Wright Museum Exhibit Honors The Story Of Soldiers Of All Wars by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

“I wanted to tell the story of the American Soldier,” said Rubin. “Not a blood and guts exhibition, but one of camaraderie, the family, the heroics, the ultimate sacrifice.” Cyma, who is a Tony and Emmy Award-winning producer, director and writer, had already

successfully spent the better part of twenty years researching, organizing and updating an exhibit of Pulitzer Prize photographs called “Impact” which has been seen by millions around the globe. She pulled out that front page photograph again in 2004 See soldier on 38

It was the cover photograph of a New York Times Magazine in 2003 that first put the idea in Cyma Rubin’s head. “I tore it out and put it in my ‘One Of These Days’ files,” said Rubin as we walked along the

halls of the Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro taking in what was now the reality of that idea. “The American Soldier: A Photographic Tribute From The Civil War To The War in Iraq” is exactly as it sounds, but not exactly as you might expect.

Cyma Rubin stands in front of the poster welcoming visitors to the Wright Museum’s display of her “American Soldier” photographic exhibit. With stunning photos from the Civil War to the War in Iraq, the exhibit has toured the country and has been seen by millions. It will be at the Wolfeboro museum through October. brendan smith Photo

Fancy Nancy Mystery At The N.H. Farm Museum MILTON - Strange doings are afoot at the N.H. Farm Museum, and fans of the Fancy Nancy children’s book series are being called upon to solve the mystery during a Sat., July 15 event taking place between noon and 2p.m. Fancy Nancy, whose stories are adored by a generation of little girls, has a larger-than-life personality. She adores all things “resplendent” and always dresses extravagantly, wearing boas, tutus, ruby slippers, and fairy wings. Nancy loves using big words such as “iridescent,” “ecstatic,” and “extraordinary” – as well as anything in French. Here’s your daughter or granddaughter’s chance to get all dressed up and solve a mystery at the Farm Museum. Once the mystery, presented as a special scavenger hunt, is solved, participants will take part in an ice cream social and do a bunch of fancy crafts. Parents are encouraged to dress fancy too! $5 for Children 3- 15;one accompanying adult and museum members are admitted free. Call 652-7840 to RSVP to ensure we have enough ice cream and craft supplies. The museum is located 1 mile off the Spaulding’s exit 18. Visit farmmuseum.org for additional event information.

To The Editor: Skip Reilly here, former State Representative, Grafton County, District 9. I endorse the optimum candidate to keep a fiscally prudent voice for us in Concord. Voters in Alexandria, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol and Grafton should invest time Tuesday, July 18th to cast a vote for Paul Migliore who has the strongest resume and knowledge on the issues facing us. There are other good candidates, but this is about the next regular election come 2018 when this should have been held. Mr. Migliore supported waiting and saving this unbudgeted expense to every town - evidence of his fiscal prudence. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it first-hand, having worked with him for years while he serves the School Board for 10 years, with myself on the Budget Committee. I attest to his fairness when spending taxpayer dollars. He supports the Second Amendment and is an NRA member. With extensive inside knowledge of NH education and how decisions are made in the legislature, he is the best. Politically astute and hard-working for his constituents, he will continue to now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sold

Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Energy Week To the Editor: Donald Trump and his cronies in the White House dubbed this past week â&#x20AC;&#x153;Energy Weekâ&#x20AC;?. And if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned about our President, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that he has no idea that his energy policies are going to be a catastrophe for billions of people, long after his term. President Trump and the republican party run a narrative of energy dominance. They want to become energy power houses, globally dominant. These terms, when talking about energy sources, usually have a dark side to them. They leave people behind. The kind of energy powerhouse trump wants to become, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same powerhouse that younger voters envision. We want an energy system that is inclusive eco-

*A FLATLANDERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Pet Peeve

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my pet peeves. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one hundred percent sure, but I believe certain things are called pet peeves because often the people involved are so inconsiderate that even pets, the most non-judgmental of creatures, become annoyed. I could be wrong. Anyway, it was one of my pet peeves and it was taken to the far extreme of peeviness (if there is such a word). Needing just a few items to make dinner, I stopped at the local supermarket on the way home from work. Picked up a can of tomato sauce, some pasta and some mozzarella cheese. My second grade math lessons kicked in and as I approached the various checkouts, I knew that I had less than enough to legally approach the fourteen items or less aisle. It was a reasonably busy Monday, being the day before the Fourth of July and folks, tourists and residents alike, were stocking up on supplies for the big day. Having only three items put me at an advantage, or so I thought. Most shoppers would be well over the fourteen items threshold and have to wait on line at the fifteen items and more checkouts. These are the kinds of shopping decisions that we all consciously make and have to live with. Seeing that the fourteen items or less line was thin, I approached with a smile.

