Hijacking a Legendary Slogan

The timber industry is the oldest continuously operating industry in New Hampshire, and is still the third-largest manufacturing industry in the state.

NH’s Timber & Forest Industry: Managing For The Future This article appears courtesy of the New Hampshire Timber Owners Association. New Hampshire, the second-most forested state in the country, is a place defined by trees. And not just trees, but by our grand and beautiful forests, from the fragrant Spruce-Fir forests of the North Country to the Red Oak hardwood forests south of the White Mountain National Forest to the towering Eastern White Pines of the Ossipee Region. Our forests shape the Granite

State’s way of life and its economic well-being. In fact, the timber and forestmanagement industry is the oldest continuously operating industry in New Hampshire, and, at $1.4 billion in annual economic value, it’s the state’s third-largest manufacturing industry. New Hampshire’s robust sawmill industry alone generates $447 million in annual activity. New Hampshire’s sawmill industry, when combined with the logging industry, wood-to-energy power plants, and papermaking, sup-

ports approximately 7,800 jobs, which in turn support an additional 5,100 jobs in supporting businesses such as equipment sales and service dealers, restaurants, gas stations, and so forth. The nice thing about these jobs is they are located throughout the state. Indeed, without the timber industry, many communities, especially those in rural areas, would suffer greatly. Moreover, New Hampshire’s timberland owners and the forest products industry that See TIMBER on 33

This past week I saw a YouTube ad put out by Gov. Chris Sununu’s office concerning his veto of Senate Bill 365, known as the Biomass Bill. The title of the ad is “Axing the Biomass Tax,” which copies the legendary slogan my father, the late Governor Mel Thomson, by Tom Thomson coined: “AX the TAX.” I am disappointed the Orford, NH. Governor felt he had to go there. Maybe he worries the N.H. Legislature is ready to overturn his veto of SB 365, which received overwhelming bipartisan support when the original vote was taken earlier this year. SB 365 passed in the House by a vote of 225-108 and in the Senate by 17-4. If you’re not familiar with biomass energy, it is simply generating electricity using lowgrade wood from our forests. This market for low-grade wood is important for forest landowners; it makes sustainable forest management for timber and wildlife possible. The establishment of six biomass energy plants in New Hampshire was encouraged years ago by our elected officials during a period of high, unstable foreign oil prices. Many believed that during fluctuating energy prices it made good sense to have a portion of our state’s energy produced from a local natural renewable resource — namely wood. New Hampshire is the second-most forested state in the country. We don’t have to rely only on unstable foreign supplies for our energy. Just as important, burning local biomass keeps energy dollars here at home, benefiting our local communities and creating good-paying jobs throughout our state. I am a New Hampshire forest landowner and Certified Tree Farmer, just as my father was. He taught me to be a good steward of the forest. My father also had a bedrock phiSee THOMSON on 35 losophy he shared

Supports Edwards To The Editor: On September 11, New Hampshire residents have an opportunity to elect Eddie Edwards, a great candidate to represent them in Congress . He is the best republican candidates running for that seat. Eddie is a Navy Veteran and served as a police chief of a New Hampshire community. In addition he was appointed by Governor Lynch to be the CEO of the State liquor business. What I look for in a candidate is honesty and energy. As far as honesty is concerned Eddie is a double ten. He follows the 10 commandments and fully supports the 10 amendments to our constitution. Eddie does not and will not lie. As far as energy is concerned Eddie has visited all of the Cities in district one and every one of the 80 smaller towns in this House district. Eddie is a Navy veteran and former police chief of a New Hampshire town. He also understands how the business of government works and many times doesn’t work very well. Eddie expects energy and honesty in his employees in both the public and private organizations that he has led. Eddie was appointed by Governor Lynch to manage the NH state liquor business as its CEO. The state liquor business includes at least 15

Our Story

freestanding major retail liquor stores and this business includes wine sales in most of our supermarkets and smaller retail outlets. This state run business had annual sales in excess of $600 million and provided a very good profit contribution to our NH general fund. The net profit of the New Hampshire liquor business contributes over 10% of our annual NH budget Eddie has the important word “No” in his vocabulary. When Governor Lynch complemented Eddie for his effective management of this large state business and told him to add more people to his staff. Eddie replied “No”. He told the governor he didn’t need more staff. Eddie believes the lack of term limits for members of congress has contributed to the growth of an “entitled” class of legislators in Washington that run again and again, and who become drunk with the power and money that inhabit the swamps of Washington. Eddie has already signed a pledge that if elected he will not serve more than 3 terms in the House. Eddie supports the many positive results of the President Trump administration. Statistics from the Josiah Bartlett center indicate that for the typical New Hampshire family of four earning $70,000 will be

The Democrat party leader, Nancy Pelosi, scoffs at this benefit as “crumbs.” The policies of Madam Pelosi are to grow the government. They are against the interests of “we the people” .

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE

Lessons Learned

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

My first two years of college in the 1970s, I attended Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts. I was coming from a high school experience where, well, I should have applied myself better. I could be a bit lazy and I did do enough just to get by and graduate with decent grades. I excelled in classes that interested me. I loved literature classes but didn’t pay much attention during math and science. If I could write something original, I was there. If I had to write something after reading boring text, I’d rather do anything else. I applied to a few colleges, none that would turn any heads. I was even accepted at a couple. One was Curry College. I felt a bit more motivation when I started college. I knew I had to kick it up a notch. My future as well as my parent’s investing further in my education were on the line. Ultimately, I did well at Curry. My grades were impressive and dad and mom anted up for another year. For reasons that don’t matter much for this story, I did my last two years at C.W.Post on Long Island where I received my degree in Communications. Still, it was those first two years at Curry College that truly influenced me forever. I owe that to one teacher in particular, Marvin Mandell. Professor Mandell was

