other expenses. He was a very busy man! Yesterday was Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day off, so he walked up Main street to visit his mother Sarah, who lived in what is now known as the Clark House in Wolfeboro. She was very happy to see him.

This story is based on a recently discovered set of financial records for the Lady of the Lake steamboat, left by her clerk Herbert Rogers, along with a diary left by his mother Sarah. Some dates and event sequences have been altered.

Herbert Rogers rolled out of his berth on the Lady of the Lake steamboat at 3:00 in the morning. It was Monday, Aug. 3, 1885, the beginning of high season, and he had a lot to do. Herbert was the clerk of the boat, and was responsible for all her financial transactions. He collected money from passengers for boat

To the Editor: Everyone should watch the two video clips made public, of the pro-life actors posing as buyers for fetal organs; seeking to purchase them from Planned Parenthood. In one of the clips they are discussing how they might best kill the unborn babies in order to get the desired organs. People, come on! If Planned Parenthood broke any laws or not, are we too dull of understanding to recognize the ghoulishness of this activity of Planned Parenthood. Do we need something to be against our corrupt laws before our conscience kicks in? Are we too depraved to want to change our laws to reflect what we know to be morally right? To put this into a correct moral context sometimes you need to view a thing in a way in which you have no personal stake in it. Put these videos in the context of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel, or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a reader, movie. Who in these videos would you recognize as the ghoulish characters if they were in such a novel. John Demakowski Franklin, NH.

To the Editor: Kathryn Steinle shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dead. Joshua Wilkerson, Mirta Rivera, Casey Chadwick, Rodney Johnson, Javier Vega Jr., Jamiel Shaw Jr., and over 25,000 more Americans shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dead either. They were all killed by illegal aliens

Our Story

who shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been here. Those Americans died and millions of others were raped, robbed, battered, kidnapped, impoverished, or otherwise victimized because greedy Washington Democrat and Republican politicians and special interest groups care more about their own power and wealth than the well-being of the American people. Illegal immigration beneficiaries repeatedly lie about its benefits for our country, e.g., doing jobs Americans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, lawabiding, tax-paying, etc. American workers do all jobs: waiters, housekeeping, crop picking, garbage collecting, ditch digging, construction, cleaningout septic tanks, etc. The vast majority of workers in all but a very few job categories are American citizens. More Americans would be working and selfsupporting if immigrants didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take jobs and drive down wages. Despite false claims to the contrary, illegal aliens commit crimes at a higher rate than American citizens. For example, citing FBI data to try to counter Donald Trump, Rupert Murdock claimed that there are 2,000,000 jailed Americans compared to â&#x20AC;&#x153;onlyâ&#x20AC;? 267,000 illegal aliens. A 2011 GAO report claims there are 249,000 jailed illegal aliens. (To support the politicians, states and the Federal government hide illegal alien crime statistics.) Whichever is correct, since there are about 30 times as many Americans as illegal aliens, the

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Weirs Times and Touristsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper which are taken from Calvertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic publication.

illegal alien crime rate is 2 to 3 times the rate of American citizens. Frankly, the illegal alien crime rate is irrelevant! We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate ANY extra murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, kidnappings, etc.! Politicians say illegal aliens canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get welfare, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lie. Illegals are only (theoretically) restricted from getting Federal means-tested welfare. Illegals get State, local and other Federal benefits: free medical treatment, free child education, and maybe housing, food stamps, etc. On average each illegal alien household annually receives about $15,000 in taxpayer provided benefits more than they pay in taxes. Illegal immigration is one of the reasons the rich are getting richer while the rest of us are getting poorer. The beneficiaries of illegal immigration live in protected environments and send their children to private schools. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle and lower income Americans who suffer from illegal immigration. Presidential candidates, e.g., Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, who want to reward illegal aliens by letting them stay here, ignore the harm illegals do to most Americans. Thus voters need to consider other candidates if they really want middle and lower income Americans to be safer, freer, and have more opportunities for better jobs, incomes, and lives.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Term Limits

Weirs Times Editor

Last week’s big brouhaha over a “bias free language guide” published by someone at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) certainly had a lot of tongues wagging. It listed many common, everyday terms that we use and declared them “problematic” and then proceeded to include the now politically correct preferred alternatives. For example: a person could not be referred to as “overweight” but instead “a person of size”; “foreigners” must now be called “International People”; “Freshmen” are now “First Year Students” (I would have liked “Freshpeople”); “housewife” is no good any longer, though I didn’t see an offered alternative. Perhaps the one that has caused the loudest noise is that it is now considered offensive to call someone an “American”, they should now be “U.S. Citizen.” The list goes on and on… and on and on…and on and on. To a certain extent, I can understand people’s outrage and I agree that, for the most part, many of these words considered “problematic” are certainly stretching things a bit and even bothersome. Still, I believe there are some words which are used indiscriminately that do need to have more specific clarifications when uttered. For example, the word

to operate as a civilized society. Whether or not we like to admit it, we have all been on both sides; we have been the “idiots” as well as the “idioter” (those who quietly call others idiot under their breath) and even though some may insist that they would never use such terms in the first place (and you know who you are) it is time that we all are placed in the correct “idiot” level (and other terms) based on our actions and not all grouped together. It is time we all just got along. ******** I would be remiss if I didn’t also touch on the term “Flatlander” which some have been fighting to be changed to the more PC “Those from away.” (Of course, many natives don’t use the term “Flatlander” but usually one of the terms mentioned earlier in this column.) As a Flatlander who has lived here now for thirty years and has dedicated my life (well at least a couple of hours a week) to the cause of the Flatlander, I have to disagree with this designation. Instead I would suggest my own “Flatlander Hierarchy” which I created years ago to correctly identify Flatlanders based on their time spent in New Hampshire. I don’t have time to get into all the details with the space I have left, but you can find it (Shameless Self Promotion) in my book “The Flatlander Chronicles” which you can order at my website www.BrendanTSmith. com along with (Even More Shameless) my new book “The Best Of A F.O.O.L In New Hampshire.” Brendan appreciates your comments which can be sent to brendan@weirs. com

