Hiking North, Middle & South Tripyramid From Waterville Valley by Amy Patenaude Outdoor/Ski Columnist
“Waterville Haystacks” was an early name for Mount Tripyramid, the big threesummit mountain that rests between Waterville Valley and south of the Kancamagus Highway in Albany. There are options to make a loop over these peaks from Waterville Valley and the Kanc. The most challenging and spectacular route is the
Mount Tripyramid Trail via the North and South Slides from Livermore Road. The North and Middle summits are included in the Appalachian Mountain Club’s 4,000 Footer List, ranked 33rd & 35th. This was Bria’s first time up the North Slide. I haven’t been up the North Slide in a number of years and I was happy to do it again. We met early at the LiverSee PATENAUDE on 34

This program is free and open to the public; reservations are recommended. Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required may Abenaki to go ‘underground’ - concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution.

The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum will host Jeff Klenotic’s program “A Theater Near You” on Wednesday, August 8th, at 7 PM. Klenotic will present examples and interactive maps from his ongoing research and digital archive, which charts every venue where movies played in the Granite State, from the time of film’s origins in 1896 to the rise of television in the 1940s. Jeff Klenotic, who is the Coordinator of the Communication Arts Program at UNH in Manchester, pioneered Mapping Movies in 2003 as a desktop Geographic Information System (GIS). Mapping Movies is founded on a simple premise: Where we watch movies matters. Whatever the environment – cinema, town hall, church, airplane, hotel, school, living room, mobile device or elsewhere – Mapping Movies explores how people and movies interact in places that vary and change over time. The goal of the Mapping Movies project is to discover the social, technological, and industrial forces that produce the infrastructure for these interactions, and to map the cultural patterns formed through and upon them.

Our Story
Regarding Kulus Letter To The Editor: I was reading the letter from Dr. Chester Kulus This morning and have a reply. I refer to the Thursday July 12th edition. I understand where he is coming from. I grew up as a protestant. I converted to the Catholic Church as a teenager. I investigated the Mary issue. It says in the United states conference of Catholic Bishops That we are to honor mother Mary but that she is one of us, not God. We are never encouraged to worship her. The saints, though they lived a holy life did not write the laws of God or His church. They also had errors. I quote 2112 and 2113 Part 3 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2112 The First commandment condemns polytheism. It requires man neither to believe in, nor to venerate, other divinities then the one true God. 2113 Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God... Many martyrs died for not adoring the beast refusing even to simulate such worship. The highest form of honor, adoration is given to God alone. The Catholic
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
Church has always, and will always teach this. For example, the Catholic Church refuted the Collyridians in the fourth century because they did adore Mary. If someone professes to give this highest honor to Mary, they sadly cannot become a Catholic until they repent of this most serious error. We are to honor Mary but only as a saint and mother of Christ. Our Lord was subject to her in the flesh. But he gave glory to God alone. He loves her as His mother. No other person has this honor. We ask for her intersession, but pray and adore only God alone. Catholics do not worship Mary or idols. We worship God alone. We would be committing a grievous sin if we put anything before or in place of the one true God. And may I add, The saints, though they lived a holy life did not write the laws of God or His church. They also had errors. And may I suggest a great book written by Scott Hahn, a doctor in theology. Called Rome Sweet Home. Hope Dube Tilton NH.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
A Life On Solid Ground
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
“I’m glad I wasn’t born a Flying Wallenda.” I say things like this to myself when things look a little dark, which for me can be brought on by things as simple as a leaky faucet. If you have followed this column over the years, you might know that I am not the handiest of people. A small interruption in the Force, like a shower that suddenly doesn’t want to drain, can bring my comfortable world to a screeching halt. At times like these I often berate myself for not having paid more attention as a kid, or even as a middle-aged man. If I had only watched my very handy and able grandfather as he fixed this or that, and asked some questions, I may have understood the basic “Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey” concept years earlier than I did. As a kid, I was more absorbed with reading and writing. I collected comic books, wrote plays in grammar school, immersed myself in novels. I never really got close to the hammer, screwdriver and wrench. So, when things go wrong today, I often silently curse myself for not having paid closer attention when I was younger. I use the one skill I have acquired for these circumstances; using the phone to call up those who did pay attention. It is then that the open-
ing line to this column pops into my head. “I’m glad I wasn’t born a Flying Wallenda.” I realize that as much as I don’t know, I would have been miserable as a kid if I had been forced to focus on those things instead of what I truly enjoyed. We all have different passions. Unfortunately, not all of us are encouraged to pursue them. Maybe this was a typical conversation in the morning at the Wallenda household. “C’mon kids, finish your breakfast we have a lot of high wire walking to train for this morning.” “Dad, would it be okay if I skipped today? I want to go try out for the school play.” “You’re not going anywhere mister. You are a Flying Wallenda and this is what you do. Now go and get your balancing pole and meet me outside in five minutes!” “Aw, gee Dad.” I could substitute the name Wallenda with any other number of wellknown families whose offspring’s future endeavors are pretty much determined by their last name alone. For example. “When I grow up I want to create something that will be a benefit to all of mankind.” “That’s silly dear. You’re a Kardashian. You don’t have to do a thing and you will make millions because people will think you are important even though they will have no idea why. Why do all that extra work?” “You’re right mom. What was I thinking?” My dad was a successful businessman, but he never tried to get any of his children involved in his business, though I’m sure if any of us showed an interest in following in
his footsteps, he would have been happy to show us the ropes. All of us, my three brothers, two sisters and myself, followed our own paths and followed them wherever they might lead. I didn’t fall right into a career as a writer and editor, even though that was where my thinking was at when I was younger. I took the long route with jobs like bartending, training racehorses and even restaurant management until I ended up here, writing these columns. It was a tightrope walk of its own, I didn’t know exactly where everything was leading to, and not everything went as I had expected, but I enjoyed the journey since no one was forcing me to do any of it. The mistakes I made were all mine, but so were the successes. The latter always made the former less painful. So today, when a leaky faucet or other minor catastrophe intrudes upon my life, I take that initial reaction that my small world is falling into chaos for a moment in time and then quickly come to my senses. If I had been born a Wallenda, not only would my faucet be dripping, but I also might be dealing with the anxiety of getting ready for a tightrope walk across Niagara Falls. And heights make me more nervous than trying to figure out how to use a crescent wrench.

