A Sports Trip To The White House
by Mike Moffett Contributing Writer
The e-mail from the White House naturally caught my eye when I reviewed the numerous messages that congregate daily in my electronic in-box. It was an invite to a May 21 Washington, D.C. event where President Trump would recognize 2017 NASCAR champion driver Martin Truex, as well as a NASCAR Nation that overwhelmingly voted for Trump to be president. This was in contrast to the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors and their fans who
overwhelmingly voted against Trump and who eschewed a White House visit. Having never met the president, I pondered why I’d received the invitation. Perhaps he or his staff read the Weirs Times on-line. Or, more likely, it was related to the fact that I’m a sports columnist and a New Hampshire State Representative who lives about a mile from our wonderful NASCAR track—the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon. I checked my calendar and then RSVP’d my appreciation for the invitation and replied See trip on 26

Wright Museum To Feature ‘Defiance’ Author Nazi occupation spread far and wide during World War II, but the frightening circumstances allowed for heroes to be shown. Such is the story of a group of young men and women who resisted Nazi rule in the Netherlands, recounted in the book “Defiance,” by author Titia Bozuwa, who brings to life the events from 1941-1945. Bozuwa will discuss “Defiance” as well as sign copies of the novel Tuesday, June 5, from 7-8 p.m. at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro. While “Defiance” is a fictional work based on the occupation of the Netherlands during World War II, Bozuwa intertwines plenty of historical context and events into the story. She writes from experience, as she detailed in another novel, “In the Shadow of the Cathedral,” her family’s endurance in the face of occupation. Bozuwa was 8 years old when the Nazis invaded her homeland in 1940. ‘Defiance’ was recommended to me by a Wright Museum member,” Culver said. “Although the Wright focuses on Americans during World War II, it is also our duty to remind our audience that many Allies lost their country and freedom during the war, making defiance an essential part of their lives and eventual liberation.” The Wright Museum’s Lecture Series, sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney, takes place every Tuesday through the end of the museum’s season, which concludes Oct. 31. Admission is $3 for members and $8 for non-members. Seating is limited, and reservations can be made by calling 603-569-1212. Wright Museum is open daily through Oct. 31, with hours 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit www.wrightmuseum.org.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Googling Myself
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
Brendan is off this week so we are reprinting this column from March 27, 2008. It also appears in his book “The Best Of A F.O.O.L. In New Hampshire.” Have you ever Googled yourself? Years ago if you had said that to someone they would have distanced themselves from you pretty fast. Some might even have called the police. As a young boy I went to a Catholic grammar school and I can only imagine how it would have gone if we had computers and the Internet. Maybe getting caught using your laptop when you weren’t supposed to be. “Mr. Smith, what exactly are you doing back there?” “I’m Googling myself, Sister Mary Mary.” It wouldn’t have been long until a heavy hand had a hold of the top of my ear and I was dragged down to the principal’s office. “I caught Mr. Smith Googling himself!” Of course, three Our Fathers and three Hail Marys would have taken care of all that at confession. Still, I would most likely always have the stigma through grammar school of being a “Googler” and would need to be watched. Today, Googling yoursel f i s a co mmo n occurrence and widely ac-
cepted. Not only do people Google themselves but they Google others as well. It’s not uncommon to Google a close friend as well as someone you don’t even know. In fact, they will never know you Googled them (unless they look at your cookies). You can tell people you are Googling them and others and they might not even care. People may even ask you if you Googled someone and if you haven’t they may suggest that you do so. Sometimes they will even wait while you Google another person and then, after you are done, the two of you can discuss it. Googling doesn’t always get the results you’d like. Occasionally, someone will tell you they Googled someone and nothing happened and you then might suggest that they Google someone else. It’s a strange new world. You don’t necessarily have to always Google a person. Sometimes you can Google a thing or a place. You can, if in the mood, Google pretty much anything you want. It’s pretty wide open. I feel the younger generation takes Googling for granted. In fact, it’s considered a bit of a stigma if someone Googles you and nothing happens. I heard this conversation between two teenagers the other day. “Dude, I Googled you and nothing happened.” “No way, Dude. Google me again.” “Dude!” Well, maybe not a conversation, but certainly an interaction of some sort. Even though Googling has fast become a way of life in the Twenty-First Century, not everyone
is proficient at Googling. Some still insist on Yahooing people. This used to be accepted many years ago but it is quickly becoming a social no no. I admit I used to Yahoo people and things for a long time. If people asked me if I Googled someone I’d answer with a sheepish “Yes” too embarrassed to admit that I still preferred to Yahoo. I used to Google once in a while and I admit it felt good but I still continued to Yahoo just the same. A few habits die hard. Then things changed for me. A few weeks ago, I was sitting at home when I decided to Google myself. I will admit it was pretty amazing. I discovered things I may never have if I had just continued to Yahoo myself. I have since fallen into a routine of Googling everyone and everything I can think of (as well as myself occasionally, just for self-gratification). It is very liberating. I wonder what Sister Mary Mary would think. I think I’ll Google her just for the heck of it. Visit Brendan’s website at www.BrendanT Smith. com and hear the audible version of some of his columns.