“jerk” “Jerk” is used by many of us to describe a wide variety of people. From someone who cuts in front of use at the supermarket checkout to someone who almost wipes us out on the highway when they switch lanes without looking. Obviously the level of true endangerment to our lives is completely different and yet we use the same term to describe both. I would suggest that from here on in we would call those on the level of supermarket line intruder the well-worn “jerk” while those on the level of someone who threatens our daily lives with inconsiderate and dangerous actions should now be called a “Major Jerk.” Then there is the widely used term “idiot” which we bestow equally on someone who does not get the correct answer on a TV game show (only if we knew the answer, of course) as well as the guy on the news who attached his propane tank incorrectly and blew up his entire neighborhood. In these cases, and cases like them, I suggest that those in the former category must now be called the familiar “Idiots” while those in the latter more dangerous category now be referred to by all as “Stupid Idiots.” I realize that for some of you the term “Stupid Idiot” is something you may have already been using on a daily basis to explain both levels of “idiot” but in fairness to all, I am asking you to try and make this change for the good of all mankind. The same rules for designating the appropriate level in using these terms and others like “moron”, “knucklehead”,“dummy” “imbecile”, “bonehead” and “nitwit” are necessary for us to be fair and

Look Who’s Coddling Denver’s Social Justice Jerks “All cops are bastards!” “ F * * k cops!” “This is what white supremacy looks like!” On a tranby Michelle Malkin quil Sunday Syndicated Columnist afternoon in Denver, hatemongering zealots hijacked a rally held by citizens and families of fallen police officers, who had gathered to pay tribute to Colorado’s honorable men and women in blue. The event organizer, local businessman Ron MacLachlan, followed all the rules and obtained a city permit. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a proclamation declaring July 19 Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. The idea, MacLachlan explained to local reporters, was to show his teenage children and other young people the myriad positive contributions of those who protect and serve. The rally was supposed to be a counterbalance to the poisonous post-Ferguson propaganda that has cast all cops as antagonists. Instead, a mob of anarchists and social justice jerks (who didn’t bother obtaining a permit) held another profane seminar on intolerance. Rally attendee Monica Goodfellow -- the wife of a retired Denver Police veteran who served 35 years and the mother of a rookie Denver Police officer -- told me the grievance grifters were “marching, screaming their vile chants and waving flags” that bore their well-worn “F**k the police” slogan. Then they bullied the relatives of police officers killed in the line

of duty over a loudspeaker by bellowing: “Cops are your enemies!” Keepin’ it classy, as always. “There were families at the rally with young children who had to stand and watch the disgusting scene,” Goodfellow added. “There were uniformed (Denver Police Department) officers standing at the perimeter watching, and (they) did nothing to stop the protesters or move them to another area so we could hold our rally without harassment.” Were the cops ordered to stand down by Denver’s liberal city leaders? It wouldn’t be the first time. Back in February, rank-andfile officers and their families erupted in fury after DPD’s top brass forbade their own men and women in uniform from stopping two thugs who brazenly defaced a hallowed memorial for fallen officers. Both the Fraternal Order of Police and the Denver Police Protective Association called for the resignations of Denver Police Chief Robert White and city director of public safety Stephanie O’Malley. The FOP reported that officers “were forced to watch as the vandals poured red paint on the memorial to fallen officers, spray-painted obscene slogans in the plaza and pasted stickers with a death threat for one officer.” The mobsters ripped down the American flag flying over the memorial and then spat and stomped on it. Several patriotic officers who sought to replace the desecrated flag (including one cop who had served in the Marines) were reprimanded and interrogated by command staff for doing so, according to the FOP.

Stop Feeding The Beast

Despite the many grotesque videos swirling on the net depicting Planned Parenthood trafficking in the sale of aborted baby by Jane Cormier body parts, there Hooksett, NH. are still plenty of folks who are in denial. Planned Parenthood has driven the media war for so long, many people are simply misinformed regarding what Planned Parenthood is all about. Here are some important facts which you may find enlightening. Planned Parenthood (PP) uses women and their preborn children for profit. PP had a revenue of $1.3 billion in 2013. This includes over $500 million TAXPAYER dollars in subsidizing abortion here in America. (Progressives will say NO money goes toward “abortion”, but PP just moves the money around. Of course, taxpayer dollars are being See malkin on 22 used in subsidy of abortion. It is

illogical to think otherwise!) Abortions are the BIG money maker for PP, which is why affiliates have quotas and promote the increase of numbers of abortions using an aggressive, “follow the patient” business model. PP makes ONE adoption referral for every 174 abortions. It is all about money – it’s NOT about true “choice”. And adoption nets PP zero dollars. Commonsense tells you, abortion is what they market. Over 94% of PP services to pregnant women are ABORTION services. The likelihood of a pregnant women walking out of PP with her baby alive is nearly zero. The current PP claim that only 3% of services rendered is ABORTIONrelated is totally inaccurate. Their own 2013 Annual Report refutes this 3% number which is pushed by a complicit media. (Don’t allow this false info to go unchallenged.) PP committed over 320,000 abortions in 2013 making them See cormier on 32

In NH, 100 = 94

The purchasing power of $100 is just $94.43 in New Hampshire according to a recent study by Ken Gorrell Northfield, NH. by the Tax Foundation. In neighboring Maine, that same $100 could buy $102.35 worth of goods. Of the six New England states, Maine and Rhode Island were on the plus side, Vermont was near parity at $99.80, and we joined Massachusetts and Connecticut on the wrong side of the ledger. Every economic analysis has

its limits, but when New Hampshire is closer to California ($89.05) than Maine, something interesting is going on. We rightly pride ourselves as a state that keeps government functioning without sales or income taxes, but what matters day-to-day for most of us is the purchasing power of the cash in our wallets. If we have to earn $105 just to buy $100 worth of goods, we start off each day in the red. Economist Mark Perry took the Tax Foundation data and added a new element: the tax burden. In his analysis, each state’s per capita income was adjusted for both taxes and prices of consumer goods. Not surprisingly, New Hampshire’s position changed only one place, dropping from 9th to 10th.

