This week we present the first of our two-part series on a 1879 account of a trip around Lake Winnipesaukee which was originally published in the Weirs Times in October of 1993. It was provided to us by Mary Mansfield Plancon of Meredith. It is transcribed from a very fragile, handwritten log that her grandfather, Ellery Channing Mansfield, wrote on his trip around the lake that year. Some of the islands and other loca-

The Story of a Five-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor The Wright Museum will host the sixteenth session of the “Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2015 Educational Programming” on Tuesday, August 25th, beginning at 7pm. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Meet seventy-five-year-old Kati Preston, a child survivor of the holocaust who was hidden in an attic by a heroic peasant woman. Preston will discuss how her whole Jewish family was exterminated and how, when she was five years old, the Hungarian Nazis hunted her with bayonets in the hayloft where she was hidden. Her talk is not about being a victim, which she is not. It is about being a survivor, which she is. Kati delivers a message of love and hope for a better future. Kati Preston speaks at many venues – schools, colleges, churches – pretty much anywhere where people are willing to listen. She feels that her presentations make a difference, however small. Admission is $8.00 per person and free for Wright Museum members. Space is limited RSVPs are strongly encouraged to ensure sufficient seating for all lecture attendees. Call 603569-1212 to reserve your seat today. The Wright Museum is located at 77 Center Street, Wolfeboro.

Coyote Program In Center Harbor The Center Harbor Historical Society will present a program on the wily Coyote, a canid native of North America.

Kristine Rines, a biologist for the N. H. Fish and Wildlife, will discuss the habitat, diet, social structure, and life expectancy of the Coyote. The program will be held at the Center Harbor Schoolhouse Museum, 95 Dane Rd., Rt. 25B, in Center Harbor. The time will be at 7pm, Thursday, August 27th, Light refreshments will be served.

To The Editor: So here we are again, hearing about, “ if we spend it and build it they will come.” Currently, Haggie with her power to veto has held up the legislatures budget to spend $42 million on drug rehab programs in the state because she wants said legislatures to include expanding Medicaid to bring in $5.7 million in fed money for drug treatment programs. Add to it the $12 million from the feds that she forgot all about, it all adds up to the total of some $59 million. Again Haggie feels that the people/taxpayer are to be held responsible for someones “elected addiction”, and with all the Enforcement Officials telling her in one ear, that we need to spend more and more if we are to see results, and at the same time, in the other ear, we will “ensure” your reelection. That holds true with all elected law makers who vote to increase spending on enforcement. Tell me the enforcement agencies with their lobbyists are not running this country, and our lawmakers. What have the results been so far on drug prevention with the spending of $28 million from the last bi-annual? You will be hard pressed to get a straight answer to that one. The politically correct answer is, “we are making progress.” The real answer is,” x amount

of officers/administrators retired at 75% of their base pay.” In 2010 this country spent $3.614 “billion” on the war on marijuana ( just marijuana ) and the end result was what? More spending on more government. Lets not be naive here. The end result on spending $59 million dollars in this state on drug prevention for the next bi-annual will be more government with the same old, “but we are making progress” BS. There are no accurate reports of how much NH spends on the war on marijuana because nobody keeps those statistics accurately. The best anybody can do is to produce a “rough estimate” based on arrest data. By the way, if you get elected to public office in this state there is no preemployment or random drug screening. Think about that the next time these so called law makers ram another mandate down the private sectors throats. I hear over and over again that someone lost a loved one or friend to overdose. Where were the friends and love ones before the addiction? If you cant communicate to someone before they stick a needle in their arm, then how are you going to communicate to them after they are addicted or dead? Perhaps you can sit down and send them a text message across See rottenecker on 40

Stopping Illegal Immigration To the Editor: Donald Trump brought more media attention to the problem of illegal immigration. Now we see that many Americans are raped, murdered, or otherwise harmed by illegal aliens daily. Recently an illegal alien who has been arrested four times but not deported by the Obama administration allegedly raped and bludgeoned a 64 year Marilyn Pharis to death with a hammer. The Democrat spokesmen representing President Obama, who refuse to enforce our immigration laws, don’t even seem to care about the victims of illegal aliens. They try to divert attention from President Obama who is the only one with the authority and funding to stop this crime wave against the American people. Democrat spokesmen falsely claim that Comprehensive Immigration Reform, which neither Republican nor Democrat controlled Congresses passed, would have protected Americans. But Comprehensive Immigration Reform wouldn’t have stopped the harm to Americans. No law changes hardened violent criminals into Saints. And by rewarding illegal aliens with legal status, Comprehensive Immigration Reform would have encouraged even more See mail boat on 41

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

A New Group

The summer is always a tough time of year to keep the money rolling into the F.A.T.S.O group coffers. For those of you unfamiliar, F.A.T.S.O. stands for Flatlanders Adjusting To Solitary Oblivion – a winter support group for new transplants to New Hampshire who are learning to adjust to the difficulties of their first winters here. The last couple of winters proved to be a boon to membership as the phone calls and emails piled up almost as fast as the snow. While some mild winters before that kept new membership, and our treasury, at record lows and our heads barely above water, we are now pretty flush thanks to Mother Nature’s winter awakening. Still, previous experience has made us realize that we can’t just sit back and expect that things will be cozy from here on in. We’ll never know what the next winter will bring and with unexpected expenses arriving daily we decided that we really needed other forms of income to keep us solid in the lean times. That is why this summer we introduced a new group; a satellite group to F.A.T.S.O and a sure fire money maker. We are pretty excited since it will provide not only comfort and solace to a nearly forgotten group, but it will also never be affected by the weather. The acronym for this new group is N.A.S.T.Y. and it stands for Natives Adjust-

way too slow. Why is that tourist from New York yelling when he is asking for directions? Did you do something wrong or is that really the way they talk? We will teach the native the proper etiquette in dealing with tourists in many different scenarios and also make them understand that there are some instances where no etiquette is required. It’s really you or them. We will answer burning questions such as: “Is it proper to laugh out loud when a tourist says that they are going to retire up here someday and open a restaurant?” We will also explain to the natives why the day after Labor Day has never been declared a state holiday. We are planning on having our introductory N.A.S.T.Y meeting in October so we can start initiating people into the process as well as getting some of those membership fees under our belts. We know that many New Hampshire natives are a bit stubborn and not quick to ask for advice even when they need it, so we can’t stress enough the total anonymity we will provide to each member. You can be assured that any question you ask will be treated with the strictest confidence (unless they are really ridiculous then we will share them amongst ourselves over a couple of beers). We are hoping that N.A.S.T.Y really takes off. It seems to be a niche that needs to be exploit…uh, addressed. After all, the more summer tourists that become residents, the more you will have to deal with them year-round.

