Sinatra Tribute At Opera House

One of 83 sketches by Charles Miller in a new exhibit at the Wright Museum of WWII in Wolfeboro. Running September 19th through October 31st, the exhibit “The World War II Art of Private Charles J. Miller” is the first time most of these sketches by the Nashua native have been seen in public.

New Exhibit Uncovers The World War II Art of A New Hampshire Native The final exhibit of the season at the Wright Museum of World War II in Wolfeboro is one of the more personal stories by one New Hampshire man who served in the Pacific Theatre. “The World War II Art of Private Charles J. Miller”, beginning on September 19th, is a collection of eighty-three pen and ink

sketches (out of a total of approximately five hundred) by Miller that were created in real time during his time in the military between 1942 and 1945. They are not only wonderful works of art but historical documents as well as he also included handwritten descriptions of each scene. Michael Culver, Ex-

ecutive Director of the Wright Museum, came into contact with these remarkable pieces when he was contacted by Miller’s nephew, Bob Dennis married to Millers’ niece, Nancy. They had been caring for the paintings as best they could over the years and decided it was time to pass it on where Miller’s work could be finally fully

appreciated. Charles (Charlie) Miller was born in Nashua in 1906, his parents, Barney and Marcella Badaris, were immigrants from Lithuania. Charlie was given the surname Miller by his parents so to have a more Americanized name. There were also three sisters: Amelia, See miller on 20

A latte’ art throwdown later in the afternoon will pit trained and amateur baristas against each other in a fun battle to see who creates the most beautiful poured designs in fresh brewed cafe latte’. There are games and activities for younger festival goers, and live jazz all afternoon long by the Jonathan Lorentz Trio. Over 30 vendors will be showcasing their coffee offerings. Besides roasters and brewers who’ll be selling and sampling their wares, the NH Coffee Festival has sought out coffee-related items that range from the expected sweets to the unexpected savory delicacies, as well as clothing, body care, household items and more, all celebrating the beloved coffee bean. Yes, there’s also a tea vendor, because we know coffee isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. A Best Coffee of the NH Coffee Festival competition, determined by popular vote, will round out the afternoon. Come bring your family and friends, and experience a whole new meaning of “Let’s meet for coffee”.

“Ansel Adams: The Shaping Vision” In Campton On Monday September 21st at 7pm, the Campton Historical Society presents a program on photographer Ansel Adams given by Dave Peeler.

He also developed a strong sense of environmental politics that likewise motivated both contemporaries and successors. This illustrated talk will follow Adams and the shaping visions that he brought to his projects. David Peeler is the author of The Illuminating Mind in American Photography, published by the University of Rochester Press. The presentation will be at the Old Town Hall in Campton, which is handicap accessible, and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

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

Drink Up!

by Brendan Smith Weirs Times Editor

Did you hear about â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bartenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Bookâ&#x20AC;? here in New Hampshire? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think so. It is quite a scandalous affair that some have tried to sweep under the cashier station. It seems the state spent $3,000 (in reality, we all spent $3,000) to print a book that employees at state liquor stores could use to offer customers help in figuring out some great new drinks they might try and what goes in them. Waitâ&#x20AC;Śdonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start laughing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not even the funny part yet. Supposedly, a few of the names of the drinks were so offensive that some employees refused to read them to customers and complained to their management who in turn complained to higher ups who in turn complained to the governor who did what any responsible public official would do after they had just spent $3,000 of our money on a new, not very well thought out idea. She had all the books thrown out. Ca-ching! Okay, now you can start laughing, or crying, depending on how your day went. Still, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that the idea itself should be thrown out. I believe that the state could produce another book (whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a measly $3,000) of exciting cocktail ideas to help the befuddled casual imbiber choose between the newest Russian Vodka in the

eye-catching floor display or the overstocked Caribbean spiced rum with the $5 off coupon. This time it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be embarrassing names that are hard to repeat, but drink names that are related to New Hampshire both past and present. This way we can not only sell liquor but educate people as well. Maybe even bring in some new customers who are just showing up to learn a few things. Here are a few of my ideas for drink names. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figured out yet what will go in all of them. The Drink Less Sipped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking this might be an expensive brandy of some sort. Possibly served in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frostâ&#x20AC;?ed glass. The Old Man and Mountain Dew â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A great one for the younger generation giving them both a history lesson and another use for one of their favorite soft drinks. The Kancamagus Highball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two of these and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to pronounce Kancamagusâ&#x20AC;Ś Then again, you might not be able to even before you have one. The New Hampshire House â&#x20AC;&#x201C;This drink will change every two years and can be made from any combination of four hundred different types of liquors. The mixer used will be debatable. The NH Senate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This will be pretty much the same as The New Hampshire House but the mixer will be changed, just to be different. The Flatlander â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This could be made with any new liquors that come on the market, though it is expected that it will be anywhere from six months to a year until natives will

try it. (Still, no native will admit they like it no matter how good it tastes.)

