Celebrating Railroad History In Ashland by Dan Seufert
Weirs Times Correspondent
Today, downtown Ashland has lots of traffic lights, road signals, and cars and trucks traveling past downtown businesses. But 150 years ago, much of the focus of the town’s activities was on the town’s railroad station, which brought people and freight back and forth to the village from Boston, Concord, and other points along what was once a vast network of railroad lines. In 1869, when the Ash-
land Railroad Station began operating, there were no engine-powered cars or trucks along the streets of the land that now makes up Ashland and Holderness. Without automobiles and an interstate highway system, travelers and businesses had only horses and trains to use in getting back and forth between the cities and seaports to the north and south. “A horse and buggy could take days to get to Boston,” said David Ruell, president See ASHLAND on 25

On Tuesday, Sept 10, at 7pm the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro presents Kurt Dorsey of UNH with the lecture “When and Where? Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, and the Politics of the D-Day Invasion.” As early as the spring of 1942, the United States and Britain promised the Soviet Union it would open a second front in the war against Nazi Germany. More than two years later, the Soviets finally got what they wanted. In this illustrated lecture, Kurk Dorsey examines the forces that impeded the Western Allies from satisfying Soviet demands and the struggle

notice announcing the meeting was to be posted on the schoolhouse door, if there was a schoolhouse in the district, seven days prior to the meeting. If the district lacked a school-house the notice was to be placed on other public buildings. Special meetings could be called at any time for any purpose. Qualified voters were those who resided in the district who were eligible to vote elections.

“Every town shall be divided by metes and bounds into so many districts as the public good requires, which shall be distinguished by suitable boundaries, and include all the territory of the town.” So read the 1843 Guide To Officers Of Towns published in Concord, New Hampshire. Though the education of children was considered the responsibility of the individual towns, the state had regulations governing how they were to do it. “ Metes and bounds “ is a legal term referring to the boundary lines of land. It was used in presenting the regulations of school districts in New Hampshire to stress that they were not to be defined by names of people living within a district but by the specific tracts of land within which they lived. School districts were to be divided by boundary lines, not by the names of the students who attended a certain school. It was considered to be the selectmen’s responsibility to see that a town was divided into school districts by having such e S h op boundaries decided C o m at a town meeting or doing it themselves. If a town failed to divide itself into districts it was considered to be one district. In 1843 each school district in a town was required to hold a meeting for business in the month of March. A

I usually use this column to address some constitutional subject in the news. However, this week, I want to invite everyone to a great event that my organization, The Constitutional Awareness Pact, will be hosting. The Constitutional Awareness Pact (CAP) is going to be hosting its 4th Annual Convention on Friday, September 13th. We are excited to announce that NH Commissioner of Education
Isaac Hadam along with GOP congressional nominee Eddie Edwards, one of the headline speakers at the 2018 convention.

Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Education Frank Edelblut (center) at the convention. Frank Edelblut will be our headline speaker. Other speakers include former Maine State Sen. Garrett Mason, Former NH State Rep. Frank McCarthy, Current Maine State Rep. Nate Wadsworth, CAP President Caleb Ness, and yours truly. The event is FREE for all and will go from 4-7 PM with an intermission halfway through. There will be a free meal provided to all attendees after the last speaker. The convention will be held at the Albany Town Hall in Albany, NH
(1972 NH Route 16). Each year this event covers a wide range of Constitutional topics. CAP’s goal through these annual conventions is to help people see the importance of the Constitution in their lives and to equip them to intellectually defend the Constitution from the many attacks it faces in our modern day When I say the Constitution is being attacked, I mean it. Today we see consistent attacks on the 1st Amendment; whether it is an attack on freedom
of speech and expression under the guise of stopping “hate speech,” or, attacks on religious freedom such as the Masterpiece Cakeshop fiasco in Colorado. Our 2nd Amendment rights always seem to be under attack after a tragic shooting. However, the assaults go beyond our basic liberties and hit foundational Constitutional institutions such as the Electoral College and national sovereignty. I truly think this event will be great for you whether you are a Constitutionally well-informed individual or if you don’t know much about our foundational document but would like to learn more. There truly is something for everyone at this event. For more info, you can check out our Facebook page or website constitutionalawarenesspact. webs.com. If you have any other questions, you can always send them to us through the website as well. I am really excited for this event and hope to see you there.

