Hiking Companions Tackle NH’s 4,000-Footers Together
The Last Two Peaks: Kinsman Mountain South & North by Amy Patenaude Outdoor/Ski Columnist
Seven years ago I can easily recall how this all started. My golfing gal friends, Sharon and Sarah thought it would be fun to hike with me. We did a hike together in the Belknap Mountains over Piper, Whiteface and Swett. They seemed to like climb-
ing up and over rocks and they kept on hiking with me. We dropped Sharon’s car off at the Mount Kinsman Trailhead in Easton and then we drove a few minutes further south on Route 116 before taking a left up the Reel Brook Road to reach the Trailhead. This wasn’t the easiest way to hike South and
North Kinsman but I assured them it was the most beautiful route and the extra miles of hiking would be well worth it. We shouldered our packs and headed up the trail. The trail follows old logging roads through the forest as it gradually climbs up to the Kinsman Ridge Trail. The trail adopter has taken See patenaude on 37
Local historians and former Woodman Museum trustees, Mark Leno, Jr. and Thom Hindle have come together to publish a new book on Dover’s deadliest mill fire. “Factory on Fire” is the true story of Cocheco Mill No 1 blaze of 1907 that resulted in the deaths of seven and injured many more in a 58 hour fire which began on an extremely cold, twenty five below zero morning on January 26. Based on years of research, using first person accounts of those who were in the fire and over 50 photographs reproduced from the original 100 year old glass plate negatives, the story of the fire, the mill workers, the heroic rescues from smoke filled windows, firemen battling the extreme weather, and a court trial is brought to life. Signed copies of the 180 page book will be available for $20.00 on Friday October 6, in the mill during the Dover Art Walk from 4-8pm. And at Dover’s Apple Harvest Day Event
Saturday October 7th at the Woodman Museum booth on Central Avenue. Mark and Thom will be available at both events. Copies will also be available at the Woodman Museum gift shop at 182 Central Avenue during regular museum hours. Further information is available by contacting Thom at thom@imagesofthepastgallery.com

THE ROMAN COLISEUM My “to see� list during a recent trip to Italy was lengthy, but at its top was the Roman Coliseum. What’s left of this legendary edifice is just east of the remains of the ancient Roman Forum. It was the world’s first sports stadium, capable of holding over 60,000 spectators. It remains an extraordinary example of ancient engineering—one that was not rivaled for many centuries. Largely built of a unique Roman concrete, its construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor Titus. Further modifications were made during the reigns of subsequent emperors. The Coliseum is best re-

With the fall of Rome, the Coliseum was pillaged of its fine marble along with anything else of value. An

earthquake toppled much of the south structure, but what remains still inspires awe. And for anyone with any imagination, a walk inside the Coliseum also inspires thoughts of horrible carnage and gore. The ancient Romans were clearly bloodthirsty and many were also depraved. Stadium managers organized all manner of bloody confrontations for their entertainment.

*A FLATLANDER’S OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE
Staying Fit

Once I was using a chest machine for two weeks and had the seat level on 3. I was told by an instructor that it should be on level 2. It was clear that my chest wasn’t getting any bigger. I failed to notice, until it was too late, that my right shoulder was now big enough to play a game of Chess on. Once, I mistakenly went into the free weight room. Guys the size of Mount Washington, wearing large leather belts, were lifting Mini-Cooper sized weights over their heads with one hand. All eyes turned towards me. In order to keep my pride, I went to the largest dumbbell and lifted it over my head without thinking. After I put it down I got a big thumbs up from the Mount Washingtons and then quietly left. My arm and neck were sore for two weeks. I never dared cross into the free weight room again. I occasionally used the sauna at the gym. It seemed like a real benefit since it was something I couldn’t do at home. After a few months of spending ten minutes in a room with a lot of hot, sweaty, naked guys, the benefit of it suddenly eluded me. At fifty-seven, I am happy with just the treadmill and so is my doctor. It is because of his insistence that I sometimes force myself to get on the thing. Still, once I am done with a workout I feel great and glad I did it. The doctor has also told me I shouldn’t get crazy trying to lift heavy things so I guess I’m stuck with the treadmill since I’d never be able to get it out onto the lawn for a yard sale.