ing to Summer Tourists Yearly. The purpose of N.A.S.T.Y. is to help those New Hampshire natives, many of them most likely here in the Lakes Region, who after a long and quiet winter and spring of quiet roads and local businesses, have to suddenly readjust to that morning, every year, when they wake up and, suddenly, there are people….everywhere. These lifelong natives (and many “Native Flatlanders”) know this is coming. They know that tourists are as much a part of the summer as Black Ice is to the winter, whether they like it or not. It is a relatively short season, but it really does consume just about all of the weeks of really nice weather (certainly not a coincidence). It is often forgotten until it is finally here and when it does arrive it brings, to many, a great deal of stress that they hadn’t experienced for eight months or so. We are confident that N.A.S.T.Y will help relieve a lot of that stress. The guidelines for the N.A.S.T.Y program are still being developed after a test run this past summer (thank you to those natives who participated). As we go through the winter we will have more time to really tweak things and hit the ground running next spring with a complete program. Just to give you an example of how the program will help those who need it, here is a sampling of the questions we will help to answer and the issues we will address. How does the native deal with more than five cars at a stoplight when he/she is just going to the hardware store to pick up a couple of things?

Keep Gitmo Jihadists Out of U.S.A. Get off that late-summer snooze button, America. The Obama administration is plotting to break a major promise made under by Michelle Malkin oath -- and jeopardize our Syndicated Columnist nation in the name of social justice. This week, top White House officials floated renewed plans to close down Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Pentagon and Justice Department bureaucrats have been powwowing over how to shutter the facility and import up to hundreds of detained jihad suspects into the U.S. It’s a longtime legacy promise President Obama wants to fulfill to progressives before he rides off permanently to Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii’s lushest golf courses. There’s one teeny-tiny problem: the promise former Attorney General Eric Holder swore to Congress after the last time his stubborn boss tried to dump the detainees on American soil. Somehow, as they busied themselves with the nitty-gritty details of transferring Islamic enemy combatants to Gitmo North, key members of Team Obama suffered a disturbing bout of national security amnesia. Promise? What promise? Let’s refresh their leaky memories. In 2009, the White House first floated the idea of using the Thomson Correctional Center, a high-security prison in Illinois, to house Gitmo denizens. Family members of 9/11 victims, God bless them, raised a national uproar. Debra Burlingame, sister of American Airlines Flight 77 pilot Chic Burlingame, blasted the feckless president’s assertion that

no one would be put in danger by his Gitmo relocation program. Citing convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid’s successful push (backed by liberal ACLU lawyers) to proselytize about Islam at the supermax facility here in Colorado, where I live, Burlingame cut through the bullcrap. “Mr. Obama has repeatedly suggested that the security challenge of bringing more than 100 trained and dangerous terrorists onto U.S. soil can be solved by simply installing them in an impenetrable fortress. This view is either disingenuous or naive,” she wrote. “The militant Islamists at Guantanamo too dangerous to release believe that their resistance behind the wire is a continuation of holy war. There is every reason to believe they will continue their jihad once they have been transported to U.S. soil where certain federal judges have signaled a willingness to confer upon them even more rights.” And don’t forget the legions of jihadi-lovin’ lawyers out there ready, willing and able to abet them. Remember Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 of helping World Trade Center bombing mastermind terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman -- the murderous Blind Sheik -- smuggle coded messages of Islamic violence while behind bars to outside followers in violation of an explicit pledge to abide by her client’s court-ordered isolation? The Obama administration released her from prison in January 2014, citing “compassion” for her health. The breast cancer-surviving terrorist helper, who remains defiantly unapologetic about her service to jihad, is alive -- and more than a year and half later has been happily kicking our country in the gut on the far-left America-

NH Right to Life & ADF Taking on Obama Administration Now that the Executive Council recently voted 3 – 2 to defund Planned Parenthood here in New Hampshire, a 2011 defunding of by Jane Cormier the abortion giant is coming into the Hooksett, NH. public eye here in New Hampshire and beyond. Some might not remember that in 2011, the NH Executive Council also voted to defund Planned Parenthood. In response to this defunding, the Obama administration awarded a non-competitive $1 million dollar grant directly to the New Hampshire affiliate of Planned Parenthood. This controversial and inexplicable funding resulted in NHRTL requesting the documentation from the Obama Administration regarding this suspicious replacement grant. On August 10, 2015, NHRTL and ADF filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting to have communications and documents from this 2011 grant released under the Freedom of Information

Act. Since the state of NH declined the Title X monies only to be overridden by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, it seems only natural that citizens have the right to an explanation as to HOW these monies made their way to New Hampshire. Why is this important? The answer is simple. The state of New Hampshire declined the Title X funds because of concerns that the Planned Parenthood affiliate was improperly using the funds to subsidize abortion, which is against federal statutes. Against the will of the NH Executive Council, this mysterious HHS grant was then sent by the Obama Administration to Planned Parenthood. Was this legal? Was our state fiscal process and indeed, our own state sovereignty usurped by the federal government? And, can this happen again, now that the Executive Council has once more, defunded Planned Parenthood here in NH? We sincerely hope not. Of course, the obvious lack of transparency and accountability of the Obama administration See cormier on 44