My time on the fifteen items or more would come, but this day I would revel in the glow of a quick checkout. My state of reverie was quickly shattered, for as I was about to turn into the checkout aisle designed specifically for shoppers like myself, whose burden of cleverly packaged items was light, a small woman with a large shopping cart, cut me off into the line. She was dressed as though not a year-round resident, but more like one of our summer visitors. Still, I am not one to profile, so I will leave my observations on her appearance alone. It was her actions that I am here to tell about. Wielding the shopping cart like a World War II tank, her movements were not graceful, but rather clunky, but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to get in the way of this fast moving supermarket weapon. Stopping at the conveyor belt, she quickly collected herself and reached down into the shopping cart and started heaving the goods onto the belt. After about ten were quickly placed she looked at the cashier, and sheepishly said in her best Scarlett Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara voice: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have about twenty itemsâ&#x20AC;? and then, not waiting for approval or lack thereof, continued to heave items. Cereal, hot dogs, ice cream, cheese doodles, etc etc,, were now fighting for space on the conveyor belt. The cashier, young and obviously inexperienced at such spectacles of human hubris, began to scan. The women, still not done unloading her shopping cart, looked back at me with my meager handful, now feeling heavier in my hands as the minutes went by, and said with a practiced smile: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many items, would you like to go ahead of me?â&#x20AC;? Of course, it was too late,

I needed to witness so as to chronicle this moment of humankind for future generations to see where we as a race had come to in the year 2017. I shook my head and then began to count in my head the actual number of items she had with her. Over thirty. A bit more than her claim of twenty. Still, always ready to give a benefit of the doubt, I assumed that any person that could do this in the first place was also the kind of person who would count four bags of Cheese Doodles as one item. Or maybe it was just she was taught different math than me in second grade. When her order was rung up, it was time to begin to look through her purse for her payment. Possibly she thought she would be the millionth customer of the store and all would be free. When she had finished and clanged her way through the automatic doors, and out to the parking lot, I approached the cashier with my legal load. He looked a bit shell shocked, so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring up the matter with him. I left the supermarket and headed to my car, making my way through the plethora of abandoned shopping carts that weary shoppers no longer had the energy to place in the corrals (another pet peeve of mine). Years ago, I learned not to pass judgment without proof, but I would bet my paycheck that one of those carts was hers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called circumstantial evidence. Just a warning, she is still out there somewhere, so use caution. Visit Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.BrendanTSmith. com

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, July 13, 2017

Demagogues Bashing Obamacare Repeal Michelle Malkin is off this week. The following column is by Betsy McCaughey. Die-hard Obamacare defendSyndicated Columnist ers are out in force over July 4 to protest Republican repeal efforts. The protesters are falsely claiming the repeal will gut Medicaid, causing frail, indigent seniors to be evicted from nursing homes. It’s sheer demagoguery. But even these phony claims could have redeeming value if they get the public to take a closer look at nursing homes and see the filth, rampant infections and neglect -conditions routinely tolerated by our indifferent public officials. Indifference is the real culprit, not inadequate Medicaid money. For example, New York state pays among the highest Medicaid rates in the nation -- yet also tolerates some of the worst conditions. A shocking 40 percent of nursing homes in New York provide inferior care, according to federal ratings. That’s worse than 39 other states. Nationwide, one-third of nursing home residents suffer serious, often permanent, injuries due to neglect, according to a federal inspector general report. Incontinent residents languish in soiled diapers that lead to sores and infections; residents unable to eat and drink on their own develop severe dehydration; others suffer falls and internal injuries because of medical errors or overmedication. The deadliest problem is infection. A staggering 380,000 by Betsy McCaughey

nursing home residents a year die from infections, according to federal estimates. Not all are preventable. But nursing homes are infection cauldrons. The routine precautions taken in hospitals to limit infections -- such as testing patients for superbugs on admission, disinfecting rooms and equipment and keeping infected patients apart from others -- are ignored in nursing homes. Residents with staph infections are rolled into communal dining rooms and seated next to other residents. Superbugs contaminate bedrails, curtains and rehab equipment. Caregivers tasked with bathing and grooming residents go from one bed to the next, without using disposable gowns and gloves, spreading bacteria from resident to resident. Because even rudimentary infection prevention is lacking, one-quarter of residents pick up dangerous, drug-resistant bacteria, according to new research by Columbia University School of Nursing. Columbia’s Carolyn Herzig warns infection rates are increasing across the board and action is urgently needed. Medicaid recently adopted new standards calling for more infection precautions but delayed the start date to November 2019. Why delay when hundreds of thousands of elderly residents will die from infection in the meantime? Don’t count on the media to cover these deaths. The Washington Post is busy claiming repeal “takes a sledgehammer to Medicaid.” The New York Times reports that “steep cuts to Medicaid” will force some seniors out of their nursing homes. Here’s the truth: There are no “cuts.” Medicaid spending will continue to in-

In his new book “The Working Class Republican,” a by Rich Lowry bracingly reviContributing Writer sionist account of the 40th president, Henry Olsen answers “no.” One of the most astute political analysts at work today and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Olsen argues that Reagan’s politics bear the distinctive stamp of his origins as a New Deal Democrat. Olsen’s interpretation of what he calls “Reagan’s New Deal conservatism” is open to dispute. But he undoubtedly is correct that contemporary conservative politicians do Reagan -- and themselves -- a disservice by remembering him as an unremitting ideologue and tactical maximalist. As late as 1980, Reagan had still been a Democrat longer than he had been a Republican. As he put See mccaughey on 42 it, characteristically, in his 1984

acceptance speech, “Did I leave the Democratic Party, or did the leadership of that party leave not just me but millions of patriotic Democrats who believed in the principles and philosophy of that platform?” With an eye to these sorts of voters throughout his career and with a sensibility attuned to their concerns, Reagan didn’t simply replicate the let-it-all-hang-out, high-octane conservatism of Barry Goldwater. He never contested the idea that there should be a safety net. In his famous speech promoting Goldwater’s candidacy in 1964, Reagan stipulated, “We’re for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem.” That said, Reagan was hardly a friend of the welfare state. His 1964 speech attacked farm programs, government planning, welfare, the size and power of bureaucracy, and regulations

