecture, some very generous owners are supporting the Museum with an invitation to take a peek inside their water garages.

dAYlilies ARen’t Just “dAYlilies” AnYMoRe

by Dotty DewittContributing Writer

Though we appreciate the old reliable daylilies, mostly in orange and yel-low, today we can choose from a great variety of colors and color combi-nations.

There are now ruffled edges, fragrances, dif-ferent shapes and sizes, heights and patterns, etc., etc.

Your garden can now grow daylilies from the end of May through Octo-ber (unless we get a hard frost). Many are long bloomers or rebloomers.

Hybridizers continue to improve this marvelous, versatile plant, so it’s no wonder it continues to be the worlds most popular perennial.

“Carlson’s Raiders; 2nd Marine Raiders Battalion”TUESDAY, JULY 31ST AT THE WRIGHT MUSEUM

HAROLD SHEFFIELD recounts his service with the elite division of the Marine Corps, the “Raiders” - the “best of the best” – the most aggressive, experienced and innovative fighters to serve in the Pacific island campaigns. When it was too tough for the Marines, the Raiders would go!

Enlisting in the Marine Corps in 1942, right after Pearl Harbor, Sheffield served on Tulagi and Guadalcanal. Later transferred to New Caledonia where he joined the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, Sheffield fought on the islands of Emireau and Bougainville.

Malkin from 8based Broadway Bank, a now-defunct financial institution that loaned tens of millions of dollars to convicted mafia felons and faced bankruptcy after decades of engag-ing in risky, high-flying behavior. It’s the place where Obama parked his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign funds. And it’s the same place where a mutual friend of Obama

and Giannoulias -- con-victed Obama fundraiser and slumlord Tony Rezko -- used to bounce nearly $500,000 in bad checks written to Las Vegas ca-sinos.

Chicago’s former inspec-tor general blasted Gian-noulias and his family for tapping $70 million worth of dividends in 2007 and 2008 as the real estate crash loomed. Broadway Bank was sitting on an estimated $250 million in bad loans. The cost to taxpayers after the bank was shut down two years ago: an estimated $390 million.

ShoreBank. The “pro-gressive” Chicago-based community development bank, a “green” financial institution whose mission was to “create econom-ic equity and a healthy environment,” folded in August 2010. Obama personally had endorsed the politically connected bank and appeared in a video promoting its Ke-nyan microlending proj-ect. But it was a doomed social justice experiment. After regulators shut it down, Obama crony com-panies including Bank of American and Goldman Sachs took over the mess courtesy of taxpayer sub-sidies.

Coun t r yw ide/Bank of America. Earlier this month, the House Over-sight and Government Reform Committee re-leased a report on cor-ruption-plagued Coun-trywide Financial Corp., which was bailed out by taxpayer-bailed-out Bank of America. The House investigation confirmed the notorious favor-trad-ing scheme, which in-volved sweetheart home loan deals for members of Congress and their staff, top government officials and executives of doomed mortgage giant Fannie Mae.

“These relationships helped (Countrywide CEO and Democratic subprime loan king Angelo) Mozilo increase his own compa-ny’s profits while dump-ing the risk of bad loans on taxpayers,” according to the new report. Mozilo copped a $67.5 million plea to avert a high-stakes

public trial in the heat of the 2010 midterm elec-tion season. Since then, Obama’s Justice Depart-ment has taken no action to prosecute Countrywide officials on federal bribery charges.

Among the influence-peddling operation’s most prominent benef ic ia-ries: the aforementioned Obama top adviser Jim Johnson, who accepted more than $7 million in below-market-rate Coun-trywide loans, and former Senate Banking Commit-tee Chairman Chris Dodd, whose ill-fated 2010 re-election bid was person-ally endorsed by Obama. Obama stood by Dodd even as sordid details of his two discounted Coun-trywide loans and record Countrywide PAC dona-tions mounted.