As I reach the winter of my fifty-seventh year, I admit that I don’t have the “get up and go� that I had when I was seventeen. In fact, I don’t have the get up and go I had when I was forty-seven. For a lot of men my age “get up and go� is something they have to deal with a few times in the middle of the night. I think that too much “get up and go� at the wrong time leads to not enough actual “get up and go� when it is really needed. It is important as you age that you try and keep up some sort of exercise regime. Getting exercise and moving around is more important as we get older. (Those nighttime “get up and go� sessions don’t count for real exercise.) Through my own life I have always been aware of the need to exercise. That doesn’t mean I’ve always done it, it just means I have been aware of the need. Recently we purchased a treadmill and put it in the basement. Legend has it that people buy treadmills with the best intentions but soon lose interest. This can be verified by going to any yard sale. At nine out of ten yard sales you
will see a used treadmill or some other expensive piece of exercise equipment for sale. It is easy to negotiate a price with the owners, who are usually at the yard sale eating doughnuts. They will do anything to get rid of the beast so as not have to drag it back into the house again. In fact, getting the thing out of the house and onto the lawn in the first place is usually the most exercise they have gotten with the machine in the last few years. Up to this point, we have made good use of the treadmill. If we are not walking or running on it, we occasionally use the handles to hang wet clothes that are not meant for the dryer. It has been almost a year since we bought the treadmill and we use it a good four or five times a week, not including the drying of clothes part. I do enjoy it more than when I used to belong to a gym. Buying a gym membership is similar to buying an exercise machine. It is usually done with the best of intentions but, after a few tries, other things get in the way. Like the new season of “American Idol�. Unfortunately you cannot get rid of a gym membership at a yard sale. I was never much of a weights guy at the gym, but I would occasionally drift into the Nautilus Room. This is where you could, using odd looking machines, tone up parts of your body you didn’t know you could tone up. “Man, look at the muscles on that guy’s index finger.� “Ears are looking good, Joe!� The Nautilus machines can be stressful. If you don’t adjust them properly, all is for naught.

NFL Pigskins At the Public Trough I’m calling foul on all the leftists rushing to protect the NFL’s protest crusaders from President Donald Trump’s criticism of their by Michelle Malkin national anSyndicated Columnist them antics. Their shabby line of defense? The NFL is a “private enterprise” whose “rights” are being violated by those who dare to challenge the league’s political radicalization. The anti-Trump Democratic Coalition has even filed an ethics complaint alleging that the president’s comments constitute a criminal violation against using government offices “to influence the employment decisions and practices” of a private entity. Funny. These fair-weather friends of corporate free speech and the First Amendment were nowhere to be found when Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel were vowing to shut down Chick-Fil-A in their towns as government retaliation against the founders’ private religious beliefs. As for the NFL’s status as a “private” enterprise? That’s some Super Bowl-sized audacity right there. I first started tracking publicly subsidized sports boondoggles with my very first watchdog website, Porkwatch, back in 1999. Since then, taxpayers at all levels of government have foot the bill for football stadiums to the tune of an estimated $1 billion every year. Over the past decade, new taxsupported NFL stadiums rose up for the Indianapolis Colts (the $720 million Lucas Oil Stadium),
the Dallas Cowboys (the $1.15 billion AT&T Stadium) the New York Jets and Giants (the $1.6 billion MetLife Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings (the $1.1 billion U.S. Bank Stadium), the Atlanta Falcons (the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium), and the San Francisco 49ers (the $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara). Next in the works: a whopping $2.6 billion stadium for the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams and a $1.9 billion stadium for the Oakland Raiders when they move to Las Vegas. Left behind? An $83 million taxpayer debt on twodecade-old renovations to the Alameda County Coliseum that the Raiders are abandoning. Both political parties have supported massive redistribution of taxes from working people to the gridiron’s spoiled 1-percenters. Public-private sports palace boosters employ the same bogus economic development math as the federal government’s infamous Solyndra green energy loans, stimulus rip-offs and jobs programs. Citizens are promised an enormous multiplier of jobs and benefits in return for their “investments.” But instead they’ve been saddled with a field of schemes. Sports economists have concluded repeatedly that the effects of stadium subsidies on employment and economic activity are negligible -- or even negative. Scott Wolla of the St. Louis Federal Reserve reported earlier this year, “In a 2017 poll, 83 percent of the economists surveyed agreed that ‘Providing state and local subsidies to build stadiums for professional sports teams is likely to cost the relevant taxpayers more than any local economic
‘Sovereignty’ Is Not a Dirty Word
To listen to the commentary, Donald Trump used an inappropriate term at the U.N. -- not just “Rocket Man,” by Rich Lowry but “sovereignContributing Writer ty.” It wasn’t surprising that liberal analysts freaked out over his nickname for Kim Jong Un and his warning that we’d “totally destroy” Kim’s country should it become necessary. These lines were calculated to get a reaction, and they did. More interesting was the allergy to Trump’s defense of sovereign nations. Brian Williams of MSNBC wondered whether the repeated use of the word “sovereignty” was a “dog whistle.” CNN’s Jim Sciutto called it “a loaded term” and “a favorite expression of authoritarian leaders.” In an otherwise illuminating See malkin on 41 piece in The Atlantic, Peter Bei-
nart concluded that Trump’s address amounted to “imperialism.” If so, couched in the rhetoric of the mutual respect of nations, it’s the best-disguised imperialist manifesto in history. Trump’s critics misrepresent the speech and misunderstand the nationalist vision that Trump was setting out. He didn’t defend a valueless international relativism. Trump warned that “authoritarian powers seek to collapse the values, the systems, and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world toward freedom since World War II.” He praised the U.S. Constitution as “the foundation of peace, prosperity and freedom for the Americans and for countless millions around the globe.” “The Marshall Plan,” he said, “was built on the noble idea that the whole world is safer when nations are strong, independent and free.” There’s no doubt that there’s