Killing The Land Of Lincoln There’s a reason why New Hampshire’s motto isn’t “Land of Pierce” the way Illinois’ motto is “Land of by Ken Gorrell Lincoln.” No Northfield, NH. disrespect to Franklin Pierce or his descendants, but our only native son in the White House was no Abraham Lincoln. On presidential lists, scholars routinely place “Honest Abe” in the top 3, while Pierce is in the bottom 3, blamed for not moving the nation away from the precipice of civil war. Lincoln was born in Kentucky and didn’t move to Illinois until he was 21. Ronald Reagan, a man known for his sunny California disposition and Golden State political life, was the only Illinois-born president. But Illinois has claimed Lincoln as its own. Given its endemic dysfunction, however, I think it should adopt a different non-native son – Barack Hussein Obama – for its motto. “Land of Obama” is a better fit. During the depths of its most recent budget debacle, when the state risked default and a junkrating on its bonds, Illinois lawmakers found time to name an 80-mile stretch of Interstate 55 after our 44th president. Democrat State Rep. LaShawn Ford, from Chicago, stated, “We can

imagine that then state Senator Obama made many trips between Springfield and Chicago on Interstate 55, so it is very fitting that we rename Interstate 55 as the Barack Obama Expressway.” Talk about a highway to Hell... Too bad this representative from a city where a person is murdered every 13 hours and the homicide clearance rate is about 13 percent couldn’t find a better use of taxpayer dollars. Perhaps the state will build a rest area along this part of I-55 named in honor of Rod Blagojevich, Illinois governor from 2002 to 2009. Blagojevich is currently serving a 14-year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of numerous corruption charges, including allegations that he tried to sell President Obama’s old Senate seat. Illinois’ history of extreme government dishonesty, corruption, and incompetence goes back decades, but the mangy chickens are finally coming home to roost. Taxpayers and businessmen are leaving the state in droves. According to Illinois Policy Institute, “Illinois has lost nearly 1.4 million residents on net over the last 20 years” at a cost to government estimated at “nearly $8 billion annually.” Illinois dropped to 6th most populous state this year, overtaken for 5th place by Pennsylvania. The Democrat-dominated legislature passed the state’s first

budget in three years by overriding the Republican governor’s veto. It imposes increased personal income and business taxes, but without any fiscal reforms. This will drive more taxpayers from the state. Illinois

has more than $15 billion in unpaid bills and owes a quarter of a trillion dollars to public employees when they retire. The state collects just $32 billion a year in taxes, so even if the govern-

Pyongyang Poker—North Korea Plays the World NEW YORK— We have seen this movie before and it never ends well. An arrogant and boastful dictator snubs by John J. Metzler the world and Syndicated Columnist threatens his neighbors. The international community frets in rightful indignation but does little to respond. As tensions rise, the world appears hostage to a bully. And then comes the inevitable spark. North Korea’s latest intercontinental ballistic missile launch on the 4th of July was intended as a double provocation; first showing Pyongyang’s rapidly advancing technology had reached a dangerous new stage, and second as a direct snub to the United States on its Independence Day. Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un was said to jest, “this is a gift for the Fourth of July.” While the United Nations Security Council met in urgent session and world powers chided the communist regime in Pyongyang for its provocative saber rattling, the stark reality remains that the quaintly titled Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has taken its missile program to a whole new level and gotten away with it. Before long DPRK missiles can reach American territory, and perhaps within two years, those rockets can be fitted with nuclear warheads. What then? The North Korean nuclear crisis has been brewing for a generation. Early in the proliferation process in 1994, the United States nearly went to war with

the rogue regime in June as the Clinton Administration was on the verge of launching a massive military strike. But months later in October, the same Administration settled on an “Agreed Framework” a dangerous diplomatic deal which took military options off the table in exchange for Pyongyang’s presumed political concessions and promises of non-proliferation. Pyongyang played the U.S. and world powers as patsies and relentlessly pursed both proliferation and a parallel missile program to launch and deliver nuclear warheads. On July 4th 2009, the new Obama Administration was shocked by a DPRK salvo of seven rockets menacing Japan and South Korea. But despite tough UN sanctions on its already moribund economy, North Korea has not imploded nor collapsed as most experts have been predicting for decades. Instead the totalitarian regime under the mercurial Kim Jong-un has built a threatening nuclear arsenal, which in the eyes of Pyongyang, affords the otherwise isolated DPRK security and regime survival. So, should the world community nervously allow the DPRK into the nuclear club in the hope that it’s Pyongyang’s political bottom line, or finally confront North Korea during this narrowing window of opportunity? The DPRK remains a bizarre Marxist monarchy which has ruled the northern half of the peninsula since 1948. Current ruler Kim Jong-un is the third in the family line which started with his grandfather Kim Ilsung who started the Korean See Metzler on 42

