“Exemplary Country Estates” Featuring Christina Ashjian The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is hosting a presentation, “Exemplary Country Estates” Featuring Christina Ashjian on Saturday September 2nd at 11am. In the early 20th century, the New Hampshire Board of Agriculture launched a program to boost the rural economy and promote tourism through the sale of abandoned farms to summer residents. After introducing the country house movement, Cristina Ashjian focuses attention on some of the great country estates featured in the New Hampshire program between 1902 and 1913. Which private estates were recognized as exemplary, and who were their owners? Using historic images and texts, Ashjian discusses well-known estates now open to the public such as The Fells on Lake Sunapee, The Rocks in Bethlehem, Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, and other local examples. Cristina Ashjian is an art historian and an independent scholar based in Moultonborough, where she is presently the chair of the Moultonborough Heritage Commission. Her current research focuses on late 19th and early 20th century country estates. Ashjian holds an MA in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London and a PhD in Modern Art and Architecture from Northwestern University. This lecture is put on through a generous grant from New Hampshire Humanities, an independent nonprofit. New Hampshire Humanities grants and programs support local organizations like the Lake Winnipesaukee Museum. Each year New Hampshire Humanities sponsors more than 650 educational and cultural programs state wide. This lecture is free to the public. We are located on Route 3 in Laconia, next to Funspot.

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

Looking Forward

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

I am looking forward to the next campaign season despite it all. It used to be, in years past, I was the only one running for governor from the Flatlander Party. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a difficult choice, being there were only a handful of us back in those early days. (Actually, it came down to a coin toss and I lost.) As the years went by, it was just assumed that I would be the perennial candidate since I already had some experience in campaigning. I was becoming quick on my feet answering questions by giving answers that meant nothing at all, an important part in being a politician. Ironically, my campaigns for governor only helped to increase the membership in the Party as more and more Flatlanders, once afraid to declare themselves as such, became emboldened and jumped on the wagon. Letsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; face it, when I moved to New Hampshire from New York in 1985, relations between Flatlanders and natives were pretty bad. Who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember the famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dump Day Massacreâ&#x20AC;? of 1972 when a group of natives attacked some well-intentioned Flatlanders who were trying to throw stuff away at the dump instead of bringing junk home. Traffic was backed up for miles and the police were called in when the Flatlanders were chased into the road by the

natives who had picked up any rusty old piece of metal they could find, of which there were many. When I announced the formation of The Flatlander Party as well as my intention to run for governor, I knew there would be backlash. Though we Flatlanders were tolerated here in the Granite State, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly accepted. As long as we stayed in the background everything would be alright. There were protesters at that first news conference when I made my announcement. It was a small group of natives there to loudly protest. Of course, the New Hampshire media portrayed them as speaking for every native, but I knew better. That first election was dismal as far as votes for me, but I knew it would be tough. Still, the Flatlander Party had made its mark and was here to stay. Things improved slightly over the years as I ran for governor over and over. We picked up support from more Flatlanders who were getting frustrated with the selection of candidates and decided to take a chance. Still, it was never quite enough. I knew that in order to increase my support I would have to reach across the aisle and try to gain the support of some natives on election day. There was no way we would have a chance otherwise. I did all I could to mend fences. I attended bean hole bean suppers, a few Bingo games at the local grange and even hung around at some country stores pretending to understand the conversations. Of course, I was never about to get the support of a lot of the older natives, they are a tough bunch to sway, but I did make some headway in bringing around some of the younger ones in seeing that we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really the threat

the media made us out to be. (New Hampshireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television news has never been kind to us Flatlanders.) Of course, there were the significant number of Flatlanders who were under the illusion they were actually natives since they had lived here so long. It took a little while, but I finally brought many of them over to our side. So, where did all my hard work get me? Well, the party is bigger now and new factions have sprouted their wings from within, including those who feel I have been too kind to the natives. So, this next election cycle for the governor, I will first have to fight those from inside my own party in order to be on the ticket next year. Some thanks for all my hard work. I used to be able to coast through the summer months every two years, not worrying about being on the ticket, only kicking it into gear after Labor Day as far as campaigning goes. Still, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to campaigning for what is rightly mine. I am ready to take my message to the people. I will do whatever needs to be done to get the nomination, even beyond the empty smiles, tedious handshakes and soon-tobe broken promises that are requirements of anyone running for office. I will be claiming what is rightly mine. Let the games begin. Join me as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Stories North Of Concordâ&#x20AC;? hosts a StorySlam at the Franklin Opera House on Saturday, Sept. 9th. Up to twelve storytellers will be picked to tell their 6-minute story based on the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;Odd Jobsâ&#x20AC;? The slam starts at 7:00 and admission is $5 with all net proceeds going to benefit the Opera House.