Bank of America, which raked in $45 billion in Obama-supported TARP bailout funds and billions more in secret emergency federal loans, footed the $50 million restitution payment bill for Mozilo and another Countrywide official. In 2008, BofA’s political action committee gave its biggest contribu-tions to Obama, total-ing $421,000. And as I noted in January, Bank of America supplied the Democrats with a $15 million revolving line of credit, along with an ad-ditional $17 million loan during the 2010 mid-terms.

Embarrassed by the party’s ties to shady Bank of America, progressives are now trying to rebrand the Bank of America Sta-dium in Charlotte, N.C., where Obama will give his nomination acceptance address. They’re refer-ring to it as “Panthers Stadium” instead.

O b a m a ’ s c o p i o u s crooked f r iends and funders are going to need a lot more whitewash than that to cover up their ill-gotten gains.

Metzler from 9tee should run a special fundraising campaign for Team USA in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Rus-sia. Solicit donations for the uniforms Made in the USA. This would reha-bilitate the Olympic Com-mittee’s reputation in the minds of many, would be a great angle to solicit do-nations, and actually also prove its solidarity not only with Team USA, but the American worker.

man. I don’t mind buy-ing a ratty paperback of a book I’ve been search-ing for as long as it’s readable. I cherish my Grosset & Dunlap copy of Rex Stout’s Black Or-chids with the penciled notes by the original owner, “ CWM 9-21-44” as much as I do the Far-rar & Reinhart first edi-tion that I subsequently bought. I love books – their smell, their feel, old books, new books, e-books, audio books, the Colin Dexter Inspector Morse well-worn paper-back reprints, the brand new James R. Benn Billy Boyle hardbacks. I do part with books from

Montague from 13 time to time – boxes to the library, to St. Vin-cent De Paul , to my nieces. But how could I sell them? It would be like selling blood in-stead of giving it to the Red Cross. So I won’t be giving up my day job to become a bookman, but I can live the life vi-cariously in Dunning’s Bookman series. I won’t have to pack a gun, and I’ll get some good tips for finding that long sought-after, impeccable first edition for my shelf.

To increase the like-lihood that birds will come and hopefully nest in your yard, add certain natural features that appeal to them. Hedge-rows, for example, are more likely to attract nesting birds than that “golf course” green look many homeowners try to achieve each year. Twiggy or thorny shrubs like holly or virburnum are attractive to many birds as are briar patch-es, brambles and brush heaps.

Every section of the country has unique cli-mate and soil conditions that will determine your choice of what to plant. As much as possible, try to incorporate varieties of trees and shrubs that are indigenous to your region. These native plants have had cen-turies to adapt to local environments and will prove hardier and more disease-resistant than exotic varieties. Look

around at the conditions in which your natural vegetation grows. Then, choose plants appropri-ate to your property. For instance you would want to plant willows in wet areas and pines in the open, sunny areas.

The time you invest in research and plan-ning before you turn one shovel of dirt assures that the tallest trees don’t wind up in the center of your yard. Di-verse plantings, placed on different levels, will provide greater attrac-tiveness to both birds and birders. Minimiz-ing problems with plant disease and pest control are also important con-tributing factors when a site plan is developed. Tall trees, large shrubs, small bushes and ground cover create natural lay-ers to supply the proper habitat in small spaces.

By varying the height of growing things, you accommodate bird spe-cies that spend most of their time on the ground as well as those that prefer low, bushy cover or treetops. Plant va-riety also helps to meet wildlife needs through all four seasons of the year.