Data Mining with Minors “Show me your papers!” That old movie line unambiguously established that a character was by Ken Gorrell in a toNorthfield, NH. talitarian state - and in trouble. Whether delivered menacingly in cartoonish German or Boris Badenov Russian, the implication was clear: The state was keeping tabs on you. A hallmark of such societies, in movies and in real life, is the collection of personal information on citizens. From the government’s perspective, privacy is the devil’s playground. In this effort children make ideal informants: A child’s powers of observation develop more quickly than a moral code or sense of discretion and caution. The post 9/11 world has been defined in large part by the lengths we’ve gone to balance privacy rights with government’s duty to protect our nation from harm. Civil liberties groups like the ACLU warn about “the growing surveillance society,” where the combination of new technologies and data mining allow government to build an increasingly accurate picture of

our private lives over time. But even back in 1998 (the year Google was founded), a Washington Post article on privacy in the digital age reported that “Today, the store that issues [discount cards] tracks your buying habits in order to offer customized coupons and manage its own inventory. Tomorrow, there is nothing to prevent information that a customer is buying bacon and cigarettes from making its way to an insurance company...” Now imagine a future where information on how you run your home and raise your children is added to a government database for sale to anyone with the cash...using information provided by your child in a school survey. In March, middle school students in Fulton, MO, were led by teachers in an activity called “Claim It.” In this live-action survey, students were told to step forward when a statement applied to them. It started innocently enough (“You believe ghosts are real”) but quickly escalated to “You have tried alcohol” and “Your parents are divorced.” What earned the ire of parents, according to the Fulton Sun newspaper, were statements such as “You or someone in your family has been raped or sexually assaulted,” “You have ever been physically abused

by someone who said they love you,” and “You worry or have worried about how your family will pay the bills.” This was an activity conducted in open class, with a teacher requiring young teens to “claim” incredibly personal details of family life. News stories abound of similarly-invasive surveys given to students across the country. Many states are addressing pri-

vacy concerns through legislation, codifying “opt-out” policies where the onus is placed on parents to sign forms limiting participation of their children in surveys dealing with religion, sexual activity and experience, drug use, and parental behaviors. Only a handful of states impose an “opt-in” requirement See gorrell on 44

A Debatable ‘Debate’ The so-called “debates,” among too many Republicans to have a debate, are yet another painful sign of how much words and ideas by Thomas Sowell have degenSyndicated Columnist erated in our times. No one expects these televised sound bites and “gotcha” questions to be anything like the historic Lincoln-Douglas debates on the momentous national issue of slavery. But the mob scene of candidates on stage that began with the 2012 campaign, and is now being repeated, is a big step down from the modern one-onone debates between presidential candidates that began with John F. Kennedy versus Richard Nixon in 1960. We still have momentous national issues. In fact, the threat of a nuclear Iran with intercontinental missiles is a threat to the survival of America and of Western civilization. The issue could not be bigger. But this issue did not get even half the attention as was lavished on Donald Trump. Even in the earlier “debate” among the second-tier candidates, where Trump was not present, the first question asked was about Donald Trump. Nothing could more plainly, or more painfully, show what is wrong with the priorities of the media. A poll taken after the “debates” showed that, of the 17 partici-

pants, the top 5 were all people who had never run a state government or a federal agency. In other words, those who came out on top in this battle of sound bites were people whose great strength was in rhetoric. After more than six years of Barack Obama in the White House, have we learned nothing about the dangers of choosing a President of the United States on the basis of sound bites, with no track record to check against his rhetoric? Remember his promise of creating “the most transparent administration” in history? Remember his talk about “investing in the industries of the future” -- and how that led to the bankruptcy of Solyndra? Remember “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? These were all great exercises in rhetoric. But before there was a track record to check against that rhetoric, voting to put Obama in the White House was like flying a plane through mountains at night. If we manage to get through the next year and a half without crashing, should we try that gamble again? It so happens that there are some governors with outstanding track records among the 17 Republican candidates. But not one of them made the top 5 in the first poll after the “debates.” This is not to say that no one who has never been a governor should be considered. But to pick the top 5 exclusively from people with no governing experience shows how little we See Sowell on 8

bashing speech trail. But I digress. After citizens and public officials in Illinois, Michigan and Kansas (where another Gitmo North alternative, Fort Leavenworth, is located) staged vocal protests against Obama’s sneaky plans three years ago, Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., chairman of the House appropriations subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department’s budget, moved to block the administration from using unspent Justice Department funds for the Thomson deal. With bipartisan support, Congress passed a law barring the transfer of Gitmo detainees to Thomson or any other civilian prison.

As I reported at the time, the message was clear: Taxpayers don’t want manipulative Gitmo detainees or their three-ring circuses of transnationalist sympathizers and left-wing lawyers on American soil. Period. Insolent as ever, the White House went ahead and acquired Thomson for $165 million as part of its Gitmo gambit. The backlash forced Holder to vow to Capitol Hill in 2012: “We will not move people from Guantanamo, regardless of the state of the law, to Thomson. That is my pledge as attorney general.� And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. This will be the most transparent admin-

For those who are awake now, I ask: Do you want Gitmo jihadists in your backyard? Or your front yard? Do you know what, if anything, your representatives in Washington are doing to ensure America’s safety? Do you trust the administration that brought you the bloody Fast and Furious mess, Benghazi, the healthcare.gov debacle, the deadly Veterans Administration scandal, last year’s reckless illegal alien border surge and last week’s massive EPA pollution of Colorado’s Animas River to prevent Gitmo’s bottom-of-the-barrel goons from wreaking havoc behind bars here?

have learned about such gambles with the destiny of this nation. Part of this is due to the format of these media “debates� among numerous candidates, which reduces their statements to little sound bites -and sound bites are seldom very sound. Part of this is due to the kinds of questions asked by the media moderators. These first two “debates� were run by people from the Fox News Channel and, by media criteria, they were even praised by their competitors at CNN. But that just shows what is wrong with media criteria. In the 2012 “debates,� moderator John King asked Newt Gingrich about his marital problems -- and Gingrich drew a standing ovation from the audience when he pointed out that the millions of people who were watching on television had not tuned in to find out about his personal life. But then as well, others in the media sprang to John King’s defense, saying that any other media journalist would have asked that same question.

They might well be right. But that just shows what is wrong with the media. This year’s Fox News Channel moderators included people who are fine in their own programs. But cast in this new role as moderators, their reliance on the usual media practices was a great disservice to the country at a time when there are very serious -- and potentially catastrophic -- issues in the balance. Is this country’s fate not as important as Donald Trump’s antics? Then why would the first of these “debates� open with a question about Donald Trump, who was not even present? There is plenty of blame to go around, and neither the media, the candidates, nor the public should be exempted from their share.