Reply To Don Ewing Letter To The Editor: Don I maybe incorrect in my thinking. But I believe that We the United States are trying to prevent Iran, North Korea and countries like them from becoming a nuclear power, because we believe they would use that power on their enemies. Perhaps as a first strike weapon and without remorse. So when people in the one country that has used atomic bombs believe that it is a humane, just and perhaps a first strike weapon it concerns me. It puts us on the same plain as those we are trying to prevent from obtaining such weapons. In the past Donald Trump stated that more countries should have nuclear weapons. He lists Japan, Saudi Arabia and South Korea as examples. Maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right and everyone should have a just and humane way to fight a war. I believe, the just and humane way to fight a war is not to have one. Think of all the lives that would save. John Brennick Rochester, NH

To The Editor: We are all aware of the opiod crisis in this country and how critical it has become in our State of New Hampshire. The

Our Story

problem is overwhelming and now even dangerous for emergency personnel, and the human toll on society is enormous. Like everyone, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see a concrete, effective approach to attacking the problem. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not personally a fan of big government, but when government effectively regulates for the common good, they are serving us as we elected them to do. Hopefully youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken time to read Vincent Paul Miglioreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently offered root-cause solution to oipiod crisis on just such an approach in the Salmon press. With thanks to them for having the wisdom to print it in-full. He cites examples of other states that are finding success with effective prescription drug monitoring plans that work in concert with the medical and pharmacy professionals. To me, his articulation and understanding of the problem proves he will work tirelessly to find ways for our State to implement monitoring that will also work for New Hampshire. Electing Vincent on September 5th will put a strong, committed, and proven leader in Concord. He will bring a focus to issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just like his critical thinking on the opiod crisis - on education, Northern pass and economic growth. He understands what the State Representative scope of authority is and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make promises on issues that are outside that domain. In other words,

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

heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put his efforts on issues where something can and should be done, with leadership at the State level. Vincent Paul Migliore has a proven 10 year track record on the Newfound School Board, including tenure as chairman. During that decade, he was at the forefront in bringing fiscal responsibility and accountability to our schools but with the sensitivity to improving student outcomes at a fair cost to taxpayers. Please cast a vote for Vincent Migliori on September 5th, the day after Labor Dayâ&#x20AC;Śan appropriate day to elect someone who will work for *us*, and not his own personal gain.

Where Is The Corporate Disavowal of Black Lives Matter? L i b e r a l business executives are leaping like lemmings from President Donald Trump’s manufacturing advisory by Michelle Malkin council. Good Syndicated Columnist riddance. These silly string-spined CEOs have sided with social justice agitators, Beltway media enablers and Democratic resistance knuckleheads who believe Trump was wrong to condemn violence and hatred on all sides of the political spectrum. Never mind that of the four people arrested after the violent outbreak in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend, two were identified with the white nationalist movement and the other two were left-wing “antifa” counterprotesters. One of those radical leftists is the man identified as having reportedly punched a female reporter for the D.C.-based newspaper, The Hill. But since that doesn’t fit the national media narrative of journalists allegedly being victimized by right-wing incitements to violence, mum’s the word from corporate media executives and the rest of the preening CEOs. Merck CEO Kenneth C. Frazier claimed he stepped down from the Trump business panel because he felt “a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism.” But Frazier, who served on President Obama’s Export Council, felt no equivalent responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism when the White House invited leaders from the violence-inciting

Black Lives Matter movement for a forum on policing in July 2016. The invitation was a grievous affront to law enforcement officers and their families across the country outraged at the deadly ambushes committed against cops in Dallas and Baton Rouge that summer, along with several other forgotten cop-killings fueled by BLM-linked hate and vengeance. Who remembers the slaying of Kentucky state trooper Joseph Ponder by BLM marcher and “Hands up, don’t shoot” slogan-spreader Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks in September 2015? At least 11 police have been shot dead and at least nine more wounded by BLM protesters, activists and/or supporters to date. One of the surviving policemen in the Baton Rouge massacre filed suit last month against BLM and laid out the case against its leaders, who “not only, incited the violence against police in retaliation for the death of black men shot by police, but also did nothing to dissuade the ongoing violence and injury to police. In fact, they justified the violence as necessary to the movement and war.” The permanently disabled cop’s lawsuit recounts escalating riots, arson and plundering after the police-involved deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray in Ferguson, Missouri, through the ambushes in Dallas and Baton Rouge, and leading up to the Obama administration’s embrace of BLM’s leaders. After the meeting, BLM leader DeRay McKesson responded to questions about his movement’s culpability for inciting violence by asserting that his