The White Mountains â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Not sure which liquor will be used, but I know it will be a cream drink. First In The Nation â&#x20AC;&#x201C;This drink will change every four years as liquor companies will lobby long and hard across the state to have their product included. The final recipe will not be pleasing to everyone. On the wine front, I was thinking that maybe the folks at the State Liquor Stores could use this opportunity to increase lottery ticket sales as well, perhaps suggesting different tickets to go along with different wines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see you have chosen the Pinot Noir. May I suggest a ten-dollar â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Buck Bonanzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to go along with it? To get the full effect I would recommend using a dime instead of a quarter in scratching the ticket so as to have the illusion of winning last just a little longer, much like the lingering aroma of the Pinot.â&#x20AC;? To promote this new approach, the Liquor Commission could get together with the Department of Travel and Tourism and spend some money to come up with a catchy slogan like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live Free and Drink, Drink, Drink Responsibly.â&#x20AC;? Do you have an idea for a drink name using something to do with New Hampshire? Send it along to me including what might be in it and other details. I will then take them all and put them in a booklet and present it to the powers that be at the NH Liquor Commission who will, in turn, not even consider it because it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t their idea.

For The Children? To the Editor: We often hear demands to do things “for the children”. When we hear of children being shot, stricter gun control laws are demanded. It’s said “to save even one child’s life” it’s worth further limiting the freedoms of the American people, even with new laws that wouldn’t have saved a single life. But the politicians and media are selective in their concerns “for the children”. If an American, who isn’t a known criminal or gang member, shoots a child, even if current laws should have prevented the gun sale, then they demand restricting the rights of all Americans who use guns legally and responsibly. But the politicians and media don’t seem to care about the more normal situation when illegal aliens (or known criminals or gang members) kill children or other Americans. The number of illegal aliens alone incarcerated for homicide is surprisingly high, about 25,000 according to a 2011 GAO report (compare to 16,000 annual homicides). Just enforcing our current immigration laws, requiring changes in policy but no additional funding, could significantly reduce the killings, rapes, kidnappings, robberies, brutalization, and other crimes against Americans, including children, without reducing the freedoms of law-abiding citizens.

Our Story

Democrat and Republican establishment politicians apparently gain too much from illegal immigration to stop it, no matter how many American children and adults suffer. It’s time to drive those politicians from office and replace them with people who will stop illegal immigration and save many thousands of Americans from harm. Don Ewing Meredith, NH.

Trump The Loose Cannon To The Editor: Donald Trump should not be a candidate for President of the United States. He is a volatile “loose cannon” who is out of control, and I am not referring to the immigration issue, which has to be addressed by more logical minds. Trump is the personification of a global bully who would try to bully our potential adversaries into submission, and he could end up initiating major conflicts in the world. My concern is he will “shoot from the hip” and blunder into a nuclear war with Russia or China. I have been voting as a conservative for various candidates from both parties since 1960 and I do not recall a presidential candidate who is so “off the wall” as Donald Trump. Mr. Trump is not presidential material and he

Back to School Food To The Editor: With the new school year just around the corner, parents’ attention is turning to school clothes, supplies, and lunches. Yes, school lunches! In past years, USDA had used our nation’s schools as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. Not surprisingly, one-third of children have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Gradually, the tide is turning. New guidelines mandated by President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, require doubling the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no meat for breakfast. A survey released last week shows the guidelines supported by 86% of Americans. Sixty-four percent of U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options.

The first professional sports team—the Cincinnati Red Stockings formed in 1866—eventually developed a uniform UNIFORMS A recent feature on “cs- of sorts, to go along with their red stockings.

nmidatlantic.com” rated the uniforms of National Football League teams. At the bottom of the list was Tampa Bay. The New England Patriots were rated #13, right behind my personal favorite, the New York Giants at #12. The subjective rankings got me thinking about uniforms. Who invented uniforms, anyway? Maybe they were a product of ancient military actions, designed to keep soldiers from striking comrades by mistake. The first professional sports team—the Cincinnati Red Stockings—eventually developed a uniform of sorts, to go along with their red stockings. Other teams “followed suit” with suits of their own. Interestingly, it wasn’t until the 1920s that players wore numbers. Ty Cobb never had a number in Detroit. The New York Yankees started the practice when they assigned numbers that matched the players’ places in the batting order. Ergo, the number three hitter, Babe Ruth, wore #3. The number four hitter, Lou Gehrig, wore #4. And the Yan-