Boston University’s Fake-O-Nomics Darling `It costs a pretty penny to earn a diploma in stupid. The annual list price to attend Boston University -- includby Michelle Malkin i n g t u i t i o n , Syndicated Columnist fees, room and board -currently rounds out to $70,000. To acquire a degree in economics from this tony institution of higher learning, an undergrad must complete courses in calculus, microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, empirical economics, statistics and assorted electives. Four years, 52 credits and nearly $300,000 later, the school promises that BU economics majors will depart “with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory” and the “empirical skills that are essential to applying economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world.” How, then, to explain the abject economic illiteracy of meteoric media darling and democratic socialist “political rock star” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? The 28-year-old BU alumna graduated with an economics and international relations degree in 2011. She calls herself a “nerd” and bragged about her academic credentials, tweeting earlier this month: “How many other House Democrats have a degree in Economics like I do? Trying to find who out here is going to be in the Gini Coefficient Appreciation Squad.” The upstart New York congressional candidate has been hailed by pundits, newspapers
and pols as “sharp,” “smart” and “extraordinary.” BU’s Associate Provost and Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore gushed that Ocasio-Cortez is “brilliant -- she is boldly curious and always present. She makes me think and could always see multiple sides of any issue. ... I can’t wait to see what happens when her time truly comes.” But when the time came to put her BU economics education to work, Ocasio-Cortez flunked. On PBS last week, she asserted that “unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs.” Moreover, the erudite B.A. holder in economics posited, “unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids.” Egad. This nonsense needs more unpacking than a crosscountry Mayflower moving truck. The unemployment rate, which stands at a historically low 4 percent, is calculated by extrapolating and dividing the number of people out of work by the total number of individuals in the American work force. If you have one job, two jobs, three jobs or more, you don’t count as unemployed. Whether you are working 40 hours or 80 hours or 120 hours a week, if you’re working, that has no effect on the unemployment rate, either. The number of workers moonlighting and the number of hours they moonlight have zero, zip and nada effect on the unemployment rate. Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that “everyone has two jobs” is more fake-o-nomics. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the number of Americans holding down multiple jobs is less than 5 percent and has been declining

Banning Straws Want to sip a refreshing beverage this summer? If environmental zealots and sycophants get their way, you won’t be allowed to by John Stossel Syndicated Columnist sip it through a plastic straw. Actress Nina Nelson and other celebrities made a video claiming that plastic straws kill sea life: “In the USA alone, over 500 million straws are being used every single day, most of which are going into our oceans.” “I will stop sucking,” vowed the celebrities. In obedient response, Seattle banned plastic straws, and other places plan to follow. Starbucks, Hyatt and Hilton are all abandoning straws. Katy Tang, of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, says, “We are no longer going to allow for plastic straws here.” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio agrees: “Their time has come and gone.” But before politicians ban
things in the name of saving the world, I wish they’d take the trouble to actually study what good the ban would do. Plastic garbage in oceans is a genuine problem. But most of the pollution comes from Asia. A small amount does come from America, but only a tiny fraction of that is plastic straws. Banning straws “might make some politicians feel good,” says the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Angela Logomasini in this week’s Stossel TV video, “but it won’t actually accomplish anything good.” But what about that scary “500 million” figure that celebrities, politicians and news anchors constantly cite? It turns out that number came from a 10-year-old who, for a school project, telephoned some straw makers. Because the boy is cute, the media put him on TV. Now the media, environmental activists and politicians (Is there a difference?) repeat “500 million straws used daily ... many end up in oceans,” as if it were just fact. The real number is much lower. Still, activists like talk show See STOSSEL on 32