Russia Blocks Inquiry on Malaysian Airliner Downing UNITED NATIONS—In a cal-

lous but not unexpected move to block an international inquiry on the fate of Malaysian flight by John J. Metzler # 1 7 w h i c h Syndicated Columnist was shot down over Ukraine just a year ago, Russia has vetoed a resolution which would have set up a tribunal to investigate the disaster which killed 298 civilians. The Malaysian civilian airliner, a Boeing 777, was shot down by a Russian supplied BUK missile allegedly fired by Russian-backed separatists fighting the Ukraine government. Moscow blames the Ukrainians for the disaster. Eleven of the Security Council’ s fifteen members backed the draft resolution which would have set up a international tribunal to investigate the tragedy. Besides Russia’s veto, China, Angola and Venezuela predictably abstained on the vote. U.S./UN Ambassador Samantha Power stated bluntly, “Russia has callously disregarded the public outcry in the grieving nations.” The flight which originated in

Amsterdam, was en route in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; a majority of the people killed were Australian or from the Netherlands. Last year following the tragedy, the UN Security Council approved a resolution condemning the incident and demanding that those responsible be brought to justice. The Malaysian sponsored draft resolution, co-sponsored by Australia, Germany, the Netherlands among others included a proposed statute for a “International Criminal Tribunal for Malaysian Airlines Fight MH 17.” Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders stated, “our purpose remains to create a timely, depoliticized and credible mechanism to ensure that the perpetrators face justice and are held to account.” He expressed his “deep disappointment” over the Russian veto to stop the process. Australia’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop offered a searing rebuke to Russia, “In a world with an increasing number of violent terrorist groups and other nonstate actors…it is inconceivable that the Security Council would now walk away from holding to account those who brought down a commercial airplane.” She added, See Metzler on 33

are a state with relatively high per capita income and a low state-level tax burden (some call this the “New Hampshire Advantage”). New York and New Jersey have higher per capita incomes, but their higher tax burdens drop them dramatically in this ranking, placing them well below NH. What is driving our higherthan-average cost of living, and

what can be done about it? Higher income and lower taxes are good, but if our purchasing power is low, working families and retirees will struggle more to get by. As one of the grayest states in the nation, we need to attract and retain working families to help maintain our labor base. And as a matter See gorrell on 22

Documented Irresponsibility People who entered the United States illegally may be called “undocumented” in politically correct circles, but what is all by Thomas Sowell too well documented is Syndicated Columnist the utter irresponsibility of both political parties in dealing with immigration issues. Both Democratic and Republican administrations have left the border with Mexico porous for years -- porous not just for Mexicans but for anybody else, including terrorists from the Middle East. Two very different issues have gotten jumbled together in the political stew called “comprehensive immigration reform.” The first and most fundamental issue is whether we are going to have an immigration policy at all. The second issue is: Just what should that immigration policy be? If we do not control our own border, then we do not have any immigration policy. We may have immigration laws on the books, but if anybody can cross the border that wants to, those laws are just words on paper and a bad joke. Polls showing the surprisingly favorable reactions of some Republican voters to Donald Trump’s irresponsible generalities about immigrants probably reflect many people’s frustrations with politicians’ weasel words on the subject, and politicians’ failure to do anything about a festering problem. The recent murder of Kate

Steinle in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant with multiple felonies and multiple expulsions, followed by multiple illegal returns to this “sanctuary city,” has been galling to many people. One immediate consequence of this outrage has been a drive to pass “Kate’s law” prescribing mandatory prison time for anyone who has been expelled from this country and comes back again illegally. That is overdue. It is a painful sign of the deterioration of respect for law that a new law has to be passed to prevent a “sanctuary city” from obstructing justice, which is already a crime. The larger issue is control of our own borders. We can debate forever whether building a fence is the best way to do that. But too much time has been wasted already. One thing is certain. Building a fence won’t hurt. If other things can be done to secure the border, then do those things as well. The American people deserve some concrete reassurance that Congress is finally getting serious. Donald Trump’s sweeping smear of immigrants does not need to be answered by an equally sweeping celebration of immigrants. Nor should we use the old cop-out that “the truth lies somewhere in between.” The truth is wherever you find it. But too many politicians of both parties do not even want to look for the truth. Instead of holding extensive Congressional hearings, airing all the arguments pro and con on immigration issues, and bringing out all the available facts, some politicians seek to rush through “comprehensive immigration See Sowell on 33

brave military families. Easter Seals NH Military & Veterans Services and the Easter Seals Veterans Count initiative provide help to veterans, service members, and their families all year round. The Veterans Count track record of helping veterans, service members and their families is significant. Since inception in 2007, we have served over 8,600 services members and their families of all eras. A care plan is developed for each client to ensure they receive the help they need to become self-sufficient and to address emergency financial needs such as housing, rent, transportation, fuel assistance, utilities, food, vehicle repair, gasoline, child care, tuition and medical bills. In addition to this financial assistance, Veterans Count helps with suicide prevention, access to mental health care, employment, preventing homelessness and making connections to community resources. You can help too! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to show a military family that you appreciate their service and sacrifice, you can help pitch in any number of ways such as: Bring dinner over to a spouse who is managing a household alone while the service member is deployed. Help a disabled veteran with yard maintenance. Offer to baby sit so a parent can go grocery shopping. Take up a collection at church. Or simply ask

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What do you need? How can I help?â&#x20AC;? Another way to help is by supporting Veterans Count through a financial donation. Gifts of any size are significant to Veterans Count and the people we serve. Together, we can help our bravest and most deserving friends and neighbors get back on their feet! You can also help by attending a Veterans Count fundraising event. More than 30 events are held during the year throughout the state and can be found at www.vetscount. org. We owe it to our service members to continue raising money no matter how long it takes and how much is needed to make sure all of their needs are met. Time has shown that the challenges of deployment can manifest themselves years after service and continue for a lifetime. We are committed to being there for our veterans of all eras as long as they need us. To refer a service member or veteran in need, please call Chrystn Fisher at 603.315.4354.