not one who cared about first impressions. He arrived for that first class (as well as the other classes I took with him) looking as if he had just rolled out of bed in his illfitting suit. He carried a massive mountain of mimeographed sheets of paper in one hand and a tattered briefcase in the other. The back of his suit jacket and pants were marked by white dust from leaning against chalk boards in other classes. As he made his way into the classroom the first day, I thought: “This guy is a kook.” I was soon to find that he did have his eccentricities as well as an infectious smile and a way of almost sounding as if he was laughing while he was talking. He also ended up being the most influential teacher I ever had. I often talk about him to this day when asked about what influenced my writing pursuits. There was no competition. He opened my eyes to so many other writers and their styles as well as understanding the basics of writing. He often encouraged me, even when my stories were pretty lame. He could see the mountains through the cobwebs. He taught me to be brave in my writing and not worry about what others thought. I always enjoyed writing before, but after those classes I truly fell in love with the process. Recently I was looking online for something else relating to Curry College and I was surprised to see a photo of Marvin Mandell. He was older, ninety years old, but the face and smile were unforgettable. It was his obituary in the Boston Globe. He had died last year.

Est. 1972 At the Bridge, Rt 3 on Lake Winnipesaukee Weirs Beach, NH 03247 • 603-366-4811 www.thurstonsmarina.com

The obituary was extensive, going into great detail about his life. He was born in Rochester, New York. He lied about his age when he enlisted in the Army at 17 during World War II. He received his doctorate at The University of Iowa Writer’s Workshop. He lived for decades in West Roxbury, Mass and he taught at Curry College until 1993. I was surprised to read he was an avowed lifelong socialist and even wrote extensively about it over the years. He never talked about his politics in the classroom that I can remember. He just filled me with the passion for writing that I have always carried with me. Reading about Professor Mandell’s life, I could see that we were on very different poles when it came to politics and religion. I’m sure I would have agreed with him on very little, if anything at all, when it came to those areas. As far as writing goes, I’m sure we could have talked for hours. Some folks won’t even consider talking with someone who thinks about certain things, usually politics, differently than they do, even if that discussion is unrelated to those differences. In fact, it seems to be OUR LARGEST more and more common SELECTION nowadays. OF THE That is kind of sad. YEAR!

Let’s Join Together to Stop Out-of-Control Prosecutors At this unique moment in American history, liberals and conservatives have something in common: an abhorrence of government by Michelle Malkin p r o s e c u t o r s Syndicated Columnist run amok. Republicans are livid at the federal fishing expedition known as the Mueller investigation. Bit players have been dragooned into an endlessly politicized probe. The media has taken sides; nonstop leaks have tainted the process. And the lead witch-hunter wields enormous and unchecked power to trump up (pun intended) charges against marginal campaign figures that have nothing to do with alleged Russian collusion. Monday’s split jury verdict in lobbyist Paul Manafort’s trial on fraud charges (guilty on eight, hung on 10) will be hyped by the collusion truthers as proof positive of Putinflavored pudding. But Manafort’s actual financial crime convictions have nichego to do with any imagined campaign conspiracy with the dreaded Reds. There’s another truth that should be obvious to government watchdogs from all parts of the political spectrum. However shady Manafort’s activities (and they were swampy with a capital “SWAMP”), they were simply a means to Mueller’s end of twisting the screws on a potential snitch to bring down Donald Trump. Manafort’s dealings (stretching back to 2004) largely predated his flash-in-the-pan stint in 2016 with the campaign. The feds were aware of his foreign dalliances under the Obama administration, but chose to do nothing -- nichego -- until Trump took office.

Put aside partisan politics for a moment and let’s be real: For every honest and principled prosecutor working in the courts, there are obsessive Captain Queegs in office searching for political wins (strawberries!) instead of seeking the truth. On the opposite side of the aisle, left-leaning criminal justice reformers understand this reality well -- and have fought hard to educate the public about the role official misconduct plays in wrongful convictions. Indeed, the National Registry of Exonerations run by the University of Michigan Law School, reported recently that nationwide in 2017, there were a “record-high 84 official misconduct exonerations -- or exonerations given because of official misconduct committed by those vested with the power of the law, such as police officers, prosecutors, and governmental officials.” That’s a stunning 60 percent of exoneration cases last year alone. Thanks to the warm, fuzzy blanket of prosecutorial immunity, very few of the government actors involved in such misconduct are ever held to account. That’s changing. This week, New York became the first state to create a commission on prosecutorial misconduct. After an intense lobbying battle, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the act this week. The legislative effort was spearheaded by exonerees who personally suffered and survived the whims, falsehoods and power trips of district attorneys who suppressed exculpatory evidence, coerced false confessions and solicited false eyewitness testimony from career jailhouse snitches. (I’ll have more on the remarkable journey by those leading this historic charge in an upcoming column and CRTV videos.)

Advantage: Trump John Brennan may not know it, but he is acting in a drama scripted and produced by Donald J. Trump. by Rich Lowry As Eli Lake Contributing Writer of Bloomberg perceptively observed, President Trump isn’t trying to silence Brennan by revoking his security clearance, as the former CIA director’s defenders insist, but elevate him as a foil. Trump couldn’t hope for a better poster boy for the so-called deep state than a former CIA director who immediately began to sound like a commentator for MSNBC upon leaving government -- and, indeed, signed up as a commentator for MSNBC. It has been the usual practice of former top intelligence professionals to keep their political opinions, and especially their wildeyed rants, to themselves. They understand that, having been entrusted with some of the most sensitive powers of the United States government, they should show forbearance and restraint

lest they undermine the reputations of their institutions. Brennan has had no such compunction. Granted, he’s acted under provocation. Trump has goaded him on Twitter and launched extraordinary broadsides against the work of U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump often sounds like the guy popping off down at the end of the bar, and he’s transformed Brennan into the guy down at the other end of the bar. Advantage: Trump. The president always benefits from the fact that his brand depends on violating norms, whereas if his opponents are baited into violating norms in return, they diminish themselves and their cause. In a notorious tweet, Brennan accused the president of “nothing short of treason” for his craven performance at a joint press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. This was the first time on record that a prominent elected official ever committed treason -- which usually involves giving away the nation’s secrets or compromising intelligence assets -- at a public See LOWRY on 32