forth, I was invited to be a guest by one of the leaders. David took a bet on me and let me join his hike to the South Sister Overlook. The day was cool with lots of high clouds for the five mile out and back hike. While I waited at the Lower Bristlecone Trailhead a couple of wild horses showed up. David led Rick and me up the trail and then at the fallen tree headed into the woods and past the foundation of an old sawmill. Soon a wellworn footpath was easy to follow up and then it disappeared again as we followed the ridge to the outlook. The vista didn’t disappoint. Big Mount Charleston still had snow on its flanks, the Mummy’s head was across the way and the rest of the Spring Mountains just dazzled me. Southern Nevada

I played at least a dozen hands ,winning some and losing some when I noticed that my credits read $6.50 I decided to escape and quit while still 50 cents ahead for my efforts.

Crapweasel of the Week: Educrat Arne Duncan Educrat (ED-yoo-krat) noun, usually pejorative. A government school official or administrator whose primary function is to spend by Michelle Malkin t a x d o l l a r s Syndicated Columnist telling other parents what to do with their children. Beltway education bureaucrats abhor families who choose to keep their kids out of public schools -- unless it’s to grandstand over gun control. Behold Arne Duncan, longtime pal of Barack Obama and former U.S. Department of Education secretary, who called last weekend for parents nationwide to withdraw students from classes “until gun laws (are) changed to keep them safe.” Emotions are still raw after a teen shot 10 classmates and teachers to death in Texas last week. But Duncan has no excuse for his cynical, made-for-cableTV exploitation of the Santa Fe High School massacre. Existing state laws banning minors under 18 from purchasing or possessing guns didn’t stop the shooter. Neither did laws against possessing sawed-off shotguns or pipe bombs. And contrary to hysterical early reports, the accused 17-year-old gunman did not use “assault rifles.” So a “common sense” ban on “assault weapons” would not have saved lives, either. But effective solutions to maximize students’ safety and wellbeing seemingly aren’t Duncan’s goals. His mission is airtime. Publicity. Entertainment. Provocation for provocation’s sake.
Show time -- for the children, of course. School boycotts are a “radical idea,” he admitted to MSNBC. “It’s controversial. It’s intentionally provocative.” Praising teacher walkouts and student protests, Duncan told The Atlantic he supported parent-initiated school shutdowns for gun control because “we are not protecting our kids... And the fact that we’re not doing that -- we’re not willing to think radically enough to do it -- I can’t stomach that.” Ah, the royal, unstomachable “we.” Here’s another thing I find hard to swallow: Education overlord Arne Duncan now championing the radical idea of parents exercising their autonomy to do what’s best for their children. As Obama’s meddling powerhungry education secretary, Duncan attacked “white suburban moms” and their children who turned to homeschooling in protest of the top-down Common Core “standards”/testing/ data-mining program. Duncan sneered that he found it “fascinating” that the grass-roots anti-Common Core revolt came from “white suburban moms who -- all of a sudden -- their child isn’t as brilliant as they thought they were, and their school isn’t quite as good as they thought they were.” This elitist control freak revealed his fundamental disdain for rabble-rousing parents who’ve taken educational matters in to their own hands. By characterizing the movement against Common Core as “white” and “suburban,” Duncan also exposed his bigotry against countless parents “of color,” like myself, who’ve long opposed Fed Ed’s sabotage

How The Russia Investigation Helps Trump This week, for the first time in months, a generic ballot poll showed Republicans beating by Ben Shapiro Democrats Synidcated Columnist in the midte rm e lec tions. According to Reuters, Republicans are now leading by six points. And while that poll is obviously an outlier, the movement of the generic ballot in the direction of Republicans isn’t: The average lead for Democrats has been dropping steadily since late February, from a nine-point lead to a four-point lead. Why? Certainly, the economy has something to do with it: The job market continues to boom; the stock market continues to hover around 25,000; and GDP continues to grow steadily. And, certainly, foreign policy has
something to do with it: There are no catastrophic foreign wars on the horizon, and President Trump’s gutsy calls to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem resulted in zero serious backlash. Democrats opposed the Trump tax cuts and have whined incessantly about Trump’s Middle East foreign policy, even going so far as to demonstrate a certain level of warmth toward terrorist group Hamas. This isn’t exactly brilliant politicking. But there’s another reason Democrats seem to be dropping like a stone, too: their Russia obsession. The reality is most Americans think the Russia investigation is going nowhere. As of early May, just 44 percent of Americans though the FBI special counsel investigation of President Trump and his associates is justified; fifty-three percent thought that the investigation is politically motivated.