Time to Mothball Confederate Monuments

Robert E. Lee wasn’t a Nazi, and surely would have had no sympathy for the white supremacist goons by Rich Lowry who made his Contributing Writer statue a rallying point in Charlottesville, Virginia. That doesn’t change the fact that his statue is now associated with a campaign of racist violence against the picturesque town where Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia. The statue of Lee was already slated for removal by the city, but the Battle of Charlottesville should be an inflection point in the broader debate over Confederate statuary. The monuments should go. Some of them simply should be See malkin on 32 trashed; others transmitted to

museums, battlefields and cemeteries. The heroism and losses of Confederate soldiers should be commemorated, but not in everyday public spaces where the monuments are flashpoints in poisonous racial contention, with white nationalists often mustering in their defense. Some discrimination is in order. There’s no reason to honor Jefferson Davis, the blessedly incompetent president of the Confederacy. New Orleans just sent a statue of him to storage -- good riddance. Baltimore has a statue of Chief Justice Roger Taney, the author of the monstrous Dred Scott decision that helped precipitate the war. A city commission has, rightly, recommended its destruction. Robert E. Lee, on the other hand, is a more complicated case. He was no great friend of slavery. After the war, he ac-

Roses And Thorns When I wrote my last essay I was preparing for a week-long camping trip with a Boy Scout troop. That trip has joined a long by Ken Gorrell Northfield, NH. list of camping adventures I’ve enjoyed with this group of Scouts and adult leaders. Each event has been unique despite the similarities: Tenting, building camp fires, hiking and other outdoor activities, learning and developing leadership skills, and, of course, enjoying the camaraderie. At the end of each trip we gather around for “roses and thorns,” a time when each person presents his high and low point of the event. No names, just experiences. Usual “roses” are the big events, which in this case included an overnight Mt. Washington hike and playing in the natural water slide off the Kancamagus Highway. Usual “thorns” are what you’d expect: meal clean up, lack of sleep, and rain. I always focus more on the thorns, which provide greater insight into how these kids think. A recurring thorn from last week was rooted in the kids’ sense of “fairness.” Some complained that they had been asked to do more chores than other Scouts. I’m sure it’s a common refrain heard by parents and teachers, but we

usually avoid it at camp, where the fun-to-drudgery ratio is high and the older Scouts nip it in the bud. This time we had a younger group, and it seemed as if some them had spent the week thinking like accountants and referees. One Scout railed at the perceived injustice of being tasked to do more than others. At his age, justice and fairness are inextricably intertwined, and he couldn’t see how debilitating that mindset can be. Somewhere further along the path to adulthood he’ll learn that fairness ranks low on the justice continuum. How do you explain to 12- or 14year-olds that one of the secrets of life is “Life ain’t fair” – and that that’s not a bad thing? How do you help them see that life, in all its wondrous complexity, is too big to be constrained by such a small-minded, petty concept as “fairness”? Maybe there’s a celestial balance sheet or scoreboard maintained by beings more capable than us, but with our limited view, we can’t possible see and keep track of all the things done for us by others. By making good deeds transactional, you’re missing the point. Doing the right thing has a value all its own. That was my thorn for the week, but I’m not sure I got my point across. I told the Scouts that I sometimes feel embarrassed thinking about all the things people have done for me – people I’ve known, others I’ve not known, doing things I’ve recognized (and,

I hope, acknowledged), but also doing things on my behalf that I didn’t even know were done. I told them that I can only pray that in the end I’ve managed to do for others as they’ve done for me, but that there’s no way of keeping track. Treating life like a balance

sheet means missing out on the joys and serendipity of life. Nietzsche was wrong. Perhaps his Übermensch is strengthened by surviving near-fatal adversity, but for most of us humans, that which does not kill us usually See gorrell on 38

Terrorism: Risk, Reason, and Rationalization PARIS - T h e hateful hand of terrorism struck in Barcelona, as a van driven by a Jihadi militant plowed into scores of by John J. Metzler s t r o l l e r s o n Syndicated Columnist the city’s celebrated Ramblas promenade, killing 14 and injuring 130. The starkly simple but devastating attack method was used in Nice, France a year earlier at a Bastille Day celebration killing 86 people, and a Christmas Market in Berlin, Germany killing 12. The Grim Reaper has returned to Spain. In 2004 Al Qaida terrorists killed over 100 in gruesome train bombings. Now, it’s the remorseless killers of Islamic State who have, without complicated bombs, brought their evil calling card to Barcelona. In this case, a van was used as a medieval battering ram. Bigger more lethal attacks were planned. Until now, the past few months in Europe have been largely quiet thanks to better security and focused police penetration of terror cells in France. Then there was a car ramming by an Islamic militant into a group of soldiers in Paris, wounding five. For the most part, the risk from terrorism in Western Europe is still minimal although each new incident tends to hit multinational targets. The Barcelona attack saw innocent citizens from over thirty countries killed or wounded. This was totally intentional and morbidly deliberate. And again, we see the heart-