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 30, 2018

Do Politics Matter? This week, I bought my wife a present for her birthday: a glass-blowing class. The teacher was, predictably, an eclectically artistic type in by Ben Shapiro Los Angeles, Syndicated Columnist and a downthe-line liberal. As with most conversations these days, the talk turned to President Trump. She quickly let me know her opinion of him (it wasn’t high); she then turned to bashing Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Not once did she raise a policy consideration. Virtually every statement revolved around her personal characterization of political actors -- as good people, bad people or indifferent. I don’t think she’s out of the mainstream. There seem to be two main factors in the United States when it comes to voting. Neither has much to do with policy. The first factor is party identification: We tend to vote for the party that shares certain basic policy preferences. The second factor is personal likability of a candidate: We take into account whether we like a candidate or not. Now, these two factors are intertwined: If we like a particular candidate an awful lot, we’re likely to identify more with the

party of that candidate, and vice versa. This means that a milquetoast candidate’s top support number will be the top support number of the party, since the party defines the candidate more than the candidate defines the party (e.g. Mitt Romney). Conversely, a bigger-than-life candidate whose personality seems untethered to the party can lift or drag down the entire party. That’s particularly true with Donald Trump. In today’s political environment, your feelings about Trump actually have an impact on how people feel about you. Among many conservatives, your support for Trump marks you as a hard-nosed patriot; you’re willing to go any distance to defeat the left. If you’re among liberals and moderates, your support for Trump marks you as a scurrilous ne’er-do-well who’s beneath contempt; you’re willing to greenlight any vile behavior so long as you get what you want. In red or blue districts, this may not matter. But in purple districts, it does. If you have friends on the other side of the aisle, it’s uncomfortable to defend Trump’s excesses and idiocies. That makes you less likely to openly support Trump, and less likely to support the Republican Party in congressional elections. Presidents who make it difficult to defend them depress turnout in swing districts. All of which means that if President Trump truly cares about retaining Congress, he has to

stop thinking about his base and start thinking about those in the competitive districts. How can he make their lives easier? That’s not about policy. At the very least, it’s about generating fewer headlines. Trump’s

base is rock-solid, and it’s not going anywhere. But he needs more than his base to win in 2018 and 2020. And barring a personality change, that means minimizing the transaction costs

See SHAPIRO on 32

Social Media Trickery YouTube just added an “information panel” to all my videos about climate change. We at Stossel TV do weekly by John Stossel videos on many Syndicated Columnist controversial topics, but apparently YouTube thinks climate change is special. The information panel seems benign -- just a link to a Wikipedia page about global warming -- and YouTube puts it on all climate change videos. But Wikipedia’s page was captured by activists. It’s biased in favor of desperate alarmism. You’d have to read carefully to know that the billions we’re spending now to fight climate change will make little difference. The YouTube information panel doesn’t mention the Climategate scandal in which scientists were accused of skewing data, ignores climate models that over-predicted warming, etc. It basically says the science of climate change is settled. Only near the very end does the YouTube information panel briefly mention skepticism from conservative and libertarian think tanks. But the editors don’t let skeptics give reasons for their skepticism. It’s very one-sided. In addition, adding these information panels is a form of bias. They don’t add Wikipedia links on Bernie Sanders’ ignorant videos on economics (this one would help: https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Supply_and_demand, or this: https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Friedrich_Hayek). This is not a free speech issue because the First Amendment

applies (and should apply) only to government censorship. YouTube is a private company (owned by Google) that can censor whatever it wants. We have several social media companies -- but just one government. I’m glad Twitter purges robots and Facebook bans posts that call for direct violence (that’s illegal, after all). But I worry when big media companies start policing content. Recently, Facebook, YouTube, A ppl e Po dc a s t s a n d o t h e r s banned Alex Jones’ network, InfoWars, for “hate speech.” Jones is an irresponsible jerk, but most sites didn’t ban him for any specific thing he did recently. As Robby Soave writes on Reason.com, “We don’t know which statements he made were deemed hateful, or why. We don’t know if Jones is being singled out, or if anyone who said the things he said would be banned.” That’s a problem. Twitter permanently banned conservative commentator Gavin McInnes, saying he was “violating our policy prohibiting violent extremist groups.” McInnes founded a conservative group, and some of its members did attend racist rallies, something McInnes denounced. I cringe at things McInnes says. But he’s not a racist. He’s a defender of Western civilization. Real extremists like Richard Spencer laughed about McInnes being banned on Twitter because McInnes often criticizes them. McInnes suspects extremists like Spencer get to keep tweeting because they can so easily be dismissed or held up by the left to make the right look bad. Mainstream figures like McInnes are a bigger threat to Twitter liberals, he says. “I’m not a violent extremist.

Healthy Tip From Dr. Fink TREATING A VARIETY OF ISSUES

by Dr. Charles Fink

Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center

I’ve decided to write a little about a few topics this issue. The first on my list is pain and inflammation. A recent conversation with a friend concerning her arthritis comes to mind. She was complaining about the pain and how debilitating it was. She was even thinking it might be time to retire as she was currently on leave from work because it was just too difficult to get her work done. I asked about her habits and what her diet was like. She said well there have been a lot of cook outs; celebrations etc. and I’ve been hooked on this flavor of ice cream that is so yummy! I guess when I think about it, it hasn’t been the best, but I do try to get a salad