Helpful Books
by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor
As we get older, focusing more on keeping ourselves healthy is important. It isn’t always easy to do as there are so many unhealthy opportunities that surround us every day and most of them smell and taste so good. Of course, there is always exercise that should be done and usually isn’t because there are always more important things to be done. Educating people on being healthy isn’t easy. No one really wants to listen until it’s too late (I plead guilty to this myself). Trying to educate adults on healthier lifestyles is hard since people nowadays have shorter attention spans (“Hmmm…this stuff about keeping my heart healthy is interesting, but it’s time to check Facebook”) Also, no one really wants to slog through a booklet written by medical professionals. In the end, these books only accomplish one true goal, putting people to sleep; which is crucial for a healthy lifestyle. I thought that writing about health issues could be more effective if it was done in a simpler and easier to read format – Adult Children’s Books. After all, there are plenty of so-called adults out there who won’t read unless it is simplified. They like lots of pictures too. For example, The book “James and The Giant Peach” was a big hit so I thought “James and The Giant Prostate” would be a
good Adult Children’s Book for men who need to be better aware of one thing that can cause a lot of trouble. In the story, James, a middle-class investment banker who works around the clock wakes up one morning to find his prostate, giant and enlarged, sitting at his kitchen table drinking coffee. At first James is horrified until he realizes that his giant prostate is there to help him understand. The only thing a little disturbing about this book might be the illustrations, but with the right artist’s touch, I think it could be handled tastefully. Some Doctor Seuss books could also be used to tell some good adult-sized tales about how to keep healthy “Green Eggs and Ham and Foodborne Illnesses” would be a great book on teaching people the dangers of eating undercooked and raw food. Unfortunately, it would be necessary to illustrate it with a few, tastefully done, pictures of people retching in the bathroom. It would be necessary to truly portray the message. Another great Dr. Seuss book would be “Oh, The Places You Will Go, If You’d Only Get Off Your Butt and Move A Little Bit” which would emphasize the benefits of some exercise every day. “Horton Hears A Who, What & Where?” which will go over the possibilities of hearing loss as you age. Unfortunately, there will be no audio version of this book. Another famous children’s book that could be adapted to the adult health market is “Alice’s Adventures At The Supermarket” where Alice has to navigate the absurd world of content labels on hundreds of food items. The chapter on sodium levels alone will keep even the most distracted reader engaged for hours. There could be a whole
series of books called “The Hearty Boys Mysteries” where each book solves another complicated mystery of the heart. Women would benefit from these books as well but the “The Nancy Drew Mysteries of Menopause” are really only for them (though men might want to have a look to help understand the whole hot an cold thing). Another great idea would be “Charlotte’s World Wide Web” where the story’s heroine, Charlotte, helps older folks understand navigating the Internet. There would be at least one chapter dedicated to helping folks understand the dangers of searching WebMD where every little ache or pain could be either be nothing at all or the end. As mentioned earlier, the proper amount of sleep is essential for good health so “Goodnight Moon, It’s Nine O’Clock” would make for an important read. (There might also be a summertime version called “Goodnight Sun, It’s Nine O’Clock” to help you realize that you’re not alone in feeling the need to hit the hay while it’s still light out.) Another great series of books might start with “Harry Potter & The Out of Pocket Maximum” to help understand the sometimes mysterious world of health insurance. Another book in the series might be “Harry Potter & The Unexpected Bill.” There could be some books on keeping safe like “Where The Wild Things Are & How To Avoid Them” as well as books on developing a more positive outlook on getting older such as “The Little Aging & Increasingly Arthritic Engine That Could (Except On Rainy Days)”. I’m hoping to get to work on some of these books tomorrow, or the next day, depending on how I feel. www.BrendanTSmith.com

Get Off the Sidelines: #StandWithICE Dear fellow patriots: It’s time to stop making nice with those who are waging war on ICE. Are you sick of your neighby Michelle Malkin borhoods beSyndicated Columnist ing hijacked by law enforcement-bashing thugs who prioritize every last illegal immigrant over law-abiding families, workers and employers? Are you sick of do-nothing politicians promising to take action while well-funded and wellorganized protesters riot in our streets and obstruct criminal arrests? Are you sick of nobody (except for a few demonized Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer activists) standing up on the front lines against the American flag hijackers and knee-takers and hatredinciters threatening ICE employees and Border Patrol agents and their families? If so, I hope you will join me as I tour the country the next few months and take the battle for our safety and security straight to the nation’s worst open borders sanctuaries. Look around. We have unhinged Democrats uniting in common cause with violent antifa and cheap labor-hungry big business CEOs to blow holes in our sovereignty and endanger our communities. We have trashmouth Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michiganistan, leading protests against ICE in Dearborn two weeks ago that bullied the city into withdrawing from cooperative agreements to hold illegal immigrant detainees.
We have militant socialists in New York, funded by the farleft Tides Foundation, spreading “abolish ICE” hatred in the streets and instigating witch hunts against ICE online. We have Silicon Valley social justice warriors, including thousands of seditious zealots at Google, Amazon and Microsoft, demanding that their employers stop doing business with any agencies that help enforce our federal immigration laws. This isn’t empty virtue signaling. It’s causing horrific mayhem from coast to coast, as I reported two weeks ago. And it’s not just our men and women at ICE, under literal fire, who suffer the consequences. Have you heard about what’s happening in my old neighborhood in Montgomery County, Maryland? Thanks to treacherous, anti-ICE sanctuary policies that have festered since I moved away more than a decade ago, foreign sexual predators rule the streets with impunity. In just the last month, five rape suspects in this country illegally have been arrested there. The feds report that at least one suspect was released in defiance of an ICE detainer; two more allegedly gang-raped an 11-year-old girl; and another, accused of raping a 16-year-old girl at knifepoint, has fathered 10 children here (all now anchored here with birthright citizenship). That’s just five we know of; the sanctuary anarchists in MS13-infested Montgomery County refuse to collect statistics on these public menaces. How about my adopted home state of Colorado? Earlier this month, deportation officers caught Mexican illegal immi-

Trump Is Right On The China Threat
President Trump’s latest foray into the world of international economics -- his ongoing trade war with China -- has been widely derided by Ben Shapiro by his critics. Syndicated Columnist It’s been derided on the grounds that there is no long-term strategy; on the grounds that the trade war will not be, as Trump has bragged, “good and easy to win”; on the grounds that Trump continues to send mixed signals, simultaneously claiming that China is bearing the brunt of his tariffs while desperately urging Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to lower interest rates. Now, Trump’s trade policy may not be well-considered. His understanding of trade is rudimentary at best -- he still operates under the assumption that mutually beneficial trade is
actually a zero-sum game. And Trump’s rhetoric may be confusing -- it’s unclear whether Trump wants tariffs or wants to alleviate them. But Trump does have one thing absolutely right: China is an imperturbable geopolitical foe. And the United States ought to be taking a serious look at a long-term strategy to contain and then reverse the dominance of the totalitarian communist regime. Trump is the only president of recent vintage to understand this simple truth. The Chinese regime is strengthening its totalitarianism; market forces have not opened up China’s politics. China’s attempts to strengthen its grip on Hong Kong, its forays into the complexities of IndianPakistani politics, its threats of sanctions against American firms over the sale of jets to Taiwan -- all of this bespeaks the intent of the Xi Jinping regime, which has a philosophy of political revanchism.