kees wore those famous pinstripes on perhaps the most recognizable sports uniforms ever. Baseball uniforms have evolved since those days and it’s interesting to look at how players dressed in old team photos. Did Ted Williams ever wear anything other than baggy flannels? There have been some notoriously ugly team uniforms, particularly in the 1970s, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the San Diego Padres had uniforms that were so gross that these teams were doomed to failure until they redesigned their looks. Then they finally went to the Super Bowl and the World Series, respectively. Some inspired sports marketer thought of “throw-back” uniforms to honor team histories. The throw-backs were nostalgic hits and created a new lucrative sports apparel demand for most franchises. Even I have a Carl Yastrzemski #8 BoSox jersey. An L.A. Laker sports marketer once suggest-

ed that the team wear white home jerseys instead of the traditional gold for a nationally-televised Christmas Day NBA game. The new look was a hit and the Lakers made millions of extra dollars selling white jerseys. And of course, there was that inspired sports marketer who once thought of selling “pink” uniforms, presumably for the ladies. I can imagine old-timers muttering “There’s no pink in baseball,” but pink jerseys and caps are now sprinkled amongst every Fenway Park crowd. The right uniform look is important to branding.

Meet Candy Carson: The Anti-Michelle Obama After nearly eight years of the East Wing’s politics of mope and complain, it’s refreshing to see a presidential candidate’s spouse by Michelle Malkin who is always Syndicated Columnist smiling. Candy Carson — wife of GOP 2016 hopeful Dr. Ben Carson, mother of three sons, and grandmother of two — is the anti-Michelle Obama. She’s a quiet but confident ray of sunshine: down-to-earth, devoutly Christian and proudly patriotic. While Mrs. Obama first gained notoriety carping about racism and trashing America, Mrs. Carson helped kick off her husband’s 2016 bid by playing the violin with a gospel choir as they performed a joyful, rousing rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. I met the couple, who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, a few weeks ago during a campaign stop in Colorado Springs. Dr. Carson’s dazzling career as a Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon is well known. But Mrs. Carson’s own personal story is remarkable as a standalone exemplar of the American Dream achieved. The daughter of a teacher and a factory worker, Candy Carson grew up poor in inner-city Detroit with four siblings. She earned a scholarship to attend Yale University, where she met her future husband and fellow Detroit native. Mrs. Carson triple-majored in music, psychology and pre-med. She played violin for the Yale Symphony and Bach Society. Just as her church-organist mother insisted that all her children learn to play

instruments, Mrs. Carson formed a string quartet (two violins, cello and viola) with her own three sons dubbed the “Carson Four.” Feminists loved Mrs. Obama’s relentless jokes openly denigrating her spouse’s shortcomings as a husband and father on the campaign trail. Victory did not improve her dour disposition. Even after moving into the White House and enjoying multiple taxpayerfinanced vacations around the world, President Obama’s bitter half bizarrely lamented her plight as a “busy single mother.” So. Put. Upon. By contrast, Mrs. Carson revels in her role as family matriarch and life partner in her husband’s endeavors. “The calling of a neurosurgeon isn’t easy to live out, and Ben has been required to go above and beyond the call of duty many times,” she writes in her upcoming memoir, “A Doctor in the House.” “The life of a neurosurgeon’s wife isn’t much easier. But it’s all been worth it. Together, we’ve been through poverty, tragedy, wealth, and joy, and I’ve come to love Ben more as each year has passed.” Mrs. Obama regularly grumbles about juggling her various roles. “Finding balance has been the struggle of my life and my marriage, in being a woman, being a professional, being a mother,” she kvetched to Ladies Home Journal. “What women have the power to do, through our own experiences, is to push that balance out into the culture. If people are happier, and they’re more engaged, and they have jobs they can value that allow them to respect and value their homes, that makes the home life stronger.” Struggle this, struggle that.

NH Listens? Or Does It?

A couple of years ago, while sitting in the NH House of Representatives, one of my goals was to try to inform our communities by Jane Cormier about the beast Hooksett, NH. known as NH Regional Planning Commissions. Their goals of trying to re-write zoning laws, implement workforce housing, and build sustainable living communities are very worrisome. Indeed, they are still hard at work and one of the ways their propaganda comes to us is through “NH Listens” sessions. For those who may have forgotten, NH Listens hosts “discussions” on community initiatives which promote only a sought-after outcome – namely promoting sustainable living communities. While NH Listens says it holds open community engagement in its sessions, it is really quite the See malkin on 27 opposite.