Present and Past Patriots Time to showcase my friend Mike Cutler found at Front PageMag. com, and often on my radio by Niel Young Advocates Columnist program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or during a 70-minute personal conversation at home! It is time that when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;compassion cardâ&#x20AC;? is brought out- the issue of compassion must first take into account the safety and well-being of America and Americans. There is nothing compassionate about committing suicide! Michael Cutler is a retired Senior Special Agent of the former INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) whose career spanned some 30 years. He served as an Immigration Inspector, Immigration Adjudications Officer and spent 26 years as an agent who rotated through all of the squads within the Investigations Branch. For half of his career he was assigned to the Drug Task Force. He has testified before well over a dozen congressional hearings, provided testimony to the 9/11 Commission as well as state legislative hearings around the United States and at trials where immigration is at issue. He hosts his radio show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Michael Cutler Hour,â&#x20AC;? on Friday evenings on BlogTalk Radio. His personal website is http://michaelcutler. net/. I urge you to get involved and demand our elected representatives actually represent usWe the People! The information contained in my article is being provided to educate as many of our fellow Americans as

possible so that they can ask the right questions and make the appropriate demands on our political leaders and representatives and political candidates. Please pass this suggestion to as many folks as you can! America, first and foremost, is comprised of its citizens not rivers parks and cities. We have never had more American citizens, especially minority citizens, living below the poverty level. We now expect that American kids will not do as well as their parents. This is not how we will get America to lead. Simply stated, American Lives Matter!! One of the points of contention where political â&#x20AC;&#x153;liberalsâ&#x20AC;? and political â&#x20AC;&#x153;conservativesâ&#x20AC;? are concerned is how much government is appropriate, with conservatives demanding less government and liberals generally believing in more government, an issue that should be agreed upon by all reasonable Americans is the need for our government to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws. This should not be a divisive issue- our immigration laws are completely and utterly blind as to race, religion and ethnicity and were enacted for the two primary purposes of protecting innocent lives and protecting the jobs of American workers. All reasonable Americans want to live in safety where the American dream provides opportunities for anyone who is willing to acquire an education work hard and benefit from a bit of luck. They want the same for their children and their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children. How on earth could there be any controversy about

the need to prevent criminals or terrorists from entering the United States? How on earth could anyone think that it is good for Americans to have to compete with foreign workers from Third World countries for their jobs- forcing wages down, thereby creating wage suppression? If ever there was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;No brainerâ&#x20AC;? issue- you would have to believe it would be the fair and effective enforcement of our immigration laws. ******** Richard Henry Lee Founding Father: introduced the resolution to adopt the Declaration of Independence in June of 1776 : â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why then sir, why do we longer delay? Why still deliberate? Let this happy day give birth to an American Republic. Let her arise not to devastate and to conquer but to reestablish the reign of peace and law. The eyes of Europe are fixed upon us. She demands of us a living example of freedom that may exhibit a contrast in the felicity of the citizen to the ever-increasing tyranny which desolates her polluted shores. She invites us to prepare an asylum where the unhappy may find solace, and the persecuted repose. If we are not this day wanting in our duty, the names of the American legislators of 1776 will be placed by posterity at the side of all of those whose memory has been and ever will be dear to virtuous men and good citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Are You Ready to Be an Entrepreneur? July is Independent Retailer Month. As you know, local stores bring vitality, creativity and economic growth to their communities, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth celebrating those â&#x20AC;&#x153;mom and popâ&#x20AC;? shops. But they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only entrepreneurs in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 10 percent of workers in the U.S. are self-employed, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking of joining these ranks, you may want to prepare yourself financially. For one thing, you may need to pay more in taxes, depending on your income. Self-employed individuals typically have to pay twice the amount in Social Security and Medicare taxes because they have to cover the portion that employers normally pay.

My first trip to Europe was in 1999 which landed me in Germanyâ&#x20AC;Ś but that is another story for another review. But the land I really want to visit (bucket list) is from where my heritage comes. Scotland is the place where I long to visit and see where rich history was written. There are some really amazing things that have come from Scotland. Inventors from this land brought us the first toaster, refrigerator, flushing toilet, and television. The game of golf was first played in Scotland while bicycles, telephones, penicillin and of course whiskey were all products from folks who grew up there. But for our references today, we will concentrate on a brewery that has been world renown for centuries, Belhaven Brewery. Belhaven is located in Dunbar, Scotland, where monks have been producing finely crafted ales since 1150 AD. In 1719 an enterprising gent named J o h n J o h n s t o n e p u rchased some land near Belhaven Bay, (Belhaven means Beautiful Harbour) and reconfigured the brewery to be more productive in its new pristine home. Over the years, Belhaven has kept ahead of the production needs and today is a modern brew house capable of energy efficient brewing to meet the masses consumption.

gest brewed and most popular creation. One should not confuse this beer with a Scotch Ale style, also known as Wee Heavy, which is a fullerbodied and higher ABV edition. Opening the 16 oz can, one will immediately recognize the release of nitrogen carbonation. This is because of widget within the can that releases its gas upon open the can, giving the poured beer a creamy rich head filled with microfine bubbles.

picked up. Although I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick up too much of the advertised nutty qualities, the balance of hops to malt weighed a bit into the malt, probably by design for this ale style. With a 5.2% ABV, Scottish Ale does not ruffle your kilt as would the Wee Heavy at 7.4% alcohol by volume.