The Innocence Project On TV crime shows like “CSI,” “NCIS” and “Law & Order,” science gets the bad guys. In real life, “science” often ensnares the innocent. by John Stossel Former Syndicated Columnist NYPD Detective Harry Houck gets annoyed when TV shows make forensic science look infallible. “You watch a detective get down and look at a body (and say), ‘He’s been dead for three hours now... (H)e ate dinner four hours ago,’” scoffs Houck. “I can’t do that.” On TV, experts identify killers by their bite marks. In real life, experts claim they can do that. The TV show “Cold Case Files” covered the trial of Alfred Swinton. He was convicted of murder because a bite-mark expert said his teeth matched a bite on the victim. “A perfect match!” said Dr. Gus Karazulas, the “forensic odontologist” whose testimony clinched the conviction. Karazulas sounded impartial and objective. “A forensic scientist is not on the side of the prosecutor or defense,” he said on “Cold Case Files.” “We look at the evidence.” But Swinton was innocent. Lawyer Chris Fabricant helped get him released from jail by doing a DNA test, a much more reliable, less
subjective form of science. Fabricant scoffs at bite-mark testimony: “The doctor was just wrong. It’s an unreliable technique.” The more room there is for an expert witness’s unique interpretation of the data, the more that can go wrong, says Fabricant. “Bite mark is similar to you and I looking at a cloud. I say to you, ‘John, doesn’t that cloud look like a rabbit?’ And you say, ‘Yeah, Chris, I think that does look like a rabbit.’” That kind of junk science puts innocent people in jail. I told Fabricant that I assumed most people in jail are guilty. Also, many people say crime is down because aggressive law enforcement has locked so many people up. “If you think that maybe even 1 percent of convicted defendants may be innocent,” replied Fabricant, “we have 2.6 million people in prison today, (so) we are talking about tens of thousands of (innocent) people!” Fabricant works with the Innocence Project, a group that works to get innocent people freed from prison. Through DNA evidence, the project’s lawyers have helped free 191 people. That confident bite-mark expert who got Swinton convicted now admits he was wrong. “Bite mark evidence is junk science,” he told us via email. He resigned from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. But police still trust bite marks. “Let’s say one tooth is missing in
the front” of a bite mark, explains Houck. “You’ve got to go, well, our suspect’s got one tooth missing in the front. That’s pretty good!” Houck says he’d demand other evidence. But not all cops do -- especially when scientific “experts”
say someone’s guilty. Bite marks are just one dubious method police and prosecutors use. FBI researchers claim fingerprints are right more than 99 See stossel on 37
Appropriate This! An old Scottish proverb holds that open confession is good for the soul. To honor my Scottis h a n c e s by Ken Gorrell tors, I have Northfield, NH. a confession to make: In middle school, I was a drugpushing pimp. Well, I played a drug-pushing pimp on stage. In 1977, I played the role of Sportin’ Life in what was likely New Hampshire’s only all-White middle school production of Porgy and Bess. It might have been America’s only such staging of Gershwin’s operatic-musical that year. Or any year. So here is my real confession: At the tender age of 14, I was a cultural appropriator. Never mind that I played the villainous pimp (a character made famous by Sammy Davis, Jr.) who enticed drug-addled Bess to leave her lover, Porgy, and join him for the “high life in New York.” Ignore the fact that seventhand eighth-graders were dramatizing for our parents, teachers, and community a saga that included drugs, rape, blasphemy, and murder. No, the real sin – though we wouldn’t recognize it as such for decades – was that we were appropriating a culture utterly foreign to us. The opera’s setting is a Black fishing village near Charleston, SC, in the early 1900s. The only White characters are the police investigating the murder. In our version, every character was White. Our show went on without protest, but forty years later a dramatization with a similar “defect” was a national controversy in Hungary. The enlight-
ened keepers of culture insisted that productions of Porgy and Bess be true to the race of the characters as written. That’s as difficult to do in today’s Hungary as it was impossible to do in a small NH middle school in the ‘70s. The student thespians at Ithaca High School in NY weren’t so lucky. Their production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame was cancelled after students protested the awarding of the role of Esmerelda to a White student. Even though Victor Hugo’s novel describes the character as half Roma, half French, the musical version based on the novel reframed her as “an outcast racially and culturally.” Today, that means no Whites allowed. When did the charge of “cultural appropriation” become an arrow in the quiver of the ever-petulant, race-consumed Left? Like so many loony ideas, it seems to have come out of nowhere (a.k.a. liberal arts colleges). What anyone with more than an ounce of historical knowledge recognizes as the cultural synthesis that has been improving the human condition for millennia, lefty academics and the students they indoctrinate see as a “power dynamic in which members of a dominant culture take elements from a culture of people who have been systematically oppressed by that dominant group.” To the Left, everything is a power dynamic. Those who lack power are excused everything (which is why it’s okay for them to take advantage of social, governmental, and technological structures they didn’t and couldn’t create). But individuals racially connected See gorrell on 37