After attending these sessions a couple of years ago, once as a private citizen and once as a sitting state representative, it was clear NH Listens sessions were based on promoting only the end game of building sustainable living initiatives. There was nothing “real” happening at these sessions, except the facilitators doing their very best to sway the attendees present to their point of view. There was no true open dialogue in these sessions. Dissenters were ignored, spoken over, or ridiculed when they voiced their concerns. So, now NH Listens is doubling down. They are now holding new and improved sessions called “Facilitating for Public Engagement”, or “The Facilitation Laboratory – An active exploration of the practice of facilitation”. Can someone tell me what exactly IS “the practice of facilitation”? And, facilitation of what, exactly? Talk about a canard. NH Listens says, “This daylong See cormier on 24

Ivory Tower Of Babel

It took them more than a week to recognize they had become laughingstocks, but University of by Ken Gorrell Tennessee Northfield, NH. president Joe DiPietro finally ordered the Knoxville campus to remove a pronoun guide posted by the public university’s Vice Chancellor for Diversity. The guide had made the Knoxville campus the latest stop on the “50 Silliest Places on Earth” tour. Attempting to bring a “welcoming and inclusive” tone to the limiting and marginalizing

English language – or at least to that version of the language spoken by students and faculty in the Volunteer State – the guide provided non-words like “xe,” “zir,” and “xyr” as replacements for the sexist “he” and “she.” University officials told reporters they didn’t want to “dictate speech,” but the guide had been published on the system’s website and emailed to every faculty member by a vice chancellor. Perceptions matter. In his retraction, DiPietro bemoaned the fact that the University had tried unsuccessfully to communicate that the guide was not directive. Like the “pirate code,” these were not actual rules. “The social issues and practices raised by the Office for Diversity and

Syria’s Migrant Wave Challenges Europe, Shames Rich Arabs UNITED TIONS -

NA-

The scenes of Syrians fleeing their homeland and pouring on to the roads and rail links of Greece by John J. Metzler and the BalSyndicated Columnist kans create an almost Biblical image. Exodus comes to mind. Not since WWII have such a large surge of refugees fleeing civil war and conflict, been moving through the gates of Europe and most especially towards Germany. While European Union governments are genuinely overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis, there’s a growing helplessness about how to offer the refugees humanitarian aid, and the bigger issue of granting political asylum, namely the right to legally settle. The majority of those fleeing Syria’s chaos wish to go to prosperous Germany. Germany’s Christian Democratic coalition government welcomes them on humanitarian grounds and ex-

pects to receive about 800,000 refugees this year, a staggeringly large number. While accepting the majority of the migrants, Chancellor Angela Merkel has stressed the need for burden sharing among other European states. While European Union leaders point fingers, play a blame game among themselves, and rationalize why there’s no room in their countries for Syria’s broken families at the end of a long and dangerous trek from the war torn Middle East, there’s an obvious answer few have dare spoken of. Why not resettle them in the oil rich Arab states? It’s not that the Arabs have done nothing to help their cousins; the Kingdom of Jordan and Lebanon have been on the forefront of resettlement efforts since the Syrian conflict boiled over four years ago, Jordan hosts 620,000, Lebanon 1 million, and neighboring non-Arab Turkey almost 2 million. The bitter fruits of the so called Arab-Spring? No, I’m not talking about these countries. They have earned regional and worldwide respect. See Metzler on 27

Inclusion are appropriate ones for discussion on a university campus,” he pointed out, trying hard to divert attention from the fact that his diversity czar’s email to faculty looked prescriptive. The guide, written by Donna Braquet, head of the university’s Pride Center, included this “suggestion”: “In the first weeks of class, instead of calling roll, ask everyone to provide their name

and pro-nouns. This ensures that you are not singling out transgender or non-binary students.” Braquet offered this helpful conversation starter: “Oh, nice to meet you [insert name]. What pronouns should I use?” File that under “Sentences I will never utter in a social setting.” I can only hope this inclusivegrammar contagion doesn’t See gorrell on 26

The Past And Future Of The Refugee Crisis The refugee crisis in Europe is one of those human tragedies for which there are no real solutions, despite how many shrill by Thomas Sowell voices in the media may Syndicated Columnist denounce those who fail to come up with a solution. Some options may be better than others, but there is nothing that can honestly be called a solution. Nevertheless many countries, including the United States, could do a lot better. The immediate problems are the masses of desperate men, women and children, fleeing from the wars and terrorism of the Middle East, who are flooding into Europe. But the present crisis cannot be dealt with as if it had no past and no future. The future is in fact one of the biggest constraints on what can be done in the present. Anyone with a sense of decency and humanity would want to help those who have been through harrowing experiences and have arrived, exhausted and desperate, on the shores of Europe. But the story will not end there, if they do. With refugees, as with all other human beings, the current generation will pass from the scene. Those who may be grateful to have found a refuge from the horrors of the Middle East will have a new generation of children in Europe, or in any other place of