Islamic State Battered But Not Beaten Warns UN UNITED NATIONS—
Despite its territorial defeat in Syria and facing setbacks in Iraq and elsewhere throughout the Middle East, by John J. Metzler t h e I s l a m i c Syndicated Columnist State (ISIL) is not yet beaten as a terrorist organization. That’s the grim but realistic assessment of the UN’s Counter-terrorism Chief Vladimir Voronkov who warned the Security Council that the violent group still poses a viable threat in regions raging from West Africa to South East Asia. ISIL’s defeat in Syria was a “watershed” that ended “the dystopia of the so-called caliphate.” The group continues to evolve into a covert armed network. He underscored this was the same pattern followed in Iraq since 2017 when the ISIL insurgency focused on disrupting “normalization and reconstruction efforts.” The Counter-terrorism Chief highlighted “a striking increase in ISIL and Al-Qaida linked recruitment and violence” in West Africa noting that the “Islamic State’s West Africa Province is now one of the strongest ISIL affiliates “ with some 4,000 fighters. Dangerous surges in terrorist attacks in Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria underscore his point. The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali has been particularly targeted. He equally cited the heinous Easter Day terror attacks on Christian churches in Sri Lanka.
Voronkov acknowledged a troubling surge in Europe where “radicalization in prisons and those released from prison remain major concerns that compounded the risk of homegrown terrorism.” This comes at a time when ISIL is having trouble sending terrorists to Europe. Equally the report highlights the threat of the foreign terrorist fighters in various conflicts such as Syria and Iraq. Voronkov adds that between 24,000 and 30,000 thousand fighters remain from the initial estimate of 40,000. Norway’s Geir Pedersen, the UN’s Special Envoy for Syria warns “a resurgent ISIL is stepping up its guerrilla attacks.” Among ways to combat ISIL, the UN’s counterterrorism Chief recommends better border security, enhanced law enforcement procedures, and better security at key target areas, including safeguarding religious sites from terrorist attacks. Another issue concerning the Islamic State or Da’esh as it is known amongst the Arabs, concerns its funding. Jonathan Allen, Britain’s Deputy Ambassador advises, “It is also alarming that Da’esh still reportedly has $300 million in reserves. Now we know that terrorist attacks are increasingly low cost and low tech… So that amount of money could cause huge damage.” Indonesia’s Envoy Dian Djani stated, ‘The fall of the last ISIL held territory in Syria and decrease in resources were significant, but evidently does not mean the end of ISIL. Therefore, we feel is is only wise not to go overboard and de-
clare victory over terror just yet.” Furthermore, the Security Council debate did not specifically address the entrenched ISIL and Al-Qaida presence in Afghanistan. Nevertheless there’s a disturbingly dangerous assumption that U.S. peace discussions with the Afghan Taliban forces can somehow magi-
cally end the wider terrorist threat from Afghanistan. That’s foolhardy. While the Trump Administration has pledged to end America’s longest running conflict, the cold calculus remains that militant Taliban forces are only part of the military equation;largely foreign AlSee METZLER on 34
Bad Laws Keep People Poor
Why does most of Africa stay poor while other parts of the world prosper? People blame things like climate, the history of coloby John Stossel nialism, racSyndicated Columnist ism, etc. But I say Senegalese businesswoman Magatte Wade gives the right explanation: too many rules. “Once you hire someone, good luck getting rid of them for any reason,” Wade complains. Her government must approve every firing. “Then the tax code is so complicated... worth at least two or three truckloads of paper.” Wade started a lip balm company. Some of her ingredients are not made in Senegal, so she imports them. To “protect” Senegalese manufacturers, the government makes importing ingredients expensive. “Some have a 70% import tariff on them!” she says. President Donald Trump now threatens similar taxes on imports from China. In Africa, people sometimes escape such taxes by paying bribes. We hear a lot about African corruption. “People complain about corruption as if corruption is a root problem,” says Wade. “I say no. Corruption is a natural consequence of stupid, senseless, idiot laws.” She says there would be just as much corruption in the U.S. if taxes and regulations here made it as difficult to do business as
Senegal does. “The only way to fix corruption is to simplify,” advises Wade. Wade’s business has survived because she was fortunate enough to find a helpful bureaucrat who pointed out a loophole. “I went to see the head of customs, and we started looking together,” recounts Wade.” Looking through the volumes of crushing regulations, they “found a clause in one of the binders saying if you’re exporting 80% of your products, and if you’ve been in business for two years, you can ask for an exemption.” Most people are “clueless” about these obstacles, she says, especially those in academia, Hollywood and the news media. “They have such a strong anticapitalism bias.” To raise awareness about why economic freedom creates prosperity but regulation prevents it, Wade and the Foundation for Economic Education made a documentary titled “Made in Mekhe.” In it, she asks: “Why is it that a couple decades ago, China was at the same level as most African countries? Countries like Singapore made it. Hong Kong made it. Even a place like Dubai -- bare land of desert sand -- all of a sudden, Dubai (is) one of the financial centers of the world! You’re like, what? What happened here?” She says booming places like those understood that they wouldn’t create prosperity unless they made it easy for business to operate. But international aid organizations have a different solution. Wade says they often make Africa’s problems worse by adding