in every day. When you find a flare up of arthritis after eating foods such as ice cream ,candy, cakes, chips soda etc. would you assume the flare up is a fluke? Or could it be aggravated by your diet? Could it be true that “we are what we eat from our head down to our feet? Another topic is hair loss. Is there a cure? What causes it? Genetics, stress, hormone disruptions or vitamin deficiency? Whatever the cause, some thoughts on this hair razing topic are, stress less. Try to manage the stress in your life with relaxing breathing techniques and yoga. Eat a healthy diet of whole foods. Hair thrives on protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. You can find these in lean meats, dark leafy greens, nuts, beans, and fish. One patient complained of thinning hair and a dry flaky scalp. After a few weeks on Dr. Axes multi collagen protein powder daily she reports no more dry flaky scalp. She also says her hair feels luxurious and her nails are strong and healthy as well. Another suggestion for a

healthier mane is massaging your scalp daily. Massage increases the blood flow and aids in healthier hair as well. Lastly, I’d like to remind you to educate yourself about your health. Don’t just accept if it’s advertised as ‘healthy’ that it is true. Sadly there are unscrupulous companies that are more interested in your dollars than your health. Try to eat foods in their natural state. Apple pie tastes great and is a treat now and then. But the apple all by itself in its natural state is a healthier choice. In the summer we have lots of good food choices available. Have your occasional treats, but try to treat your body every day as if you want it to last a long time. We can be lazy when it comes to taking care of ourselves, but do yourself and your family a favor and make your health a priority.

Fink Chiropractic & Natural Health Improvement Center A patient writes...

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

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 30, 2018

Your Health is in Your Hands by Dr. Graham Moneysmith, DC. Contributing Writer

If you are the family of a school age kid, then you know that right now is one of the craziest times of the year: back to school! There’s shopping for supplies and shoes, figuring out bus routes, classroom locations, and of course navigating new bedtimes and wake up times. Obviously, everyone wants a great year for their kids, but one thing that slips off the radar in the rush to prepare for the new school year is backpack safety. It seems like we all understand that grown ups can have back pain and hurt themselves, but it can happen to kids too! Even if they don’t complain about back pain the child may develop other problems down the road. Carrying around a backpack that is inappropriate in weight or carrying technique, ultimately requires a change in the a kids walking gait or posture, which can trigger a cascade of lifelong negative effects. According to the American Occupational Therapy Association, approximately 79 million kids carry backpacks and 55% of those kids carry bags that are too heavy and thus put themselves at risk of injury. That means 43 million kids are putting themselves in harms way (share.umpc.com). The American Chiropractic Association offers these 9 tips for backpack safety to minimize injury risks (acatoday.org): • Make sure your child’s backpack weighs no more than 5 to 10 percent of his or her body weight. A heavier backpack will cause your child to bend forward in an

attempt to support the weight on his or her back, rather than on the shoulders, by the straps. • The backpack should never hang more than four inches below the waistline. A backpack that hangs too low increases the weight on the shoulders, causing your child to lean forward when walking. • A backpack with individualized compartments helps in positioning the contents most effectively. Make sure that pointy or bulky objects are packed away from the area that will rest on your child’s back. • Bigger is not necessarily better. The more room there is in a backpack, the more your child will carry-and the heavier the backpack will be. • Urge your child to wear both shoulder straps. Lugging the backpack around by one strap can cause the disproportionate shift of weight to one side, leading to neck and muscle spasms, as well as low-back pain. • Wide, padded straps are very important. Non-padded straps are uncomfortable, and can dig into your child’s shoulders. • T h e s h o u l d e r straps should be adjustable so the backpack can be fitted to your child’s body. Straps that are too loose can cause the backpack to dangle uncomfortably and cause spinal

misalignment and pain. • If the backpack is still too heavy, talk to your child’s teacher. Ask if your child could leave the heaviest books at school, and bring home only lighter hand-out materials or workbooks. • Although the use of roller bags - or backpacks on wheels - has become popular in recent years, ACA is now recommending that they be used cautiously and on a limited basis by only those students who are not physically able to carry a backpack. Some school districts have begun banning the use of roller packs because they clutter hallways, resulting in dangerous trips and falls. It is never too soon for a kid to start learning to take care of themselves. Most importantly, the negative changes a child sustains to their posture, gait, and overall biomechanical health don’t just affect them today, but potentially for the rest of their lives. We help our kids plant seeds of good health or allow them to slip down a path of poor health. Help them to have their best year ever by helping them get plenty of sleep, healthy nutrition, and putting even a little bit of cognizance around the backpack that becomes their most common daily accessory for the duration of the school year.

FISHER CATS AND THE BEER CAUCUS Sports and politics CAN mix. A good example involves the New Hampshire Legislative Softball Classic, which features Democrats and Republicans coming together on the softball diamond to raise funds for Manchester’s Liberty House and homeless and transitioning veterans. The games are played at Merrimack’s Anheuser-Busch sports facility, where a substance often associated with softball is plentiful. Beer. It’s true. Softballers drink beer. Kind of like the Red Sox did during games during Terry Francona’s last season as manager in 2011. But legislative softballers do NOT drink during games. At least my Red Team didn’t. And I’m pretty sure the Blue Team didn’t either. But libations WERE imbibed after the game, to be sure. And I’ll disclose that libations were consumed after practices as well. That practice of libating after practice commenced after the first Red Team practice, when one GOP legislator let it be known he had beer in his truck. (Of course he drove a truck. Almost everyone on the Red Team drove a truck!) To protect his identity, I’ll refer to this legislator only as Rep. RP from Amherst. A claque—not clique— was thus established which counted on Rep. RP from Amherst to pro-