Cleaning House Philosophers and theologians have debated for millennia what happens to us when we die. I am suby Ken Gorrell premely unNorthfield, NH. qualified to contribute to their search for the material or spiritual truth. But six months after being named executor of a relative’s estate, I know a lot about what happens to our possessions when we die. The liquidation process has taken longer than it would have had my second-cousin-once-removed filed a proper will, or if our genealogical connection had been better documented. In addition to being named executor, I was his closest living relative. But when the court demanded proof, I had to spend months searching our extended family tree, shaking the branches to make sure no long-lost relation fell out. In the meantime, my wife and I had to sort out the finances and the contents of the household. Not surprisingly, creditors were more willing than the court to accept me as a responsible party in dealing with the estate, despite the fact that I had no access to the accounts. They’ll get theirs, in due course. The household goods, now shorn of whatever emotional worth they
once had to the deceased or might have to the family or friends left behind, revert back to their practical, utilitarian state. Their value is now entirely in the eyes of people looking for a good deal on used stuff. That’s not always easy to accept, especially since my cousin had been living in his childhood home. He had kept a lot of his parents personal items. His mother had been a homemaker and bookkeeper; his father an engineer with Westinghouse. Her oil paintings adorned some walls while others sat in a closet. She had been a talented amateur. Her art will find new homes in the estate sale. His father’s patent book, awards, and memorabilia from an interesting life that included work on Gemini and Apollo are now nothing but momentary curiosities on their way to the trash bin. So, too, the photo albums, including pictures of their 1955 family vacation to Niagara Falls. After remarking on how well-dressed the vacationers were, into the bin they went. His parent’s wedding photo, in the typical 1940’s style that made them look like movie stars, was harder to throw away. But the death of their 65-year-old son was the end of their line. The frame was worth something, but the memories it once contained meant nothing to any living soul. My wife and I spent four melancholy weekends sorting the memory items from the items
of marketable value. We did set aside a few personal mementos, tangible bits to help us keep their memories fresh in our minds. Neighbors stopped by to offer con-
dolences and share their own remembrances, which helped make the whole process less wearying. But once the sorting was done,

Syria Sidelined In UN Assembly Session UNITED NATIONS - Perhaps
it’s the dangerous global threat from North Korean nukes. Maybe it’s political fatigue and criby John J. Metzler sis overload. Or it could be Syndicated Columnist the escalating ethnic cleansing in Burma. But the long running and brutal Syrian civil war has become largely an afterthought for many delegates at the current UN Assembly session. Last year Syria’s sanguinary headlines and gripping humanitarian saga still dominated UN discussions. Nonetheless a deadlocked Security Council with Western countries, the USA, Britain and France facing off China and Russia seemed to set the conflict in stone, and allow it to slip into near oblivion with new disasters in Yemen and Burma/ Myanmar taking the limelight. Yet, Syria’s political calculus and dynamic has changed. American and coalition forces are soundly defeating the barbarous Islamic State (ISIS) while Russia’s military intervention has truly tipped the military balance away from the terrorists and back towards the Assad regime in Damascus. After six years of civil conflict, more than 500,000 killed, and millions of Syrians civilians internally displaced or having fled as refugees, there could finally be an endgame. But the word victory presents an illusion. The good news is that diplomats have brokered six major “de-confliction zones” inside the country. Unofficial ceasefires if you will. Staffan de Mistura, the UN Special Envoy for Syria, told the
Security Council that, “The situation remains fragile and highly susceptible to backsliding.” He adds that while “ISIL is being beaten back” and that Government (namely Assad) forces have broken some rebel sieges, conflict continues. “As terrorism is being defeated in Syria, we need to preserve those gains on the ground and sustain them through a real and inclusive political process,” stressed de Mistura. The eighth in a series of political talks in Geneva are planned for late October. He stressed, “No one is asking the opposition to suddenly stop being an opposition,” but he urged unity among the maze of groups opposing the central government. Mark Lowcock, the UN’s Humanitarian Chief, while praising the overall military “de-escalation” in the conflict, nonetheless stressed the ongoing sieges of Syrian towns by both the government and the opposition. While the Syrian military finally broke the siege of Deir ez-Zor town liberating 93,000 citizens, the fact remains that “419,920 people most of them, according to UNICEF, children, now remain besieged in 10 locations across Syria. Of these, 95 percent are besieged by the Government of Syria,” he recounted. In other words, medieval style sieges of towns reducing the inhabitants to starvation, squalor and sickness continue to plague Syria. Lowcock conceded, “The Syrian people remain trapped in a cycle of violence that must be broken.” U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley stated, “Although there has been some lessening of the violence in Syria, this is no time to become complacent.