Danger Of Social Media To The Editor: We are electing unqualified people to political offices based on their ability to master the output of social media outlets Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The newest group in Congress exhibit this dangerous phenomenon, with greenhorn Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the group leader, which includes leftist antiAmerican anarchists Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib who hate America. These people and their followers could become a “fifth column” in the U.S. The anti-Americanism spewed by these Democratic agitators might get President Trump reelected. Trump’s comments about the four congresswomen are not racist. In his carelessly inarticulate way he called out their anti-Americanism. Ocasio-Cortez has 4 million Twitter followers she instantly contacts and influences with her anarchistic and antiAmerican views. Other politicians, including Beto O’Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, Peter Buttigieg and Kamala Harris have developed large numbers of Twitter followers, and they are unqualified candidates for President. President Trump, who spews venomous rhetoric at times, instantly accesses about 60 million followers on Twitter. The problem with social media is followers can be

A Layer Of Bureaucracy To The Editor: We have added layer after layer of bureaucracy to our health care system in NH. These layers have not brought our citizens closer to receiving care. Governor Sununu and Commissioner Meyers have recommended a targeted approach for provider rate increases. This approach would foster compliance with federal rules, such as “provider payment rates must be consistent with efficiency, economy, and quality of care and sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available under the plan at least to the extent they are available to the general population in the geographic area.” The 3.5% across the board increase as currently proposed, will not be compliant or resolve the problem of access to care from less costly providers or settings. We need a thoughtful targeted approach, to improve access to care. The many differing provider rates have historically

not been treated in an across the board manner resulting rate inequities. There are breaks in the continuum of care, which result in more costly measures being utilized. People are often stuck weeks or months in a costly inpatient setting, while waiting to access community based care or a mid-level care bed which sits empty, while the bureaucracy swirls and churns. This is about affording patients, and their loved ones, the ability to participate in the development of their own plan of care and having those plans honored.

LITTLE LEAGUE GIRLS Declining attendance and lower TV ratings plague several sports today, from NASCAR to the NFL. But an exception has been the Little League World Series, which takes place every August in Williamsport, Penn. The LLWS now significantly outpaces Major League Baseball in terms of TV ratings. Baseball America quoted ESPN’s Karl Ravech on the phenomenon: “With the Little League World Series you’re getting fans of baseball, fans of nostalgia, fans of memories….fans who once played baseball and who like kids.” And it’s refreshing to watch players compete for the joy of the game and not for money. The debate will continue as to whether it’s too much too soon to put 12-yearolds on national television, but disproportionate attention is something successful athletes must come to terms with sooner or later. Why not sooner? And some players get noticed more than others. When a girl makes it to Williamsport she’s guaranteed to be a focus of attention. Remember Philadelphia’s Mo’ne Davis? She not only played in the 2014 LLWS but was the first girl to earn a win and pitch a shutout in LLWS history. She was about the youngest athlete to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated—if you don’t count Secretariat. This year Minnesota’s Maddy Freking was the first girl to play and pitch
Maddy Freking. in the LLWS since Davis in 2014. Naturally Freking received lots of attention even though her team was shut out twice and quickly eliminated. One wonders if teammates of the likes of Davis and Freking resent the attention that their distaff counterparts get. But to their credit, the boys seem gracious. To them, everyone is a ballplayer. “We’re not surprised when she makes a great play,” Freking’s teammate Wyatt Myers was quoted as saying. “She does it every game.” (ESPN) Somehow I think that the kids may just handle the attention better than

the adults—that parents may be more conscious of disproportionate attention than players. As to th e n otion of 12-year-olds being scarred for life by making errors on national television, my sense is that the youngsters quickly get over things and are just happy for the experience. The same perhaps might not be said for the fathers of players who make miscues! See MOFFETT on 33

Great Hill Fire Tower
Great Hill certainly lives up to its name. The panorama vista from the Great Hill Fire Tower is one of the finest. The Sandwich Range winds around Great Hill, from Sandwich Mountain all the way to Mount Chocorua, the mountaintops will fill your eyes. Steve Smith, author, editor of the AMC White Mountain Guide and owner of the Mountain Wanderer Map & Book Store in Lincoln told me that it may have the best single view of the Sandwich Range. We totally agree with him. The first time I visited the lookout tower was many years ago when I was out bicycling with a friend and we started in Tamworth and pedaled up Great Hill Road. At the junction of Hemenway Road we ditched our bikes and hiked up the old road to reach the tower. It’s a short hike, just half a mile to the tower. Becca and I wanted a not so long hike but one with a big vista and we decided on a return to Great Hill would be perfect. The trip from Great Hill Road was less of

Wright Museum to Host 9-11 Memorial Ceremony
We’re closing for the season on October 27th!
- On Wednesday, September 11, from noon to 1 p.m., Wright Museum will honor the thousands of lives lost 18 years ago at a 9-11 Memorial Ceremony organized by Bob and Lindy Viscio. “My wife and I have been doing this memorial about 10 years after the original organizer, Jeff Adjadant passed away,” said Ceremony Organizer Bob Viscio . “We were both New Yorkers and airline crew. We represent the two airlines used in the 9-11 attacks, United and American.” T h e memo ri a l event will include local first responders, police and fire department personnel and EMS. “We look for people who WOLFEBORO
have stories of any involvement in fallout of the attack,” Viscio said. Museum Executive Director Mike Culver expressed the importance that the museum host this ceremony. “This is a really important event for the museum,” he said. “This was a very dark time in history, and it’s important to honor those who lost their lives 18 years ago. I expect it to be a sad, but healing ceremony.” Viscio said he expects between 60 to 70 attendees for the ceremony, but hopes for more. “For the 10th anniversary, we had over one hundred,” he said. “About 10 UAL flight attendants arrived to support my
wife, a 30-year United flight attendant. We hope to have a good showing this year, 18 years since this cowardly attack on civilian targets.” Since The Wright Museum has long served the community as the region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II. It features more than 14,000 items in its collection that are representative of both the homefront and battlefield. For more information on the museum and their events visit wrightmuseum.org.