Legislative Beer Caucus members cheering on the N.H. Fisher Cats at Delta Dental Park. (l-r) Weirs Times sports columnist Mike Moffett (Loudon), Dave Binford (Bath), Greg Hill (Northfield) and Kevin Scully (Nashua). vide beer after every practice. The claque stayed together after the Softball Classic and evolved into the Beer Caucus. Soon photos of Beer Caucus members networking at undisclosed locations (i.e. bars) abounded on Facebook and elsewhere. But while Beer Caucus members celebrated new friendships with occasional libations, there was a serious side to these confabs. Legislators inevitably discussed public policy and as Beer Caucus members got smarter with each session, the number of caucus members grew far beyond the original four. We identified “go to” experts in various fields, such as agriculture, education, finance, veterans’ affairs and more. We thus became better at constituent service. When the father of a member lost everything in a house fire, a “GoFund-Me” effort raised thousands of dollars for relief, as the Beer Caucus continued the philanthropic focus that started with the Softball Classic. The Beer Caucus eventually established a web page (https://beercaucus.org/) and organized a series of events around the state to socialize, network, and brainstorm. One such event occurred in a hospitality suite at Delta Dental Stadium, where our East-

ern League-leading New Hampshire Fisher Cats hosted the dreaded Altoona Curve. Altoona led 6-3 late in the game when a Beer C a ucus m em b er — on e whom pro baseball people had once scouted—said it was time for Rally Caps. To protect his identity, I’ll simply refer to this individual as Rep. DB, formerly of Orford. Rep. DB explained and demonstrated that a rally cap is a baseball cap put on backwards. Those who had caps complied with the guidance from Rep. DB, formerly of Orford, and … The rally caps worked! The game was soon tied, 6-6. Then, in the bottom of the ninth, Fisher Cat second baseman Cavan Biggio hit a walk-off home run and New Hampshire won 7-6. Biggio was mobbed at home plate. Beer Caucus members happily posted photos from a rare “disclosed location” and enjoyed some post-game fireworks before heading to their vehicles—mostly pick-up trucks—that would return them home to towns throughout the Granite State. “They couldn’t have done it without us,” said Rep. DB, formerly of Orford, as he turned his rally cap back around. See MOFFETT on 38

WINTER STORAGE rates & SHRINK-WRAP

by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer

You sometimes hear of second chances. People fortunate enough to try something over or again. And when you read of these further efforts, you may admire the folks for persisting and giving it another go. Well our focus brewery is just about that and how perseverance can lead to more and more success. Our champions here have demonstrated that determination, creativity and an idea of what people like in a beer helps to make them popular with us thirsty imbibers. Breakaway Beerworks is a collaboration of Kate and

Gabe Rogers. Meeting over 20 years ago, they found they both loved creating great tasting homebrew. Gabe’s inventive spirit won him many awards for his brewing efforts. They opened the very successful Yeastern Homebrew Supply in Dover, NH around 2010. Kate and Gabe are Beer Judge Certified Program (BJCP) which allows them to compete or judge in competitions. In late 2014, Garrison City Beerworks was opened in Dover along with other parties. Garrison owned one of the first NH ‘Crowler’ machines in which you could order a freshly poured 30 oz can of their famous IPA. In 2015,

breakawaybeerworks.com Gabe was honored with the Best New Brewer Award from RateBeer.com which was the first time for a NH brewer. Gabe continues to have 6 recipes on the BeerAdvocate.com Top 100 beers of New Hampshire. Breakaway is a new venture with Kate after Garrison City. They are both heavily involved in making this their very own. RISE Double IPA has been put toe-to-toe with the ever-popular Heady Topper from Vermont: the beer so hard to get and so loved. But RISE is incredible in that you actually can find it, purchase and enjoy in this great state. With this award winning beer, Breakaway has drawn an intense following in a short period of time. Contract brewed by good friends at Great North Aleworks in Manchester, RISE is available in 16 oz cans and restaurant kegs. With a brilliant white head and hazy golden glow, this beer right away looks delicious. Topical fruits,

pineapple and pine greet your senses. A sharp initial bite gives way to medium mouthfeel and malt flavors reserved so that you can enjoy all of the massive hopping that is going on in this complex brew. At 8.4% ABV, this double IPA starts to take charge. Some describe this as ‘world class’ and I’m willing to agree; the Rogers have a real winner! You can find RISE at Case-n-Keg, as well as other fine beer stores. People on BeerAdvocate.com have revered this beer at 4.25 out of a score of 5 earning an ‘Exceptional’ status while other contributors rave as high as 4.69 out of 5. Don’t miss RISE if you are a hop head and love fresh hoppy beers. It will not disappoint.

Wright Museum Puts A Spin On Education WOLFEBORO - At the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro, a big part of its mission is education with its 2018 Lecture Series, sponsored by Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney, its most visible component. What surprises many attendees, however, is the diversity of its programming. “We do not always focus exclusively on World War II and we do not always just have typical lectures,” noted Mike Culver, Wright Museum executive director. “We present documentaries, have musical programs, and actors in one–person shows, too.” The format is working, according to Culver, who said some lectures are literally “sold out” with 100 attendees, which could happen on September 4 with the documentary film, Survivors of Malmedy: December 1944. In this film by Tim Gray and narrated by Jason Beghe, star of NBC’s Chicago P.D., the subject concerns

the story of the World War II massacre of American soldiers in Malmedy, Belgium in 1944. After a short battle, more than 130 American GI’s were taken prisoner just outside Malmedy and herded into a field by a German SS division led by one of the Nazi’s most brutal commanders. The Germans gunned down the unarmed Americans in the largest single massacre of American troops in WWII.

“This is a powerful film and one that serves to make very real some of the tragedies experienced by Americans in the field,” said Culver. Tim Gray is a national award-winning documentary film director, producer, and writer based in Rhode Island. Tim has produced and directed 20 documentary films on the personal stories of the World War II generation. Survivors of Malmedy: December 1944 will be shown on Tuesday, September 4 from 7 to 8 p.m. Admission is $3 for members and $8 for nonmembers.