PET OF THE WEEK CEDRIC Cedric The Entertainer masquerades at New Hampshire Humane Society, proving comic relief for our prospective adopters and to other cats resided therein. He lived a pretty good life with a number of others, until his owner passed away. Arriving in March with a large number of his feline housemates, while they needed time to adjust to shelter life, Cedric took all in stride and immediately settled in. Amazingly, some of the more reserved and shy from this group have found homes, while the longhaired, handsome Cedric remains, holding court in the social room he now calls home. Enjoying a window seat and lots of high vantage points to amuse and frolic, we would much rather he be in a cozy, comfy forever home. Cedric can just as easily entertain you, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind a smaller audience. Cedric is personable and friendly seeking out as much human contact as he can. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind the company of other cats, but has little experience with dogs.If the family dog is calm and respectful with cats, Cedric could well share a new home with the canine too! Please visit and spend some time with him, you will fall in love. Call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org

The $100,000 donation was given by John Warner of Melvin Village, NH. Warner is a member of the Wright Museum Board of Directors, and had served an interim Museum Director prior

to 2013. Dr. Michael Culver, Wright Museum Executive Director, said of the Warner donation: “John’s extraordinarily generous donation is made even more important to the Museum because it has been designated to three important areas requiring our immediate attention. The parking lot renovation and landscaping are essential to our annual August Antique/and or Classic Auto and Motorcycle Show.

Mama Ginger and her litter of 10 pups at two weeks old. Sometimes it can be difficult to notice big changes when they occur in small increments. Occasionally I’ll go three or four weeks without a chance to work on “the farm,” and I always find the changes during those times to be remarkable—a new round pen, a new service road, a new paddock, or a new set of rescued animals. The farm is constantly morphing, improving, growing in its ability to meet the ever changing needs of Earth’s precious creatures who so often find themselves at the mercy of the circumstances of man. One of the most remarkable of these big changes over time is the emergence of the farm as a venue for collecting stray or abandoned pregnant momma dogs from the south, giving them safe harbor, and then finding them loving adoptive homes after giving birth, and of course their pups, too.

by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer

RED FLOPS To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true, then Fenway Park will increasingly resemble an orphanageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or perhaps a funeral home, where people come to pay their respects to deceased love ones. As we enter the dog days of August, the last-place Boston Red Sox remain unworthy of a fan community that has bought almost every available ticket to Fenway games for the past 13 seasons, a fan community that still gives NESN strong TV ratings, and a fan community that continues to buy millions of dollars worth of BoSox merchandise. The incredible fan support from all over New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and beyondâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; has allowed the Red Sox to maintain one of the highest payrolls in baseball. And yet the team also finished in last place a year ago, when a Kansas City Royal clubâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with a payroll that was but a fraction of Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; went to the World Series. Boston also finished last in 2012, after a 2011 season ended disastrously. In the middle of these disappointing yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; incongruouslyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is the improbable World Series triumph of 2013. Where did THAT come from? It came about due to some amazing overachieving and some special energy surrounding the team following the

Should the Red Sox fire manager John Farrell before the end of the season? Boston Marathon bombings. But that aura is long goneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the energy dissipated. Enthusiasm for the Red Sox is indeed waning. Even Big Papi has been hearing boos. So what will the vaunted BoSox management team do now? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great at PR and marketing, but what about some wins on the field? Changing the lineup is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. There needs to be new leadershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which means saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good byeâ&#x20AC;? to manager John Farrell. Farrell was â&#x20AC;&#x153;toast of the townâ&#x20AC;? in 2013, but things just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. A change is needed, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fire the whole team. Joe Cronin managed the Red Sox to the pennant in 1946 but was replaced by Joe McCarthy after the 1947 season. Dick Williams was certainly on top of the world after leading Boston to the Impossible Dream pennant in 1967, but he was fired during the 1969 season. Darrell Johnson took the Sox to a near World Series triumph in 1975, but was fired in 1976. John McNamara similarly had Boston one strike away from a World Series win in 1986, but he was replaced by Joe Morgan less than two years later. Remember Morgan

Magic? The team had a losing record when McNamara was fired in 1988, but the team won TWELVE straight after Morgan took over and went on to finish first. Firing Farrell will show the team and the fans that management is serious about success. And with almost two months to go, some new energy could still push the Sox back into contentionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a 2015 version of Morgan Magic. When Humphrey Bogart said good-bye to Ingrid Bergman in CASABLANCA, he told her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always have Paris!â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to say goodbye to John Farrell. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always have â&#x20AC;&#x153;2013!â&#x20AC;? PARENTS I teach a course for Plymouth State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic administration graduate programâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sports, Society, and Cultures.â&#x20AC;? Students are usually older and have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the trenchesâ&#x20AC;? as coaches and athletic administrators and have plenty of â&#x20AC;&#x153;real worldâ&#x20AC;? experiences and lessons to share. There are countless topics, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;dealing with parentsâ&#x20AC;? takes up extra time.

Robins Chase By Sound, Not Sight by Steve White

Fully Insured

Direct Custom Installer From Soundbars to Complete Custom Home Theater 603-707-9145 SURROUNDSOUNDOFMEREDITH.COM

Contributing Writer

Many people assume that, when the robin runs a short ways on our manicured lawns, stops, and cocks its head, it is listening at each stop to see if it can hear the movement of an earthworm. However, a study of songbird behavior has shown that the robin locates its prey by vision. As any novice fisherman can attest to, earthworms are apt to be close to the surface in wet weather. All the robin needs is a glimpse of a worm and it promptly seizes it and pulls it out of the ground. We can help robins in their pursuit of worms by keeping our lawns well watered in the dry weather and keeping the grass cut. Furthermore, it is very important not to use a chemical called diazanon on your lawn. The chemical not only kills some insect pests but also birds. Its use on golf courses and sod farms has been banned by the FDA. Unfortunately, it is still used widely on private lawns. When you mulch a garden area, you are also assisting your robins in their search for food. The characteristics of mulch provide a moist area that worms are attracted to. Robins catch them by digging into the mulch with their bills. They flick away the debris, swinging their bills first in one direction and then in another. Brown thrashers provide the same entertainment, hence their name. Catching worms in

mulch seems to be easier and more productive for them than running about on the lawn and cocking their heads. We do not recommend you use seed shells as a source of mulch. Birdseed shells give off a noxious gas that is harmful to grass and plant life. It is for this reason that you never add birdseed shells to your compost pile. The best removal method is to bag your shells and add them to your trash barrels. Every backyard birder has a responsibility to rake up under our feeding stations regularly for a healthier environment. Wild birds tend to gather under our bird feeders and old, discarded shells may contain diseases such as conjunctivitis that will have a deadly affect on your birds. Enjoy your birds!