GREAT CRAFT ON DRAFT!
Contributing Writer
Fall has its own set of specialties that attract us each time it rolls around. From fall foliage, cooler temps and less humanity (finally), to flannel shirts and hikes to new destinations; fall intrigues us to be a part of great times. It is also a time of year when craft brewers bring out their seasonals to match the climate and activities. Octoberfest and pumpkin beers are front and center in this season. This is part one of two articles on the fall pumpkin flavors we always look forward to. It’s been over a year, maybe two, since we looked into this variety of beer here in this column. We will examine three pumpkin beers that seem to be crowd favorites this week and on to other pumpkin flavored beverages next week. Dogfish Head Brewery in Maryland, was the first to sell their Punkin Ale to the public in 1995. It was so unique and flavorful that it began a new style of fall released copycats trying to put their spin on the pumpkin craze. Today, you can’t go anywhere without seeing a pumpkin-something offered on tap or in bottles and cans. Punkin’s 7% ABV does it right with not too much spice or pumpkin pie on your pallet. In fact, it is the least pumpkin flavor of the three. Instead a gentle reminder you are trying something quite interesting. With a coppery yellow clarity and mellow white head, Punkin Ale delivers a smooth ale with only hints of spice on the

D.A. LONG TAVERN tongue and barely any pumpkin nose, yet it is delicious. You can read up on them here… www.dogfish.com/brewery/beer/ punkin-ale Shipyard Brewing in Portland, Maine, known for their Pumpkinhead Ale produces Smashed Pumpkin which dials it up a few notches with an ABV of 9%. Just slightly deeper in hue than the Dogfish Punkin, it has a lasting creamy white head, tons more spice and cinnamon in your initial sips and fairly boozy. Generous amounts of malt balanced by Saphire and Hallertau hops don’t interfere with the pumpkin in the slightest. Smashed is a good name for this brew… Learn more about and other offerings at Shipyard.com Southern Tier Brewing,
from Lakewood, NY, does a great job with every beer they brew. Opened in 2002, Southern Tier has a rich history of creating one-of-a-kind beers. Of the three beers here, this one is the most interesting. Similar in hue to Dogfish, Pumking is brewed with fresh baked pumpkin from local NY farms. Rated as an Imperial on the label, it is spicy and big and let’s you know who’s boss. At 8.6% ABV, it’s not the biggest but possesses the best flavor.

What’s Going On Meow? Older Cats and Thyroid Disease
Those Cat Rescue People took in a cat who was in one family for 16 years. We are calling him George. They got a new baby , and after keeping him alone in their basement for a time, they gave him away to a young woman who realized that the cat was quite ill. She called me. This beautiful, loving, sweet maine coon brown tabby was drinking and eating all he could, filled the litter box in one day, and was quite thin. When you have a cat this old with these symptoms, you think diabetes or thyroid disease. Turns out that George has Thyroid disease. He will be treated with radiation to resolve his hyperthyroidism, and hopefully we will find a good retirement home for him. His treatment will be at least $1600, but it will avoid having to give him pills twice a day for the rest of his life. We treat our rescue cats as if they were our own pets, and this is what I did with the last cat I owned who had thyroid disease. He lived 6 years after the treatment, and died at a nice old age of 15. Donations welcome at Those Cat Rescue People 132 Webber Road, Strafford, NH 03884
GEORGE
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is the most common glandular disorder in cats. It is most frequently caused by an excessive concentration of circulating thyroxine-a thyroid hormone better known as T4-in the bloodstream. Symptoms include: Weight loss and increased appetite. Excessive thirst, increased urination, hyperactivity, unkempt appearance, panting, diarrhea and increased shedding have also been reported. Vomiting is seen in about 50 percent of affected cats. Clinical signs are a result of the effect of increased T4 levels on various organ systems. Hyperthyroidism occurs in any breed, but mainly in older cats. Less than 6 percent of cases are younger than 10 years of age; the average age at onset is between 12 and 13 years. Diagnosis: A simple blood test can diagnose most cases. There are 3 treatments available: 1. Oral administration of antithyroid medication. Methimazole (brand nameTapazoleTM) has long been the mainstay of drug therapy for feline hyperthyroidism. 2. Surgical removal of the thyroid gland. This can be risky because the cat is older, and the anesthesia is dangerous in older cats 3. Radioactive iodine therapy. This is probably the safest and most effective treatment option. No anesthesia or surgery is required, and only one treatment is usually needed to achieve a cure. The cat must be kept in isolation until the radiation levels in its body are reduced to safe levels. Volunteers Needed: Almost all animal rescues operate mainly with volunteer help, and the people who do trapping for feral and stray cats are no exception. If you want to help, find a local rescue and volunteer; clean cages, socialize cats and kittens, walk dogs, learn to trap: GET INVOLVED.
LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES Say Hello to Bunny!
“Bunny” the cat was named for her extremely soft white coat. This elegant lady was found as a stray on a back country road in North Carolina. Her finders kept her and moved to NH but then couldn’t keep her and turned her into LRHS. She is 3-years-old, likes other cats and people, is current on vaccinations, testing, spayed, microchopped and is looking for a loving new home. Lakes Region Humane Society 11 Old Rt. 28, Ossipee, NH (603) 539-1077 • www.lrhs.net
Meet Theo!
Theo is an adorable one-and-a-half-year-old mix breed dog that has been at PMHS for over two months. He’s looking for a lively forever home where he can play and learn! Theo is a spunky, playful pup! Unfortunately, this energetic guy hasn’t always been loved the way he should. Theo spent the majority of the first year of his life in a neglectful situation, with little socialization. He lived in a basement, alone and waiting to be noticed by his humans. Due to this experience, it can take a little time for him to warm up to you, but once he does, he’s a sweet and friendly pup! Theo is well-trained, knows his basic commands, and loves going for walks! As a loyal and loving dog, Theo can become a bit protective once he’s bonded to his humans and his place. He’s looking for an experienced home that will help him with his manners and give him the proper socialization he missed early in his life. He would likely prefer a home without other animals, so he can soak up as much attention as possible! Family members should be aged 12+. Do you have room in your heart and home for this energetic guy? Come meet Theo at Pope Memorial Humane Society (formerly Cocheco Valley Humane Society) at 221 County Farm Road in Dover, NH!