Contributing Writer

Our story began in Hinsdale, New Hampshire on July 27, 1755 when Jemima Howe and her children along with two other women and their offspring were taken captive by Indians who intended to take them to Montreal and sell them to French people in that city. The British and French were at war and the native Americans sided with the French in that conflict. The Indians considered the captives their property and to some extent separated the mothers from their children, but Mrs. Howe was allowed to keep her baby boy with her for a period of time. The captives were living among the Indians and as winter approached Mrs. Howe was concerned that she and her baby wouldn’t be able to survive living as the natives did and pestered them with repeated requests for them to attempt to sell her to a French family in Canada. Her request was finally granted and she was taken to Montreal with her baby by some male Indians, a trip that she found difficult because of having little food, the cold weather, and generally bad travel conditions. She was taken to a house of a French gentleman who summoned his wife to examine her, but when the lady saw that Mrs. Howe had a baby she exclaimed “I will not buy a woman

Also, soon after her return, her baby whom the Indians considered their property, was taken from her, and in her words “The babe clung to my bosom with all its might; but I was obliged to pluck it thence, and deliver it, shrieking and screaming, enough to penetrate a heart of stone, into the hands of those unfeeling wretches, whose tender mercies may be termed cruel.” The young child was taken by a hunting party to the lower part of Lake Champlain to a place by the name of Messiskow. About a month later Mrs. Howe was taken to the same location and was

allowed to have her baby for a few nights, although he was taken to a different wigwam during the day, and she was then moved to a different location. Mrs. Howe continued the story of her captivity telling of spending the winter on different islands on the lake, moving periodically. She said her immediate “family” that winter consisted of four people, herself, her “sisier” (apparently the daughter of the old squaw called her “mother”), and her sanhop (husband?) and a papoose. These apparently shared a wigwam. Howe said that on one occasion they left her alone for two nights and that on their return they told her that two of her children were dead, so she grieved for them and was greatly troubled in her mind until, she indicated that by Providence she was given relief.

HORSES, SKIING, AND MARINES “Incongruous” means “out of place” or “not harmonious in character.” So a July sports column for a New Hampshire newspaper about winter skiing in California’s High Sierra Mountains certainly seems incongruous. But here goes. The Marine Corps has a base tucked away in these mountains known as the Mountain Warfare Training Center. It was established in 1951, during the Korean War, when American forces showed a need to better operate in snowy mountains. Later, in 1956, MWTC was the site for filming of the movie “Hold Back the Night,” about the Korean War’s epic Chosin Reservoir battle, where the 1st Marine Division— surrounded in the North Korean mountains by ten Red Chinese Divisions— fought its way to the sea. The movie starred Chuck Connors, who was an original Boston Celtic ten years earlier. MWTC remains a venue to train mountain leaders and entire units on how to succeed under extreme conditions. I was sent there to become a “Mountain Leader” in 1985. Being from New Hampshire, I was no stranger to snow. But as a basketball guy, I’d never skied in my life. The Marines taught me to ski uphill, downhill, and sideways, with a rifle and a big pack on my back. Being 6-foot-4, the rifle and pack made me top-heavy and I took many a spill. But one soon learns how to fall or

It was at MWTC that I became a fan of the Olympic Biathlon—which requires skiing and shooting. While on weekend liberty in ‘85, seven comrades and I found our way to Squaw Valley, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics, where Laconia’s Penny Pitou won two silver medals. The USMC training paid off as we flew down the slopes. The next day we joined a staunchly pro-49er crowd at a big resort at Lake Tahoe where the San Francisco fans cheered Joe Montana and company to a lopsided Super Bowl victory over Dan Marino’s Miami Dolphins. Then we returned to the desolate mountain outpost for more extreme training. I later did winter training deployments to MWTC with both active duty and reserve battalions. Marines either hated it or loved it. I loved it. Many years later I was happy to collaborate with MGen Orlo K. Steele

smith from 17

One day while walking on the ice she saw smoke in the distance and, assuming it was coming from an Indian hut, continued walking towards it in hope that she might find one of her children there. To her delight she found her son, two or three year old Caleb, there, in good health, apparently being well cared for by an Indian mother and in her words “…had the happiness of lodging with him in my arms one joyful night.” After that she was moved

again to a place ten or twelve miles away where the Indians were making maple sugar. An Indian man whom she knew and who could speak English visited her and asked her why she didn’t visit her son, Squire. On telling him that she had been told that Squire was dead he replied that not only was the child alive, he was staying on the opposite side of the lake, about two or three miles away. Mrs. Howe received permission to have a day to visit her son, Squire, and the Indi-

ans gave her some bread to take with her. When she met her son she thought him to look “like a starved and mangy puppy, that had been wallowing in the ashes.” Upon entering the wigwam she saw a number of Indian children, all of whom she gave some of her bread, and observed that Squire seemed to be fond of his Indian “mother”. He did, however, stay as close as he could to his natural mother, and “fell as though he had been knocked down as a club” when she told him she had to go. Though she “recommended him to the care of Him who made him”, Jemima Howe, who had by this time been informed that her youngest child had died, indicated that she mourned more for the living child she had to leave behind than the deceased. With the coming of summer the party moved to

Community Church of Alton

St. Johns and camped near a fort at that location. Howe’s Indian sister’s husband would sometimes get drunk which left him in a bad mood which usually resulted in the abuse of his wife. Apparently while on a scouting expedition he had participated in a drunken party and his wife and Mrs. Howe decided to stay away from the wigwam for a while to escape his wrath. Mrs. Howe, however, was the first to enter the wigwam and her “sister’s” husband , still in a “surly mood” , and not having his wife to take his anger out on, grabbed Mrs. Howe and took her to the fort, where, for a small amount, he sold her to a French man named Sacapee. She felt like she had gained freedom by becoming a part of this new family and stated her new master and mistress were reasonably kind to her and granted the few requests she made of them. With the help of the governor and a Col. Schuyler she was able to be reunited with several of her children. Col. Schuyler paid the ransom to gain her freedom and that of three of her children and took them from Montreal to Albany where they were allowed to live in his house

for some period of time. Jemima, whose maiden name was Sawtelle, married a third time to a Mr. Tute, had two additional children, and died on March 7, 1805 at the age of 82. Her body is buried in a cemetery in North Vernon, Vermont across the river from Hinsdale, New Hampshire. Fort Francis in Canada, the location from which many of the Indians sent out on raids of the American colonists were based, was attacked by the British forces led by Lt. Col. Robert Rogers commanding his 140 Roger’s Rangers on Oct. 4, 1759 , and many of the inhabitants were killed. Though Rogers reportedly had orders not to kill the women and children, most of those slaughtered (apparently there was little resistance) were said to have been the women, children, and elderly persons. Estimates of the number of casualties ranged from thirty to three hundred. Robert Rogers was also from New Hampshire, coming here with his parents in 1731 when he was eight years old and living in what is now Dunbarton. He served in the New Hampshire militia before becoming part of the British military.