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink gETTING yOUR BEST NIGHT’S SLEEP
by Dr. Charles Fink
Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center
The average person spends about one third of their life sleeping. However, there are millions of people who suffer from either not enough sleep or poor sleep. I have had several complaints from patients lately of exhaustion due to poor sleep. This can have a variety of consequences ranging from depression, cardiovascular disease, digestive problems, gastric reflux, muscle aches, headaches, allergies, irritability and weight gain, just to name a few. They may find it hard to think clearly or focus and have either a lack of appetite or the munchies. While we sleep our bodies are busy doing the hard work of repairing and maintaining our physiology and psychology. Sleep is vital for sustaining peak performance both physically and mentally. When we get a good nights sleep we are more productive, alert and healthy. When we sleep our bodies produce HGH, human growth hormone and other natural hormones. These are important for energy, weight loss and pain tolerance. Continued lack of sleep can have profound consequences and can make recovering from an injury difficult. Many of us are guilty of
sabotaging ourselves in a number of ways such as eating foods that disagree with us making it difficult to lie down, let alone go to sleep. Other ways of interfering with sleep are watching television in bed, leaving the television, radio or computer on or sporadic sleep schedules. Often people who alternate work shifts find it difficult to sleep. Stress can be another big factor in sleep deprivation and as we become more sleep deprived our stress levels rise. Some common sleep stoppers are Improper planning or irregular bed times, uncomfortable beds and sheets, everyday stress, such as job stress and money. Some other causes may be lack of sex, injury, pain, noise, some medications or long naps during the day. Some tips for a better nights sleep are getting regular chiropractic treatments, eat 2 to 3 hours before bed and try to avoid heavy greasy foods and sugary desserts. Cut back on the caffeine, a rule of thumb is no caffeine after noon if you are having difficulty sleeping. Avoid alcohol as it may put you to sleep, but it won’t keep you there. A dark room with some white noise (maybe a fan) can often make a difference. The white noise can cover the sounds of traffic, a neighbors barking dog or rooster that crows in the wee hours of the morning. Try to keep your workouts to earlier in the day as a lot of activity may prevent you from being able to get to sleep. There are a variety of natural sleep aids available. Drinking a relaxing tea in the evening, a bath, turning down the lights
and avoiding those high energy shows on television may help to put you to sleep. If you are a planner and find that as soon as you lie down you start to think of things you want or need to do, keep a pad of paper and pen on your night stand. Write it down and forget about it. If you get up in the night to use the bathroom don’t turn the lights on. Have some very low nightlights strategically placed so that you won’t wake up too much and be able to get back to sleep fairly quickly. If you are getting up several times a night you should talk to your doctor.

“I have tried many different ways to get myself back to myself. I was tired, bloated, no energy, brain fog, just didn’t feel right. Then I saw Dr. Fink’s ad in the paper, which also listed everything I felt and thought, why not, what do I have to lose! So I decided to give him a try. It has been four weeks and I’m actually feeling myself again, now compared to years of not feeling good, this is awesome! I have energy; I think more clearly, all I can say is “thank you� Dr. Fink!� -S.B.

Quitting smoking is almost never simple or easy, but according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it’s one of the most important steps you can take for your health. Luckily, there are several ways to get assistance to quit smoking. World No Tobacco Day is May 31, and an ideal opportunity to kickstart your efforts to stop smoking. Nearly 70 percent of smokers want to quit and more than half will try this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If you’re a smoker who’s ready to quit, you can increase your chanc-
es of success by talking to your doctor about it, as well as leveraging free resources. The American Lung Association suggests tobacco users who want to quit should consult their doc-
com.
You can also download the free Quitters Circle app from the Lung Association and Pfizer to access tips on how to quit smoking and help guide you through your quitting journey. It’s available at QuittersCircle.