refuge, who will have no memory of the Middle East. All the new generation will know is that they are not doing as well as other people in the country where they live. They will also know that the values of their culture clash with the values of the Western culture around them. And there will be no lack of “leaders” to tell them that they have been wronged, including some who will urge them to jihad. Europeans have already seen this scenario play out in their midst, creating strife and even terrorism. Most of the Muslims may be peaceful people who are willing to live and let live. But it takes only a fraction who are not to create havoc. No nation has an unlimited capacity to absorb immigrants of any sort, and especially immigrants whose cultures are not simply different, but antagonistic, to the values of the society in which they settle. The inescapable reality is that it is an irreversible decision to admit a foreign population of any sort -- but especially a foreign population that has a track record of remaining foreign. The past, as well as the future, casts its shadow over the current refugee crisis. It may be no accident that President Obama is up in Alaska, talking about changing the name of Mount McKinley, while this massive human tragedy is unfolding in the Middle East and in Europe. Barack Obama’s decision to pull American troops out of Iraq, See Sowell on 26

Where’s The Beef? by Steve White Contributing Writer

When people think about feeding backyard birds, the first thought is usually bird seed and water. These two ingredients are essential for attracting wild birds to your area, no matter where you may reside. However, another attractive food element that should be included in your offerings, especially during the winter months, is suet. There are many choices available in the suet marketplace for your backyard bird feeding needs. Plain, inexpensive beef suet can be found at your local supermarket or butcher shop. This is pure, unprocessed suet without any fillers or treats, such as peanuts, fruit or birdseed that you can purchase in prepackaged blocks. If squirrels raiding your suet feeders are a concern, then pure beef suet is your solution. Animals are attracted to suet due to the treats mixed in with commercially processed suet. Birds are attracted to the high calorie and fat content that all suet provides. You can also find pure beef suet in standard, square cakes at your local wild bird store if butcher shops are not located in your town. Rendered beef suet that you find on store shelves consists of wrapped cakes that are combined with fruits, nuts and birdseed for a wide variety of choices. Generally speaking, woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and titmice prefer peanut butter or peanut based suet cakes. The very high fat content

these products offer is very appealing all year round. During spring and summer you can offer fruit based suet for your migratory birds. For instant, orange suet is the right choice to maintain an oriole presence in your backyard. The warm months may pose a concern for some regarding the offering of suet products. Pure beef suet sold in supermarkets should not be offered when outside temperatures reach 70 degrees or higher. The risk of spoilage is high and birds will ignore your offerings. Commercially processed suet is available in no-melt formulas that are manufactured not to drip or melt in high temperatures. Many customers believe that you should not offer suet in summer due to the risk of spoilage and lack of attractiveness to wild birds. The daily fat intake for your backyard birds should not be ignored by any serious backyard birder. You will attract more wild birds in the warm seasons if the right suet is available with your feeding stations. Mockingbirds, warblers, orioles, robins and catbirds are just some of the different species you can bring to your area with suet offerings. The suet feeder choices

Come lore... The & exp

are just as plentiful as the suet cakes themselves. Wire baskets, mesh bags and suet logs can be used to dispense suet. Wire cages or baskets come in all sizes and shapes. You can recycle mesh onion bags to hold suet. Logs with correctly sized holes are an excellent way to offer suet in a more natural way. No matter what method you choose, consider suet to be as important an ingredient as bird seed when you wish to attract birds to your home. Choosing the right suet for your backyard is just as essential as the correct bird seed mix. It is possible to serve suet all year and enjoy this wonderful hobby to the maximum. Have fun with your birds. Wild Bird Depot is located on Rt 11 in Gilford, NH.

Republicans seldom listen to anyone, you know, the Establishment Elite types who do know so much more than us peons. Considering the election of 2016 is really not that far off, the “GOP” should give much thought of how to convince voters the Ayotte/McConnell/McCain/Boehner party will not be getting a whole lot of support! See opening sentence. You told us if we, the American voters, gave the GOP in D.C. the numbers in the Senate and Congress you would change the direction of the Obama agenda. That is about as credible as O promising the “most transparent administration ever”. Can’t you hear the republicans in D.C. making the point that “well, they lied too!” ******** American Family Association- In a clear case of

religious discrimination, Office Depot has refused to print 500 copies of a flyer that contains a prayer to end abortion at the hands of Planned Parenthood. Chicago resident Maria Goldstein wanted to make a few hundred copies for her parish and went to her local Office Depot store where her request for service was rebuffed. “Bring an end to the killing of children in the womb, And bring an end to the sale of their body parts. Bring conversion to all who do this and enlightenment to all who advocate it. Will Office Depot be fined and a chance to be put out of business and threatened with the possibility of being thrown in jail? In my unpopular humble opinion, I want Office Depot to maintain their right to associate just as I want the young couple who lost their bakery business for being signaled out to be forced into baking a cake for a Gay wedding, or the motel owners who did not want to provide a “honeymoon suite” to a Gay couple and the florist who would lose her business over this issue that business people have the right to deny service. Now where is our battle to help ALL folks with religious beliefs be allowed to set their rules. This is still America, isn’t it? ******** AMENDMENT I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for