Sari Koppel as Patsy and Alex Picard as her greatest fan Louise Seger tell the true story of a Country Music legend when ‘Always…Patsy Cline’ opens September 6 at Jean’s Playhouse in Lincoln. At Jean’s Playhouse in Lincoln, Sari Koppel IS Patsy Cline; and Alex Picard her greatest fan Louise Seger in a musical true story of the unlikely yet loyal friendship between a country legend and a Houston housewife. ‘Always…Patsy Cline’ opens Thursday, September 6 with performances scheduled through September 15. Look for Jean’s lobby to have some of the taste and flair of the Orchid lounge, and head to the musical with a lot of heart in the heart of the White Mountains. Whether a fan of classic country music, or a lover of tales from the heart, ‘Always…Patsy Cline’ will bring back memories or introduce you to not only the music but also the story of a Nashville music legend with a short life and a long reach. Cline, born Virginia Patterson Hensely, grew up in Virginia hardscrabble style, but with an early talent that showed itself when at age 4 she won an amateur tapdancing contest. By age 8, a piano was her instrument, by 14 she was not

only singing in the choir but also singing on a local radio station: and at 15, when her parents divorced, she worked a drug store by day and clubs at night to help out her mother. She maneuvered an audition with the Grand Ole Opry, but was disappointed. That time. She dropped out of school, married Gerald Cline, be-

came a featured singer with Bill Peer’s Melody Makers, and by 1955 was a regular on the country-western radio show “Town & Country Jamboree” in Washington, See CLINE on 28

D.C. But her big break came in 1957 with a win on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts with “Walkin’ After Midnight” – a recording that walked her to the top ten country and pop charts. She also walked away from Cline and married a second time to Charlie Dick, that producing two children but a strained personal life. Her public life meanwhile flourished. Now a member of the Grand Ole Opry, with evenings or between sets at Nashville’s Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge along with pals like with Willie Nelson, Hank Cochran, and Mel Tillis who once said “She could tell a joke as raw as you could, and boy could she laugh.” Patsy did straddle the country and pop labels, but never fully discarded her roots.

event extensively covered by the international media. What did Brennan mean by his charge? He apparently doesn’t know. Pressed by Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, Brennan explained, incoherently, that “I said it was nothing short of treasonous. I didn’t mean that he committed treason.” Oh. Asked point-blank if he thinks that the president is serving the Russian government, he said that “I scratch my head a lot,” not the usual standard for alleging that someone committed a capital offense. Brennan’s conceit has made him the ideal target for Trump, since even some of the former intelligence officials who oppose the revocation of his security clearance are uncomfortable with how he has conducted himself. The president’s adver-

saries may consider this unfair, but the institutions Trump targets are bestserved by not responding in kind. If the president says that the press can’t be trusted because it’s so biased, the press should react by being less biased rather than more. If he says that he’s being undone by a deep state conspiracy, former intelligence officials should be more restrained rather than less. Brennan either doesn’t understand this dynamic or doesn’t care. He has threatened a lawsuit, and Trump has welcomed one. The president is happy for a war with the most unhinged representative of the intelligence community at hand, and John O. Brennan is playing his role flawlessly. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

Meanwhile, in California, prosecutorial misconduct stemming from intentionally withholding or altering evidence is a felony as a result of a law passed in 2016. Proposed by a Democrat, the bill earned bipartisan support after watchdogs exposed the failures of the California courts to report official misconduct as required by statute and the abdication of the California Bar Association to punish wrongdoing. The iron shield of absolute immunity must be removed from prosecutors. As retired federal judge Frederic Block points out: “Police officers do not have it and they are held accountable in courts of law for their egregious behavior. We wisely do not give our law enforcement officers, or even the President, carte blanche to do as they please; bad prosecutors should similarly be accountable.” Author and lawyer John Grisham similarly noted in The Wall Street Journal in support of the New York prosecutorial misconduct condition: “It is sadly ironic that those we trust to put away criminals are thoroughly unaccountable when their own unethical behavior is discovered. ... The failure to regulate prosecutorial misconduct enables more misconduct and wrongful convictions.” Exoneration super-lawyer Kathleen Zellner, who has won a record $108 million in verdicts and settlements on behalf of the wrongfully accused (most recently an added $11 million for Missouri exoneree Ryan Ferguson), put it bluntly: “Good prosecutors do not need absolute immunity.” Those who commit the crime of wrongful convictions should do the time. On this, all good-faith citizens who believe in equal justice can and should agree. Michelle Malkin is host of “Michelle Malkin Investigates” on CRTV.com. Her email address is writemalkin@gmail.com.

The Professional Loggers Program, collaboratively run by the Timber Harvesting Council, the New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and UNH Extension, trains and certifies hundreds of loggers every year.

make private timberland ownership possible also support probably the largest industry in our state — namely, recreation and tourism. New Hampshire’s private timberlands, which host outdoor recreation and tourism activities such as snowmobiling, hiking, hunting, and fishing, generate another $1.4 billion in annual economic value. No other resource or industry in New Hampshire comes close to the importance to our state’s purpose than our forests and the industry that manages them have. Unlike out West, where almost all the large forests are publicly owned, in New Hampshire nearly 76 percent of our forests are owned privately. There are a number of advantages of private ownership, and the evidence is right before our eyes: healthy, vibrant forests; abundant wildlife; clear, fresh, trout-filled brooks and rivers; and literally thousands of miles of trails maintained for hiking, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. Private ownership gives woodlot owners and the timber industry the incentive and opportunity to practice sustainable forest management, which means that by carefully planning timber harvests and cuts,

our woodlands and forests can be managed to improve wildlife habitat and the quality of our water, to increase recreational opportunities and thus tourism, and, of course, to maximize the quality of the wood we grow and produce. In fact, New Hampshire’s Red Oak is world-renowned for its quality and beauty, and that is a result largely of careful sustained management of our woodlands. Our forests and the timber industry produce wood, of course, but there’s far more to it than Spruce/ Fir 2x4s, Red Oak flooring, and Sugar Maple countertops and veneer – although New Hampshire’s woodlands certainly produce a great abundance of all those products. But a significant byproduct of forest management is woodchips, which come from low-grade wood – in fact, over twothirds of all the standing timber in New Hampshire is considered low-grade (unable to produce lumber). It is the ability to remove and sell this low-grade timber that enables forest managers and loggers to practice sustainable forestry. Where does it go? Forty percent of all the timber harvested in New Hampshire is chipped and then burned to power the state’s biomass energy plants, which generate elec-