Edward Needs A Caring Home
This is Edward. The vet says he isn’t much older that 3 years old, but in his short life he’s encountered more troubles than most. At some point, he lost a front leg, and went almost blind. Now he has a horrible ulcer in one eye, and high blood pressure. He will be gorgeous, with long grey hair, and he is going to need a home with people who can make sure he keeps getting his medicine, and who can keep a close eye on him, and who don’t move the furniture around a lot. He is feeling much better now, but is a real couch potato even when he’s feeling great. Loves to be petted, and is generally curious. Loves to hang out in his tower of holes.

More than two years later, the Soviets finally got what they wanted.

NH Boat Museum to host Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta WOLFEBORO - On Friday and Saturday, September 13 and 14, New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host the eleventh biennial Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta. In total, nearly 50 vintage boats will participate in the Regatta, including small outboards, Grand
Prix hydroplanes, Jersey Skiffs and Gold Cup racing boats, in group heats on a one-mile oval-shaped course. “This is an incredible event that only takes place once every two years, so we expect big crowds to come up to see the best vintage race boat exhibition anywhere,” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings. Regatta participants, she added, come from as far away as South Florida, the upper Midwest and Canada. “Visitors also have a chance to ride on some of the boats in between heats,” said Cummings. “We will offer pit passes, too, and spectators can also attend several evening events and meet the drivers. It’s a fun event that involves all of Wolfeboro.”
Founded in 1992 by vintage boating enthusiasts, NHBM is committed to inspire people of all ages with an understanding of, and appreciation for, the boating heritage of New Hampshire’s fresh waterways. While there are donations benefiting the museum for rides with the drivers and pit passes, there is no charge to view these great vintage race boats run at speed on the course. “This is a great chance to see some beautiful boats and learn more about the museum,” too,” said Cummings. “This is an accessible event that can be enjoyed by all ages.” To learn more about NHBM or the Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta, visit nhbm.org.

Other products like maple syrup and shoe pegs were also sent to big manufacturing centers via the station and the railroad lines. In summer months, and as the skiing industry took hold of New Hampshire’s mountains in the winter, the Ashland station was frequented by tourists, who were met at the station and then taken by horse and buggies, and later by cars, to area resorts and lodging businesses. “They marketed this area as far south as the Boston stations, in the summer

of the Ashland Historical Society, “but by train, it was only a matter of hours.” The rail lines that pass the town’s station are still used, but not nearly at the level used then. The Ashland Train Station is now a museum, preserved and run by the historical society, which is open to the public as a reminder of how life used to be. “At one time, in the early 20th century, there were ten cars a day or more full of people coming through,” said the society’s Jane Sawyer, who will be one of many dressed in 19thcentury outfits when the society celebrates the sta-
tion’s 150th anniversary on Sept. 14. “Now there aren’t many train stations left.” The station first opened in 1869 as part of the Boston, Concord and Montreal Railroad system. As railroads rose to prominence in New England and across the continent, passengers took advantage of trains, a faster mode of travel than going on foot or horse and buggy. Local paper and wool mills, meanwhile, took advantage of the freight-hauling capabilities that trains provided. “Essentially, the railroads were the only way of long distance travel,” said Ruell. “For the town paper
mill and woolen mill, the railroad really opened it up, bringing raw materials in and taking finished products out.” Farmers would bring
25 months getting to the lakes and mountains was faster by train, and in the winter they would provide skiers with equipment for the snow trains that they sent through,” Sawyer said. Automobiles would start taking the place of locomotives in the 20th century. The railroad line, which had been leased to the Boston and Maine Railroad, was closed in 1950, and when the Interstate 93 arrived in 1964, the railroad system lost much of its usefulness, as cars and truck could take tourists and products back and forth.

family of Lincoln began leasing the rail lines, establishing the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad between Meredith and Laconia and the Hobo Railroad in the Lincoln - Woodstock area. The Ashland station, meanwhile, was bought in 1960 by Joseph Curley. His widow, Vera Curley, donated the property to the Ashland Historical Society in 1980. The station
was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1997 and 1998, the station was restored and renovated for use as a railroad museum and a meeting place for the society. The cost of the renovations was a little more than $200,000. The society applied for and received a federal transportation program grant, which was administered by the state’s