felt sympathy for a stricken city; Pray for Barcelona, Love for Barcelona, Tears for Barcelona, flowers, stuffed animals and candles all commemorating lost and shattered lives of people mostly in their prime and doing nothing more than having fun in a lovely city. Spanish police later killed five Islamic radicals with both local and North African roots. Catalonia, a prosperous region of Spain, remains a hotbed of fundamentalist Salafi Islam. Now the political classes offer their judgment: Spain’s tough Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy describing the act as “Jihadist terrorism.” He warned, “Today the fight against terrorism is the principal priority for free and open societies like ours. It is a global threat and the response has to be global.” France’s Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Donald Trump are all saying the right things and all quietly knowing they will have to say it again before too long albeit with the name of a new victim city. Such is this war. On 15 August, two days before the Barcelona attack, I noticed a slight but clear sea change in security in Paris; soldiers were outside churches celebrating the Feast of the Assumption, more camouflage clad troops were again on the streets of Paris, not just in train stations but noticeably patrolling the grand boulevards and even my local bus near Montparnasse. There was “something” in the air but when and where? Perhaps intelligence picked up a signal for an attack somewhere in Europe, but Europe is a big and crowded place, espeSee Metzler on 36

EXPLORING THE LEGEND & LORE OF OUR GRANITE STATE

Homecoming Day Came To Stay In New Hampton by Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. Contributing Writer

An immense bonfire on Shingle Camp Hill in the town of New Hampton lit up the sky on a Saturday night in the summer of or near 1910 as it announced the beginning of the Old Home Week celebration. A local newspaper reported that “This welcoming beacon could be seen for miles around and was only one of several which could be seen in adjoining towns.” The citizens of the central New Hampshire town were said to be among the foremost to enthusiastically invite former and present residents to gather together to enjoy the fellowship of each other and to renew old acquaintances. All day services on Sunday at the Dana Meeting House were said to be “…perhaps the most impressive observances of old home week in the State.” The church building is now nearing twice the age it was when the following was written about it, but the observation about that Sunday of old was “Around this historic building cluster a multitude of fond reminiscences for the older generations. It was built in the year 1800 on the range of hills between New Hampton and New Holderness – now Ashland – and its interior, with the high pulpit and square pews, has been kept unchanged.” The morning service on that Sunday was mainly for the children and was

After the morning service Sunday School classes were held with people gathering in large groups where they “discussed the lesson in the grand old democratic way.” An hour of social time followed Sunday School with lunch baskets being opened to provide physical refreshment at mid-day. Dr. O.H. Tracey was the speaker for the afternoon service when he preached to a large audience about “…the old New England home and what it stood for.” When he finished his sermon he invited the deacons, who were seated in the deacons pew which was (and still is) located in front of the high pulpit facing the congregation, to follow “ an old fashioned custom” of making a few remarks. Deacons Kendrick Smith, Joseph P. Sanborn, William R. Dearborn and D.W. Waite responded. Deacon Smith noted that he had taken part in services in the church more than 70

years previous and that Elder Perkins, whose picture was on the wall, use to end his sermons by saying “Brothers and sisters, there is liberty.” Not to be done with old customs, the service didn’t conclude until many of those present “…gave testimony to their See smith on 10

religious homes , and the good this particular church had done.â&#x20AC;? The Old Home Week continued on Wednesday at the Old Institution section of town with a large crowd gathering for a day of â&#x20AC;&#x153;sociability and entertainment.â&#x20AC;? Continuing their old-fashioned ways the report was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;An old-fashioned dinner with its first and chief course of baked beans was served on the long tables in the grove and among the family gatherings near by. After dinner the people assembled on the highest part of the ground to listen

to stories of former and present residents, before the President of the affair, Fred W. Sanborn, introduced the speakers, Deacon Kendrick Smith, Hon. Joseph Walker, (Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives) , Richard Pattee, Rev. C.C. Horst, and Rev. O.H. Tracy. The Bristol Cornet Band entertained the crowd with music throughout the day which concluded with a musical event at Chapel Hall featuring violin and piano soloists and singing of several sprano solos by Miss Elsye M. Wallace of Rochester and Boston. Let us now revisit the

event in 1908. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New Hampton, Aug. 22- One more red letter day for New Hampton and Old Home day, 1908, has passed into history.â&#x20AC;? That was the opening sentence of a newspaper article in the year stated, which continued to tell the readers that, though the weather that August morning â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śdid not look propitiousâ&#x20AC;? people left their homes and headed for the Old Institution location in the town to enjoy that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Home Day. As it turned out there were only a few sprinkles of rain on that day and those who attended apparently did

enjoy the two main activities, eating and listening to speeches by well-known dignitaries. The eating came first as the patriotism of the group was marked by the presence of three American flags. One flew over the grove, which was â&#x20AC;&#x153; looking at its bestâ&#x20AC;?, another was across the main entrance, and the third was owned by David Taylor, but draped over the Pike family table around which were seated thirty-six family members and friends. Presiding members of the Pike family were Mrs. Myra (Pike) Taylor, Mrs. Martha (Pike) Sanborn, and Mrs. Eunice (Pike) Howard. Attendance was obviously great for that 1908 event as tables were set up for 300 people and were â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;Śfilled and reset several times.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Austin S. Bronson, president of the society introduced the speakers: Kendrick W. Smith, Prof. Fred W. Wallace, Rev. Dr. Arthur Gordon, Richard