Global Scorecard for Innovation and Development UNITED NATIONS
- Not surprisingly countries leading in Research & Development are among the world’s most successful by John J. Metzler e c o n o m i e s . Syndicated Columnist Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden top the list among the top ten global innovation economies which also include the United Kingdom, Singapore, the United States, Finland, Germany and Ireland. The release of the Global Innovation Index 2018 (GII) proves the point with a listing of 126 countries standings in the world. In a joint survey between New York’s Cornell University and the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the annual GII ranks economies based on 80 indicators ranging from “intellectual property filing rates, to mobile application creation, education spending and scientific and technical publications.” The Survey states that “the U.S. ranks 6th overall this year, down two spots from 2017, a change that is partly related to model changes. In absolute terms the U.S. remains the top contributor in key innovation inputs and outputs, including in investment, in research and development, and comes second after China in the volume of researchers, patents and scientific and technical publications.” East and South East Asia pow-
erhouse economies predictably rank well with Singapore coming in fifth, South Korea (12), Japan (13), and Hong Kong (14). For example, South Korea “maintains its top rankings in patents applications by origin and various indicators measuring R&D efforts, gross domestic expenditure on R&D, R&D financed and performed by business, and research talent in business enterprise.” Yet it’s China’s dramatic rise to 17th place globally that has grasped attention. Beijing government policies have focused on prioritizing research and development as well as Development-intensive ingenuity. WIPO Director General Francis Gurry states, “China’s rapid rise reflects a strategic direction set from the top leadership to developing world class capacity in innovation and to moving the structural basis of the economy to more knowledge-intensive industries that rely on innovation to maintain competitive advantage.” Education remains a key indicator for success. According to GII, “translating investments in education, research and R&D expenditures into high-quality innovation outputs. Leaders are Switzerland, Luxembourg, China, the Netherlands, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Malta, Hungary, Germany, and Sweden.” In other words good education reaps long term benefits. Israel leads in many indicators. According to the Survey the number of researchers, R&D
expenditures, venture capital deals, R&D funded by business enterprises, and research talent are part of Israel’s standing at 11th place. Despite the educational and research metrics used in the
wide ranging survey, an obvious truism underscores much of the success; good governance and free market economic policies. With the exception of China whose corporate state system

Giant Sucking Sound
“Correction: An earlier version of this article included a debunked statistic that Americans throw away by Ken Gorrell 500M drinkNorthfield, NH. ing straws a day, or 1.6 a day per person. Previous tweets with the article will be deleted, and an updated tweet will be issued.” That’s what happens when a mainstream media outlet, NBC News, runs with a story based on a “statistic” produced by “research” from a nine-year-old boy. Let that sink in. You probably saw one of the many articles that cited the 500-million-aday figure, usually without any reference to the source of the data. A few newspapers claimed that the National Park Service had provided the number, but it turns out the NPS had been quoting...that same 9-year-old. A budding Einstein? No, just a brainwashed boy on a mission. After being caught using a fourth-grader as a subject matter expert, another member of the Democrat-Media Complex, the Washington Post, backed away from the dubious number – for a few days. Soon they were back at it, this time with the unhelpful qualifier “by some estimates.” What are they teaching in journalism school these days? That nice, big, round number was perfect for social media – easy for tweeting and sharing to promote the Green narrative that our addiction to plastics is killing lots of sea life. When
being virtuous could be as painless and simple as banning something so ordinary and unnecessary, the bogus statistic was seized upon to support a movement to ban plastic straws. I just got back from a morning walk along the beach in Ocean City, NJ. I saw nary a straw – not a one, and I was looking. Maybe straws aren’t such a problem for fish after all. Would a major news organization use my direct observations – an adult who used to get paid to write research reports – to challenge a statistic produced by an elementary school kid? Of course not. It’s all about the Narrative. The Narrative isn’t simply that there is a lot of plastic in the sea. It isn’t simply that some of that plastic ends up killing fish. The Narrative is that Americans can do something about it that will make a difference, and that “something” needs to be codified into laws. Naturally, California (the “land of fruits and nuts”, in Archie Bunker’s immortal phrasing) is leading the way. Some municipalities in the state have already banned plastic straws, bravely tackling one of the least important challenges facing their citizens. A bill making its way through the legislature of the state with fully a quarter of the nation’s welfare cases and a third of the chronically homeless would criminalize the serving of straws unless requested. A violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, six months in county jail, or both. A writer at Inverse.com opined that “Regardless of the exact number of straws Americans See GORRELL on 45

Landmark Alzheimer’s Study Urgently Seeks Volunteers
Study Focuses On Early Detection And Tracking It Over Time
Prevention Starts With Parents! Have a Conversation : Talk Early & Often
72.9% of Franklin High School students who reported that they use Marijuana also say that they don’t think their parents disapprove.

Regardless of our opinions on adult use,
Marijuana use is not safe for youth. Our brains don’t develop until we are in our midtwenties. Use of any substances, even Marijuana, damages the developing brain. For tips on how to talk to your kids about alcohol and other drugs, click on our link located at the bottom of: www.franklinnh.org
(Family Features) Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death overall in the United States and affects more than 5 million Americans. According to experts, this number could triple to nearly 16 million people by 2050. A momentous scientific study focused on early detection of Alzheimer’s
disease, and tracking it over time, seeks healthy volunteers without memory problems, as well as people who have mild memory problems and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. The prestigious Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative – or
ADNI – funded by the National Institutes of Health, is one of the largest and longest running Alzheimer’s disease trials in history. Now in the third phase of trials, researchers are studying how quickly things like reasoning and the ability to perform certain func-

“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.