SPORTS, DRUGS, AND N.H. In 2011 Barry Bonds— the all-time Major League Baseball Home Run King— was found guilty on the felony charge of obstructing justice. The charges related to earlier testimony regarding performance enhancing drugs. But earlier this year the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Bonds’ conviction. So if Bonds is no longer a felon, does that mean he can receive serious consideration for the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown? How can the baseball writers NOT so-honor a hitter of 762 home runs? Well, the hit king, Pete Rose (4256 hits) is banned from Cooperstown and can’t even get on the ballot. But gambling was his sin, which apparently is more egregious than using performance enhancers. So should Bonds now be inducted? And what about other supposed cheaters, like Rogers Clemens? That debate will go on … and on … And that’s okay, as it’s good to raise awareness about substance abuse, especially with New Hampshire in the midst of a heroin epidemic. Granite State Drug Czar Jack Wozmak told WMUR-TV Channel 9 that the problem is so big that it almost “defies logic.” Granite State Drugs As N.H. is a relatively affluent state, one wonders why so many people here turn to drugs. It’s not like we live in an impoverished third world hell-hole where people use hallucinogens

Roger Clemens testifies before Congress in 2008. to escape harsh reality and hopelessness. I see a correlation between N.H being around the top when it comes to drug use and around the bottom when it comes to church attendance. But I’ll let others proselytize for now. Czar Wozmak should ponder how to change attitudes and norms re: drugs. There ARE models. In the late seventies, the postVietnam American military was so riddled with drug abuse that the Pentagon desperately turned to mandatory drug testing. It was a national security issue. It was a magnificent success. The data is out there. The military became a drug-free culture, as those who tested positive were kicked out. Now we don’t have the resources or the right to drug-test the general student population. There’s a reason for the 4th Amendment. But athletes are different. Sports competition is a privilege. It’s legal to establish conditions for participation that include properly administered substance screening, just as drug testing is a condition of employment at many companies, or for athletic scholarships. The NCAA drugs tests tournament participants at all levels. And I remain proud of how Plymouth State developed a comprehensive substance abuse initiative in 1989, a component of which included testing for steroids and other drugs. Plymouth’s

efforts won national acclaim. But what about high schools? Well, several high schools in New Mexico now mandate drug testing and the results so far are promising. So why doesn’t N.H. consider something similar? While communities like Jaffrey have indeed taken steps in the past regarding screening, a better answer would be for the N.H. Interscholastic Athletic Association to randomly test tournament participants, the way the NCAA does. Drug-Test Athletes! The mantra of opponents of such an initiative is “more education.” But how do they explain the disturbing percentage of highly-educated doctors and medical professionals who get caught up in drug abuse? We need more than “education” to counter the culture of permissiveness that now permeates society. Leaders and role models need to speak to values and morals. Such leaders abound in the sports world. Not Bonds or Clemens or Rose, but the natural leaders and achievers who are found on every sports team at every high school. Yes, many schools already ask athletes to sign “contracts” or pledges not to use drugs or alcohol— the effectiveness of which is debatable. Don’t underestimate the power of peer pressure amongst young people. So give these “conSee moffett on 36

Why Bother Migrating?

Why do birds migrate? Wouldn’t it be simpler and safer for wild birds to stay in the same regions they nest in rather than risk flying thousands of miles twice each year? In truth, if birds did not migrate their lives would be even more difficult to survive than making their vast journeys. If no birds migrated, natural food sources in their breeding areas would be depleted very quickly and many baby chicks would starve. Competition for nesting sites would, ultimately, be extremely fierce and the population of predators would increase due to the higher concentration of breeding birds and the easy meals of the nestlings. The main reason some birds migrate is for food and nesting purposes. Each spring, natural food sources are replenished as migrating, nesting birds arrive. As the food supplies dwindle in the fall, migrating birds leave to other replenished food sources in the tropics. This cycle has served wild birds well for centuries. This blueprint of migrating for food also applies to our short range migrants as well. Known as irruptions, these unique paths of movement are also due to a lack of natural food sources. Irruptions become larger when food sources in northern regions are inadequate, forcing wild birds to search for food further south than their normal territories. A phenomenon known as fallout is just one danger migrating birds face

during a long journey. From around March-May, weather conditions periodically exist where very strong, turbulent winds and rain create the ‘fallout.’ This naturally happens when a virulent cold front crosses the Texas coast and moves into the Gulf of Mexico during the daylight hours. The rain and wind practically stops the migrating birds, forcing them to use up most of their energy reserves. Thousands of exhausted migrating birds are forced to seek any shelter and available food when they finally reach the coastline. Without adequate, natural habitats

along this important coast, tens of thousands of birds would perish each migration. Enjoy your birds! Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

DEAR TIM: My brick house was built in 1921. The bricks are a mixture of brown, various shades of red, beige and black. I had some deteriorating mortar replaced, and the handyman smeared the mortar on the brick. What do I have to do to clean up the mess without harming the brick? I’m worried about color fade and that the cleaning process will damage the brick. What would you do? --Beth D., Enid, Okla. DEAR BETH: I’ve got great news for you. You’re going to be able to clean the smeared mortar from the brick and make your home look like new. The amount of work it’s going to take will depend on how messy the handyman was. If you just have a light film of mortar haze on the brick, it will take minimal time. If there are clumps of mortar including sand on the brick, that’s going to take more time. The photo you sent shows just a light haze of mortar, but it also tells me that your home was built using a very durable

This is why your home, after resisting weather for nearly 100 years, still looks in great shape. Let’s talk about your brick first so you know why the cleaning process I’ll recommend won’t hurt it. Your brick was made from clay that no doubt has high silica content. When this clay was formed into the brick and then put in the kiln, it was transformed into a very durable man-made rock. The longer the clay is allowed to be in the kiln, and the hotter the temperature, the harder the brick becomes. Some