THE RON GOODGAME & DONNA CANNEY 2015 EDUCATION PROGRAM

Next program in the series: Tuesday, August 11 at 7 p.m.

The Homefront: Songs & Stories from World War II – Performed by Judith Black Members $12; non-members $15

The Museum’s hosts weekly education program events through the end of October. Unless otherwise noted, admission costs $8.00 per person for non-members and is free for Wright Museum members, Because of limited seating, we encourage you to make reservations by calling 603-569-1212. All programs begin at 7p.m., unless otherwise noted. The museum’s doors open 1 hour before the program begins.

Judith Black uses World War II-era songs to weave together the story of Eta Bedowsky, a young woman who marries her high-school sweetheart during the early years of the World War II. Bedowsky’s story was commissioned by the US Department of the Interior to commemorate the work of the women who built the M1 Garand rifle at the Springfield Armory to supply the troops for D-Day. Black’s songs offer audiences a slice of life that is often overshadowed by fighting at the war fronts. But without the weapons, machinery, and ammunition produced by a workforce composed primarily of women, the war could not have been won. The songs that make up Eta Bedowsky’s story awaken a world not far behind us and one we still have much to learn about.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 6, 2015

What? You Don’t Feel Safe With Barack & The Republicrats? This column was nearly complete, and we learned that “Rep. Bill Patmon introduces bill to strip state fundby Niel Young Advocates Columnist ing from Planned Parenthood”. The Columbus Dispatch: “At the Ohio Statehouse, a crowd cheered as Rep. Bill Patmon, D-Cleveland, announced plans to introduce a bill that would strip state funding from Planned Parenthood, after secretly recorded videos were released showing a Planned Parenthood official discussing the organizations supplying aborted fetal tissue for medical research.” And then the news Todd Starnes is host of Fox News & Commentary, heard on hundreds of radio stations: Two more Americans have been slaughtered by an illegal alien who had previously been deported; Prudencio Ramirez stands accused of killing his 18 year old girlfriend and her three year old son in Washington State, the TriCity Herald reports. Prosecutors say the victims were shot and then stuffed inside a burning car.It is likely the little boy was burned alive. “How many American children are going to be burned alive before our elected leaders decide to take action? “The Republicans don’t care. They don’t want to stand up to the donor class. The Democrats sure don’t care. They want new voters. Big Business? They want the cheap labor.” THAT IS WHY WE HAVE THE U S CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. You know, for the cheap labor. Now Obama is in on that with the Iran deal

President Obama promised to fundamentally transform America -- and this is how he’s doing it -- by opening up our borders and flooding the nation with millions of illegals. I never did trust that “Transforming” thing. I want to return to the years prior to 9-11-01. Obama would not like that. Life was pretty good. “Law enforcement has essentially been ordered to stand down as our nation has been invaded. “To the nations of the world I say give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free -- not your drunks or your murderers or scheming deadbeats yearning to live off the American taxpayer.” ******** It looks as though I chose the right name for this column that began in 1993. Even the casual observer must have noticed the change of the political winds. Twentytwo years of warning the readers of change that we could detect the increments of change in America. Not pretending to be George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Alexis de Toqueville, or Ayn Rand, we principled common sense conservatives point to the aforementioned as great minds. Have we reached that number of increments it has taken in the past 7 years to be the former once great country of AMERICA? Hussein Obama has more to accomplish if he is to complete the mission of disarming all Americans, perhaps a Federal Police Force, an Internet Czar; the possibilities are endless. How many czars do we have? Those folks saw a great country developing. Then G W Bush and the Democrats to add more misery because of 9-11-01 cre-

ated something we had not experienced in my lifetime, an American President once again was not committed to full victory in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan, with losses in the thousands, and they died in vain! MY children and grandchildren need not ask me “if you knew this was happening why didn’t you do something”, they know I tried. Do they know that happened in your family? ******** Barack Hussein is critical of African leaders, they stay too long! Then Obama says law prevents him from seeking a third term, which according to him, he would win. I don’t doubt that he would. It is easy to understand why Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are doing so well in the polls: They ARE NOT like the others. They believe in telling us who they really are. It is refreshing! A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% of Likely U.S. Voters say they would vote for the president if he ran for a third term. Sixty-three percent (63%) would not. Most Democrats (57%) would VOTE TO GIVE Obama a third term. Ninety-three percent (93%) of Republicans, 68% of voters not affiliated with either major party - and 32% of Democrats - would not. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) Source: The Complete Works of Frederick: “The governments of the great States have two instruments for keeping the people dependent, in fear and obedience: a coarser, the army; and a more refined, the school.”

of policy we should be mindful of basic living costs for those with fixed incomes. Home prices and rents are major drivers in these analyses. The Tax Foundation found that Nebraskans enjoy higher personal income than Californians after adjusting for purchasing power, attributed mostly to the fact that four of the five most expensive housing markets in the nation are in the Golden State and home prices in Nebraska are very low. Nothing that dramatic is happening here, but some combination of consumer expenses - housing, utili-

ties, food, clothing, medical, education – are costing Granite State families more than average. Since we have no broadbased taxes to tinker with, we must look elsewhere to reduce consumer expenses. State government has a role to play in this effort, and we voters should focus them on that task by asking, “What have you done to improve the purchasing power of the money we earn?” Reducing business taxes is one obvious item. After all, businesses don’t really pay taxes – consumers do. Anyone with a lick of economic sense knows that raising

the cost of doing business raises prices and can reduce the incentive to expand and invest in the future. Business regulations and compliance costs also increase prices. Here is where our legislators could make a real difference. How often is New Hampshire’s regulatory burden benchmarked against other states? Do we lead the nation in making ourselves business-friendly? Only imagination and legislation stand in the way. By one measure – occupational licensing – we rank middle of the pack.