As a main element of

Patience is more than a virtue when it comes to creat-ing a backyard habitat, it is a necessity. But over time, with careful attention, you will find your property has come alive with the sights and sounds of birds and oth-er wildlife.

sowell from 9happened, it can be too late, because their free-dom is gone. All the high-flown talk about how people who are successful in business should “give back” to the community that created the things that facilitated their success is, again, something that sounds plausible to people who do not stop and think through what is being said. After years of dumbed-down education, that apparently includes a lot of people. Take Obama’s example of the business that ben-efits from being able to ship their products on roads that the government built. How does that create a need to “give back”? Did the taxpayers, in-cluding business taxpay-ers, not pay for that road when it was built? Why should they have to pay for it twice? What about the work-ers that businesses hire, whose education is usu-ally created in govern-ment-financed schools? The government doesn’t have any wealth of its own, except what it takes from taxpayers, whether individuals or businesses. They have already paid for that education. It is not a gift that they have to “give

back” by letting politicians take more of their money and freedom. When businesses hire highly educated people, such as chemists or engi-neers, competition in the labor market forces them to pay higher salaries for people with longer years of valuable education. That education is not a govern-ment gift to the employers. It is paid for while it is be-ing created in schools and universities, and it is paid for in higher salaries when highly educated people are hired. One of the tricks of pro-fessional magicians is to distract the audience’s at-tention from what they are doing while they are creat-ing an illusion of magic.

Pious talk about “giving back” distracts our atten-tion from the cold fact that politicians are taking away more and more of our money and our freedom. Even the envy that politi-cians stir up against “the rich” is highly focussed on those particular high income-earners whose decisions the politicians want to take over. Others in sports or entertainment can make far more money than the highest paid cor-porate executive, but there is no way that politicians can take over the roles of Roger Federer or Oprah Winfrey, so highly paid sports stars or entertain-ers are never accused of “greed.” If we are so easily dis-

tracted by self-serving political rhetoric, we are not only going to see our money, but our freedom, increasingly taken away from us by slick-talking politicians, including our current slick-talker-in-chief in the White House. Thomas Sowell is a senior

Say Hello to HAMBONE If you like extraordinarily large dogs, and you are familiar with the Bull Mastiff breed, then waste not another second to visit New Hampshire Humane Society to meet HAMBONE!A word of caution – Hambone - so named due to his supreme interest in all things ham, is one of those “Ferrari-type” canines. Not as in he likes to ride around in that fabulously styled Italian job, he probably wouldn’t fit anyway, but rather that to drive a Ferrari, you need superior driving skills. Ergo, to own Hambone, you truly must be a superior dog owner.He’s big, really big, we are training him NOT to jump up on folks –a 100lb dog is a force of nature. He’s puppy like in his play – but he is aware of his supersized body. He requires room, and exercise, but not the kind of running games that will find you pitched on your chin in the dirt! No cats please, and no young children. But, those that love the Mastiff breed, will instantly fall in love. Shelter is open Tuesday-Saturday call 603-524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org

In 1959, The Carrs sold the property to Richard and Ruth Davis, of Ham-ilton, Ohio, who renamed it The Wolfeboro Inn and opened it year round. It was advertised as: “A charming colonial built in 1812 in the heart of America’s oldest summer resort. Private frontage on beautiful Lake Winnipe-saukee with swimming, boating and water skiing.

American, modified or European plans available. Dining rooms open to the public.”

Only two years later, in 1962, the Davis’ decid-ed to discontinue dining room service to the pub-lic and serve only house guests.

The Davis ’ ran the Inn until 1962 when it was purchased by Paul and Mary McBride. The McBride’s were experi-enced restaurateurs, On May 1st of that year, they opened up to the public

In 1963, The McBride’s began planning construc-tion of a waterfront motel on the property and in 1966 they began to ad-vertise it as The Wolfe-boro Inn and Motel. In 1970, the McBride’s were granted a permit to build a 10x24 foot addition.

In November of 1971 the McBride’s purchased the property next door on Sewall Road, upon which stood Natalie’s Guest House which, in turn, was

once St Cecilia’s Catholic Church. They had it de-molished to make way for their new addition.

In 1974, the McBride’s sold the Inn to Wayne C. Wooley who brought in new ideas like Inter-national Night with four-course dinners as well as some small cast Broadway revues.