Pattee, Rev. Mr. Patten, E.W. Gilbert of California, E.J. Cheever, Moses F. Merrow, Prof. H.W. Brown, Prof. Moulton, and Mr. Dixon. The newspaper write-up of the event says of the speakers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all had some good thing to say about New Hamptonâ&#x20AC;? , and adds that resident Milton Whitcher gave a reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śwhich was appreciated by all.â&#x20AC;? I wonder about that last statement after all those speakers. By the way, those speakers, back in 1908, were said to be of the opinion that a town history ought to be written, and the reporter observed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very evident that Old Home Day has come to stay at New Hamptonâ&#x20AC;? , as indeed it has, and I must add that my neighbor, Edwin Huckins , has been in attendance at each Old Home Day held in New Hampton during his 96 years of living here, including the most recent one in this year of 2017.

FOOTBALL HEAD CASES? Another football season beckons and excitement abounds as professional, college, high school and junior level football players take to the playing fields, dreaming of gridiron glory. The 2017 season will end on a down note for most as only one team can win a championship in any league or conference. But some players’ seasons will end extra early due to the inevitable injuries associated with this violent game. Which brings us to the perennial question about whether football should just go away, given that so many players get hurt and maimed. Concussions and brain injuries are of particular concern lately, given the many anecdotal examples of former gridsters suffering dementia. A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association focused attention on research conducted by Boston University’s School of Medicine where researchers studied 111 brains donated by former NFL players—110 of which showed damage characteristic of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Yet despite a growing movement to ban football, m o r e New Hampshire high schools than ever are offering the sport. Locally, Laconia, Kingswood, Plymouth and Franklin High Schools have long-established

gridiron traditions. But now Gilford/Belmont fields a joint football team. Winnisquam and Newfound High Schools now have football. In fact, smaller high schools through New Hampshire have jumped on the gridiron bandwagon, probably to the chagrin of local soccer coaches—schools like Epping/Newmarket, Farmington/Nute, Raymond, Mascoma, Merrimack Valley and Bow. So how does one reconcile the growing movement to ban football with the growing number of schools that offer it? Will the public support both football and increasing player safety requirements? Time will tell.

ROCKING BASKETBALL IN CONCORD It was cool to see Concord’s Main Street in front of the State House turned into basketball courts on August 11-12 as part of the Rock-On Basketball and Music Fest. Concord’s Bonner basketball family members (Matt, Luke, and Becky) are prime movers behind this unique annual event that combines entertainment with sports while bringing people together. Hopefully this event will continue to grow. I’d suggest adding a dunk contest. And a threepoint contest. Maybe a “Legends” component so Dave Bonner could return to the court.

He betrayed the U.S. government and fought on the side devoted to preserving chattel slavery. That is a grievous political sin, although he obviously wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one guilty of it. The Civil War was an America conflict, with Americans on both sides. An honorable soldier, Lee is an apt symbol for the Confederate rank and file whose

sacrifices in the warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charnel house shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be flushed down the memory hole. The Baltimore commission has called for moving a striking dual statue of Lee and Stonewall Jackson to the Chancellorsville, Va., battlefield. This would take a page from Gettysburg, where a statue of Lee overlooks the field where Gen. George Pickett undertook his doomed charge. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honor Robert E. Lee there, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honor him anywhere. For some of the left, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right answer, but this unsparing attitude rejects the generosity of spirit of the two great heroes of the war, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Notably, Grant vehemently opposed trying Lee for treason. Lee himself opposed building Confederate

monuments in the immediate aftermath of the war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it wiser,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not to keep open the sores of war, but to follow the examples of those nations who endeavoured to obliterate the marks of civil strife and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered.â&#x20AC;? After Charlottesville, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to revisit his advice. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

Contributing Writer

When we look up into the clear night sky, we could ponder many things. How many stars? How many galaxies? Is there life on other planets? What is floating around up there? Well to the last question, we know that there is a lot of debris, large and small, floating through the abyss. Some would also call this space dust, some of which is visible from a cometâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tail. But we can examine another kind of space dust right here on earth in the form of an IPA from Elysian. Elysian Brewing from Seattle, Washington, owns and operates 4 different restaurants and a brewery. Opening in 1996 (that magical time when craft brewing initiated huge industrial growth), Elysian looked to leverage food paired with great beer in an area of the country known for its flavorful hop varieties. Northern west coast hops had come into their own celebrity status in the late 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and was the time period in which everyone wanted to try them in their beers. Out of that time, west coast IPA styles became a norm. Elysianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brewery encompasses twenty 240-barrel fermenters and is a 60-barrel brewhouse. To date, they have designed and brewed over 350 different recipes during their brewing career. Their motivation and momentum seems unstoppable. Garnering a three-time award for Large Brewpub of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival in Colorado, Elysianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth is