tions change in the aging brain. Researchers need to better understand the disease progression in order to speed the pace of discovery in the race to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer’s disease. “It is extremely important that more people get involved in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, which affects nearly all of us in some way,” said Michael Weiner, MD, principal investigator of the study. “We need to know how Alzheimer’s disease progresses in order to discover new treatments that could significantly improve the way we treat it in the future.” The study uses state-ofthe-art imaging to moni-
tor brain levels of two proteins called tau and amyloid, both of which are significant indicators of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers track cognitive function through computer tests at home and in a doctor’s office, which includes measuring changes in one’s ability to handle money, a common warning sign of the disease. “One of the biggest challenges researchers face is finding people to volunteer to take part in studies,” said Weiner. “We can beat Alzheimer’s, but we can’t do it without volunteers. We need help.” The ADNI Study needs 800 people to enroll in sites across the United
States and in Canada. Researchers are looking for people between the ages of 55 and 90 who have normal thinking and memory function, as well as those who have mild memory problems and those who have been diagnosed with mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease. No medication is involved. Potential study volunteers can learn more by visiting www.ADNI3. org or by calling 1-8882-ADNI-95 (1-888-2236495).

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer
Have you noticed the decrease in national attention span? Maybe it’s been on a steady decline for decades, but the decrease seems to have accelerated in the last 10 years. The way we communicate via cell phones, emails, and text is instant. We binge watch years of a television show on Netflix in a week or two. Fast food, 8 minute abs, and instant downloads of music and movies are the norm. We’re constantly plugged in, with information bombarding our senses at mindboggling rates. We no longer wait for anything. When this concept is applied to our health, it is remarkably problematic. Expecting instant results in your physical health almost always leads to shortcuts. These shortcuts generally, turn out to be quick fixes, with poor results. So instead of stretching daily, we take an anti-inflammatory pill. Rather than plan healthy meals ahead of time, we grab fast food. We want to lose weight, so we take a pill or crash diet, instead of healthy diet modification and exercise. You see the issue? Exchanging truly healthy habits for an easier path today, almost always leads to issues tomorrow. So we over use the anti-inflammatories and maybe our stomach or liver doesn’t like it. We always eat the quick junk food and our…well, everything doesn’t like it. We crash diet 30 pounds off and
gain back 40 pounds. I think most of us, as Americans, have these types of issues regarding our health. We are one of the most, if not the most, unhealthy nation in the history of the world. We don’t die because of war or plague, we die by lifestyle choice. But, why? We aren’t stupid, we know the better choices for our health.
It is my belief that as we became a busier, faster, more instant results oriented people, we lost ability to be patient with ourselves. We gave up the skill of thinking long term. We trade big picture results for the convenience of now. The way back from this trend starts here: 1) Unplug. Seriously. Much of our instant culture can be attached to our constant and immediate stream of electronic device usage. Unplugging from the electronics, allows us to focus on ourselves, others, and the world around us in real time, instead of at warp speed. 2) Plan ahead. This one is big. By planning our time, meals, etc. beforehand, we can control our situations, to a greater extent. So by taking a little bit of time and perhaps pre cooking meals, we can avoid putting ourselves in the position to have to eat on the fly and thus choose lower quality foods. 3) Create patience via awareness. Learn how long stuff actually takes. Then respect that time. Think of your body. When we want to lose weight, we
want it done yesterday. If we allow these kind of thoughts drive us, then we will become frustrated when the weight comes off slowly, and this may lead to unhealthy shortcuts or quitting all together. Or consider when you’re injured. A soft tissue problem could take weeks or even months to heal completely, depending on the case. If you know this, maybe you can be patient. If you don’t know this, maybe you begin to push it too soon and get more injured. These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg. My suggestion is to look at your quality of life. Are you healthy, rested, and not overly busy or stressed? If you are any of these things, then it may be time to consider how you can change. Perhaps by slowing down, un plugging, and patiently building a new you. The bottom line is this: in everything we do, we must stop trading tomorrow’s health for today’s convenience. My hope for you, is that you live a long, healthy, and happy life. The road to that goal starts today.

Four Tips For Managing Asthma
(S t at e P o i n t) Asth ma is a lung disease that makes breathing difficult for millions of Americans throughout their lifetime. While there is no cure for asthma, with proper management, 26 million Americans, including more than 20 million adults living with asthma, can lead a normal, healthy life. With personalized asthma management and the right support, those living with asthma can stay healthy and safe. If you are living with asthma, the American Lung Association offers these steps to help manage your condition. 1. Measure and monitor your control. If you have symptoms more than twice a day, wake up at night with trouble breathing one to three times per week and have had to visit the emergency room due to your asthma symptoms in the past year, your asthma may not be under control. It may be time to reevaluate your management approach. Make an appointment to follow-up with your asthma care provider. 2. Understand your medication. It’s important to take the right medication at the right time and in the right way. There are many different types of inhaled asthma medicines. Talk to your healthcare provider to ensure you are using the correct inhalation technique. Using the right medicine in the correct way will help you breathe better, allow you to stay active and help you experience fewer asthma symptoms. 3. Make your doctor visits more proactive.