It was only a year later, in 1976, that the McBride’s resumed ownership of The Wolfeboro Inn after bid-ding on the property at a mortgagee’s sale.

For the next ten years there were two new own-ers of The Wolfeboro Inn, each one ending with own-ership being reverted back to the McBride’s.

In 1988, the Inn was purchased by a group of investors and was ex-panded with an impres-sive hotel added to the rear and the Wolfe’s Tav-ern set up in the front. There were now 44 guest rooms, including the eight

original rooms. With its new renovations the Inn was now better equipped to handle larger functions like weddings and more.

In 1989, they purchased the excursion boat, The Judge David Sewall, a 65-foot, 43-ton vessel which had a crew of four and could carry up to sixty passengers. Originally built in 1946 as The Long-fellow, the Judge Sewall had its difficulties and sank twice during the

This will quite a sight to behold, with all the beautiful vintage boats and cars and the large crowds. For a special treat, get to the docks early on Saturday morn-ing to watch and listen as the vintage boats arrive under their own power. The sights and sounds will be magnificent.

Century boats will be the honored marque this year and they are ex-pecting a large showing of Century boats, but all antique and clas-sic boats are welcomed. The Peter Ferber poster (See front page) this year will also honor Century boats and the Lake Win-nipesaukee marathon water ski races of the 1960’s, making the turn around the Alton Bay bandstand. The featured boat on the poster is a 21 foot, 1965 Century Resorter named “Satis-faction” and will also be on special display at the boat show.

For participants, don’t miss the Friday after-noon Judging Clinic with a review of the new ACBS judging rules hosted by chief judge, Bo Muller. This will be an open dis-cussion of our ACBS judging rules, and he will take the time to answer all questions and explain

the reasoning behind the rules.

On Friday evening, at the Opening cocktail re-ception and registration, participants can pick up their registration packets and enjoy a social gath-ering with good friends, hors d’oeuvres, live mu-sic and a cash bar. This is also a chance to get the latest updates for the boat show logistics.

Please plan on arriving

early for the boat show on Saturday morning, as they are expecting another large turnout of antique and classic boats. boats.

Spectators are also en-couraged to spend some time strolling through the Field of Dreams for antique and classic boats for sale, located in the Hesky Park area. This is a great opportunity

Even though the visitors start coming about Memo-rial Day, Motorcycle Week seems to be the start of the full summer season here at the Lakes. All summer, we will have motorcyclists as well as people pulling their homes behind them.

We will see an increase of out-of-state visitors, and even visitors from around the world. I have talked with Amish visitors from Ohio and Korean newly-weds from much further!

We will also see an in-crease of college-aged stu-dents and international students who come here on cultural exchanges and to work in the tourist in-dustry.

Summer camps will be full, and there are usu-ally tents popping up at Gunstock and other camp sites.

Then, if it is like other years, the state will decide to fix the roads, slowing traffic even further.

I enjoy all the visitors, and as I see chairs set up alongside the roads, I think others also enjoy seeing what is happening.

There are downsides oth-er than slow traffic - it’s harder to get into your fa-vorite restaurant, and tem-pers are a bit touchier. We pick on the Massachusetts drivers saying they drive too fast, but we who live here have to admit that we are hitting the horn more often as well – and it’s not all the fault of the flatland-ers!

We are blessed to live in a beautiful area, and we are blessed that others want to share it with us.

And so, we open our lives and our businesses.

We also open our church-es. This is not the time to stay away from worship as if it were a job from which we needed a vacation. This

is a time to come and expe-rience a more relaxed time with God, welcoming visi-tors and sharing our faith.

I am always impressed by the Christian motor-cycle groups that set up at the United Methodist Church at the Weirs dur-ing Motorcycle Week. They provide worship and Bibles, childcare and counseling. Churches from all over send cookies to be served with coffee for anyone who needs a break from the hec-tic activities of the week.