Department of Transportation. To meet its part of the matching 80-20 percent grant, the group raised about $40,000 for the renovation cost. The Ashland Railroad Station was dedicated as a museum on June 26, 1999. Known as one of the best-preserved late 19th Century railroad stations in New Hampshire, it houses a growing collection of railroad artifacts, pictures,

and documents, Ruell said. Outside, solid decking reaches to the train track, so people riding the train excursions can visit the museum (and the society wants to raise money to extend the decking further up the rail). There is also an old signal or semaphore arm so oncoming trains could get orders. Across the road, the former freight side of the station is now privately owned. Inside the door, the former railroad’s control room features telegraph machinery and an old telephone and radio microphone, used by railroad controllers communicating from station to station and from station to train. There’s also a meeting area that has seating for 40 people, and there are numerous displays with images and maps showing what life was like in the days of railroads. The town’s railroad historians are very proud of
their train museum. “It’s one of the best stations left in the state, and really it’s a lot of fun,” Sawyer said. “There are a lot more train enthusiasts around these days, and with the scenic and foliage trains, we get a lot of visitors.” The museum is located on Route 132 (Depot St.) in Ashland village, about a half mile south of the junction of Routes 3 and 132. The museum is open free to the public from 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays in July and August. The Ashland Historical Society will celebrate the 150th Anniversary Saturday, September 14th and the public is invited to attend. The day will be filled with live music from a band known as The Hardtacks, which plays music from the days of the railroads, and there will be folks dressed in period attire from the 1860s (the public is encouraged to See ASHLAND on 27

This nice map is just on the other side of the bridge over the Swift River in case you forget to download the trail map from the Tamworth Conservation Commission’s website. From the Great Hill Fire Tower there is a big vista of Mount Chocorua and of all the other mountains in the Sandwich Range. On our return we took the other part of the loop down and we passed by some very large pine and hemlock trees. When we recrossed the bridge we turned right and
followed the Easy Walker Nature Trail, its less than a quarter mile and rejoins the path on our way back to the car. The footpath wasn’t as well worn as the other trails but there are red arrows that point the way. At the TamworthConservationCommision.Org

Inside the tower are wood signs below each window that are the silhouettes of the vista that point out the names of each mountain. Sandwich, Whiteface, Passaconaway, Paugus and Chocorua we didn’t need the help to identify some of the smaller and distance peaks the viewfinder was a great help.

to exercise prudence in governing the affairs of the district. Their specific duties in 1843 were described as follows: “ It shall be the duty of the prudential committee to select and hire
teachers for the district, provide for their board, furnish necessary fuel, make such necessary repairs in the school-house and furniture as may be necessary, not exceeding in amount five per cent of the school money for
the district, notify the superintending school committee of the commencement of the summer and winter school, and give them all such information and assistance as may be necessary for the performance of their duties.” Taxes to support the schools were to be raised by the towns and the selectmen of each town were to assign a portion of those taxes to each district in accordance with the valuation of each district or with a method decided upon at the annual town meeting. The money appropriated was intended to provide English schools the funds needed to teach reading, writing, English grammar, arithmetic, geography, and “ other branches of English education as are adapted to the advancement of the school…” Fuel for the schools and necessary repairs were also to be provided for. The state regulations in 1843 detailed the processes to be used in erecting, repairing, and furnishing the same. Among the opinions expressed concerning the regulations governing school district operations was that “ If a district
List of punishments for offenders of rules at a Virginia School ‘in past days. has a sufficient schoolhouse, a vote to build another will be illegal.” Another rule noted to be one of many Revised Statutes was “ It shall be unlawful to keep the district school in any other place than in the school-
house belonging to the district, unless there be no school-house. or the school-house be out of repair, or not of sufficient size to accommodate the school..” The school committee was responsible to select the books used in the classroom, but the parents of the students were expected to purchase them; however, if a “poor child” was destitute of the necessary class books, then the selectmen were to provide such books at the expense of the town. Also, “ No book shall be directed to be used as a school book which is calculated to favor any particular religious or political sect or tenet.” The Revised Statutes of 1843 did require that anyone who was involved in the instruction of children teach them high standards of conduct and being duty-bound “…diligently to impress upon their minds the principles of piety and justice, a sacred regard to truth, love of country, humanity and benevolence: sobriety, industry and frugality; chastity, See SMITH on 31

scholars into two groups and hiring an additional teacher. Three-fourths of those voting had to approve the change for it to become valid. There were many other guidelines as to how district schools were to operate, including how taxes were to be raised to support the education of children. Though the regulations were issued by the state, it is obvious that there was much local control, including when the schools would be in session. It also appears that some ideas concerning suitable procedures were borrowed from nearby States. Robert Hanaford Smith, Sr., welcomes your comments at danshillsmiths@ yahoo.com

moderation of Dengism -- the political philosophy of Deng Xiaoping, which supposedly prized pragmatism over doctrinal adherence to Marxist tenets -- is being quickly reversed, with China’s economy placed at the mercy of political leadership. Dengism was always treated with too much optimism by the West: The same regime supposedly pushing for detente with the West stole hundreds of billions in intellectual property every year for years while continuing to build up its military. ! Still, Xi has moved away from even tepid moves toward openness. Two significant projects in recent years demonstrate the scale of China’s ambitions. First, there’s the so-called Belt and Road Initiative, in which China has helped subsidize building infrastructure in a bevy of countries throughout the world. Up to 68 countries are already taking part. The project is designed to place these countries in hock to the Chinese government; it’s also designed to maximize China’s naval power in the region. Then there is China’s heavy focus on government-subsidized building of 5G, using Huawei as the tip of the spear. China is offering 5G technology to developing countries at discounted prices, and those countries, hungry for the technology, have been accepting, likely at the cost of their own privacy and security. The goal, as always: maximization of China’s sphere of influence. Free trade isn’t going to cure this. China’s government has been willing to utilize mercantilism to prop up its global ambitions. Capitalism hasn’t opened China’s politics. Free trade has indeed benefitted China’s citizens, bringing hundreds of millions out of poverty, but the Chinese government has responded with more repression, not less. All of which
means that the United States must be pursuing a thorough strategy of opposition to China’s ambitions. Trump seems to understand this. But if he fails to articulate that to the American people, his economic war with China will fail. That’s because if the American people are asked to shoulder an economic burden without being informed as to the rationale or the cost, they will rightly buck. Trump hasn’t explained that the burden exists, let alone why the American people should shoulder it. With that said, at least Trump recognizes the threat China represents. The chattering class has, for far too long, ignored that threat, to the detriment of the United States and her allies.