According to the New California Dictionary We do not require dues, taking a pledge, or secret handshake to be a member of Advoby Niel Young Advocates Columnist cates for Honest & Open Government. However, unusual sightings should be reported to headquarters. Last Friday, a vehicle seen at a local parking lot with Bumper Stickers for Sanders 2016, Obama Biden, and Shaheen. Oh yeah, on the plate; GOOFY1 ******** While I am deeply concerned for our country since the election of Obama, can you tell me with blood streaming all over the world, where has he been? From the beginning BHO has involved himself in social issues and through his perceived weakness HE has a civil war within America. Barack Hussein welcomed enemies both domestic and foreign. In other words violated his oath of office! ******** State Sen. Tony Mendoza -D Los Angeles filed legislation to modernize California law by removing the term as a legal definition of an undocumented immigrant worker. “My bill modernizes the Labor Code and removes the term ‘alien’ to describe a person who is not born in or a fully naturalized citizen of the United States,” Mendoza said in a statement: “Alien is now commonly considered a derogatory term for a foreign-born person and has very negative connotations.” Nonsense, “Alien” is not

a slur; it’s a noun. And in California, it was a neutral legal term — the way it was in, say, The Federalist Papers, or federal law. This is not an effort to be more “sensitive.” It goes deeper. As Tim Paulson, executive director of the San Francisco Labor Council, told SF Gate: There are two words we are opposed to: illegal and alien. There is no such thing as an illegal person, and there is no such thing as an illegal alien. All workers in this country, whether documented or undocumented, pay their taxes and do their fair share. We are a nation of immigrants, and anything that connotes a negative implication of being an immigrant is antithetical to the idea of the American dream.” I asked Dictionary. com to describe illegal alien. And their answer is: a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country’s authorization. So, this is Sen. Mendoza changing the meaning of ILLEGAL ALIEN. There are people out there who want to change meanings, and events that need some revision – in their eyes. And with the help of the Government Indoctrination Centers (government schools) they are telling our young Americans who are forced to get some type of education that now deals with “make believe history”. ******** Dr. Tamzin Rosenwasser: “I would love to speak with your radio audience on Sat Aug 29. I’d like to discuss Planned Parenthood, “single-payer” medical care financing, the Presidential candidates, the Iran nuke deal, what’s required to be a Presidential candi-

date vs what’s required to get a license to practice medicine in some states. It’s great to hear from you.” Tamzin will be one of my guests this Saturday morning during The Advocates 8-Noon. Listen via WEZS 1350 and live stream wezs.com ******** Benito Mussolini Italian dictator during WW2: “Given that the nineteenth century was the century of Socialism, of Liberalism, and of Democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of Socialism, Liberalism and Democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of Fascism. For if, the nineteenth century was a century of individualism, it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism, and hence the century of the State.”

and be amazed. Vinegar is too weak to use on brick mortar. You’ll have to step it up and use hydrochloric acid. Muriatic acid is the common name of this acid when you look for it at a hardware store, building-supply store or home center. This is a toxic acid and quite dangerous straight out of the plastic jug. Be VERY careful with it and read all the safety instructions before you even think of taking off the cap. The muriatic acid needs to be diluted before you use it or you can permanently damage the brick. It’s best to start with a 1:10 solution. This means you’ll mix one part acid to 10 parts clean water. Do this in a clean plastic bucket. Do not mix the acid in a metal container. When you work with muriatic acid, wear your oldest clothes, as well as rubber gloves and goggles -- not safety glasses. You do not want muriatic acid on your skin or in your eyes. It will cause serious burns. If you do make a mistake, flush your skin or eyes with water as fast as possible and get medical care right away. My advice is always the same when you decide to put chemicals on a surface. Do a test first in an out-of-the-way location. You know the brick on your home is all the same, so go to the back or the least-viewed side of your home and test the solution on some brick you rarely see. It’s always best to dampen the brick you’re going to clean with water before you apply the acid solution. If you just put the acid on dry brick, there is a chance you can burn or damage the brick. Always work in

the shade, not the direct sun. Never allow the acid solution to touch glass, window trim, painted surfaces, aluminum windows, etc. Only apply the acid solution to the brick. Once you’ve determined the solution will not harm the brick, do a second test on just one smeared brick. Spritz some water on this one brick and then carefully apply the acid solution to just the face of one brick using a small brush. You should see the acid start to foam and bubble on the smeared mortar. This is exactly what you want to see. You may have to look closely to see this chemical reaction. Allow the acid solution to work for about five minutes. After the dwell period, then scrub the brick with a stiff scrub brush and rinse with lots of water. Allow the brick to dry and behold the clean brick that looks like the rest! Once the brick is dry, you may still see mortar smears. If so, repeat the process allowing more dwell time. You may discover you have to clean your entire house, as spot cleaning will remove any dirt, soot, algae, etc. The acid solution will also help make the new mortar look more like the original, as it will wash off the mortar paste from the individual grains of sand.

Annual Robbie Mills Memorial Golf Tournament September 16th At Lochmere BELMONT, N.H.– The annual Robbie Mills Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Wednesday, September 16 at the Lochmere Country Club in Tilton. The event, which is hosted by the MetroCast Foundation, will benefit organizations that serve at-risk youth and other vulnerable groups in the region. Now in its 17th year, the event began as an effort to honor the memory of Robbie Mills, a 14 year-old Laconia boy who was killed in 1997 for his trail bike by two older teens (Mills’

mother is a MetroCast employee). The MetroCast event was launched that year to support the Robbie Mills Memorial Fund, which donated to organizations in the Laconia area that served at-risk youth. In subsequent years, the number of organizations supported by the fundraiser expanded to include the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center (BelknapMerrimack Community Action Program), Spaulding Youth Center Foundation, Greater Lakes Region Charitable Foundation for Children (Children’s Auction), and more. With this in mind, Jim Bruder, Chairman and CEO of Harron Commu-

nications, MetroCast’s parent company, founded the MetroCast Foundation in 2007 to facilitate donations for the Tournament from MetroCast video programmers, vendor partners and local businesses. Last year’s event raised more than $30,000 in support of youth-serving organizations in the region. With the 2015 event approaching, MetroCast is seeking event sponsors and tournament registrations. Single player and team registrations, as well as a variety of sponsorship opportunities, are being accepted online at Metrocast.com/robbiemills. “We are grateful to all who have supported this worthy cause in prior years and look forward to an enjoyable day for participants and a successful day for the organizations supported through the event,� said Edward Merrill, general manager for MetroCast. MetroCast serves residential and businessclass customers in 34 New Hampshire and Maine communities with video, high-speed Internet and digital phone service.