WORLD CUP SOCCER FAN FLEXIBILITY So when my USA soccer team failed to make the recent World Cup Tournament, I needed an alternate team to pull for. As the games were played in Russia, I opted for a country particularly victimized by communism. Go South Korea! My new team went on to upset the mighty German juggernaut—knocking the Teutons out of the tournament, but alas it wasn’t enough to advance my Seoul brothers to the Round of 16. So I needed a new team. Given that my sister-in-law is a proud Dane, it was an easy choice. Go Denmark! But when my Danes lost to Croatia on a penalty kick shoot-out, I needed a new team, and Denmark’s Scandinavian neighbor Sweden seemed like the right choice. Go Sweden! But as Michael Booth said, “Swedes don’t like to ask favors of each other: they keep their problems to themselves and suffer in silence.” Sweden Nation proceeded to suffer through a 2-0 quarterfinal loss to England. So again I had to shift allegiances. So why not England? Another country with historical animus towards Russia. Go England! England has a robust soccer tradition, having hosted and won the 1966 World Cup. And didn’t David Beckham marry a Spice Girl? But
The 2018 World Cup Champions from France. as Shakespeare might say, “Alas and alack!” England lost a 2-1 semifinal match to Croatia. So with the Croats in the Finals against France, I knew I had to go with the underdog against a team that’s been there before. Remember Zidane leading the French to a 3-0 victory in the 1998 Finals against Brazil? How could one not go with the Croats, especially knowing that 99 out of 100 Americans couldn’t tell a Croat from a Goat? Go Croatia! Now it’s over. France beat Croatia 4-2 in the
Finals. And I suddenly recalled that my grandmother, Yvette Lussier, was from Quebec—the 8th of 15 children. (As that old saying goes, “It’s hard being the middle child!”) She married a Morin. So I have plenty French blood coursing through my veins, along with all that Irish Guinness. C’est bon! Vivre la France!

This 1953 article which appeared in the July 1st issue of The Laconia Evening Citizen. Though no credit was given to the writer of the article I suspect it was written by Raymond C. Smith who covered the Laconia City Council proceedings for the newspaper, was wellknown and respected by the councilmen, whom I suspect found this account of their deliberations accurate and amusing. I submit the following as an example of a City Council’s proceedings 65 years ago. “The city council Monday evening came up with a split decision,voting 3-3 on the live issue of whether or not electrical outlets should be installed at public docks in the city. Councilman Bownes brought up the matter, proposing the installation as an aid to boats and cruisers in charging batteries of their crafts while they were docked. The tie vote on the current question left the mayor in a hot spot. The ‘play by play’ went something like this. Mr. Bownes made the motion for the installation of the electrical plugs,so boat owners could charge batteries,he said. He estimated the annual cost at $60. Mr. Tardif wanted to know if the fixtures would be shock-proof or foolproof.
1953 Laconia City Council. Seated Laconia Mayor Gerard Morin. Standing (L to R) City Councilmen Archie Tardif, Ward 2; Leo Bourgault, Ward 5; Jack Bull, Ward 4; Harold Tefft, Ward 6; Allan Ayre, Ward 3, and Hugh Bownes, Ward 1. Mr. Bull inquired if the city paid for boat owners electricity under the plan. Mr. Bownes allowed it would. Mr. Tardif wanted to know if a precedent was being established and later side-walk plugs would be installed for use by motorists in charging automobile batteries. Mr. Tefft displayed impatience and asserted the fixtures were not designed to charge batteries but to provide lights for boats at the dock so the occupants ‘could see to go to bed.’ Mr. Tardif thought the water was getting deeper all the time. ‘First it’s charging batteries, now it’s providing lights. What’s next?’ he queried. Mr. Tefft declared the cruisers that use the docks are assessed for taxes at ‘ten, twenty, and as high as $30,000.’ ‘And all they get for their taxes is these lights’, he pleaded, ‘about six hours a night when the dock lights are on.’ Mr. Bull moved, seconded by Mr. Tardif, the
matter be referred to committee. Mayor Morin said the motion before the house took precedence. Mr. Tardif moved, seconded by Mr. Bull, the motion be tabled. Mr. Morin said this motion had precedence over the one before the house. Mr. Tefft said he did not want to stay here until ten o’clock and declared that spending 15 or 20 minutes on a $15 or $20 appropriation was sheer foolishness. He went on to say the cruiser owners, if used this way, would take their crafts to Melvin or Wolfeboro for winter storage and Laconia would lose the taxable property. Mr. Bownes said he didn’t want to stay here until ten o’clock and probably shouldn’t have brought the matter up without warning but he thought it was routine and would pass without discussion or debate. ‘But you can’t be sure of anything in politics,’he observed, sagely. Mr. Bull said he wanted See SMITH on 38

by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer
Face it folks; when we remember how something was really delicious and yummy, we are talking about a good taste experience. We tend to talk about smells and textures and color or how it made you feel at the time. But almost all of these senses are included in taste or flavor. And if it’s flavor you crave, you need to get into this revolving series of great beer releases from Moat Mountain, called Flavah IPA. Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Company are located in North Conway, NH. Their food is great with a spectacular menu which alone makes it worth a visit. Although they still brew on premises where their eatery and original location are (smaller batch seasonala offerings for the restaurant and growler fills), their more recent expansion is quite a brewing upgrade; a state-of-the-art “barn” with creative accents. This place is their main 20 barrel brewery created in 2013. They added the canning line in the following year. It is not open to the public though. You can find out more about their offerings on Facebook/Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Co or at their website: www.moatmountain.com Flavah of the Day IPA is a great brewing concept of making limited batch releases. With each release, the malts remain the same for consistency but a different combination of specialty hops are used to bring a uniquely designed dry hop presence to the release. The canning date is a big part of the design