D.A. LONG TAVERN astronomical. Pouring into a pint glass, Space Dust is a bright yellowy-gold hue with the slightest haze and bright white head which slowly fades. Aromas of floral and citrus were expected but I also realized a bit of sweet caramel. Taste followed the nose. Added to the list of hints were orange and a little grapefruit or pineapple which is also to be expected in a west coast IPA. Malt character is precisely balanced with neither malt or hop yelling above each other. The malt bill on this beers is simple and to the point; no special this-or-that grains. This also helped to keep the mouthfeel light. At 73 IBUs (International Bittering Units), and 8.2% ABV, Space Dust is deceivingly deceptive. It drinks like a 40 IBU and

5% which may get some of you in troubleâ&#x20AC;Ś BeerAdvocate.com has categorized this as an American Double IPA. BA has officially rated Space Dust IPA as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Outstandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and awards it a 90 out of 100. Other followers are rating it as high as 4.88 out of 5.0. You can buy 12 oz six packs of Elysian Space Dust at Case-n-Keg in Meredith as well as other fine beer providers. Hope you agree with me and find Space Dust IPA out of this world!

War? Radicalization? One America! Saturday morning round table member (radio Advocates) D i a n e Grassi of Nevada: “ H o w by Niel Young Advocates Columnist many U.S. Soldiers who were descendants of Confederate soldiers, died in WW I, WW II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan while fighting for the Republic of the United States of America?” Think about that. Great point, Diane. ******** As we watch the news and witness the divisions of American youth – we hope (pray) that we do not spot a child or grandchild in a rally (riot) where they could be hurt, arrested, or KILLED. I care about mine, and yours. Too many have been radicalized so it is our job to teach the young ones about western values now! Think about why so many parents want their children to have education choice where learning is far more important than “social engineering”. There are people out there who want to steal your children’s hearts and minds at the government Indoctrination enters known as public schools. All I ask is the money for that seat at the Center remains with the family to a seat in the educational

setting chosen by the student and parents! ******** “We’re seconds to civil war. Obama stoked the fires of division for his entire 8 years. I believe now, as I believed then, that he is a soldier of the Muslim Brotherhood et al. His first action was to insult the Boston PD, and cater to his drunken elitist professor buddy while doing it. He told every splinter group, every faction of society that had even the tiniest chip on their shoulder that they were validated in their uniqueness and not only deserved, but should demand their piece of the pie, and the federal dollars that come with that, for their .000000001% uniqueness. We are now destroying history. These ignorant, uneducated wind-up toys that march against America and the people that would fight for their rights, don’t even realize that THEY are useful idiots. They don’t know that they are being used. The hatred against traditional family values, against whites, men, Christians, straight people, God, and the American dream is clear and present. I fully believe civil war IS coming. These ignorant minions don’t know truth. They don’t know God. They believe the world revolves around them and their desires. Obama has convinced an entire generation of college students that they deserve whatever they want, re-

gardless that they actually don’t because they didn’t put in any effort toward achieving it. They know nothing about how to run a business, create jobs for others, or balance a checkbook. They know how to protest and demand. So, Conservatives are the problem? That is pretty much the reason for an exchange I am passing along for your consideration. Gee, they were not the problem in getting Trump elected. I don’t remember them being a problem when Reagan was President. I remember the problem for Reagan was moderates like Warren Rudman. If I remember correctly, it’s liberals like McCain, Graham, and Collins who are screwing us over now with all their left media friends, and Democrat gym buddies. It’s revealing to conservatives though, that some people think that conservatives are the problem. There was a time in “my day” that after a hard fought primary the loser would at minimum say they want all of the losers’ voters to vote for the person who just defeated me. So you mumble something to the press, and they say “so we can take that as an endorsement?” Yup!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Fortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Missionâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lecture and Book Signing

The Wright Museum, Center Street, Wolfeboro. Doors open at 6pm, presentation starts at 7pm. Bill Boyce always wanted to know why his father refused to discuss his tour of duty on a B-24 Liberator bomber during WWII. The experience has affected every aspect of his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, but an unspoken agreement kept the topic classified; Twentyfive years after his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Bill found the one man who might tell him what his father would not. Ray Noury had flown with Boyce in late 1943 and saved his life. A mid-life journey guided by an eighty-nine-year-old veteran taught him about war, love, loss, sacrifice, survival, honor and family. And, through the

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Since 1945

shared stories of the extended family that formed around Miss Fortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spouses, children, relatives, and grateful Czechs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bill Boyce finally came to understand his own father.

grand vistas. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet a single soul until we reached Mt Madison. We enjoyed the nice weather and clear skies but only stayed on the summit long enough to touch the highpoint before we continued on our way. The panorama was grand and we could see all the peaks we had to cross to reach Mount Washington. We ran into Hiker Ed (heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiked the Grid, every 4k peak in every month, 7 times) and he gave us some peanut M&Ms.