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
Everyone wants to be healthy. Even, if we don’t always demonstrate that by the choices we make (ie: junk food, skipping sleep to keep Netflix rolling). So, why do we make choices that don’t necessarily benefit our overall health? Why do we live in bodies that don’t feel well, don’t perform well, and seem more like a hindrance to us, than a vehicle to accomplish our goals. In talking to people in my office as we address their health concerns, I think it boils down to a few factors for most of us: time constraints (as in the individual has work/school/ kids/a million things to do), money (the idea that eating healthier, visiting healthcare providers, or starting to exercise requires a lot of dough), and lastly convenience/ ease of use (aka I don’t know where to start). I can understand all of those concerns. The best advice I can give you is find a provider you trust to help you figure out solutions to those concerns. Don’t hesitate to say to your provider: where do I start, what do I do, and how I am going to do it? In a very general sense, though, allow me to make a suggestion in the meantime that addresses all three of those concerns and can give you a health boost: nature. We live in New Hampshire. So trails, lakes, mountains, and ocean are convenient. Some sports and
hobbies can be expensive, but going for a hike or walking by the lake is, generally, free. So access is not hindered by finances. And, health benefits from being in nature can be derived in as little as 20 minutes of nature exposure. There is significant research that demonstrates that nature exposure, espe-
cially to lush, green settings has tremendous health benefits. Here are some benefits and this is really just the tip of the iceberg: 1.Decreased Stress: studies found that people who walked through forests had lower stress, more relaxation, better mood and less anxiety. So while spending time in the woods, as indicated here would be great for mental health, think of the toll on stress leaves on physical health. 2. May help you be more kind and generous: a 2014 study found that participants who were exposed to beautiful nature scenes were more generous, trusting, helpful to others, and more likely to volunteer. All of these prosocial behaviors have associations with increased physical and
mental health.
3. Decreased Inflammation: 2012 studies found associations with reduced inflammatory markers and positive effects on hypertension. Inflammation when out of control can lead to pain, autoimmune disorders, and even depression. 4. Improved attention, creativity, and problem solving: obviously, adults could use help in all these areas. They could be great tools at work. What’s really cool is that there is mounting evidence that nature exposure can be effective at managing ADHD symptoms in kids. 5. Immune function: a 2010 research review in Environmental Health and Preventative Medicine states, “all of these findings strongly suggest that forest environments have beneficial effects on human immune function.” More research is still needed in this area, but any potential immune system boost, would be welcome. Health is a tricky subject, as it can mean different things to different people ( ie: paleo vs vegan, bodybuilder vs marathoner) but one thing we can all agree on is that we want to feel good, be functional, and live a happy life. We a have tremendous free, convenient, powerful all around us in our home environment. We don’t have to drive hours from a city to get these benefits. We simply need to get up, go outside and reap all the positive health benefits that New Hampshire has to offer.

1800’s sarsaparilla was used as a medicine for many ailments, not just by cowboys, but also by the citizens of New Hampshire. If you happen to have a copy of the New Hampshire Patriot & State Gazette from the year of 1849 you are apt to find on its pages more than one ad for sarsaparilla as a cure for about every curable human disease. Particularly prominent and lengthy was the advertisement for “Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla ”

My purpose in writing about sarsaparilla is not to endorse its use or to suggest that it is “snake oil” , but simply to educate today’s fad followers of its popularity 150 years and more ago. It seems to have gone in popularity from a cure-all medicine to a “ SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC” to a not very popular soda that you might find in certain stores, though the in-

Beer Traveler: 1766 Brewing Company by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer
1766 Brewing Company owner Dave Sanborn. Over the past few weeks, we have looked at breweries around the state including Rek’-Lis Brewing in Bethlehem, 603 Brewery in Londonderry, and Great North Aleworks in Manchester. Our Beer Traveler series finishes as we swing back to the Lakes Region with a local brewery in Plymouth called 1766 Brewing. First off, Google maps puts 1766 near downtown Plymouth which is really not close at all. Do not trust your GPS to get there… You will need to go all the way down Tenney Mountain Highway from Rt 93 until you hit the traffic circle. Bear right around the circle onto Rt 25 and take your first driveway on the left. You will see The Last Chair restaurant; 1766 is situated behind them. As mentioned earlier in these pages, there was a connection between the two businesses. This is not true. 1766 Brewing Company is a separate entity. They are open Thursday, 6pm, Friday, 4pm, Saturday and Sunday at 1pm. 1766 takes its name from the year Plymouth was founded. Many of the names of their beers are

SPORTS TANKING? Pity the Baltimore Orioles and their fans. The O’s are in last place in the American League East, hopelessly behind the Red Sox and the Yankees. Their season is over, not that it ever really began. So why bother going to Camden Yards? Having been to that beautiful baseball venue several times, I’ll state that Baltimore fans show up largely to see other teams—like the Red Sox and the Yankees. When those teams come to Baltimore, it seems that there as many fans there cheering for the visitors as for the O’s. With regard to Baltimore baseball fans, the expression “long suffering” comes to mind. Between 1997 and 2011, the Orioles missed the playoffs every year, generally finishing last. While every team has its “dry spells” (see Chicago Cubs), these extended droughts try the souls of franchise fans. The Red Sox recently had a stretch where they finished last three out of four years, but at least that fourth year (2013) yielded a special World Series championship. But commentators tell the Oriole fans to take solace in that their woeful record will position them for a top draft pick. They point to the Houston Astros, who recently had the worst record in baseball but rebuilt and won the 2017 World Series. This brings us to the concept of “tanking,” where the focus is on finishing