It happens quite often at New Hampshire Humane Society; surrender of animals due to their, or their owners advancing years and ill health. In the case of Miss Suzy, she is hardly a geriatric, she is not even in the double digits yet, age-wise, but her owner was suffering serious health problems and could no longer care for this sweet little black cat.

Suzy led the quiet life prior to arriving at the shelter in April, yes she’s been waiting far too long for a new home. That sheltered former life has meant residing at our animal welfare agency has been a bit of a shock to the system for such a reserved, quiet little feline, Suzy hides under her blanket, perhaps thinking the next time she pops her head up, she might find herself home again. Six months really is too long to live in hope, and have your dreams dashed every day, as the adopting public move on past your cage to other, more photogenic cats! Let not the syndrome of her coat colour stand in her way a moment longer, black cats are special, they are physiologically sound, look amazing lounging in summy spots around the house. Neither do we wish to compartmentalize the ideal home for her, surely a cat lover out there somewhere will look at Suzy;s petite face and fall in love. Shelter is open Tuesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Plenty of time to visit . Call 524-3252 to find out more about Suzy or check www.nhhumane.org ǁǁǁ͘ŶŚŚƵŵĂŶĞ͘ŽƌŐ

around what already exists. Perhaps that’s why capitalist invented planned obsolescence and the fashion industry spends millions convincing some people that they need to be trendy. Aside from some tools, lawn and garden equipment, and a few collectibles, I see little of value in this 1950s cape. But virtually everything here will find a new home in the auction, even the notquite-mid-century-modern furniture that spent the last five decades in the hermetically-sealed formal living room. The alchemy of the online auction will turn lead into gold. The house itself will be seen by someone as the perfect place to live, and perhaps raise a family. It had first sheltered a young family of four, and in the end protected the last member of that family until the paramedics arrived. Soon, a new chapter will begin, and the house will again be a home. Old memories will be replaced by new hopes and dreams. Even in our inanimate objects there is a circle of life.

Our Story
This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.
Locally owned for over 20 years, this publication is devoted to printing the stories of the people and places that make New Hampshire the best place in the world to live. No, none of the daily grind news will be found in these pages, just the good stuff. Published year round on Thursdays, we distribute 32,000 copies of the Weirs Times and Cocheco Times weekly to the Lakes Region/Concord/Seacoast area. An independent circulation audit estimates that over 66,000 people read our newspaper every week.

To many, there is sense of calm to be found in the order of a weed-free, manicured lawn, patio, drive and the breath-taking beauty of a flower garden in full bloom. However, the term ‘breath-taking’ might not only be figurative, but literal as well. This is because the means to maintain such a neat ‘Garden of Eden’ often requires not just hard work but also, I recently discovered, measures not unlike war. In fact, some of the herbicides we have been enticed to use in our battle against unwanted invading plants, contain chemical ingredients that were used during World War II and the Vietnam war. These include toxic contaminants and other organic compounds found in Agent Orange (2,4,5-T/D and dioxin). Apparently, they have been sold in various formulations since 1945, under numerous brand names, for a range home and farm weed control scenarios. Kinda scary. So, one might conclude, that in the interest of environment and human health and harmony we must surrender to the invading green species. But, must we really become hostages to hideous masses of unwanted foliage threatening our order and serenity? If not, then how can we win the yearly and seasonal battles to maintain weed-free, tidy flower beds and lush green lawns without the assistance of these nefarious chemicals? Well, actually, there are numerous organic and environmentally-friendly solutions either for sale or easily concocted from typi-

cal household items such as bleach, vinegar and salt, etc… Many landscaping companies seem to be proponents of suffocation. Every spring, the companies dump thick piles of mulch in gardens; apparently, in hopes that no weeds will have the strength to push up through the mounds of heavy wood debris. Unfortunately, this is truer of some of the more delicate perennial flowers, while
stubborn weeds still manage to prevail- popping-up to resume their invasion. From personal experience, I know that kids and dogs are probably the most effective means of ridding a yard of most plant life. Another solution, from our eco-conscience European cousins- the Belgians- involves fire. Though I am not sure why this method is considered