D.A. Long TAvern as hops loose a lot of their aroma and flavor, even in a sealed can. It then becomes important to get the freshest release date when you are purchasing this selection. The one I tried here was canned just two weeks prior to pouring this delightful gem. At 7% ABV, these 16 oz four packs are packed with plenty of dry hopping goodness. The sparkling white head above the hazy yellow-gold liquid is just the start. The tropical fruit, lemongrass and piney grapefruit were evident in both the aroma and taste. The dry hopping process helps to promote this by using lots of aromatic hops while fermenting. As mentioned in previous reviews in the space, hops only bitter if they are added early in the brew. The later they are added, the more floral and aromatic the beer gets. As advertised on
their website, they use 3 POUNDS of hops per barrel. Usually, less than 8-12 ounces are used to make a barrel of beer! BeerAdvocate liked this enough to give it an ‘Exceptional’ rating. Make sure and also try the other offerings from Moat Mt such as Iron Mike Pale Ale, Bone Shaker Brown, East Intervale IPA and Hell Yes! Helles Lager, all in 16 oz cans. You can purchase Moat beers at Hannaford Markets and Case-n-Keg, Meredith just to name a few locations... brewed in New Hampshire for the love of the beer!

Annalee Dolls Fundraiser To Support Local Teen MEREDITH - On Thursday, July 26, Annalee Dolls will donate 15 percent of all in-store and online sales to benefit Emily Ledger of Center Harbor and her campaign to attend the National Miss Amazing event in Chicago August 3-6. Emily is currently Miss New Hampshire Amazing Teen. Miss Amazing is an organization that provides opportunities for girls and women with disabilities to build confidence and selfesteem in a supportive environment. The National Miss Amazing gathering bring representatives together from across the country who have stepped up to be role models and philanthropists in their local communities. National Miss Amazing attendees celebrate diversity and convene on the ways to unlock the inspiration
and tools necessary to make the world a better place. “Emily is an outstanding representative for New Hampshire and Annalee is proud to support her fundraising goal to attend the National Miss Amazing gathering,” says Betsey Pelletier, retail director of Annalee Dolls. “Emily is an active member of her community and school. She’s involved in several sports, both at school and through Special Olympics. Emily is also a selfless young woman. At age 5, she was granted a wish through the MakeA-Wish Foundation. Since then, Emily has chosen to give back by becoming a Make-A-Wish Ambassador. She helps fundraise so that other kids’ wishes may be granted.” “We’re really excited to do our part to help send
Emily and her family to Miss Amazing Nationals. This is sure to be a wonderful experience for them. We’re hoping that the Annalee community will rally behind Emily to help her reach her fundraising goals. We’ll also have a donation box at the retail store so people can support Emily without making a purchase,” says Pelletier. The Annalee Gift Shop is located at 339 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH. Open daily from 10am to 5pm. Shop online at www.annalee.com. For more information, contact Betsey Pelletier 603-707-5377 or betseyp@annalee.com.

Constructor/engineer Bob Cuneo (center) poses with the U.S. Olympic Bobsled Team’s Night Train along with his crew that helped move the sled into the North East Motor Sports Museum in Loudon, NH. LOUDON - In 1992, Daytona 500 winner Geoff Bodine watched the Olympic Bobsled competition in dismay. The American team was using a hand-me-down sled built in a foreign country and it was badly outclassed. Bodine decided to provide the
American team with a new and better sled. An American-built sled. Bodine gathered a group of stock car racers, including race-car builder and owner of Chassis Dynamics Bob Cuneo and Phil Kurze of Whelen Engineering. Bodine contributed $250,000 of his
own money to the project and his group of racers began building better bobsleds. The U.S. Olympic Bobsled team had not won a bobsled medal of any kind since 1956, but with a number of very talented stock car racers

A Dunking Booth is one of the many fun events at the Hebron Fair which takes place on Saturday, July 28th.

It is rain or shine with free admission. The Union Congregational Church sponsors the fair with many other local nonprofit groups joining the festivities. Around 100 vendors
will be selling their goods. In addition to the many crafts, there will be a variety of tasty foods, including the always popular homemade baked beans at the lunch tent; a vast selection of rummage; white elephant items including $5-a-bag bargains; used books, puzzles, games, CDs, and movies; t-shirts; plants; home-baked goods; gift basket raffles and much more.

host Ethan Bearman tell us, “If we can reduce something that easy -something that gets stuck in turtles’ noses and damages the environment -let’s do that. Sometimes, we do need a little gentle guiding hand from government.” But government’s guiding hand is neither “little” nor “gentle.” Government action is force. In this case, the politicians will either ban straws or order us to replace plastic straws with more expensive ones made of paper or bamboo. Bearman calls that an advantage, telling us, “Plastic doesn’t actually biodegrade, unlike paper, which breaks down into other components.” But that’s exactly the problem. Paper straws don’t only break down in dumps, they also break down while you’re using them. They get soggy. They leak. “That’s the beauty of plastic. It’s enduring,” says Logomasini.
She also points out that paper and bamboo straws aren’t environmentally pristine. “Paper products take more energy and effort to produce. And paper doesn’t degrade in a landfill, either. Everything (in landfills) is essentially mummified.” Also, paper straws cost eight times more to make than plastic straws. The activists and politicians don’t worry that their ban will raise costs for businesses and their customers. New York City Councilman Barry Grodenchik told us, “Maybe people won’t use straws.” Ethan Bearman added, “If it’s $1.79 to get the fountain drink at Joe’s Corner Deli (and) now it’s $1.83, I don’t see that being a huge difference.” “This is what environmentalists say about every policy they put out -- a few cents here, a few cents there,” says Logomasini. “But eventually, it begins to be a burden. Banning straws isn’t going to do anything for the environment. So what they’re
trying to do is take away my freedom for nothing in return.” Taking away freedom for nothing in return is now a specialty of the environmental movement. After our environment got cleaner -- thanks to technological innovation and some useful government-imposed requirements (like scrubbers in smokestacks and pollution limits on cars) -- the zealots moved on to demand bans on pipeline construction, mining and oil drilling. They require lots of pointless recycling (though often garbage you separate is never recycled) and all sorts of feel-good policies that make no real difference. EPA should stand for “Enough Protection Already!” 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.