But that brings to mind the long-suffering Cleveland Browns, a joke of an NFL team that’s endured 10 straight losing seasons, and is 1-31 over the past two seasons. How are those top draft picks working out for the Browns? Can you say “Johnny Manziel?” How many years can the Browns continue to “tank?” They did get a good movie out of their sorry situation—“Draft Day” starring Kevin Costner (2014). But that’s thin gruel for the loyal, long-suffering Brown fans, rooters who dress up like dogs to see their team play like dogs. But back to the Orioles. Their season ticket holders invested their wherewithal, time, and emotion into an organization that they hoped would at least compete for the playoffs,
rather than a top draft pick. Should they get a rebate? Seriously. I would See moffett on 23

It was recommended for female complaints, kidney disease, nervous diseases (spinal irritation, neuralgia, St. Vitas dance, epileptic fits, convulsions), and weak stomachs. Summed up at the end of the ad it offered “transcendent power to heal.� This medicine could be
purchased at Benning W. Sanborn’s bookstore on North Main Street in Concord, or from E.H. Rollins, who had 100 dozen bottles for sale. But the Dr. S.P. Townsend advertisement in the same paper called the claims in the old Dr. Townsend column “Tricks of Quacks�. While acknowledging that Dr. Jacob Townsend’s sarsaparilla was available in many towns and was known throughout the United States and beyond with enormous sales, the ad stated that the claim that it was the original sarsaparilla recipe was false. J a c o b Townsend is described as an unprincipled old man who unsuccessfully tried to engage the help of certain men to help him sell sarsaparilla until he eventually found some men who would do so. Their claim was that these men paid Townsend seven dollars a week for the use of his name, and that the statement that the old man’s product had been in use for years was false because its sales had begun only during the past year. The ad for the Old Dr. Townsend’s product indicated that it had been manufactured for years but had been kept out of the market because the old Doctor was poor and didn’t have the resources to distribute his medicine. The opposing ad said that the old doc was not “a regular educated Physician, and never attempted to manufacture a medicine, until these men hired him for the use of his name.� On the other hand, Dr. S.P. Townsend was the genuine manufacturer See smith on 25

of the sarsaparilla medicine which had been in production for ten years. The S.P. Townsend people printed reports from New York papers where their headquarters were located to convince the readers that only Dr. S.P. Townsend’s sarsaparilla was the original stuff and what New Hampshire (and other) citizens should buy. The name “Townsend” was the one recognized by the public when it came to buying the then popular medicine. There were others who advertised the selling of sarsaparilla including Allison and Gault on North Main Street in Concord who sold Dr. Goodman’s sarsaparilla syrup and advertised it as a superior syrup. They indicated that the Shaker’s had a sarsaparilla medicine by stating that Goodman’s was “equal if not far superior to the Shaker’s.” I have no statistics to show how great a difference sarsaparilla made in the health of New Hampshire citizens in the 19th century or since. It is still used some as a health supplement in present days and a genuine sarsapa-

the current scientific community seems to consider sarsaparilla something that has potential health benefits but needs more research to determine the extent of the benefits. If you come across an old bottle of Old Dr. Jacob Townsend’s or Dr. S.P. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla I would suggest caution against using the stuff even though both were said to improve with age. I would still look for an expiration date.

that of course I’d come to the White House. I shared the news with my spouse Beth—who is much smarter than me. She did not feel compelled to make the D.C. trip, but encouraged me to attend if I wanted to. Then she asked to see the invite, and noted that my name was misspelled. “You didn’t send them any personal information did you?” she asked. I stood slack-jawed. “Please tell me you didn’t respond!” I had to admit that I’d sent them all my personal contact information, date of birth, social security number, etc. “That’s how identities are stolen! You’d better check with the White House or you’ll need to change all your credit cards and bank account numbers.” Trusting soul that I am, I realized that I’d likely been snookered and would have to deal with the awful consequences of identity theft.

But then I got an acknowledgement and more information from the White House Social Office. “If the Russians or whoever already have my identity, then why would they keep writing?” “Are they still misspelling your name? Do they want more personal information?”
“No. They just told me about dress code, White House security measures, and which gate to go to.” “Hmmmm.” OFF TO D.C. When the invitation proved to be real, I made travel plans. Greater D.C. is my old stomping ground from my days as a Ma-

rine in Quantico, Va. And as a former social studies teacher, I love the area’s history. I’d been by the White House many times, but never inside its grounds. So on May 21 I found a great parking spot on Constitution Avenue in time to do some sight-seeing before the White House event. Washington can be deadly hot from May through September, and the 85 degree temps made traipsing around in my suitcoat a bit taxing, but I was happy to be there. To some, Washington, D.C. personifies politics and power and many of our lesser angels. Indeed, many think of it as a corrupt swamp needing drainage. That those lesser angels are busy and active throughout the District of Columbia is oft-apparent. But a walkabout also reminds one of what Abraham Lincoln referred to as our “better angels.” Our national capital, with all its monuments, edifices, history, and spirit represents unparalleled achievement.

I mingled briefly with guests and then moved to the shade of a giant tree, beneath which the band played a medley of fabulous tunes.