NH Perks Versus European Quirks Do You Speak....?

by Dale Helen Maguire Contributing Writer

Generally speaking, in America, we can assume that most people we run across will speak our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official language. However, multilingual countries, such as Belgium (French/ Flemish/German), effectively communicating with their countrymen is not always as easy. There is also the added expense for supporting multiple languages to not only the government, but also to local communities/businesses and companies doing business there. Thus, one can argue that all expenses are doubled. Take, for instance, business and advertising. All product advertisements must be available in all the official languages. All product labels must likewise offer their ingredients, n u t r i t i on information and instructions etc... in each. Further, legal documentation for corporate operations, importation and/or distribution will need to be prepared likewise. So, you can see how this might double your required marketing investment. Though we have noted many products in Belgium have their label information in more than just Flemish, German and French, probably because they are also distributed to other European Union (EU) nations. For local communities, on the other hand, there seems to be a dominant or official community language that is most often regionally influ-

enced. There are two official regions (similar in comparison to US states in their responsibility to their residents): Brussels, Walloon and Flanders. The language spoken in the Flemish region is a very close cousin to Dutch, which is spoken by its northern neighbor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Netherlands (or Holland as many call it). The languages or tongues spoken in the Walloon region are German and French. The French spoken is slightly different than Parisian French and German is only spoken in a very small area, not surprisingly, bordering Germany. Because Brussels is the capital city, it is bi-lingual â&#x20AC;&#x201C; French/ Dutch â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which are the two official languages of the Belgian government. But really, it is not so harmonious as it would seem on the ground or practical level. Not all Belgians speak all the official languages. There are definite community language lines of demarcation. These are quite clearly designated by the barber-pole striped color of the town center light posts - red and white (French), black and yellow (Flemish) or black and white (German). Given the official community language all communications will be written in either French, Flemish or German. By law, however, residents can request correspondences be translated to any of the other official languages- though it is frowned upon. In fact, when you go to the town hall - HĂ´tel de Ville (French)/ Stadhuis(Flemish) or Rathaus(German) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you and the government officials are required to conduct all business in the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official language. English is not one of them. Further, training in

the schools in each of the regions is conducted in their official regional language. The other official languages of Belgium may or may not be offered â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it depends on the school. Interestingly, the Flemish and German schools generally require students study French and English also; whereas it is not a necessity for the children in the French Walloon areas. This would explain why many EU children speak more than one languageout of necessity. Given all of these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;complicationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with a multilingual society, one might argue against it. In fact, history proves that such lines of division between neighbors due to the differences encompassed

friends, we made a side trip to Lake Tahoe, and then another side trip to MWTC on July 4th. Being used to seeing the base covered with snow, the beauty of the place in the summer was stunning, though the mountain peaks above the base still featured plenty of snow after a particularly harsh winter. Staff Sergeant Christian Stark was on duty and he gave us a brief tour of the base, including a visit to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legacy Hutâ&#x20AC;? which highlighted MWTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and displayed various types of equipment over the years. I was pleased to see our monograph history book prominently displayed. I mentioned to SSgt Stark that his namesake, General John Stark, was New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest military hero. The young Marine said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d try to see if he was related. We also ran into Marines on horses, which was new to me. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use horses in the winter, but it was cool to see equestrian training at MWTC. The Olympics feature equestrian events, which, like the biathlon, have limited popular followings in America, but the horses gave me a Sport-Thought to weave into this incongruous July sports column about a remote USMC base in northern California. New Hampshire poet Robert Frost expressed pleasure that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d once followed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a road less taken.â&#x20AC;? The road to MWTC is certainly one less taken, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that my lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey took me up California Route 108 into those remote mountains, where the Marine Corps instructors used the harsh conditions to forge strong character in strong characters. And they also taught us to ski. For free! Sports Quiz How many Gold Medals have Americans won in the biathlon since the sport became an official event at the Squaw Valley Winter Olympics in 1960?

Comedian Lynn Roberts as Bob Hope and his sidekick Chuck Carson. families and friends would huddle around their radios listing to drama, adventure, and comedy shows. The radio brought Americans together by creating a common culture everyone shared. The programs were presented live, including the sound effects and commercials. On the Air takes you back to those days when radio was king by recre-

ating a NBC radio comedy show from the 1940s. Lynn Roberts impersonates Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Durante, and Red Skelton. When you see Roberts on stage, it’s difficult to tell him from the real comedians. Chuck Carson acts as the announcer and does the sound effects and the commercials. The show provides an evening of nostalgia for older folks and introduces younger folks to a unique form of entertainment they’re bound to enjoy. The Wright Museum of World War II, located 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro, NH is open daily from May 1 to October 31. The Museum is a not-forprofit educational institution that focuses on the American home front as well as on the war front during World War II.