tricity. In addition to chips, some of the low-grade timber is still used to make paper. Firewood and wood pellets for pellet-burning stoves are another use of low-grade wood. Other byproducts of timber harvesting include mulch (from bark), chemicals such as tannic acid, and, at the sawmill, shavings for livestock bedding. Although the science of timber management has evolved as our knowledge of trees and forest health has grown, and the types of equipment used to harvest and process timber has changed, the timber management process has remained relatively unchanged,. Today, timber management is practiced in a number of ways. Typically, a licensed forester will work with a landowner to determine the best way to manage a forest according to the landowner’s goals. Those goals will include harvesting some timber for income but also harvesting to improve wildlife habitat or recreational access, among other choices. The forester or landowner will contract with a logger, who will do the actual harvesting using equipment such as a skidder, feller-buncher, and chainsaw. Environmental considerations are para-

mount: Numerous regulations guide the forester and logger with regard to water and wetlands crossings, road construction, endangered species habitat, and cultural resources such as historical stone walls and cellar holes that are often found in the woods. In fact, in most cases the land

is physically improved by sustainable forest management, and, in general, a forest that has regenerated at the site of an old and wellmanaged timber harvest is more vigorous and healthy. Individual tree health is improved and there are more and diverse habitats and a See TIMBER on 34

Trees are felled either by chainsaw or using a mechanized harvester. They are then cut to size and gathered at what’s called a log landing, where they are loaded on to trucks and taken to a sawmill.

This Eastern White Pine timber harvest in Rumney, N.H., was cut last fall to promote Pine seedling growth for a healthier Pine forest. ity sawlogs, especially Red Oak and Sugar Maple, are peeled for veneer, while other sawlogs are cut into dimension lumber. The low-grade wood left behind at the log landing is either cut into firewood, chipped for biomass, or, if the logger has access to one of the remaining paper mills located in Maine or New York, the low-grade logs are cut into pulp wood and shipped out of state to one of these mills. It is the ability to sell and utilize those low-grade products (biomass, pulp wood, and firewood) that enables forest managers to do the weeding and thinning necessary to promote the growth of the more vigorous and valuable trees in a timber stand. Though most people don’t

think of timber harvesting this way, managing forests is a kind of gardening. The main differences between growing trees and growing, say, corn, is that the trees are a lot larger, and the harvests are many years apart. Today’s woodlot owners in New Hampshire, who are the beneficiaries of decades of thoughtful forest management, are managing their forests for their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It’s that kind of thinking and responsibility that has kept our timber industry and our forests healthy for, literally, hundreds of years.

THE WEIRS TIMES & THE COCHECO TIMES, Thursday, August 30, 2018 THOMSON from 1

with me, which I remember well: “You stand for something or you stand for nothing.” I am proud to stand with some of the hardest working men and women I know — men and women who work in the N.H. forest industry. But now their jobs are being threatened due to this veto. These men and women support one of the oldest continuous industries in New Hampshire, an industry only made possible by our natural renewable forests, which cover close to 5 million acres, or 84% of the entire state. And more than three-quarters of our forests are owned privately. New Hampshire’s forest products industry, the third-largest industry in the state, generates $1.4 billion of annual value. This is a result of our forest industry and forest landowners working together. Yet another $1.4 billion is generated by the

industry and landowners working together to benefit recreation and tourism by sharing the use of our forests and thousands of miles of trails. Nearly 7,800 people are employed in the forest products industry; another 10,800, are employed in the forest recreation economy. These are impressive numbers. Yet they are already changing in a negative way since the Governor’s veto of SB 365. But this is not just about jobs. The veto is resulting in unintended consequences which the Governor and his staff didn’t think about or just didn’t care about. I sat with Gov. Sununu in his office five days before he vetoed SB 365 and explained that I have owned and managed forestland in N.H. for 62 years and I want to continue growing trees, but if I have no market for low grade wood I cannot practice

sustainable forestry. I’ll have to begin growing house lots rather than trees, which I don’t want to do. I also pointed out that up to now, private forest landowners have for years shared their lands for recreation at no cost to the public or the state, but if these landowners cannot sustainably manage their forests, they will decide to close access to their lands. That would be a sad day for N.H. It would also have a crippling effect on the state’s economy, especially in the North Country where recreation and tourism are the economic lifeblood of the communities. The erosion of New Hampshire’s forest industry and beginning of the unintended consequences began the moment Gov. Sununu vetoed SB 365. Now the Governor is calling support for our forest industry a “tax,” and he has shamelessly stolen a phrase my father

R. Hood & Co.

SHOP

coined to promote fiscal responsibility. Believe me, there’s nothing responsible about this veto. If the Governor’s veto of SB 365 is not overturned, I believe our thriving forest industry could be a thing of the past — and what a shame that would be for our entire state. Next month, on Sept.

13, our elected representatives and senators face an important decision for their constituents: whether to overturn the Governor’s veto of SB 365. In the strongest terms, I encourage them to do so.

I’m not even violent,” McInnes says. “I’m just a Trump supporter who is fiscally conservative, socially liberal and refuses to kowtow to the PC left and their silly fads. That’s more dangerous to the left.” Twitter never told McInnes what he did to warrant being banned, so we asked Twitter. They told us they have “nothing more to share at this time.”