“Dan Walker� At Factory Court In Rochester Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Dan Walker will be the feature at the Friday, August 21 Factory Court Brown Bag C o n c e r t in downtown Rochester. Sponsored by Citizens Bank and a grant from the NH State Council On The Arts, the Factory Court Brown Bag Concerts will run through Friday, August 28 from 11:45 am until 1:30 pm. Concert goers are asked to “bring a chair and buy or bring a lunch� to enjoy a musical performance in the heart of downtown Rochester. The Factory Court Concerts are brought to you by the Rochester Main Street volunteers. Spotlight Magazine says “Dan Walker is quite simply one of the finest singer/songwriters on the Seacoast. He’s got a voice that belongs smack-dab in the middle of popular radio’s programming. A furious picker and relentless strummer with a knack of turning the body of his acoustic guitar into a glorified handdrum, Walker is the real deal.� In case of inclement weather the concerts are cancelled at 10:00 am and posted on the Rochester Main Street Facebook page. F r e e pa rki ng nearby is available at the North Main , Union, and Congress Street Parking lots. For more information please contact the Rochester Main Street office by calling 603-330-3208 or email director@rochestermainstreet.org.

Barnstormers’ Best-Selling Show “Urinetown - The Musical� Returns It's funny. It's original. It's The Barnstormers' best-selling show ever, and it's on stage August 20-29. "Urinetown - The Musical" is a gleeful parody of greed and musicals - ranging from "West Side Story" to "The Threepenny Opera." The action is set in a dystopian future where a 20-year drought forces a ban on private toilets. The public pay-as-you-go facilities are run by the malevolent Urine Good Company (UGC ) and its evil boss, a Bond-like villain who owns a white bunny instead of a cat. A lowly UGC worker falls in love with the boss's beautiful daughter and leads the revolt in bringing down UGC in this rollicking David and Goliath tale that took home four Tony Awards. "Don't be fooled by the title. It's a clean show, and this blockbuster musical will have you tapping your toes and bring you to your feet cheering for the hero as he takes on corporate greed," said Artistic Director Bob Shea. "It's a riotous romp that skewers everything from mu-

sicals to consumer (over) consumption to corporate America in our 2015 season finale." Original Barnstormers cast members returning include: Penny Purcell, Jean Mar Brown, Dale Place, and Doug Shapiro. The cast of nearly 20 actors also features Jordan Ahnquist, who recently enjoyed a great run in Boston's "Sheer Madness" and Rachel Alexa Nor-

vestigate the important ecosystems on the property. Participants will also explore the history of the property, including its flax pond and the unusual stone structure built across its bottom, used to process flax into fiber for clothing. According to retired State Architectural Historian Jim Garvin, in a letter sent to the Gilmanton Land Trust: “The production of linen fiber and woven cloth was central to New Hampshire’s agricultural economy in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.� This flax pond is the only one known to exist in the state and perhaps all of New England! The 41-acre Meetinghouse Pond Conservation Area, along with three other tracts, was conserved in 2013 in a cooperative effort by the Five Rivers Conservation Trust, Gilmanton Land Trust, and Gilmanton Conservation Commission. The field trip is sponsored by all three organizations. The trip will be led by Sarah Thorne, local ecology teacher; Beth McGuinn, Executive Director of Five Rivers Conservation Trust who has expertise in land conservation and forestry; and Tracy Tarr, Chairman of the Gilmanton Conservation Commission and wetland scientist. Children and dogs (on leashes) are welcome. The field trip is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted.

The Best Summer Ever Starts Right Here!

Rochester Celebrates With Paranormal/UFO Festival Rochester Main Street volunteers in cooperation with Jetpack Comics and Seacoast Saucers will celebrate a new festival in downtown on Friday, September 18 and Saturday, September 19 when they visit the unusual with the Paranormal/UFO Festival. Although some people may be skeptical, the Rochester to Ossipee area has many documented UFO sightings, and a walk through some of our downtown buildings with noted medium Isabeau Esby has set the stage for a haunted tour of downtown Rochester. The festival begins on Friday, September 18 with a “Skywatch” presentation at 7:30 pm in City Hall Chambers in partnership with the NH Astronomical Society. Following the presentation (weather permitting) we will adjourn to the Rochester Commons where attendees will have the

chance to search the heavens through telescopes. (There is no charge for attending this event). On Saturday the Festival opens at 10 am with vendors and demonstrations at the Knights of Columbus Hall and in the Union Street Parking Lot behind Jetpack Comics. Starting at 10:30 am the Rochester Public library will screen two free movies: Close Encounters and ET, and at 11 am the first of two “Haunted History Tours” will step off from the tent at Factory Court. The cost for the tours are $5 per person and you must RSVP and pay in advance at www. rochestermainstreet.org) At 1:00pm the Rochester Opera House will host a Gallery Reading with noted medium Antje Bourdages and tickets are now on sale at the Rochester Opera House for $10 each. (A gallery reading is where a

medium will connect with people in the audience and this will prove to be a lively and interesting event). Throughout the day guests may also visit with mediums and tarot readers at several local business, and a second Haunted History tour will be offered at 3:00 pm. Vendor applications are still being accepted and Seacoast Saucers and Seacoast Paranormals will be on site at the knights of Columbus through 4:00pm with demonstrations and information. For vendor applications or more information you can call the Rochester Main Street office at 603330-3208, email director@ rochestermainstreet.org or visit www.rochestermainstreet.org. Information on activities the day of the Festival will be available under the blue tent at Factory Court in the center of downtown.