“Got Lunch”, operating from the Laconia Congre-gational Church, is sending food home for children in families that rely on school lunches so the children will have food over the sum-mer. Salvation Army and “Hands Across the Table” will continue to provide meals to those who need them, with the support of area churches. Collec-tions for food banks will continue. Churches will change their worship times to accommodate people on vacation or staying on the islands or working in the tourist industries.

Most of us will be spend-ing more time outdoors, whether mowing the grass or hiking the trails.

This is a good time to reflect on God’s beautiful work of creation.

As we sit trapped in traf-fic, take a moment and pray for the people in the cars around you. As you drive around town, look at the ones who are walking and learn more about your neighbors – their needs and their abilities.

Go to a band concert and meet your neighbors. Look at the stars and the fireflies and see the hand of God.

Find a church as you travel and attend a service – experience a new style of worship, and cheer the people who regularly go to that church.

If you have let God lapse in your life, come home.

north from 8halt had an adverse im-pact on U.S. and allied troops in Vietnam. By the time I took command of a rifle platoon along the so-called demilitarized zone later that month, North Vietnamese army troops were flooding across the border, and casualties es-calated accordingly.

Since 1968, there have been numerous “October surprises.” On Oct. 26, 1972, 12 days before the Nixon-McGovern presi-dential election, national security adviser Henry Kissinger, Nixon’s chief negotiator with the North Vietnamese, announced that peace was “at hand” during a White House news conference. Nixon almost swept the ballot, carrying 49 of 50 states, losing only in Massachu-setts.

Conspiracy theorists claim that Ronald Reagan prevented Jimmy Carter from reaping the benefits of an October surprise in 1980 by somehow per-suading Ayatollah Ruhol-

lah Khomeini to delay freeing the 56 American hostages being held in Iran until after the U.S. elections. For those who believe such nonsense, the hostage release -- just minutes after President Reagan’s inauguration -- “confirms” their suspi-cions.

Notably, all of those Oc-tober surprises involved foreign intrigues, unex-pected events in other countries and no small degree of jeopardy for the American people. Whether they actually altered the outcome of any of those elections is debatable. But given the state of world affairs and the abysmal state of our nation’s secu-rity, this year’s presiden-tial campaign presents all manner of October sur-prise opportunities. Here are the top five:

--Syria. Counting on the United Nations to stop the carnage and prevent a bloody sectarian civil war has proved to be a dev-astating mistake. Syria is increasingly likely to

become a catastrophically failed state in a matter of weeks. But neither the Romney campaign nor the Obama campaign appears to have a plan on how to deal with radical Islamists occupying Damascus and acquiring stockpiles of chemical weapons.

--Iran. Sanctions im-posed by the U.N. have utterly failed to deter the ayatollahs from acquir-ing nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them. Tehran’s threats to close the Strait of Hor-muz have driven up the worldwide price of crude oil and Americans’ pain at the pump. The O-Team has dissuaded Israel from military action until after the presidential election -- but after Nov. 6, all bets are off. The Romney cam-paign has yet to explain how Mitt Romney would handle the Iranian threat if he were to become com-mander in chief.

--Latin America. Au-thoritarians Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua aren’t

the only problems south of the border. Mexico, Honduras and Guatema-la are combating narco-terrorists, who threaten civil governance and rule of law with a tidal wave of murder and corrup-tion. Members of the Ira-nian Revolutionary Guard Corps are in Venezuela and Bolivia, and the Chi-nese are now the biggest outside investors in Bra-zil. Both campaigns are mute about their policies for the region.

--China. Beijing now as-serts sovereignty over the entire South China Sea -- and all fishing and miner-al rights therein. Benigno Aquino III, president of the Philippines, has tried and failed to get the attention of the Obama administra-tion, which claims to have a new “Pacific strategy.” The media have yet to ask Romney how he would handle the issue.