While many of the District’s permanent denizens may be oblivious to Washington’s mystique, its wide-eyed visitors always inspire me with their excitement and awe. Some Dutch tourists chatted me up while we walked along the ellipse. They were clearly delighted to be visiting our American capital and I hoped that our country, with all its imperfections, might always inspire the wonder that was so evident on their faces. I briefly stopped by the White House Visitors Center at 1450 Pennsylvania Avenue to absorb some history and charge my cell phone. As a shameless
Facebook devotee, I anticipating doing texts, photos, e-mails, tweets and livestreaming from the White House and wanted my Droid to be fully juiced! GETTING INSIDE Finally, I headed to the designated gate, along with other NASCAR invitees. I naturally expected tight security, but the measures surpassed my expectations. There were four check-points and search areas, with attendant metal detectors and the like. But my name was on every list and in I went. I walked through part of the East Wing to a door that led out to the South Lawn for the NASCAR event.

of academic excellence, local control and student privacy in school districts across the country. Note that newly minted parents’ rights advocate Arne Duncan never once advocated boycotting Chicago public schools, which he ran for eight years, for their abject failure to quell rampant school violence. Nor has Duncan called for parents to demand their districts withdraw from the disastrous “PROMISE” alternative discipline program that he helped create. (After Duncan’s protege, Broward County school superintendent Robert Runcie, initially denied that Parkland, Fla., shooter Nicholas Cruz had benefited from the program, he

ly an “alpha male” who draws energy from crowds and who relishes his job. Love him or hate him, he projects exuberance. He used notes but largely spoke extemporaneously. He praised NASCAR and the Truex team and also noted that NASCAR fans don’t take a knee during the national anthem—a thinly-veiled dig against last year’s NFL protesters. Truex then offered a few gracious comments, and everyone got in line for photos with the Commander-in-Chief. Given the heat and the length of the line, I de-
murred. I took a few more photos and headed out while the band played “Semper Fidelis.” I wanted to experience more of that wonderful D.C. history. Getting out was easy compared to getting in. After flying back to New Hampshire I told Beth I was glad I went. My spouse—who is much smarter than me—said she was happy for me. But she added that if I ended up a victim of identity theft, then at least she’d know who did it!
sheepishly acknowledged last week that Cruz had in fact been referred to the program and avoided criminal prosecution for school vandalism as a result.) Nor has Duncan said a peep about systemic coddling of abusers in the classroom by teachers’ union presidents in New Jersey and Ohio, as exposed over the past month by undercover investigative journalists at Project Veritas. Instead, Duncan has won high praise and more media interviews for his phony boycott proposal. “My family is all in if we can do this at scale,” he nobly tweeted. But what his slavering fans in the liberal media won’t tell you is that Dun-

Three-quarters of Americans think Trump should cooperate with the probe, but Americans are skeptical that there is a there there. And so far, Americans have been right. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has resulted in indictments of Trump associates on a charge of lying to the FBI, but there have been no indictments related to the original brief of his investigation: election collusion with the Russians. Meanwhile, each day seems to bring new headlines regarding the extent of the FBI investigation, dating all the way back to mid-2016. Americans aren’t going to read all the details of the various stories -- they’re just going to take away that law enforcement was all over the Trump campaign, has come up with nothing thus far and continues to hound the Trump White House. Furthermore, Democrats are getting discouraged. They were promised a deus ex machina -- an alien force that would swoop in to end the Trump presidency. They hoped it would be Mueller; they were convinced the election was stolen. It wasn’t, and it’s unlikely Mueller will end Trump’s presidency. So when Trump ful-
minates about the supposed sins of the “deep state,” few Americans are exercised. Most shrug; some even nod along. Democrats seethe but have no new fodder for their ire -- and every day that passes with the media chumming the waters and coming up empty drives down enthusiasm even more. And Trump’s focus on Russia means that he spends less time tweeting about other topics -- which helps him, since he’s less likely to make a grave error on those fronts. If Mueller truly has nothing, there’s a serious case to be made that the Russia collusion investigation actually helped Trump more than it hurt him. And Democrats might just have to come up with a plan for dealing with Trump’s policies other than praying for an avenging angel to frog-march him from the White House.