ers. “Horn pouting� seems to have become a somewhat lost art; back when as many fished for the table, Friday night meant rounding up the family and hitting the local “pout� pond. Maybe such simplicity is just “too much� for modern anglers! No fancy boat, no getting up before dawn, no $300 reels, we are talking (as the “pout� will once caught, hence the latter portion of their name) down and dirty, lawn chair, forked-stick fun where the entire family can line the shore by lantern light – with minimal expense and effort. Special bait concoctions work, but plunking out a couple night crawlers on a slip-sinker rig (large, long-shank hook best for removal) will catch all the pout you want. With biting insects waning in late summer, one less excuse to get the family to water’s edge. And what better way to instill the wonder, magic, and mystery of a starry August night – the bullfrog’s jugo-rum; a cricket chorus; an amplified, unidentified splash! in the distance; the Milky Way; a shooting

star, or maybe many more, if correctly timed with the Perseid meteor showers. Many, many ponds can provide “poutâ€? paradise, but an overlooked location is the fertile bays of large lakes, where some of the largest bullhead can be caught...that said, smaller pout lightly battered and pan seared, the fried “chipâ€? tail an additional delicacy, is the real trophy! One note of caution: the “hornedâ€? part of the name derives from the dorsal (top) and pectoral (side) fin spines, which can give a noticeable sting! Simply hold the pout from the locked pectoral fins (the pout locks them outward as defense) with a “forkedâ€? index and middle finger grip‌sounds complicated, but not really! A couple grips and you’ll be an expert. Large-lakes “trollers,â€? at the risk of the proverbial broken record, the summertime thermocline pattern remains, with some adjustment slightly deeper into the 38-45 foot range (although as many anglers still report success at 30-35 feet, especially at daybreak) for landlocked salmon, rainbow trout, and active lake trout. Some anglers find success even deeper, especially later into morning on the brightest, sunniest days. As always, lake trout seem to cooperate anywhere from these depth ranges (daybreak) to bottom – they really are a different “critterâ€? entirely, with knowledgeable anglers employing very specific techniques that can produce lake trout all day long‌.maybe a future report, if time allows... --John Viar, Regional Fisheries Biologist

The Capitol Steps Come To Wolfeboro On Friday, Aug. 28 at 7:30pm Great Waters Music Festival will present The Capitol Steps at the Kingswood Arts Center in Wolfeboro. OVER 30 YEARS AGO, the Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom (“Don’t quit your day job!�), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. Steps on the Capitol Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 35 albums, including their latest, Mock the Vote. They’ve been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard twice a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials. The Capitol Steps were born in December, 1981 when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy were planning entertainment for a Christmas party. Ronald Reagan was President when the Steps began, so co-founders Elaina Newport, Bill Strauss and Jim Aidala figured that if entertainers could become politicians, then politicians could become entertainers! Their first idea was to stage a nativity play, but in the whole Congress they couldn’t find three wise men or a virgin! So, they decided to dig into

the headlines of the day, and created song parodies & skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor that was as popular in Peoria as it was on Pennsylvania Avenue. Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence. No matter who holds office, there’s never a shortage of material. Says Elaina Newport, “Typically

the Republicans goof up, and the Democrats party. Then the Democrats goof up and the Republicans party. That’s what we call the two-party system.� No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet the Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. What more would you expect from the group that puts the “MOCK� in Democracy?!

tracts” some teeth, with clauses pointing out that athletes will be subject to random urinalysis if their teams participate in NHIAA playoffs. THAT action, Czar Wozmak, WILL make a difference! It won’t solve the problem, but it will provide reasons for athletes all over the state to take their contracts seriously and step away from situations involving drugs. It will create healthier norms and attitudes. It will slowly change the culture of tolerance and permissiveness regarding drugs. Do NHIAA Executive Director Jeffrey Collins and company have the vision and the courage to lead and take action that will save lives? I don’t know. Developing a random screening process means addressing some challenging questions. There are answers to all these questions, but we don’t have space here to share them with Collins and Company. (Costs, for example. Random screening is not expensive, compared to universal screening. And corporations would be happy to support such a worthy initiative. Burger King, Pepsi, and the NCAA paid for the aforementioned Plymouth State drug-testing.) In crisis there is opportunity. The current N.H. drug crisis creates an opportunity for our Drug Czar and the NHIAA to take action that will change norms, save lives, and make N.H. a proud model for the nation.

ly done. 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 with a name search on Facebook or at their website: www.moatmountain.com The Moat Mountain Opa’s Oktoberfest is a gorgeous creation of deep golden goodness in a 16 oz can. The head is creamy rich and slightly off-white, almost almond color. Pouring this into a 22 oz glass allows the head to flourish and you’ll find yourself gathering smells of roasted malt, bread and nuts. Hops are well hidden and contribute to the malt shinning through. You will notice many flavors all at once; none talking louder than the other. This is a beer that exemplifies Germany’s Marzen lager style very well and is worth the time to discover while the season is here. At 5.2% ABV, Opa is a pleasure balance. Not too malty, not too hoppy and not overbearing. In fact it is so well balanced and unassuming, you might just find yourself attracted to another round. BeerAdvocate.com gives this one a “very good� rating of 85 out of 100 scoring and a Bros review of 90. Most other contributors chime in with 3.5-4.5 out of 5 rating system.

hungry in this state and have to rely on school meals for their only meal of the day. Wake up Concord and Capitol Hill, stop spending more and more big money on programs that will not and have not made a dent in the problem. Start getting your priorities in order. Stop trying to convince yourselves that throwing money into a vortex, to land wherever, will solve drug problems. Your not fooling anyone, anymore. The next time you all run for office, be honest with the taxpayers and tell them that you plan on throwing more big money into law enforcement for that is where the lion share of your votes come from.

illegal immigration causing even more harm to American citizens. Only the recording of crime statistics would change as the numbers of “Crimes by illegal aliens� would be counted as “Crimes by legal immigrants�. Congress didn’t pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform because the vast majority of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents rose up in opposition. We know that not a single word needs to be added to our laws or another dollar allocated to stop most illegal immigration and protect the American people; only the will to enforce our laws is lacking. The American people have been lied to repeatedly about enforcing our immigration law, e.g., the border is “secure�, the false claims of a record number of “deportations�; we are tired of it. We’re tired of being victimized by illegal aliens who are allowed to stay here because illegal immigration benefits politicians and their special interest supporters. Americans will continue to be victimized by illegal aliens if we elect another President and another Congress who promote Comprehensive Immigration Reform rather than simply and finally stopping illegal immigration.