Who is with me on this statement? ******** Email from TeaParty. org: “But my friends-and this is one of the most important messages I’ve ever delivered--we have a problem that’s even bigger than Obama. Lurking in the shadows is an even greater threat to liberty. That’s because this fraud appears as a friend. “I’m talking about Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader, establishment Republican and arch-enabler of Obama’s anti-freedom designs. “We’re sick of this phony--and we’re demanding his dismissal.” This why we must work to reduce the term for a U S Senator from 6 to 4 years!

outfits worn by United State Marines! Sports Quiz Whose uniform number was the first to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;retiredâ&#x20AC;? by a pro sports team? (Answer follows) Born Today ... That is to say, sports standouts born on Sept. 17 include NBA player, coach, and executive Phil Jackson (1945) and NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson (1975).

The San Diego Padre uniforms of the 70s were one of the ugliest. MOFFETT from 5

Perhaps thinking of the disastrous Buccaneer and Padre experiences, the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Jose Sharks did extensive polling and market research before they decided on their appealing black and teal color scheme. The Sharks made millions of dollars selling these jerseys before they ever played a hockey game. So who were the top

picks in the NFL rankings? Oakland, Buffalo, and New Orleans finished 1-2-3. I strongly disagree, but the list was a subjective rating designed to get attentionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;kind of like those white Laker jerseys. And it worked, as demonstrated by the column youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading. But most of us already know what the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best looking uniforms really areâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the dress blue

of observation. When America entered World War II, thirty-six year-old Charlie was inducted back into the army and he served primarily in the South Pacific. It was during his free time that he would sketch scenes that interested him, mostly everyday life of the G.I. Done on paper that was usually 12â&#x20AC;?x18â&#x20AC;? he would then complete the scenes and add expanded written comments back in the barracks. He also used a camera on occasion to capture details. (Some of the watercolor portions were completed in the years following his return from the war.) Charlie estimated he had done about seven hundred paintings during World War II. He never sold any of his works and frequently gave away some to fellow servicemen. After the war Charlie returned to Nashua and worked as a custodian for the most of the rest of his life. He never married and was a quiet, yet familiar figure in Nashuaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Railroad Square neighborSee miller on 21

hood. Not always earning enough to pay for rent, he would sometimes stay with his sister, Anna. He spent all of his free time working on his paintings and drawings, working four to five hours a day six days a week but never on Sunday. Charlie kept his sketches stored in brown paper bags in his room. Bob Dennis says that the collection was rarely seen, even by family members. Fearing that the art works might go missing from the boarding house, Charlie eventually gave his art to his sister Anna Clemons for safekeeping in her home. In 1987, Anna contacted the Currier Art Gallery in Manchester, New Hampshire about her brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war time sketches. The Currier exhibited 21 of his works in an exhibit called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Memories of the South Pacificâ&#x20AC;?. Charlie seemed pleased that people liked his work, but continued

to downplay his talent as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;artistâ&#x20AC;?. Charles J. Miller died on February 15, 1994, at the age of eighty-eight, never realizing just how talented he really was. The Wright Museum became curators of Charlie Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works about a year and a half ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His family has been vigilant in taking care of them,â&#x20AC;? said Culver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first saw them I fell in love with them. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to just show this wonderful work but we wanted to get them framed and matted and in good shape.â&#x20AC;? To date, the Wright Museum, together with James and Jonie Clemons and the Donald Jones family have made it possible to mat and frame eighty-three pictures that will be in the exhibit, with all the framing done by the Art Place in Wolfeboro. It is hoped the remaining works will be done as resources permit. See miller on 22

It took three months for about a dozen Wright Museum docents to catalog and number nearly five hundred of the paintings. The eighty-three pieces that will be part of the exhibit were chosen as to best represent the chronological order of the events depicted from Miller’s arrival at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1942 to his training in Hawaii and later deployment to the Marshall Islands and back home after the war was over. “There are some battle scenes in these sketches, but most of them depict the normal day to day that G.I.s lived while waiting,” said Culver.