Kapitol Kolsch
Concord Craft Brewing
John Getty (603) 707-0293
Concord, NH concordcraftbrewing.com
by Jim MacMillan Contributing Writer
October in the beer world is an important time of year. Octoberfest beers become the tap favorites and all kinds of so-called Germanstyle beers arrive on the shelves. Although two general varieties of beer exist; lagers and ales, October seems to bring out the light golden, easy drinking brews that have refreshing flavor that are a little bigger than summer ales. They boast of malts and mild hop balance that are signature elements of German beer varieties. A style known as Kolsch is famous at this time and is provided by many brewers as a gentle blend between the lager and ale varieties. One such recent brewer has hit upon a perfect blend of light hop profile and mild malt character. So today, we investigate Kapitol Kolsch from CCB. Concord Craft Brewing renovated and beautifully restored an old brick building located at 117 Storrs Street, Concord. Owners Dennis Molnar and wife Beth Mayland had a vision to offer great tasting craft brewed beer in the Capital city. Along with their head brewer, Doug Bogle and others, this tribe of brewers and business people help to bring a dream to life. With at least 8 beers on tap at any one time, CCB gathers thirsty followers from near and far. Only open a little over a year, their fame is growing. Canning in 16 oz cans to preserve freshness and negate UV infiltration into the beer,

Concord Craft is blazing an important trail of tasty brews for all of Nh to enjoy. Kapitol Kolsch, with its 5.3% ABV, gathers its history from the Colon region of Southern Germany where this style was birthed long ago. It has no surprises and pulls no punches. It is embarrassingly honest and true to its origin. The light hop profile lets the malt’s slight sweetness peak through. It supports a brilliant white foamy head which wrings around the glass throughout most of the b ee r e x p e rien ce . T h e light golden hue only begs more attraction. A bready or grassy flavor lingers unwittingly on your tongue. This medium body beer gives satisfaction to its imbiber which helps to embellish its clean toasty finish. Since this beer has just
been released, there is no official rating by BeerAdvocate.com but one recent contributor liked it giving it high 4’s out of 5. Others on UnTapped. com and RateBeer.com all agree that this is a solid winner. You should make it a point to visit Concord Craft Brewing when you are going through Concord. This friendly group of people will pave a beer road of satisfaction while you stay. You can find Capitol Kolsch at Case-nKeg, Meredith as well as many other solid providers. Seek them out and enjoy their offerings. Jim MacMillan is the owner of WonByOne Design of Meredith, NH, and is an avid imbiber of craft brews and a home brewer as well.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING by Terry and Kim Kovel All-Wooden Washboard The 19th century in the U.S. was a time of invention. The patent office at first required a working model of an invention, but later, just accurate drawings and details were enough. Victorians loved gadgets and specialty tools. There were hundreds of patents granted for apple peelers, lighting devices, corkscrews, fruit jars, washing machines, washboards, toasters, napkin rings and cooking pots, and today there are collec-
tor clubs for almost every one of these specialties. An unusual all-wooden washboard was sold in 2016 by Hess Auction Group. It has threaded wooden rollers instead of a corrugated metal or glass rubbing surface. The maple rollers rolled in opposite directions and, according to the ads, the “screw threads do all the work.� The first wooden rollers were made by the Hubbard Brothers, and the Mother Hubbard Roller Washboard was a popular item sold door-todoor in the early 1900s. The washboards were no longer made after 1935, because they were not needed if you had an elec-

The term “Middle East” is a changing geopolitical concept. Throughout recent history, this term referred to a political, a cultural, and a geographical region with no clear boundaries. Moreover, the concept of “middle East” generates stereotypes and misunderstanding. Defaa’s lecture provides an analytical framework to understand the histories, social identities, and cultures behind this complex concept of “Middle East.”

Are you a service member, veteran, or military family member (SMVF) who needs help and doesn’t know where to go? Are you a community provider who wants to do more to help the SMVFs in our state?

Take some time to peruse the site- developed as part of DHHS’s Ask the Question outreach and awareness initiative- and find some help today! The site’s resource page contains information and links to everything from a comprehensive resource list (excerpted below) and VA FAQs, to educational material on Stigma, BATTLEMIND, and the Invisible Wounds of War, and includes tools for community providers and clinicians who want to better serve our heroes.. plus more!

—Good News!
Have you heard the good news? The good
news is that though you and I are sinners and, therefore, are deserving of hell as Romans 6:23 teaches; Jesus “came to seek and save that which was lost� (Luke 19:10). He died on the cross, shed His blood, was buried, and rose again so as to save you and me from hell. Now that is good news! But don’t be misled: the mass, Dr. Chester Kulus baptism, church attendance, prayers to Mary, (Pastor) or leading a good life can never save you. Only Jesus can save for “neither is there salvation in any other� (Acts 4:12). Jesus is the only Saviour as He Himself said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me� ( John 14:6). Will you receive this good news of salvation by receiving Christ as your Saviour from hell? Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.� For more information call Pastor Kulus at (603)632-7408, visit one of our church services, or go to www.cibcnh.org.