The climb from Edmands Col to the summit of Mt Jefferson is rugged but from the summit towards Washington across the Monticello Lawn is a welcome relief from rock hopping.

The Crawford Path passes the shore of a tarn, a small mountain lake, near the Lake of the Clouds Hut. Mt Washington is far above Sue.

At Madison Hut we filled our water bottles and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger. We had been on the trail for 4 hours and we had a long ways to go. Up Mt Adams, the 2nd highest peak and the highest without a restaurant, our route was Gulfside and then up and down Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pathâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the way with best footing. We thought we were alone until we were just a few yards from the summit where we saw a dozen hikers hidden between See patenaude on 21

rocks. Mount Washington still looked far away. Back on the Gulfside Trail we began to meet Appalachian Trail thru hikers on their way to Maine. These first AT hikers were early risers and fast hikers. They had come from Lake of the Clouds, Mizpah Hut and all the way from Crawford Notch. The sun was hot and Mt Jefferson loomed large in front of us. I had warned Sue that between Adams and Jefferson it would be tough mentally and physically. The trail over large blocky and often sharp rocks make for tough and awkward hiking. Descending into Edmands col makes the trial ahead appear to be a vertical wall and Mt Washington will seem impossibly far away. Well, I confess that is how I have felt each time I do a Presi-Traverse and weight of the trail was heavy here for her too. Sue from sea level Baltimore really bucked up, she was determined and pressed on taking one step after another. The Caps Ridge Trail is popular since it looks so short and easy on the map since it starts at the height of the land from Jefferson Notch Road, but it is an extremely rugged trail. So it was no surprise to me that the summit of Jefferson was crowded with people sitting on the summit cone. Hikers wanting to tag the highpoint, including us, had to step around these people. Seriously you’d think they figure it out that not sitting on the highpoint might make it more enjoyable. After Jefferson the footing greatly improves and the gentle traverse over the Monticello Lawn and down to Sphinx col put a spring back in our step. And since summiting Jefferson we could now see the mountains beyond Mt Washington and the open See patenaude on 29

Sue enjoys the view from a Howk! The Howker Ridge is a lightly used beautiful and rugged trail that begins by following Bumpus Brook and its lovely cascades and waterfalls. Higher on the ridge the trail goes up and over bare ledge knobs called Howks before intersecting with the Osgood Trail for the short scramble to the Mt Madison’s summit. Distance from trailhead to Mt Madison summit is 4.5 miles with a vertical gain of 4,300 feet

This season, with the Boat Museum’s Vintage Race Boat Regatta on September 15th and 16th, some of those vintage boats are on display. Have you ever seen a 1928 Boyd Martin? This “primitive” outboard step hydroplane was among the fastest in its era. Primitive in the steering and the fact that the operator of the boat had to kneel. The Indiana company that made them burned in 1930 so they are rare. Then there is a 1951

It was a favorite with racers because of its adjustable bottom and could reach speeds of 45MPH. The Penn Yan CZT is displayed with its original and rare 1950 Mercury KG9 motor. The

Penn Yan CZT was donated by museum member Bob Harrity, Jr. The third speedboat on display is a 14’ Three Star Pigeon Race Boat which won the 1928 Winnipesaukee Outboard Marathon, driven by owner Elbridge Robie. See boat on 23

Robbie Mills Memorial Tournament At Lochmere The annual Robbie Mills Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Wednesday, September 20 at the Lochmere Country Club in Tilton, NH. The event, which is hosted by the MetroCast Foundation, will benefit organizations that serve at-risk youth and other youth-serving groups in the region. Now in its 19th 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 (Millsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, Wendy Mills, is a MetroCast employee). The event was launched that year to support the Robbie Mills Memorial Fund, which donated to youth-

serving organizations in the Laconia area. 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 (Belknap-Merrimack Community Action Program), Spaulding Youth Center Foundation and the Greater Lakes Region Charitable Foundation for Children (Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Auction). the 2017 event approaching, MetroCast is seeking event sponsors and tournament registrations. Single player and team registrations, donations, as well as a variety of sponsorship opportunities.