ing hike and it got me excited for our next day’s hike. A couple of years ago Charlie and I did a long hike on the North Loop Trail to Mount Charleston’s summit and it was one of my favorite hikes ever. So when David offered to go with me to the 11 thousand foot summit of Griffith Peak via the South Loop Trail of course I said yes. I was happy not to hike alone and to have someone willing to share their wealth of knowledge about the area was a huge bonus. We met at 8 am at the Cathedral Rock Trailhead; about an hour northwest of Vegas, up Kyle Canyon Road to the town of Mount Charleston. In the parking lot we met a man who was all excited to tell us all about his new cellphone map/ trail app and we headed up the trail behind him. At the intersection we turned left and headed up the South Loop Trail. See patenaude on 31

burned in a raging fire five years ago and the trail was closed for a few years. Signs of the fire still abound. There are some super overlooks along the way that would make a nice outing by the m s e l v e s if you’re looking for a shorter hike. Again the mountains dazzled me and the higher we climbed the more we could see. This time the Mummy’s toe was across the way and we could see the white streaks of snow on Mount Charleston. We couldn’t have asked
for better weather. We enjoyed the cool temperature and the blue sky above us. As we followed the trail’s switchbacks up the mountain we had to make our way over snow covered sections of the trail as we neared the ridge. The Ponderosa Pines that had escaped the fire towered over us. I appreciated the many interesting things David pointed out along the way. See patenaude on 32

PET OF THE WEEK High energy level pup seeking active family! This beautiful young mix breed has been at the shelter for two months and we have no idea why! Hazel is outgoing, playful, and loving! Although she can be vocal and fearful at times when meeting new people, she is an extremely young pup that just needs further socialization! Hazel loves doing zoomies in the back pens, going on walks with the shelter volunteers, and snuggling once the day is done. If you are looking for a canine companion that will always be up to going on adventures with you, Hazel might be your girl! Hazel has previously lived with other dogs but shouldn’t go with cats at this time. Hazel’s ideal home would have family members aged ten and up as she can be rambunctious and bouncy at times! Hazel deserves a family, are you willing to take her in?

we arrived. From our 11,064 foot perch the grand panorama reached far and wide. We signed the summit register and took a short break to eat a snack. Descending the switchbacks was this hiker’s dream. I joked to David that if this trail was in the East it would have led us straight down the drainage and been all washout and rocky. This trail was well graded and smooth, rarely ever too steep and ever so nice on my knees. The temperature increased greatly as we descended and the sun was hot. While we were up high the leaves of the quaking Aspens had just popped wide open and were a fresh light green. What a treat to see the changes as spring settles in while summer is pounding at the door. I can’t wait to go back to Las Vegas. Thanks David! Have Fun.

to the dominant culture are condemned for everything. Even making sandwiches. At Oberlin College a few years ago, a student of Vietnamese descent forced the dining hall to stop serving its version of Banh Mi – a traditional Vietnamese sandwich. It seems that bad imitation is not a form of flattery. As told in The Atlantic earlier this month, the dining hall used pulled pork instead of grilled pork; ciabatta bread instead of crusty baguette; coleslaw instead of pickled veggies. And they left off the pâtĂŠ. “It was ridiculous,â€? the student complained. “ H o w c ould they just throw out something completely different and label it as another country’s traditional food?â€? The Atlantic journalist pointed out the obvious flaw in the student’s rant: How traditionallyVietnamese could that sandwich be if it uses baguettes and pâtĂŠ, foods associated with the French colonizers of the nation now known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam? I guess that’s where the power dynamic kicks in, except that the French were defeated in Indochina... From sandwiches to
prom dresses, nothing is beyond the rage of the cultural appropriation police. A Utah high school student was slammed on social media a few weeks ago for wearing a cheongsam – a traditional Chinese dress – to her prom. One Chinese-American student critic posted “My culture is not your g*ddam prom dress.� But, funnily enough, actual Chinese citizens were overwhelmingly supportive. And the Chinese-American grievance-monger seems both well-assimilated into his appropriated Western culture and ignorant of the cultural history of that particular garment. Will this latest line of attack on personal freedoms by so-called social justice warriors (SJW) succeed? Only if we let it. Cultural freedom fighters need to appropriate Rule #5 from that master of the totalitarian Left, Saul Alinsky: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.� When plays, sandwiches, and prom dresses spark political outrage, ridicule is the correct response.

percent of the time. But that still leaves plenty of wrongful convictions. After terrorists killed 193 people in Madrid, the FBI matched a fingerprint on a terrorist’s bag to a man in Oregon named Brandon Mayfield. They arrested him. But Mayfield was innocent. Weeks later, Spanish investigators compared the prints more carefully and found the real terrorist. Other techniques are even less accurate: carpetfiber evidence, gun tracing, use of psychics, hair matching. “A dog hair was associated wrongfully with a human hair,� says Fabricant. “Since the turn of this century, there have been 75 wrongful convictions (based on hair matches).� Why do judges and lawyers accept such dubious evidence? “We all went to law school because we don’t know science, we don’t know math,� he replied. “If somebody
comes in in a white lab coat, and says, ‘I’ve been accredited by the American Board of Forensic Odontology,’ that’s good enough for government work.� That shouldn’t be. Too much is at stake. Jurors tend to believe people who call themselves “scientists.� Judges should be more skeptical. They should ban
junk science from courtrooms. John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t! Why Government Fails -- But Individuals Succeed.� For other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists, visit www. creators.com.