quirements (think costs and barriers to entry) on 34 lower-wage occupations. Want to start a hair braiding business? You’ll need a cosmetology license and 1,500 hours of instruction (and $124 in fees). Yet an EMT license requires only 26 days (and a $70 fee). This kind of regulation does not align with public safety concerns and could inhibit people from starting businesses. Our legislators should also investigate how open we are to new technologies that save consumers money. Opternative is a company offering an innovative online eye exam, prescriptions, and inexpensive eyewear, all done from home. Sounds like a great service for working families, saving time, money, and hassle. But not for NH families. This company operates in 25 states. Is there something in RSA 327 that prevents them from helping NH families control the cost of eye exams and glasses? In medicine, insurance, education, business start-ups, and more, technology and innovation are providing employment opportunities and lowering costs. What products and services are offered in other states but not here due only to laws and regulations? Ask your legislators…and tell them to do something about it. In NH, 100 should equal 100 – or more. Ken can be reached at kengorrell@gmail.com

The animosity toward cops in the bowels of liberal Denver’s political bureaucracy runs deep. In a revealing moment of social media candor uncovered this spring by local TV station CBS 4, the daughter of the city’s deputy manager of safety exposed the hostility. Elena Vigil bragged online that her father, Jess, is a “former Chicano rights activist and hater of police” who “obviously hates his job because he has to follow the rules and they’re always skewed towards cops.” Denials abounded. Rank-and-file protests against the city’s anti-law enforcement bias were met with ... nothing. Hickenlooper and Democratic Denver Mayor Michael Hancock are AWOL. This week, politically correct White shook up his department and demoted several commanders for unknown reasons “to take us to the next level as a police agency.” Whatever that means. Bottom line: He’s still in top office after the standdown fiasco, which sent a clear signal to Denver’s social justice jerks that they are the ones in charge. For the men and women in blue in Colorado’s capital city, Goodfellow wants the nation to know: “The city of Denver is a disgusting, intolerant place.” Michelle Malkin is author of the new book “Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs.” Her email address is malkinblog@ gmail.com.

DEAR TOM: Uncompacted fill under a concrete slab -- be it for an entire home, an exterior patio, a front porch or a driveway -- is a recipe for disaster. Concrete is an amazing material, but it has an Achilles heel. Concrete has tremendous compressive strength. This means if you squeeze it, it often takes more than

Sweeps • Stonework Brick Repairs • Liners Caps • Installations Fire Place Makeovers

DEAR TIM: My new home is under construction. I’m in a disagreement with my builder about what’s going to happen under my garage slab. Right now there’s a trench around the inside on all four walls where they had to dig to install the foundation. The center of the garage area is undisturbed dirt and rock that’s been there since the dinosaurs roamed. My builder says he’s just going to fill it in with the dirt he dug out and all will be well. I think that’s a mistake. What should be done? If he does use the dirt, is there a special way to install it? Are there other things that can be done? What would you do? --Tom M., Binghamton, N.Y.

Fully Insured

The dirt and rock in the center of the future garage has been compacted by Mother Nature for eons. But the trenches next to the new foundation require special care by the builder to get the soil to settle. 3,000 or 4,000 pounds of pressure per square inch to get it to crack and fail. But the exact same concrete mix, when you stretch or bend it (engineers call this tension), has on average only onetenth the strength as it has in compression. If uncompacted, or poorly compacted, soil or fill sinks under a slab you end up with a hollow spot. If you drive on this concrete and apply pressure to it, the concrete tries to bend or stretch to conform to the hollow spot. The result is almost always a crack and the concrete slab drops down.

unnecessary damage all the time. You’re correct that the dirt in the center of the garage area is solid fill. Mother Nature, over time, does an amazing job of compacting soils. Rainwater plays an important part of this process. Adding water to fluffed or disturbed soil will go a long way to accelerate natural compaction of soil particles. When I was still actively building, I would go to great lengths to water the fill soil in utility trenches and around the outside of a new home to get the soil to settle faster. Many

a special excursion to Alton Bay for 50 passengers who attended an Advent Camp Meeting. This didn’t sit well with Sarah, and she wrote in her diary - “This is Herbert’s first trip on the boat today on Sunday. I cannot think it is right.” After all, Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest and religious observance. She hoped this would not be a regular occurrence, and noted in her diary after he left that “Herbert did not go out on the boat today!” Herbert returned to the boat in time to meet the Sunday evening train, which dropped off freight and American Express mail to be delivered to towns at the north end of the lake that had no rail service. As Herbert dressed and began his toilet, he could hear Charlie Kelley the engineer and Oscar Lothrop the fireman, who were busy in the engine room getting up steam and preparing the giant walking beam engine for the three round trips of the lake the Lady would make today. One of Herbert’s most important jobs was to make sure they had enough firewood. The Lady burned up almost 500 cords of wood a year (enough to heat a modern house for more than a century!),

Soloman Lovejoy cut lots of it on Bear Island, and Arthur Hanson loaded it onto his barge and boated it to Wolfeborough. Horace Smith cached a lot of wood at the Weirs so the Lady could re-supply during the day. Herbert also owned a woodlot and had cut 91 cords for the Lady the previous winter. He paid himself $4 a cord (about the same as today’s inflation adjusted cost), which was top price at the time.