for nearly 30 years. Pew Research adds that both “in terms of raw numbers and as a share of all employed people, fewer Americans are working more than one job than in the mid-1990s.” As for starving children, government statistics show that hunger has dropped to its lowest levels in a decade as unemployment and food inflation have declined. Federal food stamp usage has also plunged to historic lows. Instead of hitting the books, Ocasio-Cortez appears to have spent most of her college days pounding the social justice pavement. The Boston Globe reports approvingly that she “was active at BU in organizations that empower minorities,” including a stint as president of Alianza Latina, BU’s largest Latin American student organization, and as a student ambassador at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground, “which
aims to foster inclusiveness among students of all backgrounds.” Ms. Diversity-ConArtista may be able to blow hot air about Gini coefficients while tweeting anti-capitalist platitudes. But the numbers don’t lie. She’s everything that’s wrong with overpriced liberal ivory towers, radical identity politics and left-wing media ideologues pining for their next savior.

began our climb up the North Slide. Steep and exposed and not for the faint of heart is the route of the North Slide. The climb is a difficult continuous scramble even in the driest conditions and should not be attempted when it is wet. There were rain showers the previous day and the lower section under the tree canopy was a little greasy. We made our
way up carefully. The exposed wide ledge slabs were dry and we did our best not to knock any loose rocks and cause them to go bouncing down the slide. We were thankful the group above us was careful too. The best route was once yellow blazed but now there are too few worn blazes left to guide the way.

The open mountain vista of the surrounding mountains is delightfully grand. Just before the top we found some good ledge seats and took the time to enjoy the big view. The nearby peaks of Mount Tecumseh and Osceola were front and center and interestingly we could see the rocky bump of The Captain near Carrigain and more. As we neared the trail leading off the top of the slide the group above us appeared from the woods and they wondered which way to go. They had eagerly followed the slide straight up until it completely petered out and had to backtrack. I hustled up to meet them and I again made

Yours Truly with Jeremy and Bria on Tripyramid’s South Slide at the intersection of the Kate Sleeper Trail. Trail just below Tripryramid’s North Peak summit. My friends were not pleased I did not share the Gummy Bears, I guess I should have made a better bargain or at least not have eaten them all. We continued up and over and up again about a mile to reach Tripryramid’s Middle Peak. The threesome with the Gummy Bears were taking a break on top when we arrived. Sadly all the Gummy Bears were
long gone. We poked around the trees to find some views but the views from the slides are so much better it didn’t seem worth the effort. From Middle to South it is less than a half a mile. The climb down into the South Slide is difficult and deeply eroded. The South Slide is steep but the rocks are blocky and filled with loose gravel. The only blaze I can recall seeing is the yellow three arrow painted on the ledge See PATENAUDE on 37

This fast adventurous threesome with the Gummy Bears We were happy to get were just a head of us the entire hike. back on Livermore Road
for the easy walk back to the car. Along our way we took a short side trip and followed the Big Pines Path to visit the big Pine trees. Bria and I gave the trees a big hug. We didn’t even come close to reaching each other’s hands around the tree. Have Fun!

in the partisan sense but the council was a political body and anyone who ran for public office was in politics and, for one, he was not ashamed of it. Mr. Tefft renewed his plea for favorable action,‘I’m serious, boys’,he urged, ‘just one or two little lights