Plant Easy Care Daffodils Now For Added Spring Beauty by Melinda Myers Daffodils have a cheery presence in the spring garden and are a surefire way to chase away the winter blues. These fallplanted bulbs are also reliable perennials that require no maintenance and are not bothered by deer or other pests. The National Garden Bureau has declared 2017 the Year of the Daffodil, and with the fall planting season right around the corner, now is the time to choose your favorites. Yellow trumpet daffodils are classics, but there are many other flower styles and colors to choose from. Double-flowering types like white and yellow Lingerie and long lasting lemon-yellow Sherbourne feature multiple rows of petals and some varieties look more like peonies than daffodils. Multi-flowering varieties like Beautiful Eyes, display several flowers on each stem. This variety’s white and orange blossoms have a gardenia-like fragrance. Miniature daffodil Baby Boomer has five to ten flowers per stem. After blooming, the grassy foliage quickly fades away, allowing nearby perenni-

Beauty’s shorter split cup is adorned with a yellow star. These are just a few of the many choices that are available for gardens, containers and spring bouquets. Most daffodils are hardy in growing zones 3 to 8. In warmer zones, See daffodils on 28

and multiply with minimal care from you. Choose cultivars with different flower styles and bloom times, and plant in drifts to create an attractive display. Can’t decide? Consider one of the many premixed packages such as Longfield Garden’s Fragrant, Double, Miniature or Multi-flowering daffodil collections (www. longfield-gardens.com). Or, create your own longlasting display by combining early, mid and late blooming varieties. Get your daffodils off to a great start with proper planting. Order the bulbs early for best selection, and plant them in mid to late fall, any time before the ground freezes. Dig a hole and position the bulbs 6” deep with the pointy side up. Cover with soil, apply a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer and water thoroughly. Once in the ground, the bulbs can remain in place for years to come. Reserve a few daffodil bulbs for your containers and window boxes. Pot them up in the fall and make sure they get at least 15 weeks of chilling at 40-45°F. In mild climates, the containers can be left outdoors. In zones 6 and colder, they should be stored in an unheated garage where they will be cold, but won’t freeze. Start now and enjoy a brighter beginning to next year’s garden season. The daffodils you plant this fall will delight you year after year as their carefree blooms announce winter’s end and spring’s return.

She hosts The Great Courses “How to Grow Anything” DVD series and is a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine.

eco-friendly. I don’t think the weeds do either! Anyway, three times a year, operation ‘scorched-earth’ is raged. First, human residents are given fair warning when the war will commence and its duration- usually a week. This calls for the complete evacuation of the battle grounds- all streets, sidewalks and parking areas. Then, a force of two-tothree city workers arrive armed with butane torch packs and push ‘tanks’ (see photo). By the end of the week the scene is somber. Blackened and shriveled plant corpses litter the area. Their sneaking up through cracks in the pavement, between cobblestones, gravel and pavers stopped for the time-being. That is, until next spring, mid-summer and then again in the fall, when their invading ranks are once more deemed unacceptable. As a kid, I used to hireout to our neighbors to fight weeds. I did it the ‘old-fashioned’ way- pulling out one weed at a time. It was important to get out as much of the roots as possible or risk the plants growing back. Interestingly, I found that, one person’s plant might very well be another person’s weed. One neighbor, Mrs. Ellis, loved Lilly of the Valley. Her neighbor, Mr. Handsome, hated themcalled them an ‘invading species’. Kept me in business. It’s probably why I think of gardening as a battle against the weeds. Dale is a Laconia resident. With her husband of 35 years, Vince, she and their three boys have lived and travelled extensively in and around various regions in the US and Europe, as well as some parts of the Orient and the Middle East. Given her North Eastern perspective, Dale has entertained many with her insights and stories from her experiences living and travelling abroad.

New Law in Effect Banning Sale of Older, Uncertified Outdoor Wood Boilers CONCORD - As many in New Hampshire prepare for the winter heating season, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) would like to notify those considering purchasing an outdoor wood hydronic heater (commonly known as outdoor wood boilers (OWBs)) that a new state law regulating these units became effective on July 1, 2017. Specifically, the law prohibits the sale, purchase, or installation of any residential OWB that is not certified by EPA. These EPA-certified

units are high efficiency, cleaner burning devices that will save the consumer money on wood. For commercial units, only those qualified by New York State’s Energy Research Development Authority may be legally bought, sold or purchased. Importantly, all OWBs that have been legally installed in prior years are grandfathered by the
new law and may remain in place. Also, all pelletfueled OWBs are exempt from the statute. NHDES will be implementing an outreach and education plan to get the word out to NH citizens that noncertified OWBs, whether new or used, may no longer be bought, sold or re-installed at new locations. Violators could face fines of up to $250 and would
be required to remove the OWB. Old, inefficient OWBs are often significant local sources of nuisance smoke and can negatively impact people’s health. Airborne particulate matter from wood smoke and other sources has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. For more information, please contact Evan Mulholland, Air Resources Division, Compliance Bureau Administrator at Evan.Mulholland@ des.nh.gov or 603-2710882.