Poor Oscar had to handle 4 cords (20 tons) of wood each day. As the lowest paid member of the crew, he earned the princely sum of $1/day for his efforts. Herbert completed his toilet and headed for the galley where the cook Hanna Wentworth was fixing breakfast for the crew and dock workers, and preparing “table” service for today’s passengers.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 6, 2015 builder from 23

builders donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take this extra time. Your builder can use the soil he dug out of the ground to fill the trenches back in, but to do it right requires lots of work. A soil engineer can develop a compaction plan that speaks to the amount of soil that can go in the trench at a time (the fancy name for this is a lift), what tool needs to be used to compact the soil and how long the tool needs to be used to get the soil compact. When fill dirt is placed in large amounts for highways and other projects, the fluffed dirt is brought in, spread out in thin layers and then compacted by large machinery designed to compact dirt and rock. The moisture content of the fill dirt is important, as is every other facet of the operation. The same process can be done for smaller jobs like yours. Your builder has all sorts of options if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to all that work. Each has to be studied to see which is the most cost effective. One option is to lay concrete block up off the interior ledge of the footers to just below where the concrete slab will be. These can be spaced at 4-foot intervals

around the interior foundation walls. The concrete slab will rest on these and provide solid support down to the footer. The slab will have to have steel rebar, no less than 1/2 inch in diameter in both directions spaced at 2-foot centers to make this work. The steel bars need to be placed so they line up with the concrete block pilasters. The slab then acts as a bridge between the pilasters and the compact dirt in the center of the garage. The easiest fix to the situation, in my opinion, is to just fill the trenches with self-compacting gravel. This is what I used to do on my jobs. You may be lucky to have a gravel company that has a truck equipped with a conveyor belt that will shoot the gravel in place so very little work has to be done by hand. I was lucky to build in an area where there was abundant rounded sand and gravel. This was created by the massive continental glaciers that covered much of the northeast USA and the upper Midwest about 15,000 years ago. When all that ice melted on its own with no help from

CARE FOR THE LAWN YOUR NEIGHBORS ENVY!

us, it created untold cubic yards of this wonderful rounded gravel. I preferred to use pea gravel for filling trenches like this in garages. This gravel is the size of small green peas and it naturally compacts as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put into a void space. Visit a few local gravel pits in your area to see if they have this small rounded gravel. You can also fill the trenches with a gravel product thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixture of washed sand and different sizes of rounded gravel. This product requires water to get it to naturally compact and you need to install it in layers no thicker than 1 foot at a time. If you have to use crushed stone, be aware that it requires mechanical compaction so the pieces of gravel interlock. This extra step is costly and it must be done correctly so your slab never fails.

tiful Lake Winnipesaukee in 1885. -To Be Continued Next Week. The author wishes to thank Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s granddaughter Dianne Rogers Quayle for making this story possible. David Warren will be giving a special presentation on The Lady of The Lake on Wednesday, August 12th at 7pm at the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum in the Weirs. This interesting program is free to Museum members and $5 for other. You can call 603-366-5950 to reserve a spot.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;diveâ&#x20AC;?) located in downtown Wolfeborough, or at local boarding houses. Captain Wadleigh, the only salaried member of the crew, was paid $800/ yr for his services. That money was well earned, as he bore great responsibility for the 20,000 or so passengers they carried each year, and also oversaw a very complex operation that involved hundreds of people. But even the good captain did a bit of moonlighting. Ledger entries the following year show that Herbert paid him $55.63 for cutting, hauling and piling wood, and $7.87 for labor on the steamer James Bell. Before long it was time to start boarding passengers for the first run of the day. Many were family men headed to their places of business in Concord or Manchester for the week, so they also bought tickets for the 9:00 Boston & Lowell RR train that would collect them at the Weirs. With the firewood, food, freight and passengers safely aboard, soon the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clock chimed three bells (5:30) and it was

time to get underway. Pilot Lovett rang down to engineer Kelley to back slowly out of the slip. This was a difficult and potentially dangerous maneuver. Because walking beam engines have no automatic reverse, Kelley proceeded to push and pull on a giant lever, called a starting bar, to manually open and close the engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valves. He had to do this in exact lockstep with the rotation of the paddlewheels, which he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see. If he failed, the engine would lock up, and the Lady would be dangerously adrift in w i n d y Wolfeboro Bay. Just one month ago, on June 30, the engine broke during this maneuver, and the Lady was indeed adrift. As Sarah noted on July 1 - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday the Lady broke her piston rod. It is quite unfortunate for her as it was the commencement of a musical convention at (the) Weirs.â&#x20AC;? Herbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ledger shows that Harrison Loving was paid $157.06 ($10,500 in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money) on July 20 for a new piston. This expense, coupled with the loss of business (the income side of the ledger

was blank for a week!) made a serious dent in their profits for the year. Fortunately, engineer Kelley knew his job well, and soon John Lovett rang down to proceed ahead. Once again, Kelley pushed and pulled on the starting bar, this

time in the opposite way. Once they were up to speed, he â&#x20AC;&#x153;dropped the hooksâ&#x20AC;? to engage automatic valve operation, and they were on their way. So I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll join Captain Wadleigh and the crew next time as they steam around beau-

Planned Parenthood (PP) uses women and their preborn children for profit. If this wasn’t enough, we now find from the most recent undercover videos, Planned Parenthood has been trafficking in the sale of baby organ and body parts at the highest level of the organization. YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED THAT YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE SUBSIDIZING THIS BEHAVIOR. PP top doctor, Dr. Debora Nucatola admitted that PP alters the abortion procedure, turning the baby to a breech position in order to get the baby body parts intact to fill the “orders” as needed. This is a risky procedure for the mother – THIS IS NOT SUPPORTING WOMEN. This is endangering the mother in order to provide a commodity to sell. Planned Parenthood (PP) uses women and their preborn children for profit. “Yesterday was the first time…people wanted lungs. Some people want lower extremities, too – which, that’s simple. I’d say a lot of people want liver…we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that, so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.” She coldly discusses this baby “crushing” while drinking her wine and eating her lunch. WHERE HAS OUR HUMANITY GONE? Are we so far gone that killing and dismembering babies for the sale of their organs is now table talk? Folks, it is time to become vocal. Planned Parenthood needs to be investigated and all taxpayer funding must be STOPPED. We must call on our local, state, and federal representatives to do the right thing. If we are silent, we are complicit in this horror. Take the time to tell your local officials to STOP FEEDING THE BEAST known as Planned Parenthood. The time has come to just say ENOUGH.

reform” -- meaning some sweeping legislation that neither the public nor the Congress has had time to consider. Congress did that when it passed ObamaCare. Do we want to let immigration laws become something else that we learn about only after the fact, when it is too late? No doubt immigrants, like any other large group of human beings, range from some of the best people to some of the worst. But it makes a huge difference what the proportions are. What are the crime rates, the disease rates, the automobile fatality rates, the educational records of the children of immigrants from different countries? Above all, we need the facts. There has been too much rhetoric already. If our politicians are too gutless to bring out the facts, perhaps some think tank or television station can hold an hour-long debate between some proponent of expansive immigration and some opponent.