a child, was injured or killed while operating or ‘fooling around’ the fixtures. Given assurance the city would acquire no liability he would vote for the measure, he said, as the amount was not large enough to be an issue. The motion to table was lost, Mr. Tardif and Mr. Bull voting for it, and Mr. Bownes, Mr. Ayre , Mr. Bourgault, and Mr. Tefft against. Mayor Morin wanted to know if Mr. Tardif and Mr. Bull would withdraw their objections if they had assurance the city would not be liable in case of accidents and if the installations were certified by proper authorities. Mr. Tardif recalled accidents and near accidents he had witnessed in his contracting experience. He renewed his questions about the responsibility again. Mr. Bownes said he knew nothing about electricity but assumed the installations would be by the city engineer and felt sure they would be all right. Mr. Bull said he knew something about electricity and elaborated to some extent on type currents and the installation. Mr. Tardif said he knew a little about electricity from 30 years of business. Mr. Tefft said Wolfeboro, Alton, and all public docks
around the lake had this service for boat owners. Mr. Tardif wanted to know if he was sure. Mr. Tefft was sure. So did Irwin’s, Channel Marine, and others, he added. Mr. Tardif said this was why he wanted the matter delayed, to get more information. Mr. Bull moved the matter be referred to the street lighting committee. Mayor Morin ruled Mr. Bull was out of order. Mr. Tardif wanted to know where the responsibility would lie if someone should be killed and a $10,000 suit should be brought. City Solicitor McIntyre said the city would be responsible if accidents resulted from negligent installations and thought Mayor Morin’s suggestion that competent authorities should pass on installations was excellent. Mayor Morin called for a voice vote and declared Mr. Bownes motion was adopted. Mr. Bull called for a division vote. Mr. Bownes, Mr. Bourgault, and Mr. Tefft voted for the motion. Mr. Tardif, Mr. Ayre, and Mr. Bull against the motion. A tie vote. Mayor Morin said ‘oho’. ( or maybe ‘Oh, no.’) Mayor Morin sighed, ‘Well, that’s not the first time I’ve been put on the hot spot.’He lapsed into deep thought. Mr. Tefft assured him the fixtures were fool-proof. Mr. Tardif said they could be dangerous, especially if one connected them while standing on a wet dock. Mr. Ayre said he was opposed to the appropriation. It was decided the matter should have some study before action was taken. Mayor Morin said he would reserve decision but promised breaking of the tie within a week at most. ” Robert Hanaford Smith can be reached at danahillsmiths@yahoo.com

the aforementioned 1966 English World Champs, one will note quite a contrast—with the Frenchies exhibiting much more ethnic diversity. That’s a good thing—sports as a melting pot. But consider that soccer’s governing body was asked to impose suspensions on Switzerland’s Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka after each made a major political statements following their goals in a 2-1 Swiss World Cup victory over Serbia. Both players are of Albanian heritage— a country with historic hostility towards Serbia. That’s not a good thing. Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio is Columbian. But many of his Mexican players live, or have lived, in the USA, a country whose soccer team was once coached by a German—Jürgen Klinsmann. There’s much cross-pollination in soccer. Which brings us to Joe Gaetgens, a Haitian who came to America in the 1940s. He got a job as a dishwasher in New York City. He also played soccer and made the 1950 American soccer team which qualified for the World Cup tournament in Brazil. There he scored the greatest soccer goal in American history, a flying header in an unbelievable 1-0 American victory over England— perhaps the greatest upset in World Cup history. Joe wasn’t even an American, but who am I to judge? His brother— Gerard Gaetgens—was my French teacher at Groveton High School, way back when. Vivre la France!

PET OF THE WEEK ” k c a “J
Every so often a dog comes into Cocheco Valley Humane Society that has been let down by their people and given the short end of the stick, yet they still have an endless supply of love and joy to give. These dogs are special, and Jack is one of these dogs. Unfortunately for Jack, he is regularly overlooked at the shelter. It’s been 61 days since he was surrendered at CVHS, and in that time he has had little to no interest. Imagine living 61 days in a kennel, constantly looking up at strange faces, feeling lost and afraid, and not understanding what you did to end up in such a scary place. Do you think you might be a little overwhelmed? If you were a dog that lost everything you once knew and loved, do you think you might be a little shut down? Maybe you would growl at people from inside of your kennel. Maybe you would feel scared and threatened when looking up at strange faces peering down at you, and maybe because of this you might not act like the friendliest pooch from behind the bars of your kennel. Although Jack can seem a little worked up in his kennel, we promise he is just feeling scared and alone. On a walk, you get to see the real Jack. You get to see his happy smile and adorable personality. If you are lucky (and we promise you will be) Jack will smother you in puppy kisses! Because the staff at CVHS is lucky enough to spend every day with Jack, we get to see the side of him potential adopters often miss out on, and we do promise that they are missing out! If you are looking for a sweet canine companion, one that will enjoy both playtime and snuggle time, and a dog that would be a great fit for a family, Jack might be the one for you! If you think you want to give Jack the home of his dreams, please stop in to the shelter and take the time to get to know him outside of his kennel, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

actually use each day, we know it’s a lot. The moral case for limiting plastic straw use is founded on sound logic and backed up by ample evidence that they end up in the stomachs of all sorts of animals.” Never mind that there is no exact number. Never mind that the most-widely quoted number used to chum the emotional waters came from a kid who made three phone calls and calculated a simple average. The moral case is closed. Time to impose fines and jail time! The problem with this “moral case” is easily identified by anyone who thinks about it for a moment. Where does all that plastic in the world’s oceans come from? What percentage comes from America? And of all of America’s plastic waste that goes into the sea, how much is made up of plastic straws? The answers – based on real research, by real researchers, easily found on public-access web sites, are: 1) about 90% comes from Asia and Africa; 2) about 1% comes from America; and 3) of that 1%, a tiny fraction is plastic straws. So even if straws were banned across the country and
every straw now in America was seized and disposed of in landfills, the effect on reducing plastics in the seas would be immeasurably small. The Left has shown that it will use and abuse children to spread false information, from emotional and misleading photos to “research” by a kid that doesn’t pass the smell test. It insults the senses of anyone with any sense. This election cycle, Republican candidates need to ask swing voters, “Are you smarter than a 5th grader?” Ken Gorrell can be reached at kengorrell@ gmail.com

Education matters, but so too does government policy. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues.