For example, porcupines would be loosed in the arena, followed by dogs, who’d attack the porcupines, only to retreat yelping, with snouts full of porcupine quills. Ha ha! This apparently was amusing to the cruel masses—along with the executions and the “special” fights, such as between midgets and onelegged men. But gladiatorial combat is what really captured— and still captures—the imagination. I pictured myself being led through dark, subterranean passageways and then up some stairs before being handed a wooden spear and being pushed out onto the Coliseum’s “playing field.” I’d stand blinking in the harsh sunlight, holding my modest weapon, as 60,000 “fans” roared. Fifty yards away stood a veteran gladiator, a crowd favorite, with a large weapon. The battle-scarred fighting machine had one purpose—to stay alive by killing me. I’m sure the adrenalin would course through my veins, prompted by the huge crowd and by the prospect of a bloody death. What next? I’d employ Muhammed Ali’s “Rope a Dope” strategy and try to get the gladiator
to wear himself out chasing me. (I know, this is 1800 years before Ali was born, but bear with me. After all, I’m fighting for my life here!) And I’d visualize success. As in picturing that free throw going in before sinking a charity toss. I’d make the gladiator move and chase me. This would annoy the crowd, which would yell for my death, until I’d finally turn and trip up my opponent. After knocking him senseless, I’d stand over him, awaiting a signal from the Emperor. As my opponent was a crowd favorite, the Emperor would give me a “Thumbs Up” to let the fallen gladiator live to fight again. And as the new crowd favorite, I’d be given a special status and a new job as a Roman sportswriter. (“Visualize success!”) This generous scenario is entirely atypical, as a bloody death was the usual outcome at these gladiatorial spectacles. It was an awful era but it’s important to occasionally reflect upon “man’s inhumanity to man.” Arrivederci! Sports Quiz When did Rome host the Summer Olympics? (Answer follows)

Here we ran into a speedy young man with a much smaller pack than the fellow we had just met. He was headed south from Kathadin too and he didn’t have spare time to talk.

The AMC White Mountain Guide (the new 30th edition is now available) notes that the section of trail between Harrington Pond and South Kinsman may require extra time. Yes it does!

good care of this trail and I felt badly that a big tree had fallen on the trail just above the powerline swath. The Reel Brook crossings were easily rock hop-able since the water was low. Even the usually wet flat section near the top of the trail was dry. We made good time. The Kinsman Ridge Trail is the Appalachian Trail and we followed the white blazed trail north. When we crossed the open powerline swath the morning fog and low clouds had not dried up. We could just barely see down to Bog Pond and no further. We descended to Eliza Brook and took the path to the campsite. The shelter is relatively new, built in 2010 to replace an old one. If we had come this way the first year they started hiking in the Whites we may have seen them piecing it
together. We sat on the big log on the edge of the front of the open shelter and enjoyed a rest and a snack. The Nobos (north bound) AT hikers have already passed by this way and in fact if they hope to make it to Katahdin this season they better be well into Maine. We took the path back to the trail and sitting at the intersection was a round man with a large backpack. We chatted a few minutes and we learned he was headed south on a flip-flop AT hike. He started in Georgia and hiked to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia and then traveled to Kathadin, Maine and is now hiking back to Harper’s Ferry. I looked it up: Eliza Brook Shelter to Katahdin is 382 miles and Eliza Brook to the Harpers Ferry is about 780 miles. For most of the next mile the trail follows along the

benefits that are generated.’” Yet, the NFL, its teams and its sponsors continue to benefit from a bonanza of tax-free loans, municipal bonds, rent waivers and property tax exemptions. Congress provided the league with an antitrust exemption that protects its monopoly broadcasting rights. Localities have raided “emergency” funds to help pay Lowry from 6
a tension in Trump’s emerging marriage between traditional Republican thinking and his instinctive nationalism. Yet he outlined a few key expectations. He said, repeatedly, that we want nations committed to promoting “security, prosperity and peace.” And we look for them “to respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other sovereign nation.” Every country that Trump criticized fails one or both of these tests. So, by the way, do Russia and China. Trump’s core claim that “the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition” is indubitably correct;
for stadium construction. And corporate benefactors write off their expenses for luxury boxes, tickets and naming-rights purchases. As long as the NFL has its hog noses buried in the taxpayer trough, I’ll keep speaking up about all the football militants who backed former 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick and his disgusting cops-aspigs socks. You wanna raise your
fists on the field? Get your grubby hands out of our pockets first.
it is what makes selfgovernment possible. If the alternative is being governed by an imperial center or transnational authorities, the people of almost every nation will want -- and fight, if necessary -- to govern themselves. (See the American Revolution.) The U.N. is hardly an inappropriate forum for advancing these ideas. “The Organization,” the U.N. charter itself says, “is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.” To the extent that the U.N. is now a gathering place for people hoping the nationstate will be eclipsed, it’s useful to remind them that it’s not going away. All that said, there were indeed weaknesses
in the speech. First, as usual, Trump’s bellicose lines stepped on the finer points of his message. Second, sovereignty can’t alone bear the weight of being the organizing principle of American foreign policy. Finally, Trump’s foreign-policy vision is clearly a work in progress, as he accommodates himself to the American international role he so long considered a rip-off and waste of time. Trump is adjusting to being the head of a sovereign nation -- that happens to be the leader of the world.