One of those ways of life was in how to get to the lakes to enjoy them. What better way to travel in comfort than a 1922 Maxwell Touring Car. “This was donated us by member Doug Smith,” said Simpson Lutts. “The amazing thing about this car was that it was a big part of Jack Benny’s persona as he always talked about being so cheap he still owned a 1920 Maxwell.

by Harold Radcliffe of Tahoe City who bought it for $5,850. He christened it “Maryan” and had it for fifteen years. Later it was bought by Alvin Davis who moved it to San Francisco to use as a work boat. Salt water took its toll and it ended up in a junk heap. It was rescued by boat restorers in 1990 and renamed it “Tuxedo Taxi.” Eventually Dr. Dwight K. Stowell Jr., purchased the boat an renamed it “Ildrim” and used it at Camp Gray Rock on Great Island, Lake Sunapee. “Ildrim” was donated to the New Hampshire Boat Museum from Dr. Stowell’s collection along with another one-of -a-kind boat a 1935 Chris-Craft Custom Triple Cockpit Runabout which is also on display. Of course, there are exhibits at the New Hampshire Boat Museum that are long-standing due to their popularity like the collection of old boat building tools and a variety of different engines. There is also the fascinating display of scale

view to the west. On Gulfside we skirted the summit of Mt Clay, a peak not on the List since it does not have enough prominence between it and Mt Washington. Sue’s face lit up when I told her that we were now climbing Mt Washington. We constantly met people on the trail.

trains of the day were headed up as we neared the tracks. We decided to stay put and let one pass. What could be more stupid than getting hit by a train on Mount Washington? We found the answer after turning off the Gulfside Trail and hiking up the Trinity Heights Connector that leads to the very summit of Mt Washington. That answer would be waiting in line to take your photo by the Mt Washington summit sign. There must have been a

20 minute wait for a turn to take your photo next to the summit sign. No hikers appeared to be waiting and we just passed by. A group of thru-hikers cut line and with safety in their numbers didn’t cause a riot when they quickly took their photo. Sue wanted a photo with all the peaks she had climbed to be the background of her summit photo and that was easy to do. Inside the Sherman AdSee patenaude on 30

the better weather. The harder hiking was well behind us. We hiked steadily and comfortably as we hiked over Mt Monroe, Mt Franklin and to Mt Eisenhower. A professional trail crew working on the Eisenhower loop and was hard at work moving rocks. We turned onto the Mizpah Cut-off and summited Mt Pierce and continued down to the hut. Sue topped off her water and we continued to Mt Jackson. A surge of AT hikers came by as we left the hut. A trail worker was trying to drain and improve the trail. She had a shovel and worked at the endless task. Our last summit didn’t fail to please. Jackson’s open ledges gave a nice view back at Mizpah Hut and beyond to the peaks we had hiked. The higher northern peaks were mostly still in the clouds but it was enough to soak in how far we had come in two days. Our second day of hiking was 7 hours and we were back at the car at Crawford Notch by midafternoon. We went swimming at Lower Falls on our way to picking up the other car. Yes we slept well in my quiet house and in the morning we went wild on the water slides for at

of the Clouds Hut below us and in about an hour we’d be sitting at the table about to be served supper. From now on the trails would be much smoother and the mountains smaller. Everyone was just starting to sit down for supper when we checked-in. By the time we shouldered our packs at the trailhead to the time we threw our packs onto our bunk 11 hours had ticked by. A satisfying supper was followed by a heart-filling colorful sunset. Sleep is not easy since 90+ people filled the hut to capacity; it was a noisy night. Breakfast was yummy and would be the best part of staying at the hut but walking out the door and being right below Mount Monroe beats it. Actually the staff, The Croo at the Lake of the Clouds Hut are the best! The hard work that these young people do to keep the hut organized and to prepare meals for 90+ guests is remarkable. They even perform a skit after breakfast! You’ll just have to visit a hut and experience it yourself. I don’t want to spoil the surprise but there happened to be over 500 rubber ducks at the hut.

“people take to the streets as a last resort. ... So when I think about anything that happens when people are in the street, I always start by saying, ‘People should not have had to have been there in the first place.’” As the lawyers for the Baton Rouge cop, who must remain anonymous to protect his family, prop-

erly concluded: “These statements were a ratification and justification of the violence.” But instead of recriminations, the militants of BLM enjoy continued praise and coddling from corporate America. Tech execs from Netflix, YouTube and Google all donated to McKesson’s failed mayoral bid in Baltimore. Business execs have been coughing

up untold hundreds of millions of dollars to BLM and related causes, funneled through left-wing nonprofits such as the Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy. On Tuesday, Walmart executive Doug McMillon wagged his finger at Trump, urging “elected officials to do their part to promote a more just, tolerant and diverse society.” This from the head of a retail giant that only recently stopped selling racially divisive, anti-cop taunting, violence-glamorizing T-shirts that bragged: “Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter.” And the disavowal double standards beat goes on.