Great Waters Music Festival Offers Free Performance On Friday, July 21 Great Waters Music Festival will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adrienne Danrich â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This Little Light of Mineâ&#x20AC;? at Anderson Hall in Wolfeboro. Winner of the 2011 Chicago/Midwest EMMYÂŽ. Outstanding Crafts Achievement for On Camera Talent-Program Performer. The performance tells the stories of Marian Anderson and Leontyne Price. Adrienne Danrich captures the essence of the personalities and artistry of these two great artist/ pioneers. Her storytelling ability and the beauty of her voice combine to bring the accomplishments of these great women to audiences that will never

hear them â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;liveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Written by Adrienne Danrich under a commission from the Cincinnati Opera, This Little Light of Mine is an inventive one-woman musical tribute honoring the ground breaking careers of two African-American opera legends who overcame many racial barriers from the Jim Crow era through the Civil Rights Movement to become international opera stars. Ms. Anderson became the first AfricanAmerican singer to perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Ms. Price would take that torch and carry it to The Metropolitan Opera and the most prestigious opera houses around the

world. Best described as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;live documentaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Ms. Danrich creatively documents their lives by showing poignant multi-media images of the pair at different stages in their lives and playing audio excerpts of some of their most famous recordings. Tickets for the performance are free, however, tickets will be required for entry and are available by calling the Great Waters office at 54 N. Main St. in Wolfeboro, or on their website at www.greatwaters.org, or by calling the box office at (603) 5697710. Donations are appreciated. The show will start at 7:30pm

that â&#x20AC;&#x153;have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards.â&#x20AC;? He extolled the common man, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the forgotten American,â&#x20AC;? and his innate dignity. In his first inaugural address, Reagan hailed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets, man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sick -- professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers.â&#x20AC;? He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support tax cuts for the rich so much as tax cuts for everyone, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obsess over entrepreneurship. He had a pragmatic cast. In his campaign for governor of California, he noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;public officials are elected primarily for one purpose -- to solve public problems.â&#x20AC;? Hostile to taxes, he nevertheless

raised them as governor of California in response to a budget crisis, and as president as part of a Social Security deal. A freetrader, he brushed back the Japanese on trade. Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tone and program, coupled with his generational talent as a politician, allowed him to unlock the working-class vote in his races for governor and president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Reagan Democratâ&#x20AC;? has been part of our political vocabulary ever since. It is telling how President Don-

ald Trump -- not having learned the purported lessons of Reagan -- was able to go and get these voters in a way that Republican politicians bound by Reaganite truisms were not. Reagan was a constitutional conservative, although an exceptionally gifted one who understood how to meet Americans where they live. In this important book, Henry Olsen reminds us how.

head right off of Route 11 in Gilford about 3 miles east of the Laconia Airport. The parking lot entrance is marked with a brown hiker icon highway sign. Charlie and I knew we would be driving by the Lockes Hill so we planned to do the short hike. We decided to make a 1.8 mile counterclockwise loop by going up the Lakeview Trail and coming down the Quarry Trail.

Pick up a map and trail guide from the mailbox near the Lakeview Trailhead. The Lakeview Trial is 0.65 miles and the trail begins on the right as you enter the parking lot. The Quarry Trail is 1.15 miles and its trialhead is at the far end of the parking lot. The two trails make a nice loop that is only 1.8 miles and climbs about 500 vertical feet. The Lakeview Trail begins on the right just as you enter the parking lot. There is a sign and be sure to take a

trail guide from the mailbox here. The Lakeview Trail switchbacks as the trail climbs up the slope, there are many rock steps. Along the trails are interpretive stations that are fun to read to learn about the Kimball Wildlife Forest and its inhabitants. Nearing the top of the hill we reached “The Glade” –a cleared area for wildlife habitat and to open the vista. We had only hiked half a mile with less than 500 vertical feet of climbing and we were wowed by the view.

We continued to the top and there was a spur path to a distance viewer and another fine vista. This perch allowed us to see further to the west. The Lakeview Trail meets the Quarry trail at the Lockes Hill beacon, a light on top of a utility pole for the benefit of warning airplanes headed to the Laconia Airport.

We poked around the top and found yet a third distance viewer at an opening with a good view of Gunstock and Belknap Mountains. We headed down the Quarry Trail and it was less rocky and had a softer footbed. The hemlock forest turned into a hardwoods as we got off the ridge. We passed by an area that had been recently logged and we decided to leave the trail and check out the view from newly opened area. We looked west and could see a hazy view of Mount Cardigan.

and knew she had to do something with it. It was a photograph of Corporal Frank Johnson during World War II and it reminded Cyma of her older brother and his stories of his friendships he developed during the war and how he maintained them throughout the years. “I became passionate about it and knew now I wanted to tell their stories,” said Cyma. After thinking about the best way to present such an important photographic exhibit, Cyma began researching and realized in order to tell the real story she would have to begin with the Civil War and go all the way to the War in Iraq. “Each war, as far as the soldiers go, is related to the wars that came after

soldiers, no matter which war, they look the same.” It took three years, going over about four thousand photographs, found in museums and other resources, to find the best photos for the exhibit. “There wasn’t a niche that we didn’t investigate,” said Rubin. After exhibiting around the country for the last ten years, Cyma wanted to see the exhibit in a Military Museum. She sent

Each section starts with a quote from a soldier involved in each of the wars. Each quote selected from many that were researched by Cyma. The Civil War section,