Another recent example: Facebook censored PragerU, a conservative outlet that posts dignified videos on topics like limited government. Facebook “shadowbanned” PragerU’s videos. That’s when the user of a platform (PragerU) assumes posts reach viewers, but Facebook doesn’t show the post to many people. Facebook tricked PragerU into thinking their messages were getting out. Facebook later apologized, saying, “We mistakenly removed these videos ... We’re very sorry and are continuing to look into what happened.” I suspect what happened is that leftist “content monitors” at Facebook decided that fewer conservative videos should be seen. Whatever Mark Zuckerberg says about his miraculous algorithms, censorship is generally done by humans. Private media platforms have every right to decide who can use them. But the platforms are wrong to shut down people with whom they disagree. President Trump took to Twitter this weekend to urge open and freewheeling debate, tweeting, “Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!” Trump, despite his bluster in favor of strong libel laws, added, “Censorship is a very dangerous thing & absolutely impossible to police. If you are weeding out Fake News, there is nothing so Fake as CNN & MSNBC, & yet I do not ask that their sick behavior be removed.” The answer to bad speech is more speech. We’re better off when people speak their minds. John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t!

SMITH from 3

to Nashua and Exeter. Remember that at that time the stagecoach was a major means of transportation and that there were no trains, automobiles or airplanes. When one was talking about horse power, he meant horse power. Cheney was well-liked as a driver and made many friends which helped him as he climbed the ladder, so to speak, in the transportation business. One of the passengers who had a major impact on his life, and to whom he later was to bestow special honor, was Daniel Webster. When Mr. Cheney entered the express business Mr. Webster, the lawyer, gave him a handwritten list of laws pertaining to the business. Others also trusted Ben Cheney and chose him to carry their money to deposit in banks along his stage route. In 1836 at the age of 21 he became a stage agent in Boston. With the birth of the railroad a new and faster way of transportation, not only for people, but also for the goods they traded in, was initiated, and Cheney took advantage of the opportunities involved. The word express soon came to be associated with the railroad. An express train was a fast train and a fast train could deliver the

mail and other merchandise quickly, more so than a stagecoach. One of the first railroads was the Boston and Lowell system which introduced a way other than horsedrawn vehicles or boats (that were unusable during the winter) to move merchandise from one location to another. The Boston and Lowell later became part of the Boston and Maine Railroad system. Benjamin Pierce Cheney, along with Nathaniel White and William Walker, began an express line that would extend across the country and into Canada, beginning with a line from Boston to Concord, New Hampshire, and then on to Montreal. Cheney’s part in the expansion of the railroad was extensive and

ness involvements included other entities besides the railroad, including banks. As a result of his efforts in establishing a railroad line in eastern Washington State a town in that area is named Cheney, Washington. A school which he founded is now called Eastern Washington University and is located in the town that bears his name. He was married to Elizabeth Clapp in 1865 and the couple had two sons and three daughters. So this New Hampshire native who started his working years at age 10 as the son of a blacksmith and was the driver of a stagecoach for six years took advantage of new technology and reportedly built up a fortune of around 10 million dollars.

— No Messy Demolition ! BEFORE

his involvement, in what would eventually help render the stagecoach obsolete, included the Overland Mail, Wells and Fargo’s Express, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Northern Pacific, Mexican Central,the Northern Railroad in New Hampshire, and the Vermont Central. He helped in the consolidation of companies, one of those transactions bringing into being the United States and Canada Express Company in 1854. This company was sold by Cheney to American Express in 1879, so when you look at your American Express card think about the man from New Hampshire who was responsible for the company’s beginning. Benjamin Cheney’s busi-

His railroad ties did cause him some loss, however, because on a trip from Canada back to his home, which was probably in Massachusetts at that time (1854), he lost his right arm in a railroad accident. Cheney was a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and he gave as a gift to the people of New Hampshire a statue of his friend Daniel Webster which stands in front of the State Capitol building in Concord. He died on July 23, 1895. Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr. can be reached at danahillsmiths@yahoo.com

and amnesty for illegal aliens? Eddie was a board member of the NH Endowment for Health for five years when they gave over $50,000 to fund abortions. Eddie supported giving money to help resettle illegal aliens. If you display Eddie’s name in your yard, does it mean you’re okay with a career government employee representing you? Based on my research Eddie has no idea what it’s like to work in the private sector like you and me. If one of Eddie’s red, white, and blue signs is standing guard on your land does it mean you’re a 2nd Amendment hater? Eddie scored a big fat “F” from the NH Firearms Coalition. He refused to fill out their candidate survey. What about transparency? Does Eddie’s sign in your yard say that you’re fine with hiding the facts about the two times Eddie’s been fired from his two government jobs? Eddie negotiated two non-disclosure agreements so you and I don’t know about all his odious and questionable behavior that led to his

terminations. Are you okay with that? I think Eddie is just another Kelly Ayotte. She sold us down the river when she went to DC. What do you think? Tim Carter Meredith, NH

Supporting Bean To the Editor: I wanted to write a few words in support of my friend, Harry Bean who is running for State Rep. Harry is one of the best people I know, he is very charitable, works hard and cares deeply about the residents of this area. He is very analytical and tends to ask the tough questions that some embedded bureaucrats don’t want answered publicly. He is very mindful of the impact our tax burden has and he despises fraud, waste and abuse. Harry Bean is not your usual politician; he is an outsider whose entire agenda revolves around doing the right thing for the residents he seeks to represent. Harry is a skilled carpenter and entrepreneur who began buying rental properties as a young man. His large residen-

tial rental business contains some of the best maintained apartment buildings in the area. He takes pride in his work of providing safe and affordable housing. Harry made his own way in this world. He truly believes that one of the great things about our Country is that with hard work, anyone can be successful, and he strides to keep it that way. Harry is a larger than life character with a big personality. He can often be seen on mild December days riding his Harley, dressed as Santa with his lovely bride Pricilla, on their way to deliver gifts to children. My own children have always referred to him as “Santa Claus” and not just because of Santalike physical characteristics but because of his big heart. The NH State Legislature needs a man with Harry’s moral compass. Please join in voting for Harry Bean for State Rep in the GOP primary on September 11th and again in the General Election on November 6th. Kevin Leandro Gilford, NH.