people don’t see a political process working in parallel with our de-escalation efforts, the violence will resume. Any gains against ISIS will only be temporary.” Amb. Haley stressed realistically, “But the only lasting solution in Syria, the only way to end the violence and defeat terrorism, is through a political transition, one that does not allow Iranian influence to replace ISIS or Assad in power. If the civil war continues, more people will suffer.” Again easier said than done. The power vacuum in Syria which the Obama Administration allowed, permitted Vladimir Putin to militarily intervene to prop up the then teetering Assad. Equally a maze of terrorist groups proliferated, ISIS, Al Qaida and Al Nussra among them. Correspondingly the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Hezbollah militia from Lebanon, tipped the balance towards Damascus. Russia, along with Iran and Turkey have thrown their weight behind a political process, but probably not to our liking. Though I vigorously disagree with Turkey’s President/Sultan Tayep
Erdogan’s machinations in neighboring Syria, we must concede that Turkey has taken in over two million Syrian refugees. This is economically and politically destabilizing. Turkey wants a political quid pro quo for its humanitarian efforts. Yet it is Iran who plays a far more sophisticated geopolitical game in this ancient land. Iran’s Shiite clerics support the minority Shiite/Alawite clan in Syria through which they can fuel division of the Islamic communities in the region. Equally Tehran has gained a military foothold on the Mediterranean allowing Iran a strategic advantage. The EU’s top diplomat Federica Mogherini warned, “The war in Syria is not over yet. The people of Syria are still suffering.” Finding a political solution remains elusive. Nonetheless, no matter which side ultimately gains it’s only a Pyrrhic victory. John J.

“Butter”
Hello! My name is Butter. I am an 8 year old short-haired brown tabby. I have peacefully coexisted with a lot of the other cats here at the shelter. I am declawed, but only in the front. I came into the shelter as a stray so not very much is known about my past, but I am a sweet boy in need of a quiet environment that doesn’t overstimulate me, for this reason a home with no dogs or children would fit me best. I am independent and will come to you on my own terms when I am in the mood for some loving. I received the name butter because I am a bit of a butterball, so I would benefit from a home that would put me on a diet! If you have room for one more, come meet me!

Samuel de Champlain of what is now New Hampshire. Continuing to Cape Cod the Captain and his men loaded sassafras trees into their ship and headed back to England, being attacked by some of the native people as they prepared to leave, but escaping with the help of their guard dogs. The sassafras was used for medicinal purposes and was purposely sought out by the Pring expedition. On a return trip in 1606 Pring mapped the Maine Coast. Samuel de Champlain is
said to have mapped the coastline in 1605. As for Captain John Smith, he is still given a lot of credit for his discovery of the New Hampshire seacoast and the Isles of Shoals, a group of islands about six miles off the New Hampshire and Maine coastlines. Smith’s mapping of the New England Coast and the accuracy of his work certainly is one of the reasons that he is called the discoverer of New Hampshire, along with the fact
that he produced written documents of his explorations including “A Description of New England.” He is reported to have been seeking things like whales and gold on his trip to New England, and would have liked to have been involved in establishing a new colony of people from England here, but plans for him to return never materialized, nor did the new colony. He did have furs and an abundance of fish too take home with him. The sea near New England provided excellent conditions for fish production, particularly the deep waters around the Isles of Shoals. Two attempts on returning to New England by the Captain failed. His ships were wrecked in a storm on the first trip and he returned to England and he was captured by pirates on the second try from whom he escaped after a few weeks and made his way back to England. Some believe he was planning to establish a colony on the banks of the Piscataqua, but it seems that no one can be exactly sure about what location in New England John Smith was referring to when he wrote “…of all the foure parts of the world that I have yet See smith on 45

Whether you agree or not, as we observe Columbus Day this year, think also of Martin Pring, discoverer of New Hampshire, and also Captain John Smith, whom some may think still deserves that title, remembering that all of them endured hardships and disappointments in their historic exploits. Columbus died in 1506 at the age of 59, John Smith died in 1631 at the age of 51, and Martin Pring died in 1626 after 46 years of life.