William Carny was the first African-American recipient of the Medal of Honor. He was awarded for his gallantry in saving the regimental colors during the battle of Fort Wagner in 1863. In one of the Civil War photographs, a soldier poses with his wife and children and family dog. “When the exhibition See soldier on 39

A photograph of soldiers trudging through mud in the Argonne Forest gives a true feel to what these soldiers endured. The World War II section begins with a triage of photographs showing the Normandy landing on D-Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One woman who saw the exhibit told me that her father had survived D-Day,â&#x20AC;? said Cyma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then

One of the World War II photos was the one of soldier Frank Johnson that Cyma had saved from the cover of the New York Times magazine back in 2003. Johnson from Brooklyn, New York was photographed after his first night of combat during the Battle of The Bulge, wrapped in a blanket, smoking a cigarette while lying upon a pile of other blankets.

rea and then to Vietnam. It is impossible here to describe each dramatic photograph, but one of Vietnamese children gazing at a U.S Paratropper holding a grenade launcher as they huddle against a canal bank for protection from Viet Cong, will forever stick in my mind. One photo of the Vietnam war shows only helicopters and no soldiers. “I was very hesitant about the photos of just the choppers,” said Cyma, “But they were such a big part of Vietnam that I included it.” Color photographs are introduced as the exhibit moves to the Gulf War and then the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many of those pictures will strike the viewer close to the heart as those wars are very recent in our memories. Cyma also feels the importance of getting younger people to see exhibits like this as they are the “Future of Tomorrow” and need to understand that

war in 1950. Though Pyongyang has never renounced the use of force to reunify the divided peninsula, regime wrath is far deeper to Japan and the U.S. than it is to fellow Korean cousins in the successful and democratic South. Significantly, Seoul, the prosperous South Korean capital, sits dangerously close to the DMZ and thus is held hostage to any military miscalculation. So can the Trump Administration willfully look the other way to the DPRK’s clear and present danger of nuclear armed missiles which may soon reach the USA?

Realistically the current threat focuses on the DPRK’s medium-term capacity to launch missiles on Japanese territory, especially the Okinawa Islands which also host American military bases. U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told the UN Security Council, “North Korea’s destabilizing escalation is a threat to all nations in the region and beyond. Their actions are quickly closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution.” The People’s Republic of China remains North Korea’s historic comrade and main trading partner. Yet, even Beijing is nervous with Pyongyang’s rogue regime. China still props up the DPRK rulers not so much so that they prosper but to keep them from collapsing. China fears Korean reunification would extend U.S. influence up to its frontier. But Beijing would be the biggest loser from any Korean nuclear confrontation. China’s extraordinary economic development and commercial trade lifelines could be jolted by a regional conflict. Foreign investments on the Mainland would stagnate. Tourism would disappear. Refugees would flow. China’s hard won socio/economic prosperity is thus held hostage to the whims and antics of Kim Jongun’s reckless political tantrums. There’s still a narrow window for diplomacy in which the U.S., Japan, South Korea and yes, China work together to defuse this crisis. Is Kim really worth it to China? The U.S. should make that case.

crease every year, though at a slower rate. The real threat to seniors isn’t Medicaid funding levels. It’s that Medicaid officials tolerate substandard nursing home care, when they could use the program’s market clout to demand safer care. About 66 percent of long-term residents are paid for by Medicaid. The federal government rates nursing homes from one to five stars, based on periodic inspections, staffing levels, infection rates and other quality measures. But even nursing homes that get the lowest one-star rating year after year -- indicating substandard care -- are allowed to stay open. They should be shut down. From Baton Rouge to Chicago, and in smaller towns across the country, protesters and Democratic politicians are fear-mongering that seniors will die on the streets if repeal passes. Governor Andrew Cuomo is holding health care events across New York this week, parroting the Democratic Party’s false claims. In truth, Cuomo’s one of the culprits. On his watch, low-rated nursing homes are getting Medicaid money. New York has begun rewarding toprated homes with slightly higher payments -- an idea worth duplicating in other states. But Cuomo and other politicians need to do more to stand up to the powerful nursing home industry. Frail, elderly nursing home residents shouldn’t be made to suffer. That’s the goal protesters and politicians should focus on. Enough with the partisan scare tactics. Betsy McCaughey is Chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths www.hospitalinfection. org.

ment closed its doors and fired everyone, it would take more than 6 months of taxes to just catch up with past-due bills. It can’t ever make the public pension numbers work. State comptroller Susana Mendoza told lawmakers, “It is almost hard to say those numbers out loud because they seem so insane, but that’s where we are right now.” Even the lottery pulled out of Illinois over concerns the state wouldn’t be able to pay winners. “Left by the Lottery” sounds like a sad county song. Perhaps Neil Young could update “Alabama,” his morose 1972 ballad best-known for spawning Lynyrd Skynyrd’s raucous musical reply, “Sweet Home Alabama,” with lyrics aimed at what ails Illinois.

While most of the human capital is flowing to neighboring states, NH leaders should find ways to encourage Illinois refugees to come here.

They could teach NH Democrats – and some who call themselves Republican – a thing or two about what happens when state government treats taxpayers and businessmen like serfs on its manor. Winnipesaukee is not a Great Lake, but it has its charms. We have ocean beaches and mountains that Illinois lacks. Our weather isn’t any worse and our business climate is much better. Unlike Illinois, we strive to live up to our state motto. And getting here is easy: Fly non-stop from Midway to Manchester on Southwest. Their bags will fly free, but they should leave their political baggage behind.