“The veto only compounds the atrocity. Excuses and obfuscation by the Russian Federation should be treated with the utmost distain.” Thirty nine-Australians were killed in the crash. The MH 17 airliner was flying at 33,000 feet over a rebel held region of eastern Ukraine where both Russian backed separatists and Ukraine government troops were involved in heavy fighting. Why Moscow-supported separatists would even have access to or for that matter know how to operate a high altitude surface to air missile is a question. Equally in the midst of a bitter ground battle, why would either side decide to randomly fire upon a civilian airliner passing six miles above? Though Moscow has accused the Ukrainians, most evidence points to the missile being fired by the rebels. So here’s the point. If Moscow is so convinced the Ukraine government forces committed the atrocity, why not then allow an

impartial inquiry to gather evidence and try to prove the case? Russian delegate Vitaly Churkin, in a lengthy rebuttal, asserted, “What are the grounds to be assured of the impartiality of such an investigation?” He countered, what he called “aggressive propaganda in the media.” But by blocking such an impartial investigation the finger of guilt, by default, points to Moscow. Still Russia would rather face a lingering media presumption of guilt rather than an internationally established verdict of guilt. New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully stated that while the Council had pressed for a consensus resolution he lamented that this is not a case “which can be seen in shades of grey; either we follow a path of accountability or there is impunity. ” Germany’s delegate Harald Braun put the matter in perspective, “Today this Council has utterly failed the victims, the families and the friends of the 283 passengers and 15 crew

members killed, among them 4 German citizens, in the downing of MH 17. But this does not mean that the perpetrators can triumph and hope for impunity. We the grieving nations, will not rest until they are held accountable.” Ambassador Power warned, “The United States believes firmly that those who carried out this unspeakable crime cannot remain unnamed and unpunished…there cannot and will not be impunity.” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin added rhetorically; “There can be no reason to oppose this unless you are a perpetrator yourself.” John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He is the author of Divided Dynamism The Diplomacy of Separated Nations: Germany, Korea, China (2014).

coach in the Buffalo Public School system. An account published in Athletic Business E-News described how a parent, Meg Gifford, has been trying to get the very successful veteran coach removed for bullying—for “harsh and abusive behavior” toward players. Numerous supporters of Matos showed up at a school board hearing, as the board dealt with the request to fire Matos. Erin Heaney, who played for Matos 10 years ago, said “She taught me what it meant to be a strong woman, to stick up for myself and hoAw to receive criticism in a way that is required in the real world. She gives tough love, there’s no doubt about that, but she gives a lot of love.” No one spoke against Matos, who appears to me to be the type of coach I’d want at my school. Hopefully she, and countless coaches like her, will persevere despite hassles from parents, adminis-

Stay tuned for updates in coming months on this exciting development. In other news around the farm, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a new friend that has been hanging around recently, and appears to have decided the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environs are ideal for his new residence. Possibly injured, the Redtailed Hawk, affectionately named Hawkie by the volunteers who have come to enjoy seeing him daily, seems to have sensed safe peacefulness at the farm, and does not display any aggressive behavior toward any of the other animals of the rescue. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still flying high from the month-long work detail of a dozen hearty AmeriCorps NCCC volunteers from all over the country, and are enjoying the benefits of the many projects they tackled around the farm that had long been desired but were lacking the needed group manpower. We are greatly looking forward to another AmeriCorps NCCC team returning in the fall for another month of significant projects. The wheels of justice seem to be turning rather slowly for the four stallions and one mare rescued last summer from Northfield in the great DDay rescue, who are still in legal limbo and are in desperate need of medical care that cannot be provided until the legal issues are resolved. We hope to be able to report good news soon on this on-going legal issue and be able to raise highly needed funds for their ongoing medical care and needed surgeries. Lastly, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have been approved for Pets for Vets, a program that will hopefully be able to connect military veterans with companion dogs and/or puppies to be adopted through LLLF.

Rickie Lee is known as “The premiere song-stylist and songwriter of her generation,” (according to The New Yorker’s Hilton Als), with a “transcendent” voice and phenomenal stage presence. Tickets start at $39. As MOJO writes, “When beatnik kitty cat Rickie Lee first blew minds in’79 with Chuck E.’s In Love, it was obvious that an artist of startling talent had arrived… as she evolved, she wisely shed the theatrics and focused on her art.” Though she’s stepped brashly across genres, Jones’ core music tends to fit somewhere into the folk-jazz-R&B vein.” The duchess of coolsville has always had the ability to blow away fans and critics with more than coolness, with simply extraordinary musicianship. Critics wax poetic about her vocals, which adapt to the music with appropriate brittle-

ness or rock-hard precision – and have only gotten better as she’s honed her continually evolving singer-songwriter magic. As The Independent writes of Jones’ vocals, “It is a voice from a dream, elusive, yet familiar, transcendent, a messenger from another place… Stunning.” She has been hailed as a “virtuosic performer,” and the “natural successor to Joni Mitchell.” There is no mistaking that she is one of the most inspired voices in the modern American musical landscape. Don’t miss an intimate evening with the woman who transcended music, first becoming a pop culture phenom, then maturing into nothing short of a poet. Tickets for Rickie Lee Jones are $39, and $49 for premier seating.