Many Presidential Candidates are disclosing good sounding plans to handle illegal immigration. However, we’ve heard campaign promises before, and most candidates, like Clinton and Bush, have clear track records of supporting illegal immigration and fake “reforms�. Some candidates may have good intentions, but only Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, and Rick Santorum have the track records that show a commitment to stopping illegal immigration and protecting the American people.

Our governor recently signed HB206, establishing “a committee to study non-academic information gathering surveys or questionnaires administered by a public school to its students� and requiring “school districts to adopt a policy regarding student participation in non-academic surveys or questionnaires.� If we are to do right by parents and students, the state should set the higher bar – an “opt-in� policy. Privacy concerns should trump objections by data collectors about the cost, inconvenience, or difficulty gathering data from a statistically significant sample size. The long-term implications of massive government data collection on private citizens are too grave to waive away. Information collection agencies from military intelligence to marketing companies depend upon building a picture to their “targets� by piecing together data from multiple

sources, like using thousands of mosaic tiles to create an image. We can usually avoid marketing traps like discount cards or surveys offering a chance to win a prize, but avoiding government data collection is more difficult. We need to draw a clear line where kids are concerned. Data collection efforts shouldn’t use children as informants against family. Recent events have shown us that even highly classified data can end up in strange, unprotected places, like private email servers and a lawyer’s thumb drive. If highly-placed government officials blatantly mishandle information deemed to cause “exceptionally grave damage to the national security� (the official definition of “Top Secret�), what privacy expectations can we have about our personal information collected, analyzed, and permanently stored by government and private agencies? Opt-in should be the only option for schools collecting personal data from children.

makes this situation even more disconcerting. The fact that this administration is actively keeping information secret from the public regarding a circuitous federal grant is a concern for all citizens and is completely unacceptable on every level. The government should immediately comply with the law and disclose all information regarding this funding. New Hampshire taxpayers and citizens deserve to know the truth. On August 22, Human Life International is cosponsoring a National Day of Protest on Saturday, August 22, 2015 at Planned Parenthood facilities across the U.S.. This day of protest is in response to recently released undercover videos from The Center for Medical Progress exposing the inhuman and potentially illegal actions of Planned Parenthood employees harvesting and selling the body parts of aborted babies. The New Hampshire event will take place outside Planned Parenthood at 24 Pennacook Street in Manchester from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. We hope you can join us as we peacefully stand against the abortion factory known as Planned Parenthood.

coast. The tides are right this coming weekend to find surf clams along NH’s beaches. With these larger clams you can make chowder, strips, or fritters and you don’t even need a license! To plan your trip you want to consider the tide and make sure the area you intend to harvest from is open for shellfish harvest. Visit http://xml2. des.state.nh.us/CoastalAtlas/Shellfish_Map.html to check which areas are open to harvest and call 1-800-43CLAMS to get up to date information on current open/closed status which can change within season, often due to heavy rainfall. The key is, find a sandy beach and go at the lowest possible tide. Start looking in the sand near the low tide mark, you will be looking for small holes, they may become more evident if you stomp around on the sand. You can use a clam rake, but I find that my hands work just

fine. Dig a couple inches down and you should find a clam. If you aren’t having luck, try moving up the beach a few feet, or you may find them under the surf depending on the water level, keep moving up and down the beach until you find one, and this is the line of beach you want to stick with. Cunner is an often overlooked fish, but historically there was a commercial fishery for them. You may know them by the name perch, or sea perch. They are a reef fish that is closely related to the popular tautog, or blackfish. They are a small fish and are generally caught at 6 to 10 inches in length, but can grow to around 15 inches. Larger specimens provide fillets that are white and fairly firm. These are good fried or in a chowder. The cunner is ubiquitous in our waters and can be found anywhere there is structure. They have small mouths so you want to use a small hook, small pieces of clams and sea worms both work well, cunner are generally not caught on artificial lures. --Becky Heuss, Marine Fisheries Biologist

Silent film epic ‘Ben Hur’ (1925) at Leavitt Theatre One of early Hollywood’s greatest epics returns to the big screen with a showing of ‘Ben Hur, A Tale of The Christ’ (1925) on Thursday, Aug. 20 at the historic Leavitt Fine Arts Theatre in downtown Ogunquit, Maine. The screening, with live music by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis, starts at 8 p.m. Admission is $10 per person. ‘Ben Hur,’ starring Ramon Novarro and Francis X. Bushman, was among the first motion pictures to tell a Biblical-era story on an enormous scale. The film, which helped establish MGM as a leading Hollywood studio, employed a cast of thousands and boasted action sequences including a large-scale sea battle. The film is highlighted by a spell-binding chariot race that still leaves audiences breathless. Set in the Holy Land at the time of Christ’s birth, ‘Ben Hur’ tells the story of a Jewish family in Jerusalem whose fortune is confiscated by the Romans and its members jailed. The enslaved family heir, Judah Ben Hur (played by Novarro, a leading silentera heartthrob) is inspired by encounters with Christ to pursue justice, which leads him to a series of epic adventures in his quest to find his mother and sister and restore his family fortune.

“Put together those elements, and it’s amazing how much power these films still have. You realize why these films caused people to first fall in love with the movies, said accompanist Jeff Rapsis, who will improvise a full score for the 2½-hour epic. The screening is the latest in the Leavitt’s summer series of silent film screenings. The series aims to showcase the best of early Hollywood the way it was intended to be experienced. The Leavitt, a summer-only moviehouse, opened in 1923 at the height of the silent film era, and has been showing movies to summertime visitors for nine decades. The silent film series honors the theater’s long service as a moviehouse that has entertained generations of area residents and visitors, in good times and in bad. In creating music for silent films, Rapsis performs on a digital synthesizer that reproduces the texture of the full orchestra and creates a traditional “movie score” sound. For each film, Rapsis improvises a music score using original themes created beforehand. None of the the music is written down; instead, the score evolves in real time based on audience reaction and the overall mood as the movie is screened. The classic silent movie “Ben Hur” will be shown with live

music on Thursday, August 20th at 8pm.