--Afghanistan. It’s no longer news to the so-called mainstream media, but even with the Obama drawdown, there are still

more than 85,000 young Americans at war in the shadows of the Hindu Kush. The Afghan army is being handed greater se-curity responsibilities dai-ly. In neighboring nuclear-armed Pakistan, Taliban militants and members of the Haqqani network are trying to acquire man-portable surface-to-air missiles to bring down a planeload of U.S. troops heading home.

This election is sup-posed to be about the economy and jobs. That’s no surprise. But if one or more of these foreign flash points catch fire, it would be nice to know that the commander in chief we hire in November has at least thought about how to put it out.

Here’s Diablo relaxing with me in my hospital bed. That’s not his tail on my arm, but instead it’s a hind leg that he’s kicked up over my arm. He and I were some glad to see one another after our too long separation. He stayed with mall during his long visit. I’ll be back soon and walking on my new prosthetic device! (It’s a very long story which I’ll tell you all someday soon.)

Salome’s Stars HoroscopeARIES (march 21 to April 19) A turn in a relationship upsets the amorous Ar-ian, who is puzzled by Cupid’s romantic antics. Be patient and considerate. The confusion soon will sort itself out.

TAuRuS (April 20 to may 20) It’s a good time for travel-loving Taureans to take off for fun-filled jaunts to new places. And don’t be surprised if Cupid tags along for what could be a very eventful trip.

GEmINI (may 21 to June 20) You ap-pear to be of two minds about continuing a relationship that seems to be riding roughshod over your emotions. A frank talk could help you decide one way or the other.

cANcER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping back from a relationship problem provides a new perspective on how to deal with it. Meanwhile, watch your words. Something said in anger now could backfire later.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A changing

situation makes the Big Cat uneasy. But hold on until things settle down around the 4th. Meanwhile, continue your good work on that still-unfinished project.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A decided improvement in a workplace situation results in an unexpected, but very welcome, added benefit for everyone. Per-sonal relationships also improve.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Money matters remain a bit unsettled but soon will ease into the kind of stability you appreciate. Meanwhile, an expanding social life offers a chance to make new friends.

ScORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Use an unexpected roadblock in your mon-etary dealings to reassess your financial plans and make changes, if necessary. It soon will be smooth sailing again.

SAGITTARIuS (November 22 to decem-ber 21) Aspects of love are strong for both single and paired Sagittarians. Professional

dealings also thrive under the Sag’s clever handling of difficult situations.

cAPRIcORN (december 22 to Janu-ary 19) Set a realistic goal and follow it through to completion. Remember: You’re more likely to impress the right people with one well-done job than with lots of jobs left undone.

AQuARIuS (January 20 to February 18) You like to plan ahead. That’s fine. But be prepared to make some changes because of an unsettled period that in-fluences your aspects through the 4th.

PIScES (February 19 to march 20) A brief phase of instability affects your usual work cycle. Use the time to catch up on chores around the house or office. Things settle down soon after the 4th.

BORN THIS wEEK: You love being the center of attention and probably would be a big success in show business.

On Sunday, August 12th, all are invited to participate in a Paddlefest at Leavitt Beach in Meredith.

The Paddlefest is a fundrais-ing event to benefit the Thoracic Oncology Department at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

The Paddle Fest is being orga-nized by Beth Ann Salzman and her daughter, Lori.

“Lung Cancer is the number one cancer killer of both women and men,” said Salzman. “Many non-smoking, young women are coming down with the disease. The mortality rate is about 85 percent and in breast cancer is about fifteen percent. I am connected to The Jeni Fund A 501(c)3 with the sole purpose of raising money for research at Dana Farber. Jeni Saltzman was a young mom who lost her battle with cancer.”

The Salzman’s participated in a Paddlefest in Boston last year and decided to organize one closer to home.

The Paddle Fest starts at 10am and will have two differ-

the most money.Radio station MIX94.1 will be

on hand to broadcast the event live.

It is $5 to register for the Paddlefest or $25 with a com-mitment to raise at least $50 more.