workshop in Rochester is designed to give participants an understanding of the critical role of facilitators, specifically oriented toward facilitating for public engagement. We spend time locating the work in local and statewide projects, walking through a typical â&#x20AC;&#x153;talk to actionâ&#x20AC;? process, and emphasizing the principles that guide our work. By completing this training session, you will be eligible to work with us and will be a part of our statewide facilitator network. The $40 fee may be waived for students and those with financial need.â&#x20AC;? Wow. They even expect you to PAY for becoming a â&#x20AC;&#x153;facilitatorâ&#x20AC;?. What a deal. Then, there is the new variation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Facilitation Laboratoryâ&#x20AC;?: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please join us to experiment with the power of interactive practice in sticky facilitation moments. Even after years of experience in community facilitation or public meetings, a tough participant can still make a seasoned facilitatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart race. We will work with UNH Theatre profes-

sor David Kaye and his group, PowerPlay Interactive Development, to gain new insights, techniques, and skills. Join us as we dig into those heartracing moments. The $25 fee may be waived for students and those with financial need. Just let us know!â&#x20AC;? YIKES! Just to be clear, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sticky facilitation momentâ&#x20AC;? is when citizens show up to these pre-cast NH Listen sessions and dissent from the already decided upon conclusions of the posed â&#x20AC;&#x153;discussionsâ&#x20AC;?. When â&#x20AC;&#x153;sticky facilitation momentsâ&#x20AC;? occur, certain â&#x20AC;&#x153;tacticsâ&#x20AC;? are employed to shut down dissent - without the citizens present even being aware of it happening. How Americanâ&#x20AC;Ś Do not be fooled, folks. When NH Listens comes to town, run the other way. Or, if you do decide you want to join a session, just know what the real game is all about. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow them to silence you, marginalize you, or belittle you. Hold your ground. And remember, whatever NH Listens claims it is about, it is definitely NOT about listening!

like Saudi Arabia. But the West, including the United States, could at least send more financial aid to Middle Eastern countries like Jordan and Egypt, to ease the burden of the refugees they have already taken in. Sending money to Middle Eastern countries that are taking in Muslim refugees makes a lot more sense for the West than taking in more refugees themselves. It may even encounter far less political opposition at home. But a real attempt to deal with the underlying causes of this human tragedy will probably have to wait until Barack Obama is gone from the White House.

spread beyond college campuses. Keeping with tradition, wielders of the inclusiveness cudgel struck at opponents rather than addressing issues they prefer to consider settled. Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, defended the policy. “There is a growing trend in the United States, especially in colleges and universities, for some people to use and prefer nontraditional pronouns.” She continued, “…that [Republicans in] the legislature would even weigh in on this pronoun issue, let alone demand to micromanage it, should be as embarrassing for them as it is troubling for the really good people of Tennessee. The students must have known for some time that their legislature is willfully and proudly ignorant of difference and change…” Those darned Republican legislators, weighing in on an issue that brought international attention and ridicule to their publicly-funded university system. Call me “willfully and proudly ignorant,” but I’m a bit of a grammar purist. I still bristle when I see “they” used to refer to a singular noun, as in “If your child is thinking about getting a good education, they might not want to consider UT Knoxville.” I will never use creations like “xe” or “zirs.” Language evolves, but how it should change, and why, matter. Diversity cheerleaders insist that change must come now, students must be in the vanguard, and the reason, according to Braquet, is that it “…alleviates the heavy burden for persons already marginalized by their gender expression or identity.” Never mind that universities should be preparing students for life in the real world (imagine a job interview where the recent college grad sprinkles her sentences liberally with xe, zirs, and xyr). Forcing the majority to bend language based on the feelings of every

aggrieved minority faction is a prescription for chaos. A common language helps to bind us into a cohesive polity. Turn it into a free-for-all and we will break apart, balkanized despite a “common” language. The story of the tower of Babel in the Book of Genesis is used to explain our multiplicity of languages. God divided humans into linguistic groups, spreading the descendants of Noah across the face of the Earth. Today’s Progressives seem intent on playing gods from academe’s ivory tower, dividing and controlling us using politicallycorrect language codes, made-up words, and “diversity” dogma. Of course with Progressive types, sensitivity and inclusion go only so far. New Hampshire made national news last week when a women’s “alternative chorus” replaced “Jesus” with “Hillary” in a gospel song at a campaign event. Their alternative to good taste and respect for the deeply-held religious convictions of Christians reveals much about the inclusiveness movement: Its real goal is to exclude dissenting views. The siege of the First Amendment continues. Ken can be reached at kengorrell@gmail.com --