GOLF GOLD Rory McIlroy recently pocketed a cool $15 million by winning golf’s Tour Championship in Atlanta. Not bad for four days work. Consider that the first golfer to earn $1 million in CAREER prize money was Arnold Palmer in 1969. It took him over a decade. Of course, 1969 dollars were worth more than 2019 dollars. After taxes, Rory’s winnings would just about pay for tuition at a private college, nowadays. Fore!

grant Roberto GutierrezHernandez, who had been convicted of sexual assault on a child in the sanctuary hell of Boulder. ICE had originally lodged a detainer on Gutierrez-Hernandez with the county jail in March 2017 on other criminal charges and then again in November 2017. The jail run by Boulder’s sanctuary anarchists refused. Another young illegal immigrant, El Salvadoran Amilcar Aguilar-Hernandez, racked up a criminal conviction for felony trespassing before being arrested in a rape case at Fort Carson in Colorado
Springs,. He is also currently being prosecuted for orchestrating an escape from the Aurora ICE facility near Denver. Last week, I had an opportunity to visit with the dedicated folks at ICE who work at the Aurora, Colorado, detention center run by GEO Group. This is the same facility where open borders mobsters tore down Old Glory and replaced it with a Mexican flag last month. Inside, illegal immigrants get free access to LexisNexis, dental services, a full-scale pharmacy, video games, pingpong tables and even telepsychiatry appointments. But you

wouldn’t know it from the hysterical rhetoric and lies. John Fabbricatore, acting field office director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations in Denver, shared his concerns about the ICE workforce’s safety. “It’s definitely something that I worry about,” Fabrricatore told me. If protesters want to change our laws, “people should be protesting Congress, not our officers.” A veteran of the agency for 27 years who also served in the Air Force, Fabbricatore spoke passionately about his job: “It’s about protecting the United States. We do it with professionalism and courtesy. Most of the people here are parents. We don’t want bad things happening to people and children.” Christopher Jones, assistant ICE officer in charge at the GEO Group facility, has served with ICE since 2008, Border Patrol for 9 years and the Marine Corps for 8 years. “We’re forced to defend what we do on a daily basis,” he said, describing how irate social justice mobsters have taken pictures of his officers while sanctuary police stand by. “False narratives,” he warned, are threatening his colleagues and their loved ones. The guardians against immigration anarchy shouldn’t have to go it alone. That’s why I’m launching a nationwide tour of sanctuary cities -including Denver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Minneapolis -- to expose the money behind the sovereignty saboteurs and to organize citizens willing to #StandWithICE (for more information, go to OpenBordersInc. com.)

rules. The U.N.’s “Sustainable Development” goals include things like “inclusive and equitable quality education,” “climate change” and “gender equality.” “We have chains around our necks! No one is seeing it. Then they want to come talk to me about inequality! We need greater economic freedom!” Governments send $50 billion a year to Africa, and businesses offer Africa free goods. TOMS Shoes promotes itself by sending a pair of shoes to Africa for every pair you buy. Wade says: “I know it came from a good place. I get it. But can you just think further down the road?” She points out that a result of TOMS “charity” is that African shoemakers go out of business. “You can’t compete with free!” But donation promotion has become trendy among Western businesses, says Wade. “Now you’re seeing it with tampons, seeing it with soap, with everything!” Africa becomes dependent instead of self-sustaining. It would be better, says Wade, if Westerners simply encouraged African governments to stop strangling their own entrepreneurs. “If I have a job then, guess what? My malnutrition problem goes poof! Even access to clean water goes poof,” says Wade. Instead, “the business climate sucks so much that people like me can’t do that work of creating companies and jobs.” John Stossel is author of “No They Can’t!

Qaida and Da’esh terrorists actually pose an enduring security risk to the USA and thus the Administration is well warranted to keep a residual force of at least 8,000 Americans in the country. Currently U.S. forces and military units from NATO are part of Afghanistan’s security commitment. The multinational Resolute Support mission has 17,000 troops from 39 countries. Besides 8,500 American forces, the three other largest troop contributors are Germany deploying 1,300, United Kingdom 1,100 and Italy with 900. Intelligence estimates put the ISIL strength in the thousands of fighters, some from Central Asia but also from Syria, Chechnya, and Bangladesh. Though the U.S. military was instrumental in helping defeat the formal Da’esh Caliphate, a dispersed and motivated terrorist movement has regrouped in Afghanistan. It’s doubtful the Afghan National Army could seriously challenge ISIL which remains tougher and more motivated than the home grown Taliban. ISIL is responsible for some recent high profile terrorist attacks throughout Afghanistan. Never forget it was the Al-Qaida network, equally active in Afghanistan, which used this South Asian country as a staging ground for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America. Even should the U.S. reach a long-awaited agreement with the Taliban, Washington would be prudent to retain a residual security footprint in Afghanistan precisely to avoid the inevitable. The United States is immeasurably safer confronting and eliminating the terrorist threat at a distance, rather than waiting for ISIL to come closer to our shores. It’s not worth the risk. John J. Metzler is a United Nations correspondent covering diplomatic and defense issues. He is the author of Divided Dynamism The Diplomacy of Separated Nations: Germany, Korea, China.