Something like every fourth person in Lebanon is a refugee. I refer to the rich Arab states such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the Emirates, who have the resources and the room to house their fellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arab Brothersâ&#x20AC;? from Syria and Iraq. To state the obvious, in such Arab Kingdoms, the refugees would largely share the same culture, speak the same language, and worship the same Islamic religion. These Arab states would find new workers who would be happy to have a safe home. But are they being welcomed? No. While Christian Arabs from Syria and Iraq would not be welcome in Saudi Arabia, those smaller migrant numbers could be more easily processed for European resettlement. No doubt many of the Arab petrodollar states will be shamed into offering dollops of cash in solidarity with their â&#x20AC;&#x153;brothers seeking asylum.â&#x20AC;? But shall Saudi Arabia or Kuwait have the heart to accept some of these migrants from the swelling camps in Jordan and Lebanon? Hungaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government has been scorned for its inept but understandable reactions; hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small post-Soviet country of ten million people being flooded by a migrant tsunami being channeled through Serbia. The thousands of refugees in Budapest milling round the Keleti Train Station waiting for trains to Austria and beyond to Germany need to be processed properly. Given that Hungary is a sovereign country, it has the right to screen and identify these migrants before they surge then passport free through the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borderless states. Security, safety and sanity argue in favor knowing WHO is coming into Hungary and then having free access throughout Europe which the Schengen Agreements allows for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first and most important task is to gain control over the outer border of the European

Union,â&#x20AC;? Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto stated. Indeed many of these downtrodden are the victims of human traffickers. Others could be jihadi sleeper cell terrorists slipped in with the tragic mass of humanity. Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chancellor Merkel described the crisis as not just a, â&#x20AC;&#x153;challenge at the national level, but for the EU as a whole.â&#x20AC;? The Berlin government has pledged $6.7 billion for migrant aid. Stephen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, the UNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new humanitarian coordinator stated that since the conflict began, over 250,000 Syrians have been killed, 7.6 million have been displaced inside their country, and over four million have fled across borders. Over one million have fled Syria this year alone! As the Syrian crisis progresses, the United Nations and the world community are doing a reasonably good job of treating the humanitarian symptoms of the conflict, but a woefully inadequate task in solving Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political problems. As this column has endlessly stated, nearly one half of ALL Syrians are either internally displaced or refugees from their homeland! Is the world comfortable with this? John J.

carbon footprint-enlarging jaunt to Milan! Elitist liberal working mothers expend an astounding amount of energy letting everyone know how hard they toil, how much â&#x20AC;&#x153;sacrificeâ&#x20AC;? theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made, and how unhappy they are if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not working outside the home earning â&#x20AC;&#x153;respectâ&#x20AC;? from other elitist liberal working mothers. Meanwhile, moms like Candy Carson operate in a no-whine zone. It is a blessing to have so many opportunities and choices. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to waste. In addition to raising the Carson children, cofounding the Carson Scholars Fund charity (which has awarded nearly 7,000 scholarships across the country to academically gifted students of all backgrounds who give back to their communities), and serving as sounding board and co-author of three of the Carsonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; New York Times bestsellers, Mrs. Carson worked in trust administration, insurance and real estate. She also found time to earn a masters degree in business from Johns Hopkins and conduct the University of Maryland Medical Center Chamber Players. Like the Obamas, the Carsons have experienced their share of racial discrimination and prejudice. But it does not define them. Neither have they let their phenomenal success get to their heads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did I ever imagine I would live in a place like this?â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Carson reflected in an interview at her elegant home with Baltimore Magazine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course not. Growing up poor, you try to be a good steward of the money you have.â&#x20AC;? What a refreshing change from the arrogant profligacy that has marked the past two presidential terms in Washington. The most common refrain youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear from people who meet the couple is how humble and gracious they are. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made sure to instill the values of thrift, personal responsibility and private philanthropy in their children. Both Carsons emphasized in our visit their

profound concern for their grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, the abandonment of constitutional principles, and the fiscal cliff that young generations of Americans now face. Attitude is everything. The narcissism and nihilism of the Beltway stand in stark contrast to the faith of the Carsons in God, their country and each other. However their political adventure turns out, they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;ready to follow ...

whatever He has in store for us next,â&#x20AC;? Mrs. Carson writes. Keep smiling, work hard, be grateful, and play on. This is what makes America great. Michelle Malkin is author of the new book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs.â&#x20AC;? Her email address is malkinblog@gmail.com.

wicked brew from 9

With a generous and malty mouthfeel, you will taste all of the previous flavors but also tartness from bittering hops which lasts throughout the experience. Gorgeous golden yellow is the color of perfection in this prize. Not cloudy by any measure, citrus and fruit embrace you with flavor and mystifying complexity. Balance between maltiness and hops sees malt as the winner, but since this is an double IPA, that is to be expected in the character style. Overall, this beer serves as a reminder of what more courageous beer drinkers long for... flavor and lots of it. Chase this beer down and enjoy it. You will begin to understand what real craft brewing is about right here! With the many other of-

The Wright Museum is closing the season with a special exhibit displaying the seldom-seen sketches by self-taught artist Charles Miller. These works provide an unfiltered look at the everyday life of G.I.s who fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Because Miller also wrote descriptions of what he portrayed on most of his sketches, his works are historical documents as well as art. The eighty-three sketches in the exhibit represent a fraction of the 700 works Miller created during his time in the Pacific.
